Echoes OF the Past.

DR.. James Ray, of this place,
killed an eagle last Wednesday,
within the town corporation,
measuring six feet and nine
inches from tip to tip of wings,
and two feet and six inches from
the beak to the end of the tail.
The same paper of June 3,
1871, had the following items:
The eternal contest between
labor and capital is beginning in
this country to assume the Eng
lish aspect. The Trades Unions
are no longer simply protective
of the interests of the workman
but they are seeking to establish
a tyranny over the capitalist.
At the recent election for
mayor and councilmen of our
sister town of Washington, the
following persons were chosen:
Mayor, Francis Trainor. Coun-
cilmen: J. j. Hicks, w. Curley,
Geo. O. Elms and Leroy Nc
Nicol.
The next two items are clipped
from the Journal of Sept. g..
1871:
A party of ladies and gentle
men, residing here, returned
this week from a visit of ten days
to e-Cheney Springs, in this
parish. The pleasures of the
place consist in hunting, fishing,
and bathing. While there, the
party killed twelve deer, two
wolves, and one wild turkey.
DIED-On the 23d ult., on
Bayou Boeuf, in this parish,
Vim. Allen, aged about 70 years.
He came to this parish, from
New York, about As years ago.
The Opelousas Courier of May
20, 1871, has the following:
POOR LOUISIANA.
Under this caption the Mobile
Register gives the following sad
but truthful picture Of the con-
dition of affairs in this State.
The public school system of
Louisiana has been turned
over a mongrel black and tan
legislature to the tender mercies
Of ignorant, beastly negroes and
thieving carpet-baggers, and
henceforth the blacks are to be
forced into white schools by law.
This would result in the utter.
breaking up Of these schools if
the people retained enough spirit
to resist the outrage by taking
their children out of schools to.
which negroes are admitted. A
sad change has come over the
people Of Louisiana under the
iron-heel despotic rule of ne
groes, adventures and bayonets.
They have either lost all man
hood and love Of liberty, and
sunk down into the apathy Of
the Mexicans, about their po-
.litical rights, or have given them
selves up, body and soul, to the
Establishments of rings, stocks,
and office.
It's melancholy to think Of SO
cultivated and elegant a COM
munity as New Orleans, once so
sensitive about its privileges,
tamely submitting to the plum
dering schemes of Warmeth and
his gang of renegade Confeder-
ates and fshy Democrats, and
the enforcement of mixed
schools by q purchasable Iegis-
lature, made up in part Of venal
white men and negroes, with all
the vices of slaves. The press
which should ever stand as a.
rock between these vampires of
carpet-baggery and the people,
contents itself with two horrible
exceptions) lwithmild, depreca-
tory pIatitudes about these helm
Gus outrages upon the liberties of
the city andstate, and with
chronicling the social and poll
teal movements Of distinguish
edcarpet-baggers scalawags and
negroes, and putting quack med

EDDIE FOY VISITS
BIG FORD FACTORY
Comedian Who Drives Ford
Says He Has Won Enough
on Car to Pay for Two.

on Car to Pay for Two.
Denver, Nov. 18. Crisp and
breezy despite his a%ge-Which he
isn't telling around-Eddie Foy,
comedian, climbed into the cal
CUM gaze and took his place
along side Miss Billie Burke
when he visited the factory of
the Ford Motor Company recent
ly and let a certain inquisitive
press agent do an interview with
the approved Al an D~ale-esque
eclat.
Eddie with his company was
presenting "Over the River in
Detroit nights, sleeping morn
ings and seeing the town after
moons.
When home Eddie occasionally
takes his eight children-yes,
eight-that's what he said-out
for an airing in his Ford, so when
he was in Detroit he wanted to
see the factory that built the car
that can hold all of his family at
one time.
As soon as he had stepped in
side the factory, Allen Dale's
understudy was on the job.
Mr.. Er-er Foy, I believer
The interview was sparring for
an opening.
'Eh-what's that, yes, yes,
I'm it., :" the comedian countered.
Nice day, Nh. Foy, don't you
think?o
Quite right, and yes, I
think, that is occasionally"
How do you like our city??''
The interviewer forgot his reso-
luton to be original and brought
out the old standby. It's a safe
and sane question that can be
asked during the course of any
interview and will always get
you by with the editors.
Fine city, fine city. One of
the most beautiful cities I have
visited" This sort of reply is
always made to this sort Of ques-
tion); and the girls here are the
most beautiful of any I've
Are any of your eight child
rem as funny as you??"
All of Them"
The interview was now going
on famously, Mr.. Foy was reply
ing to each question with care.
And the press agent interview
thought it high time to haul
around to the one topic of impor-
lance to him-the one he is paid
for being interested in.
Got a car, Mr.. Foy?" he ask
ed with an attempt at nonchal-
ance.
You can bank all you have on
it." said the comedian, getting
enthused, and it's Ford"
Here was his story. Mr.. Foy|
Eddie Foy-owns a Ford and
he likes it.
You like it then?" he ques-
toned adroitly.
Like it? Why certainly; that
is why / bought it. I've been
satisfied since or | would have
sold it. That's me every time.
If / don't like a thing ! sell it.
why do you like it,"
Because it goes. I'll tell you
a little story: My friend John
7. Kelly. who, by the way, owns
a big S. 600 car, offered to bet
500 dollars / couldn't drive
my Ford car from the Casino
in New York City to my
in New Rochelle, in an
hours time. I took him up"
Did you Win?'
Win? When | reached home
with the official timer in my ma
chine, / laid down and took a.
nap. After a snooze of a quar-
ter of an hour the man awakened
me and told ms the hour was up.
we had made the trip in forty
five minutes, SO I called John on
the phone and told him to come
across with 500. Why, say. my
friend, I've won enough money
