A Scoundrel Roughly Handled.

The Jeanerette Times give the fol-
lowing account of one Furrate, who
some years ago while drumming for
a New Orleans house created quite a
autter in coon town by clipping to
Lafayette with three dusky, chocolate
colored damsels. He was finally 10
Gated at Lafayette and the girls were
recovered:
"The town was unexpectedly given
a slight rifle of excitement yesterday
morning by the public cowhiding of
Wedland Furrate by Chas. Agul-
lard, which occurred out at the depot
in the presence of a number of peo-
pie. The cause of the trouble is the
fact that the former man, who con-
Quoted a wholesale produce store at
this place, made improper and indie
cent overtures to an innocent little
school girl about II years Of age, the
adopted daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Aguliiard. He had repeatedly
written notes and spoken to the little
girl, offering insulting proposals, and
on Thursday the impudent rascal had
the audacity to hand her another let
ter on Main street and in the pres
ence of her uncle, the contents of
which fully justified Mr.. Agulliard in
delivering a sound iogging to the
man. Furrate is reported to have
anything but a clean reputation and
it is also said on good authority that
he has been forced to leave several
towns on account of bad conduct.
While here he posed as a gentleman
and seemed to act in that manner,
being well respected by many until
his recent nefarious actions. He was
given notice to leave town yesterday
evening, but while in the justice
court room declared his intention of
staying. Since then however, he has
left, and if he has any respect for
public feeling will not return. This
affair IS to be greatly regretted by the
community owing to certain circum-
stances in the case"

It looks strange, says the st. Mar
tins Messenger, to e how many of
our people are opposed to capital
punishment, when brought in court
in a serious and long trial. The
others have formed their opinion on
nothing at all !; we believe it IS simply
an excuse to dodge the jury duty,
and if the Judge would only give the
ssopinioned formed jurors ten days
in jail or ten dollars fine he would
soon cure them of this bad habit, and
would do away with that lying in
court. Some of those innocent an
gels who are against capital punish
ment would be the first to lead a
gang of lawless men to hang a poor
defenseless fellow upon any imagin-
airy accusation. Some may be SIM
cere, but the majority of them r not.
Mr.. Markham's most recent poem,
The Muse Of Brotherhood, is one of
the few really great poems that the
closing years of the century have pro-
duced. In it Mr.. Markham voices
a lofty optimism that is at once more
impressive and more convincing than
the notes of hopelessness and despair
that characterize The Man with the
Hoe. At the same time he nobly sets
forth the principles of that universal
brotherhood which says:
my love is higher than heavens where
Taurus wheels,
My love is deeper than the pillared
skies:
High as that peak in Heaven where Mil
ton kneels,
Deep as that grave in He'll where Cesar
lies.s

death.-St. Martinville Messenger.
The deceased resided in this parish

tempt to escape Wednesday night.
Some one had furnished several large
files to the prisoners and they were
attempting to file the. bars, when
Louis Schnexsnyder, alias Toussaint,
one Of the prisoners, began to yell
for the sheriff. His loud cries soon
attracted a crowd and deputy-sherif
j. Cleomer Broussard going through
the jail discovered the files and Sc
cured them. It is said that Toussaint
had been bribed to keep silent-and
but for his perfdy the plot would
have succeeded.
