HORSE THIEF.-On last Friday
morning, atabout 8 o'clock, young ne
gro, aged about twenty years, rode up
to Garland Station on a fine young
mare which he offered to sell at $50.
Henry James, the celered man to whom
the mare was offered, at once suspect
ed that the animal was stolen, and
told the ostensible owner, that there
was man down at the store who
would buy 1T from him, and gained his
permission to ride thee mare down
there for a trade. As soon as H.
reached the stere, two or three parties
Immediately recognized the animal as
the young mare of Charles F. Garland
Of Opelonsas. Henry was sent back to
get the man, as purchaser was found
at the price offered. Henry came back
in few minutes with his man, when
Mr.. Keller told him that the horse was
stolen, and that he would arrest him on
suspicion. The fellow Immediately
broke and ran across the bayou, when
Mr.. Keller tried to stop him by firing
two shots after him. This, however, only
increased his speed, but in the mean
time Henry James and Tom Duffel-the
two colored men gave hot pursuit,
and after chasing him some distance
they captured him as he was trying to
recross Bayou BGuf. The thief and.
mare were beth taken to Opelonsas on
the same day, and delivered into the
custody Of the sheriff by Messrs Keller
and Parrott of Garland Station. Much
praise is due Henry James and Tom
Dnffel for their zeal in capturing the
thief.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

The October Century, which closes the
 twentyeighth volume of this magazine, con-
 tains the announcement of some of the fea-
 lures of the coming magazine year, chief
 among which is a profusely illustrated series
 on sFBatties and Leaders of the Civil War, J
 most of which will be written by generals, either upon the federal or confederate side,
 actually in command during the various en-
 agreements. Predatory to these articles is the opening paper in this number on Lights and Shadows of Army Life," by George E. Williams, the well known war correspond ent Henry Bacon, of the art colony in Paris, writes Interestingly of Rosa Bonheur. Brander Matthews writes with the know ledge of 8 friend literary criticism of Aus tin Dobson, whose portrait, after mono chrome by Frederick Watts, is the frontis- piece of the number The other illustrated papers are Dr. Eggleston's article on tSocial Conditions in the Colonies," which is pro- fusely illustrated by pictures of ante-revolu- tionary houses now standing; Prof. Lang on stThe New Astronomy describes in a
 popular way sThe Surroundings of the Sun the text being supplemented with 19

1 Garnet Wolseley and Lord Alcester running away in fright before the apparition of the Gallic Cock, which appears at the mouth of the tunnel. If England's expenditure of e62, ,O00, 900 per annum for military and naval purposes is not enough, said Sir Edward, to guard the country, Notwithstanding such a tunnel, then it ought tq be turned to some more useful purpose. And most reasonable 1 men will doubtless be of the same opinion. ''It was most unfortunate;" said Sir Ed l ward, "that this opposition on the part of the government should have occurred at 0 time when the relations between England and France were already somewhat strained. What was wanted was not 8 policy of jeal- ousy and suspicion, but one calculated to promote cordial and confidential relations be- tween the two countries; and what could 1 have better worked to that end than that the two nations would have been engaged in an undertaking that would bring them nearer l together? There was nothing like co-operat- ing for the furtherance of peaceful objects to promote peace, as there was nothing like raising little causes of pickering for creating war, and if these strained relations between the two countries continued" said Sir Ed ! ward, ''I only fear that war will be the re- suit"
 With reference to the tunnel itself every | thing is in statu quo, but not so with respect to public feeling ''In London" said Sir l Edward, ''you cannot gauge the feeling of
 
 | growing in favor of the tunnel, and one of these days Mir. Gladstone will be surprised | to find how the tables will be turned upon | him. England will be ashamed of the timo- rous, short-sighted policy she has been per- suing, as many of her best men are already ashamed of it. What MT. Gladstone's govern ment ought to have done was to ask the powers to come to an agreement to regard l the tunnel as an international enterprise and l as one never to be made use of for warlike purposes. Such an undertaking was made between England and the United States in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty; there was simi- 1 lar stipulation in the case of the Honduras 1 railway; and there was no reason why it | should not be for the benefit of all peo- ples.''
 In reply to question as to what the pro- motors were at present doing, Sir Edw. Wat kin said that they were doing nothing; they were waiting for the growth of public opin- 1 ion; the people would surely come round to their way of thinking when they had given l the subject careful consideration. For the rest they purposed bringing the subject be- Parliament every session.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.

The prohibitionists are very active this year, but their zeal is not, in our opinion, according to knowledge. Rev Dr. Hatfield of Chicago, who is a most earnest advocate of prohibition, sees the situation as it is. He does not believe that the prohibitionists can afford to play into the hands of thei1 worst enemies, the Democrats, by supporting St. John. The reasons he gives for his posi- tion deserve the attention of all who are really interested in temperance work These reasons are:
 This third party movement does not seem likely to promote the cause of temperance or prohibition. It threatens to do harm not only in one but in many ways These among others: By causing divisions and heart alterations among the friends of tenn perance, rendering their cordial cooperation in the future difficult. By elevating to office a class of men who are the armed and implac. able enemies of the temperance reform The election of these men will prepare the way for, and no doubt secure, such legislation as will be acceptable to the whisky party Il this view is correct, it must be years before the cause of temperance recovers from tht consequences of this blunder on the part o1 its friends
 The case could hardly have been better stated than it is by Dr. Hatfield. The pro hibition movement this year is not wise

ABORIGINAL CREMATION.
How the Indians of Colorado Cure the Sick and Burn the Dead.

Sick and Burn the Bead. From the Chicago Times.1
 The Haulapais as well as the Mohave h. dians in southwestern Colorado and Utah cremate the dead. The body is laid in the ground about eighteen inches below the sur face; piles of brush and logs are thrown above and below, to make a hot fire. Dur ing the burning the natives and friends throw their blankets and other valuables into the flames The value is regulated by the degree of kinship. The ashes are thrown to the four winds. One will say to another: q am not going to throw my blanket to your brother, for you did not throw anything for my father"-social etiquette we should call that if it were question of wearing black, suppose. They burn also immense numbers of ponies, and have great wake. The less important people are sometimes buried with no sacrifice of property, but that is not proper respect.
 Roth Spencer and Captain Pierce say it is impossible to break up these wasteful feasts among the elders; the young men who are mixing in the world already desplse them They have no religion whatever, Spencer savs as far as he has been able to find out. They believe in no spirits except those of the departed. which they think finger about the place of death. They never pass such 8 place at night if they can avoid it. They would seem to be promising disciples for the Spiritualists. Their medicine men have lit tie power, apparently, and, like those of the northwest Indians, are killed if their patient dies. The medicine man is born to the posi- tion and cannot help himself. Any peculiar ity in a child is apt to be considered an indl- cation; but if he goes to gathering herbs It is certain sign A medicine man, however, gets large recompense, and a man Wno IS cured is always pretty poor, no matter what he ownad before,
