Mr.. e. w. Blake, Thibodaur:
Dear Sir.-Knowing no one but

it best to send this communra
tion to you and by you have it

concerns the welfare of the plan
rei'S interest is vital to all the
people.
1t is we'll known that we hold
in our npiyhborhood the key to
the interior. That is, if the great
Hickey levee is LETT to 90 by the
board most all the plantations
from it to TerrebOnne and to the
sea-coast west of the LafOurche,
will he inundated. Some time ago
st. Mary elected a Mr.. Foster to
come up here to see about this
levee :; it not being in a dangerous
condition at the time, nothing
was done. Since his departure,
the river has been steadily rising
and the levee is washing badly,
if nothing is done, serious conse-
quences may follow and all the
interior again be flooded, us all
accounts from above Indicate
much higher water here. We are
now organizing to go to work Oh
this levee, aud need all the money
we can get. \ little from each
one will aid us materially for the
present. The levce is entirely un-
protected and l send you herein
a sketch to show its size and con
dition. What we need now is 800
or $500 from each interior parish
to secure the levee for the present
as the expense will be too great
for Iberville alone to bear, and
West Baton Rouge, Ill which Par
ish the levee is, can contribute
but little from her and onr peo
pie having been drowned ont for
so many years by this and Nor

injured now by waves and storms,

The Power Of Kindness

A Cadlz letter says '.Notice
had been posted in all the public
places that on a certain day the
bull called 'El Moro would be in
troduced into the arena, and that
when he should have been goad-
ed to the uttermost fury, young
girl would appear and reduce the
animal to quiet subjectiOn. The
people of Cadiz had heard of ia
Moro as the moss magnificent
bull ever brought in the city, and
it soon became known that the
girl thus advertised was a pea
SAINT girl of Espara, who had pet
ted the bull, and fed it and car
ed for it during the years of its
growth. On the appointed day
the vast amphitheatre was filled
with an anxious, eager crowd
The bulls had been killed and
Dragged away, and then the flour
ish OF trumpots announced the
coming of the hero of the day.
With a deep, terrific roar, Gel
Moro entered upon the scene. He
was truly magnifcent-a bovine
monarch-black and glossy, with
eyes of fire, dilating nOstrils and
wicked looking horns.
"The picadores attacked him
warily, hurled their banderillos
(small, dart-like jayelins, orna-
mented with ribbons, and and in
tended to jade and infi,riateJ.
The bull had killed three horses
finland, and had received eight
banderillOs in his neck and shOul
ders, when, upon given signal
the picadOres and matadores sud
denly Withdrew, leaving the in
turiated beast alone in his wild
paroxy SINS of wrath. Presently q
soft, musical note, liking the pip
ing of a lark, was heard. and di.
rectly afterward a girl not more
than fifteen years of age, with the
taSlClul SoAO VI tti AAuudluoAdu
peasant, and with IA pretty face,
sprang lightly into the arena, ap
preaching the bull tearlessly, at
the same time calling his name,
Moro +! Moro va vOy 7 At the
first sound of the sweet voice the
animal ceased bis fury, aud turn
ed toward the place whence it
came, and when he saw the girl
lie plainly manifested pleasure.
She came to his head and put
forth her hand, which he licked
with his tongue. Then she sang
low, sweet song, at the same
time care~sing the animal by pas
ting him on the forehead, and,
while she stopped and gently re-
moved the cruel banderillOs, after
which, with her arms around Gel
Moro's' NECK, che led him toward
the gate of the tOrril.'
