Don't Forget the Excursion.

Let no one fail to avail himself of
the fine opportunity offered by the
coming excursion to OpelOusas to view
the beauties of the fair Teche country
and grandeur of the open prairies and
rolling country lying around Lafayette
and Opelousas.
Most Of our people have already
seer the country between here and
New Iberia, but few have gone beyond
the latter point. The route from New
Iberia to Opelousas will present many
novel sights to them. First comes the
beautiful Spanish Lake, u few miles
out from New iberia, whose placid
surface, fringed with green foliage
shimmers in the sunlight like y mir
ror of FURNISHED silver set in emerald.
Next the little village Of BrOussard-
Vile, surrounded by boundless fields
of corn and cotton, with here and
there green clumps Of trees, thrown in
majestic grandeur against the subdued
tints of the distant horizon. Then on
ward, you pass Lafayette, the pretty
town of flowers, with the mammoth
hotel, CarencrO, in the distance /; on
ward still, and the hills of Grand
Coteau loom up to view, reminding
one of some beautiful landscape paint
ing by one of the old masters; and on
j. ward still, over hill and down dale,
through a marvellous country, whore
the wide spreading oak and tho fra
grant magnolia tower in all their ma
jesty, until out in the open prairie,
nestled in a very bower of green trees,
you descry the fair Opelousas itself,
the home Of unbounded hospitality
and unrestrained cordially Do NOT
: fail to visit it.

There is an ordinance, we believe,
obliging proprietors to clear away the
grass growing on their sidewalks, but
there is no evidence that the ordinance
is enforced. The sidewalks, which
have been built Mt great expense by
the town, ought to be kept free from
grass. and we hope to see the town
authorities compelling %arutting own
ers to carry ont the provisions of the
law.

Why They Don't Marry.

We sent out few days since note
of inquiry to a number of bachelors in
the city asking them to give us. con-
tidentially and briefly for publication,
the reason why they never married.
Over one-half of them have answered,
and we give our readers some of the
causes assigned:
cam only As years old. Consider
myself too young.

''Some other fellow married the girl

made it lively for him.

woli fkc for less hours work and
mo- laaE recreation, they would find
large haeking and in this instance the
strikers would probably get what they
demanded Il it did nothing more,
however, would open The eyes Of the
parents and public generally TO the fact
that there are terrible abuses in this
line CHAT need reforming.
There has been a great deal of right
eous indignation over the suferings of
children in factories where they wear
their young lives out in unremitting
toll; in mines where they drag 'their
burden firing, through the coal-dark
underground in theaters, where childish
simplicity is sacrificed to the perform
ance Of tricks before the public in shows
where childish deformites are paraded
to fetch price; in cireuses, where
authority and brute strength, force
children to risk their lives, dangerously
balanced on the back of a horse or sus-
pended with unsteady hands on q
trapeze; indeed the public conscience is
getting rightly tender on many points
where children are concerned, but it
seems to be still quite callous where the
questions of school work, school venti-
lation, school association, etc are con
cerned Parents who are careful to see
that their children are properly dressed,
that they are carefully fed, that they
arc kept off the street at night, that
they are kept from contagious diseases,
are fearfully careless in regard to the
amount of work that is being forced
upon them and the kind Of air they are
breathing all day long.
If it is suggested that six studies are
too much for school boy or school girl.
The otherwise merciful parent says.
"Well there's no danger Of my children
hurting themselves studying It's Il
good thing that some children are lazy,
for if they all stndied as much as is
necessary to know their six lessons per-
fectly, there would not be healthy
child in the country. The lazy children
save the race.
In the report of the State Board Of
Health, Superintendent Anderson of
Milwaukee, furnishes the following
figures in regard to the excessive de-
mand the school makes on pupils. The
following table shows the hours of work
IN school, and out of school, and the
total hours Of mental work done bv the

which leay,s six and one-half hours for
sleep This i outrageous. 1t is not to
be supposed that the Milwaukee schools
are worse than any others. This is a
fair sample of what is demanded in all
city schools, and the village schools are
not far behind To keep a child at
physical labor eleven hours day would
be considered murderous, but such labor
wouldn't be SO injurious as this mental
strain. To expect child to do this
amount of studying and not get stopped
and hollow eyed,and languid and merry
Gus. If he or she does not break down
completely. is as foolish rs to expect a
plant to grow in dark cellar ard not

The pedagogues who try TO crowd 4
years work into term TO make it APP
pear that an immense deal is being done
ought to be called to an account. The fact
is nothing is being really done, though
good deal seems to be doing. What
is crammed into an oyer-strained brain
in eleven hours work day, isn't
crammed there to stay and few scholars
can stand the wear and tear They are
bound to become ruined physically if
not mentally. Mark Twain's article on
English as it is taught" is no exag-
geration, the questions and answers he
gives are authentic. and such instances
might be compiled BY anyone who is in
a position to get hold of examination
papers ia any school. Too many studies
are forced on children at once, and 1t
must always be at the expense of health

porters, each state probably has
a man she would like TO put in, if il
could be proved that he would be elected
But the fact of the matter is that the
Gresham boom is only one that has any
life in it. Plenty of other names are
suggested but they are clearly impossi-
bilities, and Gresham is being whoopcd
up loudly everywhere. The Ohio dele
cation will support Harrison because
they feel it their duty" but they will
support Gresham when Harrison's
chances fail However, if they don't
Gresham will receive ten or twelve
votes from Indiana on the first ballot
anyway. Wisconsin is strongly for
Gresham, believing that his nomination
means success for the Republican party.
Illinois is solid for Gresham. In Penn
sylyania there is strong admiration
for the man and the delegation from
that state is practically anti-Sherman
and ready to support the man who can
BE- elected. Gresham is favorably re-
garded IN all parts OF the country and
