We've got orr new postmaster or #
least he has the appointment-an it's
d colored man. Harry Bloch. While
the appointee Is a Republican, it could
hardly have been solely on that ac-
count that he got the office as several
rood white Republicans, whose com
potency, and claims on the party, were
at least ais good as Boehs, Wrresappii-
cants for the position, and doubtless
each had more or less Influential backing:
but there may be something 10 the fact
that Bloch had the recommendation of
District Judge Lewis which the others
had not and maybe, also. IN the eyes
of the powers that he 10 Washington,
ID. c., Bloch had another recommends
tion which the others had not, aud
that was his not being a white man
Many instances have occurred recently
in the S0utls where negro posfmasters
have been crammed down the throats
Of the people, although there was no
lack of suitable material to select from
among white republicans, but the pre-
dominant disposition appeared to be @
shumiliate the Southern people from no
other motive than pure 'scussedness.
While Bloch is d republican, he has
never made himself particularly OBJ
noxious as q politician, aud bears g
favorable reputation as Il citlzen--but
We respectfully suggest that le is not
the only man ID this parish, nor ey els
the only republican. capable of filling
the Office of postmaster Of Opelousas.

The ME ask Ball.

The ball gotten mp by the Committee
Of IWenty i've, and which was given
at Perrodin's hall, on Tuesday night.
was decidedly consnae il ,falloit. The
attendance was large and every one
seemed not only IN ball costume, but
also in ball humor The desire for
such amusement having been kept in
strict allegiance by sense of religious
duty through the Lenten season which
had just then terminated, became so
intensified that when penitence ended,
pleasure abounded.
The ladies were superbly dressed
their hearts surcharged with all that
makes their conversation edifyipg, and
their gracefulness all that can illustrate
the poetry of motion-served to inspire
the gentlemen with affability and polite
attention. As the ladies were masked,
and humor abounded, curiosity was
aroused by the desire to identify the
charming puzzling qnizzers. Where
every one was so handsomely dressed,
Il it would not be becoming in us to at
tempt discrimination even if we knew
where to begin.
The music was of the first order
The fair performer has long since been
distinguished for her art, versatility and
taste, and her performance on the oc-
casion was all that could have been

The purpose too, for which the ball
I was given, contributed to animate all
It will be remembered that the ladies
of Opelousas bad resolved; with all the
! vim of womanhood, to raise funds to
build public school houses in the town.
i It was well understood that it was for
this the entertainment was given. Oh
course gentlemen would not refuse. or,
hesitate to patronize such an object,
when lovely woman makes the appeal.
The whole affair was attended by
success of one kind or another. Fol
example, 10 one or two instances, we
i heard OF young men making love to the
beWitching unknown maskers to whom
i their curious fancies had taken wing,
only to discover that q dear little sister
/ had captivated them. We hope no one
may call upon us for names, as We
would dislike to expose to husbands
the successful coquetry of their charm
ing wives, even when practicing theil
innocent Wiles on their own dear
brothers.
But we must be permitted to say
right here to the young men who, to 8
great extent, are not sufficiently adj
vanced in life to have learned some
/ facts that are more or less familiar 4
the caravan of benedicts, that whenevel
woman chooses to practice her arts Of

mask, just as well as without one;
that she can make herself unknowr
with equal facility, masked or not.
