The following lines are from the
agricultural editor of the New Orleans
Prices Current, and as he gives a
correct statement of all that may be
done in Western Louisiana by any one
possessed of thrift and energy, and as
being corroborative of representations
made by the press generally in this
section of country as being the garden
spot of the State, we reproduce them
for the information of those who are
in search of homes and wish to locate
in the South:
We assert without fear of contra
diction that the Attakapas and Opc-
lousas sections of Louisiana present
most favorable opportunities for per-
sons desiring to emigrate South.
In addition to the excellent soil and
healthy climate, the new railroads
passing through will make them easy
of access. Cane, cotton; tobacco, rice,
oats, fruits of every description, and
garden vegetables, flourish there as
well as in every country in the world.
Horses, cattle, sheep and hogs are
raised in large herds, and there is
room for ten times the number with
ont crowding. 1t is perfect sgrieul-
tural paradise.

The La Sale Centennial.

From the n. 0. Times-Democrst.
The arrangements for the ceIGbra-
ton Of the La Sale Centennial are
progressing even more satisfactorily
than we expected. AT the meeting
Friday Of the joint committee, who
have the matter in hand, a number
Of other organizations, including the
military, the Board Of Underwriters,
Clearing House Association, Leider-
tafel and the French Chamber Of
Commerce, requested permission to
participate in the celebration. The
arrangements are now in the hands
Of our best citizens, and we can
safely count on a display worthy Of
New Orleans.
The Friday meeting, moreover,
fixed the programme of exercises
that are to take place out of Gefer-
eDce to our Jewish fellow-citizens. 1t
was decided not to hold the ceIebra-
ton on Saturday, April 9Th, as origin,
ally proposed, but on Monday and
Tuesday, April 10th and 18th. The
first day will be devoted to the litera-
ry exercises and q military parade
Speeches will be made by Mcssrs
| Francis Parkman on La Sale and bis
companions; L. B. Washburn on the
valley of the Mississippi, and Geoge
B. Pendleton on the UAiteG States il
Il882 On Tuesday there will be q
grand excursion to the .jetties, to the
spot where La Sale raised the mon
ument by which he dedicated Louis
lana to the King of Franco, wherC
suitable speeches will be made.
| There is every probability of hos
of visitors to the city to attend THU
celebration. The committee of ar
rangements have extended invita-
tons to number Of persons, includ
ing the governors Of all the States
the mayors and common councils o
Chicago and St. Louis, the CONNER
cial bodies and literary association
Of the United States, Captain Fad

In YINBEx's letter to the Observer,
and about Lake Charles, he has stated
that we have four public schools in
our town. Our friend meant to say
private schools. AS four public schools
would be more than our share, and
that we have not. While VIC are
thinking of this subject, we wish to.
say that we had the pleasure, in re
spouse to an invitation, of visiting one
of orr prominent private schools last
Thursday evening. This school has
in attendance thirty students, and the
teachers are doing good work for
those enjoying their instruction. We
know a gentleman who wishes to come
to Lake Charles for the purpose of
establing a permanent private school
of high grade. He has devoted his
time and attention to teaching for the
last twelve or fourteen years, and is
thoroughly up on all that is necessary
to constitute first class academy. The
only difficulty at present, is the lack
of a suitable school house. If stock
company could be formed among onr
citizens, and a snituable house built,
our town would soon become as noted
for its educational advantages as it is
for general thrift and industry.

TIE smallpox is still doing its work
of destruction in some of our cities
and towns. In South Bethlehem, Pa,
over one hundred cases are reported
since last Sunday. In small town
called Seyierville, twenty-five miles
from Knoxville, twelve cases have been
discovered. In Dallas, Texas, more
new cases Of smallpox were discOv-
cred up to the 10th instant. We wish
to utter one more warning to our citi-
zens and readers, viz: be yaccinated
without delay.

IL LOOKING over our exchanges we
notice that the flood still continues in
its work of submerging and destroying
property, stock, and even human life.
The fact that our town is SO fortunate
ly and securely located, far out of the
reach and influence of the devastating
waters, should not cause US to forget
our more unfortunate neighbors, many
of whom arc struggling hard to avert
this destroying element from their
homes. There is certainly suffering
among those who are within the range
of this ''food Of waters" and it would
not be a bad idea for our citizens 70
contribute their mite toward aiding
these sufferers.

PARHS LETTER.



MdIlc. Marie Van Zandt made her
temperance at the Opera Comiquc
last night on her return from Monte
Carlo, choosing for the occasion
Mignon, the character in which she
first made her mark on the Partisan
stage. Those who have followed her
quick career need scarcely be re-
minded that the Young lady played
the same part for, if ] remember
rightly, more than eighty nights, the
longest run which NJ. Ambrose
Thomas opera has ever had. 1t be
gan to be imagined that M'dlle. Van
Zandt could play nothing else, when
her performance of DinOrah threw her
success as MignOn completely into
the shade. But "MignOn" is a favor
lite opera here, and last night there
was absolutely not vacant scat III
the house, even the managerial box
being let. When the American prima
donna lcaped from the cart in which
the heroine is dragged upon the
stage, she received from the crowded
audience such a reception as is sell
dom accorded to the greatest favor
ties of the Opera Comique hdbtt"es.
The popular romance, "Conagts-t" te
Pays" the =" Styricnnc," the Swai-
low" duet-each opportunity was
eagerly seized by the enthusiastic ad-
mirers of the gifted singer for express
ing their delight, while the critical
connoisseur was still more pleased to
note that Mdllc. Van Zandts voice
has Of late greatly gained in power,
thus giving hope that the last quail
ity needed for a great singer will
socn be within her grasp. To find
any parallel to the fascination over
her audience welded by MdlEc. Van
Zandt, one must go back to the start
ling early success Of Adelina Patti.
n. Gambetta has received sympa-
thctic addresses, numerOusly signed,
from several towns situated in the
southwestern departments. The
writer's express the utmost satisiaC-
ton at his recent attitude, and pre-
dict that the country will distinguish
between Republicans who want to
advance slowly, but steadily, along
the path of reform and those who,
after having made many promises,
are acting in such manner as to
render all progress impossible.
For nearly two months not u drop
of RAIN, not a fake Of snow, not a
hailstonc, has fallen, this being the
driest winter 0f'the century. 1t is
also worthy Of note that within the
past two years we have also had the
hottest and coolest weather known
here since 1900.
To-day the funeral OF N. Eouzeaud,
husband Of MdIIc, Nilsson, took
| place, at the church of St. EIvi, in
the Rue de ReuiIly. The ceremony,
which was very simple, was attended
only by the widow and a few intimate
friends. The remains were inferred
in the Picpus cemetery.

A FEW days ago Mr.. c. DuhoD, of
blackberry, Cameron parish, killed a
three year old pig which weighed 622
pounds net, and yielded 40 gallons of
lard. This pig was of the Razor-back
stock. The neighbors have taken it
into their heads that they can fatten
hogs that can beat this weight, and
now have their hogs in the pen. We
suggest to Mr.. Duhon to see to it that
they do not take advantage of him in
breed of hogs-require a Razor-back.

North Louisiana Journal.
Since last week We have obtained
fuller information concerning the kill
ing of Sol. Waters by William Parish,
which occurred on Monday, February
goth. 1t seems that Waters, in order
to decide the dispute concerning the
deer skin, had taken out his razor and
was cutting the skin in half, when
Parish seized Waters shotgun and
fred on him while he was in the act
of STOPPING. A load of fifteen buck
shot penetrated Waters body, entering
at the back and going through the
lungs.
Parish spoke about it in a brutal
manner, saying he did not care any
more about killing a negro or a white
man than about eating his dinner; ssaDd
moreover, his punishment would only
consist in working on the leyee.
Between 2 and 8 a. m. on Friday
last, while Parish was chained to q

fact that the carrying into effect o.
