Columbus Day.

Friday, the 2lst, the 40Oth anniyersal.
of the discovery of America, was appro
prately observed in Opclousas. Ow
| ing to the lack of means to pay for th'
services of Il brass band, the cOntempla
/ ted procession of school children, fire
| men, members Of the various flatclna
| organizations, &c, had to be abandon
| ed, out the balance of the program was
successfully carried out, and the man
agement of the affair reflected mucl
/ credit upon those who had, with com.
mendable zeal, given much of their val.
liable time to the perfecting of its de-
dails.
At 10 Il. M. tie children Of the private
schools (the public schools were not in
SESSION., marshalled by their instructors
Mrs. Hayes and Misses Williams and
White, of the Opelousas Female Insti-
tute, Rev. Mr.. Dubourg and Prof.
Greene, of st. Mary's Academy, Miss G,
Hebrard, and Others-marChed to the
Court House with flags and badges tlut-
tering in the breeze and joy and antici-
patton in their hearts. The large court
room was filled with an interested au-
dence when Mr.. S. +. Read, master of
ceremonies, arose and leaC aloud the
Presidents proclamation recommends
ing proper observance of the day
throughout the country. A beautiful
selection by the fine orchestra under
the leadership of that finished artist,
Prof Il Mayer, sent the blood coursing
more rapidly through the veins of every
lover of music present and the frequent
rendition of the choicest pieces in their
repertoire formed one of tie most pleas
ant features of the occasion. The rails
ing Of the flag by the veterans followed
next, and then came the salute to the
flag and the singing of America y by
children and audience. The Grafton
was delivered by Hon. Z. North Cullom,
and, like all his oratorical efforts, it was a
chaste and scholarly one. A beautiful
ode, "Columbia's Banner" was read by
Miss Leola b. White in clear and dis
tinct voice whose modulations, though
affected in a slight degree by the trep-
dation natural on such an occasion,
were nevertheless almost perfect. The
Song of Columbus Day" by pupils and
audience, with the accompaniment of
the orchestra, was beautifully rendered.
Then came the address, The Meaning
of the -Four Centuries" which was read
by Mr. H. Garland Dnp,e, whose ring
ing and we'll modulated voice, distinct
articulation and easy and graceful ges-
lures marked him as the possessor Of
rare oratorical gifts. The exercises
closed with the reading, 10y Miss Stella
Truman, of an original essay. Progress
of Woman in the last 400 years." which
reflected much credit upon it's fair and
gifted anthoress, and was much ad.
mired.
In the afternoon, the Opelousas Fe-
male Institute had celebration of its
own, and the following program was ex-
ecuted in a most admirable manner:
Overture-sfisses Latour, White and williams.

normal nature to plant trees was the only
available resource. It seem useless to
plant trees on such seeming desolate plain
It seem almost hopeless to the seettlers to
plant trees enough to make an effective
barrier against the winds. In this i'm
ergency the happy thought occurred to one
of the settlers that if particular day was
agreed upon for tree planting many would
be prompted to engage in the work who
would otherwise fail to do so. The
suggestion was well received, day was
named by the state board of agriculture,
and the people entered upon the work
with such enthusiasm that more than q
million tress were planted on the day a2s
signed. To day the state of Nebraska cafi
boast of 100000 acres of trees planted by
human hands. Can we help to beautify
our state likewise? If we cannot we are
sloth to the call of nature, and usurper
to the laws of God. Let not the teachers
of this county be classed with those of o
negligent nature in not observing Arbor
Day not only this, but years to come. Be-
lieve me to be sincere in the work. I am
