TnE GARRISON GRouEDs.-Thc
last Advocate has an interesting arti-
Gle on this subject. 1t suggests that
as the grounds are comparatively ur-
tenanted, that the State, or the town
ought to purchase them, and put the
beautiful site to some partical use. 1t
says they would make good site for
q University, or they would do well
for public promenade. 1t is said
looking way down into the shadowy
prospective Of the time to come, "that
the town may in time become an orer-
groacn city absorbing eventually
the Garrison grounds and lecping
across the Bayou Grassie and squat
ting down on the hills beyond"
We favor the Advocates suggest
ions, in reference to the Garrison
grounds, but think that they should
belong to Louisiana If they did, the
munifcent sugar bowl State could
put them to very useful purpose.
The town often feels cramped and
cannot find room to manifest its hos
pitality on extraordinary occasions.
For instance high state functionary
occasionally comes to town and the
Garrison is the only place where room
can be found for him to breath in.
Every body knows; where the con-
centrated wisdom in general assem-
bly, convenes," that murmers are
sometimes neard-like the "grumb-
hngs Of distant thunder about etboW,
and airing room. What splendid
place the Garrison grounds would be
for this purpose! There The grounds
might be laid of into gravel walks
and she'll roads, and proper arrange
ments made for the manly amusement
Of -lcap-frog" and other gymnas'ic
exercises-there the Hon. member
might throw off his coat, and the care
of State affairs, and in the umbra-
geous if not ambrosial recesses Of that
lovely nick Of the wooas-fanned BY
the gentle Zephyrs that float over the
mighty M;ssiss;pri-take a snooee
whilst some other Hon. member, ex-
pands his chest by making a b~pscaM6
speech in the Halls of the insane asy-
lum-that is to be. Think Of these
benefits, and weep to think they are
not all our own but a small fragment
of the uneccupicd domain of Uncle
Sam. What deiighyuif place that
might be made for patriotic politicians
of both parties to meet and play 'Kino
and high.die. for Office. And then
think of Menagcrie in the center Of
the qudrangular buildings. Not a
-four BIT" show, but a regular ring
streeked and striped-complete in all
its details; why it would be tho very
thing, and we really hope that 'he

lie is daily turning out from his

which northern and western work does
not, when intended for this market.
When the frightful epidemic made
lis first appearance amongst us, Capt.
Tunnard was the first to lay down his
own business affairs, and take the van
lead in measures to stay its progress,
and truly is he entitled to be noted as
the Chief Samaiiten" in marshalling
all the available forces TO relieve the
sick and distressed and take care of
the bodies of stranger victimr to the

With FIVE Of the band Of seven
staunch, bold and fearless hearts, that
kind of service TO mortality has been
performed under the direction of Capt.
Tunnard, which brands the military
hero locked up in Steel" with cow

In sacrificing his own time and iur-
ming the imment dangos Of his life.
Capt. Tunnard has displayed that sind
of courage united with philanthropy
which is not often met with.
If Tunnard should not be able t.
comply with his engagements 70 the

GAvAzzI RtoTs.-The excitement in
Montreal about father Gavazzi, doe
not seem to have abated. Since NJ
WILSON, the Mayor was arrested, Mn
other persons have been taken ia Gus
tody, for wilful murder, in firing Fl ON
the church, and causing the death OF
one Welch and Donally. Several in
huential and respected citizens have
been held to bail in the sum Of e.
900 each, to answer the charge.
So far, we have said nothing in re-
ference 10 father Gavazzi and "hi&
MISSION" as it is termed. We hate
/
apostates, and place no credit in their
statements,
Profound indeed is the ignorance
that cannot see, that apostaey and the
slanGerous abuse to which the rcnag-
AIDES tongue becomes welded pro-
ceeds from a mercinary self interest
and desire for the peooniary benefit
that is to follow the publication Of a
book" to catch the hall pennies Of the
gaping multitude.
We have reformed gamblers"-"re-
formed drunkards." Vile calunnia-
tors OF Masonry and Odd Fellowship,
with occasionally a 'Rigdon" from the
Host OF the Latter day Sdints, to ex-
pose the mystic crimes Of Mormonism.
And Why. Because some unworthy
Disciple has not been able to approach
as near the imperial purple" as his
ambition would lead him. In this
category do we place father Gavazzi.
There is no Objection to a mans
