The 5th grand entertainment Of the
Philharmonics is to come oft on the s2d
inst. The operatta OF Ben Bolt, of
which the music was adapted by Prof.
Mayer is to be given. 1t is almost SUI
perfiuous for us to ask a well filled house
for the Philharmonics. Their musical
ability is so well known, and the .ad-
mirable manner in which their operattas
are performed, that it only requires a
simple notice of when they are to come
off. But to our friends at q distance
we say come, and let us show You that
though our village isn't the largest place
in creation, it can compete with a city
in its musical talent. Next week the

The n. Y. Sun has a carefully pre-
pared article upon the foreign immi-
grafton to the United States since 1890.
Up to this time 1SS0) the immigration
to our shores will reach, or actually
reaches, the enormous total of more
than 10,500,O00, or more than fifth of
our entire present population. This is
becoming matter for serious reflection,
and should the tide Of immigration still
continue to flow in uponus from foreign
countries as it has been doing for few
years past, Americans will soon lose
their identity altogether. Already st.
Louis is complaining that seven out of
ten of her population are foreigners,
full of foreign ideas, notions and preju-
dices, and that the native American
population of that great city are forced
to take back seats In every manner of
enterprise Or political movement. Near
ly all her Court and municipal officials
are. foreigners, and four -ffths of her
business men are the same. Chicago
and other Western and Eastern cities
present the same condition of things.

OUR RRAILROAD.-We learn that track
laying is progressing very rapidly be-
tween Nermilionville and Bayou
Carencro. With the immense force
now at work it cannot be long before
the latter point is reached, which is mid
way between Opelousas and Vermilion-
vile. The hardest work on the line
will be between Carencro and Caliham
bayou, where numerous ravines, washes
and gulleys will be encountered. The
rest of the way to Opelousas is very
short and perfectly level.

There is a six-year old boy Of our
acquaintance who is. a perfect little
genius in his way, and has circus
on the brain pretty heavily. Last
Saturday he worked for hours in coll
structing circus tent and ring on his
fathers premises. But the project not
exactly suiting his IDEAS in the matter
of its appointments, he abandoned it
for the present and has betaken himself
to the training of a couple of calves,
with which he is daily experimenting
He says if they don't exactly perform
the tricks he is teaching them he will
kill the one when he gets to be fifteen
years old and break the others back !!
Dreadful! But this boy is a resolute
little chap and will be pretty apt to
carry out what he has outlined. Look

Chicago Convention.
GARFIELD AND ARTHUR THE TICKET.

GARFIELD AND ARTHUR THE TICKET.
After most exciting and boisterous
struggle lasting through a whole week,
wherein Conkling, Logan, Cameron,
Chandler, and a big following of other
stalwarts figured prominently, and we
may say disgracefuily too, the Chicago
Convention settled down upon James
A. Garfield, of Ohio, for President, by
800 votes, and Chester A. Arthur, of
New York, for Vice President, by vote
of 46S.
The nomination of Garfield, it is
stated, was accomplished by coalition
Of Blain'sfriends and Sherman's friends
in order to beat Grant.
Some Of the leading Republican papers
indorse the nomination, but it is clear
to our mind that their favorable COM
ments are lacking in that enthusiasm,
warmth and fervor that have hitherto
characterized their spontaneous out
bursts of applause on such momentous
occasion. ..5.-..,... ....s.-..
BE this as it may, one thing is very
certain, and that is, that Grant, Blaine
and Sherman are completely "done for,n
at least for a long time to come if not
for always. ......
1t remains to be seen whether the
late factions, so bitterly arrayed against
each other, will unitedly come up to
the support Of the ticket nominated.
Although it is claimed they will do so,
we entertain serious doubts about the
matter, inasmuch as the Grant faction
have already expressed their determine
ton to remain sublimely passive and
Indifferent during the canvass. They
take no stock in the ticket nominated.
True, Conkling and Logan say it will
do, but, if past experience be any cri-
terion by which to pass Judgment
upon the matter, Messrs. Conkling and
Logan have allowed words to escape
their lips that neither of them entertains
at heart. " |

Quite serious accident occurred here
last Sunday morning. While Mrs.
Lucius Dupr6 and Mrs. w. T. Anderson
were on their way to the Catholic
Church in a buggy, the horse took
freight at some object upon the street,
and ran off at al alarming speed, rear
ing, pitching, and kicking the vehicle
almost to pieces. The two ladies were
thrown out violently upon the ground,
and one of them, Mrs. Dupre, was quite
seriously injured; the other, fortunately,
got off with only slight confusion or
two. The buggy capsized and became
a complete wreck, and the horse, tear
ing himself away from the debris, ran
at full speed toward the church where
lie came to halt. His hind legs were
pretty seriously used up by the kicking
process through which he had gone.
This is a warning to ladies. They
should never venture out alone in this
manner, unless they are positively sat
isied there is no danger in the animal
they are driving. p- .-s--.- .r ..='s.. ..-' .

Bright Prospects Ahead for the
Democracy.

1t is not difficult to perceive that the
feeling is rapidly spreading that if the
Democrats do not carry the next Presi-
Dental election it will he their own
fault, and there is evidently d general
resolve that they will not commit such
fault.
Great care will be taken in the selec-
ton of a candidate at Cincinnati, and
that candidate, whoever he may be,
will receive the hearty and almost
unanimous support of the party.
| The ticket just nominated at Chicago
may prove a strong one, but We have
our doubts about its effectiveness at
the supreme hour of trial. The champ
ion stalwarts of the North, East and
West have been foiled in the matter of
their respective preferences, and no
doubt their disappointment will breed
detection among the rank and file of
the Republican party. And we would
not be the least surprised to see that
defective take wider range than one
would likely suspect thus early in the
campaign. Among these latter there
seems already to be a feeling that the
Republican party has survived its use
fulness and might as well be disbanded.
Let the Cincinnati Convention give
the party.a strong Standard bearer, and
the ides of November will witness the
fr1n Mt
that ever crowned the party or greeted
the country. Mark the prediction.
But unless something is done by Con-
gress to change the old system Of count
ing the electoral vote, and purging the
same of the obnoxious feature that now
attaches to it, the most brilliant victory
achieved by the Democratic party will
amount to nothing. Already tho boast
is made by our political adversaries
that they will remain masters of the
situation whether they are successful
or not at the ballot-box. This is sig
and outlines the policy they
intend to persue in the event of defeat
by the will of a majority of the people.
Forewarned is to be forearmed, and if |
both branches of Congress, which are
now largely Democratic, will permit
that body to come to an adjournment
without some clearly defined action
upon this vitality important subject, then
the blame Of another such outrage as
was witnessed four years ago will at
tach to Congress, or rather the majority |
in Congress, and not to the people.

We have heard of an Indian chief in
olden times sowing gunpowder with the
expectation Of realizing a bounteous crop
of the same, but never, until few days
ago, had we heard of ice-cream being
subjected to some such ludicrous test.
1t is related to us that upon a certain
occasion a dusky native of this region
of country chanced to tackle an ice
cream vender, and after induIging to
his hearts content in the delicious
luxury, concluded he would invest in a
quarters worth OF the rarity for his
old woman and children at home, some
miles distant from town. After pro-
curing the cream he carefully wrapped
it up in his pocket handkerchief and
swung it to one Of the straps of his
saddle, and with smile of contentment
proudly rode off. 1t is needless to say
that his modification was equal to his
surprise when he found out, upon
reaching his home, that his precious
little bundle had acilted i, For a long
time afterwards he was under the i'm
preston that trick had been played
off upon him, and that what he had
bought and paid for had been dextrously
transformed into something else.
