Almost a Plague of Flowers.

Close to Buffalo bayou beyond Morgan
City, and in the Teche sugar sections of
Louisiana, passenger on Texas Central
train pointed out a ditch full of water
hyacinths. They made a bed half a mile
long of green wax-like leaves studded with
upright plumes Of pale lavender blossoms
This was a month ago. He told me how
in the summer Of 1851 he and his wife had
been stopping at Monte Sano, in northern
Alabama, and had found there a lotus
pond containing, besides the lotus plants
a few water hyacinths-both brought from
a distance. He lived in New Orleans, and
to his home in that city he shipped some
of the hyacinths done up in moss. They
multiplied so rapidly In his garden in
New Orleans that they had to be thinned
out, and the discarded plants were thrown
into the ash barrel and then into a ditch
in the country. A year later they were
noticed along the shores of Lake Pont-
chartrain, and in two years were album
dant all around the lake and in all the
waters that empty into it. In three years
hunters and yachtsmen returning to the
city brought wonderful news of the spread
of the plant, and declared that it irnpeded
navigation in some of the bayous Great
beds of the waxy plant, gorgeous in the
springtime with warm cloud of color
foated in all the bayous and reached in
ribbons along the creeks and branches
1t is found now that they will offer no
serious hindrance in navigation and no
damage to any interest, because as they
spread they constantly break apart, and
the detached masses float out into the gulf
and into the ocean, where navigators meet
them in the guise of lavender colored is
lands. They do not take root in the soil,
but float and subsist upon water. The
people of the gulf coast are still astonish-
ed at this visitation, and are wondering
what has been its cause. They have not
yet learned to utilize the flowers for deco
rative purposes or to cultivate and sell
them to lovers of natures ornaments. The
boys who peddle Cherokee roses, jessa-
mine and lilies still pass the wild hya-
cinth by. but in time they will know bet
ter. for the leaf is almost as beautiful as
the blossom, and that is very beautiful in

A DESPERATE FIGHT.
An Alleged Murderer Fires Eight
shots ut the Officers.

Sylvania. Ga. Aug. IA lively battle
occurred on the outskirts Of our town yes
terday afternoon about SHUTDOWN. between
a desperate colored criminal by the name
of James Burns and Messrs. VIII Kemp
and Julius Arnett. who were after him to
arrest him. Sixteen shots were fired
eight on each side, and although hit seven
times. the negro fought desperately until
he was knocked in the head with a rife
after which he fell upon his face and died
in few moments. Neither Of the two
white men were hit. Notwithstanding they
were shot at eight times mostly at close
quarters.
Burns killed another negro here two
years ago. on account of jealousy about
woman ;the deed was done in cold blood,
and the murderer escaped. Yesterday at
ternOOn Constable Bob Bazemore acct
dentally struck up with Burns near
little negro house just out Of town. and
caJOled with him until he got one of his
pistols away from him. ostensibly to look
at it. He then ordered Burns 10 throw up
mis- hands and march before him toward
Sylvania; this the negro reluctantly did,
until, watching his opportunity, he spranS
back upon the constable and wrenching
the pistol from his grasp, ordered the OH
on. There was nothing for BaZemore 10
do but comply, but as soon as the negro
was at a safe distance he sent up town for
Sheriff BROKER who went down to the
scene, accompanied by Kemp and Arnett
Burns had not left the negro house, and
when he saw the party approaching he
ran out across the woods to escape. Kemp
and Arnett followed him, and the latter
ran around the branch to cut him of. As
soon as they got out in a clear space the
negro turned and commenced hiring on
Kemp. Kemp reciprocated with rifle
and shot the darkey through the head the
first fire. Then the fusilade became gen
eral. The negro emptied all but one ball
out of his two pistols at his pursuers and
then clinched with Arnett, who had head
ed him off. With terrible desperation, and
even then in the agony Of death, he was
attempting to shoot Arnett, and would
probably have done so had not Kemp come
up and felled him with the rihe. 1t was
found that out of eight shots fired at him
he had been hit seven times-five with the
pistol and two with the rife. He did not
hurt either of his pursuers, although the
bullets whistled uncomfortably close to
their heads.
