A Suggestion.


We arc now entering Ipol 2 long
summer and sultry season. The travel
through our streets, the traffic which
must necessarily be carried on, and the
very great probability that showers of
rain may be few and far between,
should serve to adinDnish TIE people of
Opelousas to prepare for SUCH a cOnli-
tiop OF things. The first matter that
in our opinion should receive attention
is, the water supply. Good water and
abundance of if, is one Of the best pre-
vcntiycs Of disease. This We need not
dwell upon. The next thing is puri-
fled atmosphere secured by the use of
water. One moment of reflection will
convince any ons g4lo thinks that, when
the air is filled with dust, the lungs are
also filled with it 10y Inhalation. Thus
is purity of the air greatly impaired,
and although we have become accus-
toned to breathiDg it without giving
attention to it, the fact nevertheless ex-
lists.
We therefore suggest that one, or
two watering carts should be employed
to sprinkle the streets in the business
part Of the town. The expense would
prove d triEe compared with the good
results which would fall to the citizens
The merchants would he benefited
without measure in ways that we need
not mention. The carts might be re-
quircd to pass around twice, and often
not ofteDer than once day. Occasion
al showers wGgld render it unnecessary
to sprinkle tiis streets for tvG days or
even week. Such being the case, the
cost would be Insignificant.
Let each merchant and resident along
that part of the streets to he splinkled |
pay 30 much per month, apd it will he |
found that two or three dollars per |
month will suffice. Should more be re-
luired than could be raised in that way,
he corporation should supply it. 1t
seems to us, that, in view Of the very
great benefits the shop keepers and
merchants would derive from it they
night be prompted to iDaugurate the
'ra of sprinkliug carts.

The Opelousas Protestant Cemetery.

We are informed that an effort is soon
to be made by lady in this place to
raise funds 10y a voluntary contribution,
to have an iron fence placed around this
; long neglected grave yard.
! The location is beautiful and conve-
nient Very many of the best families
of the parish have their dead buried
there. Fences of wood have been erect
cd, but persons regardless of deceDcy,
of the sacredness of the ashes of the
dead, 90 there, steal away the fences,
and rob the graves themselves of the
bricks that have been laid over them to
mark their resting place.
Some time ago, we noticed the Tact
that the Police Jury of st. Landry to
restore and reinstate a lost record, caus
ed 10y the fire of 1885 passed Il resolution
declaring the cemetery and the acade
my lots adjacent thereto, to be the
property of the town of Opelousas. At
the last regular meeting of the Town
Council, the reclamation thereof was
formally accepted by the corporation,
and a committee of five was appointed
to examine and make report of the
actual condition Of the een;etery. with
such suggestions as they may deem it
expedient to make. Ofcourse the coun-
Gil will be perfectly tree to take or not
take action, just as it may consider ex-
pedient. The private enterprise al
ready mentioned, does not contemplate
any action on its part at present, furtb-
er than to permit certain work to be
done, which the lady alluded to, pro-
poses to have done, If possible by vol
uDtaTy contribution.
Every one who has eyer visited the
spot, can but feel that the evident neg
lect of it, should no longer he tolerated,
by people making any claims to civil
lization. we bid the christian lady |
God-specd in her undertaking, and in
doing, 50 confidently trusttlat the indi-
vidual contributions sue solicits may
be general, numerous and dutifully
liberal.

Neurological.

We are called upon to chronicle the
death of one other of our oldest all most
highly esteemed fellow citizens. Ma
poleon RobiD. was born in 1912, in the
parish of st. Landry. During part OF
bis life he aud his brother Francois,
who died few months since, started
into business as partners. They con-
tinued such through many years and
prospered. They accumulated a hand
some property, and at length concluded
to divide it and each set up planting
business for himself. Everything was
owned jointly. They made the division
themselves, without the interventions
OF lawyers, courts, or even nOtaries.
They have lived by the side of each
other, until Francois reached the age
of 50 years, and was gathered TO his
fathers in the spirit world. Napoleon
had been confined to bis bed long
time, and bad lost his vision. He knew
the sands in his hour glass were rapidly
running down, and that he had not
much longer to linger on the shores of
Time. But he lived like christian and
died at his residence on the Teche at
about 8 O'Clock a. NJ. on Sunday last,
the 5th day Of June, so years old. His
remains were laid to rest in the Roman
Catholic Cemetery, at Grand Coteau,
after appropriate and impressive re-
ligious ceremonies. \ very large con-
course Of people followed them to the |
grave in token of the profound respect |
entertained by all for him.
Thus QUO after another of our good /
people is taken from us. In the course
of nature all WHO yet remain must fol-
low them. Let us hope that when that
time comes, we may have it truthfully
said Of us, as it may be said of these de-
voted and venerable brothers. "They
lived honorable lives-useful in their
day and neutrality-suspicious. in their
vocations, at peace with all men, res
pected by all and died lamented.n Hon
ored he the name Of Napoleon Robin.
Ills aged and surviving wife who as
such, has followed aud lovingly accom-
panied him along the journey of a long
manllood's life, aud their descendants
have our syDpathies in their bereaye-
mCut.

Tall Oaks from the Little Acorns
Grow"

Our unsopListicated Falmcr friend
had but little conception OF the might.
results that were to grow out of til
happy thought by them conceived that
"the Office should seek the man and no
the man the Office" In their declara
ton Of purposes it doubtless appeared
to them as mere theory, inserted t,

matters demanding their attention
But see to what proportions it bas
grown in one little month nay no
go much, not one mouth? The people
| were first bcsieged, but in due course
they were relieved by recourse to the
| ballot box. At tie poll doors, and
| through them, very many who managed
to reach tllere-made their escape from
the wild hunt of the offices. But the
nsatiate demons did not stop there.
They fixed their eyes on a cOmparative-
ly few, who they presumptuously be-
licved were Or are, the favOrites of the
Governor, and at this very moment are
in eager pursuit Of them, while they are
taking refuge in the shadow of his ex-
celleDcy, walking under his huge legs
tremhlingly peeping about to find them
selves security from disAenerab!e de-
feat How cruel it is to drive and chase
80 many from their homes, iUto crowds
that throng about the great Babel OF
Baton Rouge. As fast as thought can
travel these relentless officers went to
Washington and set up all echoing and
resounding yell at the heels of one of
our time honored Senators--drove him
from the Capitol and gave him no rest
until he reached Baton Rouge. They
thought they had captured him but
maroble dictu; he made his escape and
returned to W. still these myrmidons
of the public service, daily chant his
name in the joint assembling Of the sap
iept, and exalted Purits.
The Offices OF minor Importance arc
also on the rampage and have merciless-
ly pursued many of our most modest
and retiring worthless, until they too,
have had to leave their comfortable
homes, the society of families and
friends, tc seek refuge under and be-
hind the ngis of the Goyernor. They
manage to escape now then and reach
their homes Oh Saturday whelc they re.
main long enough to take nap and get
on clean shirt. But whenever the
houest watc!l dog tarks at the front
gate, they fear tho ghost OF a cfiIcc is
after them, aud as soon as the iron horse
comes snOrtins by, they board the train
and HE with all possible speed back to
the place OF refuge. .s'h that this cruel
hunt were over. That the weary might
lind rest.

The 4th of July.

! From some cause this day has not
been celebrated in st. Landry for sew
eral years. We think it a great over
sight, censurable neglect. Various
causes might be assigned for this, not
one Of which. nor all of which together
would suffice to make it pardonable.
We are living under environments in
politics, in the form of our Govern
ments, in the enjoyment OF religious
liberty, which are the outgrowth of
prime causes. These localized aud
found indestructable expression on the
9Th Of July 17l6, and grateful poster
ity should annually celebrate the day.
Let there DC q meeting at the Court
House and let all those who should feel
an interest in it, adopt such preiimina-
ries, as may lead to becoming and ap-
propriatc celebration. Let us do honor
to the memory of the sires and keep
the embers of patriotism burning, and
kindle them into "a blaze, that may serve
to inform our children, to warm their
hearts, and to perpetuate grateful
pride. Appoint two Or more orators to
tell them of The deeds OF our forefath-
crs, of their heroic sacrifices, sulferiugs,
