Tate COVe'S Echoes.
Weather very warm with no signs

Weather very warm with no signs of
rain.
There is some evidence that the
period of educational apathy is drawing
to an end in Tate's Cove, as the people
contemplate to build school house on
the public land lying adjoining Mr.. II.
II. Deshotel's plantation.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed
on the gentlemen who so energetlcally
set the plan on foot. And they should
be encouraged and assisted by all the
residents OF the ward. The young la
dies specially should take the matter in
band they can accomplish more than
men in raising the necessary fund. Let
them give q concert and we feel conf
dent that it will be a success. The peo-
Dle to our great satisfaction are waking
up from the frightful mase OF Ignorance
and they seem to recognize the fact that
to be good citizens, ''ce must be educdt-
ed.n
Weddings are becoming an epidemic,
Father Pensier, celebrated as many as
three marriages day.
Yesterday was the marriage, OF Mr..
Jean Duos to Miss Elisabe Ardoin. The
favorable weather attracted large
crowd. The bride-mad were Misses
Isore Latour, Pauline, Rosana Ardoln
and Anastasie Deshotels: They were
most tastefully attired and their charms
and grace added much to the occasion
These young ladies who are quite ex::
perts in displaying the Fantastic toe
we're in accordance with certain rult
selected to open the ball at night, whicl

ded couple.
Here it must be remarked that Ger
tain brakeman, unaccustomed to tn
art of dancing had much to contend
but he was treasured and encouraged
BY his colleagues of the fair sex t.
whom he is greatly indebted. He say
the art of dancing is no more myster.

There is nothing which adds so much
to young mans success in life-next
to honesty of purpose-as the practice
Of good manners. A polite man will
show bis good breeding wherever he
goes, on the sidewalks, in buggy, or
in your parlor. If you meet man who
refuses to give you half the road, or to
turn out on the sidewalk, you may class
him as man Of no sense Of justice in
his soul. When we speak OF polite men
we do not wish to be understood as re-
ferring to one who bows low and takes
off his hat to ladies and men of position
and turns away from the poor man, but
we mean the honest face--the man who
carries a smile on bis countenance and
WHO never turns his face away from the
poor; we mean the man who has KIND
salutation when he meets you in the
morning, and pleasant good night
in the evening, man whose face is his
heart and which is always devoid OF OF
fence. SUCH man is bound to succeed;
such a one will find friends. Young
men, be polite.

What constitutes true loveliness?
Not the polished brow, the gaudy dress
nor the show and parade of fashionable
lie. A woman may have all the out
ward marks of beauty, and yet not pos
sess lovely temperarAnt. Il is the
benevolent disposition, the kind act and
the christian department. 1t is IN the
heart. where meekness, truth, affection
and humility are found, where we look
in vain. The woman that can sooth the
wrinkled brow. alleviate the anguish OF
the mind, and pour the balm of conso-
lation in the wounded breast, possesses,
in an eminent degree, true loneliness OF
character. She is the real companion OF
man, and does the work of an angel. 1t
is such character that blesses with
warmth and sunshine, and maketh earth
to resemble the Paradise of God.

On Thursday evening of last week,
Maj. Dennis Doyle, special police officer.
of our neighboring town of Washing
ton, arrested a suspicious appearing
colored man, who had been lurking
around the vicinity Of the railroad de-
pot in that town for several days. On
arriving at the Mayors Office. the dar-
key made a bold dash for liberty, and
in attempting his reeapture, lie opened
fire on the Major with q murderous
looking pistol, the first shot from which
passed through his hat grazing his
head, and the second striking his arm,
shattered the bone between the elbow
and shoulder, after which he made his
escape.
A posse was formed and started in
pursuit, and the following day he was
sighted near Morrow station, and on re-
fusing to surrender, he was treated to a
dose from q trusty Winchester in the
hands of Constable Baillio, ball from
which striking him in the thigh, placed
him hors dc combat. He was secured
and disarmed of his pistol, dirk knife
and loaded cane, and brought to town
where he was given quarters in the par
isl, prison. Tie wound received BY
him is not dangerous, no bones being
broken. He gives his name as Charlie
Brown, is d stranger here. and it is sur.
missed that be Is wanted for misdeeds

'EE,e Result OF "Further LegEs-
latEOR.s

When the Sentinel, first called the at
tcntion of the people OF Acadia to the
outrageous conduct of two OF her trust
ed servants, the plea was set up that
the great bill" creating the parish OF
Acadia was farce, and that they (the
commissioners were simply waiting
for further Legislation" when all
would be well. We demurred at the
time, and suggested that frequently
there happened such thing as too
much legislation, but hartably ad-
mitted that d little more legislation
might help the cause some, We even
yentured to indicate the lines upon
which we thought legislation might be
of advantage to the taxpayers Of the
parish, though we confessed 1T Wonld
be somewhat rough on the commits
si0neTs.
Chai1mrn Fontenot's letter complete
~ knocked the wind out OF the sails OF
these gentry by modestly observing
that St. Landry's Commissioners had
no right to act for Acadia, and that the
reason Acadia got no share in the assets
of the old parish was because she did
not ask for any.
But Duson and Fremaux clamored for
"more legislation" Well, to make Il
long story short, they got it. Aud how
they came to get it was on this wise
The Posce Jury, which has been 81,
lent, but by no means disinterest& OBJ
server of the antics of these men. met
in regular session last Monday, when
Mr.. Miller, from the fourth ward, arose
from his seat and moved the adoption
of an ominous looking document il
which the Police Jury resulted that the
action of the Joint Commission in tix
ing the debt, upon Acadia parish wal
unlawful, and that q new commission
be called to adjust the debt OF the tWt
parishes. This resolution of Mr.. Mil
iel's wound up in kind of Doxology
and when it's cadences melted away, thu
manly forms of the late commissioners
assembled towards Heaven as il elected
from catapult, until the progress o
their anatomies were lmpeded by con
tact with substance of more specifi
gravity than they. In vulgar parlance
they shit the ceiling And Homer
Barousse and Geo. X. Bradford reigne'
in their stead.
So The people are in a fair way t
have their bushes with st. Landry ad
iusted, while the commissioner
ought also to be satisfied. They go
what they asked for-"further Legisla
tion."-Acadia Sentinel.
