The late pruning, burning and
destroying of the cherokee bush,
may have led SOME of our friends
to believe that ssCherokee," the cor.
respondent, had also fallen under
the keen edge Of some instrument.
Not at all, reader, twas only a
siege of s.La-grippe." We are still
on the staff, slightly disabled Blu,
again alive.
BY the way, tits WHISPERED around
that the Royville corporation has
sprung a leak, and that the little in
land ship is rapidly striking bottom.
We know not if such a state of af-
fairs really exists, but of one thing
we do feel sure, is that neither the
sidewalks, streets, bitches nor
bridges have been worked for many
months. 1t is to be hoped that
Royville will not follow the foot
steps of her sister town Broussard-
vile. Will she?
The pardon of that criminal and
murderer, Ex-Judge Thos. J. Ford,
of New Orleans, is one more stain
on the honor and dignity of the
Pelican state. 1t was a surprise to
all law-abiding citizens, that Gov.
Foster affixed his signature to such
a document. A man need not fear
to commit crime nowadays, as the
present ''pardoning machine
backed by other ssHigh" State
officials, will whitewash all errors
and again manufacture full Aedged
citizens. Shame!

The late cold and rainy weather
has retarted the farmers in blowing

that fine weather will set in, en-
aiding the deserving fafn1ers to

The sudden drop in prices, from
IS to 6 cents on eggs, has been a
hard blow to poultry-raisers. At
such low figures, il pays the farmers
to hatch their eggs, and then sell

been sent by Lafayette Lodge, of
Fall River, Mass, to ask hearing
on the matter. They represented
that one lodge of Pythians in that
city consisted of $50 French Cana
dams and one lodge in Providence
included 100. They said So far as
they were able to observe, they
could see no conflict between Py-
thianism and Catholic doctrines,
and were solicitous for a suspension
of the edict SO. they might perform
their Easter duty.
His Grace seemed much surprised
at the facts presented, and was
evidently much impressed with the
manner of the men. He announced
that he would suspend the edict
temporarily and would issue a
formal decree to that effect in few
days. He promised to bring the
matter to the attention of the Vati-
can at the earliest moment, but
would hold out no hope that his &C
ton would be endorsed as the per-
policy to be followed.

IN rHE COUNTY COURT.
Correct Statement How the New
Salary Law Is Put into Effect

00AAELN 80 8N<Aa~AN a@~6 49, ~N<-
Salary Law is Put into Effect
Tue salAry Law passed by the Last
legislature reduces the salaries Of the
deputy county clerk and recorder and
deputy as foIlows: The old law gave
the clerk $3.50 a year and bis deputy
or deputies s2,OUU, while the recorder
was to receive 81 SO and 81, 500 for
deputies. This was amended in such a
manner that the clerk and deputies re-
ceive 1880 and 81 500 and the recorder
and deputies 81 200 and $3.50. The act
took effect Immediately from and after
It's approval by the governor. However,
the Marion county court concluded not
to make the reduction until the begin
ming Of the new fiscal year in the de-
partments Of the county and yesterday
the first months salary accounts came
up for consideration.
County Clerk Eblen's bill was
drawn and allowed at the old salary Of
1875 . month, and he drew the money
and paid it to his deputies as usual.
Recorder Waters put bic bill in at
the old figure tor S275, having had no
notice Of the court intending to put
the new law into effect. 1t was re-
duced TO comply with the new law to
s165. Neither Mr.. Waters nor Mr..
Eblen have any controversy with the
court as to the amount Of their pay, as
they do not want any more than the
law allows them for their services.
There il no reduction in the clerks
salary. Mr.. Ehlen says the county
officers expected that the reduction
would take place at the February term
when the Law went into effect. The
deputies also expected that, but the
bills were allowed at the old figures,
and at this time no change was ex-
rected. The clerks salary is not re-
duced at all as the morning paper
would intimate.

easily as trained circus eQuin but
when the wagon struck the obstruction
down went about 40 feet of the fencing
but the horses did not stop but ran
toward the house demolishIug mum
Der of fruit trees as they went. The
wagon struck and destroyed the steps
to the residence but had not gone
mucn farther when the wagon struck

freed the horses from the wagon. Wagon

as result When Mr.. Pruit saw he
could not stop the team he attempted
