About 90 miles from Waldron there

from a hale, old-style wife, there be-

named Lulu. A few months ago, while
the old man and lady were away from

Opelousas has decidedly taken a step
in advance. We have the philharmonic
Society, which lras developed Ill an
extraordinary degree the marked musl-
cal ability of this community and winch
will shortly give us the opera OF LAZY
Bell. We have too the Social Dramatic
Circle, which gave us on Tuesday night
some most enjoyable hours. The play
"The Pride of the Market,' is no favor
ito of ours certainly. It is rather point
less and requires a deal Of spirit and
verve in the actors to make Undressing.
But fortunately Tor the pleasure OF the
evening our amateurs vltaIlZcd the
"Pride of the Market" into an inter-
esting performance. No invidious COM
narisons us to the merits Of the different
performers would be in good taste i'll
an amateur performance. 1t is only
among professionals that we dare to
criticize. We will only say that the
acting of the ladies would have done
credit to any stage. No experienced
actresses could be more on Jait, as to
all the little minute particulars which
insure success on the boards. The
movements aud gestures, the proper
pitching Of the voice, the effective
groupings to make striking tableaux,
were all noticeable on Tuesday night.
! 1t is probable IL great deal OF this sue
| cess is due to the manager, our estlmable
citizen Prof. Richard. What is it that
that versatile genius does not know
about spectacular performances or III
fact performances OF any kind. l1t
painted the scenery too and 1t was
tastefully done. He never fails i'll any
thing he undertakes, for he brings to i
the vitalizing power OF genius. 1t Is ;
| constant wonder to us, that he has no
sought Il wider theatre for the exercise
of his talents than this little countr,
town. We are glad to keep him though
and we are sure the Social Circle o
OpeIousas can i'll spare him. The SO
cial Circle has reason to cOngratuiat
itself upon success. There were at LEAFS
three hundred people present Tucsda
r night. We must call attention hoWeve
to one omission, which should be rcctl
| fled on future occasions. The window
were only partially open from the tol

There is much less whistling among
farmers men than forty OF fifty years

a boy most Of the men sang at pioWs
and with their teams. heir voices
borne over the hills by the breeze, were
one of the charms OF a country ramble.
They mostly sang love songs or sentl-

Holding on seems the great secret OF
success In mining, as III 50 many other
undertakings. Two gentlemen OF my
acquaintance we're some years ago APP
PREACHED by u red shirted, ragged, and
rouch-looking individual, who declared
himself ga Mono county miner, hat
broke" He related to them where he
had been exploring, spoke OF several
nieces of mining property he had loca-
ted, and offered them tWO-thlltss OF one
of these claims for $50, if they would
undertake, after due examination, to
sink a shaft and develop the property.
Risking the $3.50, the gentlemen accom-
panied the miner to a notary $, where
lie decided them over tWO-tllIrds OF the
property as agreed. Some time after
wards the new owners sent all expert,
who reported most favorably OF the
property, but declared it was situated
in such an out-of- the-way place that
the transportation of supplies, etc,
would render it very expensive TO work.
The gentlemen thereupon, after spend
mo n few hundred dollars on the mine,
discontinued, and only had the rcgula-
ton 500 worth of labor performed
each year, so as not to lose all claim to
the property. Last year the develop
ment in Bodie and the increased facili-
ties thereby afforded for reaching then
nronerty, induced them to make q little
frip in the fall to the spot, They ex-
/ amined the mino, got the opinion of To-
cal exnerts as to it's merits, and early

4 Bold Attempt at Abduction.

BUFFALO, Sept. 2J.-Dctails Of q bold
attempt ut abduction here have just
come to light. i young man named
Charles Z. Schuyler, Il telegraph opera
tor, called on a SiXtecn-year old daugl-
ter of one OF our prominent citizens on
TUESDAY while she was attending school,
representing that he was employed IN
her fathers office, that her father had
been injured by the fall OF q building,
and that he was sent by him to bring
her to him.
! She accompanied Schuyler to the place
where it was represented that her father
was lying. On entering the room Schuy-
Ter locked the doors, seized the young
lady, and, telling her OF his purpose to
keep her a prisoner until certain sum
t Of money had been paid, forced her to
copy the following part OF letter to
her father which he had written:

ing and begged to be released, promis-
ing to raise the required sum and bring
it to lim.] On her swearing never to
disclose what had happened she was
released.

had taken place. Schuyler isnow under
