[ Special to Tun JJr.B.J The oil llclds of Wyoming prom ise moro to tlio speculator nnd In vestor than any section of equal area upon the American continent , 'ilio great important oil belt has Its cat torn terminus near Casper on tlio North Platte river , In the noAV county of Natrona , and runs west in a northwesterly direction to Lander , In Fremont county , n illstaiico of 135 miles. With two exceptions , this Is a continuous nml well defined oil basin. Tnoso two ex ceptions have bbi'n caused by spurs or cross ranges that savored the regular deposits of the three sands that now hold the preat vol I umes ot oil In that Held. Oil Is founa first in llio Fox Hills snnd , which varies in ilenth from the surfaca according to the physical conditions of the different basins , known us thoSemlnolo , UaUlesimkc , Uoavnr anil Shn- shone or Popoago oil basins. The depth to the Fox Hills sands varies from ROD foot to 1,200 foot. The next formation the drill en counters is ttio Fort Uenton which overlies the Dakota Bands , In which the oil is nousnn is OHI\T : .vnrxiuxac. In this sand there are two divisions or horizons izons containing oil the upper and lower oil nunilR. This entire siiml varies from GO foot to GOO fcot , which Is the thickest oil sand known In any oil llelO on tlio K'ubu ' , capable ornolilhifT and yielding from 1COO(1UO ( to 3,000,000 bar/cls to the acre. Oil has been found In larpo quantities wherever this formation bus been pierced by the drill , and so far each nnd every well 19 a snoulcr , throwing oil from thirty to sev enty fcot hlgti , with Immense quantities of gas behind IU 'lue thrca flowing Avclta at. or neur Lander , bolonginp to Samuel K.

In the center of * this bolt thoru are three or four oilier wells being drilled. Tlio Northwestern Coal und Oil company U down UOU feet and has strnck oil in tlio llr.st saml , uiul will continue to thu third sand and produce n gusher. The Fremont company is Just entering the second sand nnd nave n nice ( low of oil , but will not , ccaso drilling until It has gone sotno distance into the third sand , which will produce AX iMML'Nsu rr.owjxo wcr.r , , because the physical conditions surrounding the locution warrant it. Tlio Oil Mountain Petroleum company struck ijas nnd lost Its tooh hi iho well some eleven hundred feet deep. The Uesscmcr Oil company Ia down with n well ever ono thousand feet deep , but owing to the physical conditions of the loca tion will necessarily have to drill at least twenty-live hundred feet to reach tlio third Huutl. This well in inside the limits of this frontier city on * the Plattc , nnd when this well is fully completed It. Will furnish both 'Oil nnd fjns enough for several years to come. The light and fuel to bo used in this region along this entire , belt will bo as free as the nil' wo breathe , ns millions of cubic.foct of'lt wastes daily. Too great est pas companies of Wyoming will "bo sup plied from this region , as well as the oil , which will bo delivered to I'll parts of the United Htntcs nna throughout tlio world. This Hold is now dully visited by some of most practical and successful oil men of Pennsylvania , representing Individual in terests as well as oil companies who intend pulling down wells curly next summer. The Standard has her henchmen occasionally viowlug the district , but tlioy mostly travel lu-cog" , yet the western oil mnn can begin to rend them nnd can shadow them until ho reaches hla home , wherever It may bo.

Harshn's sermon last night wns taken from the last chapter of the Hrst boolcof Kings , fort } -ninth verso : "Lot my servants go with thy servants In the ships ; but .lehoiaphal would not. " The pastor spoke as follows ; The last thing a man doa * before he dies Is always remembered. His friends tell about it , nnd if ho bo n great mnn It is re membered by the world. Everybody has not road Ooctho's Faust , but everybody knows thnt when Qootha' came to dlo ho cried : "Moro light I Moro light I" Few people ple In our day buvo read the philosophical writings ol Hobbs , but all thu world knows how ho wailed just bcforo 1m died : "Oh , for a hole to creep out of the world nil" Ono of the pioneers of Oiiiahu , Hav. William Mc- Candllah , just before he died curried a bible to a poor womnn. I would like to do some thing like that as my farewell to the world. That Is a beautiful legacy to leaveto one's children und to the city In which ono lids been living. In the text you have the last thing Jchosuphat did. It ia singular thnt so small n thing should bo mentioned ns thu lust act of a great klug. Wo should expect tliat Homo grout battle , or kingly exploit , or naval engagement ( for Jchosaphat was great as a ship builder , ) or nt least nn net of royal clemency would bo written np in the annuls of the kingdom us thu lust deed of Iho great and good ruler whoso name is venerated to the present da ) ' . Hut the bible is full of surprises , nnd hero is ono of thorn. King Jehosaptiat U bustloil oft the stage of lifo with the apparently trivial statement that he wouldn't allow his servants to go In the same boat with the servants of a rival king. To understand this wo must go into the history of the times a little. The great .low- ish nation was divided into two small states , ono called Israel nnd the other Juduh. Jc- hosaplmt was king of the ; latter , and Ahn- ziab of the former. Now this Ahnziab was a bad man , and the good king nf .luilah did not want to have anything to do with him. An d what ho kept himself from , ho tried to keep his servants from. Jcho.su- phat was not like some parents who have ono rule of conduct for themselves and quite u different ono for their children ; or some husbands who will usolunguugc and do deeds at which they would bo qulto shocked to lind their wives using or doing. Hero , nt the start , thcro is a lesson for us to learn from good King .Tchosoplmt , viz : Wo should not expect moro of others than wo de mand of ourselves , nor shot'ld wo put others in positions where wo do. not vyant to go. out- selves. Thus my text introduces us to the subject of Dad alliances. To bo iu tbo same bout with people is a very strong Hguro of speech , and by it we indicate tha most intimate asso ciation. Jehoslmuhut's principle isugoodonu in domestic alliances. When a vicious young man asks n pure Christian girl to comu into tha matrimonial boat and voyage witn him through life , the answer ought always to bo : " \Vo cannot go In that" boat together. " I have known young ladies to attempt to re form bad men by marrying thorn , bull never "nnewonu to succeed. Instead of helping iho men up , the uniform consequence was that tbo wives were drawn down. If your lover will not stop drinking for love of you during the passionate courtship days , "ho will scarcely do so after the humdrum of life has begun. The princlnle of the text applies also to business alliances. It is always best for true and boncst men to keep out of association with ornfty and tricky men. Instead of christianizing them , they will bo very apt to heathenize you. And it will bo u constant simrco of griet and shame to you that you are sharing the gums of your partner's ' fraud anil trickery. There is a lesson hero , also , as to social alliances. A man is rarely batter than the company ho habitually kocps. Uirds of a feather fly in the same proves , aud animals of like tastes run together on the sumo hills. Tell mo the company a man keeps and I will mauo a shrewd guess ns to his character. We read in tha book of Acts of certain men who , "Uoing Iqt go , they went to their own company. " And it is always so. Free youni ; men from restraint and they will drift into the society they mostly lovo. How import ant It is for us to form helpful , Christian as sociations I Do not let any man laugh you out of your Integrity by calling you a prude. Hettoibe that tlrin u rake or n drunkard. The Latins hud u saying : "If you alv.iys live with thosu who uro luuio , you will your self louru to lluip. " Cnmo Into thu good gospel ship ! The shin that Johoslmplmt built , went down on tlm rouks of Ezlon-gebor , but tlia bark of Christ is sure to gain tlio heavenly harbor in safety. She may bo battered somewhat by the gales of this present wintry sea , but shoahall have nn "abundant ontranco" into the port of pcueo. Como into the ark of safety I The servants of Ahiuluh were not welcome , but no poor sinner was ever thrust away from the boat of which Christ Is the great captuln.

Itl-j\lsts ItcUvccn JCartiH mill HiH Do : ; Companion. No blcetch of Rarus would bo complete without boino mention of his romnrlca- jlo friendship for a dog , says a writer n tbo Atlantic Monthly. 'When the horse was in California a fireman gave to Splan a wiry-haired Scotch terrier [ Hij > , who was then two months old and weighed when full grown only two pounds. Splan in turn gave the pup to Dave , the groom of Rtirua , with the cau tion not to lot tlio horse hurt him , for on several occasions Rarus had bitten dogs that had ventured into his stall. But to this terrier , who ia described as p03 > bsaing"almost human intelligence , " the trotter toolc a great fancy , which Iho dog fully returned. They became- fast and inseparable friends. "Not only , " said Mr. Splan , "woro they extremely fond of each other , but they showed their alToction plainly ns did ever a man for a woman. Wo never took any pains to teach the dog any thing about the horse. Everything ho know came to him by his own patience. From the time 1 took him to the stable a. pup until I sold Rums they were never separated an hour. Wo once loft the dog in the stall while wo took thohorbO to the blacksmith shop , and when wo came back wo found he had made havoc with everything there was in there trying to got out , while the horse , dur ing the entire journey , was uneasy , restless , nnd In general noted as badly ns the dog did. Dave remarked Unit ho thought we had bettor keep the hor.se and dog together after that. When Rarns wont to the track for ex ercise or to trot a race the dog would follow Dave around and sit by the gate at his bide watching Rarus with 119 much interest as Dave did. When the horse returned to the stable after a heat nnd was unchecked , the dog would walk up and nlimb up on his forward legs nnd kiss him , the horse always bonding his houd down to receive the caress. In the stable , after work was overall in and the horse would often frolic lilco two boys. If the horse lay down Jim would climb on his back , and in that way soon learned to ride him , nnd wl orover lied Kurds out to show him to the public Jim invariably know what it meant , nnd it enhanced tbo value of the performance by the manner in which ho would got on the horse's back. On these ocutisionn the horse was shown the halter , and Jimmy , who learned to distinguish these events from those in whiali the sulky was u&od , would follow Dave and Rarus out to the quarter stretch , and then , when the halt was made in front of the grand bland. Dave would stoop down aud in a flash Jhmnio would jump on bin back , run up to his shoulder , from there leap on the horse's back , anil there ho would bland , bis licnd high in the nir nnd his tail out fctlir behind , barking furiously at the people. " When Rurus was sold to Mr. I3onnor Splan t-ont Jimmy with the horse , rightly judging that it would bo cruel to Hotmrato them. Hut in Mr. Monitor's hlablo there was a bull turrlei in charge , and one day when , for some real or fan cied cfTront , the etnnll dog ntlnclcod the larger ono , tbo latter took Jimmy by the nock and was fast Killing him , but Rurus hoard his outcries , und perceiv ing that his little friend wns in danger and distress , pulled buck on the halter till ic broke , rushed out of his stall and would have made short work of the bull terrier had he not boon restrained by the grooms.

As compared with former prices , those now olTcrcdor hogs nro quite low , but when the present nnd prospective prlco of corn is in ic on into nccount , wo doubt if Ihoro is anything thnt will yield u hotter profit on the corn ihnu woll-breil pigs. Bays the Iowa Honiostoad.Vosay nigs , for the profit in feeding hogs never consists in keeping them until full grown , Oxcopt for brooding purposed , but in turning thorn off nt thnt weight nt which they they will pny for tholceop of the dnm and yield the largest price for the food consumed. Farmers do not always understand the law which gov erns this. They often say that a , pig takes on weight more rapidly after it weighs two hundred pounds than before , nnd many of them regard this as the moat profitable feeding period. In this they are mistaken.While the fact is often as they state it , yet not half hnvo any iccans to dolormlno how much the pig eats as compared to what it ute be fore it weighed two hundred pounds , and hence have not the data for a correct conclusion. The law of animal lifo which has been fully , elab orately and completely demonstrated with regard to swine is that the younger and lighter the animal other things being equal the greater amount of gain is nuulo from a given amount of food. A young , plg , for InsUinuo. just after weaning time , will maho thirteen pounds of gnm from a bushel of corn , or its equivalent in oats or bran , while a hog of 800 pounds will scarcely make over seven or eight. The reason of the law is equally obvious. It takes mo'-o to repair the waste on 200 pounds of carcass than it does on 150 , and tills fooa of support' must bo taken out of the amount consumed before there can bo any gain. The animal economy is a good deal like the foreman of the Arkansas jury. "Gontleinon of tlio jury , " said the judge , "have you found a verdict ? " -"Judge , ' ' re plied the foreman , ' "tliis jury linds for itself. Give mo a quarter , and thpn I will render our ver dict. " After the' animal hont bus boon maintained anjV he waste repaired , the surplus , and Qtiiyj surplus , gees into in crease. In tlio I'tA'ciity-iiro pound pig this is very smill ; , and hence it makes more pounds olgain. It will not pny to turn oil pigs a'l- ono hundred pounds weight nt PpiflCj prices , because they should be clwugtyl with lirst r.oHt , being the keep ami jinlorest on the value of the dnni ; but w.hen they reach two hun dred pounds , the incrcasingcost of gain makes it more profitable , under ordi nary circumstances , to turn them olt and begin with a' now slock. With corn and pork at 'present prices , there is still a reasonable margin of profit. It may bo tr o tlfat tho" price will go lowur , and may for a time roiluco the profits to a Bipull margin , but the inevitable evitableresuliswf this is to increase consumption , jofr pock ' 'products and restrict production 'in oabtorn states. Pork raising nt present prices is profit able only whore there is cheap corn. Iioolc After the IM r. "The pig in the dairy , " is the way some of them put it , and it docs not sound very attractiyo. At the same time the pig was in his proper place in the dairy , and that is to consume the by-products , the skim-milk and batter- milk , says the American Dairyman. The great trouble is to get him near enough to mnko it con von ion t to feed him the milk and at the same time not to get too much of his odorifcous character - actor , for the pig docs know how to make things smell bad. A dcrnd dog is not a circumstance to a live pig for irct- ting up a villainous compound of disa greeable smells if ho is allowed to have his own way. Wo would locate the pen as far as possible from tlio dairy , and in the direction that the pre vailing winds blow. This precau tion should bo taken even when the butter is tnado by the submerged or separator plan , for when the cream has to bo handled it is sure to absorb all the foul odors that como in its way. Hogs , when properly handled and fed the fakiimned milk with corn , will mnko a line profit , provided the market for pork does not ' 'slump" on you just as jrou are ready to sell. If a fateady demand for the 'pork can bo had , such as a hotel , and if young hogs are chosen , there is very certain to bo a good profit. _ Talc nan Invoice. This is a good time of the year to take an invoice of your "horso stock" and see what you havo. on hand and what it is worth , bays the Nebraska Farmor. If nmny of our good farmers were asked suddenly how many horses they owned and thu value of the same it is doubtful if they could give u doll- nivc answer. An invoice now would post you up on this matter ; besides it might open your eyes on Eomo points in a way that would surprise you. It might show you that you wore doing a business of a few thousand dollar * per year , perhaps , with nearly that amount of money in vested in horse flesh alone to assist you in your operations. If farming is a busi ness , and it should bo considered nq nothing else , thou the capital invested in every branch of farming should bo accounted for. > f3y taking nn inventory now you may discover that yon have a surplus , and that you can dispose of bomu of your stWck to advantage. Count the cost of keeping your horses per head during tlio coining winter , and if you have any reason for believing that they will not bo worth that much moro to you next fipring , tlio.1i your beat plan will bo to get rid of wintering thorn.

HUUH oiliiTa tire too foul and the tuba are sot on the bottom to absorb the earth odors as well ns those floating in the air. The place where butter is stored cannot bo toodry and sweet nnd must bo cool , Comparatively few , however , keep butter tor nt homo. They send it directly to market nnd it is stored there , where the same fate awaits it , unless It is at once sold to the consumer. Cream ery butter and nil butter mndo of very sour cream and not very carefully washed and worked free of caseous matter - tor soon gets an "old" tnsto , nnd than a positively bad ono. The roll butter of the country fares tovcn worse. It is carelessly thrown Into nn open box or barrel , with butter of all grades and col ors. , and of course is soon spoiled , however - ever nlco it may bo at first. Perhaps the open box or barrel in which it is stored is surrounded with codfish , knro- sono , plug tobacco , smoked fish and meats , and all sorts of malodorous things. The country storekeeper is to blame for this careless handlingbuttho poor butter inakor gets nil the curses and iv very poor price for her butter which receives this sort of cat and doer treatment. But why does she not send her cream lo a creamery ? There are many thousanda who are not situated so they can. The good housewife has a lit tle surplus loft that ia not required for family use. It is nlco nnd palatable. She wants.i : few small articles from the store nnd so it is consigned to the "shoo box. " This is the way that "storo but- tor" is thrown upon the market. Full 1M an tin ir and llcnllnc Tree * . Both full and spring hnvo tholr ndvo- catcsns times for planting. Probably the proper answer is something 11 kb the reply of the old orchnrdist to the question. "When is the proper time to pruno'i1" Ills answer was , "Whoa you have iv good sharp knife. " So In plant ing , the time when the trees are in best condition , when the ground is mellow nnd moist , and wlron the planter can best plant the trees , is the best time , says the Western Stockman and Cultivator. For fruit and ornamental trees fall planting will average as suc cessful as spring planting. In case you cannot jilant , in the fall , or if von do not believe in planting at that time , there is great advantage in gottingyour trees iu the fall for spring planting. These may bo " 'heeled in" during tlio winter , and will then be on hand at just tlio lime you are ready for thorn in the spring. "In "heeling" the trees for winter the bundles should bo entirely opened , eo that the earth may bo sifted among the roots. Throw out a trench a foot deep and slant ono side oft to nn angle of thirty degrees. Lay the trees on the slantintr side in thin layers. From the other side of the trench throw enough cartu to cover the tree tops , roots and all , three or four inches deep. Place another layer of trues on top of the first and proceed as before , taking pains to sift the earth in thoroughly about the roots nnd bodies of the trees. YV hen the last , layer is on cover to the doptii of at least a foot. Jf you never tried this plan you will bo surprised to find bow fresh the trees will be in the spring. The cuts on the roots will bo nicely healed.nnd everything ill bo favorable for an immediate and strong growth. I'osls of tlio [ 'onltry Ilnii o. Miss E. IJidgowood writes in the American Agriculturist that it is easier to shut out cats and dogs from winter chickens than from these iu bummer coons , but they are always to bo feared in brooding houses. The writer's ex perience makes her dread rats as pow erful foes , countlobs. ruthlofes , cruel and endlessly greedy. If there is a satnn in the world of poultry , ho surely must " take the form of Bisnop Hatto's"execu tioners. Of course they can bo de feated , but it is difllcult to guard against enemies which are such engineers at sawing and tunneling. They are responsible for many crimes charged to minks , often hilling half grown pullets when huncrior than usual. Once on moving to H farm witli old outbuildings , fifty baby chicks were taken by rats before tlioy could bo protected , and then after the brooding boufae was occu pied , cats , rcgnrdod us allies , got in at the windows and killed twenty more. Fine wire netting is a safeguard against rats , which after all are not really reasonable beings. It bewilders them by its transparency and tough ness. A width of it fastened over the angle where wall and floor join is a great protection , because that is where they are most apt to gnaw , but put not too "much trust in this defense , for their wicked bright eyes mn.y appear in the middle of the floor. Brick foundations help in keeping them out of the build- nips , but the cost is often lee grout. The creatures may easily be poisoned in their holes , but if they die in unrcacha- ble places , the odor they make poifcons the woo chickens. Well trained cats are capital guardians of brooding houses , but must themselves bo watched lost they yield to a sudden temptation. To lo t mas- ! * .

The greatest wheel of its kind in the world , a very wonder in mccbanibin , htands in the main shop of the Dickt-on Manufacturing company in Scrantoii , Pa. , says the Now York Times. Jt was built for the Culumotnnd Jlcohi Mining company of Lake Superior , Mich. , for ( lie purpose of lifting and dibclmrging the "tn'lingfl , " a wiibto from the copper mines , into the lake , and its diameter is fifty-four fcot , while its weight in active operation will bo " 00 tons. It is called a fifty-foot snndwhaol , but ilu ex treme dlinciiBiuns are fifty-four fcot in diamotor. Some idea of lib enormous capacity can bo formed from the fact that It will receive and elovntosutlloiont sand every twenty-four hours to cover an ucro of ground a foot dcop. It is armed on its outer edge with -toil teeth1.71 inches pitch and IS inches face. The gear segments , eighteen in number , nro made of gnu iron , nnd the teeth are machine cut , opicydodial in form. It look two of the most perfect machines in the world 100 duyuand nights to cut thu tooth alone , and the finish lb as smooth as glims , Tlio wheel it ) to bo driven l.v a pinion of gun iron containing thirty-throe teeth of equal pitch and facu and will run ut u speed of 000 foot per mlmito'at the inner edge , where it will bo ooulppud with 410 bteol buckets that will lift the "tailings" as the machine revolves and discharge thorn into laun ders that will carry them into the lake. Thofibaftof the wheel is of gun iron , and its journals are twenty-two Inchon in diameter by three foot four inches long. The abaft is made in three oc- tions and la thirty laches in diameter in the center. At a first glance the great wheel looks like mi exaggerated bicycle wheel , and it ia constructed much on the same prin ciple , with btrainlng rods that run to centers cast on the outer soctious of the nhuft. The fctcol buckets on either fcldo of tlio gear are each 4 feel h\ inches long and 1 inches dcop , and the com bined lifting capacity of the 418 , run ning nt a speed of COO foot per mliuito. will bo 8,000,000 gallons of water mid 12,000 tone of Band every twenty-four hours. Tlio mammoth wheel Is sup ported on Uvo inn slvo adjustable pedes tals of cast Iron weighing twelve tons each , and It is estimated that Us cost at the copper mines before making aslnglo revolution will not bo loss than $100,000 , NEGRO UPRISING IN THE SOUTH , UIMV tlm "Hoforo" mill "After Tnlt- Inn" Account * Should Uimd. The occurrence recently of several so-called "race wars" in Homo ot tlio southern states has awakened Interest in a now study , which , wo suppose , says the Now York Tribune , might bo called "comparative journalism. " It consists in the examination and arrangement of the first and last telegraphic reports of these collisions , which usually differ oven moro widely than do the "before- ' and "after" portraits of a man who uses iv particular patent medicine or indulges in a certain whisker stimu lator. With the earnest hope that wo shall not ofTond the gentleman in chnrgo of the new south , and with the assurance that our selections rclor to the old south the old , old south itself wo present a few specimens of before and after journalism. Hero is a short dispatch giving the first report of trouble : News has just been received from Starbottlo Crossroads of a serious negro uprising. It is impossible to obtain the particulars at this writing , but It is believed - liovod that the whites were returning from church when the negroes fired on them , Killing several. It is reported that the whites nro greatly alarmed and preparing to leave in Inrgo numbers. Then , the next day , wo shall receive this amended report : Further particulars from Starbottlo Crossroads show that eight , negroes were killed and several wounded. They were fired upon while proceeding- camp meeting. There was little excite ment and no moro trouble is expected. Or this may bo tho'llrst dispatch : At a local election to-day at .limplu- cute City it Is reported that there was a negro outbreak- , with much loss of lifo. "Bill" Summers , a notorious ne gro desperado , came to the polls and shot two of the judges of election and spread consternation in the neighbor hood. The sheriff andu posse attempted to subdue him , but the blacks rnilliod to his support nnd boat them off , break ing up the election. They subsequently bet fire to the town. The governor has been called on to send troops. Six whites were killed. It is feared that fuller particulars will show a much worse state of alTnirs. This may bo the second : Happily the reports from Jimplecuto City scut yesterday were greatly exag gerated. There were no whites killed and but twelve negroes. Only the , negro quarters were burned. Colonel Smith ( clem. ) was elected to the vacancy on the town board without a dissenting vote. To-night the excitement is dying out and the town is quiot. The negroes are believed to bo awed. If it be tin exceptionally good day for uprisings the first account is apt to run something like this : The intelligence of a terrible state of affairs in Big Bayou parish was brought to thib place to-day by a man who was fleeing from there to save his life. As is well known the negroes have boon arming themselves and drilling for bix monUifa. They have live carefully organl/ed regiments. Yesterday while the whitt were engaged inlaying the cornerstone of a now Melhodibt church the negroes suddenly appeared in force nnd began firing. Rlany whites fell at the lirbt shots , and the others prudently retreated lo their homes. The negroes ' followed and subsequently opened'with heavy artillery. The greatest terror prevails among the whites. Companies of negro cavalry are overruning the whole parish. They have thrown up fortilicatioiib and are sparing no ono. The parish will probably bo depopulated of while residents. Congress will bo called on to quell the insurrection if possible. ' The second report will tie greatly like this : ColonclJoncs , of Big Bayou parish , came down to-day to got more cart ridges nnd brought a moro detailed tic-count of the trouble thoro. It appears that the fir.st account was much exag gerated. From his story the following table has been prepared : Number of negroes lulled 32 Xnmucr of negroes wounded 07 Number of whites kiUud 0 Number of whites wounded 1 The white man who was wounded was Major Brown , who unfortunately got his thumb caught in the mechanism of his Winchester rifle. Quiet prevails to night. It is believed that the lifo and property of a white man will again bo ' bafo in' Big Bayou parish. But few negroes are seen on the streets , and it is thought that many of them have left for unknown parts. Shrew politicians say to-night that the danger of a repub lican majority at the next election in Big Bayou parish has been greatly overestimated. HAD MRS. SURRATT HANGED. Wreck or a Once Jtrllllnnt lawyer In a I'olici ; Court. As General George Foster stood in the line of prisoners in the llarlom po lice court yesterday there was little in his appearance to distinguish him from the otlu-r "drunks. " Ills lanky iron- gray hair was worn u little longer than in common , says the Now York World. A gray moustache drooped about the corners of his mouth , and his large gray eyes were bloodshot. IliH cloth ing' and his person nliko wore lack ing in c'loanliiiL rss. It was not tlio ilr.-it time that General Foster had stood in line in a police court. Magistrate and clerics know him well. Policeman llyiin haid that Foster hud rnibod a disturb ance nt Harry Hill's , in Ono Hundred and Thirtieth street , and had been put out. lie was very drunk when arrested , lint a night in a cell had sobered him. No one was. inclinnd to proas a charge against the old man , and Justice Woldo lot him go. Ho wont then to a laundry on Fourth avenue kept by a kindhearted - hearted women , who sometimes lots him .sleep there. When ho was arrobled General Fos ter gave No , ti310 Third avenue an hla address , Thornton's hotel ib at that number , and the clerk Bald that Foster had not lodged tliuro in pavornl weeks , hut often came there to BCO friends.
