The O. II. n. Entertainment.

The Opelousas Female Institute is very
much in need of an organ for daily use in the
SCHOOL room, and the teachers and pupils are
determined to have one. 1t is highly impor-
tant that all children should be taught sing
ing, both as an accomplishment and as a
pleasure for themselves and others. Singing
is q pleasure-giving, h~ealth-giving exercise,
and with the help of the new organ every
scholar will have an opportunity of learning
to sing.
An entertainment for this purpose is now
being arranged by the teachers and pupils of
this school, which will be given in the eve
ming of March 10th at 7:30 o'clock sharp, in
the Institute hall. The exercises will consist
chiefly of a nav play, t'The Woman's Elk.

GEN.

In ehronicling the death of this great
Southern General, the memories of the gfgan
tic struggle which revealed his powers, comes
back to the mind and the heart. While un-
der the stir of the emotions they evoke, Gen.
Beauregard stands out again in the light of
those days, the remarkable commander and
noble soldier who gloriously upheld q cause
he deemed right with a matehless skin and
an undertaking devotion.
In touching lightly upon that private life,
which we would desire sacred from all intru-
sion, it ~snffices to state what all men know !;
that Gen. Beauregard's scrupulous integrity
was the salient point Of a character where
simple rectitude and an unalterable fortitude
were admirably combined with o keen and
unerring judgment. In manner, dignifed
and high bred, Gen. Beauregard was
throughout his life, singularly attractive. In
the State of Louisiana may well mourn
her most distinguished son, and whatever
honors may be paid to a glorious memory
should be lavished upon his by his people
and his Staten. o.. Times Democrat.

many citizens to call a convention for the

or otherwise, as may be deemed best and
most ~expedient.
For varied soils, multiform crops, mild,
equable and healthful climate, Louisiana
may confidently challenge comparison with
any State in tbs Union. Capitalists here will
lind safe and remunerative investment and
the worthy immigrant a cordial welcome and
attractive home. The public advantages, but
q synonym for private interests, derived from
an industrious and frugal immigration, is am
ply illustrated lin the recent history of the
parish of Calcasieu. In 1880 the assessed
$6,457 ,43O. | greatly desire to impress upon
our people the advantages of inducing intelli-
gent settlers to take up the vast areas of
magnificent lands now lying fallow and
Astounding in undeveloped riches, and of the
Importance of developing the material and
agricultural possibilities OF our State, and
trust that all will actively interest them
selves in this undertaking. All parties, re-
CARELESS of all trades, occupations, or profess
sions, are indirectly, if not directly, interested
in the building up and development of the
States resources BY an intelligent and thrifty
immigration; and l earnestly call upon all
railroad and industrial enterprises to lend
their cooperation in this matter.

Capt. Tom feathers says the bottom of the
river at the Jetties is 1870 feet higher than at
New Orleans. In other words the river has
filled mp with sand and mud until the fall lis
growing towards New Orleans instead of to.
wards the gulf and the river is only pushed
out to tho gulf by the extreme height of the
water above. He says the river bottom has
filled up nine feet at Natehez since the Jet
ties were built, and the bottom of the river
all along the line Is gradually filling up.
With the removal of the Jetties and The
opening OF sufficient outlets he thinks the
river would again assume it's old time depth.
