Prohibition.

Not long since. with c~ommenGabie
wisdom, the Police Jury Of this parish
ordered au election for or against
prohibition. To their discredit the
prohibitionists We're defeated. The
question was to them an argument OF
strength. and relying upon it alone,
they renamed Quiescent as it were and
budged not an inch in the support of
question that concerned deeply the
welfare of almost every son and dangh
ter of ou: parish. The question was.
should or should We not abolish the
sale of intoxicants An almost every
day experience teaches us that this
bane to society should he arrested and
it is only%by the baIlotting OF our PEG
pie that it can be denr. Let Us unite
in the hope that at the proper time our
Police Jury will order another election
and that every son and daughter u
Avoyelles will lend his might TO the
furtherancc of Il question which should
be all absorbing to our people, Let Us
abolish intoxicants from our public pla
ces ard we will be 10y far a happier and
more prosperous people. Who will
unite with us in Il war against intoxl-
cants Let Prohibition be our reveille.

Grants Indifference to Music.

The appreciation Of music was to
him a lost sense; the musicians
score was a sealed book. He used
to say lie knew only two tunes +:
one was"lankee Doodle,' and the
other wasn't. In the days when he
was received on all OCCASIONS to the
music of brass bands lie would say
with mock pride that he really be
lieved he had added a third tune
to his repertoire -''Hail to the
Clrief".

pitched at City Point, at the time
the armies sat down in front OF
Richmond and Petersburg, a gene

AIDE stationed at that place wan

ford the commanding General espe
cial delight, ST he sent the brigade
band over to the head quarters
camp to play while the mess were
dining. About the thicd evening
the General remarked : give no

to suppress it, and see whether it
could be made to obey an order to

band-master was putting with all
the visor of u quack-medicine ad

to his music, and it was not so easy
a task to attract his attention
Like a sperm whale, he had come
up to blow, and was not going to
be put down till he had finished j;

LoNoRE. Ark, Aug. 8l.-Details OF the
hanging OF Henry Burnett at that place last
Thursday for the murder Of Nelson Auier'
SON in February last. are Simply herri'
ble. When everything was ready for the
execution the prisoner !seomed scarcely able
to stand, and Just before he was placod on
tho trap he finally fell down. The officers
struggled to hold him on the trip hut
:weFe unsuccessful, he having fallen quite
across it. They made frantic
efforts to get him in position.
whom all at onec a cry Of horror arose from
the bystanders at seeing the man grasping
the rope with both hands and the ctlicers
struggling to free his ho'd. They knelt on
him on the platform, AMI at last succeeded
In looaening his iron grasp. Then they tied
him moro securely, he writhing oil the
while In their grasp.
:, Al last he was apparently securely tied
again, when tho second attempt was made
20 pnt him on tho trap, but he would not
stand, and with all their efforts the o fficers
were unable to got him in position.
About this time the trap, through some
unsccountable circumstanceS fell, and
down went ons OF the officers, carrying this
condemned man partially through the trap
with him, but the officer regainel his feet
and the prisoner was hell back by the
officers. The trap was reset AMI the
strange, sickening scene proceeded. Again
tho officers did their utmost to get
tho maa on the trap, and so nearly
did they succeed that thu sheriff
sprung the trigger and down won't the
doomed man, together with ano her II tie
officers, but this officer, like tho other, re-
covered and reascended, willis the poor
wretch caught the scaffoll with one hand
and the post below the scaffold with his
feet, and hung there. The officers dragged
him up by the neck; the trap was again
set The man was now thrown down on the
platform on his face, his hands tied Sc
curely behind him, his feet doubled back on
his thighs and securely fastened at last.
Up to this time no word had escaped the
mans lips, but while this last process was
going on he bleated like some dunn b animal
In the clutch Of some wild beast going tc
devour him, piteously telling the officers
through the awful black mask that if they
would not tie him up that way he would
stand up, but no heed was given this pr omise
and in this position he was placed on the
trap, moaning for mercy. During the last
struggle two bystandsrs went up on the
platform and assisted in finally making him
secure. Then placing tie poor fellow on his
knees on the trap, deputy sheriffs holding
him in position there, the trap was sprung
and the misshapen mass fell through the
black hole of ignominious death. The rope
stretched to its utmost, and with twirl the
body bounded upward again, made few
swings, turn or two, and all was still. His
crime had been expiated. -.
