The Backarow Case.

Under the heading of advertisement"
the following appears in the Shreveport
Times of the 23d:
The following article appeared in the
Louisville Courier-JoarnGl of the 18th ~
'TO reporter of the CoMier-Jonrnal
Mr.. Backarow said yesterday: Public
sentiment in Shreveport has had ii reac-
ton, and those who were once so bitter
against my son are now on his side. The
farce, and although facts were brought
out at it clearly eXculpating my son,
Judge Hicks, with unprecedented bigOtry,
his power to send Richard to the peniten-
tiary. We took an appeal to the Supreme
Court at New Orleans, and the case will
be argued next Saturday. There is not
the least doubt i'll my mind that the
Judges decision will he reversed and
Richard freed. Judge Hicks is moving
heaven and earth to have his decision at
irmed, but he is working in vain. We
are perfectly confident that no court would
sustain such AL unwise action. The wo-
man in the case never preferred any char
ges against Richard, and we were never
able to learn who was responsible for his
arrest. 1t was conspiracy of some char
acter. The woman proved such good
witness for us that the defense rested af
ter her evidence was given. Richard is
prisoner only in name, as he is OH parole. !"
Section 8O5 of the Revised Statutes, I'M
der which Backarow was tried and con-
victed, read as follows: "Whoever shall
forcibly seize and carry out of this State,
or from one pert of this State to another,
ETC., on conviction shall be imprisoned at
hard labor, Or otherwise, for peeiod not
exceeding five years at the discretion Of
the court"
The following are the concluding words
of the trial judge in passing sentence up
Oh Richard Backarow: Cup to this time
the court could have nothing to say, but
now it can l think there is some good in
you. l do not think man with as good
looking old father as you have can be a
very bad man, and think you have suf-
fered enough. l will give you three
months in the Parish Jail"
The public can judge whether OF not
(by what sentence was imposed, and what
was in the power of the Judge to impose
Mr.. NJ. Backarow has wilfully and mali

FRANK LEsLIE's POPULAR MONTHLY
The prolonged Winter made ice-yachting
possible even into what is generally re-
garded as Spring, so that the attractions
and perils of this peculiar amusement are
still fresh in the mind. Mr.. Stephens, in
the April number of Frank Leslie's POpu-
lar Monthly gives the history of these ves-
sells, their present. popular forms, and des-
cribes yividly the exhilarating sensations
of spin over the CLASSY ice in one of these
fleet vehicles. Mr.. F. B. Mayer takes us
from the ice and its pleasures to the balm

Cure for Piles.

PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms of indi
gestion are present, flatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing very
disagreeahle itching, after getting
warm, is common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles, yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosan-
quo's Pile Remedy, which acts direct
ly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tumors, allaying the intense itcll-
ing, and effecting a permanent cure.
Price so cents. Address The DR.. Be-
sanko Medicine Co., Piqua, 0. Sold

PUNCTUALITY.
Amongst the elements which succeed in
life, there is one of great value, it ispunc-
tuality. To be pnnctual in all our APP
pointments is duty, and when we fail to
meet an engagement promptly, we are
guilty of breach Of promise. Success and
happiness depend in higher degree on
punctuality than many suppose. We
should not only do the right thing in the
right way, but we should also do it at the
right time, if we wish to get reward
4 person who will carelessly break an APP
pOintment will not be trusted with mat
ters of Importance. If the work of one
hour be postponed to another, it will Ell
Their take up the time of another duty, or
else it will be left undone. If in youth it
is not easy to be punctual, when we grow
up it is impossible to be so. You have no
right to waste your own time, much less
that of another, by your lack of punctual-
ity. How many times are we put to
great trouble because we neglected, or
put off, some important duty. A pune
tual person is one who always up to his
engagements, and is prompt iu fulfilling
his duty.
