Gen. GOrdOn's Lecture.

Next Thursday evening, March
29th, Gen. Gordon will deliver
his famous new lecture, "The
First Days of the Confsderacy,"
at SandOz Opera House, under
the auspices of r. Lee Camp No.
IA, u. G. V. and Gordon Chap
ter Ne. 124 Z. d. G.
This lecture is pronounced
fully equal, if not better, than
Gen. Gordon's first lecture, The
Last Days of the Confederacy,
which has been 50 popular with
all sectiens-North as we'll as
South. The Augusta, Ga,
Chronicle, said of this lecture
It was difficult for the large au-
dience that hung spellbound up
on the eloquent words of Gen.
Gorden last night to realize when
the end was reached that he had
been speaking for two hours.
The interest was SO unfagging,
the splendid eloquence and mag
netic force of the speaker was so
marvellously sustained frem start
to finish, that his hearers were
unmindful of the lapse of time,
and were sorry when the last
words were said.
Gen. Gordon's lecture, er ora
ton it may be better termed,
is a matchless sermon from the
gospel of peace by a match
less fighter in the days of
war. He had the courage Of his
convictions when they led him to
battle and he utters them as
bravely to day in cementing the
ties of soldierly admiration fer
the men who fought, and patriot
ic love for the great repablic
which survives the conflict. Gen.
Gorden's lecture was a surprise
and qualification even to those
who knew his oratorical powers.
Unlike most things of which
much is said in advance, it meas
ured up to every expectation, and
reached a point of interest and
excellence not anticipated by his
warmest admirers. 1t was a great
oratorical performance, dealing
with the leftiest sentiments and
the best known and most con-
spicuous characters in modern
history, without being overdone,
or falling below the requirements
of the occasion.

To Who 1t May Concern.

Subscriptions amounting to
several hundred dollars are due
this effice. The amounts are
small and the debters are scat
tered throughout the parish. If
we have to call on each individ
ual to make collections we will be
forced to travel q much larger
number of miles than we care to.
The business men of this and
neighbering towns have told us
that they made good collections
this winter. What good reason
is there for us not being able to
say as much Is it because we
have been more lenient than
they -? Or is it because our bills
are so small in individual cases
that they are overlooked by the
subscribers in their annual settle
ments ? The business conditions
of the country are such that we,
are in measure forced to trust
to the honesty of cur subscri-
bers and in many instance our
confidence in human nature has
been sorely tried. Those of our
subscribers living at a distance
from Opelousas and have not a
convenient way of sending us
meney, can buy pestoffice orders
and deduct the cost of the same
from the sum due us. This is a
fair proposition, and we have an
abiding hope that it will be taken
advantage of by those owing us.

The reciprocity treaty nego-

laces, jewelry, toys, gloves, em-
.broideries, trimmings, toilet and
fancy goods, perfumery, etc, shall
be admitted to this country at a
reduction of 10 per cent from the
duties prescribed in the Dingley
tariff law. In excange for these
concessions, the treaty pre-
scribes that France will admit
from this country wheat, corn,
oats, barley, cotton, live stock,
meat, ETC., at as low rates as from
any other country or. to state
the terms of the treaty in brief
but plain English, if we will re-
duce eur tariff en- goeds used

imported mostly from France.
France will not increase her duty
on American products. In other
words, American producers give
something for nething and re-
ceives nothing for something.
