Eureka.

We trust our citizens will not neglect
to patronize the excursion Of tlIc Eureka
Brass Baud, on Tuesday evening, the 22d

under difficulties to perfect itself, aud is
now credit, not only to our city but to
southwest Louisiana, 'Fhey hrve ever
been ready to respond to all appeals for
their assistance to every worthy object,
frequently donating their service, and
never charging more than q reasonable
sum. This is the first time for long
period in which they have asked your
patronage, and now they propose to give
YOU value received. We trust the boat
will be crowded the more the merrier !
and we are willing beforehand to guaran'
tee everyone who patronizes this eNeur'
sion grand, good time IN fact It will

The Hardened Criminal,

The wise man says, "IIe that being
often feproved hardeneth his neck shall
be cut off aud that without remedy"
Notwithstanding the fact that a nnm-
Der Of wheeImem of this city were arrested
only two weeks ago for riding their nois-
less steeds upon the sidewalks (cOwpaths)
of this city and each paid a fine into the
city treasury, prominent officer of the
recently organized wbeelmeu Of this
place has again come to grief
1t seems that the person above referred
to was riding his wheel in the suburbs
of the city something like IL mile and a
half from the pOstOfiice and supposed he
was entirely outside Of the corporate linn
its of this city Of magnificent distances.
He was mistaken and when he assayed
to leave the middle Of the country road
and travel along the cQwpatll at the side,
he was observed by some solitary inhah-
itant Of the unfreguented district, and
the next morning he was invited to call
at the mayors office and pay another
fine This, Cashier Williams, (for he
was the culDrit,) refused to do and Tho
case was set for further hearing.
Many Of the laws Of our state and oi
the city ordinances are violated daily
with impunity 1t seems to us very
much like strainiug ata gHat and swat
lowing camel: this rigid enforcement
Of the bicycle ordinance while open anC
notorious gambling, houses Of prostitn
ton, numberless violations Of the liquol
law, the running at large of dangerous
animals and many other things pass un
needed by our city officials.

We had the pleasure last Tuesday OF
witnessing the starting up Of the Hansen
shingle mill, which was burned some
months ago. Quite number of citizens
were present and all were interested in
the new and improved machinery with
which this mill is equipped.
1t is not to be supposed that every
thing would be in perfect running order
Immediately. but when the great wheels
began to revOlve aud the blocks fed
to the machine by burly and muscular
cOlored man, who is an adept at the bnsi-
ness, there was q perfect stream of
shingles dropping down below into the
chutes where they are packed into
bundles. Capt. Hansen informed us that
his mill run at its full capacity, would
have a capacity of 250,OOO shingles daily.
The Captain further said that he had A
large number of orders on hand, but had
plenty logs for his present necessities
and was providing for the future at every
opportunity.
One of the principal things is to keep
on hand sufficient supply of logs to
supply the capaciOus appetites of these
wonderful shingle machines. Mr.. Poe,
proprietor of the other large shingle mill
here, has expended a large amount of
thought and large sums of money on this
part of the trade, and now Is the owner
of thousands of acres of cypress timber
and proprietor of the Swamp Angel, the
log boat which drags logs from places
some distance from the shore, to the
river where they are RATED down or up.
as the case may be, to the mill.
Captain Hansen is the owner of much
timber and has not few contracts for
the delivery of the logs therefrom.
The shingle interest in this city is one
of the most important and we shall have
more to say of it in the future,

THE SOUTH POLE 10 Be INVESTIGATED.

DR.. Fred A. Cook, of Brooklip, j. the
originator Of and viii comma command an expe-
dition to the south sea and proposes TO
penetrate further south Of tho antarctic
circle than human beings have vet dared.
While many expeditions have organized
and vast sums have been expended with
more or less success by Americans and
Epglishmen, as well also by French and
German payigatoEs with more oE less
successful results, the region south Of
the antarctic circle is . sealed book and
tlis expedition will be looked foFward
to with great interest. DP. Cook was
the ethnologist Of the Peary expedition

that the south polar discoveries will

made a more favorable impression than

Tho absence Of the editor Of the Echo,
in attendance upon the Press convention
nearly all Of last week, caused the omis"
sion of the following card OF thanks.
We have apologized to several OF the
ladies of the Guild for our delinquency,
and now publish their card Of thanks,
A CARD OF THANKS.
The ladies of the Guild Of the Church
of the Good Shepherd desire to extend
their hearty aud sincere thanks to all
who 30 generously assisted In the recent
bazaar. Where there are SO many who
are conspicuous for their efficient services
and valuable contributions, it would be
making inyidiOus distinctions to indi-
vidualiZc, and it seems impossible to
mention all, emitting none, so great is
the number. The Indies therefore tRkO
this means af thanking each mud all
whose services and donations contributed
to make the bazaar, in every particular,
grand success, and without which the
affair would have been q future.
Cordially,
The LADIES Guuyp or THE CHURoH Oh

One of Harripan's Best.

The original "Old Lavender" the famous
waterside character discovered by Edward
Harrigan down on the city front OF San Fran
cisco, where in early life he used to work as a
calker will be seen again tomorrow (Monday)
evening and throughout the week at The Cali
fornia Theater Mr.. Harrigan has not pre-
sented "Old Lavender" for something like
seven years, and it is remembered by his ad-
mirers as one OF the very best things he has
ever produced. "Old Lavender is less bois-
ferrous than most of his other productions and
inclines more o the melOdramatc. Ii shows
conviyial gentleman-Harrigan himself-who
is cashier in his brothers. hank and scheming
villain, who runs away with the bankers wife,
after passing a forged check on the douby
duped husband. The brother IS unlustlS sus-
pected OF completely, IS discharged from his
position and becomes a homeless wanderer
around the docks. The happy reunion OF the
brothers is. fortunately, postponed until the
end Of the third act, for In the M antime Mr..
Harrigan has The opportunity 10 do some eX-
eelleDt character acting. Ii is finished per-
fOTmance that has few or no rivals IN lis llne
"Old L yender' is one of Harrigan's earlier
and best works and contains several scenes OF
life along tile wharves that are IN the authors
finest kind Of graphically pathetic depictlon.
One OF the poTtraituTes Is properly regarded as
the most artistic IN his gallery OF dramatic DC
lures. The character Of the old man who has
seen better days, whose shabby gentllity is in
its last tatters, and whose oraculdr senti-
ments sink into the sogginess OF habltual IN
ebrieiy, is a creation fully deserving the praise
that IL Ust d 70 receive, and which viii now be
given TO it anew.
There are parts In the piece suitable for
several well.knOWn members of the Harrigan
company. Hattie Moore's deaf keeper OF
waterfront groggery is said 10 be very comic.
John Sparks cleverness in rendering the
bumOr of a saUcy and slouchY New YORK negro
Is expended in this Instance on laughable dog
thief. The part Of Dick, the rat, the ''col-
league of OLD Lavender" IS acted naturally by
their revival very WELL among them being
negro serenade entitled Love, Love, sweet
est Love-" with a dance by Mr.. Sparks and
others; a newsboy diIty, Extra" sung by
Mr.. Wight aud Emma Pollock, with some
dancing to 90 with il, and more than all the
rest ballad of bomely sentiment, "Poverty's
Tears Ebb and Flow" which Mr.. Harrigan
sings with so much feeling that ii has 10 be re-
peated many times.
