The New steamers.

The Vermilion, Fire Company No. n
new steam fire engine, having arrived
by the last trip Of the Barmore. Oh
Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock sht
was given a public trial. The senEmt
IS handsomely nickle- plated and is an
elegant piece of machinery. She was
built by the silsby Company, of Seneca
Falls, N. Y, will carry 100 pounds o.
steam, has two leads for 25-inch hose
and a 4-inch suetion2 5 feet long.
Steam was raised in seven minutes,
the engine being stationed at the well
in Madeleine Square, where the first
test took place. The first trial was
through loo feet'of hose, I-inch nozzle,
go feet; second trial, same distance
and size of nozzle. $50 feet; third trial,
H-inch nozzle, 100 feet of. hose, 235
feet. The well being exhausted in
about twenty minutes, the engine was
taken to the bayou bank in F. +,
Fefray's yard, and with 100 pounds of
steam through 400 feet OF hose she
threw an inch stream 220 feet and
deluged the street with water. The
hose was then put out on each side Of
the engine in two leads of 200 feet
each, and through a finch nozzle
she threw two streams 200 feet. "A
Siamese connection was then attached
to n lead of hose, dividing the water
into two separate lengths of hose, and
the other lead was left undivided, thus
making three streams, and with a
9-inch nozzle she threw 1853 feet. An
the hose was then coupledinto one lead
of $50 feet and carried down Main
street to Port, out Port to opposite Du-
puy's store, and through a 11-inch noz-
zle she threw 145 feet. On THURSDAY
she was given a little trial again, dry
the fire well in few minutes.
The engine, we believe, comes up
fully to the contract specifications,
and the fire boys eef No. i have Just
reason to be proud of the pretty engine
they have SO long labored to possess,
and we believe all q citizens share
their pride. With a little more hose
and a few more wells and improved
water facilities, We will have with our
steamer, hand engine and hook and
ladder truck q perfectly organized de-
Tense against fires. 4

Miserable Wall Service.


While the Times Democrat has Of
|Fate been expanding its sherculean en-
ergies in expounding the great car
dinal truths of Democracy that lie in
the shining folds of the lottery amend
ment, it has found time occasionally to
expose the wretchedness of the mail
service in the South and this State in
particular.
We have a case in mind just now
which most beautifully illustrates the
miserable annoyances to which bust
ness men are subjected intoonsequence
of fthe inadequacy and carelessness of
the service. On Friday, July 18th, an
important package addressed to the
publisher of this paper was deposited
in the p~ostofice at Rayne, twenty-five e
miles from here. In the usual course
of events it should have reached Able
vile on the next day. Itsdid not, nor
even the day after, but it took until
the next Saturday, the 18th, before
Uncle Sans postal agents could get it
here. And worse than that, when it
did'arrive, being SO long on the road it
wasa1seless, as it was printed matter
ordered in a hurry, and We are conse-
qusntly losers in a double sense, losing
the job and the worth of the work.
An exciting little scene. We are told,
occurred last Wednesday morning at
Wise's landing. A certain colored gen.
tlemen had invited one who was the
admiration of his heart to take in the
the 4'scussion" with him. She assented
and his heart was light. A change
passed over him, for ON the morning of
the excursion he did not appear to fulfill
his engagement. Being all ready for
the days enjoyment, the other party
went down to the boat when the time
for its departure was drawing near,
and there to her great indignation she
saw him standing idly but joyfllly by.
He caught her eye, but avoided it.
This was enough for her keen -appreci-
alton of coon nature. He had forsaken
her. Removing her glove from a No.
s Rand she went up to him and thus
addressed him, "What is you doing
heah," and at almost the same moment
an old citizen who was crossing the
bayou bridge, prompted by a familiar
sound, turned to look for a maiden
washerwoman with upliftsa battoir.
It was over. The gentleman walked
the gang plank with his mouth in his
hand, and she who was disappointed
has not yet been arrested for unpro-
svoked battery.

1t strikes us that the Legislature of
this State should take some steps to
avail itself of the benefits of the recent
law of Congress authorizing the organ
ization of naval militia. This would
provide a very effective e of local
as well as national defense and ehthuse
our young men with aproper martial
spirit. All that is necessary is for the
State to pass an enabling militia act,
and then the appropriation made by
the general government will besavail-
able. Thus far oily New York, Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island have APP
piled for their naval allotments of
money. Massachusetts, has an organ
ization of ,238 1isn for coast defense.
We hope the next Legislature will give
this matter the proper attention.

While ia Alexandria last Sunday
We overheard a gentlemen from that
place remark "the girls from the
Attakapas are much prettier and
dress more elegantly than those of
Alexandria" We agree with the
