PRESERVE THE ARCHIVES.

PRESERV We THE ARCHIVES.
There is a great mass of original
acts in the Recorders Office, running
back for a number of years, lying
loose and unbound. These originals
relate to the titles Of real estate in our
parish and to real rights affecting such
estates. The public at large has a vi
tai interest in their preservation, fol-
they affect indirectly when not direct
~ almost every man, woman and child
in the parish, as we'll as many residing
beyond its limits.
1t is true that there is a record in
the Office of every original affecting
real estate therein deposited and that,
for ordinary purposes, this record an
swers in lien of the original ; but ca
ses may, and do, arise where the abso-
lutte verify of that record is questioned
and it becomes necessary to consult
the original to determine the issue.
Moreover when copies are needed, they
must be made from the original.
Signatures may be denied and it may
absolutely be ecessary, in some in
stances, to compa re the signatures of
the original with acknowledged sig
natures of the parties to decide the
genuineness of the former
The careful preservation of these
original records, affecting as they do,
title to a large proportion of the es-
tates of our parish, is therefore of the
utmost Importance. Prior to 1851 or
1852 the original acts were written
and signed in the books of record
themselves, and are therefore secure
as long as these last. For four OF five
years after this date the original acts,
written and executed on separate
sheets of paper as now and recorded,
have been carefully bound by years
and are well preserved.
Since that period they have never
been bound but have been stored
away by years, loose. We believe
that proper ARE has been taken of
them, and that the keepers of these
archives have always been faithful to
their duty. Still, Notwithstanding their
vigilance, it has come to our observa-
ton that some of these originals can
not be readily found when wanted.
Some have been lost or mislaid, for it
is hardly probable that they have lur-
posely, been distracted. In their pres
emit loose condition they can easily be
lost OF mislaid. If mislaid, it would |
be almost like looking for a needle in
. haystack to have to go into the loose
records of a quarter of a century.
A remedy has been proposed by the
last grand jury. They recommend to
the Police Jury the taking Of the ne
cessary measures to have these origi-
nails substantially bound by years.
We believe this to be a wise recon-
mendation and we trust the Police
Jury will act upon it Mt an early date.
We are informed that Ascension and
Assumption have already taken the
initiative in this matter. Lafourche
ought not to lag.

Gov. Hill is said to be engaged to
be married, i'll spite of his numerous
denials, public and private. The
news was first given out in Albany a
week ago last Monday on the report
ed authority Of the girls father. but
the Governor denied it so emphatical-
~ that, out of consideration for his
feelings and the young lady's, some of
the correspondents let it pass unnotic-
ed. But now comes the official an
nouncement that the engagement has
been formally given out in the young
woman's family. She is a Miss Hotch-
kiss, of Elmira. Her father is a
Democrat, and is at present CONNER
cIal agent at Ottawa. Canada. TO
which post he was appointed by
President Cleveland on April %.
1885. He was formerly a successful
lumber dealer in Chemung county.
but business reverses drove him into
politics. His daughter, who has
pishted her troth to Gov. Hill, is
twenty-three years OF age. She is a
tall brunette, we'll educated and ac-
complished. She attended the Gov
ernor's first reception in February,
and attracted considerable attention
then by the grace of her person and
the charm OF her manner. 1t was
soon after this that the news of her
engagement became known. When
the wedding will take place is a mat
ter for the future and the young lady
to decide.

1t is a question, as to whether since
the deadly remedy has been invented
Or first compounded, mo. c rodents or
people have been killed by "Rouch
on Rats" The head of n Georgia
family, two days ago, put the poison
in his cOrncrib to get rid of the rats.
These vermin didn't take to the pre-
scription kindly, and subsequently
the corn was ground into meal for
family consumption. The result is
that seven persons were lying at the
point of death, according to the latest
information from GAINESVILLE, Ca,
the scene of the mistake. The COM
pound is about a tragic in its effects
as the usually "unloaded" gun, and
the best way to stop its ravages would
be for the law to prohibit its sale any
where or to anybody.

Whether Mr.. Halstead's rejection
was justifiable or not, his case calls
for NO especial sympathy. A man can
live without an Office. 1t does not
follow that, because a man has been
an efficient and Jealous worker for
his party, he is entitled to an appoint
ment as soon as the party comes into
power. 1t should be assumed that his
fidelity and services as a partisan re-
suited from more patriotic motives

The town of Thibodaux is q pretty
and attractive one, and its hospitable
citizens are busily engaged in making
arrangements to receive and agreeably
entertain the State Press Association
who will hold their annual meeting
there next month. Surely these are in
ducements sufficient to insure a large
attendance ; but there comes Bro. jolly,
OF the Morgan City Recier, with an
Item that will set the whole fraternity
agog and d%epopulate every printingof +
fice in the State, for the clock he refers
to has cut a prominent figure in jour-
nallstic circles ever since the Lake
Charles meeting in 1887, when by it's
powerful assistance our friend Mai.
Grisamore came very near depriving
Opelousas Of the pleasure of entertain
ing the Association last year ; and the
desire to see it, and particularly to
hear it, especially after it has been
taught "the universal language" will
prove irresistible. The Reriew saws :
"Uncle Silas" Grisamore is in full

strikes in nine different languages,
and is having it oiled up and instruct
ed i'll VOlapuk for the Press Associa-

to honorary membership in the Associ-
alton ; and if Bro. jolly will second

WINDOW GLASS MANuFAcTuREaRs.
Meeting in Washington OF Interest to
pennAylvanfans.

WAsHfN.roy, Jan. 17.-The Window
1iass Mana acturers' associations began their
seml'annual nesting at the Riggs house.
r IA Bodinc, Of Philadelphia, the president,
was IN the chair, and O. Il. Frazee, Of Cam
estosa, Ia, was the secretary. There were
some some forty members present, mainly from
Fittsourg. The object Of the meeting is to
present their views on tho tariff to the SEN
ate finance committee After two hours
secret session it was decided that the price
OF glass would have TO come down. FOREIGN
glass blowers, the members claimed are
sending glass over cheaper and chee..ar
every year. and the American manuts,,,.
urers will have TO reducs their prices. The
manufacturers deny that they oontemplata
the formation OF pool or trust, and also
say that the question Of wages was not
touched upon in the discussion. The most
conservative members thought that the
prices would have to be reduced or competl-
tion with foreign glass blowers would be out
Of the question. The association adjourned
TO meet again in July next
The new schedule OF rates was not ar
ranged, but it is understood that it vii
surely be lower than that now prevailing.
