BOSTON CONCERT CO
To be Follow ed by Joaquin Miller
and Harr Wagner, the Fa-
nous Lecturers.

Thanks a number of public
spirited citizens Lafayette was WIS.,
tied last Tuesday by most de-
serving company of entertainers.
The Boston Concert Company, the
first one of the series of entertain
ments composing the Thomas Ly-
ceum, was fully up to expectations.
Walther, the violinist; Newton, the
elocutionist and impcrsonator; Miss
Roddy, the sweet singer and Miss
Payson, the pianist, displayed talent
of an unusually high order, each
maintaining the good reputation
that preceded them.
The unquestioned merit of the
first entertainment is guarantee
that the two others Of the series will
be worthy of the patronage of the
public. The next to appear here is
Harr Wagner, who, in his 'sslightly
give his audience an intellectual
treat of uncommon merit. The
third and last, will be a lecture by
Joaquin Miller, the famed poet of
the Sierras. Cincinnatus Heine
Miller, known by the pseudonym of
Joaquin Miller, is one of the most
interesting characters among the
literary men of America. His
career has been adventurous in the
extreme and his success most phe-
nominal AS a member of the
famous Walker band Of filibusters
in Nicaragua he had very narrow
escape. His adventures in the
mining camps of the west and his
dealings with the Indians, among
whom he lived many years, have
given him a rare opportunity to
store his great mind with an mex
haustible fund of information. As
lawyer, journalist and finally as a
writer of poetry and prose he gave
evidences of wonderful intellect.
But tits for the realms of poesy
that the genius Of Miller seems most
suitable. We reproduce below a
few gems from his pen:
THE SUNRISE
The east is poisoning! Yea,
Vast as the heavens, soft as a kiss,
Sweet the presence of woman is,
Rises and reaches, and widens and grows
Large and luminous up from the sea,
And out of the sea, as a blossoming tree,
Richer and richer, SO higher and higher,
Deeper and deeper it takes its hue;
Brighter and brighter it reaches through
The space of heaven and the place of stars,
Till all is as rich can be,
And my rose-leaves fall into pillows of fire.
TRAVELLING
Better sit still where born, say,
Wed one sweet woman and love her well,
Love and be loved in the old East way,
Drink sweet waters, and dream in a spell
Than to wander in search of the Blessed Isles,
And to sail the thousands of watery miles
In search of love, and find you at last
On the edge of the world, and curs'd out
cast.
o woman, born first to believe us,
Yea, also born first to forget;
Born first to betray and deceive US,
Yet first to repent and regret.

Il MUNICIPAL TCkE T.

In another part of this paper a
municipal ticket is offered for the
consideration of the Democrats
who will vote at the primaries Of
April 6.
The Gazette believes that should
this ticket be elected, and there
does not appear to be any opposi-
ton to its selection, the affairs of
the town will be in good hands.
With the exception Of two gentle
men, who declined to run for re-
election, the ticket is composed of
the members of the present Council,
which has, during the past two
years, administered the business of
the town with ability and economy.
The Gazette does not think that
all in all a better ticket could be
selected. Its election will guarantee
continuance of an intelligent,
progressive and business-like ad-
ministratlon Of our municipality.

THE GRAND JURY
lmpaneled With G. o. NOutOn as
FOreman--TWentv one True
Bills Reported.

| D"lS NSVOtSSus
A regular criminal term of the
district court convened last Mon
day with Judge DebaIllon on the
bench. All the officers were pres
ent, willing and anxious to transact
business. There is no unnecessary
delay in the Lafayette court and it
requires very little time to set the
machinery of justice in motion.
District Attorney Campbell, Sheriff
Broussard and Clerk VOORHEES, were
at their posts. Judge Hirsch was
there merely as spectator. With
characteristic energy the day before
he had treated the courtroom to
thorough cleansing and his duties
no longer required his presence.
Judge Debaillon appointed Mr..
Chas. o. Mouton foreman of the
grand jury and the following names
were drawn out of the box: Pierre
Landry, P. r. Roy, Albert Guidry,
c. G. Brown, l.. G.. Breaux. Hines
Hoffpauir, J. P. Gulley, JOS D. Du-
gas, J. A. Begnaud, A. A. Morgan.
Nathan F. Broussard.
Judge Debaillon delivered his
charge to the Jury with usual clear
ness, thoroughly informing the
jurors as to their duties. He spoke
of the law relative to the obstruc-
ton of navigable streams. He ex-
planned the statute protecting rice
levees. The judge referred to the
fish law. He said that year ago
parties we're punished for the viola.
ton of this law and he strongly
urged its strict enforcement. He
was pleased to think that the law
against the carrying of concealed
weapons was not as generally vio-
lated as it had been, but be recon-
mended that the Jury exert every
effort toward its strictest enforce
ment. He hoped to be able to
thoroughly eradicate the vicious
habit of carrying concealed weaP-
ons to which SO many crimes could
be traced. He called attention to
the laws prohibiting the selling of
weapons and liquors to minors.
He alluded to the anti-gambling
laws.
At the conclusion of the judges
charge the Jury retired to its room
and went to work at once. 1t re-
manned in session until Wednesday
afternoon when it reported the fol-
lowing cases:
True Bills.
Petit Sonnier and Baboon Cook
larceny.
Felix Jenkins, discharging
weapon in a public place.
A. Caisson discharging fre-arm
on public street.
Julien Victor and Frank Robert
son, shooting on public highway.
James Hamilton and SEVERN
King, assault with dangerous
weapon.
Martin Wilmington, horse steal
ing.
lilo Comeaux, murder.
Maxim Foot, assault with intent
to rape.
Adeline Fan, larceny.
Four indictments were placed on
the secret docket. One for horse
stealing, one for burglary and en-
tering in the night time with a dan
gerous weapon, and the two others
! for discharpinp firearms on the
public highway.
The Jury reported eight no true
bills.
