This young and cntcrprising citzon
iirst 'got into business by buckling on
his sword to do service for the Lost
Cause. Throughout the late unplcas-
antncss as faithful as a soldier rs he is
reliable rs q citizen and business man,
he fought his way to licutcnancy in
Capt. b. i. Bryan's company of East
Baton Rouge Cavalry. After the light
of the campfire had ceased to blaze, he
came back to our city esteemed BY all
"thc boys and manfully rolled up his
sleeves to earn living by the sweat of
his honest brow He had been endowed
with industrious qualities and an incli-
nation to do hard work, and everybody
knows how steadily he has pursued his
noble calling.
He opened store on Third street in
June, 1865, where he worked in Tin
Zinc, etc, added to which he kent y
stock of Stoves and other articles need
cd in the household. Fortune began to
1avor linn rs a reward for his industry
until, few years later, he removed his
business to tho two-story brick building
situated on the corner of Main and Fifth
streets. Since that time hi, ,ndustrv
has iiourlshed to such an extent that he
has established, at the corner of Front
and Main streets, near the river, several
buildings, which he occupies for manu-
featuring Boilers of all descriptions,
Steam Trains, Strike-P Pans, Tanks of all
sizes, Steam Pipes and Steam Fittings
of all kinds, and everything appertain-
Ing to Sugsr Mills, Cotton Gins, etc..
etc. At short notice he is prepared and
does all such work in complete and sat
lstactory manner and at prices that defy
competition. Having his manufacturing

ships and purchases Cotton, Sugar OF
any other country produce, having in
his immense fire-proof warehouses 125
by l2O feet, up and down stairs, q sto-
rage capacity Of unusual extent outside
of New Orleans.
His buildings arc filled with stock OF
every description, which he receives by
river direct from manufacturers, pack
crs and millcrs. He can therefore sell
at the very lowest market quotations.
In the office that quick and thorough
accountant, Mr.. Fred ID. Tunnard, su-
peryIscs the bookkeeping and the ac-
counts OF the house; this in the most
attentive and systematic manner The
steamboat business is in the experienced
hands of "CommOdorc" John Garvin,
who is the dc ,facto "!Rulcr of the whole
ndree." This fresh water tar has become
SO old in tho business that although he
is in the bloom of his manhood, it seems
to everybody that he's been there for
half q century.
For the sales department, Mr.. Garig
has reserved his "oldcst and best"
though le is by far the landsomest
young man in the establishment. Ex-
citing the jealousy OF the men by his
g5od looks, he excitcs the admira-
ton Of the ladies, who have on his &C
count influenced their male relatives to
do their trading at Garig's. Charley is
a "brick' any way you take him. AL
ways gay and festive, he cracks his
jokes with every one, and gots through
with moro business in day than
whole raft of Others put together. 1t is
almost unnecessary to say that we mean
Mr.. Charles Hubbs, when we speak of
"Charley,:" for everybody knows him.
AS his assistant, and "nying around"
generally,,is is Mr. Hart, who cannot fail
soon to learn all about the ways of the
establishment.
The standing and reputation of this
house for liberal and advantageous deal
ing to the customer is so widely known
that it would be futile for us to expatiate
further concerning its merits. New Gus
toners can soOn ascertain for themselves
by giving it fair trial.

This public spirited and cntcrprising
gentleman is an East Baton Rougcan.
Raised in the community in which he
has carved out q mammoth business, he
introduced himself to his fellow citizens
by answering among the first the call
for volunteers, made by. his State in
1861. As n private soldier he shouldcred
his mrskct in the Orleans Cadets,
Of Col. Charles d. Drcux's gallant in
fantry battalion. Until the expiration
of the term of service of this command
he followed it through tho marches of
the Peninsula, the siege of Yorktown
and tho retreat to Richmond of Marru
der's and Johnston's army. He after
wards took service as u Lieutenant of
tho 9th Battalion of Louisiana Cavalry,
and took his share of the bombshells
and bullets of Port Hudson, with it's
accompanying hardships of mule meat
and dry corn. Sharing the fate of his
comrades, he became the recipient of
that boasted Northern hospitality az
dispensed Mt Johnson's Island, Point
Lookout, Fort Mcllcury and Fort Della
ware. At the close of the "little mis-
understanding" between the North and
South, in 1862, he commenced business
on Florida street, near tho landing, as
steamboat agent. Soon after he added
merchandising to his occupation by
purchasing the four warehouses situated
on our River Front.
Since that time his trade has grown
to be one of the largest in the State.
Few men are possessed with his bust
ness tact, judgment and enterprise The
planters of st. Helena, Livingston, East
Fclciana, East and West Baton Rouge
and adjoining parishes deal largely with
him. Almost every steamboat line
transacts it's business through him. 1t
is difficult to approximate tho amount
and quantity of the mass of goods that
he receives and sells, such as Cane and
Road Wagons and Carts, Sugar Mills,
Hand and Steam, Bugges and Carriag-
cs, Cotton Gins and Presses, Bagging
and Ties, Sugar IIogsheads and Molass-
os Barrels, Hardware, SaddIcry, General

TIE CAPITAL GUN CLUB---On last
Monday evening we attended a practice
of this club. For the first time they
were experimenting with their new mole
trap, which throws the balls in every
conceivable direction. The result was
that our "shootsts" were somewhat
taken by surprise, and somo of them
flung their shot rather loosely, round
about. Well-somc of the guns were
too heavy, or too much powder was in
the cartridge, or not quite enough shot,
etc. Next time though, all these defects
will bo rectiiied, and glass balls will be
shiyore1, right and left. We append

A RemarkahIe COnspIracY.

A Raleigh dispatch says Mrs. Louisa
Pierce, white lady, was yesterday ar
rested near this city, brought here and
lodged in Jail on warrant charging her
with having murdered her two infant chill
dren by burning their bodies In the fire.
place of her house. The preliminary trial
held by Justice of the Peace this morn
tng resulted in the discharge of Mrs. Pierce
and the sending on to the Grand Jury of
three of the principal witnesses, charged
with conspiracy to deprive Mrs. Pierce of
liberty and with perjury. The facts are as
follows, and prove one of the most diabol-
zeal conspiracies on record
On the Both of May, Mrs Pierce gave
premature birth to twins. The children
were born dead and were placed in small
box for burial, but before they were buried
neighborhood gossip had charged that the
twins were born alive and the mother had
destroyed them by burning This coming
to the ears of the parents the box contain
ing the bodies was kept and at their request
number of persons inspected IT, Last
Thursday, it being supposed the slander
was refuted, the bodies were buried.
Yesterday warrant was sworn out by a
negro woman charging Mrs. Pierce with
murder. A box was brought here by the
officer making the arrest, which was sup
posed to have contained the bodies, but an
examination by medical experts developed
the fact that it contained the remains of a
chicken. One of the negro witnesses pro-
duoed charred bones, which she swore was
the carcass of one of the dead children, and
was taken from the fire in Pierce's house,
These bones were clearly proven to be those
of a cat. From the testimony it was evident
that the bodies of the children, as buried
by the father on Thursday, had been un-
earthed, the remains taken from the box
and replaced by those of a chicken
Three of the conspirators one negro
man and two negro women = are now in
Jail, and it is believed that others are in the
conspiracy and will be arrested.
Mrs. Pierce is Northern woman, hav-
ing moved here from New York several
years ago, and married William E. Pierce,
citizen of this county of good standing
and graduate of distinction of Yale Col
lege. Mrs. Pierce, being Northern lady,
and unused to Eegro labor, has been un-
able to get along with them as servants
hence the negroes in her neighborhood de-
spise her, aGd this is supposed to be the
,aniinssGS the conspiracy.

She Served Him Right.

Norman Spencer stole $17, 500 from the
Pennsylvania Oil Company, that employed
him as bookkeeper, and fled to the south
west The robbery was carefully planned,
and the thiefs intention was to take new
name, settle down as planter, and marry
the Titusville girl to whom he had long
been engaged. She knew all about this
scheme, and was to join him as soon as
practicable. A detective was set to watch
her, and when she started westward, after
receiving mysterious letter, he guessed
she meant to join her lover. He sha dowed
her on her journey SO closely that she be-
came aware of his watching. At Quincy,
ILL.,, she hired woman of about her own
size and shape to put on her travelling suit,
cover her face with veil, and go to Chi
cago. The detective unsuspectingly fol-
lowed the wrong woman, while the real
one went on to meet the fugitive thief
Meanwhile Spencer had bought planta-
ton near Galveston, Texas and fallen in
love with neighbours daughter. Desir-
ing to marry her, he wrote to the Titus
vile girl at point on her journey that she
need not come to him. The Titusvile girl
was as quick at revenge as she had been at
deceiving the detective. She at once in
formed the police where Spencer was, and
he has been arrested
