FRAZEE--In Opeiousas February "a, 1880,
Rev. @. A. Frazee, aged GO years.
Yhe subject of this sad sketch, was a native
of Cleveland, Ohio, but had been a resident
of st. Landry parish about forty years at the
time of his death. When quite young, Mr..
Frazee married the daughter of Thomas ii.
Lewis, Esq, one of the most prominent law
yers at the Opelousas bar at that time. His
wife died few years ago, and four children
two sons and two daughters their
parents. In the death OF MIR. FraZee, st. Ian
dry parish has lost the strongest link IN her
educational interests he having been ali edu-
Gator of her boys and young men for more
than thirty years Many OF our riiost intelli-
gent citizens, lawyers, physicians and planters
NOW in, and past, middle life, were his pu-
pills and mourn him as the loved preceptor
of their childhood and maturer years, Doubt
less his long and painful iilness-"paralysis
or softening of the brain " which terminated
his useful life--wes caused by his continued
and laborious duties as a teacher. He is gone
to the shadows of the spirit land A minister
of the Methodist Church for quarter Of a
century, he died In the faith, which during
life, he had preached TO thousands of his fel-
low men. While our entire population la
ment his untimely decease, he now rests from
the weary labors Of life. While we miss his
genial face and the kindly tones Of his cheer
full voice, he has joined companionship with
his fathers in the spirit world The vast CON
course OF people who followed his remains to
the grave, fully attested the esteem Which his
memory commanded, and solemnly spoke the
bereavement our parish has sustained In his
loss lie was buried with the services Of his
church, and the honors of the masonic order,
Of which he was q worthy and prominent

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, not only in
st. Landry but in many other parishes,
will be made sorrowful by the news OF
the death of Rev. G. A. Frazee, at Ope,
lousas, on the gath ultimo. Many in
Calcasieu will read with mournful
interest the obituary notice which we
copy from the 0pclousas Courier. lie
was man of commanding intellect, a
preacher who combined the seyerest
logic with burning cloquence, teacher
"apt to teach" and a citizen whose
upright walk and genial conversation
made his society always attractive.
The active and vigorous brain, which
delighted equally IN iiaparting instruc-
ton to youth, and in searching out
I" the deep things of God" rests from
its labers. His life was pre-eminently
useful, and we are glad that his end
was peace.

Henry, of Cameron, to the revenue
bill, providing that the three mill tax
levied to pay the interest on the
State debt shall be fully collected

the bondholders signify their desire to
exchange their bonds for new bonds at
seveuty-tiye cents on the dollar, as pro-
yided for in the State debt ordinance !;
requiring the Governor to issue his
proclamation to the bondholders, re-
guessing them to state whether they
desire the exchange, and in case they
do, authorizing the Governor to direct
the tax collectors to collect the three
mill interest tax.

James Gordon Bennett is torn
down, wild, reckless and dissipated fell
low we are told. He is a young man
yet, and by no means the richest man
in America, yet he has electrified both
Europe and America by bis prineely
liberality to Ireland. We remember
to have heard of many acts of disinter-
ested benevolence of this wild fellow
before this last browning one of heaven
approved charity. Once there was
a fayorite and promising young printer
in his office, who married lovely Girl
and went to the West. lie soon sick
ened and died, at Omaha, we believe.
The news finally reached the Herald
composing room, and the boys were
throwing in their hard-earned dimes
and quarters to raise a sum sufficient
to bring home the bereaved widow of
their friend. Bennett happened in the
room at the time, and enqaired what
was mp. Upon being told he said,
/" Boys, pat me down for twenty five
thousand" The "boys" thought it
rather poor joke until few mo-
ments after, check for that amount
came up from the Office. These are
not the acts of bad man, surely

Nome Life N Hundred Years
Ago.

One hundred Years ago not pound
OF coal or a cubic foot Of Illuminating
gas had been burned in the country.
No iron stoves were used and no con
tiivance for economiziDg heat were en-
ployed until Dr. Franklin invented the
iron framed fireplace which still bears
his name. All the cooking and warm
ing, In town as well as in the country,
were done by the aid of fire kihdled
on the brick hearth or in the brick
ovens. Pine knots or tallow candles
furnished the light for the long winter
nights, and sanded floors supplied the
place Of rigs and carpets. The water
used for household purposes was drawn
from deep wells with the creaking
sweep. No form Of pump was used IN
this country 50 far as we can learn, un-
til after the commencement of the pres
ent century, There were no friction
matches in those days, by the aid Of
which a fire could be easily kindled, and
# the fire went out upon the hearth over
night and the finder was damp, so that
the spark would not catch, the altcrna-
tive remained of wading through the
snow mile or so to borrow brand of a
neighbor. Only one room in any house
was warm, unless some member of the
family was i'll; in all the rest the tenn
perature was at zero during many
nights in winter. The men and wo-
men of hundred years ago undrossed
and went to their beds in a temperature
colder than that of our barns and wood
sheds and they never complained.
