DROWNING THE SHAMROCK.

It matters but little to me
lfin France good St. Patrick was born,
OT if he was born on sea
In ste hip when doubling Cape Horn;
Twas in Erin's green isle that he first
As the man for the time took position
popular preacher, and versed
In the craft OF a frst-class physician.
That the shamrock he first took in hand
"a book with three leaves all one stalk on,
And from it made folks understand
The path they should properly walk on.
No doubts would cast upon that,
Since to-day every true Irish fellow
Wears a sprg of the same in his hat,
His exuberant feelings to mellow.
But there g something gladly would know
ST. Patricks own personal habits;
For potatoes and point did he go,
Or for beetsteaks and chops and Welsh rabbits!
And what's of more consequence far,
When his shamrock to drown he got ready,
Did he call for a twO-galon jar
Full of poteen with poison made headyl
Mo- st. Pat was man. at his worst,
Who eer of such horrible stuff heard,
Nor ever to murder their thirst
With bad liquor the boys would have suffered;
In he best OF good whisky, I'll bet,
His shamrock discreetly he smothered
And ne'er with m,jams was beset,
Nor ever with headaches was bothered.
But the whisky we swallow today,
With such poison is primed, mOres the pity,
That its vapors drive people to pray
For its downfall in country and city:
'Tis hard luck admit, to go dry,
But if liquors the spirit Of slaughter
For the shamrock no whisky, say l,
Far better to drown it in water

A Eraternal Visit.

We learn that the grand officers of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, with
quite delegation of the members of the
fraternity, propose leaving town this morn
ing, to pay visit to Grand Master 5. T
Grisamore, at his home in Thibodaux, and
to spend social evening with the brothers
of Excelsior Lodge No. "a.
The Odd Fellows of New Orleans have
made a glorious record of work well done
in years gone by, and when they unbend
themselves from sterner duties to indulge
in festivities like this none can acquit them
selves so well. We know the good brothers
of Excelsior Lodge will be gratifed with
the visit of their city brothers, while the
latter will make the best of their trip into
the country

Southern Claims.
The following is an explicit statement of
Southern claims as passed the Senate: 1.-The
army appropriation bill, as it came from
the House, did not affect in any respect the
claims for property in the rebellious States,
but It proposed to augment the claims COM
mission by two new members, who were to
have jurisdiction of all claims for property
taken in the. loyal States" This PROPOSE
tion was rejected by the Senate, and that
body farther amended the House bill by
requiring special appropriations by Con-
gress to pay the awards of the Quarter
master and Commssary Generals for loyal
State property.
Governor Hebert's Reply to General
Beauregard's Letter.
Governor Hebert publishes letter to-
day in answer to General Beauregard.
These paragraphs occur: General He
bert has disqualified himself from speaking
for the suffering white people of the State
by accepting an office from, and lending his
Influence to those who have usurped it's
government to despOil them" The state
ment above quoted is filed with the ami
mus of an inslnuation which casts an unjust
and uncalled for reflection upon nv mo-
tives.
The Governor gives the political history
OF General Beauregard, and argues that if
either Is disqualified from speaking for the
people of Louisiana it is General Beaure-
gard. Hebert claims that his appointment
came almost directly from the President,
but concludes: One word in regard to the
present State administration. In his last
annual message Governor Kellogg euun-
ciated certain proposed reforms, which
met with the approval of all good cit-
zens. Under difficulties almost appalling,
considering the Legislative material he had
to deal with, he has, through his own per-
sonal exertions, aided by some good men in
the Legislature, succeeded in passing most
of these measures, and they are now laws
also. AS long as he fights it out on that
line | shall give him my support, and so
should all good citizens, irrespective
of party prejudices. But should Gov
ernor Kellogg, unfortunately for his
own reputation, present and to come, and
still more unfortunately for the barely pos
sible recovery of a plundered, impoverished
and struggling State, abandon that policy,
for one shall be found in the front ranks
OF opposition with pen and tongue, as l
wO1ld be under like circumstances against
any State government, Democratic or Re-
publican.

General Exercises in the Central Boys
High school.

General Exercises in the Central Boys
High school.
Yesterday afternoon was devoted to the
general exercises of declam alton and read
ing compositions in the Boys High School
The occasion called out a number of visit
ors, including Superintendent Boothby
Drs. Clark and Russell, of the board OF
directors, some of the teachers and several
pupils of the Upper Girls High School.
Professor Seaman and his able corps Of
assistants have the honor of presiding oyel
school of boys which is really credit to
them. The young gentlemen are at once
orderly, intelligent and manly in their de.
pertinent, and were evidently objects OF
considerable admiration to their fair sisters
of the Upper Girls School, who had OBJ.
tanned permission to come down from the
Garden District to witness their literary
| efforts.
| At the close of the exercises Mr.. Boothby
addressed the young gentlemen in a few
very judicious remarks, which he preceded
by returning thanks for the discipline and
good order which prevailed throughout
the exercises. Also, complimented them
upon the ability displayed. not only in
elocution. but composition. Both compli-
ments were well deserved, as it would be
difficult to find more pleasing assem- blage
of young gentlemen than the boys of the
Central High School. We have been ia
vored by Professor Seaman with the order
of exercises, as follows:
Defamation by Master Gilmore-Selec-
ton from Shakespeare's Julius Cesar
Cassius' Arraignment of Cesar. This was
most excellently read, and created pro-
foundly favorable impression upon critical
hearers.
Defamation by Master Rawlins-Mark
Antony's parting with Cleopatra, Il Am
Dying, Egypt, Dying"
Composition by Master Wilson-"Love
and Friendship"
Composition by Master A. Aby-"Snipe's
Serenade." This was very well written
comical sketch of the difficulties encoun-
tered by lovesmitten rustic who at
tempted to serenade his Dulcina, and met
with difficulties suggestive of an adventure
on Nelson street, which may be found re-
ported in the Danbury Nescs. The youth
succeeded at last, however, much to the
qualification of the young ladies, who
seemed to be greatly interested in the trib-
ulations of young Snipe.
Defamation by Master NJ. Gutheim-.'A
Dutch Recitation"
Composition by Master II. Reggio-"The
Eiremen's Procession on the Fourth of
March,"
Masters A. Smith and Stein read compost
tions on the subject submitted to the senior
class: The Intrinsic Value of Knowledge" |
Defamation by Master Seeskind.
Defamation by Master Hunter: ''Miltons |
Description of Satan" 1t was a heavy sub |
ject for small boy, but was handled very
creditably.
The critic for the occasion was Master F. |
c. Waldo, who made notes as the exercises |
and showed wonderful aptness. |
accuracy and rapidity in keeping up with
The various subjects. As might be expected,
here was slight tendency to monotony in
1is critique; but such is the tendency of |
hat class of composition.
The corps Of teachers in this school are
Professors Seaman, Leche, Cross, Wilde
md Gill;mop

Assassination of an American Missionary
in Npvicn

in Mexico.
The following information is contained in
dispatch from Mexico, dated the tenth
instant:
fearful outrage was perp etrated by a
mob at Ahualueco. in the State of Jalisco,
last Sunday. In the morning a priest de-
hvered an incendiary sermon, in the course
of which he advocated the determination of
the Protestants. This so excited his hearers
that an armed mob of 200 persons gathered
in the evening, and proceeded to the resi-
dence of Rev. John Stevens, Congrega-
tiOnal minister sent out by the Boston Board
of Foreign Missions, with criesof "Long
live the priests" They broke into the
house, and seizing the clergyman, smashed
his head into a jelly and chopped his body
into pieces.
They afterward sacked the house and
carried off everything of value. After much
delay the riot was suppressed by the local
authorities. The government has sent de-
tachment of troops to the place. A rigid
investigation has been set on foot, and Or
ders have been issued for the arrest of
all priests in Ahualeco and the neighborine
town of Teshitan.-
A mobin Sagaryaco, acting under similar
religious frenzy, attached tho small Gsrri.
son OF the town, burned the public archives
and pillaged the houses Of the authorities.
