The comet makes a beautiful dis
play in the eastern horizon, just before
daylight. 1t is apparently a brilliant
star, shooting through the heavens di-
rectly toward the sun, and dragging in
its wake, stream OF light that must be
millions of miles in length.
These excentric and mysterious visi-
tors to our heavens excite our wonder
and puzzle our learned men. Are they
worlds like ours, that have fulfilled
their destiny, been set afire and thrown
out of their orbits to whirl through
open space forever, as a warning to all
heavenly bodies of their own fate {?
Perhaps this is as rational theory as
any given US by astronomers. Certain
it is that these wonderful apparitions in
the sky excite uneasiness and awe, and
while we do not comprehend them we
instinctively exclaim with the inspired
psalmist
1.-THE heavens declare the glory of
God, and the armament showeth his
handy work"

Several of the lovers of music on
Sunday night last visited the residence
of our jovial friend Mr.. NJ. Medicis with
an Italian violinist and harpist who
put on their best ticks to be recipients
of collection which was afterward tax
en- up. After short but pleasan stay
the party went on their way re-
joicing, stopping occasionally to
deal out serenading compliment un-
til they reached the man of Mascot
views who took in the situation Civ
ing vigorous examples Of his vocal &C
plishments and in dealing out the 'pig-
con wing" with all of it's variations. At
ter listening for hours to enchating
strains from the hooking birds on
strings and partaking Of Inequalities
elsewhere extended, the party dispersed
and made their way to the land of
dreams.

A colored desparado living in the
parish Of St. Martins, in the vicinity of
Arnaudville, came into that town on
Friday M forming Of last week, and after
trying to get into a difficulty with MI
Durio merchant of that place and
otherwise disturbing the peace, left the
town saying that he would return in
the evening with his brother, when he
intended to get satisfaction out of some
body. True to his threat, he returned
with his brother, and came in firing of
his pistol and threatening to shoot the
first man he met. Two or three OF
the citizens, knowing the character
of the negro, and fearing that lie might
do some serious mischief, got together
to put stop to his manHvers, but the
intruder "got wind" of the preparation
being made for his reception and left
for home. That night party of men,
we are informed, assembled and were
proceeding in the direction of his domi-
Gil. The negro was secreted along the
road, and as they approached fired into
them killing one of the number and
making good his escape.

On Friday or Saturday night of last
week the premises of Mrs. Hebrard was
visited by some person who was doubt
less up to no good. AS the inmates were
preparing to retire, one of the young
ladies went to close the window blinds.
AS she tried to do, some one from the
outside sprang up to the window, eaus-
ing no little fright to her and the bal
ance of the occupants. Assistance was
called, but the bold intruder escaped.
Some of the New Iberia house-breakers
have probably made their appearance
among us. Look cut for them and

Franks Entertainment.

AT an early hour on Tuesday night
last we HE'D us around to Franks
new boarding house and restaurant to
see a crowd gathering to receive the
| inequalities which only can be had at
the hands of
Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad Brand
Ever ready and OH hand
At their new and gala stand
| With the best that's i'll the land.
| Although we are about as ravenous
as the average dyspecptic, and can make
as good time as the next man where the
good things of life are in sight, we al
rived to see the first guests seated and
our stately fellow craftsman, Mr.. O. A.
2. helping himself to a goodly supply of
table comforts, such as gumbo, wine,
cake and beer, for all of which the com.
assembled had put on their best looks
and smiles. As the crowd increased, it
became necessary to serve two sets at
once, and we had the honor of witness
| ing the second tables crowded and their
heads thus beautifully ornamented C.
Il. Andrus at the south end, L. A. San
doz at the north end OF one table and
L. Hardeman Lewis at the north and
John the carpenter at the south end
OF the second table. A regular boquet,
and one too that took away, aside from
substantials, a sightof sweetness, such
as cakes, ice-cream, etc. In the mean
time Mac and Arthur had tile music and
the blue -tlanneled dancer going in the
front room, while the ladies in the next
room We're looking admirably on
through the window.
AS the crowd dispersed little the
young ladies and gentlemen present
had pleasant dance and left for their
homes feeling that for comfort, ease
and enjoyment there was no place like
Mr.. and Mrs. Brands.
The building, which is two stories
high, with a large and inviting front ap-
pea1ance, has about fifteen comforta-
BILE rooms in it, all of which are ceiled or
plastered and supplied with beautiful
papering. These will be neatly and
substantially furnished when, Mr.. and
Mrs. B. will have the satisfaction of
knowing that they have the best es-
tablishment of the kind ever started in
the Parish Of St. Landry, and one too at
which the public will be accommodate
ted in the best possible style on most
reasonable terms. So much for enter
prise and economy.

The bone and sinew OF this establish.

land of pheasants where, if he is as in
tent in pursuit as he was in getting
ready, he is as straight after them as
was the nine settlers and pointers which
followed him to Calcasieu to practice
for the field trials. II there is any viz
tue in numbers, he has a representa-

A new oyster stand was this week
opened by Mr.. NJ. Vilaseca on Main
street between the postoffice and the
"Bejou Grocery Store" which has been
christened by our inventive deputy
postmaster, Mr.. C. Mayo, as the "How
Will You Have En- Saloon" So, if a
man feels like eating oysters, all has
to do is to fix his mouth, 60 around and
say "raw," "fried" or "stewed," saving
the proprietor the trouble Of asking
about what dish he shall prepare. "Brey
ity is the soul of wit"

We clip the following from the
Times-Democrat of the Gath inst, az
regards the trial and acquittal of Martin
| Finnerty, accused of. infanticide, anG
ably defended by four of our leading
| lawyers
| Special to the Times-Democrat
OpELoUsAs, Sept. 23-The case which
has excited the most interest in our
community, The State VS., Martin Fin
nerty, charged with infanticide in Wash
day morning, and terminated in ac-
quittal of the prisoner at II o'clock last
night. The evidence was mainly cir
cumstantial, and the attorneys for the
defense had to rely all through upon
the feebleness OF the States evidence,
and proving up the previous character
and quiet demeanor of the prisoner to
rebut the charge OF SO terrible a
crime. Mr.. Finnerty's defense was
ably conducted by his attorneys,
Hon. NJ. d. Kavanagh, Of Washington,
and Messrs. John N. Ogden, Laurent
Dupre and E. P. Veazie OF Opelousas
The accused was once resident OF
your city and had an extensive acquain-
lance there, who will doubtless rejoice
at his acquittal. He had been in prison
since last May. Weather clear and cool
to-day.
The case referred to in the above was
tried on Friday, the s2d of this month.
The courthouse was filled to overflow
ing, and an unusual interest was mani
tested. The accused was represented
by Hon. NJ. D. Kavanagh, John n. Og-
den. Laurent Dupre and E. P. Veazie,
by whom the defense was ably conducted
After the evidence was submitted, Mr..
John N. Ogden, opened the argument
for the defense and was followed by
Laurent Dupre, Esq, Mr.. F. Feriole
Perrodin closing vigorously for the
State. After short deliberation the
jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
After shaking hands with the jury Mr..
F. retired to treat his friends.
