the last three months made desperate
attempts to ignore the existence Of the

game. They determined to freeze us

OUR LAW LIBRARTA SUG-
GESTTON.

The law library generously donated
to the parish Of Lafourche by it's old
distinguished citizen, Hon. Louis Bush,
was received last Saturday.
1t consists of some fourteen hundred
volumes of valuable books, in a splen-
did state of preservation. Indeed, it
might be said that the books are all
new, for the generous donor did not
content himself with giving his libra
ry in the condition in which it was,
but actually had rebound in fine law
sheep every volume in the lot that
had become i'll any way the worse
from use and wear. So, practically,
the parish now owns a splendid law
library of bran new books.
The Colonel's good taste and fine
sense of delicacy have been noticeable
in every step taken by him leading to
the full accomplishment of his gener-
GUS desire to testify in a tangible form
his appreciation and esteem of the peo-
pie of Lafourche, among whom he has
spent the best years Of a useful and
honorable life. Even in the delivery
he seems to have anticipated the wish
Of his grateful donees, for he had each
book properly labelled on the inside
Of the first lid with printed strips of
paper, bearing the simple but preg-
nant inscription "Parish of Lafour-
che, from Louis Bush"
Only that and nothing more; but
this plain legend is destined to com
memorate for generations innumerable
in the coming annals of Lafourche the
disinterested generosity of the distin-
guished donor and to perpetuate his
name forever among us and ours to
be. 1t is needless to say to those who
know him that the Colonel has even
prepaid the freight. No half way
thing with him.
And now q suggestion to the men,
bers of the bar. The Police Jury has
accepted the donation of our distin-
guished countryman with the condition
imposed of keeping up the ANIMALS Of
u State, the reports of the Supreme
Court of the United States and the
Journal dW Pdlais. This was q wise
and sensible provision, imposed for
u own good. But ought the work
of adding to y valuable collection Of
law books to stop herei
We think not. We have a good IL
brary to start with, and an effort
should be made to add to it annually.
The parish ought to contribute a small
sum annually for this purpose; we
think this would be money we'll placed.
But some discretion ought to be exer-
cised in making the purchases, to the
end that none but the most useful
books be acquired.
Who better qualified to make the
selection than the members of the BARI
Who more interested than they in the
matter9 Then would it not be wise for
them to Organize-to form a kind of
bar association to take the matter in
charge and see that the library is pro-
perly cared for and decently kept up,
and devise the means to add thereto
we'll as recommend proper books
to he purchased?
We throw out this suggestion with
the hope that it will be acted upon
and chat we may o n be called upon
to chronicle it's full fruition.
