It is not that a man is competent
or efficient for an official position in
these days, but the question is how
many votes can he control. Who did
he support for Governor, not in the
election that counts for naught, but
before the nomination was made. We
did hope to see this political strife
die out after the election, especially
as the friends of McEnery voted 90
nobly in the support of the Demo-
cratic ticket, but the hope seems to
be vain one, as the strife is kept up
by the supporters of Gov. Nichols.

CATAHOULA'S WILD GIRL.
Two Badly Frightened Citizens
Give . Description OF Her.

Trinity Hcrald.)
One day last week two strangers
passed through Trinity on foot, hav.
ing travelled from Alexandria. They
gave a thrilling account of q meeting
held with the wild girl of Catahoula,
near Hemp's Greek. They say she is
one of the most ferocious looking
beings that the human eye was ever
cast upon. At first they thought she
was not far from home, and only on
a jaunt through the woods. They
stopped to ask her q few questions,
but could not get nearer than fifty
feet. She is as feet as q deer, and
they gay that at one leap she cleared
a large root seven feet high. She
uses no language, only gibberish, and
is clothed with nothing but what
nature gave her.
Had these men been on horseback
they say it would have been almost
impossible to capture her. Her arms
are long, brawny and muscular. She
appears to be about sixteen years of
age, and has q kind of limp when
walking. They could not get near
enough to distinguish whether she
had deformed foot. She had an
old knife, which they saw was about
eight inches long, which she no doubt
uses dextrously. She is in height
about four feet six inches, and would
weigh about 125 or 40 pounds, with
no surplus flesh.
These gentlemen say that in that
neighborhood they gave the informa-
ton and no one seems to know any
thing about the girl. At one place
q man told them that few days ago
he saw young calf lying dead in the
woods about two miles from the near
est house, with pieces cut out of it,
and now thinks that the girl is the
one that killed it.
The men say they would not sleep
in the woods near where they saw
the girl for all that was in
the parish. They think she can con-
quer any three men in the neighbor-
hood. She has immense eyes, and
her hair hangs to her waist and is of
a beautiful brown. A great many
who have heretofore doubted the ex-
istence of this girl are now convinced
that it is the truth, the information
coming, as it did, from two men who
had never been in tho afish before.
A committee Of fifteen men with
provisions for two weeks will be or
ganized, and steps will be taken soon
to capture her. The country Is
aroused. Only few weeks ago she
was seen near the Swilley settlement
catching . goose.

Consul FoLsoh. at Liverpool. who
by the way is q cousin to Mrs. Cleve-
land, does not entertain a very exalted
opinion of English workingmen. Being
asked how they compared with Ameri-
can laborers, he said the other day
mo comparison can be made. Ameri-
can artisans work, but the English do
not. They ars nearly all gamblers and
drinkers, many of them drunkards.
They quit work on Friday evening, re-
main drunk en- Saturday and Sunday,
and on Monday sober up. On Tuesday
they start in to work, and by Wednes-
day they find themselves sober enough
to do good work. They go to the race
courses and bet their ''quids" and
"bobs," terms for a sovereign and so
many shillings. The other day the
races occurred in Liverpool. 1 saw
some 1900 workmen in the narrow
streets gazing at the bulletin boards,
and I venture to say 80 per cent. of
them had money wagered."

BRAZILIAN SLAVERY.

II eost the United States billions of
money, thousands Of lives, many years
of bitter discussion and other years Of
the bloodiest fighting the world has seen,
and it came near costing the very Union
itself, to abolish slavery. Brazil is just
winding up the emancipation business
in that empire. To-day ali her slaves
are practically free, though some of
them must continue with their former
masters until the seasons crops are
gathered, but they will receive pay for
their labor. When they note how
smoothly and easily the abolition has
been brought about in Brazil, some of
our own statesmen must conclude that
sheir wisdom was not Of the highest
order. They will never confess it, but
viii, in their own minds, know it all the
same. Brazil inaugurated an emanci-
patton system many years ago. 1t was
an equitaLls plan, and contemplated
the gradual liberation of all slaves with
ont bringing ruin upon the holders
or materially disturbing the labor
market and commercial affairs
of the empire. As in the
limited States, millions of dollars
ware invested ia slaves, the
capital of many rich men consisting
largely of human chat els. To free
