THE WEATHER.-Since last week we
had warm, very warm, dry weather, I'M
til Wednesday night and Thursday
morning, when we had another copious
and refreshing rain, followed yesterday
morning by acool breeze from the north
west. The corn crop is improving and
growing rapidly with such favorable
weather; and the cotton which was in
jured or checked by the prolonged cold,
dry weather, is also coming out. More
attention has been paid here this year to
the cultivation of vegetable gardens than
ever before, and with marked success.
THE WAY THE WIND BLows.-Straws
show which way the wind blows.
Divers merchants and other leading
persons of this parish, who are the
financial chiefs of many people, have
handed in to the tax collector lists of
the IN of three or four hundred tax
payers, for the payment of whose tax
es they will be responsible, with the
request that no notice to pay be served
in their cases. These with those who
have already paid, amount to one-third
or over of all the taxpayers of the par
ish. Avariety of information, some of
it singular and surprising, can be
learned at the collectors Office, what
will amuse and do good to some peo-
pie to know. $3.50. .. .-..

CONC BACK ON IT.-The grand jury,
whose foreman was one of the vice
presidents of the tax resisters' meeting
last Monday, and who of course heard
the presidents speech against a tax for
building a new Jail, endorsed or adop-
ted the action of the previous grand
jury recommending the building of a
new jail and of course a tax wherewith
to do it. Now this foreman either is
no representative of the resisters or
nc representative of the grand jury and,
through the latter, of the people. But
as he said nothing in the meeting but
acted under oath as. a member and fore
man of the grand jury and sWorn repre-
sentative of the people, it is but natural
that he should be judged by his action,
with the inference that he could not
swallow everything model tax resiss
tiers might say.

pie to know.
TAXES COLLECTED. Last Monday,
the first day of the present term of the
District Court, and the day the tax re-
sisters held their second poW-wOw, was
a busy day with tax collector Morris.
He collected that day the sum of two
thousand four hundred and seventy-six
dollars and eighty-one cents-more than
had been collected on any previous day.
On Tuesday he collected the sur of
nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars
andninety-six cents. 1t will be seen
from this that if the tax resisters would
held meetings every day the entire tax
would be collected in a very short time.
The sensible people of this ~Parish-and
the great mass Of the taxpayers belong
to this class-watch the proceedings Of
the Bourbon impracticables and listen
to their advice; and then they go and
do the very contrary, knowing that that
will be right andprudent. Always do the
very opposite of what you are advised to
do by such people, is a safe ruletofollow.
ALEcK TRIMBLE ALIAS Tony WHITE.
This popular and hilarious gentleman
of color, who was during the val an
honorary member of the 18th La. Regt.,
and who often during the starvation
period of that time, made many stom-
achs glad and hearts rejoice, with press
ed" grub of various kinds, may be seen
and heard, after two or three o'clock
.. m. any warm day, on our streets, cry
ing out: 'ice cream! only ten cents q
glass; with intervals filed up with
snateYes of songs improvised for the
occasion, and expressive of his joyous
nature. Tony has called at the Jour-
NAL office, treated the establishment,
and asked for a "puf.s He says he can
beat anybody else making ice cream,
and beat anybody selling it after it is
made. He says he can please every
body, and everybody should buy their
ice cream from him. He never failed
TO please but one person, and him but
one time-and that was the District
Attorney, when he was crying s'iee
creamf' in his ears while he was draw
ing ND an Indictment in an important
criminal case. Tony makes his bow
and presents his respects to the ice
cream-1oving citizens of Opelousas and
vicinity, and the balance of mankind
generally when they come to town, du-
ring the present ice cream season, with
out distinction of race, color, sex, age,
or previous condition.
A PRACTICAL JoKE.-Two of the off
GERS Of the tax resisters' meeting held
here IastMonday, have no taxes to pay
this year; and another one of its officers
made arrangements to pay, which is
equivalent to an actual settlement Of
his taxes, before going into the meeting.

ity. Now this latter is about as good a
practical joke as we ever heard of being
played. This reminds us of the rustic
New England Deacon who went to New
York In the summer time, and uninten-
tionally got tipsy by indulging in iced
drinks, something new to him, to aIlay
his heat and thirst. When he returned
home some one had bEoced on him, and
they had him up in church about it. He

The Fashions.
HINTS OF FALL STYLES.

Some early hints of the styles to be worn
in the fall are gathered from the letters writ
ten home from Europe by buyers for the
large wholesale houses. These report that
double breasted garments have by no means
seen the height of their popularity, but will
continue in favor for the fall and winter. The
English walking jacket, similar to the gar
ment of that name worn last year, but more
closely fitted, will dispute favor with man
tillas as fall wraps. A pretty garment, show
ing compromise between these two wraps,
is already Illustrated In French magazines OF
fashion. The front has long, square mantilla
ends, the back is snugly fitted Jacket. and
and the sleeves are coat-shaped. This COM
posite garment is stylish and new, and will be
made OF black cashmere or camers hair, to
be worn with various dresses. The double
breasted front will also be retained In poio
naises and redingotes, of which fresh vaiie,
ties are promised. The sleeveless basque al
the jockey basque are still IN vogue ABROAD,
and will be found among importations for
next season.
The pulled skirt is another Parlsian sug-
oastion for fall dresses This Is merely an
amnlv long basque and a single skirt (but the
skirt is so elaborate that an overskirt would
he s1perfuons. A long walking-skirt of cam
bric IS made, and plainly covered with silk
from the knee down. On this is sewed the
silk skirt, held In lengthwise puffs from the
waist down. gradually widening iowa, ds the
bottom, and forming below hollow box
pleatinlg that gives the effect of a fonnce
around the skirt. The puffs are separated
BY ruches, and a bow conceals the end of
each ruche. The basque is deeply pointed
IN front and behind, aud is quite short on
the hips. 1t is trimmed. by a rufffe of hol-
low pleats, graduated narrower on The sides,
