Jewels in the Grave.

The largest amount of jewelry known
to be in a single grave is said to have
been buried several years ago in Green
wood cemetery, in Brooklyn, n. Y.
The undertaken who had charge of the
funeral protested against it, but was Sc
verely snubbed for his interference.
The family had its way, and in that
grave are fully five thousand dollars
worth of diamonds, with which the
body was decleed when prepared for
burial. Sometimes families who desire
to bury their dead in the clothing worn
in life-in evening or wedding dresses,
for instance-substitute less costly
limitations for the iewelry worn in life,
partly from motives of thrift and partly
from superstitious fear that any thing
taken off body when it is ready for
the tomb will bring i'll luck to future
wearers.-Je Weekly.

The JEFF Davis Monume ent.

Our readers are no doubt aware that
great movement has been inaugurated
to raise becoming monument to Hon.
Jefferson Davis, the remembered leader
in the Confederate struggle. The pub
lie journals ltavo made repeated an
nouncements of the projected purpose
and on the 18th instant the movement
was Systematically formulated. From
this time on, local organizations may be
formed to aid in its consummation. St.
Landry furnished many ardent patriots
and willing soldiers during tie mighty
struggle led by Mr.. Davis, who still feel
a just pride in the part they took in that
struggle. He for our sakes, as he be-
lieyed it, and for the sacred principles
Of republican government, became os-

over the almost fa,cical drama of our

spleDdor of his native grandeur.
:, He deserves a monument a our hands
and we trust our people will organize

For the last FIVE. years. Prof. Evans
has been teaching private school at
the old residence Of DR.. Tatman, east of
the town of Bayou Chicot, and it has
been custom with him to have a pub
lie examination of his pupils.
The examination took place this year
on Friday, tue 18th inst. The atten-
dance was unusually large. The day
was propitious. Notwithstanding the
storm of the preceding day.
The pupils distinguished themselves.
Thirteen were awarded certificates of
merit, The examination was partici-
pated in by outsiders, and Of course was
better calculated to shOW the prof.
cheney of the scholars than had it Eeep
conducted entirely by the professor
Several of them gave recitations in

markabiy well. They had started to
the school totally ignorant of the Ian
guage, and showed by their propuncia-
ton and familiar use OF words that
their attainments in the few months.
they had attended the school were as
tonisiliGg. The parents were delighted
with the progress they had made and
expressed themselves satisfied. At $50
Judge Cullom addressed the audience,
and Immediately thereafter distributed

He, the Prof, then announced the
closing OF tile school ekeroises, and said
the audience could amuse themselves in
the way best pleasing to themselves.
The hint was understood. music soon
greeted the ear and The young folks

The 4th of July.

The ever glorious 4th Of July may be
| justly regarded as the resurrection OF
Liberty from the grave which had been
made by tyranny and oppression-the
emancipation of mankind and the con-
sequent and necessary regeneration of
Nations.
Taking this view of the event, we
should rejoice with exceeding great joy.
The homage demanded of our forefath-
ers by the phantoms of crowns tlouted
before their visions, by hereditary as
sumption, were on this day denied their
authority, and set upon the defense of
their arrogant pretensions. In con-
sequence of the defiance then hurled in
the face Of monarch, and so heroically
and brayely maintained to the end, the
hearts of our sires were agitated beyond
our present powers of just appreciation;
their farms were desolated hy the fires
of war, and our land bathed in the best
blood that was ever shed to consecrate
a human cause. We should never neg
lect to celebrate the anniversary Of the
4th of July, A. d. 1776, as a day sacred
to every true American, to every lover
of human rights and political liberty
wherever found. We should hold it in
everlasting remembrance, as radiating
and circulating the light of freedom and
of joy through the hearts of all Repub-
llcaus, and terror through those of ty-
rants.
Our people should assemble, and if no
one will speak, some one should at least
read the Declaration Of Independence,
to revive recollection of its existence.
Let US not by common consent consign
it to oblivion, there to sleep with the
Polish Manifesto and the Mccklenberg
Declaration. 1t is the voice of Free
lom and should be heard.

New Iberia Enterprise: The follow

New Iberia Enterprise: The follow
ing article is taken from the New
Delta, the leading anti-lottery organ,
and is clearly a bid for the negro vote
to help defeat the lottery revenue
amendment. Taken in connection
with the fact that every Republican
journal in Louisiana is anti lottery, and
going back to last August and quoting
a resolution, adopted by the negro
farmers alliance in session at that time
in, Alexandria, asking "the voters of
this State to repudiate the lottery" it
is very evident that the anti-lottery
chiefs intend to use the negro vote in
deciding a question that few months
ago they. refused to submit to white
democratic primaries. In this event,
there is but one alternative left to the
mass OF white voters of this State and
that is to range themselves in solid
phaianx against few faDatical lead
ers who for the sake Of Office would
precipitate strife and discord in the
Democratic ranks by again making the
negro vote a bone Of contention in
politics. Il
