Nearly all animals may be taught 10
perform tricks said William Conrad,
the clown of Barnum's circus who
trained the little elephant Tom Thumb
to such perfection. For some time this
flock of geese to do many curious things
OF even a more surprising character
than Blitz ever taught his canary birds
to do, but just as / got them fairly
broken in and under way, they fell sick,
and nearly all died. As it was too late
in the season to break in another flock
and begin over again, l abandoned the
idea of the geese for this year and turned
my attention to breaking some other
animals. Nt
l am now putting a pig and monkey
through their finishing lessons, and will
have them both ready in time for our
opening, provided the monk lives.
Monkeys catch cold 50 easily that
generally when they have been taught
10 do tricks, they quietly turn up and go
where all consumptive monkeys go-tc
the taxidermist. The pig l have just
trained to perform the same things pre-
cisely as some of the fine-bred horses do
in the rings, called a'-manege act" The
pig, while ridden by the monkey viii
kneel, walk on its knees, waltz, leap
over hurdles and bars, rear up on its
hind legs, go through a series of high
stepping, posing, bowing-everything,
in fact, that is done by a horse, all the
time being guided by his rider, the
monkey. III ~ Waa uall
Next season / shall not only train a
flock OF geese but a large number Of
sheep also, and il 1 Jucceed with these 1
shall try some other kinds of animals,
for I believe with patience and kindness
any kind of gentle animal and bird, and
even snakes, may be taught to perform
tricks--New York Sun Interview.

One OF THE OLDEST MEN ALIVE.
The New Iberia Enterprise says:
There is still'living 10 this parish
one OF the oldest men in America,
or perhaps on the globe. He re-
sides near Weeks pasture. and
papers show that he was baptized
August 3lst, 17GO. and was a lad
l6 years old ut the date OF the
Declaration of American Inde-
pendence, and was admitted to his
first communion in ITS. His
name is Henry Myers, and the land
Of his nativity is Holland. His
documentary proofs are unques-
tionable, and were thoroughly ex-
amined by Mr.. Robert Brown, our
Assessor. who has kindly Furnish
ed us with the facts. 1t will thus
be seen that this venerable patri-
arch OF the past century is now l25
years and 3 months old.

The latest postal law decision is TO

REcIpE FOR MAKING BLACKBERRY
WINE.-Place in an earthen or tin
vessel any given quantity OF ripe
berries. Pour over them boiling
water till barely covered: let stand
over night; next day strain through
thick yellow homespun. To every
gallon OF juice add two pounds OF
sugar; stir well. Fill your demiiohn
to overlooking, so that as the
liquid ferments it will throw off all
scum and sediments. Have ready
in another vessel extra juice. which
must be used to refill The demijohn
daily. At the end of six or eight
weeks oil fermentation will cease.
Strain through flannel; add to each
gallon two tablespoonful of pound
ed rock candy. Bottle for use. and
always cork tight. The writer las
been making the above wine for Is
years and never hal failure.

CORRECT MANAGEMENT The p

Jake Jackson, colored, convicted
last February in the District Court
and sentenced to three months la
Dor on the public roads, and as
signed by the Police Jury to the
work OF leyeling and throwing up
tho sidewalk around the Court
house square. has nearly reached
the end OF his term OF public bond
age. Under the supervision Of
Capt. j. A. Norwood. Jake has
done his parish some valuable SER
vice, and is n living exemplifcation
of how much better, for oil con-
cerned, it is for the parish to derive
some benefit from the labor OF the
law-breaker. than for him to he

over to the tender mercies Of Maj.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

The election last Monday, for
Mayor and Aldermen, passed off
quietly, and the present officials.
who have served the corporation SO
faithfully for several years past,
were unanimously reelected, there
being no opposition ticket in the
field. This is highly significant,
and shows that our present Mayor
and Board of Aldermen have given
satisfaction to M eminent degree =
SO much so that it was considered
to he utterly useless to put up any
one in opposition to them. This
highly satisfactory state of affairs
and consequent lack OF opposition
accounts for the small number Of
votes that were polled. If there had
been all opposition ticket. then
the friends Of the present incum-
bents would have turned out in
force, and their opponents would
have met with a most signal and
disastrous defeat. The following
named citizens comprised the
ticket:
For Mayor-Dr. E. II. Randolph.
For Aldermen-E. Frederick. II.
j. Smith. Jules Pechon. Victor
blanche, Thos. Davis and James
Taylor.
The town Treasurer, Secretary
and Marshal are elected by the
Board of Aldermen, and no change
should be made in these officers.
Mr.. j. Caller has nude an efficient
Treasurer, and if lie will consent to
serve another term lie will doubt
less be reelected without opposi.
ton, and also Marshal Dulion.
The Secretary has performed his
arduous duties in a most efficient
and pains-taking manner. and we
are informed that he is willing to
retain the position during another
term. and he should therefore be
unanimously reelected. 1t is safe
to say the affairs Of the corporation
will be properly managed for the
next twelve months. judging by the
past record Of the present Mayor
and Board of Aldermen, and the
minor officers.

How closely tho affairs OF the
New Basin Canal and Shell Road
have been managed is indicated by
the excess of receipts over disburse-
ments, viz: $40 SO. Whenever
sufficient surplus accrues for the
purchase of a tow-boat (towing be-
ing the principal item Of profit and
