The Meeting of the Louisiana
State Sanitary Association.

The third night $ entertainment
OF this association was given last
Wednesday evening at the Court
House. Some business was trans.
acted by it of an important na.
ture, an account Of which will be
furnished by'She Secretary in due
time for publication. A short
obituary of the late DR.. Walter
ID. White of Abbeyille was read
III which some of the useful and
excellent features of his character
were commemorated. Then fol-
lowed some splendid music, both
vocal and instrumental.
Prof. A. L. Metz was next in
troduced by DR.. Mayer. His
theme was water a knowledge
OF the science of chemistry, is ne
cessary, before one can even i'm
aglne what separationsof the eI-
ements of which water is compos-
ed, may enable the chemist to do
with it. Prof. Metz showed his
audience some experiments of a
very interesting character and
which excited astonishment. He
explained by diagrams, as well as
by oral explanations, how impur-
tiles get in the water we drink
and what an alarming source of
disease it thus becomes. He told
us too, how, with a little trouble
in adopting precautionary means
OF prevention, we might insure
far better health. He entertain
ed his audience two hours and ten
minutes, during which he was
listened to with rapt attention.
We may safely say no such lecture
on the chemical properties of wa
ter, was ever delivered before an
Opelousas audience. The room
in which he lectured was very inn
perfectly illuminated, which fact
greatly initiated against the pos
sible perfection Of some of his
curious experiments, and entirely
prevented other exhibitions,
which he had purposed making.
He was frequently applauded dur
ing the course of his lecture, and |
never was plaudit more deserved.
We would be pleased to have him
return and give us other lectures,
rs his resources appear exhaust
ess. After he closed his instruc-
i've lecture. Prof. Mayer on the
Violincello and Miss Latour on
The Piano Forte, discoursed
piece of classical music which
charmed the audience. A vote of
thanks was accorded them, nor
we're Prof. Metz and DR.. +. j.
Mayer neglected in like demon
,tration Of due appreciation.
DR.. Mayer has been indefati-
5ably Industrious and energetic
n getting up the convention of
he Louisiana State Sanitary AS
at this place, and in
preparing such programs, as have
made the event trul y memorable.
The entertainment was splendid
throughout and we felicitate our
people for it. We sincerely hope
hat DR.. Mayer and his distin-
suished co-adjutors in. the great
work thus happily inaugurated
nay speedily see the fullest con-
of it, in monumental
blessings.

IA We learn that the members of
Che City Council have in mind
tae passing Of an ordinance max
ing it obligatory on the part of
Nhe property holders to keep their
] walks in good condition. This
seems to US to be the proper solu-
ton Of the sidewalk question.
Property owners who have not
sufficient pride, or enterprise
enough to keep up a sidewalk
that people can walk on without
endangering their lives should be
made to do so.
A good sidewalk does nothing
if it does not beautify and enhance
the value of property, and if resi-
dents Of this town are absolutely
indifferent to their own comfort
and welfare they should be made
10 fix their walks so as not to be a
menace to life and limb.

Work upon the steel tower and
upon the Reservoir at the water
works plant is steadily progress
ing. Every part Of the tower is
being carefully and securely rivit-
ed, and confidence in it's strength
and effectiveness seems to be gen.
orally felt, even by those who
have expressed doubts of it. Tt
may also be said 100 that it has a
rather graceful appearance, and
instead of marring the view of the
Public square it will be an attrac-
tive object to the eye.
