We learn that a Mardi Gras ball
will take place at the D. S. C. j. Hall
Tuesday night, under the auspices of
persons whose identity has not been
made public. Application was last
week made for the use of the truck
house of Ascension Hook and Lal-
der Company, and favorably re-
sponded to by that organization
at its meeting of Monday night.
The application was in the shape of a
written communication from Ditto,
Private Secretary to His Royal High
ness H. nephew of His Majesty Rex,
and it was directed therein that the
company's hall should be delivered
into the possession of His Majesty's
first cook on the morning of the 18th.
From this it is to be inferred that the
visitor and his guests will take some
thing to eat, and perhaps modicum
of LIQUID refreshment likewise, dur
ing the course Of their regal reunion
The young scion of royalty mystically
designated by the tail-end of the al
phabet is represented to be accom-
panying his gracious uncle upon his
annual tour to the regions of Comus
otherwise called the Pelican State,
and while the cousins Rex and Comus
hold high carnival at the gay capital
the city of Orleans, the festive ~
proposes to visit this seaport town
and give reception for the edifica'
ton of the peasantry of the rural dis
tricts who may be prevented by un'
propitious circumstances from visiting
the royal capital and witnessing the
more imposing pageants OF the grand
Hicockolorums of the carnival season
| There is considerable secrecy attend
ant upon the preparations for " rs
blowout. and we can only surmise
the character and scope of the pro
posed entertainment.

THE ROUSSEAU HOMICIDE.-At an
early hour Monday morning, young
Wallace Rousseau died at his resi-
dence in Smoke Bend Settlement of
the pistol wound received at the
hands of Euphemon Guedry on the
24tll of January. The Coroner held
an inquest, and the jury returned a
verdict in accordance with the facts.
Mr.. Guetlry, who had been previously
released on bond, was re-arrestcd
and incarcerated in the parish Jail.
On Wednesday a preliminary exam
ination of the case was held before
Parish Judge Maher, and four or five
of the main witnesses for the prose-
cution gave their testimony establish
ing that Gue,lry had declined to fight,
had warned deceased not to advance
upon or strike him, and was assaulted
and knocked down before using his
pistol. Accused made voluntary
declaration, which comedies in all its
essential points with the evidence of
witnesses, concluding with an express
sion of opinion which is Endorsed by
nearly all who are familiar with the
facts and evidence-tlat but for the
interference of certain third party
the affray which brought young Rous-
seau to an untimely grave would not
have taken place. The Parish Judge
sent the case to the District Court,
and accused was released upon bond
of $4,000, signed by Messrs. Henry
Cook and just. Oubre as securities.

Mr.. Bernard Lemann has purchased
the two lots owned by Mr.. Emile st.
Martin, situated on Mississippi street
between Crescent Place and Railroad
Avenue, from which the buildings
were recently burned. The purchase
price was $4,000, half Of which, we
believe, was paid down, the remain
der falling due in one year. Mr.. Lem
ann is having the debris removed
from the lots preparatory to putting
up an extensive brick building, which
will greatly improve the appearance
of that part of town. The price paid
for these lots is probably but little
less than they would have brought
with the old buildings on them, hence
Mr.. st. Martins loss was compare
lively light, while the town has gained
in decided degree.
