AMERICA WOULD afford the best market
the manufacturers of Irish linens could pos.
sibly have for their products, were it not for
the high duty-forty per cent-the existing
tariff imposes upon those goods. What Ire.
land stands greatly ia need of, in order that
the condition of her people may be i'm
proved, is large increase in her manuiac
turing industries: but the high duty laid
upon the products of all such industries by
the tariff in America, which would other
wise be the best market for them, tends to
depress, if not to destroy utterly all such in
dustries

SOME NEWSPAPERS seem to think 1t ex'
traordiuarily strange that Gov. Hill, or any
other able and distinguished democrat,
should aspire to the Presidential nomina-
tiop, as President Cleveland, or the men be
has appointed to Office, desire mis- renomna'
ton. The democratic party is the majority
party of the country, and there is no state
in the Union in which, not one, but many
democrats can be found who would make
excellent democratic Presidents. The Pres
Idential office is the highest one within the
gift of the peoples and the ambition to obtain
it is honorable. Why then such ambition
should be denounced in the case referred to,
and those possessed of it be spoken OF as
schemers and disorgauizers, if not az actual
traitors, seems ridiculous to all who have
correct understanding of the true spirit oil
the institutions Of the country in which they
live.

House of Representatives yesterday on
the bill to give the employees In
the government printing Office fifteen
days additional furlough, Mr.. Galiinger
of New Hampshire, republican, luRged
in politics, and accused the public printer OF
removing republicans. He was entirely
squelched by the chairman of the printing
committee, who mildly expressed surprise
that the gentleman should have found fault
with the public printer for removing a few
republicans, when q majority of the people
had demanded the removal of all Of them,
and said, in addition, that i'll proportion to
the republicans and democrats in the print
ing Office, the percentage OF removals among
the latter had been greater.

Sunday evening was dark, rainy, disa-
agreeable one, but for all that there were
many joyous happy hearts in Monroe.
Temple Sinai was a blaze Of glory and a
bouquet Of roses and crysanthemums, and
appeared all the more beautiful in contrast
with the rain and darkness in the streets.
The occasion of the bright lights and the
beautiful flowers was the marriage of Mr..
j. S. Bloch and Miss Lena Kuhn, two of the
most popular of our young Israelitish
friends. Mr.. Bloch is prominent mer-
chant of this city and Miss Lena dauSh-
ter of Mr.. S. Kuhn, is a most charming and
fascinating young lady. The ceremony
was performed by Rey. DIR. Bien, of Weeks
burg, Miss, in a most impressive manner
and was witnessed by a large and fashion,
able ssetnblage of the friends of the con-
tracing parties. Following the ceremony
an elegant reception and banquet was given
at the residence of the brides father which
was attended by numerous select friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bloch were not only the recip-
tents of many pretty speeches of congratu-
lations and good wishes for their future
welfare and happiness, bat of many costly
and valuable presents.

A carload of thoroughbred Jersey cows

Wednesday evening, consignment for
different parties i'll this parish. Mr.. A. L.
Smith of the Island was the heaviest pur-
chaser and he informs us that he will
engage in raising blooded stock extern
sively. The Telegraph notes this progress.
sive move with pleasure and will watch the
developments with great interest. 1t is
just as cheap to raise blooded stock as
scrubs, when any attention is paid them at
all, and when fine COW is raised you haye
something in return tor your labor and
expense. We hope to see others follow the
example and in few years all the scrub
stock disapper from the parish. We have
as good n stock country as any, now that
overflows and buffalo gnats are a thing OF
the past, and we see 10 reason why that
those who undertake it should not make a
success of raising blooded stock.

A SENSATION.
\ Minister of the Gospel Arrested fol
Train RObber Bunch.

Rev. G. NJ. Verdell. of Elberton, Ga, was
arrested here last Wednesday night on the
east bound freight train while enroute from
Texas to his home in Georgia for the noto-
rious train robber, Capt Bunch. He took
passage on the train at Shreveport and
among other passengers there was a drum
mer who had read an account of the OK
press robbery on the Northeastern and =
description of the alleged robber. Capt.
Bunch. In the person Of Parson Vertlell
he discovered q real or imaginary resenl-
blance to Capt. Bunch and es the idea grew
upon him every movement of the reverend
gentleman became more suspicious. Mr..
Verdell rode in the cupols Of the oabooss
until dark and after dark, instead of sitting
in the compartment Of the caboose which
was lighted. he choose . dark corner. All
this looked mighty suspicious to the drum
nier and shat settled it." A. soon as tho
train reached Monroe the drummer i'm
parted these facts to Express Agent North
and that gentleman immediately sought
Capt Haynio of the police force and they
proceeded to make the arrest. Mr.. Verdell
was sitting in the caboose, perhaps rumi-
mating upon his next Sundays sermon,
when the rude hands Of the law were laid
upon him. Messrs. Haynie and North evil
IDENTIFY thought they had the right man,
had made an important capture and would
como in for large reward, for they imme-
diatelY slapped "bracelets" upon the lowly
follower of Christ and marched him off to
Jail where he was incarceratsd in q filthy
cell and compelled to remain all night.
Mr.. Verdell's papers and baggage were also
subjected to scrutinizing inspection.
Next morning the mistake was discovered
and Mr.. Verdell was released. To say
that he is not at all pleased with his
first visit and reception in Monroe, would
putting it mildly, and we learn that
proceedings will probably be institu-
ted for damages. Mr.. verdell has just
been attending conference of tho Method
ist church for Northwestern Texas OF which
he was q member and had been transferred
to the Georgia conference and was then on
his way to his new field Of labor. It was
most unfortunate case Of mistaken identity.
