Invited to Visit Shreveport.

Senator West some days since received
the following dispatch:
SHREVEPORT, November 8, 1875.
Hon. J. r. West, United States Senator, New Or.
leans:
The Cotton Exchange of Shreveport to
day by unanimous vote passed a resolu.
tion inviting you to visit our city at your
earliest convenience, to enable our people
to confer with you touching the commercial
and agricultural interests of this section OF
the State. Please inform us if you will &C.
cept the invitation, and If so when we may
expect you. t. g. MCWILLIAMS,
Chairman Committee of Invitation.
Senator West had intended to accept the
courteous invitation of the Shreveport Cot.
ton Exchange, although he finds himself
very much absorbed in the multiplicity of
business that demands his clsse attention
during the brief period that will elapse be-
fore the assembling of the next Congress.
Should he not be able, however, to call
upon our Shreveport friends they will bear
in mind that their ineerests are none the
less certain to receive his careful attention,
and in another year they will doubtless be
made to feel that the Interests Of Louisiana
are. % tar - the Senate is concerned, in
the hands Of one who, because he stands
alone, is doubly wstchful of the welfare Of
the people Of the State.

The Edwin Forrest Home, ,

The Courier has the following additional
regarding the late Edwin Forests bequest
for home for needy actors:
Mr.. James Oakes, one of the executors
of the estate OF Edwin FOrresr, informs us
that preparations for carrying out the great
tragedian's wishes in regard to the estab-
lishment of the Edwin Forrest Home, at
Springbrook, are go far advanced that in
mates will probably be received in a few
months. The executors have wisely con-
cluded not to expend 5000, 900 or $500 600 in
erecting large and costly buildings Tor
which there will be no use for several
years to come, and they will convert
the large stone mansion now standing at
Springbrook into the retreat contemplated
by MIR. Forrest 1t contains twenty four
rooms, which, by judicious alterations in
the interior construction of the house, can
easily be out up into forty, and sufficient
accommodation will thus be secured for all
the actors who are likely to take advantage
OF Mr.. Forests benefaction during the
coming decade. 1t may be desirable to erect
a library building, but that will hardly cost
mere than $25 600, and that sum could read
lily be obtained by selling portion of the
Springbrook estate. 1t contains upward of
100 acres, not more than sixty of which will
be needed tor the home, and the remainder
could be sold Immediately without any sac
ritce. 1t is well known that large pro-
portion of the property remaining in the
control of Mr.. Oakes and Mr.. Dougberty,
since the settlement with Mrs. Sinclair, CON
sists of real estate in New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Kentucky, which, if sold now,
would cause great shrinkage in the value
of the estate; and in view Of this circum-
stance the decision of the executors to make
q modest beginning, at the cost only of
some useless show, will receive the hearty
approval of all who are interested in Mr..
Forests msgniticently generous beauest

FuRNITURE.-No article Of household
ware has created, and at this time creates,
80 much discussion as furniture. No house
is complete or comfortable without it, NO
man is, can or will be fond of his home if it

therefore, advise all our readers who desil Q
little paradise on earth to call at Mont
gomerys Armory Hall, No. 81 Camp street,
and inspect and price their immense stock
Of bedroom. psrier, diningroom, hall, Office

they are selling 90 low that you can not
rsaist the temptation to purchase. Thor
goods are from the best factories, East and
