He: fOr the Gulf shore.

The many ean't-g t-get-far-aways will be
pleased to learn that that capital host,
Ben Margot, of Grand Isle, has concluded
a treaty with that famous mariner, Cap tain
Gus Richards, who has so long and so often
proved himself capable of either keeping
hotel or running steamboat successfully;
and the said Richards will, from the mou th
of Harvey's canal, run a first class boat on
days and at hours hereafter to be designated,
to Grand Isle, that Cape May, Long Branch,
iRockaway and Newport, all rolled together
en- one-a sublimation of summer laziness
and genuine rest, that atmosphere that bears
upon the bosom Of the great gulf the spring
breezes of the fruit laden tropics; where
the surf bathing is unsurpassed by even the
most fashionable resorts on the entire At
lantic coast. We mean Grand Isle, which
fr9nts the surging gulf on one side and the
historic Bay of Camandira on the other.
Zen Margot knows how to keep hotel
himself, but anticipating a rush this sum
mer, ne has secured the services of Gus
Heron, who will have entire charge of the
cuisine and its requirements. With such a
team at Grand Isle, who wants to 20 to
Long Branch or Saratoga!

The Ladies' Benevolent Association of
Louisiana, organized fer the building of a

has obtained the Varieties Theatre in
which to give an entertainment on the eve
ming of the fourteenth instant, to raise
funds to complete the same. The object is
a pralseworthy one, and few of our citizens
will fail to render fitting tribute 20 pur-
pose so lauaable. No more heroic sold lers
ever lived than those who fought in the
armies of the eonfederacy. Many tho ught
their course misguided, but none ever
thought Of reproach to their virtue and
heroism. A grand mausoleum should en-
shrine their dust, and perpetuate in the
memory of their kindred their gala ntry
and devotion to the land beneath who's soil
their ashes repOse.
The entertainment will consist of a va
rietY of theatrical performances, in which
Miss Charlotte Thompson and the members
of the Varieties troupe will participate.
