Grand Jury Report.


End Judicial District Court. holding Sessions
in and for the Parish of Bossier, La.
We, the Grand Jury for Bossier
Parish, empanelled by your Honor
for this, the August term District
Court, to diligently enquire into all
matters coming before US, and true
returns make of the same, beg leave
to make the following report to
your Honor:
After being ably charged by your
Honor as to our duties, we repaired
to our room, took mp such business
as came before US, and after giving
all matters due consideration, dis
posed of the same as rapidly as pos
sible.
We have considered 80 charges,
and giving each case as thorough
examination as we could, with facts
presented to us, we have found 40
trne bills, ignored AZ, and passed 6
cases because material witnesses
could not be had, and left one bill
of Information in the hands of Dis
trict Attorney.
We have endeavored, in every
instance, to give a full and fair in
vestIgation as we could, with such
evidence as came before us, and
found true bills in only such cases
as we believed would be sustained
by the State before your Honorable
| Court.
We feel justified in saying crime
is considerably on the increase III
our parish-more especially the per
nicious crime of carrying concealed
weapons-and we think if your
Honor, in every case in which there
is a conviction, will fine them to the
full extent of the law, it will materi-
ally lessen this perniciout crime.
The parish would be saved quite
an expense, and business greatly
expedited, if the various Justices
of the Peace would do their official
duty by keeping records of the Grim
inal cases tried before them, and
sending the papers in all such cases
to the Clerk of the Court, so that
they can be placed before the Grand
Jury the first day of Court, to en-
able them to summon all the wit.
nesses at once. Aud especially
would we call attention to the JUS
tice Court of Ward 2. We find, af.
ter careful examination Of the cases
reported by the Justice Peace from
said ward, that many of the charges
did not constitute crime, and
many others were so trivial that
they demanded no notice from the
Court.
And we further find that the Jus
tice and Constable from said ward
are drawing exorbitant pay from
the Parish Treasury for said trivial
charges, and unnecessary trials
Hence, we Call your especial atten
ton to the Justice Court of ward 2
AS to the Court House, we find it
in about the same condition as here
tofore.
Upon examination of the books
and offices of the various parish
officials, We find them kept in bust
ness like manner, and a satisfactory
condition.
Tue prisoners claim that they art
well cared for, and we are satisfied
they are.
We find our public roads in not al
favorable condition as they shoult
be, and call attention of our Polic'
Jurors and recommend that the,

Among the Presbyterians the honors
should be given to DR.. Paxton, whose sol
dlerly bearing makes his figure noticeable
though he is not above medium height. He
has good face of the English type, rather
forid, but not unpleasantly so. He wears a
handsome white moustache.
Taking all these men together-and there
is not one Of them who would not be no
ticed in crowd-and one may make a gen
eral statement that will apply to them all:
they are good dressers" There is not one
of them who is careless of his clothing. Mr..
Rainsford comes the nearest to it, and he
never offends There is not one of them
who wears conspicuous attire. They all
dress tremendously from their hats to their
shoes. Their garments are neat, they are
appropriate, they suit the men. 1t is right
that this should be so. 1t is every man and
every wonan's sacred duty to society to
look as well as nature and circumstances
permit. 1t is particularly the duty of a
handsome man whose position makes him
in a sense leader to lose nothing of that in
1uence which Providence intended him to
WELD when it bestowed upon him the price
less gift of personal beauty.

Nine people out of ten who recalled tina t
fact about Roscoe Conkling when he was
living at the point of death, and who felt
almost acquainted with him because they
had been made so familiar with his per

trait and caricature-nine out Of ten of
these could not have given even the princi-

statesman. In the minds of many men

For another type take Father Murphy, of

ideal handsome priest, with large, full figure
and genial face. He has baby blue eyes,
as clear as summer sky, and they light up
when he smiles, which is very often. HIS
face is an admirable expression of the

The Rev. William Rainsford, of St

a powerful and attractive man.

HER UNION WITH PRINCE HENRY TO BE
FASTENED BECAUSE OF THE EMPEROR
FREDERICK'S DANGEROUS ILLNESS.
1t is reported that preparations for the
marriage of Prince Henry and the Princess
Irene of Hesse are being hurried. The pur-
pose of this expedition is, doubtless, owing
to the danger of the early death of the
Princes father, the Emperor Frederick.
Prince Henry was born Aug Ia, 1862, and
is consequently in bis Goth year. He is, as
already stated a son of the Emperor Fred
erick Ill and is his third child. There is no
probability that he will ever tako a con-
spicuous part in affairs of state, his eldest
brother, the Crown Prince who will soon,
to all appearance, assume the Imperial dig
nifty, having three sons in proper order to
succeed him il preference to their Uncle
Henry. And time will bring heirs to them,
making still more remote the probability
that the gentle Prince Henry will ever wear
the purple.
His bride-elect, the Princess Irene, is the
third daughter of Louis ". reigning Grand
Duke of Hesse, who was made Il widower
Dec. IA, 1873, by the death of his wife. the
Princess Alice, second daughter of Queen
Victoria, of Great Britain and Ireland. If
Irene has Inherited the amiable character
isticS of her Christian mother, her princely
mate will have in her companionship a
