The excitement claimed down dur
ing the morning, when it was learned
from one who is not a lineal descen-
dant of the great ornithologist, that it
was a whistle on board the steamer
Hornet, and that in Missouri they call
1.-THE mocking bird whistle ; and now
with the Hornet coming into the bayou
twice a week, with banners flying and
the music of the Missouri hooking bird
echoing over the cane fields, or poor
little songster will be forgotten.

Pull TOGETHER.

The press of this section is taking
a lively interest in the improvement Of
the bayou Lafourche. Our neighborly
contemporaries have been agitating the
question for some ame past and latter
ly the Times Democrat and Picayune
have taken upour cause and have been
pressing it vigorously on the attention
of Congress.
The SENTINEL has always advocated
the Improvement OF the bayou as it has
always championed whatever it has
deemed for the best interests of the
people. Some months ago, and again
lately, it counseled the appointment of
influential citizens to represent the in
@terests Of the Lafourche Valley before
the Rivers and Harbors Committee.
1t is pleased to see that the plan sag
gested has been adopted in part by the
steamboat and other interests who
have sent Mr.. Johc w. Bryant to lay
before the Committee the claims of
the bayou. He has made an able pre-
seEtation of his case, which we doubt
not will receive due consideration
from the committee.
But the planters and merchants of
Lafourche Valley must not remain sat
istied with Mr.. Bryant's effort. 1t may
take repeated endeavors to attain the
desired end. Concert of action is in
~dispensible. With Il Louisianian at
the head of the committee, the time
never was so propitious for obtaining
an appropriation for the opening of
the bayou.
Let us now pull and pull all together
and success is bound to crown our eff
forts.

THE MISSOURI HOOKING BIRD,

For many years considerable uneasi-
ness has been felt by the people of La
fourche on account of tho gradual but
steady decrease of the favorite song
stsr Of this parish, the gentle and innoc-
cent hooking bird, whose many-toned
voice is heard by day and in the still,
quiet hours of the night, in the boughs
of the trees that surround and shade
our houses.
To-day the uneasiness thus enter
tertained has somewhat subsidized, as
the decline of the gentle songster is
about to be supplied by new and more
sensational music, if a fair and squita-
bic Judgment can be formed from the
universal interest taken by the people
OF T%hibodaux and vicinity, without re-
gard to age, sex'or previous condition,
on it's first appearance.
Last Tuesday night, as the big town
clock sounded nine clear strokes as a
signal for all good people to retire in
peace and tranquility, a strange noise
was heard to echo about the gable end
of the dwellings, of innocent citizens.
This sound resembied that proceed
ing from a superannuated dog, who had
just discovered that he lost all his
earthly friends, and was giving final
vent to his sorrow in one long, dismal
note in B flat.
1t is estimated that 100 drowsy citi-
zens concluded their evenings prayer
by cursing their neighbours dog and
silently wishing he whole canine race
was i'll hades.
Again the doleful tune was raised
but in a much higher key and tapered
off in IL long, dismal note, that re-
minded n Of the dying scream of a
Rocky Mountain catamount whose
neither leg had been caught between
two mighty stones, from which there
was no escape.
The probability is that this last lu-
gubrious wall Of despair caused 500
me and women in Thibodaux to ask.
"What is it 7" rush to their doors and
peep into their yards, from whence
they were ready to swear by all the
gods and by every hair that was stand
ing straight UP on their heads, the
sound proceeded. Littl children
jumped out Of their beds and huddled
around their mama's knees, men rush
ed east and west women fastened
down the windows in their houses.
dogs howled as they did when Richard

the noise arose, longer and louder than
ever, and finally expired in an agoniz-
ing vail, more doleful than poet ever
dreamed of.
Then a few persons who had been
bold enough to venture on the street.
learned that it proceeded from a steam
boat descending the bayou for the first
time for 10! these many months.
On Wednesday mor1;ng, as the an
lucky wight, whose hunger forced him
to go to the public market, was hurry
ing along with the north wind whist
hing around his chin, he was met at
every other step with ). i.

These immigrants, who are from Kan
