Mrs. O.Shea.

Mrs. O'Shea is no ordinary woman, and
least Of all is she an adventures. She is of
the bluest English blood, and is O. woman of
intellect and refinement. Her brother, Sir
Evelyn Wood, is one of the best generals in
the British army and, after lord Wolseley
and Sir Frederick Roberts, who are both
Irishmen, next in the line of promotion for
commander-in.chief. Mrs. O'Shea is hand.
some, with a pearly white skin, a wealth Of
golden hair, and q graceful, voluptuous figure.
She has a fascinating manner, and is charm
ing in conversation, with cultivated literary
tastes and a mans knowledge of politics.
The breath of suspicion had never touched
her until she met Parnell. She started in to
help him politically and ended by becoming
infatuated with him. The fascination was
mutual.
O'Shea is the son of q Limerick attorney,
who left him a large fortune, which he squan.
dered in horse racing and gambling. He was
an officer in a crack cavalry regiment, q dash.
ing, lady-killiug fellow with a good figure and
when she was in her teens, but the pleasures
Of the mess-room and the race course had
more attraetiveness for him than home.
When he lost his money he left the army and
lived on his wife's, spending it freely on wine,
women aud horses. He often remained
months away from home, and utterly neg
lecfed his wife, Getting into Parliament for
County Glare through the influence Of the
Catholic bishops, he foisted himself on Par
nell through his wifes entreaties and proceed
ed to earn a good government berth by max"
ing himself useful. He closed his eyes to
what everybody knew and finally only acted
from mercenary motives. He is the most
thoroughly despised cad in London to-day.
Under other circumstances and with a man
for a husband Mrs. OiShea would have made
a good wife. There can be no donbt hat
Parnell will marry her.-Evening Post.

discovered on the Limpopo river, Africa, not

His palace and throne is an ox-cart. Sur.

Pointe Coupee Democrat: Our friends in
st. Landry are greatly ineensed over the ap.
pointment of a oolored postmaster for the
peace and quite, there was good feeling be-
tween the races, and this would have con-
tinued, but for the President of the United
States occasionally humbling the white race
by his appointments. The same thing was
done in Georgia, on the sea coast of Missis-
sippi and at Vicksburg.
Vacancies nave often occurred in Indiana,
and in the Presidents city (Indianapolisb and
yet the President has not appointed a single
negro to office. We are getting on well with
the colored race in Louisiana, and if the of
fetal republicans at Washington, d. c., will
let us alone this friendly relation will con-
tinue.
The intelligent eolored people all repudiate
the attempt on the part of the President to
review the past they wish bye cones to be
forgotten and to pursue their peaceful pur-
suits and rest under the shadow of the law.

One of the constituents of the New York
Sun asks that paper if the citizens of New
Orleans, who lynched the italian assassins of
Hennessey, can not be tried in a Federal
court, and then proceeds to give what he i'm
AGNES to be good reasons to show that they
can, but the Sun itself is silent on the ques.
ton. We can inform its correspondent, how.
White, the leaders of tho anti.lotterites here,
to prevail the l~ynchers could be tried in q
Federal court, and Furthermore that they
could be drawn and quartered without even
the process of law. The policy of these two
leaders is to ignore the rights of the State
and those of citizens as is shown by their
Anti-Lottery postal law, which they were in
strumental in pushing through Congress, in
order that the Federal government might
have the authority to pack the postofice de.
partment with spies, and to seize letters and
newspapers placed in the mails.

Ruston Caligraph: The true facts in the
case of the acquittal of the Italians for the
murder of Chief Hennessy has leaked out.
A deal was made between O'Mally and
Seligman in which it was agreed that Selig-
man was to get on the jury if possible; O'Mally
was to take all bets that the murderers would
be acquitted and seligman was to see that the
game won. 0'Mally made a great number of
bets and Seligman being appointed foreman
Of the jury, and being far superior in intelli-
gence had no trouble in moulding the verdict.
When the case was decided Seligman and
OMally met privately and divided the result
of their damnable winnings. However, some
of the jury did receive brides In money from
Seligman while others were buldozed. 1t is
said the conspirators raked in thousands of
dollars.
