More improvements on the jackson Road.
Colonel McCOmb, the energetic and un-
firing President of the New Orleans, Jack
son and Great Northern and Mississippi
Central railways, is adding ono improve
ment after another so rapidly to this line,
as soon to place it ahead of all competition
in the country. We have no sooner noted
one marked improvement than our atten-
ton is called to another and more important
change.
Arrangements have been made to place
Pullman's palace cars on this route. These
cars are made after the most elegant and
modern design, expressly for this line, and
one or more of them will be attached to the
train leaving this city at $50 P. M. Pas
sengers for the North, in addition to max
ing from nine to twenty five hours quicker
time than by any other route, will find
these the most magnificent cars on this CON

While intently engaged in making up the
REPUBLICAN for Sunday, last night, dele
CATION of one entered our Office from the
Grand Festival for the Mission schools at
Odd Fellows Hall, bringing with him the
Compliments of the ladies of Bouquet
table," and pitcher of something that has
undoubtedly been invented since the gods
treated each other with ambrOsial dew and
nectar, for the immortals were jolly and
liberal set, and would never place before
their guests a second class article. We
derive, therefore, that champagne punch is
the invention of later and more favored
age, but one that serves well for the ladies
of the festival. for they excel the goddesses
and fairies of mythology as much as their
magnificent beverage now before US sur
passed the choicest tipples of the first class
saloons which had Bacchus himself for a
vintner. We would say, success to the
festival, but that being assured, we say
many thanks to the kind ladies who remem-
bered us in one of our hours of need.

NEW ORLEANS, SUNDAY APRII Is lg7l
FeIe Champetre at CarroIllOn Gardens. [

Fete Champetre az CarrOIltOn Gardens.
We are satisfied that all who remember
the agreeable festivals given by the ladies
at Carrollton Gardens during former years
will be gratified to learn that the ladies of
Calvary Church, assisted by their gentlemen
friends, many of whom participated in the
preparation Of former ones, will open a
similar fete, commencing Tuesday, April 25,
at P. N.
Judging from the names connected with
this, we are justified in predicting that in
all, both substantial and lighter comforts,
something may be expected in no way IN
ferior to former entertainments of like char
acter. We understand that superior music
will be provided, and, while nothing will be
permitted in the way OF amusements cal
culated to offend the sensibilities of the
most rigid churchman, every effort will be
made to furnish enjoyment to all classes
who may participate in this effort to COM
bine pleasure with the aid of good cause
Calvary is~one of the few free churches
in our city depending entirely upon the vol
untary contributions of its friends for its
support, and now needs money to aid in
providing for extra calls upon its resources
and to pay off debt which has long i'm
peded its progress. We trust that everybody
will go to this fete, and gladden. the hearts
of those fair ladies, and all true friends of
the church, with such benefit as may re-
lieve the church from every dollar of debt.
We are informed by a member of the ad-
vertising committee that full notices will ap-
pear, of what may be expected in a few
days.
Tickets will be for sale at all the principal
music and book stores.

aged thirty-four Years, who was the builder Of

aged twenty. and native of New Zealand,

fill the important position which Its name ln-
dcates. The City Of Ragusa is the smallest
sea-going ship in existence, being of only one
and a half tons burden, Though with
carrying capacity of two tons,} and
is seven feet shorter on keel, and OF three tons
less tonnage, than the famous American
miniature ship, the Red, White and Blue.
She carries cargo of bricks as ballast, and
has on board besides one hundred gallons OF
water ano provisions to last the crew (the
dog included) for three months. In the lore

A Model Legislator.

A correspondent, "M., F." in long commu-
nication to the Chesterfield Democrat,
charges R. James Donaldson with being the
instigator, il not the actual perpetrator, OF
all the so-called Ku-Klux outrages in the
county, including the murder OF Melton.
He sets forth the reasons for his belief at
length. Donaldson, it will be recollected, is
one of the very worst OF the carpet-baggers
that we're stranded on this shore by the re-
ceding tide OF war, and has been thorn in
the flesh to the people Of the Peedee country
from '65 to this day. Like Whittemore, Don
aldson is a Northern Methodist preacher. he
has been engaged in politics, gold mines,
the land commission, and general merchan-
disc He is now, or lately has been, inter-
nal revenue collector, and in all these sew
eral widely varied employmsnts has some
how managed to get the ill-will OF all honest
men with whom he came in contact. One
