CoIored People of New Orleans

Cor. LOulSVlue OOurler-JOuFnall
There are four colored lawyers here and
i've doctors, one civil engineer and any
number of building contractors. You
can see here white and colored bricklayers
on the same scaffold together. with the
colored man carrying up the corners and
doing the fancy work while an Irishman
carries the hod. There are many wealthy
property holders among them here. A
great many of them are Catholics The
white and colored worship together. The
estimated wealth of the colored people
here is in the tens of millions.
The standard of morality is not so high
as / had hoped TO find it, but as a stream
cannot flow above its source, the fault is
with the city on the whole. AS cleanli-
ness is gOdliness, the filthy must be
wicked. The colored man, if he can fur
nish such goods as they use, is well
patronized by the best class of whites,
but the best colOred trade goes to the
whites, as it does everywhere. White
help is abundant here and it is mostly
from the north. These northern white
cooks and walters have union here. and
no negroes can join it, nor will they work
in a house or on boat where colored
help is employed if they can help 1t

OF all medicinal preparations that have been put
upon the market in recent years, the extract of
tonic or remedial beverage. 1t has receiv ed
the unqualified recognition and support of ply
scians, and is freely prescribed by them in many
cases, especially where the nervous or physical
systems have been impaired by disease over
work. The house of ''DANID NICHOLSON
of this city, has recently introduced pure malt
extract of high character, made at their request
and under their suggestions by Mr.. AdOlphus
Busch, and which is popularity known as mich
OLSON'S LIQUID BREAD" from its life-giving
and healih-restoring properties. A sample sub
mitted to DR.. f. l. James was made the subject
of a chemical analysis by him, and the result of
his investigations are gwen in the appended GER

fire about l o'clock but the flames

of goods were stolen at the same
time.

The farmers are up with the
times in gathering crops and SOW
ing wheat. The average sown is
much larger than was expected, as
the wheat crop fell very short in
these parts last season. The far
mers are now guarding aud trying
to secure their stock from horse
thieves, isince there have been three
or or four stolen near Boons Hill
and a raid made not far from here
on the Elkton and Pulaski pike the
past week. Mr.. John Stegall sup
posed that was what their business
was as they got alarmed and fed
before he had chance at them.

Bradshaw Store Burned.

The store at Bradshaw was dis
covered in flames last Friday night
about l o'clock. When first seen
the fire had gained such Roadway
that it was impossible to save any
thing. Mr.. John Harwell had left
the store about IL O'Clock and does
not know anything that would sug-
gest the origin of the fire. Mr..
VIM. Tungett, who owned the stock
of goods, says he has no enemies
that he is aware Of and does not
think malice could have been the
motive If it had been the work Of an
incendiary. He says the stock was
worth about 50, 900 and was insured
for $1,000 with the Hartford ms.
Co. The house was the property of
Mr.. j. NJ. Neil. 1t was worth
ST. 900 and was uninsured.

Special Police Dodge.

Last Saturday an enterprising
citizen, whose name we withhold
out of consideration for the feelings
of his family, attempted to make a
raise" by an old dodge which he
learned to his sorrow had been
played once too often. Under pre-
tense of being a special policeman,
he arrested a man whom he had seen
taking a drink and charged him
with drunkenness. He then proposed
to release him for a small amount
of money, but friend Of the victim
interfered and spoiled the littleigame.
This enterprising especial police
man. made hasty preparation to
leave the city which he was
permitted to do pro bono pubIico, by
the judiciOus deliberat1on of officers
who put a correct estimate on the
value of his citizenship.

More Moonshine Whisky.

W. W. GordOn's distillery at
Lynnville, in Giles county, was seiz-
ed on the 18th inst, by Deputy
Collector Hughes, of the internal
revenue department Three barrels
of unstamped brandy were found in
an clubhouse. The distillery is
said to have a capacity of 100 gal
Ions per day. 1t has been running
since September-15, for WHICH peri
cd Gordon has reported for taxa
ton only 100 gallons. The offenders,
W. w. Gordon and his distiller,
Buttner, were arrested by Deputy
Marshal Spurrier, who was carried
along for that purpose. The dis
tillery, as elso that of Warren, in

Ed. Oraig,s Valuable Invention.

Mr.. Ed. B. Craig, for several
years assistant cashier at the PEG
pies Bank, has invented and yester-
day applied for copyright for book
he calls an individual Journal and
Balance" book. 1t involves an en-
tirely new process of bank book
keeping, or rather simplifes it so as
to do away with most of the labor
1t combines and does away
with two of the massive books
over which they are seen to pore
and labor sometimes late into the
night, bringing all the work that
has been spent on several books into
one, doing away with the immense
ten-column additions which consti-
tutes such a perplexing part of
book-keeper's work. Mr.Craig says
it shortens his Iabors two hours and
more a day, besides making it
lighter because he avoids opening
and working on so many books, and
then it is so simplified that an error
can be found more readily and the
balances are more easily adjusted.
By the process now in use, after
posting the days transactions, the
work Of balancing is a long and te-
dious labor, involving ten columns of
additions, but by Mr.. Craig's process
the balances are apparent on first
posting and only a few minutes ad-
ding completes the work. 1t is
hard to explain its advantages in
full. 1t is pronounced by all the
experts who have seen it to be a
complete revolution in book keep
ing and it will necessarily force its
way into use. We hope Mr.. Craig
will make fortune by il.

Horse Thieves Oantured.


The north bound accommoda-
tion train Monday morning brought
up two gentlemen from Aberdeen,
Miss, charged with stealing hors es
near the county line between Lin
coin and Marshall. They offered
the horses for sale at Aberdeen and
were arrested on suspicion. They
protested to be residents of Athens,
Ala, but acknowledged that they
did not know Bill Lewis and this
seems to have been accepted as
prinsa facia evidence of their guilt.
The horses were stolen at prayer
meeting and one of them belonged
to the preacher. The names Of the
prisoners are G. W. Land and Jno.
McCool. The latter very recently
received an honorable discharge
from the "pen'' for good behavior,
hard work and expiration Of term.
They were followed and captured
at Aberdeen, Mr.. J. B. Marshall
escorting them back by rail. he
had to stop here and put them in
jail because his money gave cut. At
Decatur be barely had money
enough to pay for the prisoners
breakfast and did without himself.
The prisoners were carried tc
Fayetteville yesterday. 1t is sale
one reason of the delay was the
fear of lynching.

day afternoon at 1870 o clock at the
residence of the brides mother, five
miles north of Pulaski, Rev. d. L.

affair, only relatives and a few
friends being present. The bride
and groom are both well known and
very popular, and we hear they re-
ceived number of elegant presents,
a list of which we failed to secure
in time for publication.
