Opelousas Parish of st. Landry, La, January 1882


Some weeks age we read an article
in the New Orleans Democrat, which
mentioned the arrival of quite a num-
ber of German immigrants, among
them seventy who were destined for
the German Settlement in st. Landry
Upon inquiring, we learned from one
of the citizens of that settlement, that
no new settlers had come to their To-
cality; and we were unable to learn OF
their presence where in the parish
until Tuesday ming, when we met
Mr.. Numa CEachere of Rayne station
Queue Tortue, who gave US some in
teresting information in regard to their
whereabouts.
Mr.. Chacher6 informs us that about
seventy Germans-men, women, and
children-stopped at Rayne Station
about six weeks ago locking for homes
in our parish Mr.. j. D. Bernard-than
whom more hospitable man does not
live in Louislana-the leading mer-
chant of Rayne, and Mr.. Numa Cha
chere--also whole souled young gen
tleman-took the immigrants in charge
and provided for their immediate
wants. The immigrants soon found
land to suit them, about four miles
from Rayne in Roberts Cove, adjacent
to Hoffman's bridge on bayou Plaque
mine. They purchased six hundred
acres, including a large portion OF
woodland. Mr.. Chachere reports them
as industrious and thrifty farmers. with
means enough to make themselves
comfortable homes after paying for
their lands. They are putting up q
saw mill, and will saw all the lumber
they need for building houses and
fences, &c. They are very piOus Cath
olics, and have German priest to Wis
it the Rayne Catholic Church every
two weeks, for their especial benefit.
This promises to become q large and
fourishing colony in the future, and
will add materially to the growth ot
Rayne Station, and the prosperity Of
our parish at large Let them come
and we hope our people will encour.
age them to do so.

A learned German chemist, Prof
Mezzroff, of Berlin, has arrived iu
New York with q newly invented
explosive, which he is extremely
anxioua to sell to O'Donovan Rossa
This chemical, which he calls
tri-nitro- glycerine, has 63 times
the power of gnnpowder, and explodes
at the rate of 10000 miles minute
Thirty pounds of it will cost only $50
and blow up the largest man of-war iu

the proper action for the Irish commit
tee to take, is to send half dozen
young men to New York, when he viii
educate them into the manufacture oi
