A New Departure.

It is our intention if we can get suf-
ficient support, to commence our next
volume, which will be on the 1st Of
March next, by printing all of the Mes
senger at home, but to do this, we must
have the advertising patronage of our
Merchants, Lawyers, Doctors and other
business of the town, ;t9d to get these
advertisements we propose to make them
q new and liberal offer, which is as fol-
lows:
We will insert a one inch advertise
ment, to be changed every season. for
the small sum Of 80 gents per months.
which amount will be payable on the
first Saturday of each month. A tro
inch advertisement will cost one dollar
month, and so on.
This is certainly Q good and liberal
offer, and there is not a business house,
however small, which cannot afford to
put a card in its local paper at such
small cost.
Our business people should advertise
freely If they want to keep up with our
heighbors, and this is an indueement for
them, now let US see if they will take
advangtage Of it.

A very serious shooting affray
took place at the salt mines on Christ
mas day. 1t seems that on the evening
previous. one Vim. Ferrett, q butcher,
being under the influence of liquor, went
to the residence of Mr.. MN. HOllander,
an employer at the mines, and inquired
for him; he was told by Mrs. Hollander
that her husband was absent. This Fer
ret said he did not believe and after in
sulting the lady left the premises. The
following day HOllander and Ferret met,
and it seems that both had been drink
ing; there was present also Chas. Smith
and John Messner. HOllander took Fer
ret to task for insulting his wife, and
the former becoming aggressive and
threatening to strike Ferret, the latter
threatened to shoot him if ha did.
Smith and Messner sided with HOllander
and the quarrel continued until the last
namei struck Ferret in the face with his
fist, when the latter drew his revolver
and shot Hollander in the face, seriously
w6unding him; he then turned upon
Messner and Smith and wounded both of
them, the latter slightly and the former
believed to be fatally hurt. Ferret made
his escape Immediately after the shoot
ing and has not been arrested. He had
not long been at the mines, and is said
to have resided in Fausse Pointe for a
time and was recently married to wi
dow jackson of that section. Prior to
coming to Fausse POinte. he lived at Ca
tahoula, in st. Martin parish. He is de-
scribed as being a man five feet eleven
inches tall; has short sandy-colOred beard
and heavy sandy moustache; is slightly
stopped; is a little bit deaf; has blue eyes
with restless exceptionally long arms
and slender legs.-New Iberia Enter

A Strange Bug.
1t Drops from an Electric Wire
Upon Little Girls Cheek.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29.-Physicians
and medical students have been study
ing with great interest case without a
parallel, so far as is known. Little Mat
tie Lurkie, walking on Girard avenue a
few days ago with her aunt, suddenly
stopped, and putting her hands to her
face, screamed: Il am shot,"
The aunt seized the child's hands and
staggered back as if he had received an
electric shock. A crowd speedily ga
thered, and a man crushed with his foot
peculiar bright-hued bottle-shaped and
hard-shelled bug, which, falling from
the wire overhead, had struck the girl
and stung her. A bright spot on the
girls cheek showed where the bug made
the wound and evidently inOculated her
with the electricity with which it was
charged by being in contact with the
wire.
Little would have been thought of the
accident had it not been for the peculiar
symptoms OF the girl, who was nervous
and uneasy, whose grasp sent an unde-
finable tingling sensation to the hands
of everybody who touched her. DR.. De-
buest diagnosed the case as bullia Orva-
SECULAR poisoning, and administered re-
medies usual in eases Of that kind. To
his establishment. however, the bright
hued sore on the cheek was followed by
other bright-hued eruptiOns on every
part Of the body, each one emitting the
same peculiar tingling sensation when
touched.
In his opinion the bug was Of a Brazil
lian species. brought to this country in
the year of the centennial. The insect
itself is not known to be poisonous, and
is distinguished for its peculiar bottle
shaped appearance. The patient is now
considered out of danger, after unremit-
ting attention on the part of the doctors,
but still suffers from the inOculated
electric bite.

Washington is still laughing over the
manner In which nearly all the leading
Republicans In the Senate were taken IN
by Baltimore sharper named Duvall,
He addressed to each of the Senators a
letter containing what purported to be
the certificate of the birth of a male
child and the announcement that he
was such an admirer of the Senator that
he had named the child after him. The
Senators were flattered, as a matter of
course, and they sent to the admiring
parent OF the little Duvall handsome
presents in the shape of checks, silver
cup and jewelry. Senator Manderson
discovered the swindle and gave the joke
to the newspaper correspondents and the
result is that at the present time there
is more talk heard at the Capitol about
baby Duvall than baby Mckee. States:

Killed His Sweet heart.

We take the following account of the
killing of Mrs. Mary Chase, by Ephraim
Mendoza, in the Iberville South of the
9th of December: On the night of the
10th inst. man by the name Of Ephra-
im Mendoza, shot and killed Mrs. Mary
Chase, young widow, and daughter of
John CrawsOn, living on Bayou Chene.
1t is claimed that jealousy was the cause
Of the terrible deed, since it is alleged
that the lady had previously refused his
offer of marriage, whereupOn he threa-
tened her life. On the night of the kill
ing she was on her way to a cady pull
ing. in company with Mr.. Pat Beaver,
when they were accosted by Mendoza.
He demanded that she shOnld 60 with
him. She refused, and he again asked
her to marry him, which proposition met
with fiat refusal from her, upon which
he quickly placed his revolver near her
neck and fired. The ball entered her
neck ami broke the spine, causing in
slant death. Beaver Immediately grap-
pied with the murderer and disarmed
him, and thinking the lady had only
tainted from fright, let Mendoza go, and
went to the bayou for water, which he
brought i'm his hat. When he turned
her over to apply the water he discovered
that she was dead. In the meantime
Mendoza had disappeared. We have
heard it rumOred that he went and
armed himself with a Winchester rife,
and locking himself in an outhOuse near
by, refused to be arrested That band
OF men, headed 6y Harry Mason of this
town. surrounded the house and kept a
close watch over it all night, and that
early in the morning Mendoza decided
to surrender, and opening the door. came
out and was at once placed under arrest.
He is said to be a man about 30 years Of
age, 5 feet, 2 inches in height, dark COM
pleXiOn. and wears black mustache.

We clip the following paragra ph from
a Jeanerette correspondence to the New
iberia Enterprise:
"We are sorry to chronicle the demise
of the HORNET. We had expected and
felt inclined to think that the public ci-
tizens of Jeanerette would sustain q
good local paper, if such one were pu-
blished, both as to subscriptions and ad-
vertising matter, but in that we were
woefully mistaken. We can safely and
truly say and say the same without fear
of contradiction, that there are fewer
men in this town that are in favor of
internal improvements than any section
of the country we have ever been in.
There is more parsimOny and avariciOus-
ness and jealousy, than almost anywhere.
There are some who think the world Is
theirs on account of the few worldly
possessions in their grasp. What is
wanted and what Jeanerette needs badly
to give her healthy boom and improve
the town is a few first-class funerals
and then reaction will take place, and
not until then will our place compete
with some of its more energetic and en-
terprising sister towns"
