Dr. William A. Robertson.

DIR. w. A. Robertson died on his plan :
tation near Washington, last Saturday
night, Oct. 26, aged about So years He
was for number of years very promi
nent in our parish and State politics,
and at one time was acting Lieutenant
Governor of the State. He was born
in Connecticut, but came to Louisiana
before reaching monllood's estate, and
studied both law and medicine at the
University of Louisiana in 1858, gradu-
ating in medicine and being admitted
to the practice of law by the Supreme
Court.
At the breaking out of the war, in
1861, DR.. Robertson entered the Con-
federate service and went to Virginia.
where lie rendered signal services as n
surgeon, and later was appointed med
ical director for Louisiana and Texas.
At the end of the war he resumed his
residence in our parish. and soon be-
came interested in politics and took an
earnest part in the movement to rescue
the State from Republican rule. He
was elected clerk OF the District Court
in 1872, and in 1874 was elected to the
State Senate and became one of the
leading members of that body. In 1879
he was member of the convention
which framed the present State Consti-
tuition, and he was again elected to the
Senate, being at one time president pro
tenn. of that body and acting Lieutenanf
Governor.
When his term ended, in 1884, DR..
Robertson dropped out of active poll
tics. devoting himself to farming and
stock-raising on bis model farm near
Washington. His remaius were taken
to New Orleans where llley we're inter
red on Monday evening ifl the tomb of
the Association of the Army Of Northern
Virginia.

The Sixth Anniversary Ball Of the
0pelousas Social Club.

AS has been the custom during for
mer years, the Opelousas Social Club
celebrated its Sixth Anniversary last
Tuesday night with a magnificent ball
All of St. Landry's jeanesse doree were
invited and but few failed to be pres
ent on this auspicious occasion. In
fact, so we'll il this popular Society g
hospitality known, that among those
who are present at these celebrations
many are from other towns and cities.
The famous Corona String Band of
Washington were in attendance and
discoursed most excellent music. At
$50 o'clock the officers of the Club led
off for the grand march and fully eighty
five couples followed. Such beauti-
ful scene has seldom been viewed in
our town. The ladies wore exquisite
costumes and never looked more lovely
while the gentlemen were in such bliss
full anticipation of a whole nights en-
.joyment that naught but spirit of
pleasure was reflected on their counte-
nances. Need we add that their fond
est expectations were realized? =?
Nice refreshments were served be
tween the dances and everything was
so well managed that not single crit
icism could have been made. When
Aurora with her rosy fingers was about
to open the golden portals of the
East /" and usher in another day, the
merry throng dispersed feeling deeply
grateful to their generous entertainers
and sincerely wishing that many more
such reunions were in store for them in
the future. To these wishes the CoU-
RIER adds its congratulations and hopes
that the o. S. c. will exist long enough
to celebrate many such anniversaries.

''The World"

Of this celebrated nautical drama,
which will be produced at Perrodin's 3
Hall next Wednesday night, the Tenn
pie TEX Daily Times of Oct Is says :
A good sized audience assembled last night
to witness the first production i'll the city of
the great spectacular drama entitled ''The
World. The play is very strong one,
aboundiug in pathos, replete with comedy,
and containing some intensely strong dra-
matte situations. The scenic G fleets were
grand and the scenery, which the company
carry, is perhaps the best that was ever put
on the stage of the Bjou, and intricate,
though it be, it was handled in excellent
style, without single hitch The magnif-
cent ship disappearing i'll the waves, and the
great raft scene were triumphs of mechanical
effect, aud were powerfully suggestive OF re-
ality The company appearing in the play is
an excellent one, very evenly balanced in
fact there was not single weak representa-
tion in the piece. Gustave Neavlle, as Harry
Elieston one of Uncle Sans sailor boys, was
manly and digniied He gave the house un-
mistakable proof ofhs ability as q tragediaD.
Tie great passions Of the human heart, so
characteristic of the true man, were in turn
wonderfully portrayed. His future is not ii
doubtful one. j. b. Hogan, as Deveraux
Powers the villain, gave powerful piece of
acting. and impressed the audience SO much
with his yiilainy that several looked forward
w HIS btlHS ScCti ELoOLi
gave an excellent representation of the bluff,
open-hearted sea captain. His song in the
second act was much admired The comedy
element in tho hands of Harry Thomas as
Morris Abrams and L. l.. Coleman, as Dennis,
could scarcely have been improved upon. +.
l.. Barringer, c. G. Andres, Eugene Watts
and p. A. Keller rendered efficient assistance.
Miss Ida A. Yancyson, as Rose the injured
heiress, gave graceful aud finished perform.
ance With the fault of too little voice. Miss
Mabel Norton, as Jennie Graham, showed
herself to be rery talented artist. She pos.
sesses great versatility and is equally good in
comedy or pathos. Her performance was one
of the best in the piece. The whole play was
excellently acted, and better pleased audi
