DeplOrable Accident.

A sad accident, the result of
practical joke, happened five miles
from Duson, last Saturday night,
which, only through the purest
chance did not result in death. The
particulars, as far as we have been
able to learn, appear to be these: At
the home of Mr.. Israel Prejean,
while this gentleman was away, were
several young ladies spending the
night with. Miss Arsene Duhon, Sis
ter of Mrs. Prejean. The young
ladies thought it would be good
joke to disguise themselves in mems
attire and frigi'ten Ralph Duhon,
the only man in the house. No
sooner thought of than it was done,
and after getting into disguise, they
silently stole out from the rear and
stepped OH the gallery and knocked
at the door. Mrs. Prejean an
swered tie call, sligl tly opened the
door and inquired WHO was t.ere.
Without answering tie young ladies
rushed in only to be met by Ralph
Duion, wi thinking they we're rob
bers taking advantage Of the alb
sence Of Mr.. Prejean to commit rob
berry, opened fire upon them with a
pistol, the first shot taking effect in
the neck of Miss Arsene Duhon, his
sister. He tried to shoot again but
the pistol, fortunately, would not re-
volve, else some of the others might
have been shot. After the first
shot, the girls began to scream and
made themselves known, and, Of
course, they all deplored the ending
of what they anticipated would be
real fun. DR.. O. A. Clark was
sum m oned, and after examinati on,
pronounced the young lady's wound
serious, but not dangerous. At last
reports the young lady was improv-
ing nicely.

Before the raising of the curtain
Miss Lea. Gladu, young lady of
fine musical skill, executed beau
tiful composition on the piano, en-
titled "La Marche Canadienne." Z"
: The play was exceedingly wei
rendered. The characters were
well placed and spendidly sustained
during the whole of the Perform
ance. Claude Latiolais, as chef
des brigands, was excellent, and
his lieutenant, George Melchior,
was perfectly at home and elected
merited applause. L.. c.. Sicily
played his part admirably we'll and
contributed largely to the enjoy
ment of the. audience. The little
Misses Odile Crouchet and Sarah
Brown, were very interesting and
are highly deserving of praise for
the intelligent manner in which
they played their parts.
Between the first and second acts
Mr.. H. VanderCruyssen favored
the audience with an appreciated
song which was we'll received.
Miss Antonio Melchior, a charm
ing young lady of Carencro, deliv-
cred a fine recitation. She spoke
in clear, distinct voice and ac-
quilted herself very creditably.
Miss Emma Falk, of this town,
generously volunteered her services
and sang two pretty songs. 1t is
useless to say that she was applauded
to the ,cho.
At the conclusion of the enter
tainment the young folks cleared the
hall of the chairs and enjoyed them
selves by dancing until late hour.
The music was furnished by the
Lafayette String Band, under the
direction of Frof. Walter J. Mouton.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
The digging of bitches, grading
of streets, repairing of sidewalks,
would be to this town, no luxury,
but a necessity badly needed.
Some public spirited citizen
took unto himself the responsibility;
and immediatly repaired the Lou

The moving of the Royville
lodging rooms caused some excite
ment in town Saturday.
The roads between this town
and Broussardville are nearly inn
practible. No drainage the main
cause of these boggy and impossible
roads.
Since Mr.. I-essin Broussard
has built that protection levee, pre-
venting the water from taking its
natural course, the public road
facing his place is forced to act S
ditch; thus causing the public, much
inconvenience due to the boggy and
deep holes, formed by the quantity
of stagmant water remaining. We
would like to see some action
taken concerning the cutting of said
levee, as in our Estimation, Mr..
Broussard has no right to prevent
the water from taking its natural
drainage.

Mrs. Abigail f1annen, wife of
John Hannen, died Saturday last
aged 6s years, and was buried the
next day from the Catholic Church,
and her remains were followed to
their last resting place by members
of the family and friends. By those
who knew her, Mrs. Hannen was
well liked for her many womanly
qualities. Kind of heart, generous
to a fault, she never permitted her
left hand to know what her right was
doing in dispensing charity. Her
life work is done, and. faithfully
done, and she has laid it down to

The American and French Cabinet Systeml
From the Saturday Review.

The American and French Cabinet Systems.
From the Saturday Review.
In France the president names his min
listers, but they must have the confidence OF
the chamber; that is to say, they are not his
ministers, but ministers Of q Huctuating ma
jority OF the deputies. This fact has made the
president as matter Of fact removable during
his term Of office, as was proved when M
Grevy. unable to get cabinet together which
had the confidence Of the chamber or to obtain
the consent of the senate to its dissolution. was
forced to resign, as If he had been an outyoted
prime minister. In practice the cabinet system,
the system OF ministerial responsibility to an
elected chamber, seems to require in order to
give 1t stability, permanent and even heredi-
tary head OF the state, who cannot be affected
by parliamentary fuctustions. The presi-
dental system as exhibited in the United
States appears to owe its stability and work
ing efficiency to the fact that the President ia
the master, and not the servant, Of the cabinet.
and that neither he nor 1t is dependent upon
majority Of the representative chamber nor at
general election. Tho attachment of the
French people to the republican form-perhaps
We ought rather to say their want Of attach
ment to any other-with their regard for per-
sonal ascendancy, for the democratic autori-
taire, suggests that they will find . stable eoui-
librium in remodeling their institutions after
the American rather than the English fashion,
that Is to say, in the qualified monarchy of the
presidential system, rather than in the uulim-
tied democracy Of our modern parliamentary
regime.

Her Nose Saved by q Strangers Kindn ess
From the Boston Herald.
A young man, who has lived in Canada, and
seen what Jack Frost can do when he is in an
angry mood, was walking across Boston Com
mon yesterday morning when the thermometer
was registering below zero. As he passed a
pretty girl and glanced q. her face he noticed
that the end Of hor nose was very white, while
the remainder Of it was very red. He recog-
nized the symptoms in an instant. The flesh
looked as II It was on fire, except where il was
SO white. and there il had the appearance Of
wax He promptly accosted the young woman.
Excuse me, miss, )" he said, but your face
Is frozen.
Frozen she said. what do you mean?''
II mean" he replied, "tha. your nose il
frostbitten, and very badly. too
Then he advised her to accompany him to a
drug store and have the frozen member at
tended to at once. She submitted without
question, for the young man talked % IL he
knew what he sas talking about
After getting her into a warm place he rubbed
the up Of tbs nose briskly with snow, and the
blood came creeping back into the chilled
arteries. The patient WINGED under the pain,
which could not have been greater il she had
had needles jabbed into every pore Of the
frozen flesh. She stood it bravely enough, how
ever, and when the circulation Of blood was re-
stored the young man left her In care Of the
druggist and his liniments, and went on his
way rejoicing that be had been able to save the
pretty girl from Disagreement for life.

RICHARD OWENS GHOST STORY.
In Which He Was Mistaken for tn


Sir Richard Owen used to relate a remarkable
ghost story, says a correspondent of the London
Dd'ty Neaos. In his early days, when he held
the post OF sergeon to the prison Of Lancaster,
negro died in the Jail, and post norton as
well as an inquest Was necessary. After the in
quest the young surgeon saw the body put in
the coffin and the lid screwed down, to be
ready for the funeral next day. Owen had at
the time been already attracted to the study of
comparative anatomy, and negroes heads were
not plentiful, so he made up his mind that this
one should not be lost to the cause Of science.
In the evening he returned to the prison with
black bag containing brick; from his of.icia,
position he had no difficulty in getting admit
lance to the mortuary, where the coffin lid was
unscrswed and screwed down again. During
this process the brick and the neeros head
changed places. The ground outside the prin-
cipal entrance to the Jail has q considerable de-
scent, and the time being winter, with snow
and frost. Owen had scarcely passed out when
he slipped and fell all his length; the bag went
from his hand, and the head tumbled out and
rolled down the paved way.
He jumped up. caught the bag and, follow
ing the head. clutched it just rs 1t finished its
career IN small shop where tobacco was sold
Pushing it into the bag again he vanished out
of the shop with all the speed he was capable
OF. Next morning when Owen was going to
his usual duties at the prison he was called in
by the woman in the shop where the accident
had occurred the previous evening. She
wished him to see her husband who was very
i'll.
BE had had, she said, fright the night be-
fore that caused him to look wild and dazed-
like. The man. it turned out, was a retired sea
captain, who had been in many adventures
among the West India Islands, when many
deeds were done that did not at the time re-
quire to be accounted for. Among these had
been the killing Of negro, in which he had a
hand, and the transaction had left a touch of
trouble on his conscience
After giving these details the old captain told
OF the horrible event that took place the night
before. He was sitting in his shop, all was
quiet, and it so CHANGED that he had been think
ing Of the negro, when suddenly he saw his
very head roll into the shop in front Of the
counter, and it was followed by the devil, all in
black. with a black bag in his hand. The devil
snatched up the head and both disappeared
through the earth like fash of lightning. The
description was perhaps not quite compli-
mentary to the young snatomist. but it was sat
isfactory SO far that it showed that his identity
had not been recognized.
