The PARISH PRINTING.

Ell &
While We are wholly averse TO
airing private grievances through
the medium Of . newspaper, get
there is in tho matter of the parish
printing on the conduct Of w. o.
Pipes and p. L. Mcpherson, in re-
lation thereto, O few facts which
tho public deserve to know, and
probably desire to learn.
Desiring to avoid the petty wraDg-
ling aud cut throat opposition which
almost always marks the course Of
rival newspapers and disturhs tho
quiet. loving public,I consented, after
repeated solicitation on the part oil
w. @. Pipes, to bid On the printing
so as to get the Jury to publish its
proceedings in both French and
English, for $4,000, and agreed to
give him The contract for the French
publication for one half in case it
was awarded me.
The large number Of exclusively
French speaking people in our
parish, and their oft expressed desire
to be Informed in that language of
the doings Of the public servants
prompted and Justified the belief
that the Police Jury would aceede
10 their wishes. Especially as that
body had in the past, of its own
volition, paid $4,000 for English
publication alone, and that too for
q less amount Of work, we consider.
ed that the price asked-which is
far below the legal rate-would
prove acceptable. [ accordingly
submitted a bid for $4,000, which
met the approvai bf three out Of the
seven members Of the jury OF their
meeting in July.
When the Police Jury met last
Tuesday, there being bu. two papers
here, it was naturally supposed that
there would be but two bids, and
every one knew about what they
would be. But when taken no there
we're bids from myself, Pipes and
MCPHERSON, who is Pipes partner
ind boon companion; and not at all
Strange TO say (for he was as iDti.
mately acquainted With the amounts
of onr bids and the understanding
between us as onrselves) the bid of
this worthy was for $3.50 for English

ous sconndrelism on the part of
Pipes and Mcpherson. Despite
Pipes protestation Of any knowl,
edge of McPherson's bid be failed to
manIfeet any d~ispleasura ~thereat,
bnt cohversed with him With q tri.
nmphant smile of pristine innocence
instantly after the bid was read.
But as the Police Jury ia not Civ
en- to countenancing v:llainy they
rejected this click bid and adjourned
for dinner. Upon reasaembslug and
after 8 full discussion that body
unanimously awarded me The con.
trsct for $4,000 for English pub,
lication only.
These are the plain. anvarnished
fac.s; the public are entitled to
know them, and this being done I
have no more to aay in print Oh the

Better Than Expected.

Contrary to general expectation
the Christmas trade has been very
good, and in many cases exceeds
that of last year. Many merchants
reduced stocks and cut down their
advertisement in anticipation of
duh trade, but here they made a
mistake, for they should have en-
large stocks, increased advertising
and have made money. If any
doubt this let them watch the
stores of the big advertisers, see
the trade they do, and the conse-
quent profits and compare them
with those who do not advertise.

A LEGEND OF NEW YEARS EVE.

One evening, the eve of an old years last
day,
Old Father Time, (as was his way,
When from buSy scenes he bad gone
away
Was deeply engaged in a sOliloQuy.
He'd been. thinking OF changes he soon
must make.
That soon, at his bidding, an old year
would take
It's leave. and a new in it's stead he'd
awake.
The silent thoughts became spoken, and
soon
Aloud 10 himself he began to commune;
And as Just then | CHANGED that way,
The following words | heard him say:
Its strange, yes strange, but still tits
true.
That there are vet so very few
OF those ca led people who give heed
To e. as way from them | speed.
Year in, wear out, without q care,
With needless, uncOncerning air,
Millions live on; from day to day
Throwing my precious moments away;
Uuheeding. miSuSing with gross delay,
With procraSIination, my hours which
they
Full we'll should use. Whilst all should
apply
Them elves to their tasks as my moments
pass by,
How many there are who, instead OF for
this.
Idly are using my moments amiSs."
With this he ceased talking, and then,
gently took
From hi, pocket an old aud much-used
pocket book.
Ia this book (Which we'd chronOmeter
CALI,
He kept an account of his period all.
Meath the heading Things Past" 1 saw
how he wrote
OF one of his children tie following note
Ninety three, fair father, to ne ever
dear,
To many thou st been a friendly OLD year.
Now that from all thou taKeSt, thy leave
Many are sad and DER thy loss greve.
And now that full well thy race thou hast
And all of thy duties full well thou hast
done,
All bid thee a hearty farewell in your
From whence thou canst never, no never
return"
Then he turned to a gage, all spotIess and
fair,
"a page upon which m pencil had e'er
BEFORE left mark, and began t write
Upon the same, so fair AID white,
Meath the heading Things Present, THE
following lines:
Hail! hail! dear daughter, now queen of
the times!
Thy first day S at hand, and soon thou
shalt r"ign
For many long days DER the earth's wide
domain.
with a one, eight, nine and four, now
name
Fair daughter, thee; and long may the
same
Live fresh In the minds of all as year.
Bringing prosperity and good cheer!
And may all find a friend, tried and true,
evermOre,
In thee, faireSt daughter, in the Ninety
four"
Next morning the bells with great merri-
ment
Were gladly proclaiming New Years
advent;
Ard In fancy l heard them amidst their
sweet chime,
Echo thr words of old Father Time:
And may all find friend, tried and true,
evermOre,
In thee, fairest daughter, in thee Ninety
four!'"
