The occupation of the beautiful
Lemann building marks new era i'll
the business history of Donaldson
vile. The popular firm of NJ. Israel
& Co., ever at the fore in commercial
enterprise, have taken possession of
the most desirable portion of the edi-
fee, being that which forms the cor
ner of Mississippi street and Railroad
Avenue, and the three stories of their
spacious department afford ample
space for the attractive display of the
immense stocks which they will here
after carry. The appearance of their
new store. viewed from either interior
or exterior, will rival many of the
finest establishments on the fashion
able thoroughfares of New Orleans,
aud no doubt large number of peo-
pie will take, advantage of the general
invitation extended the public to visit
the store on the occasion of its formal
opening next Saturday night, from ~
to 10 o'clock.
All the remainder of the building is
occupied by Mr.. Bernard Lemann,
concerning whose business we hope to
speak at length in an early number
of the CHIEF. We also propose to
give a detailed description of the en-
tire structure, for we believe the mag
nifcent +" Lemann block +" is destined
to stand as one of the most conspicu-
Gus landmarks of Donaldsonville for
many future years.

A ludicrous affair of honorn oc-
Cured here three weeks ago. Two
well-known young men had. an alter
cation on Sunday, during which one
struck the other in the face. The
party suffering this indignity sought
an explanation next day, which was
given in eonciliatory and regretthl
manner, and the aggrieved individu-
al expressed himself satisfied. Brood
ing over the affair, however, he con-
sidered that his honor was not vindi-
Gated by the explanation, and he
forthwith indited a challenge for NOR
tai combat which was promptly de-
livered and accepted, and the pre-
liminaries of the affair arranged.
Shot-guns were chosen as the, weap-
ons; distance, twenty PAGES; time, 2
o'clock place, just back of the rail-
road. Included in the arrangements,
however, was a little plot between
the seconds and the challenged prin-
cipal to load the guns with blank car
tIidges, it being the anticipation that
the challenging principal would show
the white feather at the critical mo-
ment; but if he should not do so, no
one would be hurt. All unconscious
of this deception, the young man
went about bidding his relatives and
friends a last good bye, saying that
he knew he would be killed, as his
opponent was good shot, but lie was
determined to die rather than allow
the insult offered him to pass unre-
sented. Arrived on the field the dis
lance was measured and the principals
assumed their positions, when one of
the seconds suggested that it was a
shame two men of family should shoot
each other down like dogs If an ami
cable arrangement of their difficulty
was possible. The hero of the occasion
showed decided signs of weakening at
this iuncture, and asked his leading
second if the affair could not be adj
justed, but the latter secuted the idea
with feigned. Indignation aud said the
fight must go on. Unexpectedly the
party accepted the situation and stood
his ground. At the word of command
he blazed away, and was apparently
astonished to observe that neither
shot had taken effect. Seeing his an
fagonist in the act of preparing to fire
the other barrel of his weapon, he
followed suit and snapped cap, but
the charge ofpowder failed to explode,
Being now in the spirit of the thing,
he drew couple of loaded cartridges
from his pocket and demanded an
other fire, but the seconds refused
declaring that the matter should &C
no farther, honor being satisfied by
the exchange of shots. When the
victim of this practical joke was made
aware of the deception, he talked OF
" having it over " in earnest, but we
presume lie has since thought better
Of it. He acted in good faith through
ont and shaved that he is made OF
better stuff than the jokers supposed
and now that he has smelt powder up
on the field of honor, it may not be
safe business to trihe with him here
after.

A SPECIAL despatch to the Chicasb
Inter Ocean, dated at Washington on the
23d inst, states that in an interview
concerning civil service reform, the
President said
1.-The Executive order was designed to
let faithful officers understand that their
first allegiance is to the government and
10 lis interests, and not to parties.
That is now very generally understood,
and as to contributing reasonable share
out of their incomes to meet the ex-
penses of a campaign, there can be no
objection to that. 1t cannot be demand
ed under pain of removal as hitherto.
Any officer may give or not as he pleases
without affecting his tenure of Office. l
expect to contribute my portion of cam
paign expenses, and there will be no OBJ
lection if Others. holding Office should do
the same. In fact, should be pleased
il. they would do. so. As to the personal
participation Of federal officers in a cam
paign, there can and will be no objection
to this, unless they are used to promote
the personal interests of individuals
through the manipulation of patronage
and the management of party machine
~. Ofice-holders ought not to interfere
SO As to override the wishes of the peo-
pie and subject Republicans to the alter.
native of voting for obnoxious candi-
dates or submitting to party defeats. The
order forbidding officers of the govern
ment from participating in this sort of
thing will be vigorously enforced, but
after candidates are fairly in the field.
without the sid of conventions packed
with ofice-holders, acting at the beck of
a dominant clique of politicians, there
will be no objection if Federal office
holders do their share of the work, 30
long as it does not interfere with Official
duties.
