Just So,

Our ncigirbor, the Clarion, OF the 23nd
inst, contains the folluwing:
"Jnhging from a strong anti lottery
article fr"ni the Ne v York Times, that
appeared last week in the columns of

question, and coming over on the right
side"
We are sometimes led into error
neighbnr, and if this were your first and
last, we shonld feficifate You and con-
gratulate your readers. We might re.
tort, by reminding the Clarion that
when its first number appeared, our
cnnfrere j. w. jackson was announced
a. the Editor, although he had hoand
himself mot TO engage in the npwspa-
per business directly or indirectly in the.
parish of Sr. Landry for the term of five
years" He, like Jack in the box, disap-
nearpd fron. the next Dumher of the
Clarion.
And we might retort still again, did
we not know that our friend is not re-
sponsible for all that appears in the
Ciarion.
We might call his attention to the
fact that the entire patent side of his
last issue, is but reproduction of what
appears in the ST. Laudry Democrat.

The annual ball given 10y the Opelou-
sas Social Club at Perrodin's Hall, on
Thursday night, was a brilliant affair
The band from Breaux Bridge furnish
ed as fine music as We have heard at
any time. for ball purposes in New Or
leans. The sky was uncIouded, the
moon full olbed, and the air bracing.
The gentlemen were uii that gentlemen
can be, while the ladies, God bless them,
were too charming in dress, in graceful
ness, vivacity, elasticity and beauty, to
excuse an attempt at description. II
the young men who were there were not
inoculated with the sweet spirit of mat
rimony, they should join the Troglo-
dytes and never again hope to look into
the heaven of bright eyes.

Special OF the Gazette.

Special of the Gazette.
BROWNSVILLE, TEX, Aug. 1S.-This
morning at 'clock Max Siren "a promi-
nent and respected merchant of Edin-
burg, Tex. land county Judge of Hidalgo
county was shot and killed in cold blood
by a woman wife of H. T. MeCate, ex-
county judge of Hidalgo county, while
rtrolling around the plaza in company
with his wife at Reynoss, Mexico, where
the annual fair of that locality was be-
ing held. The weapon used was re-
volver of small calibre, and but
one shot was fired, the bullet en-
tering the body Immediately under the
left breast and passing out at the back,
producing Instant death. No other cause
is assigned for this foul assassination
than that bad blood has existed for some
time between the members of the
two families growing out of po-
litical troubles. The arrest of the
murderers was not made without
trouble, as sne strenuously resisted the
Mexican authorities striving to lay hold
of her.
The remains of the murdered man
were brought down to Matamoras, Mex
leo, on a special train of the Mexican
National railway, thence to this city for
interment in the Jewish cemetery. The
funeral was attended by a large CON-
course of mourning relatives and friends
of the unfortunate man.

Special TO the Gazette.
LONDON, Aug. 1S.-Tte Propagation
of parliament has opened the flood gates
of comment on the doings of the legisla a.
tive branch of her majesty's govern
ment during the session. Although
many of the conservative papers stood
loyalty in support of the majority while
the session lasted, often most incensist-
emily defending their acts, not one of
them now reviews the session TO the
credit of the ministry, but rather all
unite in condemning its course and de-
ploring the results of the session.
The Times devotes q leading article
five columns in length to the expression
of its opinion, and in substance declares
that the session as whole has been the
most barren one in the respect of bene-
fetal achievements vet recorded. A COM
plete breakdown of the ministerial ma
chiuery, 1t says, is not only likely but
certain to lead to a permanent change in
the arrangements of parliamentary pro-
ceedings. This end the majority tried 10
reach, but through the incompetency of
its leaders and the apathy of many of
their followers the attempt failed to the
advantage of the opposition and the last
ing discredit or those
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAILURE.
The comments on the queen 8 speech
terminating the session are mainly fav-
orable to the views expressed by her
majesty, especially in regard to the
Behring sea dispute, the prolongation of
which the British government having Of
fered to submit it to arbitration, Is not
to be held responsible for.
The German government has ordered a
battalion TO make an experiment of lay
ing an army line of railroad between
Shernberg and 1nterberg, East Prussia.
1t is expected that the entire work will
be finished within four days. 1t is in
tended that other similar experiments
shall be made, the lines in each case to
remain permanently as portions of the
general railroad system, though later
ones will be constructed in more strategic
localities.

A NEW COUNTY FORMED.
How They Speak of Our Bonds Of
Friendship.
Special to the Gazette.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Aug. 1S.-In
Mexico, just across the Rio Grande from
Del Rio, Tex, new county has been
formed under instructions from the gov
eminent of the state of Coahuila. Las
Vacas, the county seat, has had
its name changed to GAIA Galan :,
in honor of the present governor of Goa
hula who is hand-in-glove with the
Federal administration at the City of
Mexico. A full set of officers were ap-
pointed. Last night they came
across the river into Del Rio, Tex.
They were headed by brass band
and made things lively. Among numer-
Gus other things that they said was one to
the effect that Mexico and the United
States were indissolubly one in the bonds
of friendship, and all the border trouble
in the world could not divide them.
They were Hospitality treated and fer
ried across the river to-day. The
creation of this county is another indi-
cation of the amity shown by the pres
ent administration. The sole reason for
Its creation is found in the fact that
Americans for number of miles
up and down the Rio Grande will be now
able to transact business with officials at
Las Vacas instead of being forced to
travel sixty miles to Piedras Negras, or
as it has been recently named, Portirio

synopsis of the Queens speech.

Synopsis Oh queens SpeeCus
LONDON, Aug. 1S.-Parliament has
been prorogued. The queen g speech to
the two houses was in part as follows:
Ny Lords and Gentlemen.
My relations with all foreign powers
continue peaceful. l have offered the
president of the United States to submit
to arbitration the differences over the
Behring sea fisheries.
The conference on the slave trade
" hich was assembled at my suggestion
by King Leopold, has brought its DELHI
erations to close, and the final act has
received the adhesion of all powers rep
resented except Holland. L earnestly
hope that the resolutions of the confer
ence may lead to results worthy of the
high aud benevolent purpose that in
spired them.
Gentlemen of the house of commons,
1 thank you for the provision you have
made for the requirements of state. It
is matter of much satisfaction to me
that you have been able to make sub
stantial progress in the task of reducing
the public burdens.
My lords and gentlemen, am rejoiced
to observe the active steps taken by you
to promote primary and intermediate
technical education.
trust the measure passed for the ex-
tsnsive reconstruction of the army will
secure health and increased efficiency of
my soldiers.
The policy you have adopted of giving
uniformity aud increased vigor to pre-
cautions against contagious diseases
among cattle will have q salutary in
fiuence upon very important interest.

Senator Edmunds Impatient.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Ed
munds is evidently impatient of the slow
movement of the committee on finance
in deciding whether or not to attach the
reciprocity clause TO the tariff bill. His
resolution proposing such policy with re-
gard to sugar introduced to-day is so
nearly like the Pierce amendment that
no purpose can be assigned for its intro
duction except 10 hurry matters up.
Such jogging from an old and conserva
tive senator is supposed to have more in
fluence with the committee than one
which comes from newer men, and the
prevailing impression is that all these
amendments will go into the hopper of
the committee only to come out short of
all their original strength and reduced to
the condition of a see-saw plank in the
party platform, which points one way
and tips another.

tee on elections in the case of Clayton VS..
Breckenridge of the Second Arkansas
district. The report says that with one
exception the district has always
gone Democratic, and the presump-
ton should be in favor
OF the Democrat against the Republican
contestant. The theft of the ballot box
IN the case is admitted, but it is held
that it did not change the result of the
election, as the Democrats carried the
district by majority of l49. Even all
of the wing Republicans disputed the
votes in every township.
