A Sudden Death.

On Wednesday afternoon gentleman
named r. FL. Neal, drummer for the
Louisville Coffin Company arrived from
Washington and put up at Lacombe's
Hotel. He told the porter that he was
i'll and wanted q bed, which was given
him. Shortly after eight at night the
waiter went to Meals room to see it he
wanted anything, when he found him in
the death throes. The boy gave the
alarm, Mr.. Lacombe did all in his power
for the sufferer, but to no avail as he
died in few minutes. Deceased was
apparently fifty-five years old and fa-
vOrahiy known to the mercantile COM
munity. Death ia always sad, but to
die without loving or even . famil-
lar face near,is sad indeed.
Since writing the above we learn that
kilograms were received from his firm
at Louisville, KY, ordering the body
embaimed aud sent to his wife at Baton
Rouge, but the Masons and Pythian
Knights, of which two orders deceased
was member, had already attended to
this. The body was shipped to Baton
Rouge ON Thursday, accompanied by
Mr.. H. E. Est0rRe. The fraternal ac-
tiOns.o the MasOns and Pytfians of our
ltOwn were cOmmendable. A brother
emld not have received more attention
than did the deceased.

The following poem was written by
Miss Mary Proctor, of Portland, Conn,
on board the tourist ship Ohio and read
on board of that ship at sea on July
4th. Miss Proctor is the daughter Of
astronomer Proctor, who is on board
the same ship to view the eclipse Of the
sun ut B0do. Norway, August 9th. We
are indebted to our friend Mr.. A. Dim
mick, one of the tourists, for this poem :
Some stars there are that twinkle i'm the firma-
ment SO bright
That often have wondered at the beauty of
their light.
They are tinged with glowing radiance of an
iridescent hue,
And the colors. I discovered, are the red
white and blue
They are forty-five in numbers, and they
grace banner fair,
And to-day this banner proudly is waving in
the air.
There are stars in Heaven in plenty, and all
are wOndrOus bright,
But compared with them, the forty. five are
truly "out OF sight"

Possibly Not Wise.

The Opelousas Race Track is to be
soiu our, and just exactly what may be
done with iFwe have no means of know
We have,a belief, however, that the
very best hse that can be made of it
is TO Keep it up as it is. The fact that
so Iar IL may not have proved profitable
20 the stockholders, is attributable, we
thInk, at least to q great extent, to mis-
management, and also to existing cir
cumstances. We will not indulge in
speculatIOns as to what those circum-
stances are.
The track is without doubt one of the
oest 10 the State, and being advanta-
geously located, needs but proper man.
agement to make it profitable. The
oreed OF horses is rapidly improving,
owing to the attention given tn it, and
it Will be greatly incon venient to those
VINO encourage it to be obliged to go to
a distance at large expense, to test the
qualities OF their animals. We may
Just say that the necessity for doing so
Will serve to discourage the improve
ment ol stock. Racing on the track is
not the only good use to which it may
6e applied. Our people should en-
deavor to keep IN touch with the spirit
OF the times. In many, il not in all the
States of this Union, stock raisers have
established periodical Fairs. to which
resort is had to exhibit stock and by
this means objects in stock improve
ment have been accomplished, but for
which it could not have been done.
Opeiousas is now entering upon an
era OF development. The spirit of it's
people is rapidly becoming progressive
and 1t Is but reasonable to Opine that
IN rapid graduation very many changes
may be wrought in the aspects of things.
Dependency never gave success to any
enterprise. Perseverance in the face of
temporary discontinue is, and always
has been, the secret of success. When
the Poet Morris wrote his little poem,
some of which ia in the mouth of nearly
everyone. the inspiring idea was, perse-
veraDce, mil desperandum.
III at first you don't succeed,
Try, try again,
Then your courage should appear,
For 1T you will but persevere,
You will conquer, never fear,
Try, try again.
Once or twice though you should fail.
Try, try again;
Ii you would at last prevail,
Try, try again.
II we strive, tits no disgrace
Though we may not win the race;
What should you do in the cases
Try, try again.

Time will bring you your reward,
Try, try again.
All that other folks can do,
Why, with patience should not yeus
Only keep this rule in view,

Wenote with pleasure another edu-
cati0nal move in our community, the
establishment of the above mentioned
Academy, with Prof. R. Mayer as princi-
pal. 1t would be useless to point out
the ability and fitness of Prof. r. Mayer
for such an undertaking. He has been
teaching music in our community for Il
quarter of century, and we are proud
of the results obtained.
His system of education is the Euro
pean Theoretical Method he does not
make players only but musicians, and
anyone anxious to learn music as pro-
fession need not go to Europe, or any,
where else, to get all the knowledge re-
Quired in the art of music.
We hope to see this worthy enterprise
receive the assistance and encourage
ment it merits. See advertisement.
