Inent in its local, editorial and advertising columns. The Edto is a staunch Democratic journal ind although we frequently differ very widely in regard to thbb pro per way of "running this District" We heartily wish it all of the suc cess it so richly merits. in the early part of this mouth the public schools throughout the patish reopened, and quite a na m ber of out young lads and misses left for educational institutions in other parts of the State. Among ,,these we may mention from town, -iies tate Young now an the Sacred Heart Convent at Grand Cotean, Miss Olive Broussard, at ~lMont Carmel Convent, Vermil ionville, Ma-ters Frank Young, at St. Clhrles College, Grand COteau, Henry Chevis at Centen ary Colegue,4ackson la. The public first learned of the withdrawal of Mr. Acklen from the Congressional contest in this district, through the columns of the Morgan City Review, whidh published the fact the day before it was announced in dtiy other journal, and consequently Bro. Woodcock is highly elated there at. We have received the"firstnunt ber of the Weekly States, a hand some 7'-column folio, icontaining 28-columns of solid reading mat ter set in small type. It is the weekly editioh of the ]aily:at c and is Democratic to 'ihe core.

If they ever had any doubts be 'fore, the members of the'Louisiga Press Association are flow thor oughly convidced, not only f the beauty of Batdk 'Rouge as a city, but, best of all, that its inhabi' tants are public spirited and most hospitable. As ,ordial, hearty, ihole-souted entertainers they certainly stand At. A'lie kind pese and attentkin they showed the newspaper fraternity 'cannot be excelled. Philadelphia Record : The Cin cinnati Enquirer says that the vote cast this year in Ohio is one for every 3.29 of population. This beats Ihiladelphia. West-ward the staff ol boxes takes its way. The -urious cointidence that the propertion of voters to the total populatiou corresponds exactly with the mystical figures in Oakes Ames' note-book-when he was putting money where it 'would do most good-seems to have been overlooked by out Philadel phia dontetporary. These igures seem destined to follow Garfield as a curse. The following is from the Lafa yette ./dvertiser, every line of which is true, for we well remenr her those happy days he speaks of Which we spent togethier in our boyhoold It was With unfetgued pleasure thatwe met in attending the Press Convention Messrs. John .and Leon Jastreinski, friends of times gone by. Our last meeting with Leon was during the War, just af ter the hard fought battte of Fred ericksebrgh, Va. Time has dealt gently with them and fortune h been benificent towards them. Many of our older citizenq remeah .ber them when they were -boys living here,--bins of Dr. astre - ski better known. as Dr. Vincent. Now, they are highly respected citizens of Baton Rouge,- Leon being her honored Mayor, and the able editor of the Capi4olime of that city. The railroad is bringing some strange customers into Opelousas. The other day we met a felloW all the way from Banger, Maine, Whb asked us what prospects would there be for the eftblishment of a "Grab.or" manufa ory here? We bad nevsr heard of the same, and inquired Whas it was. He looked surprised at our jgnoqp, and ek. plained that it *as a T trivate by which the finest kind of new leather could be made out of old .w.rn-out bo0ste hoe, scraps of ilting, etc. We roared, and he passed on. AnotliM was anxious to dispose of a recipt for making alls.eds of liquors out of corn cobs, molasses, and pepper. And still another had an ingenious ap paratns for taking pork sausages, he said, out of the poorest beef. We told the two latter fellows to cast anchor right here, that this was just the place for them. The last heard of the "Grsgor" man, he was wending his way in the direction of Washington.--Saint tadry 1Undrat. The Right Kind of Talk. The Picayune thus sharply, comments upon the late political outrage in Indiana. Decency forbids that it ihbould be'digni6ed by the name of eledolan: It is becoming clear that the Republicans did not achieve a popular'victory in Indiana. Their success was due to fraud -coltin ization, repeating, and the trter ferenice of4Yw ited States marshals. It is-a triumnoh which brands i.th shamenthose who hope to prdoit I)y it--ull.dLept 'Garfield -and Ar thur. Those gentlemen 'wear so mnury scars'of that description that one more or less can niake but little d.ff reuce to either of them. But it was a victory every way worthy of the Republican ireord, and precisety what might have beent expected from the party which has hesitated at no crime from the murder of Mrs. Surratt to the theft of the iPresidency ; from the party' of bayonets and re turning boards; from the party which has honored with the high est nominations withiu its gift a man who perjured himself to es cape the odium df receiving a bribe, and a mean who was dis charge from the Neiv York Cus tom-Hlouse for petldation in office. The legitimate resilt of the In diana election should be a great popular reaction in Tavor of the Democratic ticket. 1ven decent Republicans 'should discla.i all pride in a success which must bring into world-wide disrepute the system rf txniversal Oaffrage. A GREAT EEL.-Last Friday evening a large eel measuring about six and a quarter feet long and about nine inches around the body got of the water wheel at tLe Cypress Mi. factory-which is one haiidred and twenty horse power--and checked it. It caused a two hours delay in the working of the factory, until the sleek thing could be extricated. It was then turned over to'or clever friend, A Kachlhofer, who says the eel .is the best table fish to bp found in American wafers.--Florence (Ala) Gazelte. Every man miet work at some thidg.
