A few weeks ago two tramps, tailori

rogues in reality, applied to Mr.. Elk
land, the well-known taller of Maiu

were evidently hard up, and Mr.. Ek-

however. the business place of Mr.. Tx
land was burglarised, and pair of tail

was placed in the hands OF Policeman

seemed to be in the possession of'plenty
of money and were setting up those

THE DRAMA.
The Boys of the Second Ward
Again to the Front.

In spite of the inclemency of the
weather on Thursday evening, q full
house greeted the Second Ward
Dramatic corps, when thee drtain rose
to the play of The Ticket of Leave
Man. Tom Taylor's masterpiece is too
well known to need any de cription Of
the plot, it being sufficient ia say that,
with the exception of one or two pail
pable slips, almost inherent in, all
amateur performances, the interest
never tagged, and the piece ran its
course to the end in nice, smooth
manner that reflected credit o, all con,
cerned. The characters are numerous,
there being nine males and three
females engaged, and it is only fair
to state that the ladies occupied
the "pride OF place" during the even
ing. 1t must not be understood by this,
however, that the gentlemen engaged
were behind hand. but rather that the.
ladies were well i'll front. Miss Lizzie
Ensign's May Edward was, splendid
conception of the authors intention,
and her impersonation of the character
never Jagged nor lost the sympathies of
the audience for minute. The char
acter of Mrs. Willoughby was entrusted
to Miss Lizzie Thomas. aud here again
the young lady exhibited talent rarely
to be seen of the regular boards. Mis-,
Mamie McQHarrie played Emily ST.
Everemond in a lady-like manner of
the male character. Bob Briefly

No Quarantine.

The following special appeared in the
Times Democrat of the 25th. inst. 1.-The
Town Council held meeting to-day for
the purpose of considering the advisable
lity of establishing a quarantine here,
and resolutions favorable to the measure
were adopted" The above is an error
on the part of the paper rs on infOrma-
tiOn we found that no special was sent
from here To that effect, and no action
was taken by the Town Council con-
corning quarantine.
Thus far we see no necessity of esta-
blishing any quarantine rs every point
of entrance to the State is strictly qua
rantined against all infected places,
therefore we run no risk whatever of the
disease being introduced among us. 1t
is the duty, however, of the authorities to
keep themselves well informed on the
subject and if it becomes necessary, then
to protect the town from infection. We
are in safety in the hands Of our authori.
ties, and we fear nothing.

Thursday one hundred and fifty four

be engraved in their hearts as the hap
piest Of their life. and their memory in

life will be there los, will very often fly
back to that happy day when their little
souls were made as white as snow; and in
their trials, will know by the assistance

get the woes OF life, and will again seek
their consolation in praying for the
blessings Of the healer of all sOres-the
Savior
Besides the first cOmmunionsa large
number of children renewed their first
communion, and many parents whose
hearts swelled with pleasure at seeing
their dear little ones receiving under
such favorable circumstances, their first
communion, which hereafter will make
Them good and useful members Of the
Catholic Church, pertOok to the Holy Re
past.
The ceremonies were grand, brilliant
and imposing and were conducted By
Revs. A. B. Langlois and P. ]. Healy with
the assistance of Revs. Raymond Of Opel

The good Sisters of Mercy deserve the
praises and thanks of our people for their
trouble of watching over the children.
The good order which prevailed in the
church during the ceremonies with a
church crowded TO its utmost, is due to
the energy Of the good Sisters.

1t seems that in our mother parish, st.
Landry, where reform so strongly pre-
walls, aud where there has been complete
change in the administrat on OF affairs
both district and parOchill, lawlessness
and disorder have taken possession aud
are running rite over the land. Besides
the killing of the negro at Arnandvilie
and those in the custody Of the deputy
sheriff, we see from the Picayune Of the
18th inst, that on the night Of the 18th
crowd Of armed men rode to the house
of two negroes in the vicinity Of Vile
Platte and after leading them short
distance riddled them with buckshOt,
killing both instantly. II this Is reform
we want none Of 1t in ours. We venture
to say that within the last four months
there has been more lawleesness and
crime committed In the parish of st.
Landry than there has been In 80 many
years previous to the Inauguration Of
the reform government. In this state
Of affairs we fail to see the advantage in
the change from ring rule to reform,
We condemn most strenuOuslv such
acts Of lawleesness as have been commit
ted In the localities mentioned Of late.
