JAMES FISHER THOMPSON.

On Thursday. January %, 1890, the
mortal body of J. F. Thompson ar
rived here by the morning train for
interment in st. Johns Cemetery.
The deceased had died III Marshal
Texas. which place had been his
HON" for the last year.
Ten days previous he bad been
taken down with Pneumonia, and
tslegraphed his mother TO come to
him. BY the first train the venerable
lady left and in a short time reached
the bedside other loved and suffering
son. The skill of physicians, nor the
devotion of a wife. nor the are Of Il
mother, could avert the fatal shaft
that had been hurled at the young
sufferer by the angel Of Death.
\ large number of sympathetic
friends met the body at the Rail Road
Depot and accompanied it to It's final
resting place. by the side Of father.

The deceased WAS % yearS4 months
and I days of age. cut down IN the
beginning of alife that promised to be
one of usefulness and prosperity. A
dntiful son, Il lovin" husband. q kind
father, Il genial companion and a true
friend, all passed away at the sum
mons of the pale horse and his rider.
Owing to the Illness Of DR.. Akin
son of the Presbyterian church, the
funeral services were conducted at
the grave by the Rev. A. $. Clark, OF
st. Johns church.

loved one. about to be forever en-
closed from the view of mortal ewes,
and in a distant State sat the afflicted
widow with her babe upon her knee,
weeping as though all that is loving,
and blessed i'll life was lost forever.
And then, the preachers voice arose,
Il heard a voice from heaven. say

enacted a law especially for the regu-
lation and preservation of our oyster
industry, but this law has up to the
present time been practically a dead
letter: for the reason as is claimed
that there Mere, aud are, no funds
available for its enforcement. The
plea is spacious, it is Il fact that no
sufficient fund is in existence for the
payment of the officials necessary for
the proper execution of the law, but
this lack of money is solely due to the
fact that no serious effort has ever
been made to collect the revenue our
fisheries should yield to the state.

chants and even the politicians and
the lawyers generally throughout the
country would not tumble over each

very well that they would i'll ease of
Delinquency, be stirred up with a long
pole by the District Attorneys, the
Sheriffs and all the other parish and
State officials even up to the rank of
Governor whose salraies depend upon
such legal and necessary contribu-
tons.
The whole question from the begin
ming has been involved in the proven
bal vicious circle. There is no
money to pay the commissioners be-
cause there are no commissioners to
enforce the law, and the law is not
enforced because there is no one to
enforce it.
In the meantime our ~oyster-beds
are being devastated in plain, open
and outrageous defiance of the law
and the rights of our people to whom
they belong.

The people in Lafourche who attend

The acting was really fine, each

OUR OYSTERS.

History does not name the first man
Tor wOman !? who had the courage to
swallow Il raw oyster. Whether this
adventurous individual dwelt in a
reed built hut upon the delta of the
Nile, or IL a rockycave on some island
of the Grecian archipelago, or under IA
sail-cloth tent upon the saud-pit
that protected the ancient harbor of
Tyre, or whether the %succulent BIZ
valve was discovered at a still later
date, say by ONE fugitive Roman
among the morasses of the muddy
Tiber, is something | could never find
out.
One can easily imagine that Cleo
patra Toasted Caius Caesar. her first.
and Mare Antony her last, lover upon
them at those astounding bacquets
where her extravaganza and luxury
astonished even the masters of the
world. 1t is not probable that such
finished and reckless gourmets who at
any cost ransacked the uttermost ends
of the earth for delicacies, would have
overlooked this one, the most delicate
of all which lay at their very doors.
But whoever may have been the
heroic human who first swallowed a
raw oyster. he Tor she y was certain
ly possessed of a courage analogous
to that of Columbus when 400 years
ago he sailed into the unknown in
search of the unknown.
Leaving aside all mere speculation,
authentic history teaches us that the
oyster as Il delicate Wand ~(fjdndise)
was well known to the Romans and
the knowledge of his many virtues
spread with Roman civilization
throughout Western Europe and from
thence to II W shores.
In Europe the demand forthe oyster
has been tor three centuries. and is
to-day so great, that it has become a
luxury to he eaten only by the rich:
and the consumption has become so
enormous that in order to meet it the
fishermen have found it profitable to
use artificial methods of propagation.
In Europe wherever the oyster eau he
grown the industry is under rigid
governmental control, and the same
system is III force in some parts OF
America: notably in the waters OF
Long Island Sound. and the Delaware
and Chesapeake bays. So profitable
are the oyster fisheries Of the Chesa-
peake that the two states holding jur-
isdiction yer those waters keep ex-
