CAMERON, o., August 81, 1876
Ed. SPIRIT: Among the numerous pic
mic celebrations by the different organi-
cations this Centennial year, the Gran
gers gave one on Saturday, August 10,
which we consider worthy Of notice
The place selected was about p miles
northeast of Cameron, at the grove near
the Cain School House. The procession
was formed at the school house at 81
O'Clock 4, Ma and proceeded to the
grove, headed by the lMellott Martial
Band, which sent forth its soft, sweet
strains of music on the balmy air, filling
every heart with ecstatic delight. After
arriving at the grove the procession
broke ranks, and preparations were i'm
mediately completed for dinner. After
everything was in readiness the audience
was again called to order and the read
ing OF the grand purposes of the Gran.
gers, by Mr.. Thomas Cain. was perform.
ed In good style. Again the procession
Nas formed, the Grangers occupying the
front and the lockers on the rear, snd
marched around the table, the process
sion divided, marching on either side.-
There not being room enough at the
frst table for all, to thegreat amazemenl
Of the visitors the Grangers marched
past, giving them the honor of eating a
the first table, which exhibited true po
likeness. and was pleasant feature o
the occasion.
After all had eaten heartily Of the de
licious food which loaded the table al
most to the point of breaking down, ant
the ,.eavings taken care OF, the remaining

.Tildcn is an acute observer and re-
sourceful manager, q man Of intellect

person to boss The job when he has .

rather than suffer them to use him."

AMUSEMENTS.

ACADEMY OF MUsrc.-"La File de
Madame Angot"' was given for the
second time at the Academy, and was
well received by a crowded house. Miss
Julia Mathews distinguished herself as
Charlotte, and was frequently greeted
with applause. Tonight Miss Mathews
takes q benefit, appearing in LA File
du Regiment" and Aladdin" At Sat-
urday..s matinee "Girafie- Girofa" will
The Daughter OF the Regiment" and
aladdin. These two pieces will con
stitute the bill at the Academy tonight.
The former is always q fayOrite opera
in this city. The burlesque OF "Alad-
din took us by storm, when presented
here by Lydia Thompson's troupe, and
is presented in az equally enjoyable
manner by the Mathews troupe OF the
opera. The Toronto Globe says:
Royal Opera House.-Last night the
popular opera "The Daughter Of the
Regiment was performed to a large
audience, and with very hearty APP
part OF Josephine with great spirit and
aplomb, her singing and acting being
thoroughly enjoyed. Mr.. John l.. Hall
acted Scdldde with much natural humor.
The GnHioH Of Mr.. W. Forester gave
great satisfaction, and the duet II love
but thee" sung by Miss Mathews and
himself, was warmly encOred. The call
at the close OF the opera was unanimous.
Miss Mathews will benefit by the per-
Torrance this evening. Let there be a
bumper"
ST.. CHARLES THEATRE.-The customary
amount Of fun and laughter was in store
last night at the st. Charles for the
patrons OF this favorite resort. Miss
Schott in her illusions, the Yales and
the many conscientious artists attached
to this establishment all received their
due share OF public appreciation. To-
night will be repeated the same attrac-

Pleading the Baby Act.
New York Tribune.

IN"W IOTK ITIUuHU.J
La his answer to the testimony which
connects him with the safe burglary
conspiracy, Gen. Babcock pleads the
baby act. There had been some attacks
made upon the General probably
through n licentious press-in connec-
Hon with the performances OF the Board
Of Public Works. So he, innocent crea-
lure. asked Col. Whitley to find out
who were the assailants. just to think
o. II, now, is 1t not extraordinary that
Vol. Whitley should have got into his
mead that he was thus authorized to
hlre burglars and carry out the whole
POT against Mr.. Alexander And all
at all about it, any more than a babe.

The Circuit Court room was CROWDS
yesterday morning with spectator
anxious to hear tho arguments Of coun
sci in the whisky cases.
Judge Woods, upon ascending tn,
bench, informed the members OF tn,
bar that the civil docket OF his cour
would be found In Judge Billings court
The Grand Jury was then called, ant
every member answering to his name
that body retired upon motion OF tn.
District Attorney. o rs
The following parties we're Their
arraigned and placed under bonds; 4, Jno
Henderson, Jr., Patrick Irwin as secu
rity for $40, 900; W. A.. Thomas also gave
Patrick Irwin as security In the sum o.
5000; J. II. Beales furnished security 10
the sum OF 5000, James Cook being his
bondsn nan; Il. W. Eaton also furnished
bond In the same sum, II. M, Twichell
signing as security Jnor Henderson
own recognizance; also Thos. II. Webb.
Judge Woods also stated that all rules,
exceptions and rehearing would be
transferred to Judge Billings court,
except cases already tried by him.
The case OF II. J. Higgins vs.. New Or
leans Gas Light Company was dis
missed. +
Special pleas were fled In the cases OF
Behan, Hammond, O'Brien, Henderson
and Fehrenbach. 9AM WU&Am
Mr.. Semmes, Of counsel for defend
ants in the whisky cases, then made a
motion that the indictments made by
the old Grand Jury be quashed, rs tho
Government had no right to hold 4 Citi-
zen under two indictments for the same
ofense. aa aafA
After the District Attorneys answer,
Judge Woods overruled the motion Of
defendants counsel, assuring, at the
same time, thst the court would protect
defendants from oppression, and would
grant them q speedy trial.
.L Mr.. Semmes then moved that the
now indictments be quashed upon the
grounds stated In the plea published
yesterday, and the additional ground
that the Indictment was not legally
man, having been affixed thereto with
out the concurrence Of twelve jurors /;
also, that the indictment was presented
to the court without the authority Of
the Grand Jury.
Defendants then presented quite a
formidable array OF arguments based
upon legal points, going to show that
the court had the power to Investigate
the averments. The District Attorney
thereupon retorted hat the avsrmeDts
were matters Of fact, which the court
itself had no power and no means to as
certain. Mr.. Semmes and other counsel
for the defense again renewed the aver
ment, but stated that they did not as
sert the facts from personal knwledge.
The discussion continued for some time,
the motion to quash being finally over
ruled and the court adjourned, after
having fixed the pleadings to Saturday
morning. The Grand Jury was also
discharged until that time. W

OH HAPPY TIMBER AGENTS.

Webster defines an agent" "a substi
tute, a deputy, a factor, one interested
with the business OF another" AND
climber" that sort OF wood which IL
proper for buildings, furniture, fences,
ships and the like" He adds I'VE ap-
ply the word to standing trees which
are suitable for the uses above men
toned" but Webster who, at the time,
must have been distracted into sub
liner thoughts, forgot TO tell us what
the two words meant when put together,
and it will be the everlasting glory OF
the Republican party that 1t has filled
up the chasm. Future generations will
bless the Grants, the Belknaps and the
Robesons for the priceless legacy. and
hereafter no dictionary will be complete
without a proper definition Of the com
pound word "Timber-agent."
Commonplace and u~nrefiecting minds
would be apt to imagine that . timber
agent is q man who, for a certain CON
s%ideration, takes care OF the Govern
ment timber, inspects the localities, and
sees that it is not stolen or misused.
Doleful error Popular delusion !
Maidenly ignorancei A timber agent
has nothing to do with timber. He is
in some sort pledged to ignore the very
essenc ind local habitation OF the fan
ciful forests where timber is supposed
TO take care OF itself. He smokes his
pipe OF an afternoon, perhaps leisurely
reclining under some wide-spreading
tree-"sub tegmine fogi"-wholly I'M
conscious that he is In such a danger
GUS proximity to timber, and his minds
eye reflects nothing but the forthcoming
draft from the Navy Department,
with the many joys that will
ensue from its encashment.
His digestion is good, his conscience
is quiet, his sleep is profound, his
dreams are OF q rosy tint, fresh from
the golden gates. A timber agent lac
cording to Purnam) is a man who '''gets
BAL a month and has nothing to do, f,
provided he is an octiue Republican"
[See yesterday mornings dispatches.
Truly, the ways OF the good Repub-
Iican are soft, and virtue brings its own
reward. H. !

The sprihg meeting OF the louisiana
Jockey Club promises to be by far the
most in Interesting event Of its kind that
has occurred since the war. Held in
the loveliest cas- Of the year, when
nature Is freshly robed ia its new suit
and the air Is perfume-laden with the
scent OF the roses. the spring meeting is
looked upon as the most interesting OF
the racing eason with us and Is espe-
pecially the favorite with the fair sex. T
The beautiful club grounds are now
decked out in their loveliest bloom and
everything about them is in perfect
and most beautiful condition. The
track could not be in finer order than
| at present. and the and roads
leading thereto are all in fine order.
With no unfavorable weather to mar tn 9
present favorable condition Of things,
and with so many and such splendid
coursers of the turf as have gathered
here to contend for the honors OF the oc-
~casion, the Jockey Club has every reat
son to anticipate a most brilliant week
and our turf lovers to witness such q
season as has not been enjoyed in our
city for many a year. pa "1
Some Of the most noted racers have
come to take part in the exciting strug-
gle for victory, and the gathering OF
promising new aspirants for turf honOrs
Is such as has rarely. II eve before,
been seen here. -
On Wednesday morning Capt. Cottrill
arrived with his famous stable from
Alabama. Headed by the RATHER SIAM
pede, it contains also the following
thoroughbreds: Ascension, Lemonade,

very hard to beat.
The stable Of Mr.. Hitchcock arrived
Yesterday, and those Of Messrs. Weldon,
Warwick and Cheatham were expected
hourly, and with them all here, about
one hundred ofthe finest coursers in the
the purses and the honors OF the Spring
Meeting OF tho Centennial year. ra
With several lines OF cars running so
conveniently to the course. with fine,
broad plank walks leading from the cars
to the gates, hundreds and thousands
will avail themselves of these pleasant,
speedy and cheap routes to the rae
course, and thus avoid the dust and dis
comfort OF a carriage drive thereto.
Even should April showers come, they
cannot materially interrupt the brilliant
prospect for a most exciting and de-
IijQhtful season, and We think that at its
close our people and the management Of
the Louisiana Jockey Club will write in
red letters in their archives, the Spring
meeting Of the Centennial year.
