THE CuLMINATIoN SHow.-The Lewis Brothers
Charles, Andrew, Arthur A. and Albert n.y.
company gave performances here on Wednesday
and Thursday evenings last. We attended on
Wednesday evening. and must say it was good,
and exceedingly funny. The largest and best
pleased audience greeted the performances that
we ever seen on an occasion of the kind since the
building of the hall The performances were
too many and varied for us to attempt to de-
scribe. The illusions were up to the standard
of the best performers, and in some particulars
exceeded our most sanguine expectations. The
balancing and aerial feats of balls, plates, etc.,
were extremely good and deeply interesting. The
orchestral selections were rendered in mastery
style. The tableaux were brilliant, enchanting and
of the purest moral design. But the sde-splitting
fun came in when the East India magnetism and
Egyptian mesmersm performances commenced
Those who witnessed these scenes will not ask
us to explain them, and those who have not had
better keep track of this show until they can.
The company, we believe, will perform in most
of the towns of our county, and the best thing
we can now do, both for the company and our
readers, is to say, go and see the Cmmnaton
show. These gentlemen now have homes and
landed property in Solano county, and intend to
reside permanently in California They are
pleased With Auburn and our people, and author
ize US to say that at any time the Band and Hall
Association and any other charitable object re-
quire their services they will come here and per-
form, donating two-thirds of the net receipts to
the Band and charitable object named. We think
we may safely say we accept this offer in the
name Of the people of this community.
THE picnic Of Auburn Public School last Tues
day fell on an unpleasant day. The attendance
was not 80 large by one-hdf as it would have
been had the day been pleasant one, and, to
make the matter worse, about half-past one
o'clock rain set in end drove the picnickers
from the grove with damaged plumage and in
jured feelings at the clerk Of the weather Not
to be beaten in this way they adjourned to Music
Hall and concluded the days fun by feasting
frolicking, music. dancing. etc. In the end it
was nip and tuck whether the weather or pic
nickers had the best Of it.

Convincing Evidence.

The pap organ would have the people be-
lieve that its master I'll. C. Warmoth had little
or nothing to do with the late Liberal Con
vention, and exults in the fact that he has
not been selected as the candidate for Gov.
ernor. This apparent rejoicing does not pro
ceed from any objection that it has to War
moth, but simply because it had been said that
he would he the choice of the convention We
invite the attention of our readers to the fol-
lowing resolution passed unanimously at the
Liberal State Convention.
Resolved, That approaching the oood filth
and se!Edbnegation which has characterized
the conduct of his Excelleney, III. C. War
moth, i'll his intercourse with the Liberal
party, and as aii evidence of omr good will nee
recommend him for the support OF the mem
bers Of the Liberal party, who shall compose
the next Legislature, for the position of &. s.
Senator = =
The above is sufficient to convince anv un-
prejudiced mind that the Liberal party was
gotten up to bolster Warmoth, and for no
other purpose. Ii anything more is needed to
make conviction doubly strong, behold the
choice of that Convention for the following

= The CRoPs.-The hot and dry weather we
s-have experienced for the last three or four
weeks has accelerated the opening of cotton
IN nearly every portion of onr Parish, and to-
day scarcely planter can be seen who is not
busily engaged in gathering the staple In
d fact, some of our planters viii be unable to
pick their cotton as fast as it opens. The crop
will no doubt be abundant; aud we have
heard the opinion expressed that the fall
weather will set in before the entire cotton
crop will be gathered, and that much of this
valuable staple will be lost in consequence.
Here is an excellent opportunity for those
seeking for work. The corn is safe, and an
ABUNDANT crop it is: the fodder has been
gathered iu isllnost'every locality, and to-day
the planter is smiling and happy, with only an
occasional dread of catterpillars; however, we
should note that thus far they have done very
little damage, none to speak Of in fact, as the
loss Will not amount to one bale in fifty, in the
Parish. .sses

I. THE Liberal REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATE FOR
CONGRESS. - The announcement of Ebert
Gantts candidacy for Congress provoked in
st. Landry one of those old fashioned horse
laughs which, it was feared at one time, the
incubi of war and taxation had extinguished
forever The colored people make themselves
ndecently merry about it. His social and
political fraterlization with them for the past
iour years has, no doubt, given them an op-
portnnity of taking his csalibre fully equal to
any afforded the whites who had tabooed him
socially and politically long before the war.
The chances of the Liberal candidate cannot
DO better indicated than by quoting the words
OF popular freednan Of this parish ON hear
ins Of the nomination: sWev he said ssonly
vote, to a man, against such stock the white
people tar aud feather them.p
