HE is CAUGHT.
HENRY RAY, AN ABSCOEDING NEW
ORLEANS CLERK IN THE HANDS OF
THE LAW OFFICERS.

On Saturday last Sheriff Stafford
received a telegram from Col. Thomas
N. Boylan, of New Orleans, to arrest
one Ray, white man, charged with
grand larceny. The sheriff and mis-
deputy met the train that evening, and
had no trouble in spotting and arrest
ing their man. Ray was partly dis
guised, wearing slouch cap and an
old pair of breeches. Otherwise his
description was the same telegraphed
here by Capt. Boylan. Sheriff Stafford
arrested Ray and placed him in Jail.
Ray turned over Sv2 to Sheriff Stat
ford as soon as he went in Jail, two
dollars of which was returned. The
next morning Sheriff Stafford called on
Ray in his cell, and after some talk
between the two, Ray gave the Sheriff
s735 more, making in all what he had
given up s7S5 iu cash.
The next important move in this
matter happened on Sunday evening,
viz /: the arrival here of the Texas
and Pacific train on which arrived Mr..
Sheppard, Rays employer, from whom
the money was stolen in New Orleans,
as also Superintendent Tracey, of Far
rell & Boylan's detective agency, from
the same city.
These two were3 3met al: the train by
Sheriff Stafford, and were at once es.
corted to the Jail, and when taken be-
fore Ray Immediately recognized and
identified him. Ray then acknowl-
edged his guilt, and made a statement
halfway explanatory of his conduct.
From Mr.. Sheppard We learn that
the amount stolen by Ray was SSH
all of which with the exception of S26
was turned over by Ray. This small
amount Ray spent in the purchase of a
railroad ticket to Shreveport, whiskey
and old clothes which he bought FROM
some negroes on the way.
MessTs. Sheppard and Tracey went
to New Orleans on the T. and P. on
Monday, taking Ray with them. Ray
will be prosecuted to the fullest extent
of the law.

Concerning the above the Sundays
Times Democrat has the following:
"In reference to the above dispatch
Superintendent Tracey, of Farrell &
Boylan's Police, was seen last night
by Times Democrat reporter, and in
reply to an inquiry on the subject,
made the following statement:
Henry Ray, who was a trusted en-
ploye in prominent local mercantile
house, was entrusted with the firms
money, which he usually kept in a
drawer of certain desk in the Office.
On Friday morning $500 was
placed therein,!,and Ray possessing
himself of $1,000 of this amount left
the store. He had placed the remain
ing $500 in a manner that would lead
his employer to believe that the
amount was still intact and conse-
quently,,th theft was not discovered
for some time.
Ray, after leaving the store, coolly
proceeded to his boarding house, in
the rear of the Poydras Market, and
arranged his clothes in the most neat
and compact order, tagging them :
"To be left until called for"
He then took the Canal street ferry
for Algiers, and arriving there walked
along the track as sas as Weaver,
where lie took the train FIR SLreve,
port, with the intention of furtheriug
his trip to California. l.
Meanwhile bis employers, growing
anxious for Rays return, began tc
grow suspicious, and on searching the
drawer discovered that the money was
missing.
They Immediately notified Col
Thos. Boylan of their loss, and he
telegraphed description of Ray to
numerous railroad stations,..ss the
above result.
Ray will he broughl back to the
city to-day. Mr.. Tracy declined to
give the name of the firm from whom
the money was stolen.
And the following from the same
paper of Monday: As soon as Henry
Rays defalcation was discovered, Mr..
Shepherd, of the firm of Argo & Shep-
herd, book makers at the race track,
and also said to be interested 10 the
gambling house of Bush & Johnson,
No. 80 St. Charles street, called at
the Central Police Station and made
an affidavit against Henry Ray, char.
ging him with the embezzlement of
$1,000. A warrant was issued for the
accused, and at the same time it be-
came known that Ray had fled to
Alexandra, La. A telegram was
sent to Sheriff Stafford, of Rapides
darisb, to effect his capture which was
accomplished.
Ray held the position Of "case-
keeper" in the establishment of Bush,
Shepherd and others, and while in
charge of what is known as the "bauk
rolI," which at that time aggregated
$500, pnrloined $1,000, and visiting
bis room safely secured the money aud
his effects and fed TO Alexandra.

THE judicial district, composed of
the parishes of Piaquemines aud St.
Bernard, has a record for peace and
order that, we venture to assert, can,
not be beaten in the United States.
There has not been a homicide in the
district this year, 1888. But one man
has been sent to the penitentiary dur
ing the year, and he was convicted of
stealing a horse six years ago. There
are but three persons in the parish Jail,
and they are tramps from Illinois.

Green Christmas.

And now every utterer Of an old
saw comes forward with the renew
ed assurance that 'green Christ
mas makes a fat graveyard" or
words to that effect. The theory of
the proverb is that mild weather
in the late autumn and during the
winter is followed as a rule of ma
ture, by more than the average per
centages Of deaths the solIOwlng
spring. This record IN vital statiS-
ties doubtless exists. Deaths are
more numerous ia the spring months
following mild winter than in a
spring following a winter Of ordi-
nary severity. But the old women
who make proverbs and repeat them
with endless iteration, have not
reached the cause Of this state Of
things. Proverbs, as rule, are I'M
true, or are based on false grounds.
Scientists who study vital Stats
tics for the philosophy that they
contain have given a sound and
very Ineligible explanation Of the
fact that deaths are more numerous
in springs that follow open winters
than IN those that follow hard win
tiers. 1t is not fact that mild win
ter weather is productive Of fatal
diseases, but the reverse. lnyallds
reduced to state Of great prostra-
ton, people of low vitality, the aged
whose currents Of life grow chilled,
the young and feeble, and all doom
ed to death from sickdess, are sensi-
tive to the cold Of hard winter,
and it tends to shorten life that Is
held by an uncertain or limited ten
ure and the fountains Of which are
near exhaustion. Such cases Of dis
ease or decrepItudc are terminated
by death at an earlier period when
extreme frigidity congeals the air,
when Billiards roar around the
homes of sick aud well alike, and
thermometer shows the extreme

as I lowered they changed continually to
the eye; what was flame became ~blacknsss,
what was blackness became flame. Here
was The flash Of crystal, and there the
blaze of gems shone even through the glory
that rolls around the city which is in the
Place Of Death. There were trees, and
their voice as they rustled was the voice of
music; there was air, and as it blew its
breath was the sobbing notes of song.
Shapes, changing, mysterious, wonderful,
rushed up to meet me and bore me down
till / seemed to stand upon another earth.
"Vho comes?n cried a great voice.
'Harmaciris,'' answered the Shapes that
changed continually. 'Harmachis, who
look upon the face of Her, that Was. and
Is, and Shall Be. Harmachis, Child of
Earth!"
Throw back the Gates and open wide the
Doorsr" pealed the awful voice. Throw
back the Gates and open wide the Doors.
Seal up his lips in silence, lest his voice jar
upon the harmonies of heaven; take away
his sight, lest he see hat which may not be
seen, and let Harmachis, who hath been
summoned, pass down the path that leads
to the place of the Exchanging. Pass on,
Child of Earth; but, before thou goest, look
up that thou mayest learn how far thou art
removed from earth"
I looked up. Beyond the glory that
shone about the city was black night, and
high on its bosom twinkled one tiny star.
''Behold the world that thou hast left"
said the voice. 'beholi and tremble."
Then my lips and eyes were touched and
sealed with silence and with darkness, SO
that / was dumb and blind. And the gates
rolled back, the doors swung wide, and l
was swept into the city that is in the place
of Death. Swiftly l was swept / know not
whittier, till at length / stood upon my feet.
Again the same voice pealed:
DRAW the vail Of blacknsss from his
eyes, unseaI the silence on his lips, that
Harmachis, Child OF Earth, may see. hear
and understand. and make alteration at the
shrine of Her, that Was, and Is, and Shall
Be-
And my lips and eyes were touched once
more, SO that my sight and speech came
bac4.
Behold I stood within a hall of blacklist
marble, so lofty that scarce even in the rosy
light could my vision reach the great
Rreins OF the roof. Music walled about its
spaces, and all adown its length stood
winged spirits fashioned in living flame, and
such was the brightness Of their forms that
Ieouid not look thereon. In its center was
an altar, small and square, and I stood be-
fore the empty altar. Then again the voice
cried:
Thou who. having many names, art get
without . name; Measurer of Time; Guar.
dian Of tho Worlds, and the Races that
dwell thereon; Universal Mother born Of
| Nothingness: Crsatrix unorsatsdt Lawns
Il
