The crowd g ithered so qmeklyit was difficult to imagine where they «uae from. Some boys on the outskirts of UM crowd cat a rope which kept a Blaine and Ixnn banner down Broadwav in position aaatriedto pull it down. The crowd in front of the Western Union Building was Wowing larger every moment, and •wmyed back and forth in a threatening manner and yelled: "Hang Jay Gould!" limp-post Jay Gould!" This was varied Jftkstby some asking a question and a firauand answering in a wild chorus. The OOtrandrums and the answer ran thus: "Who wrecked the Wabash?" "Jay Gould." "Who m4de,Black Friday^ "Jav Gould." Who : puts Judges in the Supreme Court?" "Jay would." "Who breaks the will of the peo­ ple?" "Jay Gould." "AY ho is ripe for the gal­ lows?"' "Jay Gould." "If he tris to steal |few York he will dance at the end of a rope!" shouted a brawny man with a de­ termined face. "I'll stone his hearse." ted another. Then some one asked who •*as the most infamous man alive. There fas one unanimous answer, no ons appear­ ing to have other than one choice. Police arrived, and afterward more police. Twenty <pf them were placed inside the building, JHtt of flight, for an emergency. Others patrolled the sidewalk.

Tbe Prairies and the Mountains. I was just thinking I would like to be sent out West just about now on some commission for an able and en­ terprising journal, at a large salary, railroad passes, nothing to do, and two or three of the boys to help me to do it. I just feel a bit prairie hungry. A Western man never loses his love for the prairie. They call tlidm "prurries" in Indiana, "peraries" in Illinois, "prairs" in Nebraska, "perars" in Ken­ tucky, and "pararies" in Boston; but whatever you call them they are all the same. I would like to hear the wind blowing across the great plains in Kan­ sas, over the beautiful treeless bluffs at Manhattan, or along the great reaches out at Larned. You know the wind never blows anywhere else as it does across the prairies. And there it blows all the time, 365 days a year. It roars in your ears now and then like the rush of many waters; it sighs and sings and whispers through the tall swaying grass; its song is never monotonous; it varies all day long; and as it sings and whistles it breathes into your soul a sense of perfect freedom, such as you ean experience nowhere else. A moun­ tain^ is a prison compared with the prairie. The mountain threatens you; it is not loving and tender, it frowns upon you with great gray rooks; it never smiles; it scowls with dark ravines and* treacherous precipices; it terrifies you with blinding fogs and drifting mists; it swathes its stony, gorgon head in black clouds and speaks to you in muttering syllables of thun­ der. You cannot breathe in the nar­ row passes; you cannot ran on the steep, rough winding paths; you bend your head back until your neck • aches, to see a little strip of blue sky. But the prairie--boundless, immense, a bil­ lowy sea of emerald, dotted with the rank, bright-colored flowers that play with the singing, whispering winds; the prairie that seems bounded only by the bending sky and the stars; the resin weed gives you the compass and / the compass gives you the path; go where you will and as you please, at a foot pace or a headlong gallop, free as the winds that make the prairie their only home. There is no room for them anywhere else. I don't suppose I will get the commission I am hinting at, but I would like to go out to the prai­ ries and cool off for about ten minutes. --Burdette, in the Brooklyn Eagle. fSTew Orleans telegram.] _ These waa a Republican meeting at Fanner » "mail village near the town ot Iberia* < Itaria Pariah, on Saturday. The pUwe 1* loeated- onthebaxikot Bayou Teche, is doned with caae- hrakee, and the low landa make it the home principally of negroes of the poorer and harder j •lawee. Theee were the people who were hold- m *« * •0: 7w> uu tMiuiuar. Their upeakera were Judge Fontellen. a white Republican, and . one or two oolored politicians from Louisville. , The speeches were particularly bitter and the speakers laid great emphasis on their experience of Ja3t sumtner when the State militia , took the Court House by foroe and .J- 'iij, > turned the administration over to the ^ Democracy. The result o! the speeches was • WAS" that the netrroes became agitated, and those of ' * "4? the Republican faith were furious in their pa#- ' sions. As the meeting was about to close some colored Democrats came up and began to discuss the Question with the men who had atrag$rled out m groum irom the place at which the meeting had been held. In one of these groups tne discussion had grown into a desperate quar­ rel, and the men wer > dividing tot a battle, when Joe Gtlfoux, a whits l>emoorat stepped Into the crowd and took a band in the dis­ cussion. He was a prominent character in the quarrel of last summer, and his prese&oe increased the indignation ot the Republic­ ans. Epithets came quick, and Gllfaux had been in the crowd but a moment when a negro fired from a pistol in his pocket and the ball passed through Gilfaux'S hat. The latter responded to the attack by drawing a gun, and had tired one harmless shot when he received a fatal wound. He fell dead in his tracks, and hie death was the signal for a qniefe and furious at- V v' taok. A number of Democratic politicians, whose presence had not been observed, rushed •• VA suddenly to the scene, and, commanding their / * friends to form a line, they kt once seht a mur- 4J& 0)4 derous volley into the Crowd of negroes. . >" , Many of the latter fell, some dead, oth- era dangerously wounded, and many more •'*' •r less hurt. The shots had attracted J many of the men who were at the meet- ^ ; ' tog, and in approaching the scene of the quarrel they were forced to come up on tbe * ^ Bide of the Republicans and were exposed to the- ; fatal volley. The spectacle of the dead and - * I dying had a confusing effect. Many of the ; negroes were stampeded and ran like wild men into the glades and canebrakes. Others wbose * fright was uncontrollable fled into Bavou Teche and were drowned. Some of the wounded crept to the roadside to die of the injuries they had already received or to receive fresh wounds that were fatal. There were many of the neirroes, however, to whom the sicht of their dead and bleeding comrades was a demoniac Inspiration, ' and, drawing such weapons as thev had, some pistols and others knives and clubs, they rushed upon the Democrats. A furious hand-to-hand battle ensued, C Neither * side of the stampede showed signs of faltering until their weapons had been rendered useless. and then they drew off sullenly, and with threat*. and jeer mies. The battle subsided as quietly as it began, al­ though more than 1,000 shots were fired and many knives were stained with blood before the fray was over. After the combatants separ­ ated each left the scene The dead and wonnded. were uncared for. The Democrats went to New Iberia; the Republicans to Loreauville. In the course of half an hour a truce party returned to ers taunted even the dying of their ene- # Ancient Flint Implements. "Are the flint arrows and spear heads which are to be found in nearly every State in the Union supposed to be In­ dian relics, or are they the product of the more ancient race, the Mound Builders ? Are they not scattered over Europe as well as America? And, if so, could they be of Indian origin as many suppose?" It is highly probable that these im­ plements of tlint and other stone were made by the North American Indians whose art never had progressed, at the time of the discovery of America by white men, beyond the rude period of stone-working. The Mound Builders, though antedating the nomad Indians in time, were several stages beyond them in civilization, being workers in the various metals, and being by no means ignorant of the principles of architecture. Flint instruments are found among the antiquities of Europe as well as of America. Archaeologists place them in the drift period, the epoch when man occupied Central Eu­ rope in company with the mammoth, the wooly rhinoceros, and the cave bear, some ten thousand years, proba­ bly, anterior to the earliest dawn of history. In England, France, Belgium, and other countries of Europe many caves have been found in which are imbedded iu the drift mud, spear, and arrow-heads, disks and scrapers, side by side with the bones of human l>e- ings and also of fossil animals. The fact that similar relics are found in Eu­ rope does not prove that those found in this country were not of Indian ori­ gin, as the human race in the rape stage of development seeks to provide for its necessities by much the same processes of art.--Inter Ocean. THUS Canadians certainly deserve prise for the public spirit which they have shown in building railways and digging canals. Had the same enter­ prise contended with a climate better disposed toward man's industrial ef­ forts, the world would be constantly expressing its admiration and wonder. No less than $20,000,000 have been ex­ pended on the canals of the Dominion, and the furnishing of a railway to the far-away settlers in the Northwest was a thing which no amount of grumbling about monopoly will ever bring into a bad light.--The Current.

THE late Senator Anthony's present of minister to the injured and carry off the dead, but they attended only to those who lay in the- road where the battle had occurred. An embassador notified Coroner Manvilleof the affray, and he visited the scene. He re­ turned to-day, and gives the following version,, as gleaned from the Democratic survivors: There are sixteen negroes dead and two white men. I have ordered a jury, and will hold the inquest to-morrow. All in the light when it began say that the tirst shot came from a negro, who tired at Joe Giifoux from his coat-pocket. Gilroux and another Democrat named Bell were killed instantly, and from the first vol­ ley. The pistols taken from their bodies show that they had not fired a shot when they fell. It is not known how many were killed, but it is certain there were sixteen, prob­ ably twenty. Nearly all those killed re­ ceived wounds from stray shots. It was re­ ported that the white Republicans present wore- breastplates. Judge Fontelieu's clothing was full of bullet holes, but his skin was untouched. Capt. Bell was buried to-day at St. Martinsville. Bell and Giifoux were two or Fausse Point's most respected citizens. Their friends present,, six or eight men, were so Infuriated that they went into the battle regardless of everything, and fought bravely. A great many ntgroes stood and fonght until they emptied their pis­ tols. A r.:a.jority, however, stampeded. Hun­ dreds of them jumped into the bayou, and some- being wounded did not get out. Others ran aud some fell down on the way and died. One negro- was found near by in his cabin, dead, without a. b raise. CRUSHED TO DEATH, " A Great Theater Audience' Crazed with Terror b] False Alarm of A. lad Stampede for tbe Exi^ fik Which Sixteen People Lose •- \ Their Lives. ' dispatch from Glasgow, Scotland.) serious panic occurred at the Star Theater, in Glasgow, caused by a cry of fire. The per­ formance had proceeded without interruption until shortly after !T o'clock, when some person shouted "Fire!" The whole audience instantly rose to their feet and made a rush to the several exits. 'I he great mass of people in "the pic" in rushing therefrom met a crushing crowd pour­ ing down from the gallery. The fearful and fatal block followed. The wild shrieks ot a «ony and despairing cries for help could not then be answer- d. The mass of L anic -stricken hnd struggling humanity were appealed to bv tbe officers of the theater and the police to hold back, but the APPEALS were un­ heeded. The crazed crowd irantically pressed toward the outlets, trampling down and over the weaker ones until the street was reached. When the theater was finally cleared sixteen corpses were found on the stairs leading from the gallery, and twelve persons were so badly injured that they only gave evidence that life was not extinct by their piteous moanings. Upon the first alarm being rung t)ie whole fire brigade quickly went to the rescue, and with the police, did "their utmost to allay the panic and rescue the dead and dying, but they were too late to be of innch effective service. Tbe police and citizens finally succeeded iu forc­ ing their way into the building, and then aid­ ed all they could to escape to the street, but the mass was so wedged that they were sadly inter­ fered with in their humane labors. The city ambulance corps conveyed the victims, the wounded and the dead, to the infirmary. The wounded were so overcome that they were aa\ helpless as the dead. The man whose cry of "Fire!"-caused the panic has been arrested. He was drunk when he raised the false alarm. Persons in the the­ ater at the time describe the scene on the stair­ case as terrible. The steps were strewn with ribbons, hats, sacks, and shawls. The victims were tirst suffocated and then trampled upon. The panic lasted fifteen minutes. The scenes witnessed when relatives Identified their dead were most affecting. Among the victims were eight women. Live-Stock Interests.
