WILLI VMS Plaquemine, Louisiana, is situated in Iberville parish, at the point wh re the great government lock; connect, the bayou that bears the name of i * city with the mighty Mississippi riv e This fact gives Plaquemine an advan tage from the standpoint of watei - way transportation, because Plat in - mine bayou connects with Grand lake. La Feuche bayou, Byrick bay, througl Maimillion and Vermillion rivers th great Tish bayou, connecting up ai of the rich plantations both sugar and rice, as well as cotton, and the rich wooded section producing s ort teal, and box. pine, spruce gum, p st oak i live oak and the beautiful droopirg cypress. From the limbs of these v.t rious trees dangle long streamers of gray moss, which in the moonlight, . viewed from the deck of thp small bayou steamers, os seen in the batons skillfully sculled by a native, gave the writer an impression of fairy land, decked in its streamers of spangled | I silver, Such is the country of the cen 1 tral figure of this story whom it i i difficult to describe as the good point of Joseph Israel of Plaquemine, Loui.— ; iana, are many and perhaps sonu i might thing elusive. He is hotel owner, saloon keeper, I politician, laborer, agent and philan thropist. He is a small man in | stature, standing five and one half i inches in height and weighing about one hundred and five pounds. Ho hu.~ a soft, yet penetrating voice, sharp nose, thin lips, rounded chin, small forehead, small piercing black eye.-, which have the peculiar habit of nor ' rowing to slits when Jack is studying ! a new advantage and twinkling bright | ly when anything amusing is said And as to his complexion, anyom I who has seen him would say he is I white, but if you ask Jack as t* j what he is racially, he will alway answer “black,” meaning that he an American Negro, and he empha ; sizes the black, hence the name Mia i Jack, which he accepts readily a* d • without comment. Every plantation owner, every log ger, every swamper, every fishing boat owner, every oyster dredger, * . ery steamboat man, in search of laboi always applies to “Black Jack.” Ev ery man seeking help, sympathy charity or a job applies to "Black Jack.” He supplies the employe! and makes nothing but verbal con tracts, the main specification being fair treatment and fair pay to th* men. He is often called up* n to s* - tie disagreements and grievan cs, * . or imaginary, between both employe! and employee. In the little town where he re idis and at the saloon which he operates, during the course of a day, week, month or year, he is visited 'oy rner from every walk of life, and Solom t like he gives out his decisions in ; fair justice-loving manner. He distributes his charity in :i unostentatious way and claims nr credit for doing so; and when called a good man by some aged man oi woman, whom he has helped or from some appreciative man, who througl Jack’s political “pull” is freed from the courts, he will answer in that inimitable way peculiar to himself: “That’s nothing; anybody can do that who has a mind to do so.” Turning to me after pushing a : u from the door who had ordered third drink in less than fifteen min utes, which is one of Jack’- most stringent rules, as he never allows a man to drink enough to get drunk in his place, he said in his quaint and yet most earnest manner: "If tha* fellow had been a water-man 1 would ; have allowed him three drinks, a- it J would take that much to get the damp out of him, but as he is only a day laborer, two was enough,” and the men go away cursing him on!* to come back the next day to thank h:m. He sits quietly back and scan hi paper, and now ami then cast ; : quick glance to the bar, that eon* n.ay violate his rules, while awaiting the no::t visitor, wvich is never 1 ng, for “B.a.-k Jack” directs the destiny of many men and women in the com munities along ihis great island wa ter way, and s ome da) v. hen he s missed from his usual seat in his cor ner, by the old style desk, and the word is whispered that Black Jack is no more, all Plaijuemine will mourn PREJUDICE “Any prejudice whatever will be in surmountable if those who do no', share in it themselves tiuekle to it and flatter it and accept it a: a law of nature."—John Stuar, Mill.
