r We have once more to our deep
regret, to announce continued and
abominable series of rains, perfect
pocket editions of old Noah's food,
which have ever fallen to the sad lot
Of poor Rapides. The whole face of
the earth is drenched, overfowed, the
bitches aud drains all running over,
the roads impossible and crops of all
kinds in such fix, that we care not to
tell how bad. As we write, Monday
morning, the sun has at last come out
from it's long hidden place, and we be-
lieve there is some signs of fair wealth
er ahead. Any change will be for the
better, but all signs now q days fail, so
we must not crow till We are clean out
of the woods.

The Mails.

Surely our situation, as COMMUNE
ty, in this State, and a dependency on
Uncle Sam, is not mending fast, and is
continually growing from bad to worse.
Here we are without single paper,
North, East, South or West, to hand
by our mails, whose contractors are
well and regularly paid, for the past
ten days, and from present appear
auces no man can begin to guess when
we will be graciously favored with
such bounties. All the hacks and
stages haye turned in and turned out
their steeds, all owing to some water
said to he in the road between this
and the Mouth. We are sorry to say
that the excuses set up for these fail
ures, a,e not altogether valid, and with
the proper energy, good will and half
management, none of these continued
and systematic failures would occur.
What we fail to see in this mysterious
matter is, that the Way Mail, as it is
called, which starts from the Wharf
boat reaches here regularly and never
has failed. Now we would like to
know if the way mail is taken from
the wharfboat regularly and reaches
here, as often as due, why can't the
regular mail be taken in and out of
the wet and brought here likewise 7
This needs explanation and We should
like to hear defence for such derilic-
ton of duty.
However, we learn, our fellow
townsman, Col. N. L. McGinnis, the
agent Of our DR.. Peterson, is now on
the route on business specially con
nected with our grievances and will
remedy this growing evil; we hope for
much better mail luck from this time
out.

The Regatta.

energies for sport, fun and innocent
frolc of our almost dead population,
have again broken loose in a fresh
place, and we are once more on the
good old track of pleasing enjoyments.
Last Sabbath proved this sensibly to
our too long dormant senses, and we
place on record the fact of our new
departure. The old ones and young
ones of Alexandria and Pineville.
opened a sweepstakes skif race, if we
are permitted to use tue term in a
nautical sense, one day last week, to
come off on Sunday, entrance money,
the modest sum of two and half dol
lars, cash down and no grumbling.
The ball was soon in motion, and the
stakes filled with the following FIVE
entries: Laura c. Singer, Red; Hard
Times, Blue; One Armed Lewis,
White; Black Cloud, Black, and Last
Chance, Red Crescent. A great deal
of excitement and some light betting
took place from the start, the White
flag aud Black flag being favorites
from the jump at some odds; all how
ever had staunch friends and hackers.
The evening proved good, sunsl,iny
one, the first almost of this present
month, our miserable clerk of the
weather condesccnding to smile on our
sport just for luck. Soon the judges
had arranged the boats in line of l,at-
tie, as we have named them; the peo-
pie, men, women and children lined
the levee from the mouth Of the Da-
you, the starting place, to point OPP
posite the pineville bull pen, distance
one mile, and soon, amid shouts and
waving of handkerclliefs, they receive
fair send off and are off at full stroke.
Now the interest and excitement in
crease and eager eyes watch their ia
vourites. Soon, nay too quick is the
sport and excitement over, and shout
after shout 60 up in the air and Pine
ville's black craft is the first to pass
the judges line; time 6 minutes and
5 seconds The following is the re-
suit, or positions as they came out !:
Black Cloud, Red Crescent, Red, Blue,
White.
In conclusion we cannot too often
recommend to our people the absolute
necessity for more efforts, in behalf of
all sucI, sports and recreations; we
need them, should be more social and
gather around the circle of fun, merri-
ment and enjoy ments oftener, and en-
joy life, while it lasts here below.
We trust another regatta will be at
once inaugurated.
