A Plea for the Clerks,
Only -Four Hours Of Daylight In the Week
Call their Own.

Only -Four Hours Of Daylight In the Week
Cali their Own!
We poor clerks, especially ON Canal
street, are kept in the stores up to the
hour Of 9 o'clock, every night, and must
work hard from Z A. NJ, until the above
mentioned hour, not being allowed to
stand idle five minutes. While tho boss
stands, or reads, or goes out walking, we
suffer from heat under the gas-fght.
Could we not suggest some plan for
ladies to go shopping in the daytime, SO
that we poor clerks may get free at
nght-say Z P. M.,-to enjoy life as
others do. In winter we often work I'M
tai midnight; but in summer the boss
never thinks Of that, to take pity on us.
Every boss says he would close up soon
if all others would do it; but they all
wait for some one else to make the first
start. Please do not neglect this.
Mr.. EDITOR:
The above communication, clipped
from a New Orleans paper, would lead
one to suppose that the Canal street
clerks Of New Orleans are the hardest
worked set of clerks in the State. A
short trip to Donaldsonville would soon
point u! the vast amount of difference
between them and those Of this town. A
clerk here has to be ut his store ut S, or
ut the latest, 81 A. NJ, and there remain
until 9 and very often 10 P. NJ. On Sun
day-the day that he's worked the hard
est-he's allowed to leave at 4 P. NJ. So
that in the seven days he has three hours
of daylight he can call his own. TO do
justice, must state that NJ. Israel & Co.,
and B. Lemann are exceptions to the
above. Mr.. Lelnann allows his clerks the
whole Of Saturday, while NJ. Israel e.
Co., close on Sunday always before 2 P.
NJ, and it is rarely that the gas is lit at
night, besides opening late in tho morn
ing.
The Police Jury is endeayoring to
alleviate the trials of the clerks by pass
ing Sunday Law, but the store-kcepers
-L.mann, Israel & Co., and few others
excopted-are going to fight it. A col
lection has been made and considera-
BILE amount collected to pay lawyers
fee. understand that Mr.. Sims has
taken charge Of the case. If the people
Of the parish would only join hands with
the clerks, the Police Jury's Sunday law
would surely be enforced, but unless
they do so, our chances for relief are
slim.
Hoping YOU will find space in your
valuable paper for the above, l sign
myself, Yours, ETC.,
A CLERK.

circumstances.

On motion Of G. Feitcl, duly seconded:
WHEREAS, The Police Jury Of the parish
of Ascension did at its session ON the 10th
day Of May, 1882, adopt what is commonly
known as q Sunday Law for the parish Of
Ascension;
Whereas, In one of said ordinances the
Police Jury has arrogaGed to itself the au-
thority to regulate the police and good gov.
ernment of the town OF DonaldsOnville and
to usurp the functions Of the municipal
Council and has attempted to impose un-
warranted restrictions upon the persons and
business OF the citizens Of said town and
Whereas, Said assumption Of authority
on the part of the Police Jury is contempt
and violation Of the charter and rights of
the town Of Donaldsonville granted to it by
it's act Of incorporation; and
Whereas, The Police Jury in adopting
said ordinances have acted in violation Of
the spirit and letter Of the Constitution Of
1879. which prohibits the enactment Of local
and special laws; and
Whereas, The action of said Police Jury
virtually disregards and ignores the au-
thority Of this Council to carry on and main
tain the municipal government in all of its
departments: and
Whereas, The Sunday Law " of the Po-
lice Jury so far as the same is intended to be
enforced within the corporate limits of Don
aldsenville is repugnant to and earnestly
opposed by a large majority Of the citizens
OF the town; and
Whereas, 1t would be hardship upon
individual citizens to be forced to resist
singlc-handed the unwarranted usurpations
| of said Police Jury be it therefore
Resolped, That the Mayor be and is here
by authorized to take such steps as he may
deem necessary to prevent the enforcement
Of said ordinances Of the Police Jury within
the limits Of the town of DonaldsonvilIe,
that he has the power to employ counsel to
resist said ordinances in the name of the
town, by any process which he may adopt,
whether by injunction or otherwise, and to
sign the necessary injunction bond for that
purpose.

COFIEID BATTERY BAND.-ThrOugh
the kindness Of Lieut.. Pierre Klopman Of
Cotields Battery G, the band which has
adopted the Battery's name received OH
last Sunday a new set of brass instru-
lments, handsome i'll appearance and of
iirst-rate quality, and as consequence
the playing Of the organization evinces
a marked Improvement. Their old in-
str,lments were originally purchased by
the noted Donaldsonville Silver Cornet
Band, and have been i'll constant use for
pine years.
BY way Of celebrating their new ac-
,luisition, the band boys took turn
about town Monday night and serena
,le,l Licutenants Klopman and Lafargue
and Orderly Sergeant Bentley. Capt.
Jones was not visited because of sick
ness in his family. Lieut.. Earhart re-
ceived his share Of music later in the
Thursday night. We learn from
u reliable source that Sergeant Bentley
rot wind Of the intended visit Of the
band and made some modest prepara-
tions to entertain them which seemed to
prove quite satisfactory to the visitors.
Should there have been any shortcom-
ings, however, we hope the members of
the band will excuse them, as we hear
the Sergeant is, FOE the time being, drag
.:s,.,,,< y, n,isnrahla axiStanGe in state
Of single cusscdncss, his better half be-
ing absent on visit to New Orleans.
Wednesday evening the Cotield band
attended the drill meeting Of the Bat
terry and played a number of tunes. Tho
presence of the band increased the inter
est of the usual exercises, and we are
nlad to learn that this feature of the
meetings is to be made permanent.

The spell Of daily rains which was
mentioned last week came to u close on
Monday, and tho weather has since been
dry and warm. The nights, however,
are .leliciously cool, and there is nu
trouble sleeping comfortably in well ven
tilatcs' rooms. Thursday evening II cool
North breeze blew for several hours, pro-
,lncing Il sudden and decided change in
the atmosphere. The presumption is
that this breeze was the fag-cnd of a
storm that had prevailed to the North

On the 18th inst, Am6dGe Bourque,
the young man who carries mail between
Donaldsonville antl'rurcaud post offices,
snct with painful accident. While
riding OH his mule on tile way to Donald
;sonville with the mail, young Bourque
was ovcrtaken by baker in a cart, and
tho two parties concluded to exchange
places Tor Il short time. Accordingly the
mail rider turned his mule over to the
baker and climbed into the cart. He had
scarcely done SO, however, when the
mule attached to the cart, for some UNI
accountable reason started off ut rapid
pace. The postboy tried in vain to check
the animals speed, and becoming alarmed
ut the futility of his efforts, he jumped
out Of the cart, falling i'll a way to break
one of his legs between the ankle and
knee. He was picked up and sent home,
where he was attended by DR.. Love, who
SCI the fractured limb and afforded the
sufferer much relief. The boy is rapidly
recovering.
