OIL At ANSE LA BUTTE.

Again it has been announced
that paying we'll of oil has been
struck at Anse La Butte in the
Parish of st. Martin. For eighteen
months the Moresi brothers have
been quietly and persistently
delving in the earth in search of
the precious fluid. After many
discouragements, misfortuneS, ac-
cidents, and the expenditure of
energy, time and money, success
has at last crowned their efforts
and it is now authoritatively stated
that paying well has been brought
in. While not gusher it is a
pumper of sufficient capacity to
pay handsome dividends. This
well establishes the fact of an~oil
field in st. Martin, and other com
panies vino have less grit or enter
prise, and more parsimony, will
now Immediately proceed to sink
wells in the neighbOrhood that has
been made valuable by the indomi-
table pluck of the Moresi Brothers.
This new field will add much to
the Importance and value of the
Attakapas country, with oil so
near us it will be of easy access as
pipe lines will run to the railroad
at Lafayette and also lines to the
bayou for shipment by water,
making convenient delivery to the
plantations and towns along the
Teche This discovery will give
an impetus to business of every
description in this section, and we
should mot forget those whose I'M
firing faith and zeal made it posi-
BILE. Some public testimonial should
be offered those up-to-date Creole
Americans the Moresi Brothers.

FROM BABES MOUTH

Washington, Aug. 5.-William
Henry Gaines Snyder. the colored
prophet of the world destruction,
has been outdone His successful
rival is Il three months-old babe
living in a small village near War
saw, Russia. This youthful sub
ject Of the Car has predicted that
within wear there will be war
between the world powers. and in
three years the inhabitants of the
earth Will witness the coming of
the millennium. Now, if ''Profes-
sor" Snyder can beat that he is Il
dandy.
News of this infant wonder has
reached Washington in the form
of 4 letter received by a Seventh
street merchant, written by his
father, who is in Russia. Accord
ing to the communication. the
mother Of the child prophet left
the side Of the crib Il few minutes,
and directed her Seven-year-oId
daughter to look after him. For
some reason not explained the girl
began to cry, and while in the
midst of her tears she was startled
to hear the three months-old babe
address her in these words: "Don't
cry. Mamma will be back soon. "
According to the story told in
the letter the girl was frightened at
this wonderful manifestation and
ran out to bring back her mother.
The parent stepped up to the crib,
and while she was asking him
questions he suddenly spoke again,
saying. "Send for the rabbi !"
lie f;lDDl WAS summoned, DUT Inc
babe refused to discuss what was
on his mind while others were in
the room. and at his suggestion
everybody retired except the man
of the cloth, When they were
alone the child made the prediction
abont the clash of the powers and
the coming Of the millennium.
