Louisiana Steam Fire Engine Company.
Blue shirts and black pants are the uniform of
this company. All are tastefully uniformed. The
engine is Furnished to painful brilliancy; and
that beauty OF mechanism is decorated with an art
that surpasses art.

yesterday in witnessing the turnout of this COM

who we can most emphatically designate as the
