The Man and His Watch.

The man had lost valuable watch.
It was case Of pickpocket, he was GER
tain, and he advertised for its return,
Offering the full value of the watch,
which was worth more than its intrin-
sic value, $3.50, to him, and no ques-
tions asked. Not long after man APP
peared at his business Office, showed
him the advertisement, and asked if he
was ready to stand by it, and was as
sured that he was where is your
money!" asked the visitor. Here il
is" was the answer. where is the
watch?" Taking the one handed him,
the victim of the robbery saw with much
delight that it was his own, put it in
his pocket and handed over the $3.50.
But he could not resist the temptation
to ask one question. Nov, when did
you take that watch?" he asked. "Do
you remember, said the visitor,
standing on such a day on the corner
of such street," Eyes. " lyon were
talking with friends?" "Yes. And
some one came along and brushed
against you? Well, that was when l
took the watch. | brushed against you
like this -illustrating- it is very
simple. Good day, sir. " GOOD day"
The mans face was alight with pleas
ure at again having his watch and his
intelligent curiosity was satisfied. ut
is a curious thing" he murmured to
himself. Il would not have believed it
could have been done" He put his
hand to his watch pocket. There was
no watch there. 1t had been taken a
second time. New York Times

A PLEASURE PARTY COMES TO GRFEF.-
Last Tuesday, Ralph Lorio, CASTOR and
Sidney Coulon and Etienne Boutarie,
fouc amateurs of the wheel, tack a spin
to Houma, on pleasure bent. Every thing
wen merrily on aud the boys had their
fun Oh the wayaid in Houma, and when
they had enjoyed themselves to their
hearts content, they started on theiF re-
turn trip, happy aud cheerful as larks.
But as soon as they struck the first bridge
just at the upper corporation limits they
came to grief. There some miscreamt had
profusely strewn the hfidge with treach-
erous tacks which literally punctured
the tires o fthree of the wheels. Boutarie's
wheel was SO badiylinjured that he had
to stay over while the other two boys
managed to so patch up their wheels as
to laboriously make the return trip that
same night.
We hope the good people of Houma will
exert themselves to ferret out and bring
TO deserved punishment the vile .hoodlum
who is so lost to all sense of decency as
to resort to such a low track to iniure
innocent visitors to their town.-Thibo.
daux Sentinel.
No n regrets this act more
than the good people of Houma,
and The CoURIER feels safe in
asserting that the town officials
will leave no stone unturned in
their effort to ferret out the evil
doer.
We cannot believe that the
guilty party, lost to all sense Of
right and honor though he is,
aimed this low trick at the visi-

TIE TEST FRoSTS.

Yellow fever has caused a longing
for an early winter and many predic-
tions have been made by our local
weather prophets, for the first killing
frost this year.
De Voc, the weather ~forecaster,
wGOse calculations in the past have
been neal enough correct for many to
put faith in his predictions, says that
a cold wave will reach the South
about the 22nd, OF October and anotll-
or cold wave ON the lsthof November;
and adds that December will be \ cold
month; but not cold enough to injure
the orange crop of Florida.
Mr.. Kerkam. of the Weather Bureau,
has prepaled a table showing the date
Of the arrival of the first frost for each
year since 1879. The table is as fol-
lows:

tors. If he did, it makes the
offense agreater one than was first
thought, for it reflects on the hos
pitality of the whole town, and
creates the impression that our
gates r not ajar to respectable
visitors, from neighboring points
when, in truth, all progressive
citizens realize the Importance of
offering inducements to visitors ii
they want the town to continue
to build up.
THE COURIER is OF the opinion
that the preparation of the low
down trick was more the efferves-
cence OF genuine cussedness than
anything else, and was not aimed
at the Thibodaux visitors, or at
any body in particular,

A remarkable c%O-incident or decree
of Providence (wlo can say which,
that the table shows, is, that the earli-
est frost that we have had during the
past twenty-three years, put in au
appearance in the year that it was
most needed-in 1873.
The yellow fever ID 1873, while not
as bad in New Orleans as the 1883
epidemic, vas the worst epidemic Of
the disease the country in general has
ever seen, the records showing over
$1,000 deaths, and it is probable that
as many more in isolated places
were never recorded.
When The disease was at it's worst
m the country districts, with suffering
ard death all over the country, Provi-
dence interposed 10y sending the great
est foe of yellow jack -Jack Frost.
This was all that saved Houma from
a fearful epidemic of the disease, as it
was just beginning to take root here
when frost put in an appearance.

THE GRINDING SEASON.

The Southdown refinery took the
initiative in sugarmaking, this season.
Cane cutting and hauling began last
Monday, and the following day the
machinery of the refinery vas put in
operation.
A number of planters win begin
next Monday.
The crop this year is a large n
and there is every indication that the
rolling season will last much longer
than usual, unless the weather is very
propitiors for harvesting the crop; as
labor Is moi as plentiful this year as
in past years.
The past year, however, has wit
messed many sugar house improve
ments, throughout the parish, and the
improved facilities for handling the
crop might counter balance the scarcity
Of hands, in which case, the season
will end about the first of January.
The harvesting season is the happi-
est of the year, here as well as else
where. There is music in the ring of
the cane knives, the song of plantation
darkies, and even in the crack of the
Transfers whip. The soft rumbling of
machinery, the murmuring protest of
the cane in having to part with its
sweetness in SO rude a manner, the
fragrant vapors of the CHARTERS, act
as solace to the soul of the toiler.
Such is the fascination around kthe
sugar house hat even the habitual
~loafer, the man that tolls not for nine
months of the year and spins only his
yarns, is senticed to remove his coat
and work sightetn hours a day.
He is happy and all are happy, ex-
cept perhaps the planter, and his trials
and t%ribulations are augmented during
the harvesting season.

tiOns, barring the difference in mortal
ity, seems to be that difference once
discovered between tweedledee and
twesdledum.
That at some places the disease
should be of q more malignant type
than at others seem altogether reas-
enable to suppose. For instance any
one can understand why the mortality
from any disease would be less il a
summer resort, like Ocean Springs,
than in a city with as filthy CUTTERS as
New Orleans possessed prior to the
outbreak of yellow fever. With fine
sea bathing and invigorating sea
breezes, it stands to reason that the
residents of Ocean Springs are in a
better physical condition to stand the
ravages of fanny disease than the residents
of New Orleans, who daily breathe an
atmosphere poisoned by the horrible
odOrs of filthy cutters. Il
In this respect the yellow fever this.
year is not different from the yellow
of 1873. In several country places in
1873 the death rate did not go over 8
per cent; and it is a matter of record
that out of about 5000 cases the NOR
tallty during the 1873 epidemic was
only Z per cent in Baton Rouge. In
other places the death rate went as
high as rs per cent, notably in
Grenada Miss.
Yellow fever Is yellow fever. If the
sanitary conditions of a place it visits
are such as to check the full force of
the disease, so much the better for
the people of that place; but the idea,
that, because it has been mild in one
place it will surely be of a mild type
in another place is ridiculous sin the
extreme. The history ofthe visitation
of the disease doesnot justify any such
hope.
