An Ugly State of Affairs.

Daily Item.
Tangipahoa parish is at present
disgrace to the State. But few
months ago there was man muir
dered within it's confines; then
came the slaughter of the Cotton
family, and within the past few
days two other murders. The par
ish now presents the appearance
of an armed camp. Last week an
attempt was made to STAY two la
dies in Livingston parish. They
were badly injured.
This is an urgly record for the
Florida parishes murder rampant
in two of them and it is the duty
of the authorities to leave no stone
unturned to bring the offenders to
Justice. They owe it to them
selves, to the State. Upon them
largely depends the continuation
or cessation Of crimes so heinous.
If offenders find that those unto
whose hands is entrusted the en-
forcement of the law are careless
or Indifferent in the performance
of their duties, they become boil
der and holder in the commission
of crime, and finally snap their
fingers at the law, altogether.
The Item desires to see the State
make reputation for itself in the
matter of law and order. This
would give it distinction and at,
tract myriads to it. Climate and
soil has Louisiana, but proper re-
spect for law it has not always
shown. Let there be a reforma.
tiun, by all means.

A reporter recently called at this famous

When last seen by the reporter Prof. Barnaby
was in delicate health, and much indisposed.
To-day he was looking we'll and hearty, and
to an inquiry. the professor said
ooh, yes, 1 am much better, assure you,
than for some time. You see had hard
time of 1t for several years. / am now in

and then my recovery was brought about in

"Tell me about it, !" said the reporter.
"Well, to begin at the beginning" said the
professor, II was about as stout a lad for my

myself for the professions. After completing
the common course came here, and graduated
from the theological course. / then entered
the ministry, and accepted the charge Of q
United Brethren Church at small place in
Kent County, Mich. Being of an ambitious
nature, was a constant student, and applied
myself very diligently to my work and studies.
In time began to notice that my health was
failing, and after awhile it began to interfere
with my duties. My first trouble was indi.
gestion Of the stomach, and this with other
troubles also brought on nervousness.
"My physician prescribed for me for some
time, and advised me to take change of eli.

did as he requested and was some improved.
Soon after this came here. was professor

seemed to agree with me, and for awhile my
health was better, but my duties were heavy,
