Telephones.

We have a telephone at last, with its
Office in the Opelousas Hotel, at the cor
ner Of Court and Bellevue streets. The
liue to this place was completed and put
in working order in the early part of the
present week. The people Of Opelousas
can now speak audibly to any one at
Sunset, Carcncro, Arnaudville, Lafay-
ette, st. Martinsville, New Iberia, Able
vile, and possibly Franklin and Morgan
City. This is as it should long since
have been. We have bad a telegraph
limo in operation here for some years,
which has not given satisfaction. We
Will not venture to say more, although
We might particularizu it SO Inclined.
The telephone must prove more cOnve
nient, for more than one reason-one
being that the office is in town, and
therefore more easily accessible; an
other is that each person may speak
over it for himself-aDd that, too, di-
rectIy to the person aadressed-and re
ceive the answer Immediately. Wehope
the line will he extended at once to New
Orleans. AS soon as 1t was finished to
this place, it was carried to our sister
town Of Washington. Henceforth we
may have private word with our neigh
bors, dd Vlacitunt, and they with us.

Beau1egard.

The death of Gen. Beauregard re-
moves from the world of the living the
last really great and commanding figure
of the war between the states. He was
one Of the full generals of the Confed-
crate army and probably had not a su-
periOr among them, but fatal chain of
circumstances followed him which de-
MED him the opportunities that his ge-
MUS melited and his ambition coveted.
He had thoroughly mastered the art of
war. His matchless defense of Charles
ton and his brilliant victory at Manas-
sas proved it and the world at once re-
cognized in him the greatest military
engineer of the age and field COM
mander without superior. Superseded
at Manassas, transferred to the " est as
second in command, promoted by the
death of Albert Sidney Johnston on the
glorious field of Shiloh from bed of
illness, the chain of fatalities followed
him from the firing of the first gun at
Fort Sumter until the surrender with
Joseph Z. Johnston in North Carolina.
The south mourns him, however, as one
of her bravest and best and history will
accord him the position that his genius
merits and commands. -MOuroe Telc-

The knights Of Pythias Supper

From the interesting budget Of Ope-
lousas news furnished the n. 0. Delta
by its bright local correspondent, We ex-
tract the following account of tic ban
quet given last week by jefferson Davis
Lodge No. 90, X. of P:
Monday night the Knights of PytLias
celebrated their second anniversary by
a magnificent banquet at the Phiihar-
moDic Hall. Besides the elegant silver
and cut glass there was quite prOfu-
sion OF beautiful evergreens and choice
flowers woven into garands, horseshoes,
anchors, hearts, and every imaginable
design that couId please the most fas-
tidious taste. Those skilled in the art
of beautifying and placed on the deco
rations committee We're Mrs. X. V.
Johnson, Mrs. J. T. Skipper, Mrs NJ. r.
Wilson, Miss Alice Labyche, Miss Ga
brielle Hebrard, Miss Fannie Jacobs
aud Mrs. j. NJ. Ware. Supper was serv-
ed in courses. Everything was so skill
fully managed that all were we'll at
tended and had no time to become i'm
patient at the least delay. The souve-
Mrs were dainty little bouquets of nat
ural flowers.
Mr.. J. J. Thompson was called On for
a toast. lie arose galiantIy from his
chair and addressed the ladies. While
euiogizing woman, a casual glance OBJ
serving the many lovely faces cOyly en-
deavo!lug to screen themselves behind
delicate kerchiefs, went far to say that
they were well pleased with the toaster.
Mr. Thomas Isacks was next called.
He made few pleasant remarks. drank
to the success of the "Knghts," then
called Mr.. j. I. Skipper to redeem him.
Mr.. Skipper replied " If that's the
case you are lost man." nevertheless,
his words were eloquent, bright and
humorous.
DR.. SaizaD, although still suffering
from his wounded foot, was present and
gave very fine address on knights of
Pythias.' He was followed by our
judge, w. C. Perrault, on "Good of the
Order He handled the subject as
usual, with the utmost precision, and
hold Ii. listeners rpelI-Uound by Ills
beautiful language. During the short
discourse called for the champaign glass
es to be reflled and all drank to the
health of tho order.

The 0. F. T. Entertainment.

The Opelousas Female Institute is
very much in need Of an organ for daily
use in the school, and the teachers and
pupils are determined to have one. 1t
is highly important that all children
should be taught to sing, both as an ac-
complishment and as pleasure to them
selves and others. Singing is a pleas
ure- giving, health giving exercise, and
with the help of the new organ every
scholar will have an opportunity of
learning to sing.
Ar entertainment for this purpose is
now being arranged by the teachers and
pupils of this school, which will be given
on the evening of March 10th, at 1880
o'clock sharp, in the Institute hall. The
exercises will consist chiefly of new
play" The Woman's Exchange of Sinp-
kinsville,' dramatiZed from an article
in leading February magazine. This
drama Is serio-comic in nature, and
deals with Southern life 10 an Intensely
realistic and interesting style. A drill
by twelve young ladies, songs, tableaux,
ETC., will complete the program.
The small admission fee of twenty
five cents will he charged, and it is
earnestly hoped that the friends OF the
Institute will avail themselves of this
opportunity of spending most eDjoya-
BILE evening and aiding the school in it's
laudable undertaking. b

The Situation in Rice.

The n. y. Shipping and Commercial
List of Feb. 25 closes an article on the
rice situation as follows:
1t is barely six mouths since the crop
movement of the country fully began !;
if during that period there have been
placed 12O,000,000 pounds, at equal ratio
l2O,0OO,OOO will be required for the next
six months or total for current year of
24O,000,O00 pounds. Some few claim the
crop will he larger than above estimate,
but it isquite probable that any increase
of crop will be more than offset by in
crease Of demand. At equal ratio of
movement the present crop will fall
short of requirements fully 15,000,0 900
pounds, and that this is believed is prac-
tically attested by orders now going
forward for Foreign rice to meet the
deficiency.
We have stated some of these facts
before and if the planters aud factors
had the courage which should have been
derived from knowledge and intelli-
geDce, they would have forced the mill
or, and all other Intermediates between
them and the consumer, to pay much
higher prices than have been realized.
Rice, like any other product, is govern
ed by the law of supply and demand,
and so long as these are nominally
equal, the normal worth of domestic
rice is fixed at the point at which simi-
lar grades can be imported in foreign.
Foreign of quality suitable for tue trade
of the United States cost to-day, duty
paid, a to cents per pound. This is of
good grain, and preferable to the screen
ings of the Southwest. Without enter
ing in to detail, it is fact that ordinary
to prime domestic rice-line rice--is
richly worth at milling centers 3! to Al
cents per pound, or, say, $3.50 to 50 so
per barrel Of 1G2 pounds rough.
St. Landry democrat., 1893-03-04
a Rice Mill at Last.

Opelousas will have a rice mill soon.
The contract for the building of the
foundations has been awarded to Mr.. S.
NJ. Peters by Mr.. Thompson, of New
Orleans, and in two months II is thought
the mill will be in operation. We bid
the enterprise God speed, for had such
a mill been erected six months ago, it
might have been worth very many thou
sands of dollars already to our disap-
pointed rice planters. We now say to
them Be of good cheer; the near fu-
ture will be brighter. Topper has forcl-
bly, said:
Never grow Soomly, man with mind,
Hope is better companion than fear;
Providence, ever bcnignaut and kind,
Gives with smile what we ask with tear.
Look to the right;
All will be bright;

Lightning Remedy for Rheumatism.
One of their principal coopers was laid
up with Rheumatism until induced to
take Drummond's Lightning Remedy.
After taking two bottles he went to
work, and has since been making Forty

Presidential Amenities.

New York Recorder,
President t-Elect Cleveland acknowl-
edges the receipt from President Har-
rlson of a cordial, pleasant note iuyit-
ing him to dinner at the executive man
sion Immediately before his Inaugural
ton. This is the second courtesy of the
kind extended to Mr.. Cleveland by a
Republican executive. In 1885 Mr.
Cleve land was, few days before he as
sumed office, the guest OF honor at a
dinner in the White House given by
President Arthur. 1t was the very fin
est entertainment ever given in the ia
nous banquet room. Four years ago
MIR. Cleveland gracefully entertained
Mr.. Harrison who now returns the COM
plment. The two great parties, victors
and vauquisbed, will heartily commend
the observance of these social proprie-
ties by their two foremost chieftaius.
1t is genuinely American.
These amlable relations between the
outgoing and locomiDg presidents have
not, however, been steadily uniform.
John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jack
son, for instance, were such fierce and
bitter haters that Adams did not invite
his great successor to the executive
mansion, and declined to accompany
him to the capitol to be inaugurated.
Andrew johnson followed this prece-
dent when he refused to participate in
the installation ceremonies of General
Grant. These are among some of the
unpleasant episodes of our presidential
inauguratiOns.
