power and goodness, has been pleased to
remove from among us our beloved class

the hearts of all with whom she came in
contact, whose accomplishments and vir-
tues we instinctively admired, and whose
graceful demeanor and Christian character
we had learned to love.
Whereas, In obedience to the dictates Of
our feelings, we think it proper to give
some expression of our regard for her high
and noble character.

Why should the Town Council per-
nit milk and vegetable vendors to drive
through the streets with their vehicles
aud peddle out their contents? Why not
have all these things sold exclusively
at the Market House? The Council
should deal fairly. Since they have
driven game vendors to the Market
House, they should also drive all other
street vendors to the same place. Let us
have a little consistency and fair deal
ing all around. Decency requires it
good policy and sound discretion i'm

The railroad is bringing some strange
customers into Opelousas. The other
day we met a fellow all the way from
Bangor, Maine, who asked us what
prospects would there he for the estab-
lishment of "Grangor" mandatory
here +? We had never heard of the name,
and inquired what it was. He looked
surprised at our ignorance, and ex-
planned that it was a continuance by
which the finest kind of new leather
could be made out of old worn out boots,
shoes, scraps Of betting, etc. Weroared,
and he passed on. Another was anxious
to dispose of recipe for making all
kinds of liquors out of corn-cobs, mo-
lasses, and pepper. And still another
had an ingenious apparatus for making
pork sausages, he said, out Of the poor
est beef. We told the two latter fellows
to cast anchor right here, that this was
Just the place for them. The last
heard of the "Grangor" man, he was
vending his way In the direction OF
Washington.

BLoCH'S BAzAR.-We stepped into
Bloch's store last Thursday evening just
to take squint at his mammoth stock OF
goods. We were amazed at the huge
piles that confronted us on all sides.
Counters, shelves, and every available
spot in the spacious building are cram
med, damned, and literally packed with
the most elegant looking goods we have
ever seen displayed in any store-city or
country. The clerks We're all busy as
bees. Even our old friend Lefebvre
was there, wrapping up and labelling
packages of goods with tue dexterity Of
a youth OF sixteen. We take especial
pleasure III noticing this store, for it
reflects not only credit upon the gentle
manly and enterprisins proprietor, but
is really an ornament to the town of
OpelousaS.

The REASON Whit has been
limited to us that the reason why some
merchants don't advertise their goods
is because they never have anything
new to advertise. They keep the same
old stock on hand the year round. Well,
this being the case, we don't blame
them at all. There is no use whatever
in advertising old goods-it would be a
useless trouble and money thrown
away. None but live merchants, who
are constantly adding fresh goods to
their stock, are those who advertise.
The people have found out all about
this advertising business, and hence it
is that they constantly rush to either
Blocli's or Kaufmal's for whatever they
want.

Things have frightened up wonderful

Thugs have frightened up wonderful
" in Opelousas since the completion of
the railroad. Now that the passenger
train is making regular daily trips, the
landing place of the road is crowded
every evening by the people of the
town. No one now ever thinks of tax
ing Il walk in any other direction than
that leading to the railroad track. Men,
women and children are attracked there
as if by natural gravitatlon, and all
manifest the liveliest pleasure at the
sights which meet the eye up and down,
OF either side, and in every direction.
On Sundays the track for hundreds of
yards is literally lined with pedestrians
of all ages, sexes, and color-from the
decrepid old wench, we'll up into the
nineties, down to the little two-yeal
old brat.
A very great change is taking place
with our people. They are rapidly
casting aside their old rustic country
ways, and are becoming metropolitan
like in appearance and department. Old
Opelousas is fast fading away. New
| Opelousas is now the BOOM Business
has revived-people move about with a
more buoyant, elastic step-faces look
smiling, and brighter than ever. Every
body talks railroad, acts railroad, and
thinks railroad. If things keep Oh at
! the present rate both the town and the
people will lose their identity COM
pletely in less than six months. So
much for the beneficial influence ex-
erted by the great ciriH@er.

4 NEGRO SHOT AT WAsHINGTON-
Last Monday q negro named Henry
Middleton, alias Sergeant, was shot
three times by {. W. Millspaugh, at
Washington, and seriously if not dam
scrously wounded. From what we have
learned about the matter, it seems that
the negro had been behaving in an out
rageous Misunderstanding and abusing
several citizens and also some of the
officers Of Il boat at the landing. He
tackled Millspaugh, insulting him gross
ly and calling him the worst kind Of
names. Millspaugh was unarmed at the
time, but sent his little brother for a
pistol, and Immediately upon receiving
it opened fire upon his assailant. lie
fred three shots, it is said, in quick
successon-one of which took effect
just above the left nipple and passed
through the body. Sheriff Duson, being
notified of the occurrence, promptly re-
paired to Washington, where he al
rested Millspaugh, and safely landed
him here in Jail. We forbear any COM
ments upon the matter.
BAD POLICY.-F the life Of us we
can't see why it is that the Town Coun-
ell compels people who have game for
sale to take it to the Market House,
rent out stall, and sell it there, when
it permits the butchers and bakers to
peddle their goods at pleasure about
the streets. 1t is a poor rule, indeed,
that doesn't work both ways. If you
compel the game vender to dispose of
his game solely ut tie Market House,
why not also compel the baker to sell
his bread exclusively at his bakery, or
the butcher to sell his meat exclusively
at his stalls in the Market House? The
principle is the same in all these cases,
and there should be no discrimination
for or against any one. The result of
| the Councils ruling is that people from
q distance are determined to bring no
| more game to town, aud the inhabitant.
of the place will be the chief sufferers
| for the bad step taken by our city
fathers. Abolish the game ordinance
or restrain the butchers and bakers
FROM peddling through the streets. Let
us have d little consistency and fail
! Dlav about this matter.
