THE FORESTS ENTERrA1NuENrs-A

THE FORESTS ENTERTAINMENTS
heavy rain fall on the evening ofThursdav
4th, prevented our young friends of the
Forests fir ,m giving the performance con-
templated for that occasion. Nothing
daunted however, they produced
their pla on the following evening",
and were greeted by very large and
appreciative audience. The programme
was an attractive one, and the stage
decorations, scenery &C., were gotten up
in admirable style, and evidently at heavy
expense. Tho drop curtain, painted by
Professor Feltmeir, expressly for the &C.
casion was much admired and elected
hearty applause from the delighted au-
dience. The press upon our columns this
week forbids that extended aud detailed
account which our young friends merit.
Again, on'Tuesday last, large and very
brilliant audience assembled to witness
the rendition of the plays announced
for that evening. Just at the begin
ming of the first act, an unhappy oco ur-
renee took place which interrupted the
performances for the moment and served
to cast shadow overs the enjoyment of
the evening. The little son of our fellow
townsnan, Mr.. N. Brasseau, was stricken
with spasm, and ut the present
writing, Thursday afternoon, remains
dangerously ill. Under the disadvantage.
Gus circumstances, the performances were
very good. On this as on the former even-
mig. the festivities were closed with q |
grand dance which was continued to q late |
hour of the morning. The music was |
furnished by Bayou Sara Band, under
the leadership of Professor Sche2ck. We |
were pleased to note the improvement |
which has taken place in the playing of
these young gentlemen, and trust they
will perseverein their efforts toward pro-
viding the community with first class
band. AS to'the FORESTS and their lady
coadjutors, we can congratulate them
on the recognition of their merits, so
literally extended by their fellow-citi-
zens.

Never Too Late TO Learn.

Socrates, at an extremely old age,
learned to play on musical instru-
ments.
Cato, at eighty years of age, began
to study the Greek language.
Plutarch, when between seventy
and eighty, commenced the study
of Latin.
Boccaccio was thirty-five years of
age when he commenced his studies
in light literature, yet be became
one of the greatest masters of the
Tuscan dialect-Dante and Plutarch
being the other two.
Sir Henry Spelman neglected the
sciences in his youth, but com
menced the study of them when he
was between fifty and sixty years
Of age. After this time he became
most learned antiquarian and
lawyer.
DR.. Johnson applied himself to
the Dutch language but few years
before his death.
Ludovico Monaldesco, at the
great age of one hundred and fifteen
years, wrote the memoirs of his own

Ogilby, the translator OF Homer

fifty.
Franklin did not fully commence

MISSISSIPPI must be a happy
State, if we are to believe the fol-
lowing from the Columbus Demo-
crat:
Mississippi has no public debt ex-
cept a small amount in fund bonds
which are held at home and worth
their face in gold. State tax is very
low and county taxes are reasonably
so. Absolute peace and quiet reign
throughout her borders. The court
dOckets, civil and criminal, are
clearer than ever before and District
Attorneys get whole weeks of rest
after the circuit begins. Except
poll taxes, but little has been carried
to the delinquent list in any of the
counties. We have plenty to eat
and reasonable health. We have
no tramps except Northern ones,
and theSeare usually quiet and inOf-
fensive. Horses and cattle are in
good condition and hogs have a rest
from negro thieves and cholera.
Democrats and Radicals have for
gotten their past animOSitics and
dwell together in peace. The daily
whisky bill of the population is
light and growing lighter. In spite
of wind and weather crop prospects
are fair. But we grumble.

The Wrong woman.

4 New Hampshire man was going
on trip with the partner of his bOs-
ON recently, and the train started
off very suddenly while he was talk
ing with his friends. He grabbed
hold Of a woman and chucked her
on the train, jumped after her, and
away he went, a thousand miles an
hour, with his wife shrieking and
tearing her hair on the platform, a
woman he had never seen before,
going into Mysteries in the car, call
ing him a monster and yelling Save
me ~ By a terrible mistake he had
got hold of the wrong woman, and
the conductor, refusing to listen to
his explanations, kicked him out of
the car, the brakeman chucked him
into the ditch, the sheriff met him
before he had got halfway baik to
town and put handouts on him and
when at last he got home, he saw
his business partner holding his
wife on his lap and telling her that
there were men in the world who
loved her much better than her
faithless husband ever did.

RichteIs,s Air-Ship.

HARTFORD, Con-, June r.
Three postponements, necessitated
by heavy rains, had induced the
Hartford people to believe that fate
was making a dead set against Prof.
Richtels's determination to show
that his new flying machine was
really capable of aerial navigation.
To-day was far from favorable for
an outdoor exhibition, yet it was
given, and with gratifying success.
The large assemblage that came to
witness what they fully believed
would be only another unsuccessful
attempt to solve the problem of
navigating the air were pleasantly
disappointed. The machine not
only rose in the air, but moved
backward and forward, up and
down, at the option of the aeronaut,
and although embracing in part the
balloon principle, the evolutions
were accomplished without waste
of gas in defending or any use Of
ballast whatever. The aeronant
worked the central propeller of the
machine with effect, and rose over
every obstacle to the highth of one
nunIGGG lCCis Lie bICCAC hSAo
blowing to the eastward, and the
exhibitor allowed his machine to
be carried with it for an eighth of a
mile, and amused himself by show
ing his ability to ascend or
descend at will. Then the pro-
pellor at the pointed end of the
! Framework was set in motion, and
the machine shifts its course, twist
ing and turning in small circles.
Still its general drift was to the
eastward, with the wind, and the
spectators freely expressed the opin-
ion that its powers were at an end,
and that it could never return
against the wind, but at a signal
from Prof. Richtels the machine
was pointed back towards the eX-
hibitiOn grounds. The propelling
wheel was started at tOp-speed, and
with accelerated motion the ship
sailed along back, at an altitude OF
one hundred feet, until it lowered
over the exhibition grounds; then.
amid general applause, the central
propeller was set in motion, and
under its influence the ship sank
slowly and easily to the earth, land
ing within a half dozen rods from
the original starting point.

The Roads of Ireland.
Cor. Reading Times

The public roads of Ireland are alb
sOlutely perfect. Go where you will
through the rural districts, and the
roads are thoroughly turn-piked,
thoroughly drained, and as level as
board. The bridges over the
creeks and rivers are all of stone.
Every road has a sidewalk for foot
passengers elevated about six inches
over the main road, and from four to
six feet wide. The fences on either
side are OfsOlid stone masonry, to the
height of from four to six feet, upon
the top of which are growing hedges
of hawthorn or fuTZe, or grass and
wall flowers. The walls inclOsing
the roads are feStOoned with ivy and
wild flowers, producing a charming
effect. Every country seat is thus
"hedged in" from the outer world.
There is no getting over the barrier,
and access can only be had through
the lodge gates, which are in charge
of the lodge keeper, generally a
woman, who admits a favored few.
The cOnstabulary are always on hand
to arrest trespassers. Tramps have
a poor show in Ireland. They must
keep the roads-or go to Jail.

SABRE AGAINST PIsToL.-On tn

SABRE AGAINST PIsTOL.-On the
Sherman march to the sea, there
were almost daily conflicts between
Wheeler's and Kilpatrick's scout
ing parties. In one of these, Tom
Brown, a mere youth, belonging to
Hays's Tennessee Battalion, Dib-
breIl's brigade, came face to face
with big fellow who was riding a
small mule. Surrender, you d-n
rebel - exclaimed the confident
Yank, with his sabre raised over
the little fellows head. $50 to
hip exclaimed the youthful reb-
ell, with his pistol presented. Sabre
descended and trigger was pulled at
the same instant. The Federal sank
battle-ground, shot through thechest,
and the rebel received a cut on the
head which made him see stars and
bleed freely, but proved trifing in
the end.-ARadIS Of the ATn2y Of
