M. D. Lagax.—W e take particular pleas
are in calling attention to the advertise
ment of our old and popular friend Mr. M.
D. Lagan, who has succeeded to the well
known firm of Lagan and Makison at tho
old stand Nos.fi and8 Common St. near the
Steamboat, landing, New 3rleaus. Mr. La
gan is an extensive dealer in hardware,
ship chandlery, oils, paints gas pipes and
fittings and iron wire etc., He also raanii
factures steam-trains and a* ull'iine of plan
tatiou and other Machinery, works, co[>
per, brass, sheet iron «te-which he also j
keeps on hand. In fact, his line establi-h.
ment is a perfect emporium in his liue. :
His facilities to sell at the lowest rates are !
ofthebest, and nowhere can be found a j
mere liberal, genial, and accommodating
merchant than is Mr. Lagan, who now j
prUSi sl ent !
of the City Council of New Orleans. Mer
chants and Planters in his liue would do
well to give Mr. Lagan a call.
—A correspondent, of the Baton
Rouge Troth says: Saturday night
April 21st, the guards from Lake
Jackson plantation, went to a ne
gro ball near Brazoria, (Texas)
with revolvers and kuives as they
had often done before. In the me
lee that ensued, Boudreaux, of
Thibodaux, and Louey were killed,
It is believed here that the un
fortunate young man mentioned
above is Myrtil Boudreaux, young
est son of tbo late Sylvere Bou
dreaux of Thibodaux.
Information is yet in doubt, and
it may be some other man, as many
persons named Bondreaux have re
moved west from Lafourche.
—Gov. Ben. Butler of Massachu
setts has stirred up a lovely busi
ness that has beeu going on in
strict, honest, virtuous Massachu
setts.
In the Asylum for insane and or
phan children, |he has discovered
the fact that childreu have been
starved to death, that constant dos
es of opiates are given them to
silence their cries, that their little
bodies have been pitched away in
to holes at night, that they have
been given to physicians for dissec
tion, in short, practices that are a
disgrace to humanity and a shame
to auy people on earth.
Had snch things been done in
the South the Boston hypocrites
would have yelled themselves
hoarse and in indignation, torn off
hair enough from their heads to
make a spring mattress.
OUR .SCHOOLS.
Pope, who was a student ot man
kind, wrote many years ago,
"As the twig is bent, so the tree's inclined:
'i'ts education forms the common mind,"
a sentiment which the people of
TllibodaUX seem to fully appreciate.
j ThibodaUX

advantages thau any of its Size ill
That the boast is not
| Louisiana.
i t r.___ . . - . ..
hi lain, A ^piopose to give to the
readers ot the Sentinel u suednet
accouut of a recent visit made to
, . . .
the various schools in tho corpora
i tiou, beginning with the
'< GUION ACADEMY.
.
I he Academy is a public school,
1 . .1 ii
maintained ten months annually
by taxation, by donations from the
Peabody fun , ;.ud by entertain
incuts given by the children. The
teachers are
Mr. L. E. Micludet,
principal; Miss Clara Levrou, first
assistant; Mrs. Emma Lambert,
second assistant, and Mrs. Clara
Stewart, third assistant. The roll
, 5
shows a total of 139 boys and girls,
with an average attendance of 134.
The building is of brick, two sto
rjesliigh built upon a lot. which is
the gift of the late Judge Guion.
The spacious rooms and grounds
are kept neat by the pupils, who
take much pride iu their alma mu
ter, but the building itself is old,
and, like old folks, like all things
, old, it is not as solidf as iitits prime.
• The principal and the third assis
j tant occupy the second floor, which
' is not divided iuto rooms, the re
suit of this arrangement being very
Ur,salisfact ory- Tl,ese teachers com j
j plain that, although the strictest
discipline is maintained, when
hearing their classes it is sometimes
, ue.,. men classes it is sometimes
almost impossible for them to hear,
01 to be heard. I hope tue direc
tors will give this matter due con
sideration before the end of the
sessiou There tre in this room
- ' \ , .' " r ° uia > |
bo 3 s >_ ot .whom Louis Llum,
!
Paul Tliibidaux, .Thomas Pier
son and Walter McEvers are
the most industrious. Eddie
McCulla is the best boy, always
quiet and studious.

iu bearing, obedieut and respectful
to their teachers, courteous and to
their school mates. A iiarsh word
has uever been kuowu to escape
their lips since the present princi
pal has been iu charge.
In Miss Levrou's room there are
35 girls; Minnie Thompson, Emily
Riviere and Myrthe Robicbaux con
stituting the first class. The most
studious are Minnie Thompson,
Emily Riviere, Myrthe Robichaux,!
Bertha Brand, Louise Thibodaux,)
Henrietta Marx, Hannah n 0
man, 'Celine Alberti, Mary
Riviere, Ella
Cointement,
Boudreaux and gAlice Trone. Tho
most quiet is Emily Picon. The
studies are the same as those fol
lowed in the principal's depart
ment. The girls were very tidy,
forming a happy group. Miss Lev
ipu may be pardoued if, as she said,
s^ie is proud of her many daugh
ters.
Mrs. Lambert, second assistant
has charge of the primary depart
ment, the children numbering 48
boys and girls. The most oiderly
iu this room are Kate Delany, Jos
eph Richaid and Wilfred |Richard;
and Ida Gaude, Mamy Gnillot,
Charles Thompson, Ferdinand Du
pr6e and Charles Dupree are the
most industrious.

liteness by the teachers to whom
he is indebted for the facts con
taiued in this article.

—Plums are ripeuing! and the

—The Capitolian Advocate of
May 5 devotes au entire column to
the "Sweet Bye and Bye."
"Speaking of the history of
Louisiana and its vast improve
ment since ^Democratic rule came
into power it says:
Three year* have elapsed and thongh some
of the provisions of the new Constitution
have been eluded by tho Legislature, that

; taxes have been materially reduced, and the
licenses, properly graded, nre no longer the
burthen they used to be ; railroads are being
built; court-houses have heeu erected; iu
many instances parishes and municipalities
have emerged from indebtedness; the appro
priations having been limited to the revenues
the public credit of the State is approaching
a sound basis ; the State University, Insane
Asylum and other public institutions are

"'here at work effacing tho ruins left iu the
: wake of the dark period.
To tllis "e avid our approval and
certainly find much to restore con
^'* ent5e to the people of Louisiana,

i w <>rd about the Swamp Land Grab
,10vr 0,1 which equals any of
the famous robberies concocted by
* ke ^ a< i ,ca l party?
Is that a reason why the City
Boaid of Sew Orleans should play
a li,tIu S ame , of Bunko and gobble
"P some 20 )°^° dollars that,^belong
to tbe Parish School Boards ?
We be,iev « in reform iu earnest,
and ia tl,e democratic party. We
can endorse no land grabs, nor
scIl0 ° l f u,ul P illa ge because Demo
crats are tl,e S u,lt y ones. Does the

j -The killing o? Davis by Phil.
Thompson* Junior in Kentucky is
another of those deplorable affairs
that
that occasionally happen IU
this country. The law affords no
remedy for a man whose home has
been invaded bv a villain, and reu

| the wiles and machiuatious ot a
scoundrel.
The shot gun or the pistol seems
to be the only remedy by which
the destroyed honor of a man can
be effaced.
It is a fearful remedy, but one
! that seems to be sanctioned bv the
almost universal sentiment of the
! l)eop | e 0 f the United States,
.. . . .
| Anything that the laws would
inflict would be laughed to scorn

man's homo.
Deuce men will seek such relief
as he can find, and blood will be
shed until such outrages cease.

— Tbe statement of Governor
McEnery jp regard to the Swamp
Ealld Grab lias been published
Euer y wa * inaugurated into his
present high office, and hence he
cannot be held responsible in any
sha P e for tl,is robbery of the peo
l >,e h >' transferring alkher valuable
some days ago. It is well kuowu
that the law under which this swiu
die of the people of Louisiana is
permitted and the contracts con
nected therewith were all passed
and entered iuto before Gov. Mc
lands into the hands of third par
ties. Vc have never considered
that any blame should attach to I
the Governor, nor that there were (
any reasons to accuse him as a par
ty thereto. But one thing is pret
ty plain, that all the valuable lands
belonging to Louisiana are gliding
out of her possession into the
hands of other parties, with very
little profit to the State.
—The great question in Kachi
toches just now is the Arithme
tical problem. "Two girls met
three other girls and kissed, how
many kisses were exchanged. 44
A half dozen probably would
have been sufficieut.
The problem iu Thibodaux is
"Suppose two boys meet two girls
iD the Arbor in the garden aud
kiss. How many kisses will be ex
changed. 44
Tub Safest Way.— The safest and sur
est way to restore the youthful color of
the hair is furnished by Parker's Hair Bal
sain, which is deservedly popular from its
superior cleanliness.
If there is one subject more dear
or more important to the goovl peo
pie ot this State than who shall be
their rulers, we are now at a loss to
call it to mind. We have had sad
expeiieuce in this matter. Caticns
es, and combinations have hereto
fore selected our rulers and the peo
pie have been caMed to the polls
by one blast of the bugle, a bugle
more magical in its effect than that
of Roderic Dhu. The only qnalifi
cation that the voters have been
asked to consider has, heretofore,
been, whether the candidate was a
Democrat or a Republican. We
can not for the life of us see how
any bad result can arise f'oin such
occasional discussion by a "country
sbeet" "although representing th<^
voters and not the politicians ot
the State. The said exchanges tie
sire to wait till the eve of tlie elec
tiou and let the politicians and
wire workers exclusively attend to
that w'hich so nearly anti so dear
ly concerns the whole people. Gen
tleinen, the people are more tho
roughly in earnest to day iu regard
to their future rulers ihuu ihey
have ever been ! They have asked
in their own political households
for bread and have so often been
giveu a stone, that they have at
last reached a limit where they
will cease to ask for their own, but
will in lien tbereot demand it.—
Marksville Bulletin.
Good Advice.,— You will prevent and
cure the greater part of the ills that afflict
mankind in this or any section, if you keep
your stomach, liver and kidneys in perfect
working order. There is no medicine
known that does this as surely as Parker's
Ginger Tonic. It will keep' your blood
rich and pure, and give you good health at
little cost. See other column.
