All Saints Day.

Az usual, Sunday last. All Saints day,
was observed by the Catholic OF this par
ish, by attending service at the church.
The congregation marched procession
ally to the cemetery after tho evening
service, headed by the priest who held
the customary service in the cemetery
and blessed the tOmbs while the large
attendance kneeling on both sides OF the
Main alley Offering fervent prayers for
the souls of those who Ina, 9 departed this
world. The cemetery had been cleaned
a few days previous and the tombs re-
paired, whitewashed and prOfusely de-
corated by floral offerings OF every kind
and description. in fact. We have never
before seen az many decorations as we're
seen last Sunday. Some Of these en-
blems of love and remembrance were
elegant, costly and original. which de-
monstrates that the dead friends and re-
latives though silent in their lonely
graves. are not forgotten. but held in
fond remembrance In the hearts OF those
who are left in this world. and once a
year, the customary visit and tribute are
paid to their silent abode. 1t Is really
pleasing and it fills the heart of every
christian with satisfaction, to behold
how tenderly and affectionately the
mother. the sister. the father and brother
will sadly wend their way TO thu graves
that enclose some dear and lovely rela-
tives or friends and offer their tributes
and gently kneeling at the head OF their
graves, Offering sincere prayers for the
redemption of their souls. Sublime and
beautiful custom.

The Profit On Coming Silver.

The Government is making money
right along on its silver purchases.
From the time the present silver act
went into effect TACT OF July IA. 1SW).
to the end of September, the Government
had purchased 62,O4s.l84 ounces Of pure
silver. OF this, something more than
3OOOO,nOO ounces have been coined into
silver dollars. Our silver coin Is ANAL
pamated or reduced In hneness to the
extent OF 10 per cent. Then TO SO,OOO.'
GOO ounces Of pure silver must be added
1900, 900 ounces Of pure "copper" which
makes 100000 ounces Of coin. II the
silver bullion is purchased with silver
dollars, weight for weight, the Govern
ment makes 10 per cent gross. But the
copper costs about one cent per ounce
and the labor and expense Of cointng Il
nerhaps two cents more on the ounce, q
that an expense Of say three cents PEI
ounre must be deducted from the 600,
oOO ounces Of profit which the govern
ment would make on the coming 82!W
MO ounces OF silver. BY our rule al
ounce Of pure silver should be wort
81 30 nearly. A profit OF 6.2O!O
ounces OF silver would equal $S,OOO.0
les. 2 cents an ounce, or $lS8yOo. lea'
inc a net profit Of say $7.sl4!OOO on coll
I inc 100000 ounces Of silver. This
q worth having. A like rule obtains

A special from New Iberia to the Pi.

Lanier, Don Caffrey and A. W. Crandall,
for the purpose Of harmOniEing matters
between the dual parish committees.
where such exist. arrived here to-day and
went to work. Since last November
there have been two Democratic parish
committees In this parish, headed BY
Judge r. s. Perry, of the old. and Cap
tain G. T. Cade, Of the new. Both COM
mittees claim to be the correct commit
tee, and that the other is bogus.
As both OF these committees refused to
accept any Of the propositions made tn
harmOnixe matters. the subcommittee
ordered primary election to be held on
Saturday, the 2lst inst, to elect new
parish committee.
The committee has gone to Calcasieu
parish to harmOnixe matters in thai
parish, where dual committees exist
Is this not another rebuke to the arbi
trary measures adopted in this parish b,
the politicians and swallowed by tn
people? They will undoubtedly remem
Der in the future how they were abuse
by the politicians for personal interest
Will the politicians insist in saying thu
had the right to do what they have don
and it was demOcratics Except IL

Not a Running Vino.

For long distance running from a
battlefield Rosser's famous cavalry
charge away from the battle Of Cedar
Greek is without parallel in history.
Rosser had organized his brigade and
called 1t the Laurel Brigade" Each
man went into the battle with sprig
of laurel in his hat. When they came
out they didn't care whether they ever
saw another piece Of laurel again. All
they wanted was to get as far away
from that field us possible. and most OF
them did. Some OF them ran for three
days. and 1t took Rosser two weeks to
collect his brigade. When he reported
to General EARLY for orders. old Jubal
looked at him minute and then
said:
? 'Rosser. you ought to cha nge the
name Of your brigade. Tho laurel is
not a running vine"
