PRICE WITHDRAWS.

The withdrawal of Will Price from the Gubernatora race
leaves almost open field to Hon Newton G. Blanchard,
of Caddo the atters announced opponent being Gen
Leon Jasremsk the weknown and able veteran Journal
is
At the present moment all signs point to Blanchard :
leading the race and appears be the OF opinion
pretty much throughout the State that h will be
the Democratic nominee and thence elected Chief Execu
tive.
While the withdrawal of Price not entirely unex-
peced by the politicians it proved quite surprise to the
people throughout the State and many of his loyal sup
porers those who expected him to make gallant fight
The campaign is in earnest and much interest IS
manifest almost every hand to the final out
come.
The Picayune, edtorially has the following o
say:
Mr Price sets forth the for his act business
engagements of such magnitude would prevent his giving
strenuous and holly contested campaign the undivided
attention that such contest would demand In word,
the and long continued illness of his brother Hon.
Andrew Price who is absent in distant State under medi-
care has devoved upon him the entire burden
tensiye planting and other business interests of his brother
lin addition to his large business affairs
f the campaign had promised to be going race
The might possibly have continued his candidacy but in
view of the urgent work and the undivided attention that
would have been required under the existing circumstances,
Mr. Price has not felt able to give it the whole of his time
nor has he been willing to impose upon his friends
acting and laborous task The field will therefore be left
to Judge Blanchard and essrs Fitzpatrick and Brewster
and to any candidate who may undertake oppose that
combination.
"As to the Picayunes advocacy of Mr. Prices candidacy
it has nothing regret that has been brought to an
unmely end AS stated at the time it was undertaken
strictly and solely because there opportunity de-
feat the politicians who had held this city under their con-
troll for quarter of a century"

 Animals and P0isonw

Certain substances which are deadly in their effects upon men can be taken by the brute creation with impunity. Horses can take large doses of anti mony, dogs of mercury, goats of tobac- 70, mice of hemlock and rabbits of bel ladonna, without injury. On the other hand, dogs and cats are much mora susceptible to the influence of chloro- form than man, and are much sooner killed by it. If this invaluable anaes- thetic had been first tried upon ami mals we should probably have never enjoyed its blessings, as it would have been found to be so fatal that it's dis coverers would have been afraid to test it's effects upon human beings. It is evident, then, that an experiment up- on an animal can never be the means of any certain deductions so far as man is concerned.--Family Doctor.

 The idea is preposterous. You are evidently losing your wits, sir. Such betrayal of trust on your part could not be to your credit. deny it in toto."
 "You also deny in toto that there was any such agreement?" "Most emphatica1ly. Lawyer Everett now took from his pocket yellow paper which he light ly shook at the witness as he pro- pounded the next question: "When you came. to my house that evening, Colonel, had just had the agreement, whose existence you de- ny, copied on an old piece of paper and dried thoroughly before the fire to conceal it's age.

Now you can refresh your memory suf- ficientIy to tell whether this is your signature appended to this paper, and to reconsider your denial of it's existence"
 Franklin clutched the paper which the lawyer politely extended to him, and then pitiable appearance of de- feat seemed to shrivel him up.
 He glanced at the lawyer and pre- served dogged silence: tion,H said the lawyer. blandly.

 s"Twenty-fve thousand dollars" ssWas it bona fide sale?"
 ''It was"
 "And you paid Wright $25,ooo?" "About that sum-"
 "What do you mean by that?' . "He owed me something for legal services, which was credited on the amount?" "what is all this property worth now?"
 "It has increased very largely in value in 20 years, as matter of course.' 5,q..,.,
 "What figure do you put upon it?' sI should say that 1t was worth between $2oo,ooo and $s0o,ooo."
 "Of course that does not include the Colorado tract?"
 "Well, no; I was not thinking of that"
 'What is that worthy"
 "That is impossible to say"
 "You have some idea2" s eff it should prove to contain gold 1t would be a very valuable piece of land. If it contains no precious met Rls should not think 1t was worth song"
 "Is it worth $1o,ooo, ,ooo7" asked the lawyer, quietly.
 .sWhy, sir, could not place any valuation on piece of land I have never seen and that has never been mined"
 "Well, I'll put the question in an- other way. If you could show clear title to that mining tract could you not sell it at once for $5,ooo,ooo cash?''
 Franklin looked at his questioner keenly for moment, but the latter was casually examining the contents of letter as if he were preparing to prepound another query from something he found therein. The wit ness answered somewhat savagely:
 aYes.'
 Couldn't you easily get $1o,ooo, ,ooO for that property?"
 t'I suppose I could"
 There was tremendous sensation in court when Franklin, with evident reluctance, made this admission.
 "You have recently, believe, been in correspondence with capitalists re- garding the Colorado tract?"

message would reach him. He gave an address and went away.
 Then the preacher sat down to think the matter over. He knew of no work that he could find for the man, but he decided to invent a job.
 This gentle fiction could continue until something turned up, and in the meantime the unfortunate one would not have to be humiliated by knowing that he was living on charity.
 Accordingly the next day the preach CT sent a message to the luckless man, saying:
 "Come9at once. I have a position for you. We need 8 man to clean our schoorhouse and keepit.i in order"
 He received an immediate reply as follows:
 Sorry can't come. I have to march with the unemployed to-day. Would tomorrow do?'

 May it please your Honor, the wit ness announces that he will hold me to account for the charge implied in my question. I am entirely willing that he should do so. Herbert Wright's defense is that the murder CT of John T. Wright is James Frank lin, and"
