are informed that over 200 reserved

vance the company, will not play
here, but those of our people who
wish to hear Mr.. Levy, the
great cornetist, can do so by going
to New Iberia where he will appear
Sunday. Here is what the papers
say of Levy:
Jules Levy, the foremost cornetist
of the day, pre-eminejtly the master
of his instrument and without a rival
in his sphere, while waiting for the
procession to start, played dainty
fanfare. A mighty cheer went up
from the great crowd. Again the
silvery notes resounded, and as the
last tinkling notes died away there
came another loud burst of clapping
and cheers for Levy.-Nsw York
Herald, Oct. IS. 1899.
The coming of Patti was no
greater event in the musical annals
of New Orleans than the presence,
at this time, of the greatest of all
living or dead performers on the
Cornet-a-Piston,M Mr.. Jules Levy, his
fame is as wide as the world. Those
who have yet to hear of his wonder
full music, see his complete master
ship of the instrument, his incom-
prehensible manipulation of the
pistons, and superhuman embou-
chure and tonguing, will not hesitate
to concede his eminent right to all
the honors that have been heaped
upon him by all the musical judges
and critics of the age, as well as by
Kings and Queens and the titled
nobility of the world. Vieuxtemps,
Ole Bull. Thalberg, Liszts Jenny
Lind, Sontag, and Lagrange, all had
their rivals and competitors, but
Levy is without a peer, and stands
pre-eminently as the greatest of all
living Cornetists.-New Orleans

The Neglected Lamp in the Third
Ward.

BY J. T. ALLINGHAM,
There is lamp in the city
And I swear it is pity
To see how it has been neglected
By those who are paid and expected
To keep it in trim and repairs.
1t is fully ninety days
Since it has shown
The traveller at night his way.
And the wind it has blown
One pane of glass down;
And its chimney has fallen to the ground !,
And the burner and wick
That are dirty and thick
With verdigris and dust,
Now have become hard crust.
But I earnestly hope and trust,
That it has seen its worst,
And some of our. councilmen will see
Into this matter as early as can be
And have this lamp again lighted
In the future, don't you see.

Owing to the failure of Col. Lott
to qualify as acknowledgement
the Board of Pardons is tempered
in its functions for want of the num-
Der in its membership required by
the constitution. Geo. Gray, a con-

must endure his wrongful impison-

up his mind to qualify; an other

by the Board of Control of the Pen

HfcD Our REGULAR CessesDoaoeoe
Your correspondent was In
formed bysa staunch and reliable
that the impractible
of the BrIusserdville
roads, leading to this town. are in
such bad forms, due mainly to the
road overseers fault in not enforc-
ing work. These gentlemen are
paid Ten (1o) Dollars a month,
to see that the work is done,
and we leave it to the public to
testify to the ver:ty or our assertion.
It is not at all our aim, to inju-
riously or maliciously criticise, but,
when it comes to public welfare, we
find it a duty, and intend to act SO,
as long as we will remain the
Gazette's Royville correspondent.
We are satisfied that men of reliance
could be found in the 4th and sth
wards, who could attend properly
and conscientiously to their duties as
road overseers. We have no
choice. Ours, and the public's is
the man who can see that our roads
are made passable and practible.
Our sister towns, Carencro and
Scott, both can boast of Dramatic
Associations. It pleases US to see
that so much interest is manifested
by our friends of both towns, in
keeping together the harmony and
sociability that should exist in all
small towns. Why cannot we, Roy
Williams, organize similar
club7 Certainly, it cannot be the
lack of talent, as we are vain enough
to say that our citizens of both
sexes are intellectually capable of
becoming members of either Deba-
ting. or Dramatic organizations.
Come together friends, and be more
sociable.

AEEZZNG OF THE SCHOOL
TEACHERS.

to all teachers and superintendent
Of public instruction in the several
parishes in the State to attend the
first annual meeting of the Louisiana
Pubic School Teachers Associa
ton, to be held in New Iberia on
the a6th 27th, and z8th instants.
This meeting, from the arrange
ments made and the program laid
out, promises far reaching results
in the advancement of public in
struction, and hence, it behooves
every one, who can possibly do so, to
attend, for matters of much interest
to him-as a teacher-will be dis
cussed, and must rebound to his
profit.
BY the efforts of the friends Of
public education, better sentiment
is being created, and it is the duty
of all to lend helping hand,
50 that those efforts will be produc-
tive Of the results expected.
The disinclination, or indifference,
of the general public to join in the
aspirations of those who make
teaching a profession, for better
methods, has been a draw back to
the efficiency of our public school
system. BY taking part in every
step made to enhance the advance
ment Of public education, they
will strengthen the hands of the
teachers, at the same time creating
feeling of encouragement that will
give the teachers renewed conf
dence that their labors are appre-
ciated.
Then let us hope that that every
friend of our public school system
lrmake some personal sacrifice, if
need be, to attend the meeting, for
the larger the number present the
more will the management feel that
their efforts have met with public
favor.
An array of speakers will be heard
that for deep learning and interest
In the move, it would be difficult to
suapass, SO that every teacher will
have a .two-fold reason to attend.
First taking part in a movement in
which his avocation is blended,
and, second, he will listen to sub
iects treated in manner that must
prove instructive and interesting to
him in the future.
