atlre from the parish of Atoj
ellea, was the youngest men
ber of tbe Louisiana legisla
ture of 1857. Of medlnm
height, broad of shoulder, deep chestsd
and brown haired and brown eyed,
with a countenance brave and frank.
he was reaarded at the Adonis of the
bouse. His ares of milk white cassl-
mere; ruffled shirt , and deeo Byronle
collar gave warrant to the poetic ap
praisal of the women.- lint hla col
leagues set a different estimate upon
him. To them he was known as a wall
trained lawyer, a close student.
71 eg man much gives to philosophic
research and meditation, one of learn
ing ana gravity unusual at hi age,
true, courageous, but of a seriousness
bordering upon melancholy. lit was a
forceful debater, though bis years were
but 24, and bis utterances were always
beanr with sincere respect
Though himself a slaveowner, be bad
from motives of humanity eloquently
but unsuccessfully opposed tbe bill
which enacted: .' .
'That from and after tbe passage of
this act no slave shall be emancipated
in tnis state."
His speech bad been published In full
by tbe leading Journals, and its perora
tion was long .remembered.
"Can It be," De exclaimed, "that In
this part of Christendom, In a time of
profound peace aud tranquillity, an
American legislative body will from
tbe black' cloud of slavery tear the
narrow fringe of hope and In Its stead
Inscribe by statute tbe frightful legend
seen by Dante over the portals of belli
Can It be that enlightened citizens win
forbid tbe reward of liberty to tbe slave
who serves tbe state? Will the law
making power deny to the master tbe
exercise of tbe noblest virtue of bis
nature by prohibiting him from confer,
ring tbe boou. of freedom upon, the
Slave who has stood between bis life
and tbe knife of the assassin or safely
borne his -fainting wife through the
flames of the burning mansion or
plunged into the down sucking Missis
sippi to bring back the fair haired child
to the frantic mother? Can It be that
tbe flower of civilization , will make
unlawful that kindness to a faithful
human slave which It approves to a
dog or a horse? 1 cannot bejleve It
But If I mistake tbe sense of the house
then let me say that the logical conse
quence of this measure will be tbe sti
fling of moral growth In tbe master,
tbe removal of Incentives to loyalty
In the slave; the one must become
more barrow and cruel, tbe other des
perate and ferocious; tbe sense of Jus
tice of other communities .will be
sbocBed and their righteous anger will
be provoked; decs da cannot fall to
bring some frightful catastrophe en
our state as tbe fruit of this unholy
measure. I protest against K. ' I ap

negative votes that the white race In

After tbe adjournment of the legisla

Avoyelles, taking passage en tbe steam

a profusion of while paint upon her

The boat carried some 00 passengers.
manv of whom were planters returning
from tbelr annual spring visits to Jsw
Orleans factories to settle accounts of
the past planting year and arrange
credits for tbe new. Some were ae

tbe bar, and this was tbe beginning of
tbe barkeeper's business day.
Oakfell passed tbe greater part of the
evening reading In tbe captain's state
room on the hurricane deck. Returning
to the cabin at 11 o'clock, be found his
constituents from Avoyelles at tbe ta
ble nearest tbe bar. Tbey were not
piaylug, but cards, Ivory chips and
half drained glasses ef liquor were en
the table. None of the chine was on
the side where Latiolala sat Borne

the remainder, la many stacks, were

from tbe three, bu not so fsr that tbelr
conversation was not audible to him.
QuUlebert In a balf Jocular and half

"No, I don't know that" replied
Latiolals. "I could have sold him for
7S0. But that Isn't It I never tried to

a receipt In full of tbe Judgment, prin
cipal, interest and coats which be bad
obtained for the killing of bis negro

$300, representing his loss la tbe game
of poker they bad previously played.
Forcing a lie, he-ordered three more
glasses of whisky, and when these bad
been tossed off bade bis companions

Dr. De Rous strolled to tbe hurricane
deck to soothe tbelr nerves with cigars
before seeking sleep. Oakfell repaired
to his stateroom soul sickened by what

It not been for Bapttste's care and
watchfulness I should, never have re

that $2,000 could have at all repaid me
for bis loss. Moreover, It would have
been the act of a good neighbor In
you to have complained to me of any

allowed me to correct blm. Instead of

"But bad not tbe dog bitten the

"I have beard something or that

; "It was a fact" Insisted Latiolala,

of wblcb It could boast ' All the other
edifices, Including the church, were of
wood, painted white or yellow, ranged
on either aids of a long main street
and two lateral and four cross streets
Intersecting at right angles. The sit

In the prairie, the two aides of which,
when the thick' foliage of umbrella
cblna, pecan, fig and oak trees waa at
Its full and softened by tbe sprinkling
of rosy dowered myrtles, gave tbe re

Sharply to a broad belt of stiff soil
Incalculably fertile, 'bearing a thick
growth of cypress, gum and oak and
terminating at Bayou du Lac, wide and
deep, on tbe farther aide of which lay
tbe Magnolia hills. These latter were
a avrlm of gentle undulations, rising
souiewhst above the general level of
the alluvion and extending quite eight
miles to the line, sandy soil of that per
feet agricultural country formed by
the network of bayous Rouge, Huff-

patiently, and then queried: "But who

Braunschweig attracted general no
tice at s stats dinner. lis had a
long paper before him, to which hs
referred every time before he order

who sat near him, asked him what
he was reading. Tbe elector silent
ly handed the paper to his inter
rogator. It contained a list of the
viands prepared for tbe occasion
which tbe elector had ordered the
cook to writs out for him. The idea
ef having sucb a list so pleased the
