The arrest of VIM. Boullt. Of
Nstchitochss, in this city on Fri
day last, on q charge Of destroy
ing the records of his native par
ish, has brought TO light family
history whose absorbing interest,
no less than its sad and sorrowful
ending, would furnish material for
a story Of more intense interest
than Miss Braddon's Cora, the
Octoroon," or than any Of the
novals that have dealt with that
peculiar class in whose veins
courses but suspicion of negro
blood. Boullt, it appears, has
been q coleman Republican"
(whatever that may be) up in
Natchitoches, and when Harrison
was elected he al once set him
self to the task of getting an
Ntiice. His peculiar fancy was
the position of Register of the
Land Office ct Natchi!ochcs, now
held by Mr.. Willis Holmes,
stauncl Democrat, appointed by
Cleveland.
At first Boullt did not feel that
the slight taint Of negro blood he
knew to be in his veins would act
as 8 bar to his advancement. He
naturally thought Harrison would
recognize the negro In his appoint
msnts, and, therefore, gave no con-
Germ to the question ofluixed blood.
Doubtless he thought "Boullt
Arricsnus" would appeal more
strongly to Mr.. Harrison than
Boullt, the seemingly pure Csuca
sian, for Boullt, be it known. bears
no appearance Of mixed blood.
But as time progressed, and the
Louisiana negroes came home
from Washington, one by one, sad
and sorrowful, without an office,
the idea dawned upon the man
frsm Natchitoches that his hopes
were forever gone unless every
scrap Of evidence Of his mixed
ancestry should be made to dissp
pear. so Boullt conceived the
idea ofgsining entrance to the
recorders office in the town of
Natchitoches, and while the re-
cordcr and his deputies were
absent Of destroying any and
all records Of the marriage Of his
father and mother, wherein is con-
tained tho statement that the lat
ter Was Of mixed Caucasian and
negro blood. This, it appears, be
succeeded in doing, and with his
past thus blotted out, he has
strong hopes that his future would
be rssy with the hue of sfiico. He
left Natchitochss and came to this
city on route to Washington.
But his dissertation of the records
was discovered, and 3 telegram
from Sheriff Trichel, of Natchlto-
ches, caused his arrest be Chief
Henncsssy in this city on Friday
last, ss alread related IN the
Times Democrat.
The arrest Of Boullt has dis.
closed curious family history.
Some years before the war; David
II. Boullt, a wealthy planter and a
bachelor, living near Natchito.
ches, came 70 this city to bay
slaves. At the Arcade Exchange,
between Magazine and Tohoupitoa-
las streets, hO saw brought out
for sale to the highest bidder an
extremely beautiful and lovely
octoroon, whose dreamy eyes and
soft, languorous manner, at once
made him captive. He bought
her (traditlon says for a good
round sum- and bore her in
triumph to his magnificent estate
on the banks Of Red river. She
became his mistress, and nine
children were born to them-four
girls and FIVE boys. 1t had not
hssn Bcullt's design to marry this
beautiful mistress, who grew more
beautiful a. the years advanced.
The law at that time forbade it,
and nothing was further from his

home to the town OF Natchltoches.
The sons meanwhile, younger than
the daughters, were being sducat'
ed at the best colleges and univer-
stiles in this country. One by
one they returned homo, well edu-
Gated young fellows, Of pleasing
address, and destined, but for the
fatal faint, to play no uneventful
part in the history Of that section
Of the State.
When the Boullt family had
finally all collected in Natchito-
chss they found their position a
trying one. Utterly iaolated from
the whites, and too highly cultur-
ed to enjoy the society Of the rae e
whose blood coursed in but smsll
measure through their veins,
they we're as utterly desolats
as the exile in the depths Of
Siberia. But the father was
kind and lndulegent, he was
prosperous, and the family bore
its burden with becoming forti-
tude. No breath Of suspicion at,
tachsd to the girls, and they grew
up highly respected, but utterly
stunned.
One ray Of light, however, in
the perpetual social gleom Of t be
Boullt household came when q
scion of one OF the nobelest Of t he
Creole families in the parish fell
In love with the beautiful Laura
Boullt, a perfect blonde, whose
beauty is to this date . common
theme of discussion in Natchlto-
chss, aud addressed her. TO the
credit Of the girl, be it said, she
rejected him, declaring thst they
could never be happy, no matter
how much they loved each other,
for he would never fall to her
social level, and she could never
hope to rise to his. Two Of these
girls, however, married men of
pure Caucasian blood.
One is living in Boston NTH
her husband, who is the postal
service: the other married a
dentist, who lives IN city in the
interior Of this State. Laura, the
beautiful blonde who rejected the
noble young Creole, and the re.
naming sister, have never married.
But to return to Boullt, the
father. When the Republican
party came into power in this
State sfter reconstruction, BouIlt
joined it for tho money thsre was
in it. For years be WAS the brains
and the backbone Of radicslism in
Natchitoches parish. He was
made tax collector by warmotl,,
and later by kellogg. Shrewd
and cunning as he was, he did
not torescc thst the sxcesses Of
the reign of radlcalism could end
but one way-in revolution and
when the crash came he went down
in the general destruction, fortune
and all, and 8 few years later died
an utter physical and financial
wreck. His family Was left desti-
tute, and they scattered here,
there and everywhere, two of the
sons, however, remaining in
Natchitochcs-David II. Boullt,
Jr., the eldest of the Eve, and Will
liam II. Boullt, the second son,
who was arrested in this city, az
already told. The two unmarried
girls are now liring in this city.

Thanksgiving and Prayer.

IN the Providence of Almighty
God the past year has been one of
unusual prosperity to our people.
Dependent upon the gifts and opera
tons of nature for the increase of
the ground and the gathering Of its
fruits, we planted in the confident
hope that the depths would be bro
ken up and the clouds drop down
their dew upon our labors. The re-
turns of seed time and harvest have
crowned the year with the goodness
of the Almighty, and filled our barns
with plenty and our presses with new
wine.
The annual exhibit of the indus
tries Of the State, now being made
at the Capital, is evidence of the
marked incrcas" in the prosperity Of
our manufactures, the mechanical
arts, and the mercantile interests of
The State. 1t is the best Indication
Of the general activity, industry and
enterprise Of the people in every
section of South Carolina.
Never before since The dark days
Of the States calamity have our
schools, and colleges, and Scminarics
Of learning, opened their fall ses-
sions with SO large Il number Of pu-
pills.
While SORROW and misfortune have
bcfallcn some, happiness and pros
perity have been general, and in
every department of the States life
the spirit OF earnest cnlcavor has
anima,rd the people. The future of
our beloved Commonwealth is bright
cncd by these cheering tokens of her
happiness, her honor and her cndur-
ing prosperity.
For these manifestations of Gods
mcrciiul providence it is meet that
we, who are the recipients of His
bounty, should render unto Him our
heartfelt thanks.
Now, therefore, in humble acknowl-
cdgmrnt Of Ills ri ghtcous govern
mrnt over us, |, J. u. Richardson,
Governor Of South Carolina, hereby
invite and request the people of the
State to assemble in their respective
places OF divine Worship on Thurs
day, the !Sth OF November instant,
to give grateful thanks to the God
and Father of us all for the fruits Of
the earth, and the other blessings of
His mcrrifuI providence.
In testimony whereof have here

pert TO Montgomery county to in
vcstigatc the rumors Of an impor-
tant gold find there, and he reports
that all statements about fabulous
wealth having been discovered there

richest ever discovered in the State.
Three parallcllcd veins were found
about half an inch il thickness and
only Il few feet apart. The one pans
large per cent of pure gold. The
lpufchnan's representative asccr-
tanned that Il bushcl of solid gold
had already been taken out of the
deposit.
The place is owned by three SAIL
dcrs Bros. Two of them have been
living in Texas, but have started for
Salisbury in response to kilograms.
Great excitement is reported in the
neighborhood and people are leaving
their work to search for gold. 1t is
stated that one man in two hours
work got out 10000 penny weights
of pure gold and was then compelled
by owners to leave off work.
