JAIL DELIvERY.-On Friday night,
while Ar. Arledge, the.dopuly sheriff and
assistant lailor, was eating supper, he was
informed by negro man that Peter
Smith, one of the prisoners now in Jail,
desired to see hun. After eating supper
he anu sheriff Sewers, went to the Jail,
and was informed by the prisoner that he
was little lonesome that when he and
the deputy returned that evening. after
going for water, he found that his part
ner in jail, Tom Singleton, was gone,
and upon looking around in the Jail
found that such was the case, much to
their surprise. Singleton was accused of
being the principal in the numbering of
Wiley Wilson, on the oath OF last June,
near Gansville.
Mr.. Arledge says in regard to the mat
ter, that Immediately after placing Sim
gieton in jail, he took the prisoner Smith
ont to get q bucket of water, from the
well at Brian's store, and as was his usn-l
al custom, locked the inner door and
hung the key on the pickets surrounding
the door on the outside, and after return
ing with the prisoner and the WATER
found the key hanging where he left it,

Picnic At Gansrille.

1t was the editors happy privilege. on
Friday last, to attend picnic dinner at
the thriving little village of Gansville, in
ward 4, of this parish. The pic mic MAS
given at that place, and was a success.
DIR. D. II. Caldwall, and o. u. Gresham,
were the speakers present, and they in
every way did justice to the subjects up
on which they spoke. Miss Fannie Me-
Donald also read an able essay on the
importance Of improving time. which elIc-
tied considerable applause. Miss Fannie
is quite young in years, but has already
achieved quite reputation rs a young
lady of literary attachments. After the
speaking, dinner was prepared by the
ladies ON the ground, a large and conf
modious table forming square, was
loaded down from end to end, with deli
cate viands of every description, together
with bountiful supply of mutton, beef,
pork. ETC., in fact everything to Salty the
voracity OF the country editor. This ed
itor felt like it was good for him to be
there, long before the exercises were en-
ded. After all the white people had par
taken to their satisfaction, we noticed
that great many colored people assem-
bled ut the table, and there seemed to be
plenty for all. This occasion will long
be remembered, and when we hear of a
picnic at Gansyille, we're going there
again. After the dinner, the meeting
was converted into railroad meeting.
and the editor explained to the audience
of about $50 or 200 people, the PROPOSE
ton of the La. North and South railroad
company. Giving in detail the many
reasons, why he favored the acceptance
of the proposition. The people were at
tentive, and orderly throughout the en-
tire day. There was some opposition to
the railroad propositions while some fla
vored it, and we think some who were not
decided, and were willing to hear the
question and then reflect upon it. The
day was pleasantly spent, and our thanks
are due to many kind friends there, for
courtesies shown us.

How Printer Made the Best of a Very

How Printer Made the Best of a Very Disagreeable Situation.
 Bud Dillon, Nashville printer, in company with typographical compan- ion, once walked from Nashville to Memphis. The only remarkable feature of this incident is that Dillon is known as the laziest man in Tennessee. One evening, while the two printers, hungry and tired, were walking along the rail road, eagerly watching for the court house dome of Milan, Dillon, upon meeting a man, asked:
 ''How far is it to Milan ?''''' --,-'
 Three miles"
 ''Thank you"
 After walking some distance farther they met another man.
 "How far is it to Milan?''
 'Three miles,"
 They had gone above a mile when they met another man.
 ''How far is it to Milan?"
 ''Three miles,
 Dillon began to get warm. The sci ence of profanity is one of the learned branches in which he was thorouohly proficient, and seating himself on a cross-tie he swore with great energy and volume. Arising, he wiped the perspira- tion from his brow and said:
 '.l can stand a great deal and am willing to excuse an ordinary liar, but when man seeks to impose upon my bow-legs, it mortally ofends me. I haven't had fight since Twas a boy, but if the next fellow we meet don't shorten the distance to Milan, he'll have me to whip, that's all. y
 They had gone probably half mil e farther when they saw man approach ing. Dillon took off his coat. handed it to his companion and began to roll up his sleeves. Tom, Pm in for it,' said he

 ''Kain't do it. :"
 "Well, then, I'll have to fight you.' ''Ail right, you're the man I've been lookin' fur"
 Dillon approached the man, who, seizing him, threw him on the ground with force that took his breath.
 "Hold on," cried Dillon, as soon as he was able to speak. How far did you say it is to Milan?'
 ''Three miles. ''
 ''Oh, well, then, that's all right l thought you said five miles. Much obliged for courtesies so gracefully ex- ended. Good evening. ."-ArkausasU TraUeLer.

KING KAlAKAUA.

Astonishing PrOfiigacy of the Sovereign
 of the Sandwich Islands.
 David Kalakaua has now been on the throne of the Hawaiian kingdom for twelve years Previous to his elevation to the throne he was boatman in the harbor of Honolulu, and used to pick up some money at night by playing the banjo in one of the waterfront dives. He is superbly-built native, but like most of the Kanakas, he has no regard for principle, is profoundly selfish and hopelessly given up to gross vices. He had strain of the old Kamehameha blood in his veins, however, and when, in 1874, an election was held under the face of what is called a constitutional monarchy, Kalakaua was picked up out of the gutter and was run by the strong American party in opposition to Queen Emma, who showed great partiality for England. Kalakaua's friends were the petter politicians and they were success Aql. For two or three years the change

did him good and he behaved we'll, liv-

did him good and he behaved we'll, liv-
 ing economically and taking a warm in-
 terest in the welfare of his people.
 With proper advisers Kalakaua might
 have remained a model monarch, but he
 suffered from the influence of evil coun-
 selors-adventurers who took office un-
 der him merely to further their private
 ends and who suggested many ways in
 which he could legally divert the public
 funds into his own pocket One of his
 early attempts was to seize the
 fees which reverted to the crown for
 certain duties performed by officers of
 the Interior Department. He was
 greatly incensed when the honest head
 of this department refused to deliver up
 these fees, and declared that they were
 public moneys. The King has been
 literally provided for, as we'll as most
 of his family, yet he is always in straits
 for cash. He is given $50,000 every
 two years for the private purse, $20,000 a year for palace expenses, S16.000 for the Queen, and a like sum for Mrs. John Dominis. the Kings sister and the wife of the Governor of Oahu Maui; the Governor himself receiving S7,200. Another sister of the King Mrs. Archie Cleghorn, receives S12,000; and her daughter S5,000. In addition to these generous allowances-fori it must be re- membered that the annual expenses of a native are not more than $50, as he
 lives mainly on poi and raw fish-the King was allowed S1S,0 by the Legis- lature for the palace stables This sum hQ ncnH fn hr1I +o cto rr-h aI he stocked with horses and ten hacks, which he hired outto be run in opposi- tion to the regular carriage companies. in Honolulu. Besides all these sources of revenue the King receives yearly rental of not less than S100,0 ,000 from the crown lands, which comprise some of the best sugar estates on the islands The opposition party in the Legislature have tried for several years to compel the King to disclose the exact sum which he receives from these crown lands, but without success.
 With all this money Kalakaua is per ennially in debt. When he took the famous trip around the world he brought in bill for S22, 800, which was paid with some grumbling by the Legisla- ture. When the coronation was pro- jected an allowance of Sl0,OOO was made, with the provision that, if this sum was exceeded, it should come out | of the Kings privy purse. The lavish ceremonies cost S40,000, and the sum had to be paid, as the privy purse was empty and the King himself so deeply in debt that for the credit of the Kingdom the Legislature voted him S20,OOO | to satisfy the most pressing of his creditors. What becomes of the large sums received by Kalakaua IS mystery which no one has yet solved. He has no more idea of the value of money than had Ludwig of Bavaria. He has few tastes, butahc has one strong passion which, freely indulged, drains 1im of all his coin. This Is gambling. The Hawaiians are as fond of all games of chance as the North American h. lian, and the King is said to be no mean land at our great National game of poker. H0?aOL1LLx Letter.
