4 Lazy Mans Ingenuity.

A Kingston man, who keeps q horse,
takes q ridc every morning before he
goes TO work. The only drawback is,
tho horse must be fed and watered before
the ride can he taken. Heretofore tho
man has been forced to get up at an early
hour, go to the barn some distance away,
70 care for the horse. Lately ho has ar
ranged bin and hopper, containing oats,
over the feedbox, which can be operated
by touch of door knob on the wall a
few inches from the head of his bed.
An arrangement is also made for let
ting on wafer in the pail. by which the
horse is watercd. When the man wakes
up in the morning, Mt that time when he
feels that second nap would be 4 great
blessing. ho pulls the knob, which turns
on the oats and water. and then quietly
lies back ON his pillow and goes to sleep.
Some would call this man lazy, but
others would say he was an ingenious in

TIE Courier of last week asks:


"When before, in the history of this
parish, or any. other civilized country,
were two manacled and helpless prisoE
ers in the custody Of a deputy sheriff
ridtllt-tl with bnllets-one killed and the
other desperately wnunded-Rnd nobody
hung for the deed 7"
Such question as that is too ridden
lous to be answered. 1t has happened
60 often in the United States, in this
State, and in this parish, as to make it
appear that the Conrier Is non compos
n.entis. As it and the Crowley Signal
seem now to be in the " bloody-shirt !"
business, they had better refresh their
memories by reading the Congressional
volumes entitled 1.-THE Kluklux Conspi-
racy." At any rate it is alleged that
several years ago, sixteen or eighteen
negros were taken out of the Opelousas
Jail, aud "riddled with bullets;" does
the Courier not know that one bright
Sunday a negro prisoner was taken out
of Jail here, Che surely was in the ''cus-
tody' Of the Sheriff,) and put to death,
s'and uoboby hung for the deed" How
m any cases does the Courier know of,
where men were killed by deputy Sher--
ifs, and no investigation made, or no.

Shirt wave; the division of the parish
has enhanced the negro vote, and this
may be the banner the colored brethren
will best rally around.

The BLOODY Shirt" in the South.

The "Bloody Shirt" has been trans.
ported South and the Crowley Signal
and Opelousas Courier are waving it
zealously. A few weeks ago the Signal
asserted that within the last four
months there has been more iawlessness
and crime in st. Landry than had been
in 80 many previous years." When ask
ed for the proof, it promised to give it
the following week, but instead of doing
80, it gave long rambling "bloody
shirt" article, and asked us to "point
out any period since 1874 up to April
1888, when prisoners, being at the time
tied together, were shot and stabbed to
death by drunken deputy sheriffs hav-
lug them ia charge ~ If We can not
point out case exactly similar, We can
point out several cases where deputy
sheriffs killed men, and no investigation
was had or no one punished, and their
commissions we're not revoked; while
in this case, the alleged deputy sheriffs
were arrested by Sheriff Fontenot lodged
in Jail without bail, indicted for murder
and convicted. The Signal further
wants to know when a woman twas
driven through fear from her home to
find couch upon which to give birth to
her offspring, among the weeds and
grass of a cornfield Z" OF course the Sig
nal means negro woman. Well, no
our case is not just like that, and the
time was in 1874 or little earlier. She
was white woman, and enceinte, and
shot aud killed by deputy sheritfs but
not by Fontenot's deputy sheriffs. and
theref ore there was no harm in it. Com
parisous are odious,n but We did not be-
gin them, and this parish and its officials
have done nothing to be 80 venomously
abused. Let the abuse be directed at
The law breakers themselves, and not at
hose who are doing their best to bring
Offenders to justice.
