The committee appointed by the
B. NJ. \. and the City Council met
last Monday in Judge o. G. Mou-
toms Office and organized by elect
ing L. NJ. Biossat chairman, and J.
I. Bell secretary. There was
marked enthusiasm and sincerity of
purpose in the deliberations of the
committee.
It was decided to advertise in the
Times-D Of New Orleans,
for estimates, and the secretary was
requested to open correspondence
with contractors, with view of as
certaining the probable cost of the
erection Of the contemplated i'm
provemcnts. 1t is proposed to find
out what the expenditure will be,
and then other steps will be taken
toward the completion of the pro-
ject. OF course, the only way to
raise the money is by taxation ; and
before the taxpayers will vote on
the question it is we'll that they be
thoroughly Informed as to costs,
etc. The gentlemen interested in
this movement have been at work
with a vim that is really commend
able, and it is to be hoped that they
will continue to show the same
public spirit which has SO far char
acterized their efforts. We say let
the good work go on!

Charles de Russell.

Charles de Russell, the old gen
tleman who lived on Mr.. Lom-
bard's place, died Thursday eve
ming at the age of about IS years.
'sPere Charles" as he was familiarly
called, was born in Paris of noted
French family. He had in his
possession documents showing his
high birth, and had he lived in
France he would have been a
t'Count," but having spent most
of his life in America, this title of
nobility was known to only few
friends. He was a we'll
man and painter Of great ability,
several stage-curtains in different
parts of the State bearing testimony
to his skill and taste. He was a
quiet, unassu1ning man and always
extremely modest. He lived alone
in the old Creighton house on Mr..
LON bard's place and seldom came
to town; he delighted in solitude
and seemed to enjoy the company
of his favorite dogs more than
contact with the world. Borr. and
reared in af1luencc in the gayest city
of the world, little he cared for it's
pleasures and vanities. He pro-
fcssed no religious belief, and Wis
tied no churches. Before dying
he expressed the desire to he buried
under a large oak on the banks of the
Vermilion. All who knew SPere
Charles" will sorrow for his death,
as he was god, kind old man.
Peace to his ashes.

A Charming Composition.

The following complimentary no.
tice to young lady well-known in
Lafayette will doubtless be read
with pleasure by many of our
readers. 1t is taken from the
September number of the "Salve
Regina"
Just out, Paac,zvi5ki's WeIcomc,
a beautiful waltz by Miss Gene
We've Sales, of our city. Miss
SALES has the soul Of genuine ar
fist; her early work gives promise of
great things to come. If her talent
and the charm of her compositions
fail to satisfy the expectations her
work has already aroused, the cause
must be sought outside herself. In
her compositions one finds plain
tiveness, swecting that are as
touching as charming. Had her
star risen unde. other auspices, she
might have devoted her whole
energies to classic music, as it is,
she must divide attention and give
time to that which IS less subtle,
but more pleasant to the public
ear. We trust Psaerzoiski's WeL-
e0n.c shall find the sale it deserves.
Any 1esirous to honor the great
composer, who is expected to visit
our city this winter, should pur-
CHASE copy of her IpeLcoWe. Its
tones as he passes through our
streets would give him pleasure.
f1e is Il great artist and will appre-
C;ate every token of esteem. Give

About Lafayette.

We find the following in the col
umns of that excellent little maya
zine, ''Salve Regina" edited,
printed and published by the young
ladies of the St. Mary's Dominican
Academy of New Orleans. Miss
May Scranton, the author of the
article, is the daughter of the we'll
known physician, DR.. G. w.
Scranton:
A bright August morning, a spir-
tied span of bays, an open car
rage, trio of happy girls-a dash
and away from Youngsville to La
fayette The roads are dusty
You should see the hats and
dresses, the bays and harness when
we drew rein in front of hand
some, unpretending residence, near
the entrance of the town.
The ride was short and pleasant,
in spite of the dust Girls are easily
amused and each darkey child at it's
door waving its chubby hand and
smiling or dashing out to cheer us,
furnished matter for laughter !!
Great wagons passed us laden with
cotton; the negro hands, half hid
den in its snow, peeped at us with
pleasant smile and gracious nod.
They are a happy, devoted race.
Their love for their masters life
long, their fidelity to his family
unchanging.
We spent a whole week at Lafa
yette, an aristocratic inland town,
too dignified to grow fast and yet
too proud to lose prominence in
trade. 1t stands about junction
Of the Southern Pacific Railroad
and is named from the young mar
Quis Lafayette. who was SO gencr-
GUS to America in her time of need.
Like its name-sake, the town may
some day come into prominence
and become the riSht-hand Of its
State. Who knows Until then we
can enjoy her green lanes and
broad streets, and believe she has
no equal this side the Atlantic, in
the pleasures she secures to us, and
we are logically correct
Why the town Of Lafayette
moved up from the banks Of the
VcrmiliOn we are at a loss to say,
but that it has moved is fact
patent to those long acquainted
with the town and its ways.
1t may be Vermilion and itself
did not s'get along well" together,
the river may have encroached on
the rights of the town, and like the
dwellegs on the banks of a river in
old S5axon times, they became
rivals.
Their disagreement, whatever the
origin, must be interesting to the
people long acquainted with both.
TO us, comparatively new arrivals,
it is a subject Of great curiosity !
which SO far has not been satisfied.
The Catholic Church at Lafa
yette promises to rank among the
prettiest Of the parish. The park,
too, with its accommodations is
we'll kept. Here in the shade Of
great trees, children enjoy fresh air
at noon, old people in the early
evening and young people in the
magic tints Of artificial lights.
The limitless woods on the out
skirts Of the town are resorts for
holidays and picnics, and are al
ways cool and pleasant. One week
of pleasure here and then--home
again-s!lortly after-baCk to
school.

Third Time q Convict.

eOeo
For the third time in his life the
negro, Sam. Dugas, stands convict.
ed of larceny. The last often Sc for
which he will serve his country is
the stealing of two cattle hides.
His case came up for trial last
Wednesday, and, contrary to ex-
Pectation, he pleaded guilty. Last
year he was tried for stealing calf,
and pleaded his own case and was
acquitted. 1t was thought that he
would again attempt to prove his
innocence, but he unexpectedly
came forward, entered plea of
guilty and asked for the mercy of
the court. "Big SAM is we'll, if
not favorably, known by nearly
every person in this parish. He is
notorious thief, and, yet, he is
not considered a particularly vi
cious or dangerous negro. Innu1ner-
able petty thefts may be safely
charged to HIM, but he has never
been caught stealing anything of
much value. His forte is the chick
en-coop, and he is probably the
most successful and experienced
chicken thief in the South. This
is, perhaps, an extravagant asser-
ton, but Sam is undoubtedly enti-
tied to the distinction. He says
that his fingers have a peculiar fas-
cinatios for chickens, hogs, calves
and hides, and that he is in no.
wise responsible if they cling to
them. He says in the present case
he is the victim of circumstances,
and, although he plead guilty, is in
uocent. He has hopes tina: the
judge will sentence him to the par
ish prison, and that he will not be
sent 20 the penitentiary however,
should the judge deem proper to
confine him to the walls of the State
prison, he does not anticipate the
trials and suffering that necessarily
attend the life of a stranger in so
gloomy place. He has been
there twice, and the "pen" has no
terrors for him. He is good cook
and, with his natural cunning and
his reputation as an epicure, he
will, in all probability, be put to
work in the kitchen.
1t remains to be seen whether a
third term of Imprisonment will
have reforming influence on Sam.
He is rather a hard subject, and his
conversion would be little short of
a miracle. He is one of the thou
sands of unfortunate negroes who
are born and reared in crime, and
who live and die in it. From child
hood they are taught to look at the
neighbor's chicken as public prop
erty, and the penltentiary is nat
ural sequence to their early train
