Well done for Opelousas.

All hail to her son, William j. Sand0z.
This young man, now 30 years of age, Il
native of Opelousas, and son of our fell
low townsmaD, L. A. Sandoz, stood his
examination before the Civil Service
Commission in New Orleans, very re-
Gently, and we are happy to say, with
flying colors. He was accepted as pos
sessing the necessary qualifications, and
as a reward, has been appointed to a
Clerkship in the War Department, at
Washington, D. c., with q salary. of
$1,000 per annum.
This is highly commendable in the
young man, and whilst we feel confident
he could not have succeeded without q
full share of merit, we felicitate him,
and tender our sincere congratulations
to his parents.

With this issue | sever my editorial
connection with the ST.. LANDRY Demo-

the most pleasant character and | may
say that the publisher has been in full
accord witt my course aslocal editorand
fully endorses it. To the readers of the
DEMOCRAT who bave shown SO much
kindness and consideration, [ return
sincere thanks. | would also return

The valedictory of chas. w. DuRoy

We invite attention to the modest
valedictory of Mr. DuRoy. It would
have been pleasing to us, had circnm-
Stances left it advisable on his part to
continue his connection with our little
paper. Its business is too circumscribed
to warrant the occupation of two editors,
apd as he fortunately has professional
business, which will more remunerat-
ingly reward his labors, and stimulate
his talents, he has torn himself from us.
We wish him prosperity in the renewal
of bis'professional pursuit, which be will
henceforth follow exclusively.

We received polite invitation to the
above concert, which was given at Per-

sioDs of highest praise Of the entire en-
tertainment. After the concert was
over, the dance was inaugurated and all
went on we'll until the wee hours of the

The mornings have been quite cool, but
the ardnr of the suns rays during the

difference of temperature at morn and

We were present at a supper given by
the knights of Honor iu this place, at
Mrs. Jagou's boarding house. Oh the
evening of the 4tiI inst. To say it was
elegantly conducted-is certainly due to
the gallant knights. TO say that the
table was sumptuously supplied, hardly
expresses the idea. There was an ele-
giant suf1iciency Of everything ca lculat-
ed to appease Il fastidions appetite. In
flow of SOUL" which must leave many
pleasant memories in the minds of all
present. Mrs. Jagou understands her
business, and we bespeak for her an
abundance of it. We thank the knights
for the invitation extended to us, and
wish them many anniversary returns,
and with them increasing prosperity.

WEEKLY CHAMPION
The Needles Bridge.
Globe-Democrat,)

The year 1890 will be memorable for the completion of the great iron cantalever bridge across the Colorado river, near the Needles, one of the most wonderful and daring engin- .eering achievements in the history of America. Since the construction of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad across the continent, the company has been compelled at various times to spend hundred of thousands of dollars to try and keep a bridge across the Colorado river, and at times has had the entire passenger and freight business of the whcle Tosd interrupted by a sudden rise in the river and the washing away of the bridge.
 There is no possible room for doubt but what this is one of the cases where the dearest is the cheapest in the long run. Where the entire business of a great trans continental railroad is liable to be blocked for weeks, at cost of from S5000 to S10,000 day, it is abso= lutely necessary to Glke measures to prevent the recurrence of such ca lamity. The minds of the best en- gineering talent in America, if not of the world, have been engaged for years preparing a plan to master the rolling, surging waters of the great Colorado river, which is liable at certain seasons of the year to rise fFe4 bank to bank, height of 20 feet or more, within a few hours. i The result has been to finally start the construction of great cantal- ever bridge.
 Every person is familiar with the principle of the suspension bridge; how the structure is suspended on chains, which are secured over high | pillars at each end. The cantalever however, is merely bracket built Out from the shore by welding iron, beam on beam, until it meets a similar bracket sent out from the opposite side. The homely illustra- tioR has been used that it is like two men on opposite sides of stream stretching out their arms to join hands and using stick to com plete the connection. In general apperance the Needles bri lge re sespbles two towers of open steel work, with an enormous bracket ex- tending from each tower, the inter vening space between the ends of the brackets being covered by lattice work girders.

A Fearful Psoriasis

My disease tpsoriasis) first broke out on my
left cheek, spreading across my nose, and al
most covering my face. 1t ran into my eyes,
and the physician was afraid I would lose
my eyesight altogether. 1t spread all over
my head, and my hair all fell out until l.
was entirely bald-headed; it then broke out
on my arms and shoulders, until my arms
were just one sore. 1t covered my entire
body, my face head and shoulders being the
worst. The white scabs fell constantly from
my head, shoulders and arms: the skin would
thicken and be red and very itchy and would
crack and bleed if scratched. After spending
many hundreds of dollars, was pronounced
incurable. heard Of the CUTIcURA RENE
DIES, and after using two bottles CUTIcURA
REsoLyENT. could see change; and after
had taken four bottles. was almost cured;
and when had used six bottles of CUTIcURA
REsoLvENT. and one box of CUTICURA, and
one cake of CUT1cURA SOAP, I was cured of the
dreadful disease from which I had suffered
for five years. ] thought the disease would
leave a very deep scar. but the CUTICURA
REMEDIES cured it without any scars. can
not express with q pen what I suffered be-
fore using the CUTICURA REMEDIES. They
saved my life, and feel it my duty to recon-
mend them. My hair is restored as good as
ever, and SO is my eyesight l know of others
who have received great benefit from their
use.
