THE FAIR.-We have to report con-
tinued interest in our Fair, which is
now one Of the fixed institutions of
Rapides, under the control and guild
ance of men who know what they are
about, and are resolved to do the
right thing to cater to the mutual
wants and interests of the entire COM
munity. The speciality of the Fair,
if there be in the large programme
one of more use and interest than
another, is the grand Lottery with
its S3S prizes, and single tickets, adj
mitting one to the grounds for the
small sum of seventy-fve cents. And
by purchasing tickets in packages
you are discounted literally on the
retail price; this you can learn by
reading the terms in our advertise
ment of the Fair. Surely there
should be combinations, clubs, etc.,
made up here and in the country to
purchase the largest share Of the
tickets and thus win all the big prizes
for home folks. Let our people give
the proper and merited attention to
this matter, and heed our advice.

Escape Of Bazaine.

The following interesting particu-
lars of the escape of Marshal Bazaine
from his prison on the island of St.
Marguerite have been received in
London: T h e apartments occupied
by Marshal Bazaine opened upon a
terrace, which was built upon lofty
and precipitous cliff, overhanging the
sea. A sentry was posted on this
terrace with orders to watch the
prisoners every movement. Sunday
evening the Marshal walked up on the
terrace with Colonel Villette, his
aid-de-camp. At two o'clock he re-
tired as usual apparently to sleep,
but before day-break he had effected
his escape. He must have crossed
the terrace in the dead Of night, and
eluding the sentinel, gained the edge
of the precipice; thence, by means of
a knotted rope, he descended to the
sea. He evidently slipped during his
descent and tore his hands, as the
rope was found stained with blood in
several places. Under the cliff, in a
hired boat, was Bazaine's wife and
cousin. They received him as he
reached the water, and Madame La
manehate taking the oars, rowed di-
rectly to strange steamer, which
had been lying of the island since the
previous evening. They reached the
vessel in safety, were taken on board,
and the steamer then put to sea. 1t
is thought that they landed at &C.
neva, as the steamer proceeded in that
direction. The first news of the af-
fair came to Grasse, the nearest place
on the coast, and the magistrates of
the town Immediately sent officersin
every direction to search for the fugi-
tive. There was great commotion
in Marseilles when the fact became
known. An investigation was opened,
and Colonel Vilette, who was walking
with the Marshal on the evening of
his escape, was discovered there and
imprisoned. The commandment of the
Fort of St. Marguerite was placed un-
der arrest, and General Lewein has
gone to the island to investigate the
affair.

Democratic Meeting.

The "Call for a Mass Meeting''
signed by 'R. A. Hunter, Chairman
Democratic Executive Committee"
which was fixed for last Saturday,
came of, at the Court House, on that
day, and was presided over by W. w.
Wilmington, L. B. Baynard acting as
Secretary. As we reported the Mass
Meeting of the 9th, and it was
generally known we were to have
another Meeting, it is but just and
fair that the outside public should
know about this last one. We were
present, as a listener and reporter,
and regret to state that the Meeting
of last Saturday, was thinly, beggarly
attended, only some eight persons
participating therein, with about
twenty lockers on, nearly half of
whom were boys. Col. R: A. Hun
ter was the main and principal
speaker, and we certainly cannot find
fault or dissent from most of his
views and premises on the general
interest of the gathering. He spoke,
and spoke earnestly, even eloquently,
good, sound Democratic doctrine,
which we can but consider orthodox
and told many wholesome and plain
truths about the situation. But as
he will certainly move his point and
back his position, there is no neces.
sity for us to enlarge further or com.
ment more on the matter. We hope
and trust that, by our next, we may
announce a united and compact front
in Rapides. Since writing this, We
have been handed the proceedings Of
the Meeting which we publish as an
act of courtesy. and for general infor
nation; they will be found elsewhere

A CANDIDATE.

Just about this time the people OF
our Parish, and more especially the
aspiring and ambitious leaders, seem
to be on the hunt, at least they so
preach, of proper men to send to the
next Legislature to truly and well
represent Rapides. Believing and
taking them on the faith of these
good professions, we make bold to
state where one man, in every sense
of the word, can be found and fill the
honored bill, and we think we have
done more than our share of the good
work, when we place him before the
public in that light.
1t must be admitted, and we think
no one can gainsay it, that for many
long years we have been criminally
neglectful ofo bounden duty in this
respect, and that in most instances
we have had men forced on us, who
should remain at home and give way
to other and better and filter men.
There is no use eliminating over this
past evil, but let us like good men
and worthy citizens, bury the follies
of the past and in the soon future
crown these past follies with the
bright and patriotic acts, which now
loom up before us and should not be
unheeded.
The gentleman, and surely none
ever merited this title more than him,
we place before our people for the
Legislature, is native of our Parish,
in the full prime of vigorous and ma
tured manhood, born of parents, who
were the most honored of the very
earliest of the pioneers of civiliza-
tion in Rapides, of well balanced
mind, we'll cultured education, large
and extensive. experience in mercan-
tile and planting duties; in the walks
Of private life and in the social circle
a true type of the honor and chivalry
Of the old Creole population, sans
peur ct sans reproche. Never poll
tician, never dreaming of the lust of
Office, of a strong mind, energetic
will and business qualities of the very
highest order, with the manner, mien
and department of the ancien regime;
all the best virtues, pure and grand
traits of human nature seem to have
been heaped on our friend. And
without hesitation, of our own accord,
assuming all the responsibility there
for, we proclaim to the Convention
soon to assemble, that his name will
be presented to them for their con-
sideration, and that the matter will
be pressed with all due regard, which
its Importance merits, and that the
gentleman to whom we allude and
make mention of is, Evariste Archi-
nard, of Bayou Rapides. Gentlemen
of the Convention, you have, his name
before you!

Co. We understand that the two
Committees, recently appointed by
the two Meetings assembled in our
Town, have been in correspondence
in regard to the affairs and doinss of
each respective party. The Commit
tee representing the interests of the
democratic Executive Committee"
through R. A. Hunter have asked
the ''Parish Executive Committee"
of the Mass Meeting of the 9th, to
change or modify their name, recon-
slider their call for Parish Conven-
ton, and 60 with them in "Fusion"
call for a joint Convention. The
Committee "of the 9th" have refused
this proposition, but how and in what
manner, we know not. All our often
expressed fears of want of unity, Of
good start, proper understanding,
and new dips, seem to glimmer to
the front already, and unless wise
counsels, prudence and good common
sense assert their sway, and at once,
we are going to have the repetition
Of the blunders of 1872. However.
we hope and trust, and feel that the
Parish Convention, with seventy
seven Delegates fresh from the peo-
pie, and with full sovereign powers,
will be equal to the emergency and
will settle all these little unpleasant
affairs.
