SATURDAY, : FEBRUARY 12, 1890.

Three steamers were lately making regularweekly trips between Washington and NewOrleans. Now there is only one.

We understand that but little business ofimportance has been trautncted in our Dis-trict Court this week.

We understand that the Supreme Court hasour regulator cases under advisement andthat a decision may he looked for in a fewdays.

The Times-Democrat of New Orleans, leadsall the newspapers published in the South-Daily ald Weekly. It has the largest circu-lation.

Representative Robertson has secured afavorable report from the House committeeon buildings and grounds on his bill appro-priating $100,000 for a public building atBaton Rouge.

In a recent Washington special SecretaryWindom states that in a few days he hopes tobe able to get out the advertisement askingfor contracts for the Monroe public building.That for Opelousas ought to soon follow.

The Acadia Sentinel, published at aynue,has changed hands. Mr. Oscar Ih. Alpha, for-merly of the St. Mary Banner, having pur-chased the plant and good will of the paper.It will remain Democratic.

"In the first publication of the parish revenueordinance, in our issue of the lst inst., the taxfor threshing rice was erroneously given at$ _00 per thousand barrels, instead of $2.00 per 11000. The mistake was corrected in our sub-sequent issues, however.

Among recent improvements we note thatour popular Coroner, Dr. R. M. Littell, has hada new roof put on his residence, added a spa-

oleus dining-room thereto,and otherwise reju- 1vanated his premises; also, that the residenceof Mrs. H. Latour has been enlarged to twiceits former size and completely renovatedthroughout.

On Thursday last, Judge Js. M. Moore, oneof our most esteemed citizens, who had beencritically ill for several days before, was tak-en to New Orleans for treatment. His wife,son and daughters and his son-in-law, Dr.

0eo. K. Pratt, of New Orleans, accompaniedhim. Many earnest prayers are offered npfor his recovery.

The supervising Architect of the treaturyS'i•ited to Mr. Robertson, who called upon himin reference to the matter last Wednesday,that the construction of the public building at

- Opelousas would begin early in the spring;that ketches of the building were going on,and th at they were only waiting for the sur-vey of the site when the working drawings

S:would be made.

The weather which wUs sitmewhat ttsettleilast week cause oni me delay in furlo worlwhich had advanced all along so nicely sinethe first of the year; but the planters of thistirring comnionity are fully abreast with thtimes. Wide-awakle, they know how to"' iakhay while the sun shines," c)nsequelnt l hiarpushed forward plowing, clearing of Iandiditching, &c., to an advanced degree. Aihnosall have planted corn or are planting

Lautis have been plt il the best of order flplanting cotton when the proper season atlives for loinrg s,. Many have broke and rebrokel their ieldi tweo and three times, so lhathe culiatf ion will be lighter and the worlmore easily done.

The public r'ds a rei and have been bett ethus fatr this tear than usual, owing no doubto the exceedingly lint weather we have beetblessed with. Cattle, horsesand hogs aippeato be in excellent order.

It has been so warm that very little Ineahas or touhi be saved. Sonic of the best antmost careful farmers have had many pound:of pork to spoil on their hands during the patfew months. Our home butchery supplies n:with fine beef, while tMr. Slocum, the chauaiion hog grower of Crocodile bayou, furnishesthe people thr and near with choice pork ant(lard. I do not know what to say in regard tothe fruit prospect yet; the late frosts mnashave cut the peach crop down very much.

Some of our neighbors will visit New Orleantthis week, but moat people are too busy iotahaven't thie time to tarry from home long.

City Item.Regarding the lttery question in this state

the Chicago Tribune.' special says :The Methodists have denounced it ill their

conferences and rhe Presbyterians in theircewspaper, The Rev. Sam Jones came hereto preach against it, iiand the Farmer's Alli-anoe refused to support any paper that advertised its drawing. But by far the most per-nistent and effe:rive opplorittn comes fromthe agents and emissarirs of the rival Havana'and Mexican institutions.

"Aye, there's the rub!' Ab,.ithitng theLouisiana Lottery Company would not abol-ish lotteries; and in exchatnge for a well-con-ducted institution that brings large revenuesinto the State, we should be given a numberof shady or unknown schemes that would actas a constant drain upon the general wealth.It will be wise to look upon both the materialand moralspects of this question in theirtrue light.
