„Tiie Bayou. —On the morning
ot March J the Bayou in front of
lliibodaux had risen in 21 hours
about one inch and was 26 inches
below the highest point reached in
1882, or at previous occasions. On
Saturday morning another inch
was 'gained ; Sunday morning the
nuirx showed another gain of one
inch.
Monday morning indicated the
usual rise. On Tuesday morning
the mark indicated 20 inches below
high water mark. On Wednesday
but little change was noticed, but
the rise was resumed during the
day and full two inches! were gain
ed during Wednesday night, bting
ing it up to about 17 inches below
the highest mark of 1882, full high
enough to make it look nncomforta
bln and decidedly dangerous. On
Friday morning n fall of half an
inch was perceptible, the extra
rise ot the last two days having
been caused probably by' high tide
of the Gulf.

—Planting Sugar cane is now
completed for 18S3. The season
has been an excellent one—one the
like ot which is seldom experienced.
Little or no seed lias been daniag
ed to any extent, hence the plant
ing has beeu a good one. The tine
stand of plant in 1882 ought to
send forth an excellent stand ot
Rattoon.
Taking everything into couside
ration the prospect for a crop
should be as encouraging as was
that ot 1882, whilst the planter is
not alarmed about beiug overflow
ed. *
Corn and potatoes have been
planted in fair quantities whilst
preparation for a large planting of
Rice are being made, which will be
commenced at an early date.
—H. H. Ilausell, of New Or
leans, has in press and will soon is
sue, a uew and valuable book euti
tied Parish officers* guide, with nu
merous forms, by
IIon. Arthur F. Knobloch,
Judge of the 20tb.'Judicial District.
This book is a compilation of
laws and forms by which Justices
of the Peace aud Parish officers can
be enabled to understand aud learn
the extent of their legal powers
and duties.
This book, compiled and prepar
ed by a learned Judge, who is uo
ted for stern integrity and probity,
and for a thoiongh study of every
thing he undertakes, will be inval
uable not only to those whose du
ties it prescribes, but to every law
abiding citizeu.
—An-announcement which will
be of great interest to our lady
readers is the fact that Curtis and
Badeaux have secured the sole
ageucy for Tbibodaux of Remuauts
of Trimmings and laces put op in
bunches of from two to ten yards
each, and wbicb they are prepared
to sell at teu ceuts apiece. The la
ces are of Torchon. Cluuy, Yalen
demies, Blond, Breton, Languedoc,
Saxony, Maltrese aud Vermicelli in
over 200 different designs, while
the trimmings are of Crochet, Irish,
Everlasting, Cyprus, Cluny and
Nottingham, Each piece contains
the full number of yards marked
on the wrapper, aud the price is
lunch less than regular goods by
the yard.
Besides these goods, this firm
.have just opened a large ami well
selected stock of ladies' and chil
dren's shoes, notions, dry goods,
aud other objects too numerous to
mention.
As the prices are moderate, the
patronage extended to the new
firm is steadily incteasing.
—As was stated in the Sentinel
last Saturday, the sum of fifty do!
lars was seut by the people of Thib
odaux to the relief of the sufferers
in Jeffersonville who were lately
inundated by the high water in the
Ohio river. The following reply
has been received.
"JeftereonTille, Ind. Feb 23,1883.
The old adage "Bread cast upon the waters
will return after many days'* is again verified
in the receipt ot the Fifty dollars you seut us.
1 little thought then, (iu 1878) that wo would
ever be in a condition we now are. People
are helping us nobly. Toll youq folks we thank
tlieiu sincerely for tbeir kindness to us In our
distress; as they realize the condition wo are
in, it is needless to eay more."

—The late Levee Convention
which met at Baton Rouge ou Feb.
20tb. 18S3 recommended an assess
ineut to be demanded of the va
rious Parishes in the Fourth Levee
District as follows:
Pointe Coupee..............$2500
West Baton Rouge.......... 3000
Iberville........... 3000
Ascension...................1500
Assumption................. 2500
Lafourche...................1000
Terrebonne.................. 3000
St. Mary..................... 3000
Iberia...................... 1500
St. Martin.................. 500
St. Lvi.dry.................. 025
Avoyelles..................1000
It must be confessed that the
members of that convention were
very liberal towards the Parish of
Lafourche. Estimating the por
tion of Lafourche liable to injury
from river overflows, prorata to
her territory, the amount that La
fourche would pay, if her wlio'e
front was subject to subuiergement,
her assessment would be about
$6000.00
Why should tuey.—>N® man or womau
can do satisfactory work when tho brain
is dull, tlie nerves unsteady, the system re
laxed and they feel generally wretched
Why should anybody drag through their
work in this condition, when a bottle of
Parker's Ginger Tonic will at moderate
cost give them the strength and will to
perform their duties satisfactorily.,— Ed.
Mothers! Mothers !!
.Mothers!!!
Are yon disturbed at night and
broken cf your rest by a sick child
suffering aud crying with the ex
cruciatir.g pain of cutting teeth ?
If so, go at once and get a bottle
of MRS. WINSLOW'S SOOTH
ING SYRUP. It will relieve the
poor little sufferer immediately—
depend upon it; there is no mis
take about it. There is not a
mother ou earth who has ever
used it, who will not tell you at
once that it will regulate the bow
els, and give rest to the mother,
and relief and health to the child,
operating like magic. If is perfeot
ly safe to use in all cases, and
pleasant to the taste, and is the
proscription of one of the oldest
and best female physicians aud
nurses in the United States. Sold
everywhere. 25 cents a bottle.
