About 4:30 p. m. we reached the

Quoted by the Jesuit Fathers. Their
place is q kind of Utopia. Almost
everything needed is raised on the
place.
The place is quite large, containing
about $50 acres, besides the church
property, which contains about sixty
acres more and ON which stands the
church and college.
The Fathers have their own horses,
mules, cows, poultry, etc. They have
a little steam engine with which they
saw the wood and grind corn. They
have a large apiary and a pecan grove
under which the boys gather pecans.
Here and there we find copses of oak,
pine and other trees. The play
grounds are very extensive, the college
building large and well supplied. and
the food very good. There are eighty
odd boys and more entering daily.

ANOTHER EXCURSION.-By reference
to the advertisement in another column
it will be- seer that a grand railroad OK
cursion will be given under the auspices
of Opelousas Fire Co. No. |, from Wash
ington, Opelousas and all intermediate

lists two whole days and three nights i'll
the Crescent City. All who go down on
this trip can combine both pleasure and
business in one; they a attend any
place of worship they prefer on Sunday;
thew can attend to business on Monday;
and at night they can attend some of
the various places of amusement-the
theatres and French Opera all being re-
presented by first-class artists at this
season. Moreover the business season
will be fully opened, and business men
will find it an Opportunc time to go down.

tions, in going on this excursion, you
will be helping Fire Co. No. | to pay for
their new steam fire engine, which is

the benefit of their money expended foI
SO laudable a purpose? Read the low
rates to and from the city, and then buy
your tickets at once. Do not let this
opportunity pass you, either for enjoy
ment or business.

Subsistence of the Public Debt.
mo. City Item.1

H-NO ONI ~
The current venue of the United
States government exceeds, and
for some time has exceeded the expen-
ditures by about $15,O00,OO0 " month,
and under the action of the Treasury
Department there has been a cores
ponding reduction of the public debt.
At this rate the whole bonded debt
would be paid off within ten years,
were bonds liable to be called in at the
pleasure of the government. But there
are only about $35O,0O0,O0O of bonds
outstanding which are so liable. The
four and a half per cents are not paya-
BILE before 1891, and the four per cents
until 1907. These descriptions ofbonds
now comprise the bulk of the interest
bearing debt, and can not be called in
by the government before they are due
respectively, nor bought by it except
at a premium, which of course the peO-
pie will not consent to give the holders.
1t is evident, therefore, that under
the operations of the laws as they now
stand there must soon be an end of
paying the exigible debt, and a large
surplus will appear in the treasury
when that event is reached, unless, in
the meantime there shall have been Il
material reduction in taxes. If not
this Congress, then the next, will UNI
doubtedly repeal the greater part, per
haps I'LL of the laws authorizing internal
revenue taxation, leaving to the opera
lions of the tariff alone the means of
raising revenue for the support of the
government and the more gradual re-
duction Of the public debt.
