Fifth Congre S. ionRl District.

Yesterday al informal meeting CT some
of the prominent members ,t lie Repu5li
can party from the fifth cong. sssional dis
tricf- present ir the city. met for consulta-
ton with Hon. William MurreIi in the
chair. After an interchange Of views it
was resolved, as the sense of the meeting,
that it be recommended to the congressional
committee Of the fifth district that the next
nominating convention be held at Delta.
Il was recommended by resolution that
one week prior to the ting Of The State
convention would be the most suitable time
FOR tie convention to meet.
1t was also commended by those pres
ent from the thirteenth judicial district that
the convent for the nomination of Judge
and district attorney be held st the came
time and place, as was also the case with
those present from the senatorial district
composed OF the parishes of Carroll, Madi-
son. More house and Richland.
The chairman of the meeting was in
structed to have the proceedings OF the
meeting communicated to the congressional
com nlittee.
Il ;s stated that majority OF the cou-
gressic nal committee have united or a call
for q convention to be held at Monroe,
though it is presumed that the committee
wouli as readily have called the conven-
tion at Delta, had they thought it specially
advisable. l. seems that FOR eight years
past the conyentions in the district have
been held alternately at Delta and Monroe,
those points being best suited for tbs con-
ve1ience of the district.

HARRY wINSOME. MIDsHIPMAN.
CHAPTER 7.


Harry Winsome wasn't model mid
shipman ike those you read of in nov
els There was nothing very wonder
full about him M all, in fact. On shore,
when he happened TO go TO a party or
ball, he did not try TO dance all the
evening with the tallest and fairest for
partners; he did not bully the blue
jackets and call them buffers when in
charge If boat; and on board he new
er shirked his work or :. Judged" the
sums the naval instructor gave him TO
work, and he never went on the sick
list with the toothache, and he didn't
spend one-hah of his time at the mast
head because he chose to spend the 9TH
CT half in playing tricks on his superior
officers. But Il Harry had nothing very
brilliant about his eharacter-and bril-
hancy, mind you, Is very dangerous
thing for naval midshipman to be
possessed of-he had something that
was far better he had that Flooding
spirit so characteristic Of the Saxon
race, that indomitable perseverance
which is inseparable from the true En-
glishman's nature; and so, from the
very moment Harry became a naval ca
Diet and fioated away from shore, perch
ed upon his sea-chest, TO join bis ship,
although not enamored Of bis new pro-
fessicn, Harry "meant to go on with
It," No one likes the sea at first
there is so much to endure, so much TO
conquer; but these same hardships,
when overcome, naturally make us love
old ocean all the more.
When Harry and his sea-chest were
bundled-rather unceremoniously, IL
must be allowed--on board the gun-boat
Badger the first thought that occurred
to him WAS that he had never seen such
confusion in his life; for, although the
