A burning shame.

Read the article entitled "The Water
loo Packet" to be found in another col
umn, which we copy from the Baton
Rouge CAPIToLIAN.
1t would seem from this article that
the people of Baton Rouge are awaking
to the importance of this movement and
are in earnest about it; and they are
right to, for there is money IN 1t. We
appreciate fully what the CAplroLIAN
says about the New Orleans steamers;
for on our recent visit to Baton Rouge
we paid three dollars passage OH the
John w. Cannon from Waterloo, max
ing the trip in two hours; returning, we
paid three dollars Oh the Corona, and
made the trip in twelve hours.-Pointe
Coupee Banner.
The above indicates how heartily the
Pointe Coupee people would second and
materially aid the proposed Waterloo
packet, and consequently how impor-
tant it is to the business interests of
Baton Rouge. Our merchants have
the margin to sell all classes of goods as
cheap as those of any Western Or South
ern city, and this is the opportune mo-
ment for active, business-ike work.
There is no Use denying the fact that if
those who are engaged in business here
failed to act, they will, in time, be
crowded out by others Of u more enter
prising and business character. The
opening is here, and men with half an
eye to mercantile advantages cannot
fail to see it. Now. in the name of COM
mon sense. let there be no "littlencSs,"
but one and all rise up to the work Of
the hour. Business is business. 1t is
tallacy to say that only one section, or
two or three sections Of the town will
be benefited, for such is not the case.
A business of this kind cannot be partial
III its results. The farmer or retail nIer-
chant who resolves to adopt this as a
medium of business communication with
Baton Rouge will give his trade to the
merchant with whom he can make the
best terms, and will stop ut the hotel
where he receives the best accommodate
tions, and he will ship his cotton, moss,
etc, accordingly. Start the Carl Schun
without delay. We want no more three
dollar trips to coast points that lay
within u few miles Of us.
We want cheap medium of freight
and passenger transportation that affords
oil an equal chance-that will enable
the small farmer to come to this city
and buy his supplies as cheap as the
lOrdly dealers who bleed him of bis life
giving substance.
Yes, gentlemen, our business field has
widencd, and new system must be
adopted or somebody will be left out in
tho cold.

The NatchitOchcs Vindicator wants Il
committee of fOur-twO from the city

ing taken as to the time and place. The

Mississippi Military Institute.

We were pleased to have call yes
tertlay from that distinguished instruc-
tor, Col. 4. H. Murfee, Superintendent
of the Mississippi Military University,
located at Pass Christian, an ADVERTISE
ment of which will be found in this
issue. The Colonel is travelling in the
interest of his excellent University, and,
as he informed us, desires to secure the
attendance Of the young men i'll this
State, whose parents think best to send
children away from home to receive
their education. This institution of
learning, though comparatively young,
is, on account of it's superior manage
meYt. growing rapidly into public favor.
At 2e last session there was a tirst-rate
attendance, and he expects a much
larger one the approaching scholastic
year. One of the prime features which
recommend the institution to parents
and guardians is the simplicity with
which scholars are taught and the care
that is exercised in regard to their NOR
ais. Then again the mind of the stu
dent is regarded as an "active agent
which is to be trained, not "crammed"
by the instructors. Facts and principles
are clucidatcd by the student on the
rostrum and the black-boarl The in-
structor takes the place of q party re-
cciving information, asks questions ne
cessary to draw out principles not clear
ly explained by the student. Thus the
faculty of demonstration is daily prac-
ticed, and, of course, the logic of the
subject well inculcated. In addition to
this, practical examples from texts are
required. The student is encouraged by
special rewards to bring to the class
room original problems. A system of
Seff-eXamnati0h Is thus impaired, SO
that the student may not only learn
how to study but to test his knowledge
before coming into the classroom.
Should he find himself deficient, he can
produce the assistance of Il member of
the faculty. While all students are
urged to overcome difficulties by their
efforts, the officers of the institution are
ready to tender their aid when neces-
sary, in such way rs to be most con-
duciye to mental training.
Those who desire further information
can obtain the same by sending to the
institution for catalogue.

Godey's Lady's Book for September is
q number full of attraction for those
who, returning from seaside and noun
tain, find their pretty crisp dresses and
tincry of two months ago Il faded, torn
array of records of boating, climbing,
crouuet, and summer pleasure. The
pages are full of suggestive matter for Il
novel and becoming fall wardrobe, and
the illustrations are accompanied by
clear descriptions. One costume for the
house and one for walking arc especially
attractive, and the diagram gives the
outlines of a stylish fall wrap very easily
cut and made. Darley's picture is q
home scene, and the artist is never 80
attractive as in such domestic groups.
1t is tender, peaceful scene that will
appeal to all hearts. The literary mat
ter is full of interest; the story of eros
lyn's Fortune" followed for months
with pleasure. now draws the intense
interest of every reader towards its con-
clusion. There is great variety Of ell
tertaining stories and poems, and every
department is fully up to its usual stand
ard of excellence.

The young folks of our city had an

Harry Gonld, of the Livingstonian, is
sorry that DR.. Tanner did not starvc

"What did the Puritans come to this
country for!' asked a Massachusetts
teacher of his class. "TO worship in

crat. 1t is now a very handsome seven

Eice-Consul Machct and our genial
friend Mr. Charles Week have returned

We will, in week or two, commence
writing up our advertisers. Liberal
notices, written in manner commen-
suratc with the business of those repre-
sented, will be published in a hand
some and attractive form, as in case of
last fall. We feel that this is nothing
more than what is due our business
men and will, we believe, be Il great ad-
vantage to them. Our merchants can,
and do, sell goods as cheap as any other
city in this country, and our object is
mainly to inform farmers and retail
merchants of the fact, SO us to induce
them to give Baton Rouge a trial during
tie fall trade, which is opening so prom
isingly.

"Would you mind standing here till

course not" she replied, 'but don't you
think, Henry, that smoking is offensive,
and that it will be- easier practicing

ticcd during courtship' "You are
right" he said; 81 shan't smoke any
more, sweet and she looked unuttcra-
bic love at him as they resumed their
stroll. Just then they came to an ice
cream saloon, and he said: "Thcrc,
now, meant to treat you to ice cream,
but, as you say, it is best to practice
economy during courtship. Ten cents
for a cigar, thirty cents for two ice
creams-torty cents saved in a single
night. Let's 90 over to the fountain

Our talented friend, Prof. J. W. Mich

from his summer jaunt to his home ia
North Louisiana. He called in to see
us yesterday, and gave an interesting
account of the pleasures he realized i'll
the willwoods and on the creek banks
of the classic parish of Claiborne. We
are inclined to the belief that he has
had a delightful time, as his appearance
indicates health, flesh and buoyant spir-

ored post of professor of mathematics in
