NIGHr.-Though this notice will meet few eyes in
tune to enable the readers TO take the eariy train
| on the 0pelousas Road for the Union barbecue at
Brashear City, We hope to hear of many going
The barbecue will occupy the middle part OF the
day, and those who 60 this morning will be back
this evening in time to attend the Bell and Ever
EFT mass meeting at Algiers, Or the meeting Of the
Bunker Hill Rangers in this city. The Bunker
Killers intend turning out, and will probably be
joined by the Constitution and other clubs. As the
election approaches the contest wakes hotter, and
the Bell and Everett enthusiasm higher and higher
The people at Brashier and those who go will
hear good speaking, we are sure. Among the
orators will be DR.. r. FL. Read and Charles D.
Dtenx Esq, Of this gentlemen too well
known to render it necessary for us to predict the
treat which their speaking viii afford to all who
hear them.
The FossrLs.-The Fossil Association had a fine
and largely attended meeting at Odd Fellows, Hall
last night. The Hon. George S. Lacey addressed
the Fossils and their assembled friends with great
force and eloquenee.
The Young Bell Champions, in uniform and with
torches, went there and serenaded the old gentle
men, and afterWard marched aronnd, not forget
ting the Crescent. They made fine show. The
members of other clubs were around in strong
force.
THE CRUISE OF THE CONSTITUTION CLUB.-Yes-

gallant club the night before. We now give some
account Of the doings Of the club.
Meeting at their new headquarters, corner of
St. Louis street and Exchange Alley, the club lis
tened to warm and patriotic address from Mr.

speech was of the right kind and was heartily
cheered. After this, the club turned out in pro-
cesson, with their banners and transparencies and
fine band of music. They marched to the resi-
dence of Miss h. t. on Cont street, where
that young lady presented beautiful wreath and
was handsomely serenaded
The club then started up town, serenading the
Bee Office on the way, and passing the Clay statue
with hats off-a handsome ceremony, inaugurated
and practised only by this club. They next
stopped at certain residence, and serenaded the
young lady whose dedicatory poem to the club was
recently published in the Crescent. The march
was then continued away up to residence in the
heart of the Fourth District, where young lady,
an amateur artist of great merit, presented to the
club, in the most charming manner, beautiful
banner of her own painting. The front of the
sail, with fancfal surrounding of sugar-cane,
cotton-plants, insignia of commerce, agriculture

and reception of the banner was handsome on
both sides, and aroused much enthusiasm. At this
place there was a most appetzing spread of re-

this OCCASION not only in their gallant respons es
to the fair maiden who presented the banner, and

made and happily responded to on all sides.
After serenadng the ladies at this place, the club
again formed in procession and returned down
town. The Crescent office was passed and heartily
cheered and serenaded. The next place visited
was the residence of Mr.. N. E. Bailey. who was
properly serenaded. This gentleman responded
by inviting the whole crowd inside, where they
found not merely collation., but regular feast
spread out for them, with no end of liquid accom-
paniments. Two long tables were covered with
something of everything that soothes the stomach.
The club again ordered to fall to and do their
duty; and they did it handsomely. Here also
there were speeches, toasts, and general whirl-

After serenading and leaving Mr.. Bailey, the
club marched to the residence of Mrs. NJ, H.

one of their most beautiful banners-and serenaded
her in the handsomest style. Here too the doors
were thrown open, and the club called in to drink
