The Metropolitan Bank, at New
Orleans, was burglarised last Sun
day night. The robbers. three in
number. bound end gagged the
Waterman, and broke open the
vault, but left the safe untouched,
probably for want of time. About
$4,000 Of the Banks money in the
vault was stolen, and a number of
bank boxes. owned by merchants in
the vicinity, were opened and the
contents taken, consisting of money
and jewelry. The total loss is not
known. A man by the name of
Hines has been arrested on sus-
picion.

The summer business Of Covirg-
ton would be increased hundred
fold if we had connection With the
city by telegraph or telephone. Our
hotels would soon fill up. and our
merchants would be greatly bene-
flied by increased trade. The citi-
zens Of Vaudeville realize this fact
and are moving IL the matter. If
We cannot take the lead, let us at
least follow in the footsteps Of our
enterprising neighbor, and Ego and
do likewise"
Two painful accidents occurred
in Covington'. this. week. Last
Monday. while Mrs. Anderson was
standing on small table. hanging
pictures on the wall, she fell and
dislocated her shoulder-b blade. She
was attended by DR.. Chambers, and
is now rapidly recovering.
Last Wednesday evening, Sidney
Foote. grandson Of Mrs. Anderson,
fell out Of mulberry tree at the
Joyner House and broke his left
arm. near the wrist. His was taken
to his home, where his wound was
dressed by Drs. Chambers and
Warren. The break is u very bad
one, and it will doubtless be many
days before he.iregains- the use of
his arm.

ance caused by clouds of dust and
flying cinders. which detract from
the pleasure Of a journey to those
watering-places near the city which
are reached by rail. The town Of
Vaudeville only needs to become
better known, to be fully appre-

Our stay was limited to but q
few minutes, otherwise we would
have visited many of our friends and
patrons. We had the pleasure.
however, of meeting Mr.. Frank
RibaEa, one OF the leading ner-
chants Of the place. He informed
us that steps were being taken to
build a telegraph line from Mande-
vile to Sidell, distance of about
eighteen miles, which will place the
town in direct communication with
New Orleans.
Fishing in The Lake is good, and
improving all the time. We heard
OF two gentlemen who caught over
three hundred croakers Monday
evening. Sheephead are also biting.
We were very favorably impress

En1roR ST.. TAMM.NY FARMER:
Your attention has doubtless
been attracted to the recent devel-
opponents concerning the manage
ment of the State land Office, and
the scandalous impositions upon
the people of our State through the
McEnery land contract.
It is desired to obtain as much
evidence as possible concerning the
interrogation of cash sent to the
Land Office for the purchase oflaad,
and the request is made that all
persons in your section who have
bought State lands within the last
two years should send me date of
application and amount of money
sent to the Land Office. I will in
turn inform them whether their
cash reached the State Treasury.
By inserting this notice in your
valuable paper, you will aid the
cause Of reform, and oblige,
AouI6 IeopeCtiuiys
C.SH. PAREER,
Editor Picayune.
It has already been acknowledge
ed, by State Register Richardson,
that where cash has been paid by
purchasers of State lands. McEnery
scrip was turned into the treasury
in its stead. The Picayune has
undertaken to reform this abuse.
and is determined to ascertain, if
possible, to what extent the State
has been mulcted of her Just dues. |
In the performance of this tack she |
will doubtless receive the prompt |
encouragement and aid of all lovers |
Of reform and good government. |
The public lands of the State ere
the Inheritance of the people, and |
should be guarded against the
schemes of ruthless spectators and
interruptions officials.

works Company says they must con.
tinue to use Mississippi water. The
State Constitution declares that
"all government, of right, origin.
ates with the people, is founded on
their will alone, and is instituted
solely for the good of the whole,
deriving its just powers from the
consent Of the governed" No law
can compel the people to use i'm
pure water without their consent,
and if the press and citizens of New
Orleans. instead of quietly submit
ting to this outrage (Which amounts
to usurpation and oppression) will
bravely stand up for their rights,
the Waterworks Company can soon
be made to "sing another tune"
and be compelled to furnish them
with sweet and pure water, in place
OF the yellow, sickening stuff they
now furnish, which is only fit for
extinguishing fires. sprinkling the
streets. washing out cutters. etc.

Written for the FARNRl
BABY.
BY BEL. HILTON.

Fair the daisies blossom now,
Stars above oioudless brow,
Shaded by soft, bright crown,
Little curls of golden brown.
Little hands, so soft and white,
Folded in the graves still night
Folded on the Baby breast
Hands that never needed rest.
Little feet. in slippers blue,
Feet that could not but be true,
Swift to walk the shining way
All they never went astray.
Precious feet, that never more
Shall dance across the parlor floor,
In the summers evening light,
Ere the soft lips kissed goodnight
Still and cold and white are they,
Nothing now but precious clay.
The soul that made them Baby's feet,
Now walks, in joy, the golden street.
When Deaths breath shall blow away
Mists which hide the Eternal day,
Will the blue of Baby's eyes
Bnght'n for me in Paradise?
Ali over in the better land,
Shall clasp the dimrled hand?
Will she, at the pearly gate,
For her.weary mother wait?

Vaudeville.

II ANIL NA4l1-A.
We paid a flying VISIT to our. sic
ter town of Vaudeville, last Tues
day, in Mr.. w. H. Davenport.
large and comfortable 1sstage. Thu
day was clear and pleasant, and We
found the roads, with.tfew excep.
lions, dry and in good condition
The bridges, however, are scarcely
worthy of the name, particularly
the one across the A5ita, which is
SO dilapidated as to be actually un-
safe; the others are in little better
repair, bu! even the best is a dis
grace to our parish. The only
ching we can say in their favor is
that, up to the present time, no
serious accident, with loss of life,
Las occurred on any of them. They
should all be replaced by good, sub
stansih bridges, with strong. rail-
ings on the sides.
As we neared Vaudeville, there
was very perceptible change in
the atmosphere, caused by the
cool, refreshing breeze from the
Lake.
On the outskirts of the town we
observed large frame building,
which we learned is intended for
silk factory. The building, which
stands in the center Of q large field,
is surrounded by thousands of
young mulberry trees. We did not
learn the name Of the proprietor,
but hope that his venture will
prove success, as it has on former
occasions in this parish.
The drive along the front street
was exceedingly pleasant. On one
side the Lake stretches away in the
distance, dotted here and there
with passing vessels ':under full
SAIL" while on the other side, and
fronting the Lake, are number of
fine residences. neatly painted, with
well-kept yards, in which the sarest
flowers, of every variety, were grow
ing in rich profusion. The street
s lined with rows Of ive-oaks, of
magnificent growth, the branches
,eing entwined together, forming q
perfect evergreen arch. from which
he long gray moss floated in wavy
md graceful festoons. rendering
be scence enchanting beyond de-
cription.
The general appearance of the
own gave evidence Of the fact that
he citizens are refined and intelli-
en-. and take great pride in max
ng their homes and surroundings
eat and attractive, as we'll as COM {
