OpelOusas Female Institute.

! A large concOurse of our most worth,
citizens assembled at the Opelousas So
cial Club Hall, on Friday last, to wit
ness the Commencement Exercises O.
that most excellent Institution, under
the efficient management of Mrs. Nj. M
Hayes.
The exercises were promptly opened
at the hour announced with prayer by
Rev. 7. B. White, Of the NJ. E. church
of Mansfield. Then came the "Drilln by
the young ladies-Miss FIavilla White
Captain, and Misses Augusta Lastrapes
Aleie Bartels, Maggie and Helen An
drus, Maud and Dee White, Eva Law
ther, Dcllie Broussard, May Sandoz
Eleanor Daniels, Daisy Thompson and
Eulah Smith
The Recitation entitled "Whistling
Regiment" by Miss Augusta Lastrapes,
was we'll delivered and highly appre-
ciated by the audience.
The graduates, Misses Addie Humble,
Of Washington, and Berta and Eunice
Pharr, of New Iberia, were arrayed in
lovely white dresses aud made modest
appearance. The essays of these young
ladies were as follows: "What Will She
Do With ItP" by Miss Addie Humble !;
"Trials and Pleasures of School Life"
by Miss Eunice Pharr, and Success, if
Lightly Wooed, is Lightly Won," by
Miss Berta Pharr. These essays were
beautifully composed, legibly written,
and admirably read, and caused hearty
and long continued applause from the
audience. Too much cannot be said in
favor of these young graduates and
they reflect great credit upon the Insti-
tuition and their parents. They have
the best wishes of the DEMOCRAT.
The musical part of the exercises,
which was Of the highest order, was
rendered by the "Class," Mrs. Meng and
Miss Flavilla White.
Another pleasing incident of the even
ing was the presentation OF four large
and elegant books by the "Class" to
their Professor, Rev. f. w. Lewis. 1t
was pleasant and great surprise to the
Professor, but he, nevertheless, grace
fully and kindly thanked the donors.
Tic Annual Address was delivered
by Judge E. North Cullom in his usual
Happy style, and was we'll received aud
oudiy applauded. This Institution has
enrolled eighty scholars during this ses
lion.

Food for Reflection.
Y O. Times.Democraf.


There is passage in the Mayors let
ter replying to Mr.. Carradine's protes
against the acceptance of the LOTTERY
Company's donation which is striking
enough to call for comment, as it vii
certainly cause reflection. The passags
is this:

buttons in the world at large, and espe.
cially in this part OF it, of those tainted
with sin, thousands OF Gods creatures
would be even worse off than they are
and that if every dollar stained with
wine or crime, or which was ill gotten
was cast out, sweet charity's treasure
box would be very empty and the ranks
of the vicious would be greatly swollen
by recruits driven to them by dire dis
tIess and poverty. / know that there
are sheltered and cared for now in COM
parative comfort many orphans, aged
and sick persons, who but for the mo-
ney received from lottery companies
and gamblers would be in the streets or
their graves
"Come to my Office almost any day,
question those who administer the H.
nances of the city, and learn for your
self how utterly impossible it's to pro-
vide at all for the hundreds who apply
for relief.

city's resources SO small that am glad

The Indictment here delivered by i'm
plication against those who delight
themselves with the thought that they
build up and represent the "moral SEN
timentD of the community is severe
but, as Mayor Shakespeare has, in his
official capacity, opportunities of know
ing who they are who contribute to the
relief OF distress, we may safely take
it for granted that the severity of the
Indictment is not out OF proportion to
its correctness.
That the constituents of the "moral
sentiment of tho community give of
their goods to feed the poor, as they are
eDjoined by the Master, no one will be
found to deny but when they assume
airs. as it were, in the matter OF chari-
table giving; when they seek to die

money to help avert calamity and miti-
gate distress. then it is we'll they should
be reminded, as his Honor reminds
them, that the contributor TO emergency
cases Of suffering is in almost every
cage member of the classes whom they
outlaw.
Church -geers, In fact, and the churches
are trifle too much occupied with their
own ecclesiastical field and its out
works to allow much of their eleemo-
eynary means to be diverted into gene
raj CT secular channels. They have
large number Of educational and other
wise purely denominational schemes TO
carry out; and they carry them ont ex-
ceilently well, as a rule, and to the great
benefit of those within the pale. But

There is nothing offensive in the Lot

money more than there is in the money
that is gathered in raff1es at church ba-
Ears, and we have not heard that there
is much virtuous scruple about using
this latter for charitable purposes. Why
should there be any more scruple about
accepting the generous donation of the
Lottery Company
Looking gift horse in the mouth has
been held at all times so unwise a pro-

into proverb, and Mayor Shakspeare's
acceptance of the donation of the Lot
terry Company-under the existing cir
cumstances and with no conditions at

the vast majority of New Orleans pco-

open to the charge of fastidious folly.
