A Bright Youth.


Some years ago, somewhere
within the limits of the parish of
Lafourche was born a child whose
baptismal name was Jules Sc
veignes.
He grew up as most boys gen.
orally do, and as he drew near to
manhood, shook the dust from
his native parish and went to
New Orleans where he obtained
a situation and began to earn a
livelihood.
But the profits of a gay clerk
did not flow into Jules pocket
fast enough to CRAFTY his ambi.
ton to become "a millionaire, and
consequently it was not long be-
fore the genius of the clerk Gauss
ed the cash on hand to be sever.
al hundred dollars short of what
the cash book claimed. when
Jules emigrated from the crescent
city until there would he an i'm
pr0vement in the moral ideas held
by certain people who did not ap.
prove such a want Of equilibrium
in the balance sheet.
The reign OF Warmoth and
Kellogg SOON brought about tho
change that Seveignes was anx.
iously anticipating. He returned
and was elected by Mad. Wells
returning board to the legislature
from LatOurche.
Here his millionaire ideas came
to the front, and Jules announced
himself on the '.make." He tes-
titled and swore to any thing that
was required 10y the champion
liar during the investigation of
bis temporal power. And now
that his friend Kellogg is troding
OH slippery ground and his OPP
portuuities for AL ling new hon
ors to his fame as a liar, Seveis-
mes went to Washington to add
the weight Of his testimony to
stIffen the foundation upon which
his friend is standing z. The fol.
loving scenes occurred:
i jules Sev-igncs, the next wit
ness, testified that he WAS il mem
Der OF the Packard Legislature,
and present IL the joint conv-n-
ton that elected Kellogg to the
Senate, and voted for him on
that day.
An affidavit was read, signed
10y witness, stating that he WAS
not present in the Legislature III
January. 1873, when Kellogg was
elected foi the long term. but ~
ted for him the next day.
These two afidavlts must have
made Kellogg trcmble for his
reputation, rs one of them GER
tainly was a achopper.

The Late Entertainment.

with the gaieties OF Thurs
day night June 9Th.
On Friday the light rains Of
the night previous developed in
to heavy showers and gave Il dis
agreeable prospect for the night
of the sixth. But although the
falling waters dampened the dust
it had an opposite influence on
the spirits of the ladies who had
the matter in charge.
At night Waverley Hall began
to fill NJ rapidly, the audience
being considerably greater than
the one of the previous night.
The entertainment of the even.
ing commenced with the play Of
CINDERELLA,
OR THE LITTLE GLASS SLIPPER
in which nearly all the pretty lit
tie girls and rafting boys in the
town aud surrounding county
were engaged. The little folks
were brilliant in costumes. and
performed the respective parts
assigned to them admirably we'll
The criticism of a stranger who
is well posted was "that it was
the best exhibition he had ever
witnessed outside CT a THEATRE
and that was the universal Opin'
ion OF the audience.
Such exhibitions as that of
Cinderella should meet with ell
enlargement and secure the APP
probation Of the entire communi
ty. They have all elevating in
tiuence upon the lit IL folks who
perform their parts by giving
them conf dence in themselves
and proving to them that they
may b. useful in society-that
they can afford pleasure to the
older folks IN we'll as making
amusement Tor their own little
hearts.
The preparation of such a play
ia Cinderella is no small labor,
and requires days of thought,
patience aud good management
to prepare 80 or 40 children to
act their parts in such an exhibi-
ton. The credit OF the excellent
success OF this piece on last II ght
week is due to Miss Bessie Guion,
whose skill, taste and energy
were exercised for nearly an Ell.
tire month in its preparation and
study.
This concluded, the supper.
lunch and ice cream tables were
surrounded and "a general charge
made thereon.
The hall was cleared and dane
ing kept up until the growing
of the morning cock indicated
that it WAS time for all respects
able people to be going home.
A special train from Houma
brought np some 50 visitors which
number would have been trebled
had the weather been fair. In
fact had the weather been pro.
p~itious, the building could not
have admitted all who would
have been present.
The first evening there were
present about 375 persons, the
second about $50. The whole
entertainment proved tO bc one
of the most brilliant that has
ever been given in Waverley
Hall and netted u handsome
purse to the ladies' for the bene-
tit and use Of St. Johns Church.
A rich treat WAS given the
audience in the music furnished
by Mrs. w. b. Pugh on the piano
and Robert l.. Pngh with the
violin. These accomplished per
formers assisted throughout the
entertainment. and elected the
warmest encOminms from the
hearers. Such excelienG music
enhanced greatly the pleasures OF
the audience, which satisfaction

Diabolism in Wilmington.

The fatal shooting of Councilman Rich

danger of carrying and handling deadly
weapons. This community has been terri
bly, misrepresented and outraged by the
acts of a few desperately bad characters
within the past few years. The excite
ment over the hanging of Rhodes, for
the killing of The negro Temple, on the
causeway, had only shortly thereafter sub
sided when the murder of Collins occurred
at the saloon of Mary McCann; then fol.
lowed the Perry DENNY murder near the
same place, on the causeway where Rhodes
was killed. This was succeeded bv the
beating and robbing of an old man by a
gang of young thieves, on the public road
near the city limits; and now the COM
munity is startled by the fatal shooting of
Councilman Rowe. These acts of outlawry

THE NEW SONG OF THE SHIRT.

THE Boston School Committee has decidedtha two
hours week are too much to devote to sewing, as
tour-and-twenty minutes are daily thus consumedJ
When was youth my sister went
10 the public school, where she was sent;
She studied her books, and was taught to sew
And learned where the buttons on shirt should CO.
My garments, all from heels to head
In order she kept with needle anq thread;
But to learn all that it daily took
Fourand-twenty minutes from dOg-eared book.
But the frugal men on the committee
Swore they must rule economically:
So the course they cut in various parts,
And classified sewing as among Lost Arts
The sewing was stopped, and the taxes paid
For sewing were reaped with retrenchant blade
And the stamps thus saved were wisely spent
In buying corner lois in the Firmament.
At length my sister married got,
And shared with her husband a rural lot;
She made his waistcOats and she darned his socks.
And patched his Sunday trousers and her pretty
froeks.
As there. then, none to sew for me,
My buttonleSs garments all fOuted free;
So determined though late in life,
From the public school to choose me wife
knew what my sister dear could do;
That she could write and cipher, and do sewing too
So thought from the schol my wife I'll bring
And she'll know how to sew and all that sort of thing
we q n0rdly started on the journey OF life
When off popped button. and l said tO my wife,
- Oh, here's a fine chance your skill TO display
| In sewing on that button right straight away"
| Oh. what do you think, then said my frau
Really Jim, I'd like to, but don't know how
| Oh! what a confession was that she made;
| A girl for whose schooling my taxes had paid?
/ So said, Maria Jane in the name of your aunt
Do really understand you to say that yOu cam" -
| That's just what mean" she shrly sings,
In the public schools of Boston they don't teacl
such things"
/ Then clasped my hands with franced air,
1 And tugged at the roots of my auburn hair;
And asked my wife quite angrily,
When was it that she went to the schools SO free.
| She opened her lips and whispered me-
Il went in the day of economy,
| l went when sapient committee
Said sewing was sort of a luxury.
"All we were taught when we went to school
| Was to get by heart the Golden Rule,
That our only aim in life should be
TO try and be as wise as the committee"
| have learned at last, through experience,
| If a man wants q wife with hOmely sense,
He must wed no girl who since 20
Has graduated been from schools so fine.
