The Hor AT THE LuNAT1o AsY1uM-A
contemporary speaks as follows Of this
interesting affair:
Thursday night the first Of the hons
for the season, yearly inaugurated by
DR.. J. T. Eusor, Superintendent of the
State Lunatic Asylum. was given. The
inclemency OF the weather kept away
many invited guests, yet there were
enough present to make an agreeable
| party. The enjoyment OF the occasion
was uninterrupted. The music was fur
nished by the institution. Seventy.fiye
OF the patients we're. present. and entered
into the festivities with much zest; not
word or action by them Was out of place,
and the accuracy OF their movements, in
going through the various figures Of the
dance, surprised all. Many OF them
waitzed we'll, and they all appeared to
view the OCCASION with great relief and
satisfaction. The promptness and deli
cacy which characterized their selection
OF partners. and the politeness of them
toward each other, as we'll as toward
those with whom they came in contact,
might he envied by circles claiming more
reason, and was an endorsement of the
patient care and hard toll of the officers
in charge at the asylum, under cyery
difficulty, for the benefit of their suffer-
ing fellow.beings. The dancing was
kept up to reasonable hour, the guests
joining freely in the same, contributing
much toward breaking the monotony Of
the lives Of the patients. Other similar
occasions are to follow at convenient and
stated times, when cards OF invitation
which the experience OF past seasons has
suggested to be for the best-will be.
issued. Those people who may receive
them should not fail to add their pre-.
sehce. for the good of The patients and
the ploasure Of themselves.
The Louisiana troubles have had the.
most deplorable effect on business. Pri-
vate advioes from New Orleans are to the
effect that the contest has brought every
department of business and industry to-,
q staud still. A deep gloom pervades tho
entire city. The movements OF oommo-
dities, Usually 80 active at this season OF
the year. have been practically suspend
ed. Planters and farmers are afraid to:
ship their cotton and other products to
thnt city, and shipments to other cities
fare suspended. The ordess for goods.
which formerly went to New Orleans are
sent to rival cities. The prospect for
tho remainder of this winter. therefore,
is anything but cheerful one, and the
end is not yet.
