LET ALL THE People READ !-AH-
nouncement Extraordinary 1T is a
well known fact that the great panic
in financial circles last winter, fol-
lowed by the poor sale of very ordi~
nary cotton and sugar crop, have pro-
duced great demand for ready cash
among the merchants generally and
especially those who furnished plant
ers with provisions and stores neces-
sary for carrying on their places. To
this latter class our largest merchant,
Mr.. MARX ISRAEL, has proven no ex-
ception, nor does he seek to conceal
the fact. On the contrary, he wishes
his friends and the public generally to
know that he is in urgent need of
CASH
to carry on his extensive business, to
obtain which he has marked his mag
nifcent stock of goods down to the
lowest possible figures, offering in
ducements to cash purchasers never
excelled for their libcrality in the an
nails of Donaldsonville mercantile his
tory. This announcement is no adj
vertising dodge, but q plain, matter
of-fact business notice, and those who
visit Mr.. Israel's large establishment
and price his goods will be assured OF
the truth whereof We speak.

An informant who stands ready to
swear himself black in the face to
substantiate his story, says that an
alligator fifteen feet in length was
shot in the Lacroix eddy, below town,
a day or two since, by Mr.. Leon
Rateaux. Really: these monsters are
becoming unusually common in this
vicinity, and no truly good little boy
should go in swimming without con-
sidering beforehand the danger OF
swallowing one of the varmints and
thus fastening the approach of the
gaunt monster who claims all things
mortal for his prey.

Our planters, who few weeks
since were praying for rain, would
feel thankful if the clerk of the
weather would ease up his water
spouts a little now, as there is suf-
ficient dampness prevailing on the

meet the present demand, and in
case the daily showers are continued

AMATEUR DRAMATIOs.

L uC hAbC1 bdlA14I0nt 1eteI s719uleeJ ofOA-
ing--A Large and Delighted Audience
Witness the Rendition Of lie Chalet !"
and Husband to Order
The d. S. G. B. Hall was well filled
last Saturday evening, upon the oe-
casion of the dramatic performance
for the benefit of the Ascension
Episcopal Church, public interest be-
ing aroused to such an extent that
the threatening weather did not pos
sess terrors enough to deter even the
ladies from venturing abroad to at
tend the entertainment.
The French operetta 81 LIE Chalet !"
was given first, and all the eharact-
ers were admirably rendered. Mrs.
NJ. Israel as Nile. Betley was inimit-
able, while Messrs. j. j. and b.
Claverie as Mar, the sergeant, and
Daniel, the enamored of Miss Betley,
even surpassed their former efforts
in the dramatic line, which is as great
praise as could be bestowed upon
them. Messrs. s. Brand, A. Gingry,
Jules Gondron and David Israel ac-
quilted themselves creditably in mi
nor parts, while the squad of soldiers
presented very soldierly appearance
indeed, and their grand chorus was
well received. " LIE Chalet was de-
cidedly a great success, and the aud
fence was immensely pleased with it..
After an intermission of thirty min
utes, the serio-comic drama of GA
Husband to Order" was produced,
and met with as hearty appreciation
as the preceding operetta. Mr.. r. p.
Landry as the coxeomb nobleman
Baron Beaupre and VIM. Klopman
Esq. as the dashing officer Pierre
MarceGa, both showed themselves
well prepared, and their acting elicit
ed frequent applause. Tom. II.
Franklin, Esq. fairly brought down
the house every time he appeared on
the stage in the humorous and diff
ficuIt character of wealthy farmer
PhiIpedu, cousin of Pierre, which
he rendered most excellently. Miss
Lyle Hanson as Josephine, the Bar
on's neice, Miss Maggie Hanson as
Elise, his ward, and Miss S. L. Han
son as Madame PMHpeaN, all sus-
tanned their parts admirably, and Mr..
4. Gingry did exceedingly well in
the character of 4ndtole Latour, the
young lawyer.
No more successful or satisfactory
performance has ever been given in
our town, and we are glad to see the
merit of our amateur dramatist so
dcservedly appreciated by the pub
lie, especially when exerted in so
good cause as it was last Saturday.
The entertainments of Friday and
Saturday evenings, together with the
refreshment tables, which received
liberal patronage, doubtless melted a
snug little sum for the Episcopal
church, and we congratulate the pro-
iectors upon the success attained.

kate Field in the st. Louis Republican
English BluntEess.

l was first startled by the absence OF
what can only be expressed by the
French word cOmplaisanee. Ameri-
can pOliteness is more nearly modelled
upon French than English manner.
The aim of an American in decent So
eiety is to give as little offense as pos
sible, to say pleasant things even at
the expense Of unvarnished truth, and
to place himself, as well as those with
whom he cOnverses in the most agree
able light. The typical Englishmsn
indulges in no such sentimentality.
There is much more of brute about
him. He makes no effort to please,
but If you please him he will bask in
that pleasure as q lizard basks in
sunshine, and once your friend can be
relied upon. He delights in chafR.
American society had rather tell q
pleasant lie than an unpleasant truth.
In England the natural and univer-
sal impluse-with: exceptions, be it un-
derstOod-is to say whatever comes
uppermOst, especially IL it be some
thing disagreeable. Yet the express
sion is so unconscious as to leave no
poison in the sting. The greatest
grievances English society nurses
against US is what it calls American
isns. That forty millions Of people
should dare to invent words fills John
Bull with unspeakable horror. Our
sudaeity in thus defiling the well Of
English is only equalied by our vul-
garity of tone, all Americans, accord
ing to John Bull, speaking with mas
al tWang. ayes, all Americans, you
excepted" exclaimed very clever,
big-hearted Englishman, one evening
while entertaining me at his own Ia
BILE, ''all Americans have q dreadful
twang. They all talk through their
noses" This gentleman had a very
decided nasal tone. Perfectly true"
chimed in one after another, all good
naturedIy, but all in earnest.

Judge Gilmore.

The nOmiHatiOn of Judge Gilmore
to the Supreme Bench was an out
rageOus thing for the Democratic State
Convention to do. 1t would be hard
to find in all Ohio q lawyer or "Judge"
less qualified in every way for 50 re-
spOnsible 4 position. He is unletter-
ed, ignorant even in bis chosen pro-
fessiCn, and the slave Of his appetite.
The Sheriff Of Butler County has
been compelled 10 adjourn Court from
day to day while Judge Gilmore was
indulging in one Of his frequent and
protracted sprees. The Butter County
Bar, not long since, sent him petit
tiOn asking him to exchange and so
let another Judge hold Court in But
Ter. Only q short time ago he was
arraigRed before the Mayor OF his
own village and fined for drunken
ness. When Lindley was on trial for
embezzIemeut, Gilmore chan yed the
Court record and so set Lindley free !;
and this judicial act was openly de-
nOuneed by q prominent member of
the Butler County Bar as infamous.
These are terrible charges to prefer
against q man nominated TO the
highest judicial Office in the gift of
the State-an Office TO the proper
filling Of which prOpriety of depOrt-
ment and intelligence, are as essen
tial as integrity Of character. Before
this campaign Is over 1t will not be
the fault Of the Telegraph if the peO-
pie OF Ohio generally are not has
fully acquainted with this mans bad
habits and vicious associations and
consequent unfitness for the Office he
seeks, as are the people Of Butler,

The Duty Ora Woman to be a Lady.

Wildness is thing which girls
cannot afford DslieeeYs s. i5.iast il n thing
art can restore to the grape its bloom.
Familiarity srithe1t love, svithout
confidence, without regard, is de-
structive of all that makes woman
exalted and ennObliBg.
THE world is wide, these things are small ;
They may be something, but they are all.'
Nothing d? 1t is the first duty OF a
woman to be lady. Good breeding
is good sense. Bad manners in TO-
man is immortality. AWkwaFdness
may be ineradieable. BLshfulness is
constitutional. Ignorance of etiquette
is the result of circumstances. All
can be eOndoned, and do not Danish
man or women from the amenities OF
their kind. But self-pvssession, uu-
shrinking and aggressive e0arseness
of demeanOr may bs reckOned as a
state prison Offense, and certainly
merits the mild from of restraint cali
ed Imprisonment for life. IL is
shame for women TO be lectured on
their manners. 1t is a bitter shame
that they need it. Women are UNI
pires of society, 1t is they to whom
all thlOOIEu SllOAAft BE IGlEAAlCNs
To be a lady is more than to be a
prince. A lady is always in her right
inalienably worthy Of respect. To a
lady, prince and peasant alike bow.
Do not be restrained. Do not have
the impulses that need restraint.
Do not wish To dance with the prince
unsOught. Feel indifferently. Be
such that you confer honor. Garry
yourself so lofty that men will look
up to you for reward, not at you in
rebuke. The natural sentiment Of
man toward women is reverence.
He loses O large means of grace when
he is obliged to account her a being
to be trained INTO prOpriety. A
mans idea is not wounded when a
woman fails in worldly wisdom but
if in grace, in sentiment, in delieacy,
In kindness, she should be found
wanting, he receives an inward hurt.

Putnam and the Wolf

General Israel Putnam's grave is in
so bad condition, at Brooklyn. Con-
necticut, where he died eighty-four
years ago, that it Is proposed to ask
the Legislature Of that State to appro-
pirate 5000 for a monument. Old
Put. was a lively style Of person.
That wolf story was always layOrite
with US. We reproduce it IN Grim
oled form. A she-wOlf did il. The
town went for her, aud drove her into
her den, and tried to drive her out with
straw, iire, ,,and sulphur. II wouldn't
do. Dogs got scared, aud she wasn't
afraid OF birthstone. It was near 10
p. NJ. Mr.. P. proposed 70 his negro
man to descend into the cave and
shoot the wolf COlored man thought
he wouldn't p. determined to do it
himself. He tied rope around his
legs, by which he might be pulled
back on signal, entered the cavern
with torch, proceeded on hands and
feet, aud found out precisely where
the Varmint was. He went back, got
his gun, descended again, and put
nine buek-shOt in her dome Cf
thought. Selling her by the ears, be
kicked the rope, and he and the wolf
were drawn up on dry land. That is
the story, and it is good story.
