IL I
the election in November 1872,
as little as any other Parish in
North Louisiana The officers
filing the various Offices Of the
Parish, are those elected by
our people, andithey obtained
their Offices without the trouble
and confusion which was ex-
pelienced in many Parishes
There has not been a single
contest in onr Parish for an
Office under thatelection. The
administration Of our parocbial
affairs has given pretty general
satisfaction. Yet with all the
success which our efforts have
attained. we can but notice a
restless. uneasy disposition
among some Of our citizens to
Ecut themselves off from the pro-
lection Of OUR Parish, and be
annexed on to some new
flegded Parish, or else tosbe
created with. other territory
into some new Parish on our
border. But this feeling is
mostly kindled and nursed By
some disappointed aspirants
to official positions. or by some
local influences to build up
shire towns, Sc. We hear a
whispering of making an issue
of this in the next fall election.

MRS. LOCKWOOD IN TEXAS

OUR FEMALE LAWYER IN A NEW ROLE.
We had the pleasure yesterday of receiving q
call from Mrs. Belya A. Lockwood, Of Washing
ton. Mrs. Lockwood is, we believe, the first lady
lawyer that has ever appeared in the courts Of
Texas. She Is certainly the first that we have
seen since Counselor Jessica appeared for the de-
fence in the we'll known case Of ShylocK vs.. An
tonic, reported In 5th Shakespeare. Mrs. Attorney
Lockwood represents the heirs Of the late Judge
Watrous. She yesterday made probate OF the
will and transacted such other business Of the Dis
trict Court as the case required. The ofacers Of
the court are delighted with her knowledge Of
the practice and easy way Of transscting bust
ness We plead guilty to Q feeling Of novelty at
the appearance Of q lady lawyer in our courts
q feeling which will disappear when the occur
renee ceases to be novel, as Il will in time; for
there is no good reason why q legal head should
not wear o fashionable bonnet, nor any why
lsdy's mantle should not inolose as much learning
as an academic gown. Mrs. Lockwood heard, be-
fore she left the North, some terrible stories Of
Texas and the Texans. She came, perhaps, ex-
pecting that each man she met would have re-
yolyers strapped TO his waist, like fashionable
lady carries her parasol, ian and other nick
hacks. Without doubt, she was told that each
lawyer wore o boHte-knife in his boot, and bot
tie Of O be-oyful in his side-pockst But she took
out an escort-Rn encunbrance with which she
need not be troubled, no matter In what part Of
Texas she may travel; for We eau assure her that
the cowboy on the frontier has as much gallantry
dilletsnti beaux that dance the "RedoWA" IN the
saloons Of Washington. We hope that Mrs.
LOCKWOOD viii have pleasant and prosperous
Visit 70 the Lone star State, so that when she re-
Ie1ans are ne all that fancy painted them.-GGL

ODD FELLOWS HALL-OLD-TIME MIN
STRELS.
Odd Fellows hall was crowded again last night
to hear the olG-time minstrels. Standing at the
door and looking down the aiEles one was re-
minded Of silver cloud, for o majority Of the
audience was composed Of old men and women,
those who were delighted with mInstrelsy more
than thirty years ago. There on the stage was
genial, Simon-pure Sam. S. Sanford. His only
living contemporary is Eph. Horn, the great
John Diamond having died in Philadelphia, in
1851. Thirty years ago they were on the stage
singing Cynthia SRe," "JulIana johnson"
Dan Tucker" "De Ole Gray Goose" Lucy
Neal" and "Sing Darkles, Sing" and last night
plaudits rang out as the veteran, Sanford, pro-
duced NELLY was Lady, "Unole Ned, "''The

This real, genuine treat should be enjoyed by ALL

The programme at the Theatre Comique this

and artistic bit Of work. Harry Monroe earns his

FASHIONS IN MILLINERY.

Tuesday last was ''opening day" among
the New York milliners, when the new fall
styles were displayed for the first time. The
World thus describes the styles displayed at
q leading Broadway house: The tables Of pat
tern bonnets were unusually rich and delight
full In their masses of color now that wine
crimsons and puppies are again coming into
favor. Dark, warm brown, maroon and puce
are the faVorite eolors In velvet hats. For the
comfort Of those who 60 to theatres and wish
10 gain some view Of the stage in doing so, 1t
Is TO be said that the crowns of hats are lower.
Wider brfms than usual are seen, and the trim
ming is piled up in front to gain the desired
height. Very pale, delicate roses, with black
ened autumn ivies and their own foliage, or
face-Wreaths Of roses shaded from maroon 10
crimson, with halElong plumes, the natural
tints Of gray deepening 10 brown at the tip,
form such rich and lavish trimming that It is
hardly noticed how much less lace is used,
especially as ribbons are coming again into IA
vor. The fashionable shades Of deep red,
cardinal" which Is very like sultana, and
volcano, which is still darker, are especially
fine on velvet, as they belong TO the maroon
order and really are little higher in tone than
the fayorite brown. A very delicate tinge
called flower Of sulphur has scarcely sug-
gestion of that most odious yellow, but Is q
greenish tinge Of the same class as absinthe
and pistache. Cottage shapes are In favor for
bonnets, aud marine, with the brim turned up
in.various shapes and slashings, for round hats.
Among the novelties in trimmings are beaded
twigs aud long, sharp wing feathers and cocks
plumes, dotted with jet. Felt hats Of softest
kind, with the rough came's-hair finish, are
seen in dark blue and gray, but for the present
black and dark gray strAWs have the prefer
ence. More extended descriptions Of styles
will be given hereafter, including rich velvet
evening bonnets from Virot, Magnier, and
other French milliners of repute.
