DonaldsonyiIle Chief: A friend
who visited Napoleonville last
week informs us that there is d
little colored girl at that place suf-
fering from hydrophobia, produ-
ced by the bite of a cat that had
been previously bitten by rabid
dog. The unfortunate child is en-
tirely conscious of her condition
and in the intervals between the
paroXyisms of the terrible disease
converses and plays in an entirely
rational manner, and when she
feels spasm coming on she calls
her auut to hold her until it has
passed, warning her little brother
and bystanders not to come too
near as she does not wish to bite
them. The case has excited much
interest in the vicinity and large
numbers of people have visited the
house where the afflicted girl lives.
We have not learned of her condi-
ton since last week, but of course
fatal result of the malady is in
evitable, and only a question of
time.
Aarksvillc Bulletin: Mai. Jules
Dldier, of Mayors Saloon, besides
being a first class mixologist, is the
prince of good fellows. His tact
is to know when and how to please.

he strives every day to show his
friendship for the fraternity, and
whether it Is in delicious honey or
fat juicy papabots he manages to
place us under obligations to him.
That's right, Jules, you cannot inn

Marksville Bulletin: Last Mon
day while n number of gentlemen
were at Barbin's Landing on Red
river, waiting the arrival of the
Iazoo Valley, they discovered a
box protruding out from the bank
where it had been caving into the
river. Their curiosity being excl
ted they Ding around it and found
it to contain a dead body, wrapt in
a blanket. 1t was decomposed and
only the bones were seen, which
presented a. black, mildewcd ap-
pearance. 1t was evidently the
body of some soldier, who with
his blanket rs shroud and rough
box as Il coffin, had been laid to
rest on the banks of Red river. No
doubt some mother or wife or 9TH
er loving one, faraway, would give
a world to have in their possession
even this mass of bones, now mol
doring in the watery sands of Red
river, unwept, unhonored and un-.

BienviIle New Era: DIR. Miller,
who appeared in Gibsland nearly
two weeks ago, claiming TO come
from Austin, Texas, and talked a
good deal about purchasing prop
erty, proved to be a regular dead
beat, who had beat a landlady in
Shreveport out of a board bill by
skipping from the town. After
leaving his overcoat in soak here,
he took "a gravel train,' of which
he was conductor, engineer and
fireman, towards the rising sun.
We do not call him a dead-beat
because he had no money-many
good but unfortunate men have
because he pretended to
have plenty of that article.
Pointe Coupee Banner: Nearly
all the horses, mules, COWS and
ether live stock inthis PARISH came
out of the long, wet and cold win
ter in poor condition, and the
spring was so backward they have
been very slow i'm improving IN
but now that the pastu-
rage is becoming luxuriant, they
are picking up rapidly.
