NOTED HORSE THIEF. Perry Horne,
a noted horse thief, who stole three
horses In our parish during the month
of December or January last, has at
last been caught and safely lodged
behind the prison bars of our parish
Jail. He was arrested last winter,
soon after one of his thefts, by Capt.
Alex. Haas and others, on Bayou
Boeuf, but he made a bold break for
liberty, and although shot as two or
three times, made good his escape.
Sheriff Duson, learning that he hailed
originally from Bay st. Louis, Miss,
telegraphed description of the col
ored thief to the sheriff of that place,
who after months of watching, finally
caught him aud telegraphed Duson to
come after his game. Duson returned
with him on Tuesday. He is the same me-
gro who tried to escape from Duson some
years ago, but was brought to a sum
mary halt by bullet frem Duson's nm
erring pistol. He is also the father of
Clint Horne, who was sentenced to the
penitentiary for horse-staaling at the
last term of our criminal court. His
noted exploits in horse flesh will doubt
less give him several years in the PEN
itentiary, where he aud his hopeful son
can arrange captures new in the fu-
ture.

INCINERATIoN.

The United States Cremation Company
has lust incorporated in New York, and a
crematory is to be erected there. Unlike
the shortsighted, narrow and opinionated
authorities of San Francisco, the New York
Health Board does not object to this
method of disposing of the dead. Even
they cannot check the reform. 1t IS
too vital and important a one to be stayed
bv the feeble protests of Board that is be-
hind the age. 1t is undecided as yet
whether the new company at New York
will adopt the Siemens or Gorim method.
The latter prevails in Italy and the former
in Germany. The Siemens' system heats
the furnace by the combustion of ordinary
Illuminating gas, in connection with super
heated air, to white heat-that is, a
temperature of 5000 Fahrenheit The
volatile products of the combustion
are carried through regenerat-
ing furnace before they are liberated
The Gorini method subjects the body to be
cremated to bath in a chemical solution
which facilitates combustion, thus making
the burning possible at a much lower
temperature. The residuum ordinarily
| weighs about per cent. of the weight o
the body cremated, and six pounds o
ashes, being the residue of $50 pounds thu:
reduced, would fill space about nine
inches square.
The New York society now numbers
some /, 500 members, including some of thu
brightest minds of the great metropolis
The society at Copenhagen has 1000 mem
bers; that of Holland 1 100, Paris 400, Nj
Ian 800. Florence, Rome, Berlin, Dresden
London and Rio Janeiro have large socie
ties, while that of Pennsylvania PRACTICAL.
includes all the people, since no opposition
is now raised to cremation there and tn
law Of the State recognizes the process a
| legitimate disposal of the dead.

A Crocodile Adventure.

| had an extraordinary adventure with
a crocodile during a walk one day, which
might have terminated rather unpleasantly
for me. Our experience had always been
that crocodiles were among the shyest ami
mails that one meets with in Africa the
large ones more particularly so. OF course
no one would ever think of going into deep
water where these animals are numerous
as | believe they are anything but afraid of
man when they encounter him in tn 7r ma
tive element; and one not unfreQuently hears
of Arabs being carried off by them when
attempting to swim across rivers. We
had, however, never hesitated to APP
proach the banks of a river even when
they shelved off into deep water. On
this occasion we had gone down to the
river to drink at place where the water
was very deep, and | was STOPPING down,
drinking out of the palm of my hand
when suddenly my brother gave me a
vigorous pull back. A very large croco-
die, with huge head, was making for
me, and was within two feet of where
was standing when he perceived it. As
soon as | jumped back the crocodile
turned tail and made for the middle of the
river An Arab boy, who was holding our
rifles while we drank, was SO much aston
ished that he stood openmouthed, and was
so awkward that neither of us could snatch
a rifle quick enough from him to get shot
before the monster sank and disappeared
Probably, if my brother had not seen the
crocodile when he did, it would have tried
to knock me into the river with its tail. II
had no doubt heard us drinking, and had
popped round from behind a rock. Sir
Samuel Baker says in his book, The
Nile Tributaries of Abyssinia," that the
crocodiles on the Settle are noted for their
daring. This was certainly an instance of
the truth of this remark.-[The Wild
Tribes of the Soudan
