Washington.
Governor Hebert authorizes the state
ment that any representations which may

The Lake Shore.

The prospect of the completion OF the
protection levee along the lake shore, and
the active labOrs of the new street railway
company who are building road out Or
leans street to the lake, has tarned the at
tention of those owning property there to
the advantages to accrue to them, ana
many improvements are now going on. we
have already referred to the contract made
by the Old Canal Company with Genera
Sewell for putting in good order the road
along the bayou. The mouth of Bayou st.
John is being made especially attractive.
A new hotel is to be built at the Old
fort. bath houses are to be erected OF a
new and improved kind, gardens are al
ready being laid out and trees planted and
1ine promenades established. Most OF this
work is being done by Mr.. Gagnet, the
lessee of the canal company. Much OF this
pentleman's labor, however, was destroyed
by the recent gale, when the water rose to
it's highest point in rear of the city. The
break-water was washed away, the piles
loosened and foated up onto the land,
orange trees were ruined, and damage
done, it is estimated, amounting to $2o,Ooo'
Although this loss falls heavily upon Mr.
Gagnet, he set at work at once to repair the
damage, two gangs of workmen and AZ, ooo
feet of lumber being brought Immediately
into requisition.
We learn that it is the intention of Gen
eral Sewell, as soon as the road along the
bayou is made passable, to put number Of
vehicles on the lake shore road to carry
passengers from the old to the new lake
end at ten cents per head. When this IL
done, and the cars commence running on
Orleans street, there will be means OF re-
creation afforded to our citizens such a
they have never before known: Boat races
at the lake viii then be rendered more
feature than ever, while picnic parties VII
find new fields of operation and pleasante'
sources of enjoyment.

Judge Evans may not care much about
the error the reporter of the Times made
yesterday morning, but right is right, new
ertheless In his remarks to the parish
convention, on the subject of apportion-
ment, he said, that in order to learn the
causes which led to the regulation giving
the States an equal representation in the
Senate, it would be necessary to examine
the proceedings of the convention which
net Oh the fourteenth of July, 1887, in the
city of Philadelphia, for the purpose OF
framing the constitution of the United
States. He was remarkably correct IN his
statements, and very clear in his utter
ances, and made use Of almost the identical
words above quoted. This we obtain from
one who was present at the time, and very
near to the speaker.
The occasion affords US the gratifying in
formation that the reporter of the Times
has found out about the right date OF the
adoption of the constitution.

LOUISIANA EQUITABLE LIFE INSURANCE
CoMPANy-We invite attention to the list
of directors who were elected last Monday
to serve during the ensuing year by the
stockholders of this company. As will be
seen, it comprises the names, without sim
gle exception, Of solid, able and good men.
Such list is seldom rivaled by business
institution in this or any other city, and We
consider it an impossibility to excel it. 1t
shows what our home life insurance COM
pany is, and what the public is to expect
from it, and appeals stronger to the good
sense of persons wishing to insure their
lives than would whole volumes written to
demonstrate the amount of moneyed capital
there was to back the candidate for favor.
1t carries with it conviction that nothing
but honor will be the guiding star of the
Louisiana Equitable, and we rejoice that it
| is 80, for we would so like to see that insti-
tuition take the place which of right belongs
| to it, and be at the head of all the life in
| surance companies of the Southwest.

Disraeli is seventy years old. At first
glance this fact would appear fat denial
of all the rumors uniting Disraeli to various
widows; but the truth is that most men
seventy years old regard themselves as in
the yery prime of life.

The BATON Rouge Adcocate of the second
instant says:
Henry Graham, ESQ.,. of East Baton
Rouge, and Hon. II. NJ. Fayrot, OF West
Baton Rouge, suggest that if persons ap-
pointed to distribute provisions, ETC., to the
poor who have suffered by overflow, would
also secure and distribute cotton seed am on
those who have thus suffered, it weulo rem
der great relief by enabling many to replant
the ground once planted this year, bat la ter
destroyed by excessive rains as well as by
overflow from high water Many who have
already planted have no more seed to re-
plant, and any contributions of seed to
such would, we feel, be most thankfully re,
ceived. Many also who are able to buy seed
do not know where they can be had.
