Shreveport Standard In short con-
versaton with Major B. FL. Greene, who
has just returned from New Orleans,
we learned that work on the New Or
leans Pacific was progressing favorably.
Eight hundred tons of rails have al
ready arrived at Alexandria, and more
will be pushed forward as rapidly as
possible. The road has been reinforced
with laborers all along the line, and
track-laying will be commenced from
four different points, thereby assuring
the completion of the road through to
New Orleans by at least the first Of Sep.
TENDER. An engine and some cars will
be shipped to Alexandria by steamer
next Saturday to be employed in track
laying.

The Methodist Missionary Society.

We had the pleasure Of attending on
last Friday night, the entertainment
at the Methodist church, given by the
Woman's Missionary.Society. Nearly ev-
cry seat in the church was filled, the la
dies, however, predominating. The
following programme was executed in
the most interesting and attractive
manner:
/. CHoRUs-"Are Your Windows Open
Toward Jerusalem ?"
2. Responsive Bible reading.-Psalms
81.
}. Prayer.
a. CHoRUH-'To the Work"
5. DUEL-'Jesus, Savior of my Soul"
6. ADDRESs-Prof. }. w. Nicholson.
I. QUARrErTE-"Beautiful Land OF
Rest"
:. DUETr-''Cast Thy Bread Upon
the Waters"
6. ADDRESS-Coi. X. A. Cross.
10. CHoRUs-''Whosoever" new.
Il. SoL0-"The Old Kirkyard."
Il. DUET-"Come Thou Fount of Ev-
cry Blessing (new).
Is. ADDREss-By the Pastor.
IA. SoEG-"Watchmau, Tell Is of
the Night"
Is. SoNG-"Seeking to Save"
16. SoLo-"Consider the Lilies"
Il. MISSIONARY HYMN-"From Green
lands Icy Mountains.
Is. BENEDICTION.
The musical accompaniment was eX-
cellent, seconding well the chorists,
Mrs. Goodale, Skoliield, Misses String
field, Lefever and Graves, and Messrs
Goodale and Waller, who sang the sew
eral hymns most charmingly. Though
praises are due to all of them, we cannot
but make especial mention of Misses
Springfield and Lefever, and Messrs.
Lefever and Waller, who, in the duets
and solos rendered by. them, gave great
pleasure to their listeners. Messrs.
Nicholson and Cross, and the worthy
pastor Mr.. Dawes, delivered short adj
dresses, with great effect.
The Society was organized, one year
ago, for the commendable object of aid

the promotion Of this holy work, is one
that will serve well the purpose in view

Morgan City Review; Last Thursday
the grand jury at Franklin endorsed a
true bill against H. Shelby Sanders for
manslaughter, and against Horace Hack
EFT as accessory before the fact, crime
unknown to the law. This is the we'll
known Warren Chism easy. District
Attorney Winchester enter d nellie
prosequi as to Haekett and he was re-
leased and filed an information against
young Sanders for manslaughter. Bail
was fixed at $4,000, which, we doubt
not, was promptly furnished, but we
have yet to learn that he is ut liberty.
We do not know when the ltrial will
take place.
