In the twinkling of an eye he got up
on his back, waved his hand to the
company, who We're surveying him
through the windew, and, clapping
spurs to his charger, galloped off flu
riously, with hideous and unnatu-
raj laugh, through the midst of the

with his presence the landlord found
that his internal majesty had helped

What was Said.

Before coming to Shreveport, we
made many inquiries respecting our
prospects, looks Of the town, the affa-
bleness of the people. etc, all, we are
sorry to say, were discouraging We
we've advised not to come here under
any circunst ances determined to
satisfy ourselves, we visited Shreve-
port, and before landing at the wharf.
Were perfectly satisfied with the APP
pearance Of the place. We find in
Shreveport an energetic class OF men
persons ready and willing to assist
or embark into any enterprise that
they deem advisable for the enhance
rnent Of the place, in commercial
point OF view. The first impression
cast upon our minds when walking
about the town, with an idea to see
ing things generally, was, here is en-
terprise. we then decided to cast our
lot among the people by whom we are
now surrounded, and we now call this
our home; being bent on but one OBJ
ject, lie. earning, by industry and
perseverance, anhonest living.

very poor; they look upon our under

And sits in n cushioned pew;
Ard her beautiful! eyes grow sleepy,
As the eyes of deacons do.

Reading the holy word:

To see that she shan't be stirred.

Through the glasses on her nose.
And she smiles to think what q lesson
She will get at the sermons close.

The COUNSELOR (NEws.) Under
this title, Mr. JOHN DICKINSON, now
principal manager in the office OF the
Natchitoches Chronicle, proposes to
publish a Daily and Weekly News
paper in the city Of Shreveport. The
field selected for this new enterprise,
is a good one. Shreveport has be-
come the most thriving business city
in North Louisiana. Admirably stu
ated for trade, commanding, as it does
some of the most fourishing agricul-
tural regions of Texas, connected with
New Orleans by the Red River, and
about to be connected with the Mis-
sissippi by the Vicksburs and Texas
Railroad, which already extends from
Shreveport some distance into Texas,
it must soon become the most impor-
tant city Of Louisiana out of New
Orleans. To all its natural advanta-
ges for trade, it possesses within itself
what always gives character and
growth to any community enter
prising race of citizens. The profess
sions are there filed with men of high
attainmen.s-her merchants and bus
mess men of every walk in life, are
distinguished for their hberality as
well as enterprise.
In such community, Il well con-
Quoted paper cannot fail to meet with
success. and Mr.. Dickinson has all
the qualities to secure such success
