Editor DEMOCRAT We left Holmes
vile in the parish of Ayoyelles, OH the
morning Of the 26th inst, for Opelousas,
where we arrived to-day. While on
the trip | made it point to dot y
down pretty much all of interest that
came in my way. Our route lay by
way of Flat Town and Washington.
On the road we saw that the farmers
were making preparations for planting.
saw some corn up, but we fear the cold
and frosty mornings of last week had
caused it 10 good, as the corn alllooked
rather sickly. For the forty-tive miles
we travelled, we failed to see but little
improvement in the shape Of new build
ings. Flat Town had on rather a
Sunday look Gt was Sunday l passed
through) and suppose the town looks
about the same all the time. There is
one thing that | can say for Flat Town
and that is there is one of the worst
mudholds, nearly opposite the church,
W. WA saw wv uOuUt tuC ldC
Townians are waiting for providence'
to fill this particular mudlole for them.
We have not nor do not intend to offer
word of slur to any one, but where is
that Inspector OF roads that is said to
look after the interest of our St. Landry
roads. The next place we took in was
your sister city of Washington. Here
we took dinner, and were well pleased.
Walked over the town and saw the
sights. About the only improvement
visible outside of the railroad was one
man white washing. Now | hope my
Washington friends will not get ere
leed' on this white wash fact, for you
know truth is mighty and will prevail"
SO it was but few hammers to be heard
and little hustle Of business.
Well, Mr.. Editor, these are hasty
notes, but taken Oh the "wingn and
may be relied OIL. For Opelousas I
haven't a word.to say, and for fear of
saying too much had best close this
winged letter by wishing the DEMOCRAT
and all l saw on my late trip every
success. JOHN O. SHANE.

HI. Seymour's dramatic company,
brass band and orchestra, have been
playing here this week. The brass
band and orchestra are both good-the
best we have had here for many years.
We have not been present at all the per-
formances; but we have seen enough to
know that this company is far above
the average each individual does hisOr
her part well, and instead of the success
of tue play depending on the talent and
efforts of one or two, as is generally the
case, the subordinate parts are so well
executed, that the audience does not be-
come Impatient when the leading actor
is not performing. Taken as a whole,
we think it the best company that has
visited Opelousas for many years. The
acting is not only good, but. the enun-i
citation of all the company is SO clear
and distinct that there is no difficulty
in hearing; we have not found this the
case5with all the actors Of other compa-
MES that have visited us. Last Monday

We call attention to the advertise
ment of the Crescent City Ice Company.
1t is the Oldest ice company in New
Orleans, and deals only in natural ice.
AS tile winter has been unusually cold,
the ice crop must be enormous; and
natural ice therefore will be cheap.
Natural ice keeps better, or melts less,
than artificial, and it is therefore better
for country use. We advise all to cor
respond with the Crescent City Ice
Company, before buying ice elsewhere.

Honesty is the best policy in medicine
as we'll as in other things. Ayers Sar-

THE REASON WHY.-The tonic effect
of Kidney Wort is produced by it's
cleansing and purifying action on the

sought notoriety through the news
papers, but it has nevertheless pushed
on its road with wonderful vigor. Con-
nection was effected, day or two ago,
with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe road at Ell Paso, and it is over this
latter road that the special car that left
San Francisco on the eighteenth instant
will pass on its way to New York. The
progress which has been made on the
Southern Pacific encourages the belief
that work Oh the Texas Pacific will be
pushed vigorously in order to make q
connection between the two roads as
soon as possible. When junction is
shipping point for the surplus grain of
California. Indeed it is highly probable
that California grain will find its way
here before such connection is affected.
1t was stated some day ago that several
California capitalists had visited st.
Louis and had arranged to ship 5000, 900
bushels of wheat to that city to be sent
down the river to New Orleans in
barges. They found on investigation
that this was the cheapest way they
could get their wheat to the Atlantic
seaboartl. The Union and Central
Pacific roads offered to land the wheat
in New York for sixty cents busllel,
and it would cost fully that much to
ship it by way of Panama or around
Cape Horn. To send it to New Orleans
by way of st. Louis and the Mississippi
river will cost between thirty and thirty
five cents. When the Texas Pacific is
completed California wheat will, no
doubt, he sent here for less than that.
