judge had all the law on his side, and
had fortified himself with a stack of sd

no law On his side, but he had wha,
was better. He had the justice Of the
peace. The Judge introduced his evil
dence in support Of his bill Of particu-
lars. and the attorney on the ether side
moved to dismiss the case. The judge
read volumEnously from supreme court
reporns. The attorney on the other side
had no reports and wanted none.
''When the Judge had finished, his
opponent arose and remarked IN an In

Last Saturday morning Mr.. John
Pittman shot and killed negro by the
name Of George Boyd in the public
road, on the Wilton front. 1t seems
that the negro owed Mr.. Pittman q
supply account and was attempting TO
move off of Wilton down TO STEMS
without settling up before leaving.
Mr.. Pittman wrote Mr.. Stein note 10
reference to the matter and told him
that if the negro would pay one half
of his indebtedness he would relin-
quish him. To this he received no
reply. The night before the killing,
Boyd carried off large portion of his
effects in one Of Mr.. STEMS wagons
through the back part of the planta-
ton and next morning was returning
for the balance, coming up the public
road along the levee front, when he
was met by Mr.. Pittman. A short
conversation took place between them,
during which Mr.. Pittman told Boyd
that he did not intend to shoot him,
but that he could not go on until he
was paid. The negro replied that by
Cd he was in the state road and
nobody could stop him. Mr.. Pittman
caught the bride Of one of the front
mules, and as no did so, Boyd raised
his Winchester to fire; but before he
could do 80 Mr.. Pittman cooked bis
rifle and shot him in an instant, the
ball entering near the thigh and COM
ing out near the spine. He died in a.
few minutes. The only reason Mr..
Pittman was not shot was due TO the
fact that the Negroes gun was rusty
and would not work rapidly.
Although done in self defense, the
affair is regretted very much by Mr..
Pittman, who had no idea of bis
trouble with the dsrkey terminating
so fatally.

Doubtless our friend, fellow citizen
aud publisher, Mr.. Jas. N. Turner, is
at this moment basking in the smiles
of the fair Miss, and his tongue is in.
dulging in those soft and soothing ex.
pressions of sentimentality and yum
yumism which young and giddy
thing like he is will sometimes be
guilty Of. We can picture him now in
far off Missouri, paying the tribute Of
his hearts fondest emotion at the
shrine of love and beauty, waxing elo-
qnent as bis dimpled cheeks glow with
enthusiasm, telling some poor, unsus-
pecting little daughter ofEvo the most
extrayagant and thrilling stories of his
own dear Ethiopian land OF Louisiana,
while Cupid is shooting him all over
with arrows, poisoned In the ever-bub-
bling fountain of lovy.oveism. Could
our optics look across the towering
hills, the distant plains and through
the deep forest avenues that inter-
vene between this sanctum and our
smitten Jimmie, we could haply see
him seated beneath some birchen
bower, pleading his. cause most GAL
lantly, while the hooking bird or
sweet robin red-breast sings gaily in
the tree tops, and the woodpecker
plays chop sticks on the gate post.
These romances come TO us all in the
course of our pilgrimage through this
mundane sphere; and whether we are
young and green as persimmon, mid
die aged or streaked With tue gray
hairs of declining years--under what
eyer conditions of life we may be, they
creep upon us as uasuspectingly as the
sigh of the west wind, and fill our
minds with visions more alluEing than
the dreams that delight us In the soft
siesta of summers day. When our
fellow sufferer escapes from his impris-
onment he will return, like the dove TO
Noah's ark, but the olive branch will
be in his heart and not In his bill.
So here's health TO you, my boy,
May bliss by yours without alloy;
And may you be triumphant yet,
And take the step you'll ne'er regret
