The Earthquake at Charleston.

A special from Charleston, 5. c.,
of the 1st, to the New. Orleans
Piicoyune, gives the description Of q
terrible earthquake which took
place there on the night previous.
The whole city was shaken violently,
causing a heavy loss of lie, aud
doing immense damage 20 property.
Forty persons are reported killed
and one hundred wounded. The
loss of property is estimated at
ten million dollars. The city OF
Charleston is one mass Of wreck.
The streets are completely block,
AIDED with debris and ruined houses,
telegraph poles and wires. Vehicles
of any kind can rot be driven
through.tte streets, while pcdesiri-
anism is both dangerous and diff.
cult. The approach of the "quake'
was heralded by the usual rnmbling
sound, resembling distant thunder,
then it gradually approached.
Scarcely one hundred houses in the
city are occupied at this time, the
people being encamped in the open
places. All the stores are closed
and a scarcity Of provisions Is
feared, not, for want Of provisions,
but because ,no one can be got to
open the stores to sell them. The
city is literally in ruins, and there
are not a half dozen tents in TIE
city, the women and children are
experiencing great privations in
consequence. Thedead were laid
in the open air. The wounded were
provided with temporary pallets in
the lawns or on the streets, and
every one waited patiently for the
coming dawn, which would at least
Tighten the horrors of the occasion.
The scene was terrible, the suffering
and destruction of property great,
the gloom and sadness thus cast over
a quiet and peaceful community so
suddenly while many were resting
in sweet and quiet slumbers, proba-
bly, unprepared for the next world,
was appalling indeed.

The Pioneer of Assumption Of the
2Sth ultimo says that j. G.. Blaine,
Of Maine, an aspirant for p~residen.
tial honors, will open the campaign
in a few days and take an active
part in the congressional elections
of his State. There is no doubt as
to the majority in that State, but it
is important for his interest that the
majority should be large. At pres
cnt it looks pretty much as if Blaine
was destined to lead the Republican
force in the next presidential cleo
ton. He hopes to reverse the ma.
jority given against him at the last
election" Unless some radical
changes are speedily made in the
ranks Of what is now called the
Democratic party in power in this
State, we fear many good voters will
either he forced to coalesce with the
opposition party, Or not vote at al
at the approaching State and presi
dental elections ; and in either case
1t would have the tendency to give
the State Of Louisiana over to the
Republican party at the next gen
eral election.

The New iberia Enterprise of last
date gives us a very pleasant para.
graph 10 read when it mentions the
fact that, meeting Mr.. JOS. Bodin,
of Petite Anse last Sunday, we
learned from him that quite a num-
Der of the citizens along the Able.
vile road had showed their willing
ness to do road duty, and that every
day last week there had been an
average of about twelve men at
work. daily, and that the entire
route, to Grand Marais, is being put
in good condition, under the super.
vision of Mr.. Demas Miguel" We
intend agitating this road question
until we get a good enc to strike
som1 point on the New Orleans and
Texas railroad. We regret to state
that the Lafayette Advertiser, repre-
senting one of the most hourishing
and promising inland towns in the
State Of Louisiana, seems to be very
sleepy headed on this subject. We
are sadly in need Of good roads, and
it is to the interest of New Iberia,
Lafayette and Rayne to see that we
have them, and that at once.

Eggs by Weight.

1t is annoying to the breeder OF
blooded and fine fowls to find when
he offers for sale eggs nearly twice
as large as his neighbors, that they
bring no more per dozen than do
the smaller ones. Also, the consn-
mer is often vexed to find that he
must pay the same price today for
a dozen of eggs weighing a pound
that he yesterday paid for a dozen
weighinga pound and a half. Be-
sides an egg from a well fed fowl
is heavier and richer than one from
acommon fowl that is only half fed,
so that weight compared to size is
an indication of richness. Thus,
eggs Of which eight will weigh a
pound are richer and better than
those Of apparently the same size
Of which ten are required for a
pound. OF course with eggs at
four and FIVE cents a dozen land
hundreds Of dozens have been sold
in past years at these figures, it is not
much matter as to the size; but when
the price ranges from twenty-five to
fifty cents a dozen, it is a matter
worth looking after. 1t is high time
that this old style Of selling and
brying eggs is discontinued. 1t is a
relic of the past and reminds US of
the time when dressed hogs were
sold for a dollar each, without re-
gard to size, and were dull sale al
that. Insist upon it then, you who
raise poultry and eggs for market,
that the price of eggs shall be SO
much per pound, and then it will
be some inducement to farmers to
raise a better class Of fowls and all
will get their just due.

!iogIy lis TO the propose2 creation CT.
the new parish Of Acadia. The
Cyuri1f, iii defence Of its position,
makes the following pertinent and
well applied remarks
The argument Of our esteemed
contemporary, the Democrat, to show
that tile division Of the parish will
make st. Landry Republican will
not hold water. The defeat Of one
Of the Democratic nominees fer the
house and the election Of another
by the small majority of38l in 1884
only proves thar q considerable
number OF Democrats failed 10 vote
for them, after having participated
in the primaries and il the conVen'
ton. This is rot The 6rst time that
q Democratic nominee has been
defeated in 81. Landry and may
not Re the last. even if the parish Is
not divided; and vet cur Democratic
majoritiee for State and National
candidates have usually mounted
into the thousands. At the same
election, in 1884, Gov. McEnery
had a majority of 1865, and every
body knows he did not get all the
Democ, attic votes. Senator Fontenot
got over 1000 more than he at that
election. aud we have never heard
it stated that he had received any
considerable namber OF Republican
votes. No, there are lots Of. Demo,
Gratis ia st. Landry. Especially
since the party las gained control
of the State and National govern
ments. the woods are full Of them"
All that is necessary to assnr
Democratic success all along the
line is to weld them into a solid,
compact organization; and to do
that all irregular methods, all
infractions of party rules. usages,
customcs and discipline must be
frowned down and discountenanced.
In addition to the above the
Rayae Sigacy, in the following
paragraph, fully coroborates the SEN
timent and wishes of the citizens Of
that section of St. Landry parish:
1t seems to be the general sen
ii ment oftlle people of this section
tina a diyision'o OF the parish would
result III a great good to all interests.
We have no doubt of it. The slight
increase in taxation which might
result from such a course would
more than Offset by the increase ia
value Of all real estate. The Sums
of money spent by our people at the
parish seat during their numerous
trips throughout the year, amount
to quite a AK. Aside from this, the
loss Of time ia making the trip is
considerable. Opeleusas is thirty
miles from Rayne, about fifty miles
from the Mermentau, and nearly six
ty from Lake Arthur, by roads. Dur.
ing the last ten days a number Of
our citizens lave been compelled to
make two trips 10 court, and are
required to make another, because
the trial in which they must appear
is continued from time to time.
The Democratic party in Opelou-
sas seems to he getting too strong
for itself, if we are to judge from
what we read in some Of our ez-
changes. The idea OF having two
Democratic Executive Committees
is more, we think, than one parish
can we'll afford. We should be
cautious in our deliberations and act
in unity if we wish to maintain the
present politioa! position we strag-
gled so long and so hard 70 attain.

distance of about 500 miles. 1t is
promised that every mile of the road will
do paying business after the completion
OF the first six miles to Union bay, on
Lake Washington. The road is said to
run through rich timber and agricul-

be proud. Its churches are large and
beautiful, and what is better sound
gospel is proclaimed in them. In the
morning we attended St. Peters and
in the evening the Central Presbyterian
church. A feature Of the service in the
evening was the fine singing by mixed

NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y, July 10
We lett Rochester this morning and
arrived here at noon. This afternoon
we have been seeing the sights of this
wonderful place. Our first view of the
| Falls was at Prospect Point on the
| American side We then took sail on
the river below the Falls on little
steamer "Maid of the Mist" The spray
from the Falls was like a dashing rain
storm. Rubber suits prevented US from
becoming drenched. The view was mag
nifcent. We then went to Goat Island
Luna Island aud the Sister Islands
Here we get fine view of the rapid:
above the Falls. From there we went
to Whirlpool rapids, two miles down the
river. This is one of the grandest of al
the views. The river, at this point, il
comparatively narrow, and the imncns,
body Of water washing through these
narrows produces continual seethng
boiling torrent. The famous Englisl
swimmer, Captain Webb, in attempting
to swim these rapids, lost his life July
"a, 1888. Recently man by the nam'
of Graham accomplished the feat in
barrel made by himself for that purpose
We start westward again this evening
We expect to spend next Sabbath a
Spokane Falls, and after remaining ther,
a few days to visit my wiIe's sister, W,
proceed to Lewiston. Yours Truly.
