Fruit Growers Association OF the Gulf
States.

Fruit Growers Association of the Gulf
States.
The officers and board of directors met
last night at the Office of Mr.. Anthony Sam
bola, corner Customhouse street and Ex-
change alley.
Sixty persons were elected members of
the ASSOCIATION, including seven or eight la
dies, as honorary members. O.
The president reported that the Legisla-
ture had passed the act incorporating the
association, but that it was waiting the sig
nature of the Governor to be final. Where
upon Mr.. K. S. Venable, of Independence,
moved that a committee be appointed to
call on the Governor on the adjournment of
the meeting to urge him to approve the act.
The following gentlemen were appointed on
the committee: Il. s. Nenable, of Indepen
dence, Louisiana; N. D. Wetmore, of Pom
chatoula, louisiana E. X. Manard and A.
Samboia, of New Orleans; d. II. Wallace,
of Jackson, Mississippi, and j. w. Hillman,
of New Orleans.
On motion, the secretary was instructed
to print in book form 1000 copies of the con-
stitution and by laws of the association and
certificates Of membership.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resotped, That an ad interim committee
of five members be appointed, together
with the officers, to receive and classify all
fruits, plants, flowers etc, which may be
sent to the public exhibition, to take place
on the fifteenth Of July next at the Expo
sition Hall.
The following gentlemen were appointed
on said committee: DIR. r. Thompson, of
Terry, Mississippi; NJ. B. Hillyard, of Nc
Comb City, Mississippi; R. D. Manard, of
Independence, Louisiana; II. w. K. Lewis,
Of Osyka, Mississippi, and DR.. H. A. Swa-
sey, of Alabama.
Mr.. L. X. Manard was selected to deliver
an essay at the next general meeting, to be
held in July next, on the subject of the
past, present and future genealogical de-
velopment Of the Gulf States"
The president was Instructed to appoint
a number of ladies to take charge of the
siton.
The Rake was selected as the official Or
gan of the association.
After some talk on the prospect of fruits
this coming season, and the transaction of
some minor business, the board adjourned.
The committee then waited on Governor
Kellogg at his private residence, on Canal
street, and they were cordially received.
The Governor expressed his appreciation Of
the purposes of the association, and prom
ised to aid them. He said that he would
approve the act of incorporation as soon as
it was submitted to him.

The Rake.

The fourth mber Of this sparkling little
sheet has been received. Mr.. Manard
seems determined to achieve success in
his enterprise, and We hope and believe he
will do SO. There has been an unusual
amount of humbuggery and nonsense at
tending the introduction of the order of
Patrons of Husbandry in Louisiana, and it
seems to be the mission of this newspaper
to denOunce and eradicate the abuses and
place this-in other States-usetul organi-
zation upon proper and useful footing
The Rake has already been elected official
organ of the Changers at Independence,
and will soon, doubtless, be called upon to
speak by authority for the whole order.
A pleasing feature of the number before us
is the Inauguration of ladies' department,
wherein Mrs. E. Burke Collins wields a
graceful pen.

Mrs. Maggie Van COtt.

Female preachers are so rarely heard in
New Orleans that great curiosity has ex-
listed, and large numbers have hocked to the
Ames Methodist Episcopal Church when
ever the above named lady has been an
nounced to speak. She has been the sensa-
ton of the week, and is doing much toward
awakening better religious feeling in this
community, for those who at first went for
the novelty of hearing a woman speak, are
seriously pondering the good words she
utters. The fame of this evangelist
had preceded her, but no written
description can convey to the reader
the effect produced by her simple speeches.
She is woman fair to look upon, consider
ably stout, and fully forty. She dresses
neat and plainly, in black, without jewelry;
her hair, of light brown, is arranged with
three rolls or pufs on each side of her fore
head, and in the church, and when speak
ing, she wears bonnet There is nothing
OF the womans rights, or platform style of
oratory about her. In degree she is
dramatic, and gesticulates freely, but her
manner and looks harmonic with her
voice and speech. She makes no pretension
TO preaching, but announces herself
simple child of Christ, and her mission to
tell His story. and plead His cause. The
field for her is ample in this city, and al
ready the leaven she brings is doing it's work,
for laymen of all beliefs, persons of no
fixed belief, and clergymen of all Protest
ant denominations. assist, attend and join
with her, working in the cause looking to
the final redemption Of mankind through
common Saviour.
Mrs. Van Cott will hold meetings, until
further notice, every day at noon, and will
preach every evening at halfpast seven.
On Sunday afternoon, at five o'clock, she
will address the people of New Orleans.
"In behalf Of the young men Of our city"
This meeting will be held under the au-
spices of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, and for the better accommodation
of the public will be held at Exposition
Hall.

At Exposition Hall was given fancy

pleasant and agreeable to all present just
enough young ladies and gentlemen were
there to occupy the floor in a dance and
their ninble feet kept time to the music of
happy heart beats and Walsh's band. An
unusual number of dancers appeared fanci

good taste, and the effect was pleasing to
the eyes of beholders. The Silver

Anthony's New Chrome Little Boy Blue. -
The making of chromos has become to
the painter Of pictures what tho art of
printing has been for so many years to the
writer of books. As the printing press has
fairly thrust the people of the world for
ward in the possession of knowledge, SO
has the printing of chromos developed a
love of the beautiful in art. and has
placed in the reach of every poor
man the opportunity of possessing copies
OF the works Of tie greatest artists.
The poor man may as easily own
his Murillo as his ancestor owned his bible.
The great works of Church and Bierstadt
are no longer the exclusive property of pri-
vate galleries or Of favored cities. Pub
fishers have sprung up who furnish copies
which can hardly be distinguished from the
great originals, at prices so cheap that every
poor mans house may be frightened by
their presence on his walls. No firm has
done more to disseminate taste for art, or
furnished better material for that taste to
feed upon, than Messrs E. g. H. T. Anthony
& Co., Of No. 59l Broadway, New York.
We have received at the hands Of their agent,
Mr. T. d. Mccormack, a copy of their last
new work, which has drawn crowds of ad-
mirers to the windows of the picture stores
in this city-a picture representing the
Who has not slowed away in the inner re-
cesses of his youthful memories the verse
which tells how Little Boy Blue" went to
sleep under the haystack, and the COW
broke into the field of corn, and the sheep
into the meadow! And what child has not
sympathized with the poor little fellow, and
wondered what penalty his negligence
would bring upon his devoted headl
The artist, w. II. Beard, has made an
admirable portrayal of the incident. In
the foreground Little Boy Blue" lies on
the loose hay with his head resting against
the stack, his straw hat jammed over his
curly brown hair and hardly shading his
rosy cheeks. A little way off, at his left,
stands his lunch basket, full of untouched
goodies, while just slipping from the
relaxed fingers lies the horn. just
beyond him the bars are thrown
down and the sheep, sure enough, are
browsing in the rich meadow, while the
COW swings her tail with glee as she treads
through the ripening corn. A robin-red-
breast sits on the fence-rail, watching the
youthful dreamer, while the shades OF
nightfall seem creeping up from the field
beyond, mellowing the landscape and ton
ing down the scene.
This picture, about eighteen by twenty
four inches, is sold for ten dollars, while
Seebold will put it in a beautiful frame for
two dollars more. Where is there a father

ing their currency for real estate and
buildings. In the erection of the latter
there has been great activity, owners Of
paper money being far more anxious to
have property in buildings than to hold
any quantity of deprecisting currency.
The effort made to introduce foreign spe-
Gle as currency has not been very success
tul. So far the specie has only gone int0
ports and out again in foreign trade.
The discovery of all these facts, tho
Cuban letters state, has thrown the finan-

chaos, and destroyed the calculations Of all
foreign merchants trading with Havana.

To the President Of - School Board
DEAR SIR-YOu are respectfully informed
that, owing to the fact that the December
apportionment for 1873 was not made until
February, 1874, at which time all the funds
IN the State treasury to the credit of the
current school fund were apportioned, also
that there will not be any settlements with
tax collectors by which the funds of 1874
will be paid into the treasury before May.
Therefore, an apportionment for March can
not be made. This will necessitate careful
inquiry as to the expediency of incurring
obligations which your board may find it
difficult to meet. Not until September and
December can we hope to have sufficient.
funds in the treasury to make apportiOn
ments of any considerable amount.
In view of these facts let me urge upon
