In judging an opal color Is or the

in combination with yellow. blue and

is quite valueless. and the green opal
is not OF great value unless the color
is very vivid and the pattern very
good The color must be true thar is

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE
BORN IN 1861, NOT 177e.
BY w. A. MACY.

American Independence was
not born In 1776, as Is common
ly believed. II came to manhood
then, but II was born fifteen
years before. Not satisfied with
the ordinary processes of law in
dealing with the colonists, the
English government resorted to
"wrlts of assistance" which
gave officers the right to enter
and rsnsack any mans house.
The wrlts were attacked In the
courts, and James Otis, advocate
general for the crown, was called
upon to defend them. Rather
than do so he resigned his Iucra-
tive position, and took the other
side without pay. When the case
came to trial, In February, 1851,
the lawyer for the crown opened
with an elaborate plea for the
Wrlts. He was followed by OtIs's
fellow counsel, who made a
strong argument against them,
but In moderate terms. Then
came Otis, with a most wonder
ful speech. He went beyond the
particular legal question at Is
sue, and took up the whole mat
ter Of the constitutional reIa-
tlons between the colonies and
the mother country. At the bot
tom lay the ultimate question
whether Americans were bound
to obey laws they had no part In
making. Otis met the question
braVely, and answered II fatty In
the negative. For five hours he
held his hearers as In a trance,
pouring forth torrent Of eIo-
quence that overwhelmed the op-
position like an avalanche.
"Otis," said John Adams, "was
a flame of fire. He hurried all
before him. Every man Of an
Immense crowded audience ap-
peared to me to 90 away as
did, ready to take up arms
against writs of assistance. Then
and there" he adds, "the child
Independence was born. In fif-
teen years he grew to manhood
and declared himself free"

Will Game Commission
Give US a Chance ?

Will President Frank NJ Miller, of the
Game Commission, establish fish hatch.
cry in Bayou rEglise, in this parish and
give the outlet to the parish of St.
Charles?
We have been reliably informed that
President Miller and the fish expert, Mr..
Tullian. accompanied by Messrs. Cadow,
Picard, Patterson and Vial. Of st. Charles
Parish, visited Bayou rEglise ON Friday
and made thorough inspection of con-
ditlons existing there.
Bayou rEgise lies within the confines
of our parish and we object to any undue
discrimination wherein our parish loses
the natural advantages which are ours.
We have several 3logical' sites for the
hatchery and we urge President Miller
to kindly give US chance to demonstrate
our claims which are legitimate and
which we refuse to turn over to any
other claimant.

surrendered to the parish author
tiles and is now in prison.

veyed to the Charity Hospital in

Election Returns.

Judge Walter B. Sommerville
was, on Tuesday, elected asso-
ciate justice of the Supreme Court
to succeed Justice Francis T. Nj
cholls, who will retire. Lack of
opposition caused d light vote,
in fact the election was a mere
formality, and there was little
inducement for the voters to go
to the polls.
The First Supreme Court Dis
trict, in which Tuesdays election
took place, comprises the city of
New Orleans and the parishes of
st. Bernard, Plaquemines, JEFF
ferson, st. Charles and st. John
the Baptist.
The total vote for Judge Som
merville, as officially promulgat-
ed, for this parish was 2O2. In the
second ward Mr.. Elisee Schex-
neydre was nominated over Mr..
Florian Faucheux, to the posi-
ton of Justice of the Peace, by
a light plurality.
No definite date has been set
when Judge Sommerville will
take his seat, but it will probably
be next week. He viii be sue
ceeded as Judge of the Civil Dis
trict Court nf the parish of Or
leans by r District Attor-
ney J. Porter Parker.

Drought Threatens Crops.

The continual drought that
now prevails throughout this
section of the country for the
past sixty days is commencing
to cause worry among agricultu-
rists. Young plants are suffering
and field work is practically sus-
pended. Should good soaking
rain fail us within a few days
serious results are looked for.
The need for required moisture
is everywhere apparent and is
being generally felt.
The onion crop, which is the
truckers choice in the diversifi-
cation which is generally carried
out, is doomed by the drought
and insects incidental thereto.
The onions are affected by a pa
rasite or mite, very minute and
resembling lice which appear to
suck all vitality from the plants
which dry up soon after.
Outside of Lafourche, our par
ish has shipped more onions in
past seasons than any other, but,
from authentic reports at hand,
the shipments this season will be
curtailed considerably owing to
conditions above mentioned.
The onion seed crop is also
damaged and the seed supply,
always q source of anxiety by
the farmers, is predicted short.
The potatoe crop will be short
also and if, as above stated, we
do not get immediate relief, con-
ditions can be termed as critical
in the extreme.
