The Flood.

Since our last issue several breaks
and crevasses have occurred on the
Mississippi river, overlooking a num-
Der of the finest and largest sugar
plantations inssthe State. as also other
farms, homes, ETC., doing great dam
age and causing the loss of thousands
of dollars. Principal among the re-
cent breaks is the great Morganza
levee, which has been watched so close
ly and which it was thought would
stand firm. The New Orleans papers
report the loss of several lives in the
flood. Relief to the sufferers has been
more than literally given by the Lot
terry Company, which in addition to
its cash donations, charter steamboat
and loaded her down with provisions,
and tools and implements to work the
levees and stop the breaks. Other
boats, with necessaries, were after
wards sent to the sufferers. The Ma
tional Government, through the COM
bined efforts of our Congressman has
appropriated 100000 for the relief
of the distressed. Some encouraging
signs are visible, and it is thought
the water will soon go to falling. We
hope so.
We people of Rapides have GER
taiuly good cause to congratulate our.
selves, for during the period the flood
was raging in the lower portion of the
State, we have been high aud dry,
and never for a moment interfered
with. We are lucky indeed.

The Result Of the Butler Murder
Trial.

Civilization, with its onward march,
develops the arts and sciences, and
should produce reform in people and
government conducive to the protec-
ton of life, happiness and prosperity
of man.
Republican government, with the
haheas corpus and jury system, is the
ou'growth of advanced progress, With
adaptation of acts to principles and
circumstances, vet it is not satisfactory
to the ends of good order and we'll be-
ing of society
The higher type of civilization Of
tcntlnes tempers justice too much with
mercy, thereby failing in many in.
stances to punish and eradicate vice.
The recent trial of A. H. Butler for
the murder of b. NJ. Hayes clearly
demonstrates the fact that the people
of Rapides Parish are willing and
have accepted this much needed re-
form and will abide by 1t in future,
and erase from her escutcheon the
many dark deeds of the past. The
intuitive conception of justice by ma
ture belongs to the human mind, and
when not eremplifed is either over.

The jury that was impauelled in the
Butler trial were taken from the hest

listened with patience to all the evi

of the prosecution and defence. The
charge of the Judge was impartial
concise and firm, explaining with force
the duties of juror.
Thus the case was given to the jury
lmpressing every one present that nei

fair and impartial trial in the intelli
gent and enlightened Parish of Rap
ides. The jury now disappeared and
after remaining away about twent,
hours, informed the Judge that al
agreement was impossible. They wer
then discharged, and the great murde
trial of Rapides for 1890 was mis-

verdict for murder without capital pun

That a great many more people,
especially members of the fair sea,
would have attended the grand ball
last week given by the Alexandria
Fire Department but for the inclement
weather. Those who attended speak
highly of the ball, saying that every
thing passed off in the incest manner.
Of course it is very general conclu-
sion to come to-that our fire laddies
never do things half way.
That the young ladies who were
taken to the ball in the "bus" enjoyed
the ride. The trip was as good as a
sleigh ride.
That besides the members of the
Legislature, several Alexandrians
speak of shortly visiting Baton Rouge.
That beautiful flowers Of all kinds
are plentiful in this neighhorhood, and
the pretty girls when decorated with

That cray6sh parties go out every

THAT the average young Aleran-

acquit his client, why its no fault OF
his. They all have good voices, are
not too long winded, and deliver inter

few weeks ago.
That she can't say anything or
the subject of the Dyer sandwich, new

future this rarity will be put on all

That there is some talk of a the

bride, after which they started to Ste

the house they fired off their guns,
loaded With blank cartridges, and
made quite noise. Stewart, as We
hear, claims that the guns were load

and he thinking that some trouble was
brewing, for self protection grabbed
his musket in his room and fired at
the chariva'1 party, killing one of
them and wounding both the others.
