We hear a rumor of the intented for1na-
ton OF copartnership articles between E.
N. Pu9h, Esq, of Douaidsonville and Mr..
p. M. Lambremont Of st. James, a young
gentleman who has recently graduated in
law. Should this prove true we extend
hopes of success to the new firm. By the
death of Mr.. James Billion, Mr.. Pugh's bus
mess. in st. james parish suffered an injury
which can only be remedied by an associa-
ton with aperson of equal talents with our
deceased friend, and we believe that in Mr..
Lambremont are conferred all requirements.

Terrible Crimes in Texas.

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 26.-No clew has yet been
found to the mysterious tragedy of Christmas
eve. Mrs. Philips. one of the Victims was buried
to-day. Mrs. Hancock is unconscious, and is
slowly dying James Philips is also dying. His
wounds are worse than was at first supposed.
The community was orriied again toe day by
the discovery Of series of crimes even more
inhuman than the others. The remains of Claude
Eanes, little eight-year- old white child, were
found to- day in the back yard of his mother, in
the village of Clarksville, about two miles west
of Austin. Swine We're devouring the body. When
discovered, they had eaten all the flesh from
the bones. but the features were recognizable.
Last August Hugh Eanes the father, mysteri-
ously disappeared. About the time Of Eaness
disappearance Charles Courtney became a
boarder in the family, which comprised Mrs.
Eanes and two children The unnatural mother
tried to give the children away, pleading pow
erty. A couple of weeks ago she told
her neighbors that she had given Dolly, one
Of her children to party down the river. On
Monday last Mrs. Eanes visited a neghboring
family and asked the privilege of spending the
family in Lampasas, and Courtney being absent
she was afraid to sleep in the
house alone. The next morning the
woman departed for Austin, saying
she had received a telegram from Illinois asking
her to attend the funeral of a relative who had
just died there, leaving her legacy. Courtney
returned to-day, found the house deserted, and
discovered the body of Claude. which had been
buried foot deep and uprooted by the swine.
Intense excitement prevailed when the news
of the murder reached Austin. Courtney was
arrested on suspicion. Search is being made tor
Dolly who, it is certain, has also been mur-
dered. No one saw her leave the village. The
police tonight traced the woman to San An
tonic, and are looking for her.

Chinese Suggestions Not Wanted.

SAN Francisco, Dec Ex-Governor Stone
man to-day received dispatch from Secretary
Bayard, in which the writer states that his atten
ton has been called by the Chinese minister to
the movements in different cities in this State
for the expulsion of Chinese. The minister
suggests that it is preferable to prevent violence
than to repress it after it may have arisen. In
reply to Secretary Bayard, Governor Stoneman
telegraphed
"There has not been q single act Of violence
toward the Chinese in this State, nor do an
ticipate any trouble which cannot be controlled
by local authorities. There is deep-seated and
unanimous feeling this coast against further
immigration of Chinese"
In conclusion he. says: referring to the sug-
gestion of the Chinese minister to yourself as to
the proper method of preserving good order in
this State, may say we are capable of perform
ing that duty without gratuitous suggestions
from that quarter"
