Our Electric Lights.
Daily Monitor, May 9Th.

The Electric lights were fully
tested last night, and without
fear of contradiction we can assert
that the system as far as one can
judge is all or more, than we
could have expected.
The event has been looked
forward to with restlessness and
expectancy by the people, and
now that the matter no longer
hangs in doubt, feeling of re-
lief and satisfaction will come
over the community. Many wise
acres, who really don't know Il
dynamo from a Spanish torpedo
or a volt from a hyperbole, have
been lond in their assertions, that
an inferior system had been
palmed off on an unsuspecting
community. The "proof of pud-
ding is the eating thereof. and
the proof of the superiority of
our lights is the testing thereof.
We venture the assertion, and
not without some knowledge on
the subject, that we have as good
a system of street lighting as any
city in the State. OF course the
great number of trees on every
street will materially obscure the
| illumination, but with all that we
have reason to congratulate our
selves on the splendid system so
far tested.
The great number of people on
the streets last night attested to
the novelty of seeing old Opelou-
sas by electric lights. Truly, it
was beautiful perspective to
look down any of the streets
where the lights extend from one
end to the other. The grand old
oaks cast giant shadows athwart
the thoroughfares, and them
grand sevles make a and sombre
background to the effulgence Of
the lights.
We can soon expect an invasion
from the electric light bug. And
you can bet he's a daisy. Nobody
ever saw a bug. He is as myster-
ious as he is plentiful, and as large
and important looking as he is
troublesome. ''He amt no small
potato'' either, and you'll never
know how to appreciate his af-
fectionate qualities until he acci-
dentally strays in amongst your
bed clothing. Where he origin
ates from bugology does not say,
and indeed it is said that he was
unknown until he made his debut
with the electric light.
