A- Baton Rouge dispatch of the 17th Inst. says: "The tax collectors of Bienville and St. Landry have settled with the State for their collections during the quarter ending Dec. 31, 1890" Mr. Octave Bddemuller, one of our Opelousas boys, now employed in L. ` s & Co. Ikdasice h pse, N1ew Orleans, has sent us a piece of music entitled: Adah Waltz, composed and arranged by him, and dedicated t Miss Adah Hollingsworth of Shrewpo . In view of the recent fires thIa have occurred in this parish, it would be well for all property owners to insure with CLEM.NTS & STAxGG, General Insurance Agents, OpelousMs. A colored boy, who had been hunt ing with other boys, on Bayou Bceuf a afw days ago, was found dead with a hole in the back of his head. Some of his companions,' accused of the crime, are in- jai. We have not learned the particulars. THE PARISH PRINTING. In October, 1888, L. & L. A. Sandoz, proprietors of the Opelousas Courier, and J. W. Jackson, proprietor of the St. Landry Democrat, proposed to the police jury to do the parish printing for $350 a year, which sum was to be divided, one-half for L. & L. A. Sandoz and the other half for Jackson. The jury unwillingly accepted the proposi tion, reserving the privilege, we be lieve, of continuing or ending the ar rangement after the' expiration of a year. The record, however, which is not in our possession, is the best evi dence on this point. January lt, 1889, Jackson leased his paper to E. P..Good win'for two years. Last Spring Good win died, bequeathing to Geo. O. Elms the unexpired lease. Elms subsequent ly sublet to L Landos. During San doz' sublase Jackson sold the proper ty of the Democrat printing office to ,C. C. Duson who came into possession of the same on January 1st, 1891.- The question now is, has the police ju -y the right to make a change in the paril printing, according to the re served privilege; and if not, who are the parish printers, L. & L. A. Sandoz (whose partnership in publishing the Ciuet rhas been dissolved) and J. W. Jackson (who owns no paper ?)-they e the original printers. Did Jack son's sale to Duson obligate Duso to Sthe parish printing?

New York Special to St Louis Republic. People starve to death in New York while their neighbors subscribe liberal ly to the famine-stricken of other lands. An emaciated baby boy was picked up by a janitor at 117 Green wich street last night, and is now at police headquarters. The little fel low's mother had evidently abandoned him rather than see him starve. Over in Jersey the authorities are kinder. They do not allow hungry people to starve to death; they send them to the workhouse as a matter of charity. A friend of the gossiper said to-day that it was no uncommon thing in Newark for ablebodied men to beg the police to arres t m as vagrants so that they may get gular lodgings and eat twice a day. Th in the State where almost every mari woman and child depends on the protected manu facturing industries for their daily hrl' n While the Lottery, during the twenty odd years of its existence, has done nothing voluntarily for the afflict ed classes in this State, it pretends, or its friends pretend, that it will do wonders in that line if the people will prolong its existence for twenty-five years more. Of course such promises are in the nature of a death-bed re pentance, as exemplified in the saying : When the Devil was sick, the Devil a saint would be; WhenCe Devil got well, the devil a saint was he. If the Lottery should get .nother' charter, the Lottery will be well again, and be the absolute controlling power in the State; then it can safely re pudiate and annul all the promises and obligations that have been pro posed by its friends, and oppress the people by increased taxation and other wise without limit, except the limit of the people's endurance. Now the Lot teryites would have our insane to die "on downy beds of ease," but the Lot tery has never given any money for that purpose. It should have given an earnest of its good faith. It re ally has given nothing, except for political corruption. It has violated its promises, one, at any rate, to give up its monopoly feature-it took good care to "influence" the legislature against chartering any other lottery. It has stopped at no expense and scrupled at nothing to preserve its ex istence and power, but it has never done anything for the people who have let it ivet apt ; ' rnikie i isie; the people have no faith in them. Mr. Morris claims to be a citizen of New York. We have very few paupers here, not more than we can take care of; if Mr. Morris wants to do good, let him stay in his own State with his money. The clipping above shows that p-ople .there are starving to death; such is not the case here. The insane man who died in jail here week before last, was not starved to death. Before the Lotteryites bewail the few insane who die here, blaming the the anti-lot tery people because Morris' money dor's not make their last hours luvr:i is, they had better persuade thei- !iyeAto relieve those .vho are start: death in his own city of New 'or. Last week w v wrote an item an nouncing the marriage at the Catholic church in th~. "ilace.on Wednesday or last week, of t .at v e handsome cou ple, Mr. .Alfred J.
