LOUISIANA TROUBLE.


New ORLEANS, Aug. lS.-Times-
Democrat New iberia special says: New
warrants were issued Saturday evening
to Sheriff Veazy for the arrest of ex-
Sheriff Viator and Deputy Clerk Etie,
who are in custody at Odd Fellows hall
under guard of the militia. The sheriff
read the warrants to the prisoners and
fixed Niator's bond at $5, 900 and Etie 8
at 1000. They were given till 6
D. In. to furnishh bond, but failed
10 do so. Few minutes after 3 all
the military forces here formed in front
of Odd Fellows hall The prisoners,
with Armeline, ex -jailer, were brought
out and delivered to- Sheriff Veazy.
The escort formed on Main street and
marched to the Jail, where the prisoners
were locked up. The Jail was then
surrounded by the militia and guards
placed on the corners of the streets
and no one was permitted to go through
without a pass. The Louisiana field
battery were ordered home, but as there
was some talk of disturbance after the
New Orleans militia returned home,
they were again ordered to remain until
relieved by other troops. Viator's sup
porters have little hesitancy in saying
they do not recognize Judge Gates and
the State government. Merchants are
watching their stores, and vigilant
watch is kept for fear Of incendiarism
Judge Fontameli states he has thou
sand friends here he could call on if so
desired. He is much incensed at Via
tors arrest, but moves about without
saying much.

In the case from which this account is

A Micro.cope PeddIer,. Trick.
IPittsburg Commerciall


An Allegheny physician. having his sus-
picions aroused that there was some tfick
about the living things found in the water
on the south side when examined under a
microscope, found that peddler of micro
scopes had led to all the trouble The
attention of DR.. Shillito of Allegheny
was called to the matter. DIR. ShiIlito posses
ses one of the finest microscopes in the co,in
try. and is an expert in all miscroscopical
matters. He examined one of the peddler 5
plates, and found that the ~wrigglers
were what are known as sour paste lizards.
These creatures. invisible to the naked
eye, are generated by sour paste The
paste can be dried and kept for years. A
drop Of water will dissolve it and reani-
mate the thousands of lizards that it con
tains
The peddler was hunted up and forced
to divulge his secret. He had in his vessl
pocket small bottle filed with sour paste
in liquid form. On entering an office he
would offer to show the impurities In a
drop of water. The drop would be
brought to him on his glass plate. In the
most natural manner possible he would
draw his toothpick. which was sticking in
the invisible bottle. and spread the waite,
over the surface of ths glass. Just enough
of the sour paste adhered to the toothnics
and was deposited on the glass TO carry $
number OF the hzards with it. The glass.
so prepared. would be placed under the
magnifieI. and the water would be found
to be alive with transparent lizards thai
seemed never tired of flashing back ana
forth under the glass. DR. Shillito eS
posed the trick 70 a number of friends ia>i

them believe that it was the water alone
