A pIngue of Rntternies.

Munich has been invaded by an enor-
nous army of butterflies. Millions of
the species known as ''nonnenschmetter-
linge" attacked the city few nights
ago, attracted, as is supposed. by the
brilliancy of the electric lights. The
walls of the houses before which electric
lamps were fixed were literally covered
with the butterflies. In several places
they forced their way through the doors
and windows and futtered around the
lights In the Cafe Kaiserhof and the
Loewenbrau-Keller the intensity of the
light fstscinated such swarms of the but
terfiy nuns" that the devotees of King
Gambrinus found their hats and clothes
SO thickly coated with the intruders that
they hurried out and left the invaders in
possession. In some places the lamps
were darkened by the mass of butterflies
clinging around them. James Ga

Arrested for Selling Branded Peaches.

a peculiar case of innocent violation
of the revenue laws has developed in
Decatur. F. S. Fox bought quantity
of imported branded peaches. He took
them to Cerro Gordo and sold them at
his restaurant. Jacob Leslie's boy be-
came intoxicated on the peaches, and
this started quite a run on the peaches.
Fox had to order a fresh supply. Mr..
Leslie had Fox arrested for violation of
the liquor law, and the trial will take
place at Cerro Gordo. A Decatur chem
ist analyzed the peaches, and found that
one bottle contained 81 per cent. of al

An eminent authority writes on this sub

sively. Green teas, being in this country
especially popular, are produced to meet the
demand by coloring cheaper black kinds by
glazing or facing with Prussian blue, tumeric

eral that rcry little genuine anchored green tea

. WRONGS OF TUE sMAlL EARIcrs

WRONGS OF THE SMALL FARMERS.
The story OF the grievances OF these
ruralists is a long ono to tell, but it
seems to be necessary that should tell
you some OF it in order that you may
appreciate what comes after in regard
to this meeting which Mr.. Gladstone
addressed yesterday. You know that
the land in England is in the hands OF
tho few. In my rumaging here in the
library OF the National Liberal Club I
have seon it stated that one thousand
persons, out OF the thirty-sevcn millions
OF inhabitants. own nearly threc.sev-
enths OF tho land oil this kingdom, and
that fifteen thousand persons own
nearly five:sevenths OF it. The institu-
ton known rs the hereditary aristoc.
racy rests for its perpetuity on the own
ership OF the land. Knocl; this prop
from under it and it tumbles. What
the nristocracy therefore dread, and
always have dreaded, is the extension
OF the suffrage, especially do they now
dread what is known as manhood
suffrage" that is, tho non-prop-

Both parties are now preparing for
what is expected to be ono OF the most
exciting contests OF recent years. This

am writing, was called to meet here as
Il part OF tho political programme on

Editor CLARION, Opelousas.-Dear
Sir In your last issue appeared a
communication signed by parties of
this vicinity. Admitting that some
infractions have been committed at the
Dossman poll, | beg leave to submit
that such an assertion can not Justly
be made against said poll and its COM
missioners, for the following reasons !:
Over one-half of the signers admitting
that they live in the same precinct)
yet are entirely strangers of said poll
for the fact that they never voted at
said poll before and since the last
primary, and only those have been re-
fused. The remainder of the signers as
they only care for themselves and want
ing to control, have sought the infu-
ence- of this neighbor community to
gain victory, though it looks like a
process of bulldosing. Hoping that
this animosity, if such it may be called,
may come to an end.
Respectfully yours,
AIS. DOssMAN.
