party to win victory they demand that
they be treated a. other members OF the
party. They do not in the future pro-
pose to play Samson to Deliah. They
propose to put their strength where it
will bene fit them the most. Seeing that
the Democratic party is torn asunder,
the Republican party may turn up its

we warn it that the colored people OF
the north and west have the balance OF

Young Ladies be Careful.

An exchange pertinently says: The
avidity with which the young ladies form
the acquaintance of hicc.looking well
dressed strangers OF the opposite aex, at
public places, i. astonishing, aud II fre-
quently happens that their eagerness
soon after turns TO regret. Ladies' should
be less solicitous Of attentions from
strangers, remembering that appearances
often deceive, and that good clothes,
jewelry and tine looks are not the only
recommendations OF gentleman. The
worst leeches upon virtuous and genteel
society are usually among the best dress
ed men that are to be found, and not
unfreqnently good-looking, which latter
fact seems to be the foremost consider
alton with some young ladies Of the
present day. They should stop to inquire
of the moral status Of strangors, before
evincing the slightest desire to receive
any courtesies from them.

death in a novel wav. 1t managed
to twist its neck into q swing used
by the children and hung itself. The
children thought it funny to see it
run and jump and swing itself, just
like they would do, but when they
realized that the sheep was in dan
ger. and ran to get help. it was too
late, and the animal was choked to
death before it could be loosed.

cut the rope at 1892, and the body
shot to the length of the drop, ST feet.
Although the knot was directly un-
der the ear, at the tightening of the
rope it slipped to the back of his neck,
and there was doubt in the minds of
some as to whether or not the prison.
er's neck was broken. Several experts
present gave it as their opinion that,
whether his neck was broken or not,
Wilson Saunders died as quickly as if
his head had been chopped off.
At l2:47 Drs. w. T. Williams and
r. L. Randolph pronounced him dead,
and at 1854 he was lowered into his
coffin, rope, black cap and all, the lid
nailed down, and then turned over to
his relatives for burial.
Thus ends the first execution in
Grant parish. 1t is also the last public
execution that we shall have, law
having just passed the Legislature that
after the next thirty days all execu-
tons in Louisiana shall be conducted
in private.
The maudlin curiosity and depraved
taste of humanity was strikingly shown
in the vast crowd which gathered yes
terday to see Wilson Saunders hung.
There must be an innate cruelty in
people who will ride IS or 80 miles to
witness the death struggles and con-
tOrtiOns of man upon the gallows.
Shame on the men and women who
can gloat over such a revolving spec
tacle.
