St. Louis Hotel rotunda must inevitably have
recalled that event when they returned there
as legislators, and felt irresistibly inclined to
sell themselves again-this time for their own
benefit.
We call the attention of the Donaldsonville
Chief, Terrebonne Courier ct al. to these rea-
sons why the State capital should be re-
moved from New Orleans. They will see that
they were slightly mistaken when they stated
that no reasons had been assigned for this
change; there are reasons, as we have shown,
religious, gastronomic and political, why the
State capital should be removed to the rail-
roadless city of Baton Rouge. II you wish to
protect your legislators, their religion, their
stomachs, their souls, "vote for Baton Rouge
for State capital"

Mrs Skunk, the daughter of Judge Jere
Black, whose marriage to Mr.. Hornsby has
been announced, is thus described by an ad-
miring correspondent Of Western paper:
Mrs. Skunk Is lady Of about thirty-five,
with the "society gray" hair that is so much
admired when accom- panied by bright eyes
and d fresh complexion. Her eyes are dark,
nose straight, mouth small-zbut firmly deci-
sive She is Of medium height. She is one OF
the few women to whom the word brilliant
can be properly applied. A better talker, a
wittier woman, or one who is more GW coaTGRt
ID public affairs, it would be hard to find. She
is d favorite child of Judge Blacks. He has
often said that it was great pity that she
was not a man, because she Is a better lawyer
than be is. With all her intellectual wealth
Mrs Skunk is skilled and fascinating soci-
ETY. lady. II has been her custom to spend
her winters at Washington, and it was here
that she met Mr.. Hornsby.
