scheme TO absorb the earth. The laws Of
Tennessee were enacted for purpose and
the Chancellor, in his opinion, states that
purpose very clearly. 1t is pleasant 10

S0Me Queeur Fish

Among the various abnormal
methods of incubation none are
more curious than the habit Of GER
tain fshe. of the cat fish family Of
keeping the eggs in the mouth until
the young are hatched, this act be-
ing generally performed by the
male. Quite recently N. Lortet
has added to the list the Chromis
paterfamilias, as observed 10 a
stream near the borders Of the Sea
OF Tiberas, and not far from the
ancient Capernanm. In this case
the female deposits her eggs in a
sandy depression in the bed of the
stream, and the male sucks them
into his mouth, and by some pccu-
liar action causes them to be in
terpolated between the plates of
the girls, where they are held with
out disturbance. The period of in
cubatiou is not mentioned, but the
young, when Matched, leaving the
giIls pass forward into tho cavity of
of the mouth, where they remain
closely packed, heads forward, the
checks Of the parent swelling cut
as the young increase in size, and
presenting a most singular ap-
pearance. A few of the young
sometimes remain between the
oranchial plates, but most Of them
pass forward as stated. Mr.. Lortet
did not ascertain at what period the
young left the mouth of the parent,
but presumed that they remained
there a considerable time. Whether,
after they once leave, they 're-cnter
for protection, is not stated. 1t is
very remarkable that the young are
not swallowed by the parent while
in their receptacle.

President Cleveland and ii
Union Veterano.

It would seen incredible, in view
Of the official statements on'the ques.
ton. that any attack should be made
on President Cleveland for the man.
ner in which Union veterans have
been treated by his administration.
The single fact that more special
pensions acts became laws since
March 4, 1885, than during any pre-.
vious administration, numbering
1869 FOR three years and a half Of
Democratic government, against
200l for twenty-lour years Of Repub-
ilican rule, should be sufficient to set
Mt rect the calumnies which have
,een heaped upon the president by
claim agents and pension sharks,
whose nefarious business has been
yparalyzed by the incorruptible, firm
and honorable administration of the
Pension Office by General Black. 1t
has also been shown, Gays the Albany
Argus, that of the 1911 special pen
sion acts vetoed by Mr.. Cleveland,
a large proportion we're objected to
because they gave the claimants less
than they we're entitled to under the
general law, on the ground of deser-
ton, because the cases were before
the regular Office, because they were
duplicates. or because Of the aban.
.donment Of sons by their fathers aud
the resumption Of claims in them
only when they became applicants
for pensions. In no instance of a
veto has the president failed to
furnish incontrovertible reasons for
his action.

Let Ne Guilty Man Escape.

W. are glad to note the fact that
Judge Lewis, 10 opening the present
term of the district court, charged
the,grand jury specially upon mob
law and the late atrocities committed
i'm certain sections OF our parish. Ia
voicing the general sentiment of the
people upon these recent outrages,
we in oar turn say TO the officers of
the court that they are now looked,
to to see that no guilty man escapes.
The shooting of the two hand.cufed
prisoners in the custody of an officer,
the killing of a man at Arnaudville,
and two Others in Vile Platte prai.
RE in the night, the shooting into
the house Of the man Auguste, have
caused a feeling of ~uneasiness and
unsatety among both the white and
colored people throughout the par
ish. Only a few disorderly people
are connected with these outrages,
aud the mass of the people OF St.
Landry want to see quiet and good
order restored in their borders. They
look to the courts of the country
and to the officers of the law to
bring these offenders 10 justice and
to assure protection to all classes Of
o. citizens. If the strong hand Of
til law is not promptly interposed
to punish these crimes, it may be
rease aably expected that eimila,
ones will be committed in the future
