Margaret Haughery was recently buried
in New Orleans with honors such as are
rarely bestowed upon any woman, almost
the entire city being 10 mourning. She
was of humble ongiu, uneducsted, and
had never worn a silk dress or kid glove;
but she was famous and beloved as friend
of the poor children Of Louisiana. Many
years ago she nursed a dying man, who
left her little property for charity. She
bought with this money q cheap eating
house and bakery on the river front, and
sold wholesome food to steamboat labor
ers at little more than cost. "She gave
them role and cup of coffee for FIVE
cents, 10 keep them from spending quar-
ter for whiskey, and they took the roll and
coffee, and then spent twenty-five cents for
whiskey all the same" The business pros
pered and she might have accumulated
wealth; bat she established and partially
maintained three orphan asylums with the
profits, and died rich only in reputation

PERSONAL MENTION.

Mr.. w. C. Perrault left last week for
Belle Cheney springs.
Mr.. Jean Martin and family, after an
absence of severeral months in France,
returned on Wednesday last.
Rev. L. j. Hough, after a months
absence, returned the early part of the
week. We hope his health improved.
Miss Rosa Lambert, who has been
spending some time in Plaquemine
Brulee, returned the first of the week.
Messrs. Owen Mahon and Joseph De-
jean of Barry's Landing, paid us a
pleasant call on Tuesday last. Not
witlrstanding they were sufferers from
the overflow, they are full of business
and hopeful.
Our popular Main street grocer, Mr..
Sol. Loeb, returned from New Orleans
last week, with his fall stock, we sup
pose. From some cause beyond his
understanding, he was the recipient a
day or so after his arrival of two or
three cakes from different friends, for
all Of which he returns thanks.

Recent improvements in the erection
of saw mills in this parish confirm us in
the opinion that the "cap- the climax
architect in that line of business recent
ly made his debut in the execution of a
piece Of work for Mr.. w. F. Anderson
on Bayou Teche. Although the gentle
man who claims the engineering" of
this master-piec of work is noted for
his veracity, we have the sworn evil
dence Of Mr.. A. to the effect that if he
had anything to do with setting any
thing up around there, it must have
a,een the drinks to the upright brick
layer who helped him read the Mascots
brought from town and in '.getting
away with ten half bottles Of whisky
in a day and a half. No, there was
nothing much to his credit for setting
things up, but a "sight" for setting
around there. So much SO that the
place has since been christened Setter
yille."

A BRAVE WoMAN.-On the 31st of
July, Mrs. Griffith Thompson, living
near Bayou Chicot, observing COM
motion among the cattle near the honse,
went to see what the matter was, when
full grown wild cat leaped upon her
and fastened his teeth in her left arm.
She Immediately grasped the savage
creature by the throat with the right
hand, and calling for assistance in vain,
held the cats throat while it was biting
and scratching her, until she choaked
it to death. 1t never relaxed it's hold
until dead. The lady was somewhat
injured, but we are glad to know, not
seriously. She is certainly a plucky
woman.

John Senegal, colored, is in trouble.
He threatened to kill an old colored
man, this week, who had him arrested
and put under bond to keep the peace.
After furnishing bond and being re-
leased, he concealed himself the same
night at the old mans cow lot, and as
the latter let the bars down to turn in
the cows, he pounced upon him and
beat him terribly. Senegal is now in
Jail here, and the bond of $1OO that he
furnished will have to be paid before
he will be let to bail on another.

Among the most novel of names
which has come under our observation
is that of 'Light-and Tie" name Civ
Ell to school or church house near
or probably in Prairie Hayes. We
take it from the assessment roll. The
name is said to have originated in this
way: While the house was being built
some man rode up and was asked to
light and tie. Since that time it has
been called by the above name.

Playing Deputy Sheriff.

Not great while ago one of oul
| young friends who was then in the col
lecting business was making u trip t,
| Conlee Croche for the purpose of get
| ting together some scattered change
I Having started from town at late
hour, he made it as far as the abode OF
two thrifty bachelor farmers living
about three miles south OF town. One
of the above gentlemen referred to-
knowing the nature of his visitor, and
also OF certain gentleman of color on
his place who had been cutting up" in
town, approached his lodger for the
night and told him that he had negro
on his place who was neglecting his
business very much of late by running
to town at night, and furthermore, that
on recent trip he had got into some
kind Of scrape, had to leave in hur-
ry and seemed very much frightened
about it. Now, in order to break up
this running to town entirely he pro-
posed in the morning to give the
collector pistol and that he should
play off sheriff and take the negro off
in the direction of town, and that on
his getting short distance Oft, he, the
farmer, would follow him and "beg
the negro off" The visitor agreed and
was given the pistol at the stated
time. Early next morning while the
collector was feeding his horse and pre-
pairing to play off his joke on the
darkey, our farmer told him that
his pistol would not be loaded; that
as the negro was "scarry' caps on it
would be sufficient. just before the
officer got ready he slipped around and
told the negro that the gentleman in
the house was deputy sheriff and had
come to take him to Jail, but that he
would give him pistol, and wanted
him to go so far, when he must stop
and if the deputy tried to do anything
he must use it on him, and fur
thermore, that in case he didn't succeed
in getting away be would help him out,
but that it wouldn't do to pull his pistol
ont there because others who were pres
ent would be witnesses against both of
them. So when the deputy came and
read the warrant, the negro "kicked'' a
little, but was pursuaded to move on by
the collectors pulling a six shooter
around to the front of his belt. After
he had got the negro to walk ahead
a few steps up the road the pistol was
to its place, and all went we'll
until certain point was reached, where
the negro stopped and refused to- go
further. Our collector started to pull
his pistol, but the negro pulled his and
''got the drop" on him. The assumed
deputy, knowing that his pistol had no
loads in it, sided off on the other side
of bis horse begging as he went. The
negro followed him, and, reaching over
the animal, was, as he thought, about to
shoot him, when the farmer came up
and sent him away, telling the col
ector that if he had known that the
negro was armed he would not have
tried to work up such trick on him.
On leaving our collector looked as
though he would neither try to play off
deputy or have such situation if there
was u vacancy.
Man Cook is our authority for
;he above, and knowing that be is a
good hand at manufacturing snch yarns,
he public will know how much of it to
believe.

An honest farmer OF this vicinity
recently visited gentleman of simi-

vue,-we might call it the halfway
plantation. While he was there two of
our towns "best" drove up. After
spending a pleasant hour with the we'll
to do farmer man." all hands conclud-
ed to leave him alone in his glory. As
they were leaving the seemingly hos
pitable farmer handed his neigh
Dor who was married man a couple
Of melons for his family. As he was on
foot, two good-sized melons were a
little too much to carry. So the two
sports who had came from town in
buggy kindly relieved him of his bur
den, placing them along side OF those
given them, and promising at the same
time to leave them at his house as they
passed going to town. On arriving at
their friends house, instead Of leaving
them as they had promised, they took
the advice of man." who, though the
giyer of the fruit, had coaxed them to
getup sell by bringing them on to town.
One of the jokers carried his melons
home and shared them with large
family; the other laid out with his, get
ting the full benefit of the one given
him by man." and of that stolen from
his married friend. We learn that a
suit for damages will be Instituted
