NEUROLOGY.

Died, in St. Martinsville, Wednes-
day morning. the 27th instant, at
4:15, Mrs. Mary Mathilde Mouton,
wife of Mr.. Fred Mouron.
When the sorrowful tidings of the
death of Mrs. Mouton reached La
fayette, it cast a gloom of painful
surprise and sadness over the entire
community. The news was so I'M
expected, that it was hard to realize
that this estimable lady had rem
dered her spirit to her maker. The
writer was in St. Martinsville last
week, and Wednesday saw Mr.. and
Mrs. Mouton and children taking
a walk on the banks along the bay
on, and little did he think that the
angel of death was lowering over
the happy family, and that soon the
well-beloved wife and mother would
go to her eternal rest.
Born in November, 1860, she was
just entering upon the theshhold of
life, surrounded by devoted hus-
band and four children, (the eldest
seven years old) she could but feel
that life was about to unfold its
brightest pages, and happy and
contented future would be hers.
Mrs. Mouton was an amiable and
highly esteemed lady, who number
ed wide circle of friends and re-
lations. Her loss is deeply lament
ed by all who were familiar with her
kindness of heart and gentleness of
character.
Words, we know, are inadequate
to assuage the feelings of those SO
terribly bereaved. The fountains
of deep sorrow and regret requires
time to spend their painful force,
and The Gazette can but extend it's
sincere sympathy to the afflicted,
and fervently hope that the Great
Dispenser will give those SO sorely
tried, fortitude to bear the heavy
cross that he has placed upon them.

SON e (LO/A AAFL (Z/
The Shreveport Times has been
INDUCING in some plain language.
1t tells the people that they have a
fine country country that grows
many varieties of woods, net to be
found elsewhere, and has many
other things. The country's cotton
crop, it adds, brings in millions of
dollars. And it very pertinently
asks:
What do You do with it Spend it at
home Give it to your neighbor, who has
something you want Build up p, f &c TO
You buy your shoes. thread, clothes, cali
co, yarn, buckets, meat, corn, flour, candy,
wagons, carts, Plows, carriages, ougs,es'
everything, in fact, in New York, Massachu-
setts Connecticut, Indiana, Illinois, any
anywhere and everywhere, except at home
Are you not ashamed of yourselves lake
your money you have made by honest toll,
put it in home factories, then stick to 1t that
not dollar shall 60 abroad that can be
spent for any want that can be supplied
from your native heath.
This is sound advice, which if fol-
lowed must greatly enrich the Sonth.
We think it was Edward Atkinson
who said it was but a question of
time when the factories must move
to the raw material. And the time
is only limited to the day that our
monied men will be willing to put
out their own capital, and then make
efforts to enlist the aid of capitalists
abroad. 1.-THE Southern people had
years ago adopted the plan SO plain
ly laid down by the Times, we
would see today this fair southland
a humming hive of manufacturing
plants. 1t is fact that cannot be
disputed that wherever in the South
manufacturing plants have been es-
tablished and intelligently operated
they have proved paying invest
ments. Cast an eye over the latest
statistics, and the foregoing state
ment finds verifcation in the fact
that our existing factories have not,
during the present financial crisis,
been compelled to shut down. On
the contrary, they have made their
usual runs, and are, reports aver,
as strong financially, as they ever
were.
And the reason is clear. The raw
material is right at their doors. 1t
has been demonstrated, and is an
admitted fact that the cotton mills
in the South are selling their goods
in the Northern marts cheaper than
the mills of New England. This IS
the usual result when goods manu-
featured in the South, from raw ma
terial found in the South, are
brought in competition in the open
markets. The South is beginning
to realize this fact, and as a result
factories aresspringing up every day.

Progression and Retrogression.
Lewis Haase, Adolphe Romero
and Thomas Gayle, some days since
in New Iberia, were ssrolling for the
treats" Each lost one game. Haase
and Gayle paid their treats and Ro-
nero refused to pay his. Some
days later Romero drove in front
of drug store and tossing a dime
to Haase and Gayle, who happened
to be present, requested that Seid-
litz powder be purchased for him.
Instead of complying with the re-
quest the young men kept the dime
and told Romero they proposed to
liquidate the treat which he owed
them. Romero got mad and swore
out an affidavit charging Haase and
Gayle with larceny. They were
brought up before the justice of the
peace who issued the writ of arrest,
and fined S2.5o. They refused to
pay and the matter goes to higher
court for settlement. This act of
the justice of the peace, if true,
which, by the way, we seriously
doubt, is only equalled by the po-
lice juror, in one of the parishes,
who, under the impression that, his
official duties empowered him to do
so, was doing a land office business
for while in marrying people.

Legislative Notes,

The "Banjo-eyed kid'' is said to have
juggled $40 out of the pocket of Aaron
Nathan, who keeps the cigar stand on the
Assembly side in a neat manner on
Wednesday night. The news of the re-
suit OF the Hall-Fitzsimmons fight at
New Orleans reached the telegraph office
at the Capitol quite early, and the ''Kid'
was one of the first to hear it. 1t is said
that he then went out into the corridor
and bet $40 on Fitzsimmons with Nathan.
The latter described war-dance when
he discovered how he had been tricked.
The "hld' only smiles, though, and saws
that it was simply clever guess-no
trick at all.
Senator MCGOWAN received telegram
from some physician up north yesterday
morning requesting him to oppose
Assembly Bill No. 354 - the doctors
bill" The telegram was marked ''col-
lect," and the humboldt Senator had TO
put up 20 cents. Half an hour later he
received another collect" telegram from
another part OF the State-also requesting
him to fight the doctors bill.'' Then he
received another, and another, and still
another and they were all marked ''col-
lect." They continued to come during
the afternoon and even last night. The
Senator was completely exasperated
when the fifth dollar of his hard earned
coin had gone to the telegraph company
| through the attention OF the doctors.
This settles lit" he declared, as he
banged the last telegram down on his
desk. Pm going to vote for that bill

RAILWAY WORLD.
THE UNION PACIFIC CHARGED
WITH CUTTING RATES.
That Road Said to Have Made Deal
With Scalpers-President Clark
Asked to Explain.
Special to the REcoRp.Ux1oN.

CHICAGO, March "A morning paper
says private dispatch from San Fran
cisco states that meeting of local passen-
ger agents was held there Tuesday, at
which Nice-President Stubbs, of the
Southern Pacific, and General Manager
Wade, of the Southern California, were
present. The object of the meeting was
to consider the demoralized condition of
passenger business, brought about by the
action of the L Mon Pacific in establish
ing Peter Mcdonald, New York Emf
grant Agent, in business for the coast,
and in paying large commissions to con-
troll East-bound business.
The fact developed that Tenbroeck, the
General Eastern Passenger Agent of the
Union Pacific, in company with McDon-
aid, visited all important points in Cali
tornia, and made arrangements with
scalpers everywhere to send business
exclusively via the Union Pacific. Rates,
it is claimed. have been cut from Sc to 81
on large numbers of tickets.
Evidence was introduced by the Bur-
lington, Rock Island, Atchison, Colorado
Midland and Denver and Rio Grande,
showing that the Union Pacific has not
been dealing fairly with competitors 1t
was claimed that as soon as President S.
II. II. Clark of the Union Pacific signed
the Presidents agreement for the main
tenance of East-bound passenger rates
from the Pacific Coast, General Passen-
ger Agent LomaX sent Tenbroeck from
New York to California to make deals
with the scalpers.
Hitchcock, General Agent of the Union
Pacific at San Francisco, claims to have
no knowledge of any such transactions
on the part of his company, and those IN
attendance at the meeting came to the
conclusion that somebody higher in au-
thority than Hitchcock is responsible.
President Stubs and General
Manager Wade agreed to send dispatch
to President Clark. requesting an expla-
nation for the violation of the agreement
on the part of the passenger officials of
his road. 1t is feared that unless Presi-
dent Clark takes immediate and decisive
action to stop the demoralizing work of
his passenger officials, serious war on
East-bound passenger rates from the Pa
cific Coast will be the result. The meet
ing adjourned TO await Clark's expla-
nation.
WORLDS FAIR PASSENGER RATES.
CHICAGO, March 8. = a meeting of
agents of the trauscontinental lines was
held to-day to consider the Worlds Fair
rates from the Pacific Coast. They left it
in the hands of a committee, to report to-
morrow. 1t is probable round-trip rate
of $50 will be recommended.
