Agents are wanted everywhere every
day, but no better cause ever enlisted
the services of any one than is advertised
in our columns asking for volunteers
to aid in the sale Of the book, that took
over four years to prepare, and which
was all ready for the publisher when
that stern Commander, grim Death,
called General John Bell Hood from the
field of his usefulness amid his happy
family circle. He left ten little babes,
twins chiefly, and Gen. Beauregard has
assumed the duty of giving to the
world, without any additional note or
comment, the work called advance
and Retreat, Personal Experiences in
the United States and Confederate
States Armies" The book is beautifully
gotten up and sold at low price, $500.
The entire proceeds to be devoted to
'The Hood Orphan Memorial FUND.-
invested in the Registered loan of the
United States, for the support, nurture,
care and education of these helpless
innocents whose deplorable condition
appeals to the sympathies Of all.

The 4th day of March was duly cele-
brated by our fire companies. The
Hope Hook and Ladder company, Ope-
lousas Fire company No. and Opelou-
sas Fire Company No. 2, formed in
prossession in the Courthouse square,
when, headed by the Opelousas Inde.
pendent Brass Band, they commenced
parade through the streets. AS usual
they were accompanied by the mayor and
town council in carriages. We ewere glad
to note that the companies turned out
unusually strong in numbers, and that
they were everywhere on their march
received with cheers. Our worthy
mayor, as usual, delivered a short
address, after the parade, to the COM
panies, after which they partook Of a
magnificent collation. under the trees of
the Courthouse square, which collation.
had been furnished at the expense of
the town. Speeches delivered on that
occasion by prominent members of the
different companies will be published
in full next week. Our memory is bad,
and our short hand reporter has not
copied his notes in time for this issue.

Friendless and Alone.
DEATH IN A GARRET.

On Sunday morning a colored man
passing vacant dwelling on the out
skirts Of Opeiousas, was surprised to
hear groans proceeding from the upper
portion of the house. Out of curiosity
lie entered and on looking into one of
the upper rooms, he discovered white
man in an unconscious state, lying on
the floor, an open knife by his side, and
about ones third of bottle Of sulphate
of morphine in reach of his hand. He
(the colored man) Immediately gave
the alarm, and in few minutes quite a
crowd had collected. The man was
recognized as q man by the name OF
VIM. Ayers, carpenter, who had been
but short time here and who for two
or three days had been on drunken
spree. DR.. James Ray mayor of the
town, being notified, was promptly on
the spot, and had the man removed to a
vacant room in the lower part of the
Jail, where every means known were
used to restore life, but without effect
He was partially restored to conscious
ness, but not sufficiently to find out the
amount of morphine he had taken
whether it was done for the purpose OF
suicide, or whether he had accidentally
taken an overdose in trying to relieve
his suffering. He died that evening
We understand he was from Wisconsin
and leaves family, one of his daugh.
ters being teacher. He was buried BY
the town next day.

SIMPLICITY IN DREss.-Few seem to
be aware of the effect of simplicity in
the midst Of elaborated and expensive
artifice. Let "a young woman with no
hair but her own, and that simply
dressed, enter room filled with those
whose heads are elaborately built up
with a profusion of purchased locks,
and see who will be most admired. It
is great advantage for woman, in
these days of artitice, to remain herself,
and thus be unlike everyone else. A
simple dress, white or black, will
produce the greatest effect when sur:
rounded by the most gorgeous and
nashy costumes. These serve, as it
were, as frames for the former, and
women are often forced to confess that
they have draped themselves magnifi-
Gently, at an immense expe nse for nc
other purpose than to heighten by
contrast the beauty of a rival.

The Independent Guards" "a military
company formed in this town, will very
soon receive their new uniforms, to-
gether with their complement of arms
from the State arsenal. Senator Rob
ertson, we understand, has taken espe-
cial pains to see that the arms sent are
of the best and latest improved patterns.
Their captain, E. Sumpter Taylor, will
be to able to give them the benefit Of a
four years experience in the army of
Virginia during the late war, and we
feel certain in few months better
drilled OF equipped company can not be
found in Louisiana. Remember their
ball Oh the 10Th of this month, which
promises to be a grand success.

The Mississippi legislature has passed
law requiring bachelors over twenty
five years Of age to pay a poll tax OF
three dollars. But how is this tax to be
collected, when the bachelor has no
property? If the bachelors were taxed
a good sum, say twenty-five dollars pei
annum, and imprisoned till they pay it,
and the amount of such tax used as a
dover fund for girls who are poor and
may be not beautiful, and have not
married before a certain age, the object
might be acconplished-the marriages
Of all the girls if there should be enough
men to round.

The New Orleans, Texas and
Colorado RailrOad,
RAILROAD GRADING BEGUN NEAR THE
CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF OPE-
LOUSAS-WORK PROGRESSING.

On Monday morning TO the surprise
of the citizens Of our town, large
| number OF workmen were seen gather
ing upon the western line of the cor
Doration, with spade and pick. James
Ray, Mayor of Opelo"sas; Hon. G. w.
Hudspeth, District Judge; Hon. j. B.
A. Fontenot, Parish Judge Hon. H. L.
Garland, atty law; Hon. j. A. Martel,
exDistrict Judge and atty -at-law Hon.
Adolphe Garrigues, ex-Parish Judge
and tax collector; Laurent Dupre, Esq,
attorney for the Railroad /; Joseph Bloch,
Esq, one OF our most prominent meI-
chants, and Archie P. Williams, notary
public, We're among the crowd assembled
to witness the breaking of ground. The
ceremony Was opened by His Honor the
Mayor, who in a most impressive speech
which was delivered in his usual elo-
quent style, called upon the citizens
there assembled to give encouragement
and aid to the road, which was soon to
pour into the laps of Opelousas Il golden
shower of wealth. His speech was cut
short by the accidental popping of
bottle of champaign, which sparkling
fluid soon filled the glasses in the hands
of the gentlemen present. AS soon as
the last glass was finished, His Honor
the Mayor, called the workmen present
to hand over dozen spades, Wllic.. were
soon in the hands Of the company as
sembled. Coats wpfe taken oft, md
Judge A. Garrisues and Hon. 3. A.
Martel, as the oldest citizens present
were called upon to throw the first
spades full of earth w]ich would soon
arise into an embankment thirty feet
high. They both did their duty, but
future generations, we are afraid, will
always remain i'll ignorance as to which
threw the first spade full, both having
done it so quickly, that the bystanders
were equally divided as to who was
first. To both we give the honor. They
were followed by the others in quick
succession. The work continued for
several hours, but gradually spades were
resigned into the hands of the workmen,
and the crowd dispersed, leaving His
Honor the Mayor to continue the work
with his able body of workmen. The
force now at work is composed of first
class workmen, the number variously
estimated at from fifty to sixty in num-
Der. His Honor the Mayor will remain in
charge until relieved by the chief super
intendent Of the road. The work could
not be in better hands, and we hope.it
may remain in his charge for some time
to come. Tie first link Of the great
railroad, whose terminus will be in
that land Of gold, Colorado, has been
forged, and Opelousas has had the
honor of striking the first blow, which
will soon bring the iron horse in our
midst. Steel rails were landed by the
Yazoo on her last trip to commence
laying the track as fast as the grading
is finished. Hurrah for Opelonsas and
the New Orleans Texas and Colorado
Railroad! Who says ace can't begin a
railroad in this great parish Of st.
Landry.
