Hon HENRY L. GARLAND, President st. Ian
dry Bar Association
DEAR SIR-One of our objects in forming the
ST Landry Bar Association was to establish Il
uniform rate of charges for the merely formal
portion of legal services which involved no
litigation, such as obtaining Judgment on mon
ey claims percentage on collections, and NOR
tuary proceedings i'll SUGGESTIONS, etc. etc.
And for this purpose, reasonable and just
tariff was adopted.
But there was also another important pur-
pose intended to be accomplished, and that
was to prevent if possible, the practice of law
by nOn-protcSsiOnal men.
1t was conceded that these purposes cOnld
not be accomplished unless our Association
embraced the entire bar OF this parish, and 80
every practicing attorney OF our bar became
members of the Association. Since that time.
however, several attorneys have commenced
the practice here who have not seen proper to
become members, and the practice of the pro
fession by non professional men continues to
the same extent as ever
Our main purpose has therefore failed and
respectfully Withdraw from the Assocla
ton. and III doing SO. beg leave to suggest that
the Association he dissolved.
Respectfully,
ThoS Fl. Lewis, f. 2. NeaZic.

Editor DEMOCAT:
The weather is fine. The gins in the
vicinity are all at work. Some one or
two sugar mills have commenced to
grind in Rapides parish, Mr.. Joe.
Meeker, for one. We saw some new
syrup from his mill yesterday. Other
mills will start soon. The Morgan T..
K. Company has commenced to fence
in the depot and section house at this
ce,-IIayes' Station. Besides, they
have thrown a tirst-class wagon road
from the public highway to the sta
| ton.
Mr.. Chas. Bloch, of Opelousas, has
been engaged, and is now keeping
increasing business house at this point.
Mr. Bloch will become a citizen and
resident of our charming village, Tiger
Bend. Among the late arrivals at the
Bend, we note the following: Mr.. Louis
TRACER, the Republican nominee OF
Red River. Mr.. Trager stopped here
Sunday night, and left on yesterdays
train for Washington and Opelousas.
Mr. Tragar says You are mistaken when
you clip from the City Item. He has
nothing to do with convict labor and
never had. The articles of agreement
existing between Mr.. Tregar and Mr.
James show for itself. He does not
claim to be a politician, but will work
for the greatest good for all.
Mr. Sol. Hirscl, of Loyd's Bridge,
gave us pleasant call yesterday. We
were sorry to see and learn that Mr..
Hirsch is just recovering from severe

We have from what is considered
good authority that the prisoners in jail
at Marksville, had a jolly old time some
few nights past. They concluded that
fresh air and liberty was far better than
being cooped up in Jail. So they broke
out and made good their escape, nine
teen in all. We have no comments to
make, but we heard a rather intelligent
negro say, "the Marksville Jail might
hold negroes, but not white men,"

Some people have an idea that a pub
Usher publishes his paper for almost
ANYTHING but to make money. ln fact
this class is very numerOus-tOo nu-
merous for the good OF the news
paper fraternity. Compliments are
verv acceptible, and thanks cheer the
publisher, but bread and butter is what
he and his family live upon. Publish
ing is business just the same as manu-
featuring or keeping store. A manu-
facturer or store keeper would think a
man crazy who came into his office
every little while, and after compli-
menting his goods, ask him to give a
few. This is just the kind OF customers
the publisher must expect to deal with
more or less six out of seven days in
the week. We are not speaking OF
men who are advertisers and who have
bought right to some privileges in the
paper. We are speaking OF that class
Of dead heads who send a six cent pull
of their business in a three cent envel-
one, closely written on both sides, and
OF another numerous class who are con-
stantly dropping it in on the publisher,
in little driblets and sanwlched IN be-
tween smile and compliment and
mustard seasoning of cheek. The soon
er these people find out that every inch
Of publishers space is SO much money
to him, the sooner will publishers see
little profit in their business. ~

To be asked to it is thought marked

"Argus," in Land and Water, writes:
'sThe aesthetic school has fallen into
disrepute in society of late, owing in
some degree to the doings of its chief
apostle in America. The common opin-
ion of Mr.. Oscar Wilde is very wide of
the truth. He is not the pulling senti-
mentalist that he postures on the plat
form or appears in the drawings of Du
Maurier. He is as shrewd and practical
ayouth as any I know. He came to
London to make a reputation and set
about it in business-like fashion. Find
ing the ordinary methods of acquiring
it slow and tedious he devised method
of his own, created the aesthetic school,
and in less than year became one of

Discoveries in Germany,

An interesting account of the discov.
cry of valuable manuscripts at Ravel Is
given in the Riga Zeit~ng. 1t pro.
posed TO refit an apartment on the
ground floor of the Hotel de Vile, to
serve as an additional receptacle for tho
city archives. But on examination il
was found to be filed almost to the cell.
ing with manuscripts and books. tho
bulk OF which belonged to the eigh.
tccnth and seventeenth centuries, while
somo thousands of them dated from the
sixteenth, very many from the fifteenth.
century. The most valuable among
them was perhaps collection of munic.
lpal account books and similar docu-
ments. Hitherto only few of the old
city books OF this once famous Hanse
town were believed to exist; but about
forty of them, of all kinds, ranging
from the fourteenth to tho sixteent6
century, have here been brought to
light. Books of all kinds, such as were
kept probably only in the middle ages,
are here represented, accounts of the
municipal lime.kilns, mills, exchange
OF coins, exchequer receipts, beginning.
with the. year 1882, registers of incom-
ing ships, with abstracts of their bills of
fading (from the beginning of the fif-
teenth century,, port dues, lists of citi.
zens, records of inheritances, ledger of
receipts from succession duties, record
OF letters of convoy, several letter-books
Zone of which ranges from 1883 to
H25), and others, for the end of the fif-
teeAth and beginning of the sixteenth
centnry. Among the other treasures
here discovered is the chronicles of
Dunamunde, long believed to be lost,
and manuscript belonging to the mu-
nicipal archives OF Lubbock.
