Basket Meeting.

The combined membership of the col
ored Methodist and Baptist churches
assembled on Sunday last at the last
named church for the purpose of hold
ing basket meeting. As they came
from all parts it was no usual sight to
see so, in company with an artist who
ought to have brought an instrument
along, we walked down in the evening
to .ssee the sights.' The building and
yard were so crowded that we failed to
get in, but were often given an in
sight to what was going on by the ap-
pearance in the windows of the heads
of shouting members whom our COM
panion said had begun to feel their
OATS" and by shove under our nose
of the numberless hats, and we believe
one clothes basket, which came around
about every half hour to collect for
each preacher or exhorter. 1t must
have been a pretty regular procedure,
as the amount raised exceeded eighty
dollars, each round bringing in
dollar or so in ,nickles. We know
that these commodities were scarce, for
we borrowed one, lent another and
had half dozen applications for more.
The colored folks had a nice time and
everything passed off well except that
one darkey accused another of "rakin'
nicklesn for himself and some insinua-
tions on the part of Washington's
crowd to the effect that "Opelousas mig
gers were mighty hungry"

The street commissioners have been
doing a good work in the north end OF
town, by opening out streets, building
bridges, etc. That end Of Market,
which for some years seems to have
been neglected, has been thoroughly
worked and drained, and will compare
fayorably in this respect with any part
Of town a new bridge and other minor
improvements also on Court street.
All things considered, the streets are
in better condition than for some time
mast. By little more ditching and
leyeling Of sidewalks the work will be
complete.

How the Ladies of OpelOusas
Do Things UP for Pleasure.
BELLEVUE. May Z, 1888

BELLEVUE. Mdy &, 1000.
Editor ST. LANDRY DEMOCRAT:
Last Thursday morning as the iron
horse on the Morgan railroad came
snorting down the track we We're awak-
ened from our slumbers by his shrlll
whistle, and to our surprise three ladies,
one gentleman and some children got
off, armed and equipped with their
lunch baskets and fishing tackle, to
make charge upon the fnny tribe.
They asked the way to the nearest fish
ing ground. We directed them as best
we could. Sorry hack and ponies were
absent, SO we could give them trans
portation to the ground. Soon after
those came hack and lady and her
son in hunt of the party. We saw them
as they returned. Believe they had a
nice time. Come again ladies; but let
us know before hand, and we will rem
der you any service in our power.
Next, on Friday, came a swarm head
ed by Mrs. Hayes and our able friend,
Capt. James White. We believe there
was about forty children of all sizes,
armed and equipped for a frolic and fun
and they had it, though the weather was
unfayorable, threatening rain. They
left their trunks and baskets with us
and started for the bayou about 10
o'clock. They began to come back In
squads, scattered through the woods.
About12, the elderly ladies with the
Lady Superior, put in an appearance.
| By this time it began to rain IN good
old fashion style. Now for dinner they
had about the depot, etc. They spread
out the refreshments, and the little fel-
lows pitched in to do it justice. 1t was
| d line lunch. As big dinner, the beauty
Of il was, there were no servants. 1t
would have done you good to see how
| the little chaps enjoyed fun in the null
berry trees and magnolia, and fern and
everything that suited them. They
were turned loose to enjoy themselves.
The best behavior that | ever saw
among a lot Of children. Not one squab-
| BILE or ill word was spoken all day that
| I heard. After dinner all kinds OF
plays that could be thought of. They
enjoyed themselves until the train no
tilted them that it was time to break up.
All seemed to be sorry they had to go
home. Come again ladies, and fetch a
reporter. These woods are nice place
for pic-nics. We always like the young
people to enjoy themselves. Z.

The sight of the passenger car on
Sunday evenings has ceased to draw

To MEASURE THE Flow OF STREAMS.
The Manufacturer and Builder gives the
following very simple method: To meas
ure water roughly in an open stream,
take from four to twelve different points
in straight line, across the stream, and
measure the depth at each of these
points, and adding them together, divide
by the number Of measurements taken.
This quotient will give you the average
depth, which should he measured in feet.
Multiply this average depth by the width
in feet, and this will give you the square
feet of cross section of the stream. Null.
tiply this by the velocity OF the stream
in feet, per minute, and you will have
the cubic feet, per minute, of the stream
The velocity Of the stream can be found
by laying off 100 feet on the bank, and
then throwing board into the stream at
the middle, note the time required to
pass over the 100 feet, and dividing the
100 feet by the time and multiplying by
90. gives the velocity in feet, per minute,
at the surface. The velocity at the GEN.
ter IS only eighty-three per cent of that
at the surface, and so only eighty. three |
per cent should be calculated. For ex-
ample, suppose the float passes 100 feet
in ten seconds, this, divided by ten and
multiplied by sixty, seconds in minute)
gives 600 feet. per minute rs the velocity
aud eighty-three per cent of this gives
49S feet, per minute, as the velocity of
the stream at the center, and the area of |
the cross section, multiplied by this, will |
give the number of cubic feet, per min.
ute, in the stream.
