The Brazilian Republic was discussed by Henry s. Dawson. The last monarchy ex- isting In America has been abolished, said he, and 1t Is now known as the United States of Brazil. The transition to republication has been bloodless, thing scarcely upparal- for self. government, for slavery has been abolished and men are recognized as equal. To Dom Pedro above all should the Brazilian republic be grateful. It was through him chiefly that the result was obtained. Europe to. day is the stronghold of monarchy. The old kings were of strong character and fit to rule. Their descendants have been weak and absolute. When the European people begin to see what their rights are, they must be expected to demand and secure them. In this, as in other things, has the new world set the step of progress for the old. The re- cent event in Barzil completes this reas. sumption throughout the independent na. tions of America.
 Miss Jennie E. Coomb's essay was upon cline, she stated, is worthy of serious thought. The mind has always been active. In early times the simple pastoral lives of the people tended to earnestness and thought. There was little history and science. How different nowi Progress is our watch- word. We are ever on the alert and restless. Poets abound but the world is too busy to toko uOtIC0 OI tnous Dub W0 6uOuAO uOo al- low our imaginations to slumber. We should lift our inner selves to that high, noble, beautiful level upon which the souls of the worlds greatest men have dwelt.
 Hark how the Horns was sung by the school.
 Emma B. Hayden delivered an oration mp. on Education and the State. The greatest gift of God to man, said she, is mind. It is, therefore, our duty to train our minds to paths which lead to future happiness and prosperity. There must be . universality of education that rich and poor may enjoy the blessings of our land. It is maintained that the greatest genius is often found among the | poorest classes. Let there be, then, free school system throughout the country. In this lot us not forget one who has done a vast deal for our dear state, to assist in the education of its children, the late ex Gov srnor James E. English. It is to him that we owe much of our fine school system. Na. polson feared education after he had con- qusrsd the world nearly. Freedom is the sister to education. Educate the masses. The free high school should be considered the essential part of our system. It is here gsuiqs is developed and sslf.govssnmsnt

Opelousas, La., May 26, 1890.
Whereas, it has pleased the Supreme Com
mander Of the Universe to remove from our
ranks our beloved Companion LAWSON A.
BLACK, one of the founders and on active and
worthy member, and ut one time the Com
nander of this Council; therefore, be it
{ Resolved that in the death of Companion
Black this Council has lost one of its truest
and noblest members, who at all times Was
ready to fulfill any duty imposed upon him
by his 60 workers;
That the vacant place created by this ever
lasting departure cannot be easily filled,
That as citizen, husband and father, his ex-
ample is worthy of imitation. He was truly o
good man: he was kind to all, and stroge ia
do right in ALT walks of his life,
Be it further resolved, that we extend to
his bereaged widow and family our sincere
sympathy, and hope that their great grief
will lie tempered by the inestimable heirloom
of the honored name he left behind and the
conviction that he now dwells with the good
and righteous Companions who have gone be.
fore him, and that this separation is but of
short duration.
Be it further resolved, that the charter of
this Council be draped in mourning and the
members thereof wear the usual badge of
mourning for thirty days; that these resolu-
tiuns be spread on the minutes, and that they
be published in the Opelousas Courier and St
Landry Democrat and copy be sent to the
family of our deceased Companion.
