Tho CHIEF Office was honored with 4
visit, Tuesday afternoon, from Messrs. J.
L. Gaudet and Simon Klotz of St. James
parish, right bank, who came to Donald
sonville to attend the wedding Of Mr..
Simon Moyse aud their fair parishoner,
Miss Flora Joseph. Mr.. S. Bloch of We'll
come store, Assumption, also called the
same evening, and we were glad to see
each member of the agreeable trio.
1t appears that the Clark plantation
which has long borne the title of boss of
the Burnside places in the fifth ward, by
reason of its sugar crop annually exceed
ing those of its neighbo1s, was beaten in
this respect, last season, by the Orange
Grove. The crop of the Clark place was
6& hogsheads, while the Orange Grove
produced a total of 600. A pair of ant
lers had been placed on the vacuum pan
in the Clark sugar-house, surmounted by
the legend "Come and take Them and
ornamented with the inevitable blue rib
bon; and when deputation from
Orange Grove responded to the invita-
ton to come and take them, manager
Tucker gave up the horns with good
grace, doubtless resolving inwardly that
they should be recaptured next season if
hard work and circumspect management
could accomplish the task

The commissions for the various Off
Gals elected in this parish last Novem-
Der have been receiyed from the execu-
tive department and are now in the GUS
tody Of the Clerk Of the Court, ready for
delivery. Parties interested will take
notice and govern themselves according
". We believe most the local officers,
in order he on the safe side, have de-
ciaed to qualify under existing laws
that is, within thirty days after the Off
cial promulgation of their election
although they will not take possession
until April, and in order to come within
this limit, the qualification must take
place before the 3rd of February. In
some instances, and certainly with re-
gard to the Clerk Of ConEt. new bonds
will be prescribed by the General AS
sembly, and the ceremony Of qualifying
will have to be repeated in such cases,
but the officers elect consider it better to
have some surplnsage. than to run the
risk of impai,ing their status by fail
ure to comply strictly with the letter and
spirit Of all laws bearing upon the sub
ject.

THE STAR ALLIANCE OPERA CoMPA-
SY.-Friday night, January 8, the Star
Alliance Opera Company gave a per
formance in Donaldsonville, at the hall
of Ascension Hook and Ladder Company.
The play rendered was Mauritania" or
the Gypsy and the King. They played
to a crowded Aouse, and so charmingly
and satisfactorily was the piece per-
formed that it elected peal after peal of
applause. Their first appearance having
met with such universal appreciation and
admiration, the management concluded
to play again on the night following.
On this night the much admired opera
Of " Pinafore" was performed, and as on
the previous night, the troupe acquitted
themselves in the most creditable and
praiseworthy manner. After the second
nights performance, at the earnest and
pressing request Of some Of orr most
prominent citizens, they concluded to
remain another night to amnse and en-
terrain our appreciative population; and,
notwithstanding we had somewhat of a
shower just before dark, and the weather
looked gloomy and threatening, when
this writer entered the hall he found it
filled to its utmost capacity. On this oc
casion the troupe lost none Of the repu-
tation it had established on the pre-
vious evenings. but, if any thing, went
far toward increasing and enhancing it;
and, we verify believe, if they had re-
manned here for q week, they would have
had crowded house every night. This
company is we'll, justly and truly emit
tied to the cognomen Of the Star Ali
ance Company" for every member of it
performs his or her respective parts with
ease, grace and precision, and i'll the
most eenteel, proper and deeorons man
ner. It is first claes troupe, and the
most fastidious and exacting individual
may witness their performances with the
assurance that nothing will ever be said
or done by any member of the company
that viii, in the slightest imaginary
manner. shock their tender seMsibi1ities.

TChicago Daily Telegraph, 14th.
The following interview is vouched for by
this paper, and is only used because the lady
from whom the facts were obtained gave her
consent reluctantly.
Coming from fashionable church yesterday
representative of this paper was invited to a
seat in a conveyance the property of one of
Chicagos princes on Calumet avenue. As the
spirited team pulled away from the edifice of
worship, and turned south, the occupants OF
the clarence having discussed the merits of
the sermon, turned to the all-absorbiug topic
the late Republican convention and its nom
inees.
sit is great pity" said the merchant, 'that
Grant was defeated in the convention"
To this the reporter assented.
"But l am in earnest in my regrets" said
the merchant, while yours arise from policy"
At this Mrs. -, very intelligent, cult
vated lady, spoke up:
'"Hhey will not defeat Gen. Grant in 1884. u
"Will he be candidate then?' queried the
reporter.
'He will, if he is alive" she said in know.

"Your wife, replied the lady, with some
emphasis on the first word, knows whereof
she speaks. She is not a politician, but she
knows what language means when she hears
it,
''Ah, ha,' said the merchant $50 you have
been in the secret chambers, 1 take it?"
81 have not been in any secret chambers, but
1 was present with Mrs. Logan and other ladies
OH the morning of the arrival of Gen. Grant
aud family, after the nomination, en- route te
Milwaukee"
The reporter attempted to look unconcerned
for, with respect to the fair sex, they are mos
communicative when men appear least inter
ested. However, he lost some of his policy
and rem arked that Gen. Grant would never bt
candidate again.
"But he will, responded the lady quickly.
''That's your opinion" said her husband.
my opinion is pretty well founded, she re
marked.
After some preliminary remarks the lady
said:
81 was with Mrs. Gen. Logan after she hac
seen Mrs. Grant, and after she talked with he

that Mrs. Grant was very much disappointed

| Gen. Logan and others said in 1854 the Repub

reporter.

CHICAGO, June 18.-Csbles lower ON spot,

opened lower with sales at 9211 e, and advanced,
under free bidding, to $3.50. At this point
the offerings were large and rumors were cirou-
lated that oargoes off coast were quoted shil-
ling lower by private cables This started the
price on the down grade, selling rapidly to
9lXc. This lasted for moment only and the
reaction was as sharp as had been the decline,
on reports received that it had been storming
in the Northwest, July selling the second time
at 9314c, and closing with the advance lost at
&c for July and 85c for August. This last de-
cline was on reports that a million of cash was
to be delivered on the June option tomorrow.
Hope twill be- for the outsiders want all and
it will be on the way to consumers before Mon

Corn active; shipping and speculative de-
mand steady at 3614 for July; $500 August.
