Mis-. Hayes Female Institute will
open on Monday. We trust that sue
cess awaits it, We need first class
female school here, aud, in fact, can
not decently do without it. The girls
are here aud need culture just as other
places. parents love them here as 9th
ers love their children in other places.
There are means here, we mean money,
which cannot he better disposed of
than by paying teachers to aid in de-
yeloping the minds, expanding the in
tellectual faculties, and increasing the
facilities of the gills, for enjoying the
world aud of contributing to it's hap
piness Look around you and see the
obscure village of Evergreen in Av-
oyelles, beginning with only s or 10
scholars, under the supeEintendency of
Prof. Weir-to-d enrolling nearly,
if not quite 300 scholars. Evergreen
has not enough enhabitants to make
up taco good base ball clubs, but they are
a power when called to the support of
schools. We need snch people here.
Mrs. Hayes has toiled, struggled,
agonized for years, through duty, over
obstacles and In disappointment, still
she holds on like Jacob, inspired by the
hope that parents may see the advan
tages Of hone institution. Parents
be up and doing. Keep your daughters
at home where your tender care and
constant vigilance may be interposed
in your own safe way, to shield them
from the dwarfngs sallurements of giddy
strangers. Patronize the school and it's
curriculum will be enlarged Learning
can be made to shine as bright in
Opelonsas as at Shelbyville or Bards-
town, Patapsco or any other place. All
that is required is your tswn liberal and
fixed patronage. Our parish is little
empire 10 territorial area-its popula-
tion hardy, industrious and prolific.
The increase in it's wealth is some
thing remarkable, already amounting
to millions, and yet our schools are
ianguishing as though money made the
man instead of mind. Unless patron
lied, Mrs. Hayes cannot employ teach
ers, aud with patronage she can devel-
ope an institution of learning that will
be source of pride.

The Town Council.

The deliberations of this body Weefs
importantand interesting at it's meet.
ing on Monday night. There was 4
tolerably full attendance, in fact. we
oeiieve that with the exception of only
one member, all were present.
The comEEttees made brief and in
teillglble reports of the matters they
have been deputed to investigate, and
everything went on well. The mem
bers appeared to have an eye to busi-
ness.
Among other matters their attention
was called to was, proposition made
oy Mr.. Thos. s. Isacks to furnish
electric lights for the town. He laid
before the Cruncil some statistics and
facts, as we'll as contract made by
the enterprising town of Lake Charles,
all OF which were read by the Secretary.
The proposition made by Mr.. Isacks
was not acted on, further than to ap-
point committee of three to examine
and make a report as to the financial
condition of the town. This was pru-
dent, because, whilst the lights are
very desirable they cannot be furnish
ed without money. Mr.. Isacks pro-
posed to furnish arc-lights at 500. each
per annum, aud incandescent lights at
$l2 so each.
The whole TO cost the town annually,
81 500. Of course if the proposed
number of lights were to be increased,
there would necessarily be correspond
ing increase of cost to the town.
The lights we are now having, cost
us $500, per annum.
The assessment of town property
has been increased by Mr.. Swords
about 100000 This will add $500.
more to its revenues. So that, the
town can thus have $1,000, where 1T
has heretofore had only $500 for lights,
and the only question it now has to
consider is, bo,O it will raise the ad-
ditional $500, to make up the required
81 500. We do not think this small
sum should stand in the way.
Now, as we have before suggested,
let the parish contract to furnish the
lights for the courthouse aud the court
house square, which it can secure for
$40O, and our town will present
city-like appearance. We need five
arc lights in the courthouse and on the
square; they can be furnished at $50.
each per annum: $500, say then, that
in the offices of the courthouse we will
need eight incandescent lights at $l2.-
SO, and we win have the entire cost Of
all the necessary lights. Two of the
latter might go in the market house,
and thus terminate heavy expense
the town is now required to pay for oil
lights.
This matter deserves attention. We
are in great need of several improve
and this is among them.
