Nearly every concomitant of an old

many advantages found only in

for immigration, and welcome every

with passably good judgment. While
iD some sections there is a good deal
of poor land, in others there is a more

WATER.

In last weeks SENTINEL the ques-
ton OF supplying the Town Of Thibo-
daux with WATERWAYS placed before the
readers of this paper, and its inabili-
ty to flush the bitches. and furnish
water in a time of drOuth. How can
that want be remedied? The topOgra-
ply Is such that a stream OF water can
not be made to run through the town
without submerging some of the land
in its passage. Bayou Lean Blue.
originally heading or leaving Bayou
Lafourche near where the present saw
mill now stands passed through the
village almost identically on What is
now known as Short Street. and then
bending somewhat to the South pas
sed down towards the Acadia planta-
ton.
The land between that bayou ara
Bayou Terrebonne forms a high ridge,
almost as elevated as the lands ada
cent to Bayou L~afourche.
There are three, perhaps four sec
tons in the town that can only be sup
piled, each tor itself with water.
With the present pump at the head
of st. Philip Street that part of the
town between Bayou Lafourche, on
the North, Jackson street on the west.
Short street on the south. and the can
al on the west, can be supplied. In
order to furnish water from Short
street to the real of the town, west of
canal, some other remedy must be
proposed, and the same can be said of
that section lying east of the canal.
An artesian well sunk somewhere
near St. Johns Episcopal Church
would supply the water needed in the
first section mentioned.
A we'll p inches in diameter can
be put down for $4,000, that will fur
nisll all the water required for the
use of the people for all purposes,
and flush the bitches as often as neces-
sity may demand that ii should be
done.
If the water will not rise 10 a height
above ground that will give it ID fall
o fitself, the addition of a wind mill
and a five thousand gallon tank
will be necessary.
\ wind mill will cost about one
hundred dollars. and once put in mo-
ton the tank will be kept constantly
full, from which water a be drawn
1t any time.
A pipe can be attached to this well
to which the fire engines can screw on
their suctions, and pump as long as they
desire without any fears of exhausting
the supply.
Well. wind mill and tanks would
OF cost more than six hundred dol
lars, and once put in operation would
be almost free from any expense to the
corporation. This would be no expert
ment, these wells have been tested all
over Southern Louisiana, In
Napoleonville they have one that not
only furnished all the water that the
town needed during the late drouth,
but supplied many families who came
carts and wagons to haul a sup
ply to their homes in the country.

Onions and WatercresSes.

The watercress is a plant containing
very sanitary qualities. A curious
characteristic OF it is that, if grown in IA
ferruglnous steam, it absorbs into itself
five time the amount OF iron that any
other plant does. For all anemIc con
situations it is, therefore special of
value. But it also contains portionso of
garlic and sulphur of iodine and phos-
pilates, and isa blood purifier, while
abroad it is thought a most wholesome
condiment, with meat, roast OF grilled.
The cultivated plant is rather more easy
OF Indigestion than the wild me-. Bostan-
lcaly the onion belongs to the lily
family.
The oder of the egetable, which Is
what MAKES it SO unpleasant, is due toa
volatile oil, which is the same as that in
garlic, though in the onion it is milder
and naturally does not last SO long.
Their are, besides, easy ways of remov-
inS aC once all unpleaSantneSS from the
breach. Alittle parsley or a few grains
OF coffee, or even a swallow or two of
milk, if taken after eating. proves an
effective remedy. Boiled onions are
the least Objectionable in regard to
odor, and are as easily digested as any.
The oil in the onion passes off in the
water in which the vegetablesar boiled
and if the kettle be kept closely cover
ed and the water changed after they
have boiled five minutes, and then
again ten minutes later, there will be
no odor through the house and the
onions will be white instead O sray, as
they so often are. Besides being rich
IN h~esh-forming elements, raw onions
are especially good in breaking I'D a
heavy cold, they are also stimulating
to fatigued persons, and are otherwise
beneficial scientific American.

TYPICAL CREOLE.
HON. GABRI l. MONTEGCT

hun. GABRI l. MONTEGCT
vas born in the city OF New Orleans
on the 3oth of July, 1889. and is IA des-
cendant of one of the oldest Creole
families ofLouisiana. At an early age
he attended the Sewickley Academy
in Pennsylvania where he took a four
years course. In his sixteenth yearhe
became a clerk in one of the leading
wholesale firms in New Orleans.
When the wal broke out he enlisted
as color bearer in the '1Orleans Guard
Battery commanded by Capt. Henri
Ducatal, and subsequently by Capt.
Gustave LeGardeur, and served
throughout the war in the Army of
Tennessee, surrendering under Gen.
Joseph E. johnson. After the war he
returned to New Orleans where he en-
gagged in commercial pursuits for a
short time, when he decided to visit
Ferrebonne. He was so well pleased
with his visit that he at once decided
to cast his lot amongst us.
At the reorganization of the Demo-
cratic party of this parish. after the
famous and long to be remembered
campaign of 1876, he was chosen
Chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee of this Parish.
In the memorable political battles
that followed-those days of political
corruption and rapacity-he stood firm
and fearless, and by his enthusiastic
courage gave renewed life to the al
most expiring Democracy of this par.
ish. He strengthened and organized
the discouraged elements of his party,
and after many successive defeats, in
the campaign Of 1884, he stood at the
head of a solid column of Democratic
veterans.
His brilliant and able leadership won
him an enviable position in the coun-
ellis of the Democratic party, and when
Mr.. Cleveland became Presidend, he
appoited Mr.. Montegut to that high and
responsible position of Superintendent
of the United States Mint at New Or
leans. Mr.. Montegut soon mastered
the intricate workings Of the mint, and
administered Its affairs in such a
creditable and able manner that he
was highly complimented by the Di-
rector of the Mint at Washington.
AS soon as his resignation hah been
accepted by President Harrison he re-
turned to Houma and engaged in COM
mercial pursuits, besides resuming his
insurance business.
Mr.. Montegut has lost none of his
old time popularity. and is. beloved as
the leader of the Terrebonne Demo-
crazy. His numerous friends admire
his fearless and brilliant leadership,
and are ready at all times to trust
their political rights to his wisdom and
Courier.
