We are very sorry last Tuesday that
Decoration day, which has been made a
legal holiday in Louisiana in memory of
the Confederate dead, was not observed.
We think the people, including the
school children, should have turned out
en- masse to put flowers on the soldiers
graves. 1t is very good thing in this
old world to show honor for those who
died fighting for the right.-Monroe

For three nights past the officers

mystitied mt what has been observed.
Officers Leeper and Logan attempted
last evening to capture what appeared
to them an uncanny shape in human
form with Il peculiar phosphorescent
light surrounding it, and with this in
view took positions some distance
apart and waited. Suddenly the ap-
partition or whatever it ls appeared
and both made a rush, but the object
seemed To tread ON air for a moment
and then vanished. leaving the officers
gazing at each other under the light
of their dark lanterns. second at
tempt was made with like result.
The officers are di inclined to name
the locality as they do not desire to
frIghten the residents. and for the
same reason did not care to fire any
shots. But they nevertheless insist
that there is something peculiar going
on as the object has been seen on
several nights between ] | 80 and 1890

the Century:

Burg is pretty Sight. The substantial
brick la,ilG rg overioolzs the ever MUIR
muring ....a.ly:ay, and the boys and
girls, instead Of stringing up dusty
road, tumbl5 into punts and pole away
for dear life-thc boys much like other
boys, but the girls reduced to fac
SMILES of their mothers and elder SIS
tiers, clad in bright but short raiment
and visible afar off through their
strange mob caps with wings. AS one
moves down the stream from Burg by
Leipe to Lubbenau these wings grow
smaller and collapse, while the Skirts
grow longer and more resemble the or
binary dress of women. At dance the
Spreewalder knows instantly, by the
peculiarities of her costume, from what
village a woman or girl has come. At
Leipe the multitudinous skirts Of
alarming girth are no more. SEhe gown
reaches the ankles, and the cap fits close
to the head instead of resting on q
framework as in Burg. Thus the dress
in Leipe is perhaps more graceful, but
it is more commonplace. 1t no longer
tcstifies to that pride of the peasant ia
ther or husband which is shown by the
number of yards in the skirts of his
woman folk and the variety of their
caps, by the richness of their dress an
well as their jewelry.
