Editor Lake Charles Echo:
Please do not consider it an act of
intrusion that ! ask of you a little
space-just little-which wish to
utilize for special inquiry.
In the address of Mr. Punches,
which l hope all read with interest,
as it was certainly good move, ! no.
ticed certain features of construction,
also an idea, which are not clearly
adapted to the comprehension of my
mind therefore, presuming liberty by
the speaker is granted, and denoted
by the publication of his address, in
terrogate accordingly : In one place
yon say TO Your students that lyon
must think for yourself" In this
sentence, with what does the pronoun
yourself agree, provided it agree at
all In the other place, you say
"your MIND" and again "your minds"
Why were the singular and plural
both used -? You also guarded your
students against destroying the life
and happiness Of the soul" Did you
really mean 10 say, destroy the life
of the soul?" If so, what are your
ideas regarding the future and eternal
existence of immortality
Remember that all this is done
through an honest spirit of inquiry,
and explain accordingly.
With many respects, AYTcH.

The Northwestern LHmbernlan, in
speaking Of the present stagnated con-
dition of the Southern lumber market,
very appropriately remarks "Chi-
cago needs Southern lumber, and the
Southern lumber industry is languish-
ing for lack of a market. The whole
question of helping each is one of
transportation. Here is chance for
the Congressman from the lumber pro-
dncing districts Of all the States along
the Mississippi and south of the Ohio
to benefit their constituents, aud Sc
cure the hearty good will of Iowa and
Illinois by joining in an effort opush
through Congress the proposed Hen
nepin canal scheme. Given all-water
transportation from New Orleans to
Chicago and in ten years the latter
city will handle annually hundreds Of
millions Of feet of Southern lumber
and timber"

Judge A. ]. KearHey, District Attor-
ney, showed us a letter last Thursday
evening which he had inst received
from Sheriff Miller, Of Cameron parish,
dated the goth inst, Announcing the
assassination Of Justice Of the Peace
Cicero Stephens, an estimable citizen
of the Johnson's Bayou neighborhoOd,
last Saturday night, by some unknown
person. The particulars of this bloody
deed are given about as follows, in
Sheriff Miller's letter:
Justice Stephens was returning from
The Johnson's Bsyou Debating Society
about 10 or IL O'Clock last Saturday
night, and was assassinated about 400
yards from his home, where the body
was found the next morning with nine
buckshot in the breast and neck. 1t
seems the deceased and Mr.. Abbey
PevotO rode together a part of the
way, separating near their respective
homes. Pevoto says he heard the re-
port of gun but a short time after he
separated with the deceased, but did
not think much of it as there is CON
siderable hunting going on in the
Justice Smith repaired to the scene
of the bloody deed, on the following
day after its occurrence and sum
moned a jury and held an inquest on
the body The verdict of the jury |
was "Died from q shot from some
unknown party"
No suspicion so far has been at
taehed to any particular person, and
all seems to be a dark mystery.

Ex-Goy. JOSHUA BAKER died at the
residence Of his daughter, in Lynne,
Conn, on the 18th inst, which was
no surprise TO his many friends in
Louisiana, considering his advanced
age. The City Item, in speaking Of
the death of this great and good man,
gives the following brief biographical
sketch of his life: "Mr. Baker was
born at Maysville, KY, in 1899; yet
most Of his life was spent in Louisiana,
where he was prominently connected
with our State interests and industries.
His life was one of unusual activity,
and be was before the war one Of our
most methodical and successful sugar
planters. In 1857 he was appointed
military governor of the State by Gen.
Hancock, and in all the relations of
life he proved himself a true, gen
erous, worthy man. His daughter,
Mrs, Van Bergen, at whose residence
he died, is his only surviving child.
Judge Baker, of the bench of this
city, is bis grandson"

liz speaking of the threatened war
between England and Russia, the N.
Q. Picdyune of recent date advances
the following views as to its effect on
our commerce: "Therc are lines of
industry which would obviously be
undnly stimulated with us. such as
the manufacture Of arms and muni-
tons of war, and there are others that
would be depressed. While we of the
South would quickly feel general
revival, orr leading agricultural sta
pie, cotton, would be impaired some
in value. This our people have the
opportunity TO counteract by reducing
the area planted and devoting more
attention to breadstuffs and plantation
supplies"
