Father Langlois has contrac-
ted for a fine organ for the Catho-
lie church, which is expected to
arrive every day.
Mr.. James Simon went to New
Orleans this week to attend the
meeting of the State Democratic
Central Committee.
-Messrs. Felix Bienvenu and
L. G. Vautier went to New Or
leans Sunday to attend the Repu-
blicau nominating convention.
We kicked too quick about
the proceedings of the parish COM
mittee, they appeared in the last
number of the Valley of the
Teche.
If our planters would all sub
scribe to and read the Southern
Farmer, a new little paper publi-
shed in New Orleans, ably edited
by corps of experienced agri-
cultural writer's, they would learn
many thinks that would be to
their interest. The Southern Far

formation.
Sheriff Rees returned from
Baton Rouge this week; he had
gone there to place Joachim Co
meau Jr., in the penitenteary. Co.
meau is young negro who was
convicted at the last term of court
for attempt to murder, his case
was appealed to the supreme
court, bit the verdict of the lower
court was maintained.
The Mystic Star Minstrel Co,
of New iberia played here last
Sunday to d good audience. The
MESSENGER may not be a good
judge, not being an amateur of
minstrels, but did not appreciate
the performance. 1t is a very diff
ficult thing to initiate the negro,
specialists only can do this to per-
lection, and this is absolutely ne
cessary to please the public. The
gentlemen who were in the CON-
pany would certainly do better in
| any ether play, than in n,instrels
that requires good singing, dane
| ing etc.
| The Suffrage amendment plank
of the Democratic platform seems
to have the effect Of driving the
illetefate non-propefty hold
ers, to the Populist and Republi-
can tanks. These people are most
ly inclined to protection, and now
that their PARTY is ehdeatoring to
disqualify them, they go over to
the parties that protect them in
their citizenship and their indus
tries. The MESSENGER though
favoring the amendment, cannot
blame those people who make an
effort to protect their citizenship
| We favor the amendment because
we expect much good to result
from it id d short time, to those
people who will be deprived Of
the suffrags right, and to the state
in gen4fal. We believe III an in.
telligent, qualified vote.

Farmers Clubs, Educatet
Farmers.

agriculture may be to some extent
backward in Louisiana, there is
some evident cause for this condi-
ton of affairs to be found when
the search light is turned on, and
the reasons Sc. forth in the proper
manner. In the first place, to be-
gin with, our educational facilities
are not in all respects what they
should be. The free public schools
of the State are no doubt good, as
far as they extend, but when COM
pared with the public school sys-
tenn of States like Illinois, we fall
far below the mark. Hence it is
that younger States have outstrip-
ped Louisiana in the knowledge
and pursuit of both agriculture
and horticulture. This progress
Is measured by the intelligence of
n people, because all progress
must come through these lines to
be permanent.
The Partners Club as q means
70 this end ID an important factor
for the dissemination of useful
knowledge. 1t is beneficial, be-
cause it is the means employed to
bring the people, the farmers,
their wives, sons and daughters to
the club, where all may unite Oh
equal grounds aud discourse on
the latest news in the interest of
their farming community. They
compare notes and methods, intro
ducing new ideas to be used in
the cultivation of the farms, or
chards and gardens, stock raising,
butter and cheese making, build
ings and improvements. Besides
these are to he found many and
varied subjects coming into and
connected with farm life; and
wherever introduced the Farmers
Club has been a success and an
educator to its members and their
country.
One other cause having an eff
feet OH our agriculturists is the
forced plan of, l will name it,
the ono crop system. And yet, if
the light be turned Oh. it will be
seen that there is adequate cause
for the single crop method SO
much practised with us. To be-
gin with, outside of New Orleans,
there are no large cities in the
State, and few large manufactur-
ing plants giving employment 70
large forces Of workingmen, to
take any surplus which may be
produced on the farm by diver
sity of crops grown there. In
other words, the Louisiana farmer
is too far from market to attempt
competition with the more favor
ed sections of the Union, where
the farmers have all the advan-
tages of cheaper freight rates,
bringing them In closer touch
with the consumer.
As the country shall improve by
the building of new towns and fac
tories, demands will be created
which will bring about the neces-
sity Tor agricultural supplies, and
an inducement will arise for the
planting Of a diversity of crops
for which at present there is found
to be neither sale nor demand.
The SOUTHERN FARMER has a
glorious mission open before it
and one that can be made pleasant
In its way as an educator. The
held is an open one. The bring

SPEECHES HEARD BY FEW.
Some OF Them Delivered TO Very
Small Number OF Auditors.

Some OF Them Delivered to a Very
Small Number of Auditors.
II Is a curious fact that many Of the
great speeches which gave immortality
to the orators who made them were
delivered in comparatively small rooms
and to small audiences. When Web
ster made his great argument in the
Dartmouth college case, aside from the
bar, and the officials in charge of the
room there were not fifty persons pres
ent and yet many believe that he
spoke to listening senators and other
high officials When we read OF Patrick
Henry's wonderful display OF elo-
quence we see in our minds eye a spa
cious room and an immense crowd OF
people listening to the burning words
with almost breathless attention. Eut
in truth. many of these speeches which
quickened or changed the march or
events were delivered i'm a small room
and TO a few hearers, never more than
.15O. Gould it have been here, in mis-
oakcn chapel of fifty pows, wrote Hos
mer. the gifted author OF "Sprondo. ~
that Patrick Henry delivered the
greatest and best known Of all his
speeches. Was it here that he utter
ed those words OF doom so unexpected
and then so unwclcome, We must
fight?' Even here. But the words
were spoken in a tone and manner
worthy he men TO whom they were adj
dressed and who were so impressed
with them that for several moments
they were almost awe-strcken. 1t was
only when the voice of Richard Henry
Lee. the other m9tchless Nirginian or
ator, who rose to second the words )i
Henry. rang through the room that
they We're called back to themselves.
Stewards speech in defense OF William
Freeman was undoubtedly the greatest
and most brilliant effort of his pro-
| fessional life Il did for him more
perhaps. than the conduct OF any case
has given any other in The state OF
New York in perpetuating his name
And yet the audience that listened t1
him was not less than 100 in number
A friend expressed some surprise tha'
an argument of so much power, learn
ing and eioquence should nave at
tracted so few listeners.
"My dear sir" said Seward ml
audience was in no sense limited. Th'
civilized world was my audience Pos
terity will hear it, and generations un
born will praise or censure IL, from th
different standpoints in which they Wi
view it. 1 did not make it for a par
of "the madding crowds ignobl
strife.
Horace Greeley said. Seward
speech in defense of william Freemal
Is one OF the masterpieces in the his

Howard Clement, school Teacher In jail

Armed crowds are no longer patroll-

citement is still high over the dastardly
murder of Freeman Morrow and the
almost fatal woundlng OF his daughter,
Ada, near Perkins last week. The
coroners jury has not yet returned a
verdict, but is still searching for evil
dence.
Threats Of lynching were revived
yesterday when Howard Clement, a

was only averted by the work Of Wm.
