The Rsnche y in Baton Rouge, is an institution.
Itisa peculiar institution, also. There is no in
stitution like it in the State It is unapproaehable in
its organization unprecedented Ia its rules Of gov
Y ernment; unparalleled for the excellence and guam
tty of the good things of life that enjoyed there
in, and unequaled in the amount Of influence it can
bring TO bear upon the " assembled wisdom OF tue
commonwealth, when it puts forth its best llcks
Il The Rancho only holds is sessions while the
Legislature is in session. When the Legislature con
8venes the Rancho I" convenes. When the Legis-
lature adjourns the 9 Rancho " adjourns. The
Rancho is only on hand when the, Legislature is
on hand This deprives the good people of the State
Of the services Of the Rancho fully ten months in
each year which is an evil profoundly to be regret
ted Latterly our Legislatures have been almost bar
rem of good results, and fruitful mostly of bad. Not
so with the Ranche.' 1t is always prolific of the
tt-bits of existence. 1t continually overaows with
the creature comforts of life. Throughout its halls
and corridors in its chambers and Closets in its yards
and alleys, creeasse Of all that is appetizing and
desirable is constantly coursng. There is ebb in
the tide which flows through the " Rancho no
counter currents no opposing pillows no head
winds to distract the waters of hospitality OF inter-
fere in any manner whatever with the pen;alitv which
regns supreme in the bosoms of the regular residents
or their temporary guests.

that statement we fell into slight error we are anx

Rancho was willing enough to adjourn, but having
