As illustrative Of the influence of the
Catholic priest, we listened to the fol-
lowing from White man Of Vermil-
lion parish who went before, and OBJ
tanned license OF the Supreme Court,
to be "limb-of- the-law": "The origi-
nal town of Abbeville, was years ago
where now is located "Perry's Bridge
a small place three miles lower down
the bayou Vermillion. 1t seems that at
that time almost the whole town and
vicinity was owned by a thrifty farmer
and estimable gentleman, Mr.. Perry,
father Of Hon. Robert Perry, ESQ.,, of
New Iberia. Mr.. P. was applied to by
"a Catholic priest and influential citi-
zens of the place for the donation of
a spot Of land on which to erect Cath
olic church. He gave it, but reserved
the right Of locating it. This did not
suit our religious friend. He pulled
up stakes" and built his church where
it now is. An attraction being there
for the masses, stores and dwelling
houses were soon built around it. Hence
the fouishing town of Abbeville and
the decline of 'Perry's Bridge"
Although we are glad that Abbeville
has grown to adorn this beautiful Sec
ton of our country, the evergreen
shades Of "Perry's Bridge" are nearer
and dearer to US.

About 8 o'clock on the morning of the
nth inst, John Young, who had been
employed on the New Orleans Pacific
railroad, was forod dead or in dying
condition, on the Atchafalaya river
near Churchville. He had been struck
on the back of the head apparently
with club. 1t is supposed he was
murdered for his money, as he had a
considerable sum late in the afternoon
before he was killed, and none was
found on his corpse. The evidence be-
fore the coroner's jury OF inquest, led to
to the arrest Of Samuel Granville, Col
rmbus Calvin and Joseph Gray, all col
ored, who are in Jail here, accused of
the murder.

Several years ago one of our now
well-to-do and witty Jewish friends,
who was at that time engaged in the
peddling and horse trading business,
CHANGED, in making his rounds, to be
a witness of a grand race which came
off in one Of our prairies. A great
many Of the sporting characters among
the Creoles being present, it was agreed
among them that they would shave some
fun out of that id jew" To ac-
complish this they proposed to give
him hard mouth horse, little caring,
after he got started and the race was
won. how far the horse took him. They
asked him how he would like to ride in
a race. He told them that he would ride,
in fact, was in for anything. So, at the
appointed time, our little friend was
helped up on the to1gh-mouth horse
and the coursers given start. At the
end of the race, Sam was way ahead,
but couldn't stop his steed. The sport
ing crew began to laugh and poke fun"
at him. After running rornd the track
once or twice, s. H. "smelt rat"
and to turn the joke, put whip to his
bard-mouthed charger, running him
round and round the ring. On per-
ceiy ing that the quick-witted rider was
beating them at their own game, our
Creole friends began to cry in loud
voice, "Afsste le cheual !""A1r6te lie che

he never was stopped, until a fresh
horse and rider were sent out to bring
him in.

"Au Is Not Gold That Critters"

One of towns best sport, and With
al an eccentric and rather hard to
please aspirant for legal honors-had
occasion once for making trip to
the lower part of the district. AS 1t
was not his intention to stop long at
place, he was bent on having a huge
time, as near as possible, at each. He,
therefore, had "hog killing time" at
the start. On arriving at the depot of
the forty mile station, he stepped out
on the platform to look for a vehicle that
would carry him to tirst-class hotel or
stopping place. Taking it for g:anted
that the incest looking carriage would
take him to the banner hotel, he hailed
the driver of hack on the side of
which was emblazoned three bronzed
lyons. Once seated he Strengthened
himself up, knowing that he didn't
have very far to go, and thinking he
would make a "spread eagle" appear
ance as he rode through town and up to
his imaginary three-story hotel. Fear
ing that he might fail in securing a
place he urged the driver to hurry on.
AS the dusky rain-puller drew up in
front of dingy looking house with a
sway-back shed to it, our starchy man
with kid gloved hand and white Gre
vat, wilted and dropped his head. Not
having an over supply of "spondulics,"
and knowing that the outlay had al
"eady been as much as his pocket could
stand, he alighted and walked into the
'front.' room. (the back room was the
kitchen) The first sight that greeted
his eye was two swarthy, "half-shot'
looking individuals and tive-by- -four
middle-aged woman engaged in short
time for-drinks game. No one ap-
peared to notice him when he first en-
tered, but finally, after rapping on
vacant table, one of them raised his
head and asked "You want drink r.
He told him that he did not, but would
like to be shown room. He was con-
Quoted to a side room, and after bathing
and resting a while, was 'halloed'
to dinner. Reaching the dining
room, be found the two individuals first
seen seated and pouring wine in on
"full-fedged" garlic dinner which
had been served ON their plates. He
could hardly stand this, but when the
old lady stuck bottle of "forty yard
"kill-me-quick" under his nose to put
in his coffee, he quit the table, left the
house, and swore that he would from
that time on neither put Oh airs with
nothing to back him, or judge of any
thing from outside appearances.

In buildings have warmth with COM
plete ventilation, without current, but
never under 40 or over 20 degrees

A cold, damp, airy temperature will
cause animals to consume more food
without corresponding result in bone
