key and could not furnish us with a

the paper is half as charming as its fair

W. Nv. COLES GREAT EXHIBITION.
The largest Show Nov TraYeIing-NeW
and Novel Features Introduced in
the Circus Ring-seseral Great
Shows Consolidated Moth
ing on Earth To Match 1t.

The monster exhibition now owned
and managed by w. w. Cole, the most
enterprising of all the amusement man
ayers, is, without a shadow of doubt,
the grandest, largest and best combina-
ton of circus, menagerie, gallery of wax
statuary, bicycle college, amphitheatre,
Russian roller skaters, and museum,
ever placed before the public. The en-
tertainment offered is entirely new in
it's character and embraces no less than
eight distinct departments, any one, Of
which would comprise an ordinary ex-
hibition, and would far surpass the gen.
,eral run OF so-called circuses. An enor-
nous theatre stage is erected for the
purpose of producing acts and features
heretofore unseen with canvass shows.
Acts are presented simultaneously in
three rings, yet SO arranged that they
do not conflict or distract attention.
And, since it has become the fashionable
thing with this great show to present
gigantic efforts, Mr.. Cole has purchased
!" Samson" the largest Asiatic elephant
ever in America, or ever in captivity.
This huge monster is a marvellous noun
tain Of flesh and bone, whose tonnage is
almost, if not quite, equal to an ordinary
herd of elephants. His strength is also
Samsonian, and with no apparent effort
he lifts two heavy horses from the
ground at Il single surge. A grand gal
lery of wax statuary, representing all
the presidents of the United States,
men of mark, politicians, noted crimi-
nails and crowned heads, is also one of
the notable features. Real Bedouin
Arabs have been imported direct from
Palestine and Jerusalem to amaze
Americans by their lofty pyramids and
astounding deeds. A menagerie of wild
beasts, droyes of camels, winged fowls
and rare birds, loose led animals of
every kind Gagged and uncaged fero-
cious beasts are to be seen in prOfusiOn.
The stud of trained stations, perform
ing horses, ring Stock and prancing
ponies has been pronounced the most
wonderful display of horse flesh ever
brought together. The press through
out the land is universal in its praise Of
this marvellous show which now comes
to us more than ten times its former
size, and containing more new features
than could be enumeratedin column of
this journal. See advertisement.

From the Parishes.

Last week five prisoners broke out Of
the Lake Charles Jail.
The Calcasieu parish Democratic con-
vention will be held Dec. 13th-the par
isil sends seven delegates to the State
convention.
Rapides will hold mass-meeting
Dec. 10th, to select delegates to the
State convention.
Ogden is gaining popularity every day
in this parish, and in nearly all the par
ishes.-A Alexandria Town Talk.
Bossier parish will hold a mass-meet-
ing the first Monday in December, to
elect delegates to the Democratic State
convention, and will not nominate par
isb officers till next March.
Last week in St. Martins a colo1ed
woman went out to cook and left her
child locked up in her cabin, with a
fire. The cabin caught fire and burnt
the child to death.
The parish of Lafayette elected ward
u
delegates, by mass-meeting, last Satur-
day, to parish convention to be held
tot day, to elect delegates to the State
Democratic convention.
The Lafayette Advertiser reports that
Jules Boudreaux of that parish, made
this year, without any help, except to
pick the cotton, eight bales of cotton
averaging 535 pounds each, besides corn,
potatoes, etc. !; and that the cotton
brought in New Orleans, S3959O net.

Senator Marston will address the
people here on the 27th upon current po-
litical topics Of great interest to them
just at this moment. He is said by his
colleagues to be we'll posted upon State
finances, branch Of the public service
that ought to interest every taxpayer.
He will dwell particularly upon the
proposed constitutional amendment,
which, if it passes at the ensuing cleo
ton will impose an additional tax upon
the people, for many years, of about
one hundred and twenty thousand dol
lars annually, and which is just SO much
of the peoples money to be given away
to the bondholders. We say giuen,
GIVEN away, because the Supreme Court
of the United States has decided that
the debt settlement of the constitution
of 1870 is final and cannot be interfered
with by the Federal Courts.
Senator Marston has the courage to
speak his mind boldly about public
measures and consequently every arti-
fee of ridicule and sarcasm has been
leveled at him from his first appearance
in the Senate to the present time, but
the attempts to cry him down have all
failed, and lie is justly recognized to-
day as the champion Of the peoples in
terests against all monopolies rings and
|cliques.
Let our people turn out to hear
him, and if they do not agree with all
his propositions, they will surely be
instructed and refreshed by blunt add
straightforward address upon State
politics from a well-informed and fear
less speaker.

While hunting prairie chickens in
Calcasieu parish, about ten days ago,
dogs pointed, but no bird could be
flushed. It was an alligator eight feet
long, two hundred yards from water,
summing itself in the grass. It blew

and perfumed the air with the same
musk that SO many beaux and bellies
are SO fond Of using. Not being able
