THE LEVEE CONVENTION,

The action of the Ievee convention which
| IS to meet at Baton Rougen next Monday, on
the call Of the Governor, may exercise an
important influence upon the future work
of protecting our State from the incursions
of annual floods, hence the deliberations of
this body will be watched with absorbing
| interest. Nearly all the alluyial parishes
have chosen delegates who are qualified by
ability and experience to represent the best
interests of their respective communities,
| and it is to be hoped that out of their coun-
sells wisdom will emanate-that extravagant
theories will be modified by friction against
each other, and conclusions reached which
promise the greatest good to the greatest
number.
Admirable judgment was exhibited in the
selection Of the Ascension delegation, which
is composed of Messrs. Jos. L. Brent, VIM
Porcher Miles, R. T. Hanson, j. c. Cofeld,
Richard Mccall, Soaring Taylor and NJ. W.
Barton. If the other parishes have done
even approximately as well we have no
fear that the convention will either do things
it should not have done or leave undore
things it ought to have done.
A ST. JAMES ENTERTAINMENTS fair and
concert were given at st. Michael Church,
St. James parish, last Sunday, for the joint
benefit Of the church and the Charity Hospi-
tai, and the entertainment was highly sue
cessful in both its features. In spite of
unfayorable weather about 500 persons were
in attendance Sunday evening, and enjoyed
the concert to the utmost. Theprogramme
was an excellent one, comprising, among
other attractions, "La Cigale ct la Fournie,"
a song by Master Henry Comstock, duet
by Mrs. Gray and Mr.. Dicharry, a duet by
Messrs. Lambremont and Comstock andno
less than four songs by Mr.. Gabriel Garde-
NAL of Donaldsonvllie, who scored most
telling hit and took the audience by storm.
His songs were entitled, s:La Mort de Les-
.bia,'' g Le Voyage Griagalet,'' g G,.iaga-
let a la aoce q Josephine" and sic Garcon
de Boulanuer." He was encored for the
fifth time, but explained that, being only
mortal, he was compelled to ask to be ex-
cused. There were several fine tabieaux.
and the brass band from Jefferson College
furnished good music for the occasion.

Yesterday evening Gabe Mollere insisted
upon mounting the red-hot little pony
with which Frank Martinez runs down or
runs away from obstreperous beef cattle,
and the pony must have taken notion that
particularly vicious steer was in his wake.
The picture presented by that diminutive
nag streaking it down front street with
hatless and hapless Gabe holding to the
pommel of the saddle with both hands will
not soon be effaced from the retina of our

refuge in the Lee stables none the worse
for their escapade.

THE BIBLE SOCIETY.

Its Meeting Last Night-InterestinS Sta
t,sIics Showing the Good Work Done.
The board of managers of the Washington
City Bible society resumed their usual
monthly meetings Mt the Y. NJ. c. A. building
last evening at o'clock, Rev. DIR. Pitzer,
president, in the chair.
The following grants were approved: Four
bibles and 90 testaments to Zion A. NJ. Il.
Sabbath school; 6 bibles to frcedmen's hos
pial; 20 testamGnts to industrial school; IL
bibles to Hillsdalc (Miss.) school. Mr.. Harper
reported 674 days service, during which he
made 3,206 visits, found lOi destitute families,
supplied 13l families and 1i6 individuals.
Sold AS books for $103.31 and received in
donations S9.47. A contribution of So was
received from the Gurley mission. Mr.. Smell
reported collecting S6t,70 The treasurer re-
ported balance of $l2l.22; receipts, $lS35S:
disbursements, $30l.S0; salaries and debts,
S20300; balance on hand, $1,000.
The statement was made that the opinion
was becoming prevalent that the American
Bible society was n wealthy institution. re-
cciving large amounts from real estate and
invested funds, and did not absolutely need
contributions to carry on its work. The
facts are that the Bible house in New York
city is about all the real estate it owns; that
the revenue received from rentals paid the
salary Of the officers, and all its other funds
arc employed III DlDIc WORK. Inc blDlo Su-
ciety is at the foundation of all mission work,
furnishing tho missionaries with the word of
God in the language of the people to whom
they minister, and were the legacies
and contributions to stop to-day, this vast
and ever increasing work would have to be
abandoned. This society is now for the fourth
time furnishing Bible TO every destitute
family in the United States, and needs tho
constant flow Of beneGces TO carry on its
work uS much rs any other voluntary society
organized for the good of our follow men.
