ST. LANDRY PARISH, June 81, 1888.
Editor ST. LANDRY DEMOCRAT:
In writing again in reply to Mr.
O'Shane feel that | am intruding on
the limits of propriety. The discussion
has occupied much space and, so far as
the articles are concerned, to little pur-
pose for the injustice of blowing men
and property into fragments with dy-
Mantle is self-evident to all but those
who are blinded by prejudice or igno-
rance furthermore, Mr.. O'Shane is ar
guiug now in a circle. The sayings of
Messrs. Halpin and Rooney are not au-
thorities, and even as opinions they are
poor ones. The utterances of individu-
ais or acts Of government if directed
against England, have no more force
than the gentle June breezes.
No body of men can divest them
selves of responsibility to the laws of
their country or the. country in which
they sojourn and any who hold con-
tTary opinions are not authorities, but
are in antagonism to the pos
tive institutions of the whole
world. History, which Mr.. O'Shane
threatens to cite, will show that any
society, which refused to acknowledge
and practice the approved laws, had a
brief existence. In no case will history
show precedent for doing any kind of
wrong.
III said Mr.. DISTANCES last article dis
played ignorance it does not follow that
it cast any reflection on the Irish at
large. He will have to stand on bis
individual merits as a writer although
it might ease the smart if the assertion
could be diverted from himself. II he
will reconsider his intention and not
quote history, | am Willing to concede
any point established that he desires.
If he intends to quote the utterances Of
every member OF his party and all the
crimes of history, think the foregoing
the best course.
I would add that am no champion
OF England. Opposing dynamite is not
defending England. In th1pdiscussion,
introduced the appeal of Mr.. Sullivan |
as coming from an Irish NJ. p, and a
gentleman of high character and stand
ing, and not as an authority-this is
why did not put him sin with the rest
of the Irishmen."
The celebrated DR.. johnson was at
some pains once to explain certain
point to an astute listener. After he
had finished, his nearer said 81 don't
it." The irascible DIR. in
his usual gruff manner, replied: Il can
give you an idea, but I cannot furnish
You with brains to understand it.n
Thanking you for the indulgence
shown by giving these, efiusions place
in your columns, win make my bow
and subside. TERENCE MCGUIRE.

Sundays Fish Fry.

A party of gentleman went to the
country on Saturday last to fish fry,
bouillion, ETC., earring along the fat man
of the late Coulon Bridge excursion as
acting physician and the slim Texanized
individual as their best assistant for
seining III deep water. From the fact
that this rendezvous is but short way
from town, they reached there on time,
spent the night and had had world of
fun before our law-abiding informant
reached the scene on Sunday morning.
He says that they caught "lotsn of fish,
eat "a heap" and SO on, but their help
from the tall man was minus except in
getting away" with more than his
share at meal times, and in being rather
handy when there were any corks to
draw. The consequence was that he
took sick and went to bed. The fat
man prescribed what he called "wizardn
pills 1.-TWO parts bread, one of salt, two
OF water) which the patient claimed
had a magic effect. The fat man who
steadied his nerves to roll the wizard
compound by taking too much wine fell
into Rip Van Wrinkle sleep Of many
hours. was forsaken by his party and
did not reach town until five o'clock the
next morning.

school Commencement.

The examinations OF Mrs. NJ. Hayes
School took place on Tuesday and We'd
nesday last with gratifying results to
parents and teachers alike. Tuesday
was principally occupied in examin-
ing the primary department. With the
exception of a few of the more ad-
yanced classes heard on the first day,
the intermediate and academic stu
dents passed creditably through the
test on Wednesday.
THE ENTERTAINMENT.
The entertainment being under the
management of Mrs. NJ. NJ. Haas, ably
assisted by her teachers, was truly
magnificent affair considering the fact
that such short time was spent in pre-
paration for it. The programme for
the first night was a Lengthy and inter
estlng one, and although all participa-
ting on the occasion We're perfect in the
performance and rendition of their
parts. a lack of time forbids us either in
giving full report or mentioning them
separately. Suffice it then to say that
the music, vocal and instrumental, and
the recitations, ETC., were irst-class in
every particular, and reflected great
credit on the management for the occa-
sion as we'll the deserVedly high repu-

The official conduct of Gov. Cleveland
is giving Democratic politicians con-
siderable uneasiness. They see in his
administration more devotion to the
interests of the State than to the de-

this reason it is predicted that the Dem
ocratic majority in the next election in
New York will be greatly reduced.

The copious rains that have pre-
vailed during thirty days just passed,
have assured good corn crop for all
who planted in February, and made the
cane and rice crops flourish, and fur
nished an opportunity for all to plant a
large sweet potato crop; but great
deal Of cotton is irredeemably in the
grass in some sections where there has
been the most rain.

To Two School Girls.

In your homes far away,
May your joy be complete
And each coming day
With rich blessings replete-
May each hearts wish be granted
Your lives a sweet dream
By songsters enchanted,
A heaven to seem.
May no i'll fate betide you
Where'er you may roam,
With angels to guideyo
Abroad or at home.
This wish of friend
Who through life would be true
He therefore doth send
AS his fervent adieu.

It is asserted as fact that the other
day while a number of hands were en-
gagged in cleaning up the Catholic Gem
etery they noted the peculiar actions of
turkey hen which seemed anxious
vet afraid to enter bunch Of grass or
briars near by. Thinking that it was
probably frightened by snake one of
the party went to see what was the
matter, and found partridge on a nest
within few feet of the turkey with
it's wings spread out endeavoring very
hard to cover something. On further
examination, it was discovered that the
partridge had previously layed setting
of eggs, and in its absence, the turkey
had used the nest to lay in. When the
former returned it remained on the
nest, and when seen, was not only keep
ing the turkey from laying there again,
but seemed to be trying to cover the
turkey egg regardless Of the rest. Now,
il we endeaver to cipher out by imag-
ination the partidge's reason for such &C
tlOn, we suppose tHdt II taOuSHb Wien
II saw the turkey egg, that it was one
of its own laying, and being as large
as all the rest put together, that she
would raise good size family from it,
and i'm addition to the fact that she did
NOT care to take the trouble of Matching
so many eggs when one might answer
the same purpose, it was part OF econ
omy not to have too many in the same
house to be provided for.

The entertainment for the benefit of

Friday night last, proving very pleas
ant as well as profitable one. 1t was
largely attended and patronized by
young and old of all the denominations
here, and was tirst-class in every par
ticular. While, Immediately after pur-
chasing from the tastefully arranged
and well-tilled refreshment tables,
no one had to wait to be served, things
"panned OUT exceedingly well and
nearly everything was disposed of.

minished the ice-cream supply the freez-
ing material left was jndiciously dis
posed OF by the young people by exterior
application. From the number of
young folks cornered and participating
in games,s etc., we judge that they had
fine time and that a few of the fair
sex might have listened to sermons
devoid of either a preceding or closing
hymn.
