The published reports of the census
of 1890 give the population of Louisi-
ana, whites, 554,712; colcred 552 1893 ;
Indians, 62s Chinese, 315; Japanese,
80. This is a majority of whites over
colored Of 1919. In 1880, the popula-
ton was, whites, 454,954; cclored,
1868, VIII ch was a colored majority
of 2S7OI.
This is a gain for the white popula-
ton OF 2o,520 in ten years, and etfec-
tually explodes into thin ar, the idea
that so many people f~oolishlv enter
tain, that the colored race is i~ncreas-
ing more rapidly than the white one.
The white population of Lafourche
Is l42lO, the colored, 1884; the white
population of Assumption is 1O647, the
colored, $3.50; the whites in Terre-
bonnie number 103l5; the colored
9797; so that il. the each of the La
fourche parishes the whites are in the
majority.

hole, hung down on. the outside, by
means IF which one desiring to enter
could raise tifeF latch and open the
door. By drawing the string within,
the door was locked. The latch string,
hanging on the outside was always
deemed IN evidence of hospitality.
This cabin was selected by the Wings
as n of the evidences of the simpli-
city and hospitality of their candidate
who had dwelled in such buildings q
great part of his life.
In addition to these cabins the
Wings always had innumerable bar
rels of cider, enough to satisfy the
thirst of all who were present.
Where all that cider came from is one
OF the conundrums that | have never
been capable of solving. But it never
failed. 1t was inexliaustible.
BaTbecued beeves, Sleeps, hogs &C.,
always fed the hungry without limit.
The meats were prepared in primitive
style. a ditch was cut about four
feet deep, and four feet wide, of what
eve length was deemed requisite.
This was filed with solid wood and
set on fire, on either side of the trench
forked posts were driven into the
ground opposite each other connected
by a strong beam, resting in the forks.
As soon as the wood was burned into
Goals the meats were hing to those
beams, where they roasted we'll and
thoroughly, and were food fit for any
hungry human people.
From May until November these
B~arbecues never ceased. Any enc
who would travel Is miles could visit
one every week, and perhaps oftener.

Under q recent act of Congress. pro-
vision vas made for experiments in q
few towns with Il view of seeing to
what extent the free delivery service
of the Post Office Department could be
extended.
Representative Andrew Price has
been at the Post Office Department and
urged that Thibodaux be one of the
towns in which the experiment will be
made, and has reason to believe that
his efforts will be successful.
No better town to test the experi-
ment could be found than Thibodaux.

A few years ago, Iowa gave 10000
Republican majority. Then the Dem
ocratic leaders came out squarelv for
tariff reform, and tariff for revenue
only, with incidental protection for
those who needed protection, and not
for m%illionaires and gold bugs. and tbe
sturdy old farmers OF Iowa began to
inquire into the matter.
The result vas that two Years AGO
Iowa elected a Democratic Governor
and in November last, she elected =
majority Of Democratic congressman
and a few days ago turned over all
the municipal governments to the
Democrats. Truth is mighty and will
prevail. When the masses of the peo-
pie look into the political questions in
earnest, they generally come to a cor
rect decision.

FASHIONS FOR MEN.

Never made up tie under any consider
alton with the negiige shirt.
The coat shirt-a most sensible deviation
out of the rut Of custom-is coming. and
coming strong.
The toggery provided for the summer
youth, while bright and picturesque, in no
phase transcends the bounds of propriety
In color or design
The washable waistcoats that come in
many well chosen designs will be worn
with the coats and trousers. They may be
worn with the cheyiot, but not the flannel
shirts.
The silk band has been tried again with
success upon the bell crowned London
hats. an effort to carry the velvet craze to
this extent has not met with general ap-
proval
The spats are now worn to match the
waistcoat by the swaggerest men in town
Butt colored spats and waistcoat is just
about the snappiest thing the season has
yet divulged
1t will be noticed that the new long top
coats, while they have piait down each
side seam, indicating a skirt effect, have
no buttons upon the waist line of the hack.
In place thereof there is triangle done in
self color silk.
The more conservative men of the fash
ionable world pretend to see in this revival
of the models OF 1870 in mems wear forth
coming renaissance in short clothes, and
are deeply agitated thereover. Scratch an
opponent of knee breeches and you will
find parsonage with bad legs, take my
word for it.-Clothier and Furnisher.
