THE MASS MEETING.

We hope to see large and enthu-
siastic meeting of all Conservative
citizens of the Parish present at the
Mass meeting on the first Saturday
in September next. We know that
the meeting has been called at a
time when our planters are busy
with their crops, but they can surely
spare one day from their business to
devote to the service of their country.
If the present Radical government
continues, all their labors will go for
nothing. All their hard earnings
will be consumed by the enormous
taxes laid by party which desires to
see full Treasury, from which. all
their greedy ofice-seekers can be fed
until they are satisfied. Let every
Conservative leave his plough in the
field and add his voice to the voice
of condemnation of radical corruption
which shall go up from the outraged
/ Democracy of Rapides on the thire
of September next. The meeting Ii
not called by any clique or set of i'm
practicables +; it is intended to be al
uprising of all those who are wear.
Of Radical supremacy and Radica
Scoundrelism. It's deliberations cal
but end in good to all. Let all tn
people be present.

THE BALLOT FOR THE ELECTION OF
ENGLISH SCHOOL BOARDs.-At length,
says the London correspondent of the
N. Y. Herald, daylight appeared, and
an honorable member moved that the
gas be turned out. This was done
amid burst of cheering and laughter,
and the fight went on in broad day
light. Government declared they
would sit for week rather than that
the bill should not pass, and the tories
threatened to obstruct the measure till
the day of Judgment if the ballot were
OF withdrawn. Members became
quite jaded and fatigued over such hot
work, and had to have frequent re-
course to the refreshment rooms. Some
got drunk over their rotations and
made tools of themselves. One caused
the House to dissolve in laughter by
advising Mr.. Gladstone to go home tt
his wife. Then two sparrows flew IL
arthe open easement, and the Hous.
for time forgot the Education bill
and roared and laughed as the bird
twittered overhead. Ono by one tn
Conservatives went home, weary of TIN
struggle, and at five o'clock in tn,
morning there were only nineteel
present. = a
Finding themselves thus reduced AM
opposed by one hundred and fifty lib
erals, the nineteen left the House, til
government gained the ballot clause
and the bill passed through the com
mittee amid the widest and loudes
cheers have ever heard. But whe
| ~
report the bill too. Worn out wit
long vigils he had gone to his bed, an
was peacefully snoring when he wa
asked for. The bill had consequent
to be reported without him.
The Lords will certainly throw CT
the section relating to the ballot, an
: this may cause the bill to be lost afte
all the fighting. Should this prove I
I be the case a much more liberal bi
will have to be passed next year.

General Mcmahon.


One report states that Gen. Nc
Mahon, the commander Of the right
wing of the French army is wound
ed. Some of our readers may be in
terested in brief sketch OF the man.
He is the officer most conspicuous in
the French army for military ability.
This eminent soldier whose name
proclaims his descent from a warlike
race, is in the sixty-third year OF his
ace. He received his military educa-
ton at st. Cyr, from whence he pass
ed to the staff corps. He took part
in the expedition to Algiers, and was
subsequently aid-de-camp OF Gene
raj Achard at the siege of Antwerp:
In 1888 he returned to Africa, and
rose rapidly in his profession. until
in 1852 he became general OF divis-
ion. In 1856 he commanded an in
! fantry division in Marshal Bosquets
corps in the Crimea. In this capac-
ity he took personal part in the ia
nous and successful assault of the
Malakoff, establishing himself in thai
work and holding it, notwithstand
the repeated and prolonged efforts O
the Russians to dislodge him. Fol
} this service he was decorated will
the grand cross of the legion of hon
or, and on the return of peace wa
made a Senator. In 1857 he wa.
again in Africa, commanding an ex
