On account Of the heavy rain fall of
Sunday evening and Sunday night,
here in Thibodaux as was previously
announced. This was a great disap-
%pointment to many in general, and to
US in particular, as We were unable TO
use our free tickets, We are. howev-
Ell. conso.ed in the promise that they
will not fail to be here during the next
season. They left on Monday night
for New Orleans where they are exhi-
biting in the Audubon Park to i'm

Court in Houma sine die on last Fri
day morning. District Court for the
civil term will be opened in Thibo-

stand that the civil docket in this par
ish is a heavy one. and that Court will
have a long session. The presiding
Judge has fully recovered from his
long spell of sickness, is himself again,
and is fully able to stand the long sit

lenient, and considerate and not over
tax the judge physically.

g HOTNE NOTES.

The heaviest rain of tie season
poured down on last Sunday night un-
til near one O'Clock in the morning,
giving an over abundance Of rain fall.
accompanied by wind and lightning.
The firIaanent remained cloudy until
midday Monday when the clouds dis
persed and sunshine made It's appear
ance. The weather has since been
mildly. cold. with threatening rain
now and then. In consequence of
the heavy rain fall, hauling Oh the
sugar plantation roads have become
heavy and hard on the draft horses
and mules. The sugaI-llouse wills
tie, however. is heard Oh all sides.
and su%gar-rollIng Is still progressing
satisfactorily, it'll a few mi-haps here
and there,
On Friday morning of last week
Acadia lad the misfortune of break
ing the shait of the roller OF the front
mill, occasioning a loss ofneaIly three
days grinding. The mill was at work
again on Tuesday at 2 p. III.
ON Friday the oath ult. the return
plate of one of the mills Of abbey"
Refinery was badly twisted, and it
took the mechanics until Saturday
evening to repair it III condition 10
perform its duty.
The hydraulic press of Mr. Files
Foret on his "Felicia" plantation be-
low L%ockport, vas put out Of gear Oh
last Saturday, necessjtating a trip to
the Thibodaux Foundry for repairs.
The mill was at work again on Mon
day evening. Mr. Thomas Foret,
who came to have this piece Of work
done here reports sugar making pro-
crossing satisfactorily on Felicia.
The yield, although, not perhaps as
good as was expected, is, however,
encouraging. The sugar made is open
pan, and OF a superior quality.
"Waverley" up to last Saturday had
very nearly 1900 barrels of sugar put
up.
Laurel Grove OF Messrs Tros-
clair & Robichaux Oh Saturday last
had g%ranulated 100000 lbs of uga
put up in 1900 packages or barrels.
Messrs Trosclair and Robichaux pro-
pose 10 put up a narrow guage road
along the Bayou Lafod rche next year,
and are receiving encouragement from
those over whose property they intend
to build the road. If they meet with
no draw back, they will extend this
projected road as far as Labadievilie.
This is the right spirit, and we hope
that Others will soon follow aud do
likewise. This makes the fouItli road
now proposed for construction in this
parish. More later on.
As was announced in u last is
que Mr.. Tlleogene Calllouet on ST.
James terminated his grinding season
on last Saturday with an outInt Of
about $40 hogsheads of first class open
kettle sugar.

TUE political situation in New York
appears favorable to Democratic success
with the exception Of the proposed ma
chine nomination OF Judge Maynard.
The Albany correspondent of the Boston
Herald says: "The Democrats are al
most certain of securing eighteen seats
In the Senate, which is majority Of
two, and of securing at least sixty
eight seats in the Assembly, which
is a majority of eight. They will
therefore control both branches of the
Legislature. There is no opposition to
the candidacy of those mentioned now
for the other state Offices to be filled this
year. The nominees for secretary Of
state, comptroller, state treasurer,
engineer and surveyor are all men who
command the confidence of the people.
They are identified with the state ma
chine, but their candidacy will not be
made an issue The only doubtful
feature concerning their election consists
in the element Of weakness which the
presence of Judge Maynard on the
ticket will lend It," II is a strange
political obliquity and obtuseness, to say
the least, that induces the machine to
force Judge Maynard's nomination when
there are so many men of more ability
and less scandalous regulations There
are others. Why force him2

1T is pleasant surprise to man who
finds woman ready. IL is revelation
to find woman as prompt in the fulfill
ment of a promise as she is gracious and
sweet in making it. The standing joke
against the women is that they are never
ION time;' the standing charge against
them is that they take no note Of the
half hour divisions Of the day, which
men esteem so important, and that they
are generally oblivious and incorrigible
In the waste Of time. A writer on social
topics in one Of the newspapers infers
from this habit that woman is thoroughly
unreliable and that she will not be able to
marry. He says: "The time that she
states will be the minute that she
will be ready and when once this fact
becomes established, that girl will be
the one who will receive more mascu-
line favors than her more beautiful
ST ter, who has no scruples about max.
ing a man wait her convenience, and
who takes as matter Of course the
losing of trains and boats, aud who
feels no embarrassment whatever in
entering theatre after the play is
half over" Now promptness is not a
virtue, but habit. There is no
reason why a woman should sacri-
fee better habits for it. Women
are usually amiable, cool, gen
tie and sweet.tempered Men will
often fuss and fume to bolt dinner in q
way that would make an alligator blush
and then loaf two hours in idle restless
ness. That spois his temper. 1t is in
fact useless and annoying promptness
A woman's delay is caused by those last
touches to herself, to the household OF
to the children. Those are all import
ant and necessary She does not waste,
she employs time, as the results show.
