porters of the Kellogg Antoine ticket
at Linwood plantation, Thursday af-
ternoon, at which several patriotic
aspirants for Office made speeches de-
claring their undying devotion to the
principles which pleased the particu-
lar crowd gathered around them, and
Il willingness to serve the people
for no other compensation than the
approval of the masses-excepting
only the salaries and perquisites of
the offices towards which they are
casting covetous eyes. The ineyita-
BILE ".set of resolutions was offered,
evidently by the grammarian of the
Leader. and unanimously adopted
One of these resolutions declared the
lack of confidence of these office
seekers in H. G.. Warmoth, and repu-
dated that unfortunate individual
completely. This is not surprising,
for Governor Warmoth has repudiated
these men and shown his lack of con-
fdence in them long since.
INTERESTING CEREMONY AT THE
CATHOLIC CHURcH.-The ceremony
of blessing the instruments just re-
ceiyed by the new church band, or ST.
Cecile Philharmonic Society, which
was performed at the Catholic church
in this town last Sunday evening, was
interesting and beautiful, as the large
concourse of people who witnessed it
will attest. An admission fee of 25
cents was charged, but in spite of this
the large church was filed with spec
tators. The exercises consisted of a
short address in French from one of
the attendant priests of the church !;
music by the st. Mary Jefferson Col
lege band, which had been invited
expressly for the occasion; singing
by fhe choir; blessing of the instlu-
ments by father Copper and present
ing them then to the members of the
Philharmonic Society. We can not
close our notice of this ceremony with
out referring briefly to the st. Mary
Jefferson College band, whose excel
lent music contributed so much to the
interest of the OCCASION The playing
of this band, which numbers some
twenty members-all students of the
College from whence the organization
derives its name-is really fine, and
denotes careful and systematic train
ing under an accomplished musician.
We opine the members of the band
will not soon forget their visit to
Donaldsonville, for they were most
cordially received and royalty feted
during their stay of nine hours, they
having arrived here on the cars Sun
day noon and departed aboard the
steamboat w. S. Pike about 8 o'clock
in the evening. They were enter
tanned at the residence of the priests
of the Ascension Church during the
afternoon. When the ceremony which
they had come to attend was conclu-
Ged and an excellent supper had been
served them, the band proceeded to
the residence of Mr.. Chas. L. Smith,
whom they serenaded, and We're inyi-
ted in to discuss few bottles of
sparkling champagne. From thence
they went to the wharf to await the
arrival of the Pike, but received and
accepted an invitation from Mr.. Marx
Israel to spend the intervening time
at his house, whence they repaired
and whiled away a pleasant hour, dis
,eoursing fine music and receiving the
generous hospitality of the host in the

Last Sunday afternoon quarrel
arose ut the Railroad Exchange coffee
house between Franco Martinez, lad
of about seventeen years of age, and
a man named Jean Curse, during
which the latter was stabbed in the
left side just below the heart. The
wound was at first thought to be fatal,
and Curse expressed an opinion that
he wouldn't get overit, but his expecta-
tion appears destined to be agreeably
disappointed, for he is gradually re-
covering Young Franco left town
Immediately after the disturbance,
but since returned-whether of his
own free will or at the solicitation of
a constable we know not-and stood
examination before Justice of the
Peace. He was discharged, as we are
informed, the evidence elected show
ing that he stabbed Curse purely in
self-(lefence.

We had the pleasure of attending
pleasant little party given at the house
of Mr.. Woods, in the parish of St.
James, right bank of the river, on the
evening of the fourth. The genial
host and his estimable lady did all in
their power to render the occasion an
agreeable one to their guests, and it is
due to them to say that they succeeded
most admirably. Though the weather
was unplppitious, a goodly number of
persons, old and young, were present,
and amused themselves with sing
ing and dancing until about half past
two o'clock Friday morning. Ice
creanLand cake abounded in profusion,
and a. beautiful display of fireworks
contributed to the general enjoyment.
The little Fourth of July party will
be remembered with pleasure for
long time by all who were present.
