a Mystery Explained.

Strolling around town one day this
week in search of items, which have
been remarkably scarce lately, we no
/ ticed quite gathering about the store
of j. Meyers & Co, at the corner of
Main and Landry streets, and dropping
! in to see what was up, we found this
large establishment literally crowded
with customers, and the entire force
numbering fourteen employees, exclu-
sive of the proprietors, all busy attend
ing to the wants of the eager patrons,
several of whom were from distant
parts of the parish and some from ad-
joining parishes.
With the pardonable curiosity of a
newspaper man, we instlnctively began
looking around for an explanation of
this unusual hustle at this compare
lively quiet season. We were not long
in solving the mystery-for without
the necessity of encroaching upon the
valuable time of either proprietors or
employees for the desired information,
Il hurried inspection of the house soon
afforded us clue to the situation.
First, we found that the vast estab-
lishment was completely filled with
goods, each department judiciously as
sorted, and comprising dry goods, fancy
goods, notions, clothing, hats, shoes,
hardware, groceries, ETC.; and what
particularly drew our attention was a
line of goods just added to their stock,
and which, perhaps, was never before
attempted in any country store-we
mean most complete assortment OF
fittings for steam engines and boilers,
d feature which will doubtless prove
of immense advantage to the machinist
and engineer. who may now get here
at home just what they need and when
they need it, and at prices that will
compare favorably VIII New Orleans.
When we consider that all these goods
were bought at wholesale, from first
hands and in carload lots. and care
fully and judiciously selected by the
proprietors in person, who are selling
them at IA small profit, it ia easy to ac-
count for the rush at j. Meyers & Co. s.
Al lther notable feature which struck
us as an innovation in Opelousas that
cannot fail to prove popular one with
all classes of buyers, is that all goods
are marked in plain fgures-au unmis-
taxable evidence of uniform low prices;
aud as an instance of low prices of
goods, we happened to notice an i'm
mense pile of ealcoes, Including Ameri-
can indigo blue and best dark prints,
which are usually sold at 7 and 8 cents,
being rapidly sold at 5 cents yard; a
lot of full finished children's hose SELL
ing at 10 cents per pair--usually sold
at 25 cents lot of easlmeres, double
width, all shades, worth 40 cents per
yard, going at % cents; ribbons, all
shades, we'll worth 90 cents, going like
hot cakes at 10 cents, and other goods
at same rates; and that, to our mind,
explained the mystery of the rnsh at J.
Movers & Co.'S.

The. Public Cemetery.

Last July we called attention to the
fact that the fence enclosing our Public
Tor Protestant) Cemetery was broken
down and that cattle roamed at will
over the graves that have no enclosures.
We urged that some immediate steps
be taken to put an end to this desecra-
ton of fthe last resting place OF the dead
and suggested that it would he better
to charge something for the privilege
of burial lots and thus create fund to
keep the sacred grounds in proper re-
pair, than to leave them open as cat
tie range. We have not heard that any
heed had been given to our suggestions;
at any rate the scandalous desecration
still goes on--the good, sound planks
of which the fence is composed are ly-
ing in several places prone upon the
ground, aud the cattle are browsing
and trampling on the graves. 1t is a
shame and disgrace to the community
that such state of affairs should exist;
and it is sad commentary upon our
public spirit-aye, upon our civilization
itself-that this lovely spot, which by
the expenditure of a few paltry dollars
could be transformed into a beautiful
"city of the dead" shonld be abandon
ed to the beasts Of the field for a pas
ture and totally neglected as it is.
We therefore appeal to onr people of
every faith to see that stop is
promptly put to this shocking condition
of things. If, as seems to be the case,
it is nobody's business to keep the fence
and cemetery in proper order, let an
Association of our citizens be formed
for the purpose, and if there be no legal
impediments in the way let that Asso
citation appoint a sexton and make such
other regulations as will enable it to
preserve in at least decent order this
too long neglected yet lovely Goods
acre" But at all events let that fence
be put up right away.
This is an auspicious time, when the
Catholic world is preparing to celebrate
All Saints and All Souls days and to
decorate with bright flowers and beau
tiful wreaths the graves of departed
friends-this is an opportune moment,
we say, for the Inauguration of this no.
BILE work. IF a few public spirited la
dies would take the matter in hand
success would soon crown their efforts.
Who will take the initiative?

Chicago is actively at work seeking
to secure all the backing it can for the
Worlds Fair of 1892. It started out
with the backing of nearly ali the Wes-
tern States. It's greatest weakness was

see that this section held the balance
of power IN the contest between it and
New York.

direction and has already achieved i'm

of New Orleans has unanimously en-
dorsed it. It has secured also the back
