K. 0. R. j
On Sunday last, Aug. 1st, among j
the excursionists from New Orleans, I
was a delegation of the Order of
the Knights of the Golden liule, on
a visit officially and fraternally to
Thihodaux Castle No. 136, of Thib
oilaux. i
The delegation was composed of I
Mrv. A. M. Sharp. Grand t'omman i
d r; Mi. E. T. Ducherr, Grand |
Secretary and Mr. St. Fileal j
Grand Treasurer; Mrs. L. Sharp,
Secretary of Germania Castle j
No. 307 ; Mrs. Oerlien, Vice \
Commander of Germania Cas
tie No. 307, and others who were
received at the depot by comrades
Dezauche and Grisamore and es
corted to the Franklin House whore
rooms were prepared for their ac
commodation.
At three o'clock P. M. a special
meeting was held iu the Castle
room, wlieu the visitors were receiv
ed with the honors of the Order,
aud some time passed in iuler
change of opinions upon the pro
gtess and usefulness of the Order,
after which the visitors were taken
in one of Tetreau's conveyances by
comrades McBride, Dezauche and
Biiiniugs, oti a visit to St. Joseph's
Church, with the grandeur and
magnificeuee of which they were
highly impressed. Thence
they were driven around
Town, which they found to be
a much larger place than they had
expected to find, and with the gen
eral appearance ot whicli they were
agreeably surpiised. Stopping at
the house ot District Deputy Com
matider, McBride, they were pleas
antly entertained by the good lady
thereof, whence, alter a visit, to the
Firemen's Hall, they were escorted
to the depot aud embarked for their
homes.
They expressed themselves much
gratified with the hospitality shown
them by their comrades here, aud
citizens generally.
The Older of the K. G. 1{. is a
beneficiary order similar to several
others, and dtilers witli them iu
this, that the holder of an endow
nient certificate receives not ouly
the amount for which the same
calls, but also the accrued benefits,
otherwise aud the amount of assess
meats the deceased has paid during
his membership.
It also has a class of members
who are over 50 aud and under 60,
which enables elderly persons, who
cannot obtain membership iu other
orders to become members and do
something for the benefit of their
families iu case of death.
Tbibudaux Castle now numbers
29 members, after au existence of
t wo years.
The Children's Frolic.*— And
now the third Saturday of August
approaches, when Firemen's Hall
will be given np to the little boys
and girls tor a frolic. A frolic that
will be entirely their own, not to
be interfered with in auy shape by
the big folks.
All the children in the town and
vicinity should attend aud have a
regular romp.
If they are too little to go by
themselves, they cau invite their
nurses to go with them—if they
have no nurses, they may iuvite
their mothers to attend—if they
have no mothers they can take
their big sisters along—if they
have uo big sisters they can call
upon their venerable.auuts—it they
have no aunts they cau iuvite their
eousius—if they have uo cousins
Messrs Theophile Bergeron and
Max Coiutment left on Tuesday, on
an excursion to Galveston, Hous
' ton aud San Antonio, foi the pur
pose ot enjoying the Texas breezes
and obtaining a little recreation
from their arduous toils.
The Sentinel wishes them a
pleasant trip and an agreeable
time:
On the trip of the James H. Let
eiier were a couple of distinguished
gentlemen who could not swim—
something not unusual, however,
but rather inconvenient to bathers
in the "deep blue sea/' Of suspi
cions natures, those two worthies
smelt mischief ahead, and decided
not to go out into lie sea wmIi the
other battlers, who, not having the
fear ot old Neptune before their
eyes, might incontinently souse
them into the s.ilty waves and give
them what is termed in modern
language, a good ducking,
8o one quiet evening they went
ofi by themselves and ventured out
into the waves until they reached
a depth that brought the water
above their knees.
Here they halted and congratu
lated themselves that they could
have a nice hath without getting
wet above the waist.
This tact and the sensation occa
sioned by the waves rolling by
them, brought out the concealed
oratorical powers that lay dormant
in their bodies, and one of them i
7 j
began to repeat the famous lines of j
Lord Byron :—
"Roll ou thou dark, blue oceau,
Ro—o—o—/' Just then a big wave ]
came along and lifted orator and
frieud off tbeir feet and extended
them broadside in the water.
Then began a series of llounder
ing, somiuersaults and acrobating
tumbling that would have raised
the envy of a first class gymnastic
club. With oue hand hold ot his part
tier and the other extended in the !
air, the orator began to lepeat tbo |
old lines so dear to the heart of the
superannuated schoolboy, "Help me
Cassius or—''between the rolling,
waves, that sent them 30 feet tow
ard shore, whilst the uudercurreut;
hurled them back 35 feet.
Friends went to their relief, led
them on shore and placed them ou
a log to dry.
The project proposed by Capt.
Guiou, for a test of corn culture,
has been con ineuted upon very fa
vorabiy by the N. O. Bee, the St.
Martinsville Hevtille aud other pa
pers.
A list is now open for subscribers
at the Post office, iu care of the Ed
itor of the Sentinel, that ought
to be filled up rapidly, so that a
meeting of subscriber eau soon be
held, in order to lay out a plan of
operations for the next year.
It matters little whether persons
think that corn is an object of small
moment, the point to be ascertain
ed is, how much cau be growu per
acre and at what cost, when a lair
chauce is given that cereal.
Experience and practical tests
wtll alone suffice. Theory will not
solve the riddle.
About September 10 the re-union
of their old folks will take place iu
Firemeu's Hall. A large uutnber
ot the old people iu Lafourche, Ter
rebonue aud Assumptiou are expec
ted to be present ou that occasion
and have a good time iu talkiug over
old times, renewing ancient friend
ships, and passiug a pleasant day
together.
At night the Hall will be open
for the young folks to enjoy them
selves.
