LILLE FOURTH OF y uLN EXCURSION, trop
Orange to Lake Charles, by rail, given
by the Orange Rifles, was a grand af
fair. The excursionists, men women
and children, numbered over three
hundred, and were accompanied by
the Orange brass band, which dis
coursed some excellent music. The
reception committee received our visit
ors at West Lake Charles, and accom-.
lpanied them to town, across orr beau
tiful lake, on two large railroad barges,
towed by the powerful railroad tug
Alert, under the command and direc-
ton Of Capt. Thos. II. Reynolds, and
his son Fred. Reynolds, to whom the
reception committee are under special
obligations for courtesies shown during
the trip across the lake. Capt. Rey-
nolds generously offered to tow the
exeursionists around the entire lake,
but there was scarcely time to spare
for that purpose.
After the visiting ladies had rested
while in town, everybody repaired to
grove near the German church, where
dinner had been prepared for the oc-
casion. Here, after brief address of
welcome, by Geo.. II. Wells, ESQ.,, of
Lake Charles, responded to by J. w.
L. Johnson, Esq, of Orange, preceded
and followed by appropriate music by
the band Capt. ]. w. Bryan intro
ducing the speakers, and announcing
the order of exercises, our guests first,
and then our citizens, partook of a
bountiful repast. Besides an abund-
ance of provisions prepared in town, a
large quantity of barbecued meats had
been prepared on the ground in first
class style. and it is highly creditable
to our committee of arrangements that
although fully five hundred persons
were at the table there was enough for
everybody, and an unusually large and
tempting variety of eatables.
The excursionists included so many
of the most prominent business men of
Orange, it is impossible for us to recall
all their names, but editorial courtesy
will excuse our special mention of Bros.
Harris and Kellie of the Orange Tri-
bune, so well known as one Of the very
best among the host of excellent Texas
weeklies. The Orange Rifles are not
yet uniformed, but are fine lookingf
body Of citizen soldiery, and attracted
much attention. OF our own local So
cieties, our Fire Company, German Be
nevolent Association, and temperance
Council, were in uniform and regalia.
There was a considerable display of
bunting in town and on the lake, in
honor Of independence day and of our
visitors, and high above it all foated
the stars and shipesat the top of the
gigantic liberty pole erected iu front
of the post-ofiice by our enterprising
postmaster WIN. d. Mearns, Esq.
The weather was pleasant, and our
visitors seemed pleased with their visit. |
There was some lack of that systematic
arrangement of details necessary to the
perfect comfort of SO large body of |
visitors, but our citizens welcomed and
entertained their guests cordially, and |
we feel sure that their liberality and |
courtesy in this instance were and will |
be highly appreciated, and that the ex-
cursion will tend greatly to strengthen
the good feeling previously existing
between the people Of Orange and
Lake Charles. 4

eighteen of the Aplps who partici-
pated in the attack on the princes
party, and showing that the attack.
ing party numbered forty, twelve of
whom followed the prince, and eight
being Immediately concerned in his
death. The Zulus having nearly
surrounded the princes party, fired
and rushed on them as they were
mounting. The prince, not having
succeeded in mounting, ran alongalde
of his horse until he broke away. The
PRINCE followed the horse into donRa.
until, being closely pressed by his par.
suerE, he turned upon them, in the
words Of the Zulus, "lika n lion at

at the nearest opponent, who fed.
Another Zulu then fired at
the prince, when only ten yards

creasing foes, until menanced from
his right and rear, and struck by an
other assegai, he reGained the level on
which he had first stood in the donga.
where he was speedily surrounded.
He seized an assegai which had been
thrown at him. In struggling with
his terrified horse his swordha fallen

Chicago Times Long Branch LeiteE.l
Allow me to inquire here, paren.
thetically, how it happens that the
queen Of Egypt has come to be regard
ed as an example of extreme moon
staBey. She has been grossly mis-
represented. History tells US that
she was married TO her brother, Pto-
lemy Kill, by the will of her
father after her death. The union
was merely an arrangement Of
state; had no binding force, and was
not, probably, ever consummated. As
the couple we're minors, Pompey was
appointed their guardian, and it has
been intimateq that he was her lover.
There was 20 authority whichever for
this indeed, everything points 10 the
contrary. lie was not merely Ohaste,
he was almost ~passlonless, as
Cicero has testified, When CaNsa-
nau invade" une country, and
Pompey had been murdered, he was
fascinated by her end she became
his mistress, more from love than in
terest. Then, in order to give weight
to her sovereignty, she was given in
marriage to her second brother, a
child of seven years-her other
brother, Ptolemy XII, having been
drowned-and the foremost maj OF
all the world lived with her until he
returned to Rome, carrying with
him the woman who was the most
splendid part Of his splendid conquest.
When he went to his last campaign in
Hispania, she saw him for the last
time.
AZ Anteny's meeting with her,
Cesar had been dead nine years so
that her relation to him was no dis,
loyalty to her former protector. They
we're the only men of whom
she ever pretended to be fond,
aud she was devoted to them
in mind. heart and soul. The
opinion hat she accepted Augustus
lOctavius) Caesar has no basis. Shak
speare gives this impression, but
merely as a poetic license. Cleopatra
therefore, instead of being an incarna,
ton of ~disloyalty, was a model of 10y.
atty, especially for that time.

San Francisco Call, Washington letter.
Since Venus arose from the waters,
arrayed in the opal garments of I'm.
dinian sea-foam, there has been no
lovelier goddess than a Washington
beauty swaythed in her cobwebs on a
summers night. Yonder goes one
fitting past my window as the crepus,
culous shades warn her the day is dead
and the pail of mourning will soon
enshroud this orange. tinted sky.
A gentle breeze Is stirring, and
this, with her rapid step. causes
her heecy drapery to float back
wards, disclosing tiny slippered
feet, from which the pink-silk clad
ankle springs, delicate, thoroughbred,
a model for q study Of a Nubian
dancing girl. From the tip of her
toe to the golden curl that hutters on
her brow she is nothing short of a
painters dream. Nay, G in this
light. she is too intangible even for
painting; she seems but a fgment Of
the optic, like a mirage, like a rain
bow. Ola verify ! sometimes wonder
that men are not afraid TO clasp with
in gross earthly arms such frail and
fine beings at this, with never a sus-
picion that beauty so exquisite may
perchance vanish with attrition. as
the butteray's wing loses its glories
under the red fingers Of a truant boy.

REPLY TO al DRIVER.

EDITOR LEDGER-The writer Of
the article over Enquirer" disclaim:
any intention of casting a reflection
upon the street car drivers as a class,
or because he is q driver, and they
will find no one more eager to cham
pion their cause. should they have
any, or to acknowledge their claims to
humanity when Justly merited.
There has been however numerous
instances of individual cases where
brutal insults have been offered un-
offending patrons of the company.
when DO good excuse could be offered
for the same.
In some instances they may have
arisen from Ignorance in constituting
the eOwpany's orders, but the greater
number OF them can be traced to the
beligerent disposition ofthe offender,
melted by the same stand of whisky.
Numerous instances to evidence these
facts are net wanting.
The object of the article was not to
make wal upon the driver, but BOre
an attack upon the present system Of
the company in collecting their fare.
Should the company be forced to
change their system to the one sug-
gested by the a%-ticle, no class would
Be more benefited tar the worthy
and eoGpetent driver. His e9per-
fence should make him a frst-class
conductor. "ENQUIRER.
