The New Orleans Morning Stal
and Catholic Messenger don't mince
its words. Hear it:
"Murphy j. Foster dominated the
convention, and as a result of his
bossism Heard was nominated for
governor. The presence of Foster in
Louisiana politics is a menace to the
liberty. of free thinking men, and the
nomination of Heard is a direct re-
buke to independence in matters con-
corning the commonwealth. Now is
time for honest opposition to bossism
TO come forth. 1t seems a pity that
the right men can not come to the
front and rid Louisiana forever of the
evils resulting from bosses and their
accomplices."

tains in that section, like the noun
tains here, were infested with bandits
who lived upon plundering stragglers,
no matter of what politics. And it was
gang of these reckless rulfians into
which they ran.- They were in n spring
wagon driven by u negro, who had all
along shown himself to be an arrant
coward. The first notification of dan
ser was the sudden appearance from
the bushes of half dozen armed men,
who demanded that the party alight
that the vehicle might be searched.
Evidently Capt. Lancaster, who hap
pened to be holding the child in his
arms, thought that immediate obedi-
ence was best, so he got out, telling the
men that he had in his pockets all the
money and valuables the wagon con-
tanned. lie was still holding the child
on one arm and opening his pockets
with another when the negro, seeing
that the robbers were not noticing the
wagon, whipped up the horses and
drove away at full speed Mrs. Lancas-
ter tried to stop him, but he was wild

head and applied the lash. The woln-
an was helpless; the negro was strong
and half insane. She argued with him
and pleaded With him to stop and let
her out, but he drove on like 4 mailman.
1t was not till they bad reached farm
| house nine miles from the scene Of the
robbery that she induced the negro to
stop Here they were received by fam
lily in which. there was one man too old
to do service in the war. lie said he
was willing TO do what he could for her,
but that the 'bushwhackers,' who were
power in the land, would hang him if
he molested their plans. lie went out
to see if he could get together any OF
his neighbors who would help her, but
when he returned at dusk he brought
the intelligence that he could find no.
body who would dare take hand in
such an enterprise. She spent that
night in the farmhouse and the next
day she drove back absolutely alone il
search of her husband and child. Near
the spot where she had been separated
from them she found her husbands hat
the little cap worn by the baby, stained
with blood, and pool of blood by the
roadside. She spent all that day alone
on that road and returned at night tc
the farmhouse. Here she stayed {
month making inquiries and searches
in all directions for more conclusive
proof of the death of her child an6
husband. Finally the old farmer came
to her one day with the report that one
of the robbers had just died and tina

was not the colonel's habit to dress for
the evening meal, especially in the hot
season, so he still wore his cool suit of
brown linen, and, in this respect, Mr..
Hardy was glad to keep him company,
as he had really come to the country for
an easy, unceremonious outing. The
colonel liked nothing better than good
listeners, and, as he slipped his wine
and smoked, his pink complexion fair
ly shone while he discoursed on favor

virtues of the only lady guest in his
house, Mrs. Lancaster, a snowy-haired
widow not far from the colonel's age.

gentleman appealed to. II think 1

odds the most exclusive woman in the

been sad one; she has revealed the
great grief of her life to very few, and
then only to her most intimate friends.
She had been married 10 Lancaster only
about two years when the first shot
from Fort. Sumter set his blood on
fire. He was one of the first in South
Carolina to offer his services, and as he
had had some military training and was
highly educated he was made captain
of company. lie made good record
but was taken i'll when his regiment
was stationed at little town in the
mountains of East Tennessee and was
ordered home on furlough. AS it was
in the month of August, Mrs. Lancaster
thought that the climate of Charles
ton would not be so good for him as that
of Tennessee, so she telegraphed him to
wait and she would join him. She met
him with her only child, baby in
arms, and they started through the
mountains TO retreat that had been
recommended to them as Il highly suit

they met with the catastrophe which
blighted her whole life. The noun

the ladies had left. TO smoke and drink
their wine. The windows of the big din
