A Worthy Act.

Absence from IllOO0a0x when the
lamentable occurrence took place,
by which Mrs. Steinhouse was
badly burned, some two weeks ago,
causes US TO render the present trib
ute to \ heroic deed.
1t seems that 1T about Z o'clock
in the morning, Mrs. Steinhouse
was in her yard with u lighted char
coal furnace. BY some means the
back of her dress took fire, which
on pe1ceiving, caused her to rush
into her house to get a blanket to
smother the fame. At the same
time she pulled her children out OF
the bed, who ran to the Goor and
raised the alarm.
Mr.. A.io!phe Hoffmann, who was
accidentally passing on the oppo
site side OF the street heard the
noise, and perceiy,ng smoke issuing
from the windows rushed across
the street, aud telling some one in
sight to cry, .'fre,' jumped over the
iron fence, and raj into the house
where he found the unfortunate
woman on the floor in Il room full
OF smoke CAUSED by the burning
bed clothes, that had caught from
her dress.
Mr.. Hoffman, immediately pro
cppded to tear Oft tho burning clio
thes. aud assisting her as best he
could until som. neighboring Ia
dies came, when he placed the suit
frliug woman in their care, and
proceeded to assist in putting out
the fire. MeS>rs Valsin Guillot and
Il. A. Frost had by this time enter
ed the house, and had the fire in
sut,j"gation.
The ACCOMPLISHMENTS the fife
engines to the rescue, but their ser
vices were, fortunately, uot requir
ed.
Mr.. Hoffman, was slightly burn
, ed Oh the ends of the fingers bu,
not enough to cause any materia'
pain,
Mrs. S,eiahonse is painfully bur!
ed but, it is not thought, seriousl,
injured. She is still suffering ant
it will he some time before she vii
be entirely recovered. Her si'
ter aud niece, from Morgan City
Mrs. and Miss Conklin, have beef

A FORTUNATE ENTERPRISE,

NAcSSTS. 1aeaO u 0C0OelOof nave
sent US a block Of ice, frozen il
their new ice machine, in which
was frozen a fine bouquet.
This specimen Of their manufac
ture Was clear, solid ami showed
IA positive evidence of the abiIity
to accomplish the object for which
the machine was erected. The ma
chine is Capable of congealing from
three to five ,onS per "a hours easi
~, which will b. sufficient for the
local trade Of this vicinity.
The machine which they have
built is the "Rankin Machine, bni.'
10y the Reading lion Works, 25a
Fourth street, Philadelphia"
Mr.. Rankin, tne inventor, had
this machine in Operation 1T the Il,
position, in New Orleans. where it
maintained the coa~ting track
that gave So much pleasure to those
who wished 10 amu>e themselves
thereon.
Mrs>rs. Raglan & Schneider are
delighted with their purchase, see
ing that everything works SO Salts
fac,oriIy.
Ii has reduced the temperature
to 4 degrees below zero by which
ice is made very rapidly, more
SPEEDILY than the ploprietors desire
at present.
The pr"prietors are selling their
ice, in blocks, AS they are frozen,
weighing from 100 To l25 pounds
at Is cents per 100 pounds ; small
er quantities are retailed at ont
cent per pound.
Ice is a luxury and during the
summer months here. is almost =
sanitary necessity, and We hope
that this enterprise may prove I
financial success, OF sufficient
strength 10 insure its permanent
working.
The simplicity of the apparatu.
is so great that it requires no grea
skill to operate it /; and If any ms
chinecan he made financ;a lIy pro
ptrons, this one should fill the bill
Ii will also furnish employment
for sevtra; persons who need work
and will thus benefit the town.
Every one who uses ice ought tt
encourage THIS enterprise by pa
chasing their supplies at this man,
factory.
Another great advantage to b
had is found in the fact thai tn
ice contains the fullweight paid fol
whilst. that shipped f'om New q
leans always loses in weight III til
transit.

On Monday June s the Teachers
Institute will meet in this town.
The large Firemen's Hall has been
generously donated by the Hall
com mittee for the place of meeting.
This will furnish an abundance OF
space SO that there will be ample
room for all teachers and visitors
without crowding.
From information obtained it is
believed that there will be a gener
al attendance of all teachers in this
Parish, and a good attendance from
Ascension, Assumption and Terre
bOnne.
The teachers of this vicinity vii!
see all the visiting teachers will have
accommodations, at fair and reason
able prices, and also take pleasure
in showing them the varied sights
in Thibodaux and vicinity.

This month will put q terminus
to rear'y all the public schools III
the Parish after a session of five
months.
1t would be a great relief to the
Southern people, if the Education
al bill could he put through the ap
preaching Congress.
The assistance thus given would
enable the people, at least in Parish
es like Lafonrche, that try to keep
up free schools, 10 establish first
class schools, tor the future. during
ten months in the year
Education is the great want of
the people who are nov growing
up, to assume charge of the govern
mcnt in the future.
Ii is an impoS~ibiity to maintain
public tree schools in a parish like
L%rfunrche, whose population Is scat
tered over so great an extent Q
territory, unless outside assistance
be obtained.
Hence. under existing, circumstan
ces, the youth OF the poor, must
grow up without an opportunity to
acquire al education to enable
them to battle With the world.

Treatment OF Wounds.

Mr.. Henry Hooper called this

facts that will astonish many. and
will at the same time, beyond all
caviI, establish the advancement
made in the treatment of wounds
by the aid of "antiseptics.' Mr..
Hooper, on the Goth Of May, had
his arm cut half off by \ circular
saw. He placed himself under the
treatment practiced by DIR. Tiche

accomplished to date show clearly
that the doctor is proving what he
claims for his Antiseptic Rrtrigrr

his regular meals, and has walked
to any point OF place he desired

BELLEVUE, La, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27 1885,

If she feels within herself the spirit of
both hero and martyr. she may venture
to assume this cross, hoping for the
crown that in the end awaits faithful
endeayor and pious sacrifice. 1t may
be given to her to perform that miracle
possible but to few step-mothers-to
win the entire love and confidence Of
the children confided to her care.
When she, too. lies beneath the sod,
they may cherish her memory as that of a
ministering angel who came to them in
life's sorest need and desolation to re-
place the angel they had lost. And
when light lips profane the name of
step-motba-, these step-children, bur-
dened yet with an unpaid debt of affec-
ton and gratitude, may attest that next
to the name of own mother it is the
most sacred word on earth.-FrGncis
