The magic lantern entertainment
given by Prof. Walker, on Monday
night last, for the benefit of the Chari-
ty Hospital, we learn, proved a success.
A leading feature of the show was the
display of the benighted sisters white
teeth as they greeted representations of
the Caucasian angel and the like with
song. Glimpes of Glory are inspiring.
We learn that the Professor has CEN
tered his affection on "Mollie Darling"
here, and will prove a bolster to the
financial embarrassment of the colored
churches.

Improvement.

Mr.. Antoine Christman's residence or
east Bellevue is undergoing thorough
repair, a new gallery and roof being
added.
Follow the good example set by Mr.
Theo. Chachere, who has repaired the
sidewalk around his store and leading
past his residence.
A little whitewash such as Mr.. Sol
Loeb used on his premises would moi
hurt some of the fences and buildings
on the same street, the Masonic lodge
included.
District Attorney Perrodin has en-
closed the front of his premises with a
very neat fence which we learn is the
artistic design and make Of Mr.. Victor
Bourdin of this place. Mr.. David
Smith is doing the painting.
Mr.. Jos. Bloch is making great i'm
provement on his store building by re-
modelling the upper story. 1t has been
divided off into about dozen rooms
with passage running east and making
q turn northward to the stairway COM
municating with the street, destined for
a dwelling. He has also added a
long and deliberately ornamented gall
lery.
On Court street the work Of the ear
penter and painter is more noticeable
than elsewhere. In the north end this
work is manifest in the house put up
and painted by Mr.. r. Bodemuller as in
the new enclosures Of his and Mr.. E.
Bodemuller's premises. Further up
the lumLer is on the ground for build
ing the residence Of Mr.. Alexis Sandoz.
r.. Lessassier has also built an addition
to his store, and still further up, be-
sWeen his premises and Mr.. T.. B. San
xiaz's store a new cottage is being built.

The following little gem from til
pen of Will s. Hays,-a tribute to til
memory of the late Capt. j. NJ. Whit,
we republish by request:
''Mate, get ready down on deck,
I'm bending for the shore.
I'll ring the bell for I must land
This boat, forevermore.
"Say, Pilot, can you see that light?
do where angels stand
Well, hold her jackstatf hard on that,
For there 1'm going to land.
"That looks like Death a-hailing me,
So ghasIly, grim and pale,
I'll toll the bell-T must go in,
| never passed a hail.
t'Stop her. Let her come in slow,
There That will do-no more.
The lines are fast and angels wait
To welcome me ashore.
ssSay, Pilot, am going with them
Up yonder through that gate.
I'll not come back-y0u ring the bell
And back her out--don't wait.
aFor have made the trip of life,
And found my landing place
I'll take my soul and anchor that

Christening, Concert and Ball.

The fire department of our town,
consisting of four companies, and that
of Washington, two companies, met at
$50 o'clock P. N. on Wednesday last
for the purpose of participating in a
parade which was incident to the christ
ening of Opelousas Fire Company No.
is new steam engine. At the COM
mand of Grand Marshal Firnburg, as
sisted by Messrs. Sol. Bloch, III. E. Es-
forge L. A. Sandoz and E. Sumpter
Taylor, the column left a position taken
for a photograph and marched from the
entrance on Court street in the follow
ing order: The elegantly mounted
and beaver-hat staff of marshals first,
W. A. Robertson's Brass Band next, and
Immediately in its wake came Hook &
Ladders trnck drawn by the blue uni
formed members of that company and
the similarly dressed and full delega-
ton from Washinton's Hook & Ladder
Company. Perseverance Fire Com
pany of Washington next in order was
followed by the red line of Opelousas
Steam Fire Company with steamer
drawn by line of their men forming
a circle in which pranced the unmount-
ed steed of F. F. Perrodin, their presi-
dent. Liberty No.2 with white uni
form came next, headed by mounted
and plug-hat president, the rear being
brought up by Opelousas Fire Com
pany No. 8 similarly uniformed, with
engine gorgeously decorated, and a
vehicle which carried the Mayor and
representatives of the press. The
whole column, making in color, a
fair representation of our nations flag,
marched to music down Court street to
Landry, and from thence into Market,
down that street to Vine, where after
words Of welcome, ripe appreciation
and thanks in behalf of his little daugh-
ter Blanche" by F. F. Perrodin, the
engine was christened to her name by
w. C. Perrault, Esq, whose eloquenee
has no bounds, and was sprinkled with
champagne as it fell from her hands in
the breaking of a bottle on one of the
wheels. The line then marched to
Main street, up that street to the Cour-
Ter office where tune was played and
thence up to the blacksmith shop, and
turning into Union, down to Bellevue
and west to Market, down as far as
Bellevue and east to Court, down
to Vine, where they serenaded the Dem-
o crat office and returning to Main up to
Bellevue, back to Court and up that
street back to the market house,
where the truck was restored, the coll
ored companies marching to feast at
Vilaseca's especially prepared for them,
and the whites back to Main, up that
street to Perrodin's Hall where the en-
CINE was stored for the night and a
feast of tempting viands
beer and wines awaited them.
The concert and ball at night being
under the management of Misses Jagou
q nd Collins assisted by Mrs. Wa. San
doz and Mrs. j. B. Sandoz, who kept
ref reshment tables, were as matter of
fact grand success and will serve as
brilliant precedents to future enter
Between the concert and ball the
elegant machine presented by Misses
and Provost was ratified, Mr..
w. O. Posey being the lucky winner.
With the mention of the fact that
during the parade an elegant cover to
The engines smoke-stack was presented |
BY Mrs. D. Laas, we have probably told
all we know for this time.
