ATTEMprED MuRDEB.-Mr. Juan Calafel
an old and much respected citizen and
storekeeper of the third justice ward of
this parish, whose residence and place of
business are located on the right bank Of
Bayou Lafourche about ~ miles below
Donaldsonville, was brutally assaulted
last night by two unknown negroes, who
struck the old gentleman over the head
with revolver and cut him in several
places with razor. Mr.. Calafel had arisen
and opened this store about A. NJ, for the
purpose of housing some freight just put
off at his landing by passing steamboat.
When he had finished this task and was on
the point of closing the store again, the
two colored men entered and asked for
something to eat. Mr.. Calafel supplied
them with some crackers and sausages and
turned around to procure pound OF sugar
one of the knaves had ordered when he was
assaulted and wounded by the miscreants in
the manner above indicated. His cries for
aid aroused persons sleeping on the premi-
SEES and in the vicinity, and his assailants
were compelled by fear of detection and
capture to run away without accomplishing
the robbery which was undoubtedly the
prime object of their visit. Mr.. Calafel's
wounds are very painful and severe, but are
not considered fatal. We hope to report
his early recovery and the arrest and pun
ishment of his bloodthirsty assailants.

 Mr. krIder WAS one of Gods noble men, a true friend. kind husband and a loving father, hIs demise Is regretted by all who knew him. He was ore of the most honest and conscientious men in the county and nothing galled him more than to know that he oEei 1 oill be was unable to pay. No more public spirited man ever lived than Mir. Krider, and with hIs death goes out all the public spirit that ever existed in the Park. In all celebrations he was the foremost and whenever q subscription was taken up for sick man his name always headed the list. His virtues were mTny and his vices few. His funeral took place a, five o'clock Tuesday evening. May his last sleep be hIs best and may his spirit pass on to the happy beyond where there is great joy and no sorrow.-Wsllspsi Tribune,

The Massage Craze.
From the brooklyn Union.

The town has a new craze IL IS mas sage treatment. If humanity has any weakoess It Is to constantly imagine something IS the matter with It. Mas sage is taken up as n cure for every III from a crick in the back to a bunlon- It is not so we'll suited for thin people as for fat people. because 1t reduces the flesh. There are massage doct-r rs with out end. They are strong men as rule, who rub and pound Ia patient as II ne were a piece of granite. O0e doeter whom know has 6 very large practice and IS growing rich at it. He will not take case except at figures which only the rich can pay. He lives at one of the best hotels in town and devotes hls evenings to plsying billiards. The flesh pounding craze has q been a good thlng for the Turkish baths. People used to die Tn them pretty often and they suffer ed by it. Now that there Is doctor in attendance at every bath Hnd the rubbing and shampooing and steam and hot ar treatments have been reduced to a science" the danger IS pretty thor oGghly removed. The number of baths has multiplied in year. They are wonderfully big paying things The charges in the best baths are S1. S1 9 or Sl.50, but competition promises tO level them all to S1, at which figure their incomes would be ample. The majority of the "rubbers" in the baths are sail ors. There is no explanation why they should naturally drift into baths except that they are "wet" places. Their health keeps good in the heat. In fact, most of them accumulate flesh. The pay Is good, ID the fir-t place, and in the sac- ond the bathers are liberal with tips when they receive good attention. A rubber wlll sometimes make as much as s in tips in a single day.
