A OhIistmss Poem.

On Christmas day, with one accord, We sing the praises of our Lord; Who came on earth the world to free Said Little children come to me" We come to-day with joyous glse, To gather fruits from the Christnas tree, And thank the donor. for their pGinsJ Wishing them all eternal gains. A mem'ry grows. like little rills Which gush from Ari,ona's hills' The nem'ry of this day will lszt. The sweetest joy of all the past. On Oceans far of sounding shore. When time and we shall be no more, The dove will seek It's mothers nest; And little childrens be at rest. On Gods eternal judgement day, The ktttle children all will play Around His throne with joyful glee, And gather fruits from the Christmas tree.

Do talk hopefully to your children of life and it possibilities; you have no right to depress them because you have suffered.
 Do teach both boys and girls the actual facts of life as soon as they are old enough to understand them, and give them a sense of responsibility without saddening them.
 Do, as your daughters grow up, teach them at least the true merits of housekeeping and cookery. They will thank you for it in later years, a great deal more than for accomplishments.
 Do try and sympathise wish girlish fights of fancy, even if they seem ab- surd to you. By doing so you retain your influence over them, and not teach them to seek sympathy else wAsre.
 D accour,se them 10 take good v,-llins exercise. Young ladies in tbis country are rarely goo3 walkers. They dance al night, but are al tired cat Ii they take mile walk Girls ought to be able to walk as easily ss boys, Half the nervous diseases which atlict young ladies would dis appear if the habit of regular exercise was encouraged.
 Do cultivate little imagination in your childeren; when they are small encourage them to enjoy fairy tales; as they grow older, lead Jhei.. tasters n the direction of imaginative litera- ture. Life in our century is too pro safe; give them teste for romance while they are young.

Editor Lake Charles Echo:
Crops are very good here, so far
This has been a great year for oats
Mr.. c. j. Caraway, one of Sugar
towns most enterprising farmers, says
he will harvest about 500 bushels
Of oats this year; besides good pros,
pect for corn and cotton. In this part
Of Rapides we have no cause for com,
plant,
The boys had some fun ont here
a few nights ago; they concluded to
give 'tBill Nc" scare, for which pur-
pose they went to his (Alc's) house, in
the dead hours of the night. Going in,
the boys caught Nc, and while drag
ging him from under tho bed, Mrs. Nc,
with an old AK, divided the head of
one of the party Nc. ran of to a
neighbor's (sbirtless.) The boys ran
of with the wounded man, leaving
Mrs. Nc. in possession of the field.
Moral! Some women can protect
their houses and husbands, too The
Doctor says the wounded man may
recover.
Mrs. Fnller is sorry the above froiic
terminated as it did, as it may enCour-
age your anclc to locate between bed
and floor, and leave her to WELD the

We are informed that the plans
and specifications for two handsome
buildings, for two of our enterprising
citizens, are now being prepared, and
in the near future ground will be
broken for their erection, and they
will be pushed forward TO a speedy
completion. Mr. Joseph Chavanne,
being one Of the 7enterprisIng citizens
referred to we are informed, will have
erected large two-story -bnilding,
with a handsome front finish, on his
vacant lot Oh Ryan street, between
his store and the bakery, which he
proposes to make an ornament to
Lake Charles. The other, Mrs Null
Ter, our enterprising Ryan street mil
liner, has engaged the services of Mr..
Armstrong, the architect, to prepare
plans for a handsome building which
she contempiates having built in the
near future. May the good work go
on, is the honest wish Of the Echo, until
our town shall be adorned with such
buildingsa as our commercial Importance
and daily increasing business demands.

This day week, Saturday, July 4th,
will be al, eventfnl day 10 the history
of Galcasieu parish, IS IL is IN the his
tory Of this great American Republic
On that day, in I7Te. just 100 years
age next Saturday, this fair land was
redeemed from the British yoke of
tyranny and declared by our forefathers
to be Atlc home Of the brave and the
land Of the free p and next Saturday
the good people of old Oalcasien will
have an opportunity 10 celebrate the
l0ath anniversary of this, the most
eventual day in the history of our
country, by joining hands with the
good people of Jennings in honoring
this day in a fitting manner, by the
first grand horticultural Exposition
of the products Of our parish ever at
tempted by our people.
We dare say that this Exhibition
will be of as great advantage to our
people and parish, in the way Of en-
couraging them in fruit growing and
diversified farming, as any movement
that cond have been inaugurated. On
that day, at this Grand Fair, will be
placed for public inspection the rari-
Gus products Of our soil, which will
demonstrate to the world that our
lands can be MADE as productive of
good results as that of Hany other sec
ton in the South, and we hope that
our people will fully appreciate this
fact and lend their aid and assistance
to make it complete success, for Ger
tainly it deserves to be, by their pres
ence, thereby encouraging its proJec-
tors to renewed enterprises, which in
the end will be the means of making
of Galcasieu what she really ought to
be--the banner parish of Louisiana

"BLAcK JACK" LOGAN, in speaking
Of the retention of Republicans in Of
fee under a Democratic administra-
ton, is reported TO have expressed
himself in the following logical Ian
guage 81 hope every Republican
who asks to be retained by this admin
istration will be turned ont Of Office.
i have received letter after letter from
Republicans in Office, urging me TO
exert myself to have them retained.
l shall not humiliate myself in that
way. / would rather help to get Re
publieans of that sort out. In fact, it
is strange to me that q Republican
would ask a Democratic administra-
ton TO keep him in Office. No Re
publican would ask Cleveland TO APP
point him, if be was out Of Office. A
petition for retention stands on the
same principle. 1t is virtually asking
a Democrat for an appointment. If a
Republican would not ask for an Office
be should not ask to be retained in
one. If be is holding an Office, and
is asked 10 remain, on account of his
faithful services, it is another thing,
In that case, he has right to accept,
but be is clearly wrong in asking 10
be retained"

60pelousas Courier: Local showers
have fallen il different portions Of the
parish during the past week, but IN
some places the drouth has been rather
protraeted and corn has suffered IN
those dry spots. If good showers fall
within the next few days, however,
heavy crops of corn viii yet be made.
With fcw exceptions, the cotton
crop is in fine condition, growing
rapidly, and promises to he the best
for several years past. The rice isre-
ported good where sufficient water
was stopped for irrigating the crop.

Thos. Hansen, aldermen.
Minutes of June j 18th and 18thwerc
read and approved.
]. c. Gibbs, Esq, Town Attorney,
being called upon and requested to
give his opinion relative to the legal
ity of closing saloons and business
houses on Sundays, as expressed by a
vote Of the people at an election held
June ! 1885, submitted the following
opinion, which, on motion, was adopt
ed, and ordered spread upon the min
utes, and the said election ignored, as
the Town Council has no right to en-
force the same:
To the Honorable Mayor and Town Council
of Lake Charles:
On the question of adopting an or
dinance to prohibit or regulate the sale
of intoxicating liquors and merehan-
disc on Sundays, submitted for an
opinion.
The question has been, fortlIe pres
ent, settled by decision of the Su-
preme Court, dated May, ls8l.-(33
a. 98l.) The case reviewed is not
the same as the one submitted, bnt
the principles then announced would,
on application, defeat any ordinance
passed by a corporation OF this sub
iect, and arc briefly stated, these:
The selling Of merchandise and
spirituous liquors are legitimate trans
actions, and are licensed as such by
the State. The exercise of these rights
on Sundays is as lawful as on other
days, and thus they will remain until
prohibited by the State and apenalty
for their violation fixed.
Political corporations have only po-
lice supervision over these callings,
the power to keep order, preserve
cleanliness, ETC., etc, but the right to
prohibit their exercise on any particu-
lar day is far greater power and is
lodged in the State alone.
The decision of the Supreme Court
above referred to is made the basis of
this opinion, becausc appeals from
your ordinances will be at presently
reviewed by the same Judges, and for
this reason is not necessary to notice
other decisions, (26 A. 6Tl-3l A.
GG3), although not reconcilabIc with
the opinion herein expressed.
1t is therefore submitted that the
Town Council cannot prohibit Or re-
strain the exercise of these callings on
any particular day, or invoke the aid
of Court of sufficient jurisdiction to
inflict a penalty that would command
respect or enforce obedience.
Respectfully submitted,
j. {. GIBBS, Town Atty.
Before this Board appeared Al. j.

scented his account as Treasurer, show

gate, to S532 Sc, leaving balance of
cash on hand of S638.09, which, on
motion, was accepted and above war
rants destroyed.
On motion, the report of the Cor
pOration Tax Collector was received,
and the Town Treasurer and Town
Collector are hereby relieved from all
responsibility.
On motion, the license on all hotels,
for the year 1885, is hereby reduced
to one.half that of the State.

TITS a noticeable fact that when mon

increases"
