speaking of the above attraction
the Brookfeld Budget says:
Zone of the best dramas ever
seen in Brookfeld was played at

titled, "Was She to Blame," a

tion in four acts. Each member
Of the troupe was an artist in his
or her line.
Arthur Olmi as the boy artist
looked and acted the part to the
life. The other characters were
all we'll taken. The whole play
formed a beautiful pastoral pic
ture never to be forgotten.
Miss Beatrice Gordon, a classic
and emotional actress, as Diane
held the audience spell bound
throughout the play"

and development of our city is
not only attracting capital and
labor, but also the professional
class. We learn that DIR. Lester

is the son Of the late Austin D.

left here quite early in life, earned
his way to merited success, and
died prematurely. Though not
personally acquainted with DR..
Williams, we learn that he pos
sesses many Of the excellent traits
of character with which his father
was endowed, and is equipped
with a thorough academical and
professional education. He will
be warmly welcomed here by his

The people do not get the ben
efts that the taxation should
bring. 1t is not used as it should
be, and too much of 1t is squan-
dered to maintain the sinecures
for the political henchmen who
constitute a species of Praetorian
guard for the oligarchy that has
debased the public spirit far more
than the carpet-bagger oligarchy,
after which it is patterned, would
have dared to attempt. We should
want no million dollar bond deal
if our political Augean stables
were cleansed and the people
came into their own.-Wave.

The slashing Blanchard has
been getting since he stuck his
bony fingers into the affairs of
New Orleans and scratched away
the political rights of the people
of that city has been worse than
that given Packard just before
his overthrow on September IA,
1874. It is the opinion of some
legal lights that if the grand jury
of Orleans indicts him for bri-
berry, barter or trade, and a con-
viction follows, that Louisiana
will be without Governor until
Lieut.. Gov. Sanders can be sworn
in. We have no tears to she'd

Letter to Il. B. DubuissOn.
OPELOUSAS.

Dear Sir: Lead-and-oil is not
good paint; don't wear; the rule
is, as everyone knows, repaint in
three years.
Devoe lasts six, in the same
way-allow wide margin in all
such statements. What does it
mean, TO last? It means the same
with both.
AS to covering: that's another.
Here's an instance.
Mr. J J Hall, Sheffield, Pa,
painted two houses, lead-and-oil ;
took 40 gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gallons
Devoe for the same two houses /;
returned 10 gallons.
The paint that covers lasts; it's
all paint, true paint, and full
measure. Lead and oil is all
paint but not good paint; the lead
wants zinc. Better paint Devoe
Yours truly
