our souls desert our bodies they wander

newborn body to which they take a fancy

will probably require time, or eternity, to
determine. For us, certainly, the mystery
remains unsolved after perusal OF "The

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

Tremendous Strides in the Indus
tries Of the South-Some Figures.
The Baltimore Manufacturers Record, in
its quarterly review of the South's industrial
growth, says that "even the West, in days OF
its greatest progress, probably never saw
such tremendous strides of progress as some
portions of the South are now making" The
centre of interest for some time has been in
the iron and steel industries AMI in these the
nctivity has been wonderful, though IN other
lines of diversified manufactures there Is
also remarkable progress.
During the last nine months there have
been organized in the South ~ lre factories,

VICTIMS OF A FLOOD.

Bayou, La.

Details of the Disaster at Johnson's
Bayou, La.
The village of Johnson's Bayou, La which
was swept away by the recent storm. is a
high ridge on tie seacoast, and the bayou
from which it takes its name runs through
the iuhabitable parts Of that section of the
settlement in which is also situated the Post
Office station known as Radford. They
are in Cameron Parish, on the
Louisiana shore, six miles east of Sabine
Pass. Tho bayou is nineteen miles in length
and varies from one to four IN les in width.
Ridges face the Gulf twelve feet above the
sea level. and in the rear is dense and inl-
penetrable marsh. The population before
the storm numbered 1,&OJ souls; to-day
at least eighty-five Of that number are
counted with the dead.
Cotton and sugar are the chief products OF
the ridges, which are composed of the richest
aud most fertile grazing country, and the
parish had 5000 head Of cattle aud horses,
owned by thriving community. Com.
municatiOn with the outer world was
through two steam vessels, both owned
in Johnsons Bayou and 1ladford.
waters of the bayou. Thus is pictured John
sons's Bayou, or rather the series Of ridges
over which was scattered the 1,200 popula-
tion OIL the morning Of the storm. At
o'clock that afternoon/ the storm set
in and everybody took to their homes
and waited with lated breath tho fate
which they foresaw was doomed to bc theirs
The waters, rising with the wind, swept
through the lower stories of the buildings.
and upon the roofs By 10 o'clock
the first ridge, twelve feet above
soa level, was t.n feat uuder

was swept away, either burying the doomed
people in the debris or ilurling them into the
Kissing water. The cotton and the stores next

Then began q search for the dead, and those
whose bodies 10y pinioned by the ruins OF

of the marshes more corpses were taken
and likewise buried. The people, save a
few who have large stock interest
say they have abandoned the place for

ruined them, and then they turned to cotton
and sugar and stock, only to meet the fate
of their forefathers. Of the 5000 heal of

PIRATES FROM CANADA.
Gangs Of Lawless Men Pillage
Burning Town in Maine.

Gangs Of Lawless Men Pillage q,
Burning Town in Maine. -
During the recent fierce fire which nearly
destroyed the business part OF Eastport, Mes:
gangs Of lawless characters from the islands
on the Canadian side of the Passanaquoddy,;
who have for years been smuggling goods
into Maine, deserted their regular business,
and set sail in their boats for the doomed
town. Anchoring off the wharves ont Of
the reach of the flames they took their dories1
and rowed ashore. Then began series OF
raids on the stricken people that was q dis !.
grace to humanity. Bodily they entered the.
town, broke open the stores and storehouseS,
selecting the most valuable merchandise,
and after loading their small boats, rowed
out over the choppy waters OF the bay only
to return as quickly as possible to renew
their depredations.
This continued through the second day OF
the fire. The thieves emboldened by their
success Of the night before, became more bold.
and disputed. in many cases, with the owners
of the goods for their possession. The Police
Department and the Fire Department were
powerless, and at last the citizens.
their losses and fierce struggle to save their
homes and property from the flames, turned
on the invaders who were pillaginy their
town and fought them iercely. The human
tigers would not be driven from their prey
without struggle, and continued their me-.
farious business into the second day.
At this time the United States cutter Gem
eral Woodbury., well.armed vessel, arrived
and the Captain, understanding the charac-.
ter of tho men across the line, and observing:
the multitude of boats, quickly took in the
situation. In the twinkling of an eye he had
his boats ont and manned, and shut of
all communication with the shore. Then
he ordered all the English craft to
leave the harbor. While they might
fight the weary people of Eastport,
thew had a wholesome respect for the
froRning guns of the Woodbury., and coon
the bay was white with the sails of the:
thieves as they sliled across the line. They
