The little entertainment given
at Duchamp's hall last Sunday.
under the management OF Mr.. T.
D. Olivier was . complete success;
the hall was practically too small
to hold the large audience. which
means that the entrance was good.
The singing, the music and the
tableaux were all good, and appre-
cisted by the audience. - the APP
plsuses were many and profuse.
The supply Of gumbo and cakes
was not adequate to the crowd in
the spacious hall. Everying seem
ed to be for the best, Ill we'll dis
posed to esjoy the evening. and

There is lots of complaints be-
ing made about the assessments
which were made by Mr.. n. l..
Broussard, some claim their pro-
perties are doubly ssseseed, some
say that, their sssessm6nts were
increased, and lots Of things Of
that kind. Whether the assess.
ment was we'll made or not, we are
not ready to dispute that fact. but,
we can say, right or wrong, the
late assessor is q much abused Of
fetal. To make q correct, JUS
and complete assessment of q pa

Judgment, and honesty. He shoult
be above the petty politicians wht

Oack az the l1Rnt OF nleUOEy con
reach. One might almost say that
it always was and always will be-.
Nobody could think of doing away
with it. But could it not be still
more simplifed to make it weigh
less heavily upon the poor, espe-
cially poor orphsnsf Perhaps .
little black crepe. tsstefully. and
artisticslly arranged, might be
made to look just as impressive
as the all-bIack outfit, which. for
rich and poor alike is at present
de rigueur.
This is merely a very mild sug-
gestion prompted by the strongl
suspicion, with ill due respect for !
forms, that in the matter Of mour- |
ming we still 90 too far. In old
times the Egyptisns when in
mourning never wsshed their
faces, and they let their hair grow
long. The Persisns cut theirs Cd.
So did the Greeks and Romans. |
The Jews tore their clothes, alb
stained from washing and went
shout bareheaded and bsrefootsd.
The tearing Of garments and put
ting ashes on the head formed
part OF the mourning customs OF
all great ancient nations But
i the time for those peculiar exerci-
ses was necessarily short Lach-
rymatories, or tear bottles, were
fashionable in Greece and Rome,
and some Of them have been found
in ancient tombs. empty witnesses
of human vanity, aud possibly OF
hypocrisy, in its ostentations and
studied forms Of grief. 1t does
not take long for time to dry up
tears, and, even at the wish Of Of
Tending that old establishment,
Zeus 4 Co., I say now that the un-
esrthed lachrymstories present
the evidence of bad Greek and
Roman taste. In our own days
loud displays in the matter Of
mourning simply tender to throw
doubts upon their sincerity.
