Capt. Dudley, of the yacht Mignonette,
has been arrested and is to be tried on a
charge of murder, in England, under very
interesting circumstances. The yacht
was disabled in a gale last July while be-
tween Madeira and the Cape. The crew,
three men and boy, took to the boat.
They presently caught a turtle, on which
they subsisted for several days. Time
passed, and their small stock of food came
to an end Then for time they starved.
At last the captain proposed they cast lots
to decide which of them should die to keep
the others alive. This proposition was
rejected. When, however, they had been
fifteen days without food, after further
debate. 1t was agreed that the boy Parker,
who was already very weak, and plainly
sinking fast, should die, and the captain,
after asking pardon of God for what he
was going to do, killed the lad For three
DAYS the survivors subsisted on the flesh
OF the victim. and then they Were picked
up by passing vessel and taken into Fall
mouth. There Captain Dudley made re-
port OF the facts, concealing nothing. and
evidently not thinking that he had incur
red any responsibility. The magistrates
of Falmouth thought differently, and on
the strength of his own signed and sworn
denosition he was arrested

Louisiana has, more than any other
State, suffered from bad government,
and undoubtedly is now one of the
worst governed States in the Union
and yet our present government is good
now compared with that i'll the days OF
radicalism. 1t is, longer use-
less to disguise the fact that a great
revolution is now going OD in the Dem
ocratic ranks of this State. BY the
presence of many leading men in our
town from all parts OF the State this
week and through conversation with
them we get an idea of what IS transpl-
ring in the State. BIalnes
bad reputation as against Cleveland's
good, undoubtedly holds many in check
and now the only salvation for the
Democratic party is Reform. This nn-
der the present state of affairs, seems
impossible to accomplish at present.
We can say nothing good for our State
party. The side that is in power keeps
up a little music bnt it is without soul
and without effect. When people catch
the fever of revolt it becomes conta-
gious. General disgust with the meth
DDS of the powers that be is the main
underlying cause and it ripens into
madness and blinds them SO that they
cannot see far frof9 homea and a reYOlt
by many against the entYe party is the
result. LGS no be Demo
Gratis in the principle, yt6te by principle,
and we will yet find ehbugh gJod Dem

Harry Coultaus Is a young artist engaged

To u group Of them one day he made the
remark in d quiet n that, though he
had never before been at Vassar or enjoyed
the acquaintance Of any OF its charming in.
mates, he had had letters from several hun.
bred Of the students there, The young
ladies naturally expressed their surprise.
"Not anonymously, l hopei7 suggested one
Of them. "Oh, nor replied Coultau3; they
use their right Names. l fled their letters,
and comparing them with TIE printed ac-
counts of the commencement l found that
the writers had used their true names- Some

Their photographs And you a stranger to
themln exclaimed the girls in chorus "a
perfect stranger. But they sent not only
their pictures Tut their dimensions, complex
ions, and all That. They even wrote details
of the color OF their hair, their eyes, their
dimensions around the shoulders, busts, and
waists, aud they even sent me the numbers
of the gloves, ihoes, and hose they wore.
II don't believe n word OF it, exclaimed
one Of the prospective graduates. But it is
strictly true" he protested. And, more.
over, they alvajs as1ed me to send them
s1me such articles as bonno.s. wraps, Dire ses,
an even jewelry.1 And of course you did
not disappoint the foolish c~raaturesfn asked
