A Delightful Outing.

A number of young ladies and
young gentlemen from town we're the
pleasant guests Of a party Of picnic
ers from around Lafourche Crossing
and Ariel out on Grand Bayou last
Sunday.
The day was beautiful and the
landscape was u picture of loveliness
varied as it was with uumberless tints
and hues of blossoms and flowers.
The woods through which Grand
Bayou peace fully courses was enliv'
ened with the sweet carols Of hum
dreds of vying songsters and rang
with the continuous innocent laughter
of the merry makers. The gentle
breeze which we're IN motion, were
sufficiently strong and refreshing as
to rob the millions of sulbcsms of
their unpleasant warmth. Nature
was at full play and all her creatures
seemed to rejoice with her in her
jubilatiOns.
The day was Delightfully."- spent in
fishing, bunting. frolicking and va
rious other amusements.
Every body present had such q
pleasant time that it will always be
worth the while of remembering

large part Of his practice has slipped
out of his hands. When the "gone
by" physician wakes up to the reals
state Of things, he attributes it to
anything but tile true cause, his own
non. .progressiveness.
The O!d fashioned farmer does not
believe in "newfangled" ideas aud
modern farming implements, or in
studying the chemistry Of the soil.
He thinks, because his father raised
corn and potatoes on the same peace
of ground for twenty years, thus
wearing it out, that he should keep on
doing the same. He does not believe
in Natures law Of rotation Of crops,
and he trudges along in the beaten
track of his ancestors, barely getting
a living, while his enterprising neigh.
Dor, who owns an adjoining farm Of
similar quality, BY mixing brains
with the soil, and adopting the latest,
up.to,date methods, performs miracles
on his land, making himself and his
family comfortable and happy, aud at
the same time enjoying his work and
increasing his knowledge.
Many instances could be given of
able artists who have gained consider
able reputation 10 this country, as
well as abroad, but have been side
tracked because they have failed to
adopt the new methods Of color
scheme and drawing, as they have
come into vogue. They have clung
to the old methods, refusing to
change, and have been left behind in
the Onward march. We know Of one
old artist who has gained a good re.
putatiOn by his method Of careful
detail IN finish. He was proud Of
the fact that even q maguifying glass
could scarcely detect his paint. He
prided himself on erasing the traces
of his effortA- His pictures were
really wonderful in their correctness
Of detail; but, when the impressionism
of the new school became the fashion,
he fought it with all his might, re-
fused to adopt the "newfangled'
method, denounced the impressionists
as defamers of true art, and was com
PEELED to face old age in poverty and
comparative obscurity. He had been
sidetracked because of his failure to
adopt up-to'date methods.
A young man going into a profes'
sion or business, to-day, should spend
considerable time going about from
Office to Office, store to store, Or fac
tory to factory according to what be
intends to take up, iu order to study
the secrets of the successful men Ia
these various lines of human endea
! vor. He will find that old methods,
old machinery, old styles, are beng
discarded everywhere by the most
successful; that those who cling to
outworn theories and antiquated ways
of dong business are being practical
ly sidetracked. He will recognize
that unwilliugness to adopt new and
intelligent ideas, no matter whether
in law or medicine. tbeater or pulpit
store or factory, is an indication OF
paralysis, the slgnboard that points
in the direction Of hopeless medIocrity
or failure. He will see that those
who attain the highest success art
the most progressive, the most ag
gresslve and up'to'date in everything

THREW WEE INTO WELL.
Mississippi Husband Then Mar
ried Another Woman.

A shocking crime which occurred at
West Point, Miss, over three weeks
ago, when Geo. McQuirter threw his
wife head first into an old well and
drowned her and three days later
married another woman, has just come
to light. McQuirter's father-in-law
swore out a warrant before Judge Mar
tin charging McQuirter with bigamy,
also stating he was anxious about his
daughter, not being able to learn of
her Whereabouts.
McQuirter was put under bond TO
appear at court and had no more than
been released when the finding of a
body in we'll near McQuirter's home
was reported. He was committed to
Jail. The sheriff also conveyed the
prisoner to the scene, where he con-
fessed the crime and stated that he did
not either strike or choke his wife but
threw her bodily head first into the
we'll, stating as his reason that he
wanted to marry the other woman and
had not sufficient means TO obtain d.
vOrce.
The crime was committed on the
night of May 16.

A special to the Seattle Times from

an account of most thrilling nature

at Mt. Blackburn. Instantly it SEEM

Advices from Fort de France, Island
of Martinique, under date of June 3
say: George KEENAN,, accompanied BY
Messrs. Jaccaci and Varian, arrived
here at II o'clock this morning after
an absence of II days. Prof. Angelo
Heilprin, president of the Philadelphia
Geographical Society. who is in Martl'
nique under the auspices of the Ma
tional Geological Society, and Mr..
Ledbetter are expected to reach Fort
de France tonight.
Prof. Heilprin, Mr.. KEENAN, and Mr.
Varian have assembled Mont Peiee.
They stood on the very edge OF the
crater and looked down on the incan-
descent mass within. This ascent was
made last Monday and was the second
time Professor Heilprin climbed the
mountain. All the explorers are In
perfect health and good spirits. No
accidents occurred on the trip no the
mountain, although the explorers were
exposed to many hardships and dan
gers.
In an interview with the correspond
ent of the Associated Press MIR. Ken
nan said:
Five OF us started for the crater OF
the volcano last Sunday, and three OF
us reached our object. We crossed
Lake Palmiste, which is now dry and
full of boulders and huge ragged rocks.
We then climbed up and reached the
edge of the crater. We found it to be
huge chasm or crevasse, with per-
pendicular walls. We could not see
down into the crater more than loo
feet; it was like looking into white
hot furnace. The chasm opens out to-
wards ST. Pierre, but the enormous
columns of steam cut off the view in
that direction. There were hundreds
of fumarOles all about us. What was
thought To be cone of cinders in the
crater was learned in reality to be a
huge pile of gigantic rocks. There
were traces of sulphur everywhere.
We saw no ashes or cinders in or near
the crater. The whole vast bed OF the

emitting steam through thousands of
orifces.
