These boots had constant wear through April and May, and since that time they have been worn every morning through the dew to get the cows and do their milking in, and I have seen four pair oi them. and they are ap- parently as good as when I sold them. Milk whey and dew on rubber boot, or any other boot, for six months, are as good tests as can be had. The pair of '.95" boots sent me March IF, put on farmer who is one of my hard est customers. They have not cracked at all but the one marked s. c. on front of leg, has worn through the first layer of the sole. Yours, in haste,

old Flower Seeds.

Most flower seeds arc good for more than one year. Asters, stocks and some other sorts are worthless the second sea- son. Of a large mum Der of varieties, portion will germinate the second year, but not very high percentage; such are phlox, yerbena and many others. Seeds saved in favorable season, and properly dried, will, of course, remain good longer than those saved in an un- favorable year, or carelessly cured. As arule, round seeds are good longer than thin, flat ones, and many of the smallest are good as long as any. Old halsam seeds are generally acknowledged to be better than new. Last summer, in the garden of an old German lady, saw some flowers from seeds brought from the old country sixteen years before She had petunias, portulaca and gourds ---J. B. Root.

Third Congressional District.

~ ~ AAttkA~
n,ittee-A Nominating Convention
Called 70 Meet It Tllibodanx
"Wednesday, Augusta.
The Republican executive committee
Of the Third Congressional District met
at Whitney Hal, Morgan City, on Thurs
day, the LIST inst, pursuant to the call Of
its chairman, Hon. Theo. Fontelieu, all
the members but one present in person
or represented by proxy. After the call
ing of the roll and presentation Of prox-
les, the committee proceeded to the con-
sideration of the business for which il
had convened viz action on the decli-
nation Of Judge Taylor Beattie as a can
didate for Congress and such other mat
ters as might properly come within the
province of district committee.
Judge Beattie's letter Of declination
was read, and Mr.. Drury of Assumption
neyed to lay it on the table subject to
call. The proposition elected a lengthy
debate, which was participated in by
Messrs. Allan and Davidson of Iberyille,
Marks and Bentley Of Ascension, Drury
Of Assumption, Crosier of Terrebonne,
Darrall and Jackson of st. Mary, Mer-
chant of Iberia and Martinez of st. Mar
tin. A vote being taken, the motion
was adopted by Is yeas to Z nays.
After further general debate and the
reading Of a letter from Judge Beattie to
a member of the committee, Mr.. Merchant
moved to take the declination from the
table and accept it. The motion was
opposed and gave rise to more debate,
but was finally adopted by vote of -
yeas to 9 nays, several delegates from
Assumption and Lafourche voting in the
affirmative i'll pursuance of an UNDER
standing with other delegates that the
latter would favor Thibodaux as the
place for holding the district convention
in case the motion to accept the declina-
ton should be carried. The Assumption
and Lafourclle members referred to are
all decidedly favorable to the candidacy
Of Judge Beattie, and only consented to
make this swap" because they knew the
action of the district committee could
not bind the new district convention or
prevent the denomination of Mr.. Bcattie
by that body. Mr.. Allan moved to re-
consider the motion by which the decli-
nation was accepted and to lay his own
motion on the table. Several delegates
opposed the motion and Mr.. Allan with
drew it. The object of the proposition
as all versed in parliamentary law will
UNDERSTANDINGS to prevent a reconsid-
Grafton Of the vote accepting the decll-
nation of Judge Beattie.
Mr.. Allan moved that the president of
the committee be authorized and directed
to issue to the various Republican parish
executive committees of the Third Con-
gressional District q call for conven-
ton to nominate Congressman for the
Forty Seventh Congress on the first
Wednesday of August next, adopting the
same basis of representation as the late
Congressional convention held at the
city of New Orleans on the 25th of May

PUBLIC ScHOoLs.-The public schools
of this parish have been closed for the
usual summer vacation. This was rem
dered necessary at an earlier date than
is customary, by reason of the exhaustion
of the school fund and the improbability
of any considerable acquisition thereto
being available until late in the fall, on
account of the collection of taxes being
delayed until after the new assessment
roll is completed. There is no money to
pay the teachers for the last month of
the term, and indeed some of them failed
to get their warrants cashed for the pre-
ceding month, but we understand that
there is apportionment of the State
school fund due the parish of Ascension
that will nearly cover the balance COM
ing to our teachers. Treasurer Landry
has applied for the apportionment, but it
can not be drawn from the State treas
ury until Superintendent Fay returns to
New Orleans from Baton Rouge, which
he is expected to do within the next few
days.
It is to be hoped that our Police Jury
will make liberal provision for the sup
port of the public schools in levying the
tax for the current year, to compensate
for the decreased revenue which will be
apportioned among the parishes from the
State fund. The probability is that the
new assessment roll for this parish will
aggregate an amount nearly if not quite
double that of 1879, and the Jury will
thus be enabled to provide generously
for the public schools within their limit
of taxation.

BASE BALL.-The Burnside and Grass
hopper base bail clubs played an inter
esting match game OH the public square
last Sunday, which resulted in tie, each
club scoring thirty runs. Both mines
were short of several regular members,
whose places had to be filled by less ex-
pert players, and this fact, added to the
wild throwing of the better players, who
ard sadly out of practice, accounts for
the heavy score. The boys will soon get
their hands i'll again, however, and
when our two home clubs cross bats
hereafter, we may look for more skilful
play. Tie plucky Grasshoppers are de-
lighted at having tied the crack Burn
sides, and the latter have good reason to
look to their hard-won laurels, lest the
lively insects get away with them. In
last Sundays game the Grasshoppers led
the score up to the last inning when the
staying qualities of the Burnside nine,
which have characterized the club and
brought victory to its banner on many a
hard-fought diamond field, retrieved
what seemed hopeless contest and tied
the score. The Grasshoppers received
three "goose eggs THAT is, they failed
to score in three innings-while their
opponents escaped with one. The clubs
propose to have another bout on Sunday,
July 18, and the game will be awaited
with interest by all admirers of the
manly sport in this vicinity.
Sunday after next, the 18th instant, a
match game will be played between the
Hancock and Grasshopper clubs, on the
grounds Of the former, at Burnside's
Clark plantation, pursuant to challenge
extended by the Hancocks. The Han
cock is a new club, consisting mainly of
young men employed on the Burnside
places, and possesses material which,
with practice, will be able to cope with
any club in this neck of woods. Our
friend Henry c. Braud, ESQ.,, is secretary
Of the Hancocks; We have not learned
the names Of the other officers.
It is reported that a base ball club is
to be organized in Assumption parish at
an early day, and we hope the rumor
| will be verified. Both the Burnside and
| Grasshopper clubs would be delighted to
have an opportunity for contending with
| the crack ball-tossers Of our neighboring
parish again.
Can't the New River aud Iberville
boys arouse themselves and help to keep
the ball flying. And shall not the st.
| James clubs be heard from also!
