Oliver Wendell Holmes says this is
the way women prepare to play on the
piano HIt was a young woman with
as many white founces round her as the
planet Saturn has rings, that did it.
She gave the music-stool twirl or two
and buffed down on it like twirl of
soap-suds in a hand-basin. Then she
pushed up her cuffs as if she was going
to fight for the champions belt. Then
she worked her wrists and hands to
timber 'em, suppose, and spread out
her fingers till they looked as though
they would pretty much cover the key
board, from the growing end down to
the little squeaky one. Then those two
hands of hers made Jump at the KEYS
as if they were a couple of tigers com
ing down upon a flock of black and
white sheep, and the piano gave great
howl as If its tail has been tread on.
Dead stop-so still you could hear your
hair growing. Then another howl, as if
the piano had got two tails, and you
had trod on both of 'em at once; and
then grand clatter and scramble, and
strings of jumps, up and down, back
and forward, one hand over the other,
like a stampede of rats and mice more
than like anything / call music"

A SToRY.-The Opelousas Journal tells
the following story, for which, however, it
does not vOuch, but gives it from current
rumor:
An old widow lady whose children had
all married offand left her alone, had been
persuaded to sell her little place and live
with them. She said her land buildings
and improvements one day for two thou
sand dOllrrs, and received the money in
cash on the spot, in her own house where
the act of sale was passed before two wit
nesses, the number required by law. and
who witnessed also the payment of the
money. In a short time she was to give
possession, but alone remained in To house.
the night following the sale, or with no
masculine adult inmates as was the custom
That night two negro burglars broke into
the house and demanded her money or her
life. She gave it to them, but begged them
to let her have one hundred dollars of it,
as she owed that amount, and wanted to
pay DEBT, when she would be satisfied.
They finally consented to let her keep the
hundred dollars. They then ordered her to
make some coffee for them to drink. In
doing so, she bethOught herself of some
strychninc she had in the house. and quiet
ly dropped it in the pot of steaming coffee,
and placed it on the table with cups, spoons
and sugar for them to pour ont and sweet.
EN- to their taste: This they did and drank
in jolly mood, each one having nine hun
dred and fifty dollars in his pocket. But
IN few minutes the tables were turned.
One gave mp the ghost wlfer he sat at the
table in his chair, and the other got up,
staggered off a few feet and tumbled into
eternity. The good old lady recovered her
money, and on examining the persons of
the black burglarious robbers, they turned
ont to be the two witnesses to the act of
sale, both white men, blackened for the oc-
easion-both her neighbors and one was
her cousin.

Fairs and Fair Dealings

Elsewhere we notice the Louisville In.
dustrial Exhibition or Fair, aud the ticket
of invitation we had received to visit it
With this ticket instructions were sent to
enable us to make the excursion at great
ly reduced rates, and we are truly sorry
that circumstances prevent us from doing
so. We have also received most of, if not
all the Louisville papers, and we observe
that in every one ofthem, the full program
me of the Fair is published with all the adj
vertisements relative to it. This wisely
liberal policy is, fully allowing for the
great difference in circumstances, directly
opposite to the course adopted here, where
the paper having the greatest circulation
in this and adjoining parishes, is entirely
ignored in regard to all matters concerning
the proposed entertainment. We said last
week that we wished all success to the
Fair and its objects, and we do so yet, that
is its legitimate and praiseworthy objects,
but, do not think it ought to be made an
opportunity for any particular party to
grind his own axe, to the exclusion of
others.

A BLOODY FIGHT.-The Opelousas Jeuv-
nal of last week gives the details of one Of
the bloOdiest ARRAYS which has ever occur
red in that parish. 1t seems that Dreux
Guillory and Felix Soileau, who had quss-
relied at a ball, met on Old Grand Prairie,
by appointment, to settle the matter BY .
fist fight. to witness which about hun.
dred persons had assembled. After the 6st
fight, an old feud between the GuilloEys
and others present was revived, which ~
suited in the indiscriminate use of pistolA
three persons being killed and Que norally
wounded. The conclusion arrived ct By
the coroner's jury was that Augustus
Guillory killed Carroll Blackmafl; thsf
Dreux Guillory killed Alexander vidrine,
and that Aristide Ortega killed Dreux Guil-
lory. After being shot down Blankmsn
fred three shots ut Augustine Gpillcy,
who is between sixty-fve and seventy,
mortally wounding him. Several srrDts
have been made.
Augustine G,hllory has since died.
