St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1881-01-01

We are out Of sorts this week and our
readers will have to excuse the get up
of this issue of the paper. Christmas
coming on one day of publication and
New Years day on the next, puts a
country newspaper in tight place,
"'between two tires," as it were. We
don't know what's the matter with us;
we don't know whether we have taken
cold, or eaten and drank too much
if we were not husband and father
and growing old, we would imagine We
are lin love-" But something is the
matter with us. though we don't know
what it is ; aud doing any kind of work
between Christmas and New Years
goes against the grain"

the new naval observatory, consisting OF Ad-
miral Rodgers Senator Whyte and Represen-
tatiye More, agreed to purchase, for this pur-
pose the Barber estate, on Georgetown Heights,
comprising some fifty-odd acres and the pur-
chase price to be paid is 500 900. Plans for the
new observatory had been submitted by sew
ersl architects OF Washington and elsewhere.
including j. A. & W. T. Wilson. OF Baltimore.
The commission adopted the plans submit I'd
by c. A. Didden, of washington. The appro-
priation of Congress for the purchase OF the
site WAS s15 600, but after paying for che prop
cry selected and the other expenses there viii
be balance OF several thousand dollars TIE
site was selected, says Senator Whyte, upon
the recommendation OF all the professional ex-
perts who examined the different sites offered.
Prof. Barnard, OF Columbia College aud Pro-
feseors Hastings and Roland, OF Johns Hop
kin's university, Baltimore, came over at the
request OF the commission and after test
ing the Barber property unanimously
agreed that tt met all the requirements of the
object in view. Over $40 900 was asked for the
property. but the commission got1the price re-
dUced to S63 600. All the expenses of the CON-
mission for their entire service were less than

ing will not be ready before next winter, when
they will be submitted by the Secretary OF the
Navy, and DO doubt the appropriation for the
