Special to the Commercial Journal.
A second letter from Mr. Eugene
G. Robichaux reached us on the
5th inst., dated Nagasaki Japan,
March 11th. The letter gives dif
ferent points visited in Japan.
Among the remarkable features in
the different cities visited is the
fact that there are so many busi
ness, places, stores, so much so ,

the Japanese are famous greeted
party at Tokio, Nagasaki, \okoha
ma. At one of the points the visi
tors were invited to witness the j
features prepared for the interna
tional athletic events. Wrestling
matches are often featured. Most
of the trip is being made on the
island portion by the ocean stea
mer and at no point is the chan
nel wider than a mile;the ingenuity
and skili with which this monster
vessel is managed is marvellous in
itself,among these thousands of roc
ky islands, picturesque with gorge
ous scenery, presenting as beauti
ful and panoramic scenes as man
wants to see. At Tokio the visitors
were taken all around to points of
interest, among others the palace
of the Emperor, but were unable to
gee the distinguished personage.
The old capital of Kanakuna, was
also visited and there the famous
Dibutan Statue, attesting Japan's
ancient ingenuity still stands, erec
ted in 1252. Yokohoma is Japan's
best port an is and ideal distributing
point and consequently there is a
world of business done in this city.
Quoting from the letter: \\ henl say
a pretty city I want to impress you
with the fact that it is a Japanese
City and that there is as much def
erence between it and American Ci -
ties as there is between Thibodaux
and the great city of Paris.The streets
of any and all cities of Japan re
mind me of a continuous bazaar,
every body seems to be in business
and I have seen more stores, tem
ples and castles than I expected to
see or ever expect to see in a life
time. Every city has its peculiari
ties, Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe are
each peculiar in themselves: but
they are the 6ame in so far as Japa
nese life goes". The civilization
of the country as a whole appears
not to be of the highest standard
and more attention could be paid
to morality. The day previous io
writing the letter Mr. Robichaux
states "Yesterday (March 10th)
was a big holiday all over the Em
pire, the celebration, of the anni
versary of the victory over Russia.
The demonstration of joy was wild
There were wrestling, contests
in public, the contestants partially
nude, with prizes for the victor,
bicycle races and all sorts of antics,
plays etc. Everybody was out,

last Sunday afternoon and was
largely attended.
was addressed by
Thomas Shaffer of the Louisiana
Division and he gave very good ad
vice speaking in the most eloquent
terms. Besides electing officers
other matters were brought up f
among others it was decided to
hold the annual banquet in Thibo
daux this year in the month of May,
the date was left to Commander
John Shaffer and the arrangement
was left in the hands of the officers.
A resolution was introduced to
build a monument and burial place
in Thibodau* and Houma' to bury
the veterans, objection was raised
due to the fact that the veterans be
ing of various religions it would be
impossible to build one in every
cemetery and the resolution was
accordingly defeated. Another re
solution was offered that a monu
ment or shaft he erected in both
towns in some appropriate place
and a committee consisting of the
officers was appointed for that pur
pose. The officers elected are as
follows : Jchn J- Shaffer, Comman

Lafourche 6. Labadie-Napoleon 2
Lafourche crossed bats with a
combination of the Labadie and
Napoleonville teams at Dautiu's
Park last Sunday. It was at first
intended that the game was to
be between Thibodaux and Napo
leon, but due to the fact that se»
veral of the Napoleonville players
were initiated into the Knights of
Columbus the same day the com»
biuation game was arranged. The
game was replete with good play
ing, but the locals were superior
in the game aud got the better of
everything, in the pitching, in the
hitting and in the fielding. The
locals made a record for tins num
ber of hits, tlie long distance bits,
as well as for the absence of errors
as compared with last Sunday's
game, only one error being made.

the inability of two of the regular
men being unable to participate

a good game, but the locals were
too much for them, they are cre
dited with some splendid plays,
very deserving, meriting the ap
plause received. Knobloch had
the better of the argument in the

home in Now Orleans.
Thibodaux has recently added
two new names to her roll of pro
fessional people, one Dr. Salles,
eye, ear nose, and throat special
ist, and the other Dr. Portier,
dentist, both came well recom
mended and are occupying offices
in the Bank of Thibodaux. The
latter is originally from Donaldson
ville. We welcome the new citizens
and wish them well in their new
home, which we trust they will like
as much as we do.
The town council of Washington
La. found an excellent way of
repudiating an appointment by
the Governor that they did not
endorse. The Governor appointed
one man marshal, despite recom
mendations sent in by the coun
cil and citizens for the appoint
ment of another. The salary of
the town marshal was then re
duced to one dollar per month,
and the individual they wanted
appointed was elected private
watchman at a salary of thirty
per month. Truly there are
more ways than one of killing a
cat without shooting it.
