Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1881-03-15

Rouge shall not form a centre for the
establishment of stores which, might
do injury to the trade oftliis city; and
lastly. they aid in furnishing q roll
transportation to the State Capital, TO
the people of Northern and Southern
Louisiana. They also establish a
competition with the river steamers
whereby our citizens will have tray
cling facilities ut q greatly reduced
rate.
These are few of the advantages
and considerations which prompted
the comforting citizens to act prompt
ly, relying upon the public spirit and
good Judgment Of the community to
sustain and share the obligations of
the agreement.
We doubt not that every one OF our
merchants and property holders, will
view the matter in its proper light
and subscribe literally to make good
the obligation assumed.
From this moment, the positive in
formation goes out to the world that
Baton Rouge will soon be placed in
rail communication with New Orleans,
OH one side and with North Louisiana,
Texas, thence with st. Louis and the
entire railway system Of the United
States.
We sincerely believe that an era OF
great prosperity is dawning at last
upon our community, which requires
but the liberalty and enterprisine
spirit of its members to make Eaton
Rouge, within q few years, an inland
city, which in point of beauty of loca.
ton, thrift and wealth, will have but
few rivals in the Southern country.

One of the most eccentric old ladies in
Europe died the other day at her resil-
ence, in the Stulnncr Strassc, Berlin,
where she had lived in all but absolute
reclusion for nearly half u century, a
solitary female servant having been the
only human being with whom she had
held any personal communication tor
moro than thirty years. She was well
off, and denied herself no luxury III the
way of eating and drinking; but would
never permit her apartments to he
swept. or her furniture to be cleanscd,
SO that upon entering her dwelling after
| her death, the police authorities found
everything Within them, except the
kitchen utensils, covered with layers of
venerable dust, from TIVE to four inches
thick. For many years she had worn
no linen or any other body garment but
a mans duffel dressing gown. 1t was
her custom to wear boot on one foot
and shoe on the other, and she never
took of her gloves. day or night, en-
cept to change them for new ones, when
fairly worn out. healways passed the
daylight hours in bed, rising late in the
evening and occupying her nights with
cooking sumptuous meals for herself and
her companion, making Il point OF fin
islling her lepast before dawn. She
Z kept great many dogs, cats and birds,
and caused every new work on zoology
. to be purchased for her as soon as it
r came out. In this strange fashion she
, lived to the age OF eightytwo Hell

handsome legacy to her faithful old ser

A NAVAL DEPOT AND YARD.

In the report Of the interview with
Senator Il. L. Gibson, which is con-
tanned in the Sunday Democrat, that
gentleman speaks Of the establish
ment Of a Navy Yard at Algiers,
where the docks are situated in the
open river and fully exposed to the
storms which frequently render the
Mississippi anything but a placid
stream.
The establishment of n Naval De-
pot and Yard on the lower Mississ-
ippi, the outlet Of the very heart of
the Union it is undoubtedly IN abso-
lutte necessity. TO locateit though, on
the open shores of the great river and
in the lowlands Of Louisiana, is a very
great mistake, when it is considered
that just one hundred and thirty miles
above New Orleans, where the river
is navigable for the largest vessels
at all seasons Of the year, there are
situated on the highlands, on beau
tiful and healthy site, number Of
costly barracks and magazines, which
are now unoccupied.
These buildings can accommodate
thousand men, and contain all the
ammunition and materials to supply
the largest squadron. Hundreds Of
thousands of dollars have been spent
by the Government in constructing
them. Why, then, condemn these to
decay, while large sums are expended
to erect others in another site.
Adjacent to the L. S. grounds at
Baton Rouge, is IN indcntation broad
enough to harbor fleet, which, by an
expenditure comparatively small,
could be made land locked basin,
entirely sheltered from the storms OF
the Mississippi, and. ifneed be, could
be rendered so dcfensible us to make
it IN impregnablc retreat for any
vessels harbored there in time of war
= 1t was but Yesterday that one OF
our coal men told us that were he
the possessor of that natural basin he
would make it the harbor for the sup.
ply of the lower Mississippi, and gain
thereby, an immense fortune.
1t is worth the while of the Secre.
tary of War to send an officer to in
spect the U. S. g.ounds at Batol
Rouge aud the convcnientlIarbor ant
basin which nature has created OF
its North side.
| Pensacola is the only naval dcpo
on the Gulf coast; one that wOul'
have to be supplied by the railroad
in time Of war.
Why not establish the safest an
finest ship yard in the world, wher
, nature has done nine tenths of til
work, in the safest and most &C
cessible point in the valley Of til
Mississippi, at Baton Rouge?

ASSASSINATION OF THE GEAR.

LONDON, MARCH lo--hcUIef oI.
Petersburg correspondence says the
Imperial carriage was attacked on
Ekatrienofsky Canal, opposite the I'm
perial stables, while the Emperor was
returning with the Grand Duke Mi
chael from Michael Palace in a closed
carriage, escorted by eight Cossacks.
The first bomb fell near the carriage,
destroying the back part of it. The
Gear and his brother aliglted unin-
jured.
The assassin, on being seized by a
colonel of the police, drew a revolver
but was prevented from firing 1t. A
second bomb was then thrown by an
other person, and fell close to the
Cars feet. its explosion SCATTERING
both his legs. The Car fell, crying
for help. Col. Dorjibky, though him
self much injured, raised the Emperor,
who was conveyed to the Winter
Palace in Col. Dofjibky's sleigh.
Large crowds assembled before the
Palace, but were kept back by the
troop of Cossacks. The imperial
family were all assembled at the death
bed. The Council of State was i'm
mediately convened. All places of
public resort are closed,
Two assassins of the Gar were i'm
mediately arrested. The glasses of
the gas lamps in Michael Garden. be-
side the canal, were broken in pieces
by the conclusion of the explosion.
A Gordon Of guards was drawn
around the scene of the murder. The
streets are densely throngcd with ex-
| cited crowds. The utmost sympathy
for the imperial family is everywhere
expressed. The bells Of the princi'
pal churches are tolliHg.

man life and feel compassion for th'
near relatives of the man-victim, w
