The Gazette further, can see reason
why a sanitarium could not be erected near
the sulphur springs, and be operated with
success.
Is is very true that major Mouton has en-
bellished his place, and has put up comfor-
table and elegant bath houses, near his
spring. But The Gazette would like to see
cottages erected at the several springs, and,
n short, make our parish, what it should be,
what nature has intended it to be, sum-
mer resort.
The salubrity of Our climate cannot be
surpassed; the scenery is delightful, we are
accessible, by rail from all points of the
compass, and all that is needed to make
town a Mecca for pilgrims seeking rest,
creation and health, is to take ga move''
ourselves and let the world know of our
superior advantages for the attainment of
these enjoyments. Let ever keep before
this aphorism: ''Providence help those
who help themselves And we'll get
there Eli.

An ENJOYABLE Cruise.

a party of jovial spirits composed of
Messrs. P. b. Roy Aurellien Primeaux, Du-
pre- Huhin, c. Debaillon, and Nelson Eig
ginbotham, (known far and wide the
''rising syn of the West,") with Valsin Be
mott chief cook, and Bib Landry but

seen to it that the larder we'll filed, in
Gliding some spirits in case, only, that any
of the party should happen to run against a
stingarce.
The start was made made from: Bayou
Tgre, thence sailing throughout the Yer
million Bay to Southwest Pass, skirting the
coast to Chcn;ere Ia Croix on the Gulf,
where the party was royalty entertained by
Msssrs. SEVERN and Dcmas Landry.
From there the voyage was all along the
coast, and the stopping place at night was
wherever they happened to be.
During the cruise visit was made and an
inspection had of the Montague cutoff,
from He'll hole i'll Ecrmllion bay to the
Gulf of Mexico.
The Gazette started out to tell all the

joycd by kindred souls who appreciate a

Spring Waters.

One can scarcely imagine the large
amount of money realized from the sale OF
the several brands Of bottled mineral waters.
For the purpose of illustration take the
Stafford Spring waters-so thoroughly adj
vertised. To look at it has a clear limpid
appearance, similar to the eye as the Beau
sejour park spring water. We have no rea-
son to doubt that the Stafford water possess,
claimed, medicinal virtue. We know,
from partial analysis made that the Beau
scjour water has some,-Perhaps much
as the Stafford.
Again, the sulphur springs in Arkansas
are much sought, in word it is {: Mecca for
those suffering from certain ailments. Here
in Lafayette is spring with thick coat
ing of oily substance emitting strong
odor of sulphur. 1t is not impossible that
this spring. may possess much excellence
those of Arkansas.
Again, the Babin spring water is strongly
irnpregnated with iron, and perhaps other
substances that might give it much efficacy,
especially where iron is recommended.
There are many other springs in this vicini-
,y which if properly exploited might show
much value.
The Stafford water is put up in five pints
glass jars. These jars probably cost, at
wholesale, six or eight cents apiece. The
expense of bottling not cost much over
one cent per bottle, and transportation to
this place we would place at ten cents, max
ing a total of nineteen cents. What the
local merchant pays per bottle we have no
the means of knowing but the retail price,
we believe, is sevcnty-fve cents each, and
there are thousands of bottles sold at
this price throughout the country.
The Gazette can see no reason why the
various Spring waters of the Parish of La

Times are so dull that it is quite task to

Next Saturday May 20 there will be a
grand ball at St. Julicn's Hall given under
the auspices of the Five Landry Band. Mr..
ID. NJ. Landry, Manager, expresses his belief
that it will be success.
We hear of a ball that lasted until seven
o'clock in the morning. The long duration
it is claimed was due to the melody of the
music which was charming that the guests
even as the mouse which charmed into
e.c nifty by the sounds of the violin of one
of the musicians of old, were for while
freed from all earthly cares and were car

Pursuant to call issued large number of
our citizens met in the court house on last

stated the object of the meeting, and called
upon Mayor Campbell to act AS temporary
chairman. MIR. a. &. Ordway was called

After neral discussion it was decided
that the best course to pursue would be to

Iu accordance with the decision of the
meeting members of the old company who
were present got together and elected Mr.. w.

allow all those who desired to sign their
names to the roll of members, and thirty
