Judge L. n. Sims reached home on
the steamer Lee Tuesday night, and
appeared at bis Office next day the
picture of good health. He took a
much more extended trip than we
had any idea he intended to do, visit
ing Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati,
Niagara Falls, New York, ETC., re-
turning via Philadelphia and Pitts
burg, having enjoyed very pleasant
tour. Judge Sims was in Nashville
pending the visit of President Hayes
and party to that city, and he de-
scribes. in glowing eolors the popular
outpouring and enthusiasm attending
that event. He describes the Presi-
dent as heavy-set man of goodly
stature and benevolent expression OF
countenance, Indicative of the kind
heart which our chief magistrate un-
doubtedly possesses.

The excursion and camp meeting
advertised to take place here Satnr-
day and Sunday las, far the hAnAat
of the st. Peter NJ. E. Church, were a
fiat failure. AS sufficient number of
tickets were not sold to justify the
starting of train from New Orleans,
no excursionists reached here, and as
natural consequence no camp-meet-
ing was held. We sympathize with
our friends of the NJ. E. congregation
for this expensive and provoking
taur pas, which may be attributed to
the fact that the public has had a
surfeit of excursions recently, and
those who did have. time and money
to devote to that species of diversion
had already reached the limit of both
when the St. Peter affair was an
nounced. Better luck next time.
