Thlbodaux on last Saturday to confer
with Maj. W. P. Martin, S%uperinten-
dent of the public schools of Lafour-
che, looking to the establishment of a
public school on the left bank
of Bayou Beuf, on a site To-
ca1ed between 81 to 81 miles
from the Malagai public school house.
Eighteen families reside along the
banks OF the Bayou BGuf, with IS
children within the required age for
attendance to school. Mr.. Torres had
an encouraging talk with our Superin-

-CROP BULLETIN.
WEEK ENDING MONDAY AUGUST 81, '94,

"Too much rain" sthe general COM
plant from nearly all correspondents
over the State at large, and more
especially from the North section
where showers have been almost a
daily occurrence. Sunshine has been
decidedly deficient and cloudiness
correspondingly excessive. Crops,
with the exception Of cotton, however,
have not been materially injured.
The temperature has ranged from a
deficiency of about n degree III the
Southern portions of the State, to
about four degrees 10 yer tnan the
weekly normal over the northern Sec
ton.
Complaint continues general from
North section of the State that the wet
weather is causing a great deal of
damage through rust, shedding and
rot. IN a few localities in some Of
the Northern parishes there has. not
been so much rain, and cotton is in
a much better condition than the rule.
Dry weather with a great deal of sun
shine is needed vel the State at large,
or serious damage will result. Cot
ton is opening slowly in most sections
in the North portions of the State,
but picking cannot become general
until a change takes place in the
weather. In many eases where the
bolls have opened the cotton is becom
ing stained or is rotting in the boil.
In the Red River parishes. Rapides
and Grant. the week has been com
p~aratively dry and the crop is in very
good condition, is opening fast and
promises to yield well. IL the south
central and west portions of the State
the staple is opening fast but picking
is interfered with by rains. Dry
weather with plenty of sunshine is
needed.
Cane is in Il very good condition as
a rule, although there is some com
! plant that it is Injured slightly on
lands that are not well drained.
Where the lands are well drained in
| the south section of the State the
plant has grown rapidly and has a
| most excellent, rich color. Further
| north it is doing only moderately
, we'll
Late corn is in good condition, is
maturing well in some localities with
the prospects for a good yield.
The week has been favorable fol
rice except where the staple Is ready
for the harvest, here the wet weather
has caused damage by interfering will
the work of harvesting.
Small crops, including sweet pota-
toes, pea vines, peanuts, turnips, etc.
are in very fine condition as a rule.
Pastures are good and stock il
healthy.

superintendent John +. Donnelly said
that his name was scratched off the as
signment roll at his direction. When he
had signed the assignment roll in camp
he discovered that it was for $3.50 instead
OF S1.50. When he asked about it Captain
Hackett became angry and told him
that he knew too much; that there were
other men in the company who knew the
same, and that he was going to get rid of
them. He was then given his discharge to
make out, and his name was scratched
from the assignment book.
He testified that there was no clerk OF
the company during camp week and that
the roll was not called from the regular
book supplied to captains. He was of
the opinion that Captain Hackett per-
formed his own clerical work.
The next meeting will be held Wednes-
day evening, Feb. u, at o'clock.

The public will be greatly interested in
two fine paintings now being exhibited
at Tilden-T -Thurbur Company's art gallery,
"Adagio" and "Allegro, by Professor
Herterich of Munich. These pictures were
originally designed for a concert room,
being allegorical representations OF two
movements In music.
The first, "Adagio," is illustrated by an
ideal female figure, full of pathetic and
sentimental feeling, playing on the violin,
while at her feet two little Cupids, lulled
by her sweet and soft airs, have fallen
asleep. In the other, the quicker and
more passionate time, "Allegro," Is per-
sonified very successfully by another fe-
male figure, who, dancing and teasing,
arouses the little sleepers lulled by the
dreamy melody Of the "Adagio."
Photographs of these paintings are also
shown, as we'll as hundreds OF superb
Photographic reproductions of old and
modern masters, a larger and more com
prehensive collection than this city has
ever seen.

HACKETT COURT-MARTIAL.
The Testimony Taken at Brigade
Headquarters Last Night.

Headquarters Last Night.
The Hackett court martial was resumed
last evening in brigade headquarters. The
courtroom was filed with spectators.
Gen. Blisha Dyer was the first witness.
He explained that there was no such thing
az serving by substitute in the militia. A
man must be mustered in before he
can draw pay. The papers OF
George Dilian could not be
found. He further stated that
the uniforms were in the custody OF the
commanding officer of the company and
should be issued to members OF the COM
pany only. Colonel Van Slyck objected
to this statement on the ground that Cap
tain Hackett was not on trial for furnish
ing uniforms to his men. The court sus-
tanned the point raised by the Judge Ad-
vocate that it was important to know
whether il was a scheme OF Captain Hack
EFT TO furnish uniforms to men and file
their names on the payroll. General
Dyer complimented Captain Ilackett and
company, which had an enviable reputa-
ton. He further said that il was not the
custom in the militia for any man to re-
ceive any company appointments until he
had been mustered. In reply TO n ques-
tion from Colonel Van Slyck, the witness
said he had heard of men doing field duty
before being Idustercd in, but he had
never been officially notified to that effect.
Major Thomas II. Donshue testified to
his examination of the payrolls in camp
last July, which Captain Hackett
took oath to as to its cor
rcctness. Captain Hackett explained
to him that Il was his custom
to make out the payroll on Friday nights
when IL took two hours and a half. lie
was directed TO swear the captains and
forward the pay-rolls to headquarters.
He admitted that 40 was the practice in his
former company TO enlist men and allow
them to drill before they were mustered
in.
Captain Joseph A. Trainor OF Company
+ was present when Captain Hackett was
sworn by Major Donahue. lie did not re-
member whether Captain Iiackett raised
his right hand or not. In his cross-ex-
animation he further said that he had
