VINO REDUCED THE SUGAR Tariff?
The adjustment of internal reve-
nue. will prevent any reduction of
the present tariff, and sugar, being
an article that will produce more
revenue than any product intro
duced into the United States, will
be in no danger Of any further
diminution. and may probably be
placed at higher figure. At all
events it stands with far mora safe
ty upon the Democratic platform
than it can upon that of the Repub-
icans. All the reduction that has
been made on the sugar tariff in
twenty-five years has been made by
Republican Congresses and signed
by Republican Presidents. II the
tariff has had anything to do with
the depression Of the sugar inter-
esta, the Republican party alone il
responsible. -Thibodaux Sentinel.

hard to kill, however; their sense Of

keen eyes, they generally manage
TO keep out of the reach OF danger:
but when surprised within reach OF

to me to "coms on" yet I still lin

grandest views on earth. This is
the old grazing ground of the buf-
falo, and some Of the half-breeds
are yet here; they came near here
last winter, but the white man is
here now, and they have to give
way to the march of civilization.
To-day I saw what are called the
'cow boys" They were in melon

we were with them I have been
assured that they showed me mari

If YOU leave town tomorrow, no knowing

My Bessie, can't say goodbye.
Come into the garden q moment;
Well part in the old-fashioned way;
Well gather some flowers, while chat
It will help you to lengthen your stay.
Here's heliotrope. this means devotion
It's language is tender and true;
Its beauty and delicate perfume
Bear this message, my de&r. II love

This heart's-ease says. ''think of me,
You will heed what it tells you, know;
Perhaps you'll not need . reminder,
I'm quite sure, hope twill be SO.
This lily's symbol of you. dear,

Note its grace, and its exquisite beauty,
Yet how charmingly modest and pure

GEO. SALES CAPTURED.

In November. 1876. negro by
the name of VIM. Taylor was MUIR
dered, in Covington, by another
negro named George Sales. The
circumstances were as follows:
Taylor and a friend Of Sales named
Daniel Prophet had had q quarrel
the day previous to the murder,
and they came to blows. Taylor
proved to be the best man of the
two and Prophet was badly beaten.
The next day Taylor and Sales met
and the latter opened FIRE, shoot
ing Taylor down. While he lay
writhing on the ground Sales walk
ed up, thrust the muzzle of his re-
volver into Taylor's mouth and
fred the last shot, which proved
instantly fatal.
Sales was arrested and tried for
the murder, and sentenced to the
Penitentisry for life. Before he
could be taken to Baton Rouge be
broke jail, and has since eluded al
efforts to recapture him.
It appears that Sales made hii
way to McComb City. and secured
employment in the car shops
About two weeks he went to New
Orleans, where he was seen ane
recognized by a citizen of Coving
ton, who informed Sheriff Cook o
the fact. and the latter wrote t:
Chief Bachemin. giving a descrip
ton of Sales and history of hi
crime, aud requesting that Sales b.
arrested, warning the Chief, how
ever. to be careful as Sales was I
desperate character.
Last Wednesday afternoon De
tectives Pecora, Kerwin and Andr,
arrested sales on the Magnoli,
bridge, &C ross the New Basin. TIL
three officers drove up in . cal
aud advanced on Sales, who wa
engaged in conversation. The,
drew their revolvers, and placing
the muzzles of their weapons a
Sales head, demanded his sulren
der. Seeing that resistance Wa
! useless, he surrendered, and wa
conducted to the Central Station
A revolver was found on his per
son, and he tod the officers b
would have killed them if they hat
given him n chance.
Sheriff Cook was ut once notified
by telephone, of the arrest, and lei
for the city yesterday morning, t
bring Sales to Covington. Frou
here he will be sent to the Peniten
tiary for the balance Of his life.

At 10 A. n. we are again ION the

Tie first station we come to is SAM
patrice, on the line Of the Texas
aud Pacific Railroad. The land
here is very poor. Cotton is from
3 to 6 inches high. At Mansfield
station the land is still poorer, If
possible; cotton is small and weak
ly, and is doing its very best to be
six inches high by frost. At Doyle
station we had regular surprise;
forty "yaller" gals aud bucks board

q different odor from what they
previously had; they were return
ing from . camp-meeting, and
while was study ing what to do.
they all left. and left Us cup, which
we appropriated to our stock in
trade. At Shreveport Junction we
were presented with some of the
most delicious peaches which we
saw in the orchards. The trees pre-
sent . very tempting appearance to

west, and at half-past "a. n. the

The Highest Education.

The is a great deal that is wrong in
sur modern method of education. 1t
teaches a man to be gentleman, but
yet does not give him the power of
making living. It stuff5 him with
facts and meaningless words, phrases
and theories, but does not enable him
to think for himself and become a
man in the highest and best sense.
His education is to general and not
practical enough. All classes should
be taught that PERUNA-the great
remedy compounded by DR., Hart
man-is the very thing he needs for
the restoration of his health and the
tonining up of the body. Being com
posed of pure vegetable substances
and containing no poisonous miner
ais, they are just the thing for all
classes of people, and all should learn
at once that it is to their interest tC
inquire into the merits of this medi
cine, for therein lies the highest edu'
cation. Ask your druggist for Pc
