IF we cannot have steam railroad
running into town from the west, why
can we not have a horse tram extend
ing out to Faquetaique at least? Be-
sides, being a great convenience to the
people along the proposed route, such
road would undoubtedly prove paying
investment for its promoters.
With such road, a rice mill, bank
and an artesian well, Opelousas would
soon be altogether different sort OF a
town from what it now is.

Tied His Hor.. 9. . era..hopper.

Miss Cooper, q daughter of the novel;
ist, James Fenimore Cooper, states that
when in Paris she saw French transla-
ton of her fathers tale, 1.-The Spy" in
which there were several mistakes, but
one of them was such that it was almost
incredible that any one could possibly
have been guilty Of it. The residence of
Mr.. Wharton, one of the characters who
figure in the story, is spoken of by the
author as "'The Locusts." Now, the
translator had evidently been ignorant
of the circumstance of there being any
species of trees bearing this name.
Having, therefore, looked up the word
in his dictionary, and finding the defni-
ton to be given as Lies Sauterelles"-
grasshoppers-thus he rendered it in the
text. Presently, however, he came across
a paragraph in the novel in which 1t was
stated that visitor to the house of Mr..
Wharton had tied his horse to a locust.
Then it might be naturally supposed
that the translator would at once have
discovered his error. Not a bit of it!
His reasoning would appear to have been
somewhat on a parity with that of cele-
brated cpuntryman Of his, when he de
clared that IF the facts do not agree
with The theory, so much the worse for
the facts"
Nevertheless, the writer seems 70 have
been conscious that some explanation
was due of so extraordinary a statement
as that horseman had secured his stee0
to grasshopper. So he went on gravely
to inform his readers that in America
these insects grow to an enormous size.
and that in this case one of these. dead
and stuffed, had been stationed at the
door of the mansion for the convenience
