This discovery knocks Mr.. Boutelle's
mares nest galley-west, and shows to
what straits some of the ultra-R -Republi-
cans are driven in their anxiety to manu-
facture political capital by appealing to
sectional prejudice. There was no excuse
for the blunder Mr.. Boutelle made, and
he well deserves the unmerciful scoring
he is now receiving by the Democratic
press of the East and South for making
such a donkey of himself.

exacting for my taste. want no improper

Mrs. Mary X. Lastrapes. daughter OF
the late Judge John E. King, left here
on Friday last week for Keachi Bap-
list College, where she has been en-
ployed for the ensuing year as teacher
of music. She was engaged in the
same business here for several years.
But before she ever taught music, she
had local reputation as a performer
on the piano, that has never been ex-
celled, if equalled, by any other, either
resident or visiting. We are no judge
of music as science; and therefore
our knowledge Of Mrs. Lastrapes'
wonderful musical talents and acquire
ments, comes from those who are con-
sidered competent to judge. We heard
a gentleman remark several years ago,
that she was without doubt the best
performer on the piano, in the parish.
1t is said that she can read, and exc
cute, the most difficult pieces of music,
the moment they are presented to her,
without any previous practice. The
Keachi Baptist College will probably
learn that it lras secured treasure as
a music teacher.

Samuel P. Clark, a native Of Zanes-
Vile, Ohio, whose death here we an
nounced last week, at the age of 50
years, came to Louisiana in 1S49, and
to Opelousas in 1850, and begun work as
a wheelwright in Joseph Gibbs car
rage shop. In 1858 he and Mr.. Gibbs
became partners under the title of
Gibbs g. Clark, and continued so till
the war. Afterwards, he carried on
the business in his own name, till about
two years ago, when he quit business
on account of feeble health, and went
North. After several months he re-
turned, as the climate there was too
cold for his debiIitated condition. He
gradually declined till death resulted.
He was very quiet, unobtrusive man,
and mingled very little with others !;
but he was much respected by all. He
was good citizen, and a good man.
He was never married.
