The Labor Strike.

From private letter to the publisher
of this paper we extract the following,
concerning the labor strikes on the
Coast. 1t is dated in Ascension parish,
and says:
''The labor strike, which began in St.
Charles parish, a short time ago, has
broke out in St. John and St. James
parishes, and l have learned that one
has been organized on tie opposite side
Of the river from us,in this parish, to take
place next Monday, the 18th. l have
heard no hints of it among our hands,
nor on this side of the rivcr-west.
"Should the strike become general it
will be damaging at first, but it GER
tainly cannot last long, as they have 10
place to 60 and no means to live except
by theft and robbery. The only trouble
to be apprehended is that in their clamor
and excitement they may be led into
crime and destruction of property. In
this event it will require some whole
some application in military shape.
"All the darkies, however, will not en-
ter into such move, but the peaceable
class who may be willing to be work at
fair wages, may be intimidated and pre-
vented by the violence of the more des-
perate and determined characters.
Higher wages would be ruinous to the
planters, especially if we have a wet
year, and the matter should be handled
with the utmost firmness."

WAN-SCHMIDT-O Saturday. April Sd,
1880, at the st. Theresa's Church, New Orleans,
by Rev. Father Maisadier, Mr. ANTHONY
WAX, of Baton Rouge to Miss LOUISE
SCHMIDT, of this city.
From the last issue of the n. O .Sunday
Times we culled the above item of news.
showing how our young friend almost
snrreptiously stole a march on us, to
fall victim to the charms of one of
New Orleans lovely daughters. Under
the circumstances we cheerfully excuse
him. For a soldier to falter on the battle
field is everlasting disgrace, but it will
ever be thus to the end of time for gal
liant men to surrender before loves altar.
In yielding thus our good friend has
gained prize more precious to him
than all the gold contained in Califor.
MAS laines. May God bless this happy
union of two loving hearts, is our CAP.
ITOLIAN wish.
Since writing the above, the happy
couple made known their arrival in
Baton Rouge, by sending us souvenir
of kr'g and cake, which drove away
the clouds obscuring the sun at that
moment and gladdened the hearts OF
the CAPITOLlAN brotherhood, who in
unison drank to the everlasting happi-
ness OF the young couple in acknowl'
edgm Mt oftheir very kind remembrance.

M. i. Williams.

This cnterprising manufacturer, on
last Monday, shipped to the Won Phul
plantation, in this parish, one of the
most complete steam trains to be seen
anywhere, all of which is the product
of his extensive workshops, situated OH
Front street, near the Ferry Landing.
Mr.. Williams is fully prepared to com
pete successfully with any other manu-
tacturcr, either in New Orleans or else
where, in the line Of strike pans, steam
trains, boilers, and all other appurte-
nances belonging to the manufacture OF
sugar. His facilities for obtaining ma
terial by way Of the Mississippi are I'M
surpassed. AS he is not subjected to
the heavy expenses that his competitors
have to encounter in y large city, he
can turn out all such work at lower
figures than they can offer. Therefore
planters will do well to remember that
Baton Rouge offers, through Mr.. Will
liams, advantages uneXccllcd by other
localities.

Baton Rouge is evidently looming up
at last, and will ere long become one OF
the handsomest and most thriving towns
in the South. On I'LL sides improve
meptS are visible. Our Courthouse,
that u few months sgo seemed a crnm-
bling ruin, is now one of the most styl-
ish and neatest looking buildings of the
kind in the State. The engine house Of
Independence Fire Company No. 2 is a
freshly painted, cosy little structure,
while that of Washington Steam Fire
Company No. is also in as creditable a
condition. Several neat buildings have
been erected of late, with general dis
position to 90 ahead all along the line.
Near the Capitol Mr.. Andrew Jackson,
the Main street cotton buyer and enter
prising merchant, is having the pretty
two-story residence, formerly occupied
by Mr.. James McVay, repaired and
bcantifed to such an extent that, with
new sidewalks, cementcd cutters and
bridges Ill around, new fencing, etc,
it promises to become one of the most
complete properties in our city.

A Wcalx-Knecd Brother,

While the editor of this paper was
attending to his candidacy for Mayor at
the polls, last Monday, Confrere Shanks,
of Me Iberville South, was honoring onr
sanctum with his presence-so we heard
on the following day. Up to this mo-
ment we believed him to be an nnterri-
fled Democrat. We doubt it now. There
were two polls open, many names regis
tered, without any one present to answer
therefOr-and Bro Shanks was here, our
friend-now! Can't you all understand ?
But he didn't-have the Democratic
sand in his craw to do it. Of course, we
didn't expect his boon companion from
across the river to come to the rescue.
because everybody, big and little, in
Baton Rouge knows him to be Harry
Hyams by name, and most any commits
sioner would pounce upon him if he ask
cd to vote as John Smith.

Thirteen dollars and sixty cents was
the total amount of the cost Of maintain
ing the prisoners sent to the Jail by the
city of Baton Rouge during the month
of March, 1880. We defy any other city
of eight thousand inhabitants to present
such an evidence as the pew Capital
of Louisiana as a law-abiding commu-
nifty. Let the Northern bloody shirt
wovers make note of the fact that in
the old buldoozing section Of our State
during the Radical regime, is a town
where eight or ten policemen were need

fully to keep the peace, while II zee only

tration are all-sufficient to give entire

An Enjoyable Affair.

On Friday, I'd inst, brilliant Hop
was given at the University by the Lou
isiana Cadets Despite the inclement
state of the weather, there was q large
gathering Of the fairest Of Baton Rouge's
daughters, besides many Others from
abroad, who, in the brilliantly illumi-
mated hall, danced to the music Of Pages
excellent orchestra.
We will not attempt to describe the
toilette nor the appearance Of this or
that lady, but will be content in saying
merely that there were bellies there who
would grace and attract attention in
any parlor. TO the amateur Of beauty
and elegance-and who is not there
were sweet charmers present whose
lovely faces would set one to dreaming
during the nights Of six consecutive
months, without saying anything abont
the wide awake thinking during the
idle moments of the day time.
The Cadet managers, and Coi. Boyd,
were all attention to their guests, who
will certainly mark down Oh memory's
tablet this very successful and highly
pleasureable occasion. The University
Chops" are acquiring that deserved rep.
utation that ere long will attract
visitors from every portion Of the State.

tend another.
