Capt. John NJ Walsh returned last
Sunday night from his trip to Nash
vile, Tenn, whittier he had gone as a
delegate to e. G. V.reun1on from the
Braxton Bragg Camp of this psrish.
and declares himself rs perfectly
delighted with his trip. The reunion
was u of the grandest occasions ever
witnessed in the South and that of
itself was more than worth the trip,
the Captain declares. But the expo
sition itself was a revelation to the
many sights seers who attended from
this section. While in Nashville Capt
Walsh took occasion to visit, with his
daughter, Hon. and Mrs. Andrew
Price on their model Tennessee farm,
Glover Bottom by whom they were
warmly welcomed and co rdially en-
tertained. Indeed, at the earnest and
pressing invitation of their hospitable
host and hostess Miss Walsh stayed
over with them for a short while aud
did not return with the captain.

office is quietly on and it seems that .
very large proportion of the gold DEM

letters and papers. As there is only
room for one. there will be several left
to weep together after the little plum
il placed. If our presiden. has as
many candidates for every office at
his disposal as there are candidates for
the Plaquemine p~ostofice. he deserves
the sincerest sympathy of the people
Of the country. While the democrats
feel little interest in the scramble,
they enjoy the tussle in which 50 many

Upon rehearing the supreme con,

Upon %rehearing the supreme court
has declared the act of the Legislature,
granting the town Of Lafayette the
power to issue bonds for the erection

constitutional. We are glad of
this, for although we had no
doubt as to the constitutionality Of the
ACT authorizing Il town to Issue hnnds
the facts IN our ase being different
from those in The Lafayette CASEY still

One More Enoch Arden.

The story of second Enoch Arden
comes from Wilton, Boone County, Mo.
In 1861 Rowland Griggs, a strapping
young fellow Of 70 years, left his home
near Wilton to join the Confederate
army. He babe good-by to his young
wife and their 6-weeks-old daughter
Margaret, ana promised to return in a
few short months. But months passed.
and then years, and all the neighbors
and friends who We're in the armies on
either side returned, but Griggs came
not. After waiting nearly ten years for
her husband Mrs, Griegs gave him up
for dead, accepted the attention Of
Riley Riffelo, a prosperous bachelor
farmer near Wilton, and married him.
OF this union five children were born.
A stranger came this week to the Will
ton neighborhood. No one knew him,
though he said he was born and reared
near by. He asked for Mrs. Griggs.
and an old farmer told him of the mar
rage to Riffelo.
The stranger said he had known her
when a girl and would call on her. He
did so. but was mot recognized. He
was invited to dinner. Then he an
nounced his identity. He said he was
Rowland Griggs and that Mrs. Riffelo
was his wife. He told his story and
proved 1t by documents and other evil
dence. He had been wounded on the
battlefield Of Mulfreesboro, and cap
tured by the Union army. Remaining
In the hospital and prison until the
close Of the war. lie heard his wife and
child were dead. He did not return.
therefore. to Missouri, but went to
Iowa, where he has been engaged in
farming. A longing to look on the
scenes of his earlier days seized him
and he came back to Boone County
After mutual recognitions followed a
problem-would he claim his wife? She
seemed happy and content In her new
relations, and the first husband would
not disturb her. Accordingly, after a
visit to his baby Margaret. now mar
ried for the second time, Griggs left fol
his home in Iowa.-Kansas City Star.

MANY stories are told of the keen wit

q great and eloquent preacher, but

He had a great fondness for animals,
and particularly for horses. Of whose
good points he was said to be an excel

horse, met Doctor Mason and stopped
to ask his opinion of the animal, which
he was then driving.
Doctor Mason surveyed the horse
