LANDRY. SEPTEMBER 8. 1905
Death of Gen. @. A. Bullion:

The many friends of Gen. Bull
lion, not only in S.. Landry, where
he resided for a number of years
after the war, but throughout the
State, will learn with sincere re-
gret of his violent taking off on
the 29th of August last, on his
Hope Villa plantation near Baton
Rouge. He became entangled in
the machinery Of his gin, and his
arm and leg were severely lacer-
ated, rendering amputation neces-
sary, but the shock was too great
for his advanced years, and he
died the next morning.
Gen. Bullion was a native of
Baton Rouge. He was a valiant
Confederate soldier, serving dur
ing the last days of the Confed-
eracy as courier to Gen. John b.
Gordon.
He was prominent i'll public af-
fairs, having represented Ascen-
ton parish in the State Legisla-
ture at one time and was formerly
Major-General commanding the
Louisiana division u. G. V.
He leaves a widow and several
children and other relatives, to
whom we extend our sincere con-
dolence in their sad bereavement.

Letter to Rev. MIR. Crews.
OPELOUSAS.

Rev. Sir: In making pastoral
visits, of course you do not con-
slider your pleasure or comfort OF
ease; you go where your people
live. But you have two sets of
feelings in going about-can't
help tive all have. But you
especially have, for part Of yoar
business is sympathy. Weli-kept
lawns and welI-tilled fields, nice
homes and nice people are cheer
full to you, as they are to every
one. Tumble down buildings,
poor fences, men harrassed by
burdens too heavy for them, over
worked women and dirty-faced
children, you may be strong to
get on with; but you would be
more than human to find inspira-
ton in misery.
Paint divides the two sorts of
people: one paints, aud the other
don't. Or, perhaps, the thrifty
paint we'll; the unthrify paint i'll.
To paint we'll is to keep paint
sound. There are two ways to do
it: one is bound to paint often;
the other to use good paint.
It costs about half as much to
paint Devoe as to paint with any
other paint; for Devoe takes fewer
gallons than mixed paints and
wears twice as long rs lead-and-
oil.
The thrifty and comfortable
have the art Of using money more
wisely. How lucky they are! and
how happy! Yours truly,

The Yellow Fever Situation.

While the yellow fever situation
this week shows a marked improv-
ment over last week in New Or
leans, the condition in the coun-

everyone in it.

Peace at Last.

The Russian and Japanese plen-
ipotentiaries who met at Ports
mouth, N. H., on the 9th of Au-
gust to try to agree upon terms
of peace between their respective
countries, this week signed the
treaty, the last article of which
was adopted on the goth. BY it
Japan secures every claim that
she had resolutely insisted upon
except the payment of an indem-
nifty. That claim she magnanim-
ously yielded, sooner than go on
with a murderous war in which
she had won nearly every conflict.
Commenting on the treaty of
peace, the New York World says:
Japan has shown to the marvel
ing world a war almost without
blunders, soldiers without fear,
army contractors without graft,
citizens without selfishness. She
finishes the lesson by announcing
a peace of truly Christian gener-
osity and forbearance with the
gravity and decorum which so
great and benefcent a work mer-
it's.
At first sight it may seem that
Russia has gained moral victory
in that she carries her point in
refusing to pay an indemnity. But
when second sober thought sets
in; when the treaty of peace has
been actually signed and deliv-
cred, has become a part of the
law of nations, part Of the actual
obligations of Russia and part of
the conceded rights of Japan;
when we see as accomplished facts
Port Arthur in the hands Of the
Japanese, Corea and Manchuria
surrendered by Russia, and the
more valuable half of Saghalien
and the southern line of the Chi
nese Eastern Railroad turned over
to the Japanese, it must be plain
that these facts carry with them
the entire remuneration of Rus
sla's policy in the Far East and
an abandonment of her program
of expansion toward the Pacific.
The treaty cannot mean any
thing but humiliation and defeat
for Russia and triumph for Japan.
Russia will be driven out of China
for a century to come. Her pres
tige in the Far East is gone, and
Japan is in the ascendant, her ma
tional security accomplished, and
her station among the great pow
ers of the world recognized.
As a result of the peace OF
Portsmouth, the United States
beyond doubt stands higher to-
day in the estimation of the world
thar ever before. In the person
of President Roosevelt this ma
ton has held the scales evenly
balanced between Japan and Rus
sia, has resolutely kept them to
their work, and in spite of jeal.

their reconciliation a durable ben.
