cheer:.to the firemsn, paid handsome
tribute to the beauty and innocence of
the little patronsss-Blanche-and that
as her name was engraved in indelible
letters upon their beautiful ,engine, 90
would the reflection of her childish pur-
ity and typical innocence nerve the
arms of the fremen to stand firm and
undaunted in the hour. Of .pcril when
defending life and property from the
destroying and merciless fire fiend. He
then pronounced the engine as named
BLANCHE PERRoDIN; the little patron
ess broke a bottle of champagne upon
the engine, when the fire companies
gave her three loud and hearty cheers
as parting tribute. The two bands
played some fine airs during the inter
walls of the ceremony, along the line of
march through the principal streets, and
halted at each newspaper Office and rem
dered some choice pieces. The parade
lasted about two hours, and the streets
were alive with our citizens who seemed
to look with pride upon the fine display
of all the fire companies. After the
parade nice collat on was spread at
Perrodin's Opera House by Steam Fire
Co. No. j, where they entertained the
visiting firemen from Washington, and
Hope Hook & Ladder Co., with cordial
hospitality. Many appropriate toasts
were drunk in which Opcleusas and
Washington exchanged sentiments of
warm fraternity in the cause which
bound them as brothers ready
for duty" The Washington fremen
are body Of fine looking men, resolute
in appearance, and pleasant and soeia-
ble in their manners. The tiremen of
Opelousas will always be glad to meet
them Oh parade or off duty.
The two colored companies were also
royalty entertained by old No. ], the
one at Vilaseca's Hall and the other at
the vacant store, corner Market and
Bellevue streets.
At night the Company's concert and
ball took place at Perrodin's Hall, aud
although the attendance was not as large
as was expected, yet everything passed
off pleasantly and satisfactorily. There
was some excellent music rendered by
Misses Jagon, Collin, Posey, and other
talented amateurs of our town, and the
terpsichorean ar; was...pfactleed iuntil
the wee, sma' hours " of morning.
Last Wednesdays parade was gala
day to Opelousas, and eclipsed any sim
liar occasion in the past.
IN conclusion, we would ssy to our
people, yon have a splendid body OF
| firemen, bnt to make them effective you
must furnish them with all the neces-
sary appurtenaDcos to fight the fire.
Equip them thoroughly, aud they viii
do noble and effective service in time

The citizens of New Orleans have re-
solved to make grand effort to raise
the necessary funds to enlarge the ca
pacities of the Charity Hospital, one of
the noblest institutions Of it's kind in
the United States. 1t is matter that
appeals loudly to every friend OF the
poor and unfortunate. The following
is the appeal of the committee:
The undersigned proprietors of news
papers have been appointed Commit
tee to appeal to the Press for this laud~
able object. This aid is not asked tor
its ordinary expenditures of general
running expenses, but to increase It's
accommodations and capacity for the
good of the sick, by adding another
story to the present building and to
make absolutely necessary sanitary i'm
provements. The. doors of this Institu-
ton are open at all times to the sick,
the lame and the wounded of all nations,
ereeds and colors without distinction
a large majority of the inmates are from
other States. The building of railroads
and other public works has added great
ly to the number of patients, and now
that the Hospital is crowded 80 as to
endanger the lives of many of it's in
mates, think what would be the conse-
auence if we should in addition have an
epidemic and have no home or shelter
for the sick We believe that it is only
necessary to make the wants of this
world-reaowned National Institution
known to the Press of the land to meet
with favorable response to the call.
Yours, respectfully,

GRAND CorEAu, April 18th, 1883.


EDITORS OF TUE CoURIkh:
Tuesday, the 18th, rose unusually
bright for the students OF st. Charles
College. At an early hour, headed by
our gallant standard -bearer, We march
ed with steady tread through Grand
Coteau to the sweet music of our de-
servedly popular brass baud. Reaching
the outskirts of the village the band
slowed their instruments in a vehicle,
and the boys, separating into several
companies, were to be seen going
through lanes, INTO the prairie, now
over hills and through valleys, across
fields into the woods, where the giant
oak, monarch of the forest reigns su-
preme. Emerging from the woods we
found ourselves alongside of Bayou
Fusilier, whose pretty banks and wind
Ing curves afforded much to the pleas
antness of the walk.
Nine o'clock found us within !, quar-
ter of a mile from Arnaudyilie,~ where
we halted to allow those in the rear to
catch up. Then forming again into
ranks, with the eolors huttering in a
gentle breeze, and the band discoursing
mellow strains, greeted by crowds of
spectators and welcomed by the ringing
of the church bell, we made our solemn
entry into the nent little town, so agree
ably situated on the poetic Teche so
beautifully described by Longfellow, in
his vorld-famed Evangeline. Having
serenaded the worthy parish priest, we
were shown the thickly shaded sward
where we were TO pnrtake of our meal.
After q short visit to the church the
boys were given the liberty of the town.
being strictly eujoined however, by the
Wee. President, to be- Oh time for dinner:
our appetites baving been sharpened
by ah eight mile walk in the cool morn
ing air, we were sure not to fail the call
A splendid pot Of gumbo Ia Creole had
been prepared by "Tante Marie aud
the boys, In general, to show their ap-
prseiation of her good cooking, passed
their plates up two or three times.
Many other good things shared the fate
of the gumbo, and all arose with new
strength to renew their home journey.
After q few minutes repose we sere-
naded Mr.. Rogers, the worthy mayor,
MFR. Dario, who treated us so kindly,
and Mrs. Bernard, who in former years,
was foster mother of those who went
from Grand Coteau to offer the Holy
Sacrifices for the deyout Christians of our
beautiful prairies; thence we moved to
the church where the band played sew
eral sacred pieces and tbs boys sang the
soul-stirFing Magnifeat.
Yet short while were we to enjoy
the picturesque sight of the gently flow
ing Teche, when finally We wended eui
way homewards. Entering Grand Co.
teau as we had left in the morning with
banner nnfurled, and stepping to the
martial music of our harmonious band
We were soon within the walls of oul
dear Alma Mater.
The remembrance of this happy day
will forever remain stamped upon the
memory of our boys, as well also as the
kindheartedness of Father Desnoyelles
the unbounded generosity of Mr.. Durio
and the warm reception given us by the
whole.souled people of Arnaudville.
Yours truly, A STUDENT
Of St. Charles College.
