says the ST. Louis Republic: "With
an annual expenditure by the Govern
ment of Sl43,000,O00 yenr for pen.
oions and a Treasury deficit of 49,
600. 600, the Republicans OF Iowa arc
still crying for more pensions. They
demand n pension for every man who
fought the Confederacy. even though
it should bankrupt every other man in
the country. Is this the platform on
which the Republican party expects
to carry several Southern States next

the coal beds of Pennsylvania have
shown that at the present rate OF cou :.
sumption the supply will not be OK

the probabilities are that there will be

The Secret of Long Life.

Nj. Barthelemy Saint Hilaire,
the famous French scholar and po-
litician. who recently entered on
his Goth year full of physical and
intellectual vigor, has been telling
the inevitable interviewer how it
is his days have been so long in
the. land. 1t is, we are told, the
effect of strict adherence to the
old precept ''early to bed and ear
ly to RISE" with steady work dur
ing waking hours. Every grand
old man seems to have a secret of
his own. Mr.. Gladstone, we be-
lieve, attributes his longevity to
his habit of taking daily walk in
all weathers, and to his giving
thirty-two bites to every morsel of
food. Oliver Wendell Homes PIN
ned his faith on equability of
temperature. The late Major
Knox Holmes swore by the tricy-
Gle, which, in the end, was the
cause of his death. DIR. P. III. Van

and who has faithfully remained at his

Fun Pleasure and Good Time
From Early in the Nor
ming Until Late i'm
the Night.

Thursday, the Fourth of July,
was day of pleasure and merri-
ment for the people of this town,
who spent the whole day at the
Bienvenu Grove where all kinds
of games, amusements and sports
were INDUCED in from nine o'clock
in the morning until late during
the night:
At the hour of six in the morn
ing national salute was fired un-
der the command of Capts. Chas.
Gutekuust and j. Fitzgerald.
AT nine O'Clock the ladies and
gentlemen gathered at the grove
in large numbers to enjoy the fun.
The egg storming was one of the
attractions Of the day, and when
ever the coon was hit it was an
nounced to the merry crowd by
bursts of laughter.
' The shooting gallery, greasy
pole, leaning pole, ring throwing
etc, were the attractions of the
morning, and we can say every
one present had n most ENJOYABLE
and grand time.
The Excelsior orchestra under
the leadership of Prof. Greig fur
nished the music for the occasion
and delighted the audience with
their sweet strains.
In the afternoon the attendance
was largely increased and at the
time that every one was anXlously
waiting for the evenings enter
tainment to begin, the clouds be-
gan to gather above head and in
an instant Il pouring rain fell,
forcing most of the people to
leave. and flooding the track and
ground. The rain however only
lasted about fifteen minutes, and
Notwithstanding the muddy and
sloppy condition of the ground

THE SUNDAY LAW in NEW IBERIA

The Sunday law is being enfor-
ced in New Iberia in a new and
peculiar way, because the new Ma
yor and the District Attorney have
discussed the matter and decided
to make an effort to again try to
put this law in. force.
The way the New Iberia people
respect the Sunday law, to con-
form also with the instruction re-
ceived from Sheriff Cade, is to
close the front doors tight, and to
allow no one to enter the saloons
from the front openings, but the
side and back doors are thrown
wide open and the business is
carried on just the same as when
the front doors were open.
Sheriff Cade says that New Or
leans should lead the country, and
the country should follow that CT
ty and do what she does, and no
more; as the saloons in New Orlean
close the front doors the country
should follow and do the same.
We disagree with Sheriff Cade
on this point, if our people violate
the law and are allowed to do so
by the authorities, they should do
it their own way and not immi-
tate the big city.
In our estimation Sheriff Cade
is as guilty as far as the Sunday
law is concerned, as the saloon
keepers who violate the Sunday,
law because his plain duty is to
have thelaws respected.

der Weyde, an American octogen-
arian, not long ago offered himself
"as an example of the bengin in
Auence of the study and practice
of music" Some aged persons
give the credit of their long lives
to abstinence from tobacco, alco-
hol, meat, or what not; others to
their indulgence in all these
things. One old lady of whom we
read not long ago as having reach
ed the age of 12O or there-about,
maintained that single blessedness
in the real elixir vitae, and she
ascribed the death of brother at
the tender age of 90 TO the fact
that he had committed matrimony
in early life. M. Ferdinand de
Lesseps believed in horse riding.
Mr.. James Payn complains that
in his hoyhood he "got a little
bored with too much horse" The
Grand Francois seemed to think
that one can hardly have "too
much horse" In letter recent
ly published, NJ. De Lesseps deli
vered himself on the subject as
follows: 81 shall always feel deep
ly grateful to Earine, my riding
master, who from my earliest years
made me share his keen passion
for horses, and l am still convin-
ced that daily horse exercise has
in a large measure been the means
of enabling me to reach my S4th
year in perfect health Carlyle
was also great rider almost to
the end of his long life, and he
not only rode, but. we believe
groomed his horse himself. On
the whole, it must be concluded
that the real secret of longevity is
a sound constitution prudently
husbanded. The only general rules
that can be LAID down are those
set forth by Adam in "As You
Like It.:
Though look old, yet am strong and lusty;
For in my youth never did apply
Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood.
Nor did not with unbashful forehead WOO
The means of weakness and debility;
Therefore my age is a lusty winter,
frosty but kindly.
That is the whole secret of long
life. Shakespeare knew it as we'll
as any one, yet he died at 81

calls for the knights of the spear
to report to the Judges stand. Of
the twelve who had entered the
contest only seven reported, the
others failed to show up on ac-
count of the rain. The knights
were presented their spears and
their colors, made a turn over the
circles and selected the ladies for
whom they contested and handed
them their colors.
The track or circle was two and
a half acres long, and the time
fixed was % seconds, but owing to
the wet and heavy road the time
was extended to 35 seconds and
the longest turn was in 50 Sc
conds.
The contest was exciting and
very interesting, and the audience
seemed to have enjoyed it hugely.
The first prize was won by Mr..
John Hanly who got Ii rings, and
made Miss Laurence Lacaze his
Queen.
The second prize was tied be-
tween Messrs. Laizaire Bienvenu
and Oswald Fournet, with eleven
rings, it was won by Mr.. Bien-
venu, who made Miss Emeranthe
Domengeaux of Breaux Bridge,
first Maid of Honor.
The third prize was awarded to
Mr.. Oswald Fournet who got ele-
ven rings and made Miss Eva
Broussard second Maid of Honor.
The fourth prize who won by
Mr.. T. j. Liable who came after
the third rounds with ten rings on
his spear, and made Miss Iniz
Broussard the third Maid of Ho-
nor. Miss Broussard being in
mourning, MIR. Liable transferred
his colors to Miss Leona Gauthier
for the Royal quadrille.
The other contestants, DIR. II.
de Many, Antoine Domengeaux
and Albert Bienvenu came out of
the contest with nine rings each.
At eight o'clock a splendid and
brilliant display of fireworks were
fired on the bayou, where large
numbers of fires were arranged on
floating boards, the SKIRTS, piro-
CUES and all boats in the bayou
were elegantly decorated with Chi
nese lanterns, and colored fires
were burning all along the bayou.
The effect of this illumination was
very pretty, and was a sight en-
tirely novel to our people.
At half past eight o'clock the
grounds were again covered with
people, and a series of beautiful
tableaux was given, which was
we'll appreciated by the large au-
dlence.
At half past nine o'clock the
Royal quadrille was formed; the
Queen and Maids of honor were
presented with lovely bouquets,
after which the ball was formerly
opened. The dancing platform
was crowded to its fullest capaci-

lasted until half past two in the
