Prize Fighting.

A valued citizen sends US tue follow
ing:
The disgraceful practice Of having
prize fights on Sundays has not abated:
At the last, which occurred on the Esd
inst, one of the combatants received a
blow in the region of the heart which
"laid him out and came near proving
fatal. 1t is reported by those present
that it was quito while before he came
to, aud then he was limp as rag for
some hours afterward.
1t may be wicked to say Its pity
he was not killed." but if his death
would put an end to such barbarous and
degrading outrages, we don't know but
that it might under these circumstances
be invoked.
Prize fighting is at all times disgrace
full, but when carried on on the Sabbath
day it becomes even more reprehensible
and it is tue duty of all good citizens t.
JON i'm movement to frown down the
evil practice and stamp it out.

This is of Interest to all Rice Plant
erS

| In recent circular letter Messrs. Dan
Talmage's Sons, New York give infor-
nation interesting, edifying, and en-
couraging. They claim that the pres
ent crop was badly marketed. BY un-
due haste on the part OF comparative
minority, the pace was set, and the big
majority had to fall in with the situa-
ton.
"The supply was not equal to the de-
mand of the United States aud never
has been, therefore, we have claimed in
our public utterances through newspa-
pers and by private correspondence
with planters, that Domestic rice was
worth as much as Foreign. Prices,
however, are down and buyers so ac-
customed to ruling rates past six
months that it is doubtful whether any
material advance will be secured this
season. We are, however, hoping and
expecting higher prices will be netted
on the next crop. These hopes and ex-
pectations are based W On promised
improv ements of Railroad and other fa-
cilities for handling the crop; (2) more
care in selection of efficient agents that
goods may be marketed to better ad
vantage, \Oi anu uiOSt I'LL pOEIdut Ol dits
greater deliberation among planters
generally as to the selling of their crop,
especially in the earlier part Of the sea-
son.
"Think of this-it makes difference
of 25 to 80 per ceut in monetary results
on crop whether there be forcing Of
sales or feeding of the demand. We
realize that planters cannot do what
they cannot do, but we know that there
can be general spirit of cooperation
by which each one can strive so far as
in his power, to get something like fair
value for bis product. Before parting
with his product, every planter ought
to write to some one thoroughly posted
onthe situation in rice the probable
crop; cost of Foreign Rice possible ef
feet of competitive articles, and ten
dency of market for the season. With
this information one may determine
values and best course Of action.
"Outside of the season, which, of
course, is beyond human control, every
thing depends Oh good seed, careful cul-
tivatiOn, timely harvesting, and best of
service in milling and marketing. We
urge the practice of all proper and pos
sible economies in culture and high
aims toward excellence Of product,
which together with Intelligent market
ing, will surely secure good, it not rich
rewards for labor expended"

The following account oftlle tragedy
at Rosa mentioned last week is taken
from IA special from Alexandria to the
N. o. Times Democrat, dated April 81 ::
The news reached here to-day from Rosa
Station, st. Landry parish, of the killing OF
Russell Heath and the wounding of bis two
brothers. John and Owen Heath, by Charlie
ton w. Havard, aged fortythree years. The
Heaths were all young men. From q letter to
Sheriff Stafford the following facts were
received: The sheriff is q cousin OF Mr..
Hazard.
Mr. Havard had heard that Owen Heath
said that he intended to whip him the first
time he saw him. Yesterday morning Owen
Heath came to his (Havard's) store, and in
the dispute Havard shot him, but, as the
surgeon pronounced the wound not fatal,
Havard gave bond and was returning home.
At the sanie time he heard that Russell and
John Heath said that they would kill him on
sight. Havard saw the Heaths coming in a
buggy toward him. He got out of his buggy
and gave the reins to his cousin, Mr.. Gala
ham. Hayarl went over in the field to pre-
vent meeting tho Heaths. Callahan continu
ed driving until be met the Heaths aud tried
Lo prevail upon Them not TO 20 down the road
as they would meet Hayard, but they said
they wanted to kill him and went. They con.
tiuued their way opposite to where Havard
rot out Of lis buggy. They dismounted aud
went toward him; when they got to a lence
near 10 where Havara was, Russell Heath
poked his deuble-barrelled shotgun through
tbe fence aud attempted to shoot Hayard, but
he was too quick with his Winchester rifle
aud killed Heath Instantly. john Heath then
grabbed his brothers shotgun, when Hayard
sho: him through the breast. 1t has not been
asccrtainsi whether tho wound is dangerous
or not 1Iavard left Tor Opelousas to give
himself up. All parties concerned ars respect

The Catholic Centennial,

n. O. Pcayune
The imposing and magnificent cere-
monies with which the centennial Of
! the Catholic Episcopacy in this city
was yesterday celebrated, interesting
as they were in themselves, acquire ad-
dtional Importance from their inti-
mate connection with the history of
| Louisiana.
The discovery and settlement by
! Europeans of the white race, of the
! Western world is certainly the most re-
markable and momentous event in the
| history of the modern age, if not in the
entire social annals Of our planet. The
! existence through numberless ages of
an entire hemisphere of our earth, which
I was still entirely unknown to the peO-
pie of the other half, is one of the most
, astonishing facts that has ever been Of
fered to the human comprehension.
More than a thousand years before Co.
lumbus, Claudius Ptolemy, the Greek
astronomer, had written voluminously
upon the nature and movements of the
stars, but there was absolutely no
knowledge Of the vast regions with
their inhabitants which lay in the

the 175 years since Bienville marked
out the plan Of his infant city, with
church in the midst the 100 years that
have passed since the Catholic Episco-
pate was first erected in New Orleans,
are all events of the utmost importance
in the history of Louisiana, 10 in the
history of religion, and they were fit
ting!y celebrated here yesterday. In
the heart OF a metropolitan city OF a
quarter of million people, an assem-
blage of the highest dignitaries Of the
Catholic Church in the United States,
men eminent for their learning and
piety, joined in honOring the memory Of
those small but most eyeDtful begin
nings of great State, great city, a
great church and grand and enligbt-
ened, free people. 1t is wise and most
useful to remember the beginnings of
greatness, when the birtlI, however
humble, was honorable, and the emf
nent prelates of to-day have done well
to pay due honors to the memory of the
pious and heroic men who planted the
foundations of their church upon the
muddy margin of our great American
river. They made up notable assem-
blage, and their gathering marks an era
in the progress and civilization of this
city and State. Who will venture to
picture the grandeur and importance of
the city of Bienville when their success
sors shall assemble here to celebrate
their second centenary :? The vastness
and splendor of the prospect are too tre-
meudous to be expounded by uninspired
DrOnhpcy
