Gaaifeasv the Assassin.


A life-like wax statue of Guiteau. the
notorious assassin, has been executed
and is now on exhibition in w. w.
Coles great shows, which among many
other interesting things contains an
extensive gallery of wax statuary, casts
and portraits of all the Presidents of
the United States, from Washington
down to President Arthur. All the fl
nancial kings, popular politicians and
noted men of the day are also included
in the list. Jay Gould, W. II. Wander.
bilt, Blaine, Conkling, and many of the
crowned heads of Europe are represe Mt
ed in the list. Those who have seen
this vast collection Of prominent peo-
Pile as they appear in wax, pronounce
the models perfect counterparts of the
originals. Every feature, regularity of
dress and person being wildly repro
duced. The groupings arc numerous
and it is doubtful if a more perfect as
semblage Of notable people could be
seen in any of the foreign art galleries.
1t is perhaps we'll enough to mention
the fact that Coles New Colossal Shows
are to exhibit in Opelousas next
Tuesday the 4th, at which time and
place all the above will be seen.

This parish is against the administra-
ton, but the McEneryites are still hunt-
Jug. While they will not proclaim they
are for McEnery, for fear of destroying
their own chances for nomination by
the parish convention, or of becoming
delegates, il they do get to be delegates
to the State convention, they will there
show their true colors. No delegate
who votes for McEnery at Baton Rouge,
will truly represent the Democracy of
this parish. The proof OF the truth of
this statement is, that the McEneryites
that may be here do not publicly advo-
cate his nomination. But just let them
get to be delegates to Baton Rouge, and
their zeal for him there-if the political
wind shows that he is going to be nomi-
nated-would convince Gov. Nichols
himself that he has no friends in this
parish. No man can be Nichols man
and a McEnery man, from principle.
The thing is absolutely incompatible.
Nichols would have no confidence in
anyone, who professed to be for him,
and after him for McEnery. Those who
may proclaim for Nichols, in order to
leip McEnery, should not be trusted by
those who are against the administra-

The recent attempted bribery of the
Mansfield Herald into the support of S.
d. McEnery for Governor, is creating
considerable fuss. The same offer was
made TO the Chronicle two months ago,
and we published the fact at that time
supposing that those interested might
want to investigate for themselves, but
have not heard word as yet.
The offer was 5000 for the use of two
columns, to be devoted to publishing
such extracts as were favorable to Nc
Emery. We were not required to arrite
anything. We then charged that the
State papers were being bought up in
the interest OF the administration. II
any Of the McEneryites are anxious for
further particulars in this matter we
stand prepared to furnish them.-Col-

The interest OF the Magnolia Grove
School continues to increase. Almost
Daley fifteen girls and twenty EIGHT
bows answer to roll call. Is it possible
for one teacher to give that instruction
to forty three pupils which their wants
require The educator will unhesita-
tingly answer no.
The Hon. School Directory are not
responsible for this calamity. They
are not supplied with the means to
meet the wants of the children.
The Police Jury, and the State Leg
islature must shoulder this RESPONSE
bility, and answer to their constituents
for the vile neglect of their duty. Gen
tlemen, give the people in your exhibit
tons, more of the show, and less OF
your chin music, they will be more
likely to retain You in their circus.
From this section of the parish, there
are no dark deeds of the assassin to re
port no thrilling story of the proves
of a Robin Hood or a Dick Turpin, who
are proWling in the forests to awe the
candidates who are on mission OF
love to the people. Be it said, to the
honor of our Sheriff and excellent Judge
far better state of things exist.
The attention of many is directed to
the beating of eggs for culinary pur-
poses. Notwithstanding that the hens
are better cared for than usual, eggs
have advanced at least IS per cent.
The evergreens too, are loosing a part
of their foliage. This is not the work
Of Jack Frost or a Western cyclone
either.
But gentler spirits are in the field,
To whose enchanting spell the forest bends,
And yields its greanest leaf and brightest
flowers,
To deck the canopy of their cosy cots.

tor w. w. Coles Great Consolidated
Shows gets ten times the worth Of his
money, for every moment bursts with
novelties, glittering in all the splendors
that art can conceive, history suggest
or unlimited wealth buy. The chiefest

distinctly visible.
To-day are the ward elections for the
Democratic parish convention next
Thursday. Next Tuesday the jury term
of the district court begins, and on the
same day Coles circus will be here.
Court and circus willno doubt bring a
large crowd here, but there will hardly
be much business transacted in court

be as busy about the circus tent as bees
about an abandoned sugar hogshead. So
next week will be a big week in Ope-

there are several in this parish. Besides.

Judge B. A. Martel, who as Governor

the rings would not run him.

The performance of the beautiful opera
OF "lolanthe, or the Peer and the Peri. -
at the theater last night by juveniles
proved exceedingly successful in every
respect, and the audience, which was
iair In numbers, expressed much. salts
faction at the entertainment offered. The
scenic features Of the fairy scene in the
first act was especially admired, being
artistic and beautiful in the highest de-
gree. Besides the properties and wood
scenes of the theater a number OF ex.
quisite sylvan pictures used by
the Memphi several years ago were
utilized. and the Coordination
made most charming impression Then
too very handsome fountain erected ex.
pressly for the occasion at Considerable
outlay also contributed.to heighten the
attractive settings. A fascinating and
surprising feature in the fairy work of the
first act was the apparent descent from
clouds ola pretty little angel at the mo-
ment 1olanthe emerged from a huge pond
lily. The descending fairy was Jennie
Nelson, q sweet little rosebud who opened
her wings and few from aloIt, among her
sister fairies on the stage in mysterious
sort of way, and with the grace of perfect
sprlte, then she disappeared in mammoth
blythe huge flower closing up and hiding
her from sight just the same as flowers do
when real fairies hide among the bios
SONS. The part of Iolanthe by
Julia r. Hill, is mentioned as having been
admirably impersonated; while Blanche
Miles, as Phyllis, performed and sung ex-
quisitely. The musical gem of the even
ing was trio, in the second act between
Phyllis, Earl Tolloller (R. Belcher) and
Lord Montararat (James Thompson).
The Chancellor, as acted by Stewart Mar
able, was fantastic and artistic. The lad
made everybody laugh, and some were
struck with great fits of laughter-he was
recalled three different times. The entire
cast did good work, and there were ten
musicians in the orchestra, who performed
as smoothly as veterans always do. AS a
whole the opera was given without flaw
and in superior manner. 1t will be re-
peated tonight, and big house is as
sured. The last performance will be given
tn-morrow afternoon. Mrs O. II. Fits
has devoted close attention to the training
of her little fairies for the past eight weeks,
and her reward for the patient toll was
the fine success of this satire on the Eng
lish House Of Lords, "Iolanthe," by ju-
veniles.
