On Dit

That good many people wonder if
the Post-office Blonde takes all his
salary out in cheap valentines.
That the P. O. B. says it isn't fair to
lay the blame on his shoulders because
he is good natnred enough to write the
addresses as matter of accommodation
to purchasers.
That he bribed us with a five cent
cigar to let him down thus easy.
That Newsboy ought to be ashamed OF
himself for giving that young lady SO
much taffy and making her believe
That he had written her up as the
belle of the Continental ball.
That Horny has never before been
suspected of literary ambitions, but
That he is the reputed author OF
new work entitled Bertha's Baby"
That the people who expected to
witness a Ryan-Sullivan episode in the
Court House on Thursday were disap-
pointed.
That they would have been surprised
to have seen the excited opponents
placidly contemplating each other
through the bottoms Of Willie Barrera's
lemonade glasses after court adjourned.
That the Nargassans case, which set
Black Bayou neighboriood by the ears,
threatened at one time to extend its
baleful influences to the peaceful pre-
cincts of Port Barrow and Donaldson
vile.
That Macs advent put powerful
sight Of wind III the band boys, and
That they have to be blowing from
morning to night to keep from bursting.
That Mac says the Charity Hospital
wagon will follow the procession to pick
kang up when he dies Of exhaustion.
That Ably declares she is the sweetest
Rose he has seen yet.
That's what's the matter with Hannah
| That Nella says the same thing, but
the rest Of the boys declare lie couldn't

That Charley brought IS back from
Mardi Grasz and paid his subscription to
the CHIEF out of it, and
That in consideration Of his creditable
economy and thoughtfnlness, we sol
emily promised to keep him out of On
Dit.
That Mac thinks it would he cheaper
to pay Hang not to take part IN the
parade, as it would save funeral ex
penses.
Tha. Mac needn't talk-he looks at
fat as match and pot-gutted as q rail
and every body wonders where all the

That the cred Bull" of Ascension

Mr.. r. T. Hanson, President of the
Police Jury, takes an active interest in
levee matters, and is 20 doubt receiving
valuable assistance and cooperation at
the hands of other members Of that body,
as we'll as planters and riparian property
holders generally. We assume that the
citizens most interested in the mainten-
ance of the levees are doing what lies i'll
their power to secure that end.
We repeat the warning given last
week ut tue instance Of the State Levee
Engineer for this district, that the prin-
cipal danger to be dreaded is from open
roadways aud, we may add neglected or
improperly constructed rice fumes. The
road and levee overseers and Police
Jurors of the several districts Of the
parish should maintain a rigid super
vision of the levee in their respective
localities, and compel owners Of rice
fumes and those who have cut roadways
to place them in proper condition for
resisting the terrible force of the pre-
vailing flood Eternal vigilance is the
price of immunity from overflow.

BASE BALL.-A Telegram from a friend
of ours in New Orleans who is q we'll
known admirer of the national game
informs us that he has arranged for
match next Sunday between the Nolan
nine Of Donallsonville and a city club
" hose name is not stated III the dis
patch This will b. good news to the
Nolans, who are DESTROYS of trying their
nlettle OH a city field, not with an
expectation Of winning a victory, but
for the practice and experience 1t Will
afford them. Three Of the best members of
the club will be unable to accompany
the excursionists by reason OF their
business engagements at home, but the
Others viii do their best to make a good
showing against whatever team they are
| called upon to face to- morrow.
While it is not yet positively certain,
there is 4 decided probability that a
match will be played at Donaldsonville
on Sunday, March II, by the New Hopes
and Nolans, and as the first OF the
season it will no doubt attract unusual
interest. If the New Hope boys will
kindly consent to visit town on that day
the Nolans may be depended upon tt
give them Il return game at the Clark
place very shortly thereafter.
A portion Of the uniforms Of the Noial
club has already been ordered and i'll thu
course of two or three weeks the clu'
expects to have its NEW rig complete.

Rev. Gustave Levy, who has been the

Bikur Cholim at this place for the past
three years, resigned the position and
departed for the North during the early
part of the present week. His principal
reason for taking this step was that ne IS
afflicted with extreme nervousness
which was superinduced by yellow fever,
and DIR. Reynaud, ST., President OF the
Board Of Health ut Baton Rouge, who
treated him during the epidemic, advised
him to 20 North, as change of climate
would have Il tendency to reinrigorate
and strengthen his nerves. When MI
