The MORNING STAR.-We are happy
to note the fact that the jaunty little
mail steamer will continue her service
to Donaldville, until the railroad reaches
West Baton Rouge. Under the guild
ance of her clever Capt. Pennywitt. who
makes the mail landings almost to the
minute every day, the Morning Star has
become the greatest luxury that the
people of the coast, between Donaldson
vile and Baton Rouge, have ever had.
Nothing but regular railway trains can
supply herplace. We represent the feel.
ings of the people when we say that
the Morning Star should not be taken
away, except to turn her prov up the
river to Bayou Sara and New Texas
when the whistle of the locomotive re.
sounds ia West Baton Rouge.

Mr.. William A. Bryan, the veteran
typograph and journals has been rus,
tcating among his friends and relatives
in this parish, for some days. He is to
assume control of the Iberville South on
the 1st ofJuly. Under his experienced
care, that already well conducted jour

press of the parishes. Mr.. Bryan has
been connected with the live City Item
since its birth, and will doubtless make
the South boom. He is a gentleman OF
high character in every sense Of the
term and we, in common with his host
of Baton Rouge friends, wish him every
success in his enterprise, Well be hap
by to touch elbows with him as our neal

~. John's Day.

The Masons Of Iberville, West and
East Baton Rouge, with their ladies and
invited guests, celebrated the Anniver.
sary of the great Saint, by assembling
under the gigantic oaks, which make
the y. S. barrack grounds, in this city,
one OF the most picturesque spots in the
South.
Seats, stands ana tables had been i'm
provised for the accommodation of the
$50 or 300 persons in attendance.
At about Il p. NJ, Hon. David N. Bar
row, of the Iberville Lodge, rose to de-
liver the very instructive and ornate
address which will be found elsewhere
in this issue. Upon perusal it will be
found that the learned orator has given
condensed history of Free Masonry,
which will doubtless be read with great
attention by the initiated as we'll as the
uninitiated, who will certainly accord to
Mr.. Barrow the full measure of credit
he earned SO handsomely.
At the close, James NJ. Lobdcll, Esq,
of West Baton Rouge, delivered short
but eloquent address, which we have
been unable, as yet, to obtain for publ
cation.
In due time the baskets were opened
and their contents Of most appetizing
cdibles were spread on the tables. Soon
after the company assembled around the
| festive board, from whence it was not
long ere merriment and sociability
reigned supreme
After dinner the string band called
the dancers to time, who, first on thu
green and then in spacious hall, chang
ed the scene into one where youth and
| beauty instilled new life to the very
pleasing programme of the celebration.
Towards the approach Of night the ex.
cursionists from lberville took their de-
parture for their homes after spending
the day in most pleasurable manner
We here take occasion to express oul
thanks to those kind friends through
whose invitation we we're enabled to be
present at the celebration.

1t would be capital idea, were the
parents of the Baton Rouge boys to in
terview them, seriously and tell them
that the way they have of whistling and
yelling at school exhibitions, theatre
performances, etc, is an exhibition of
Comancheism, that might pass current
in some of the mining towns of Colorado,
but is discreditable to the CAPITAL of a
civilized State. Strangers are impressed
by such conduct, with the belief that
our boys have never been away from
home, else they would know that such
antics are not admissible.

A FAHURE

CINCINNATI, Sept. 16.-The Soldiers re-
union has been a great disappointment.
Rain fell steadily yesterday and completely
drowned out all the general exercises. A
number of interesting regimental and brig
ade reunions were held and the Mexican
veterans held a business meeting and re-
elected their officers. This mornings paper
contained an announcement that at mid-
night the Executive Committee had decided
to have no parade to-day on account of the
rain. As it is not raining this morning
there is a strong movement to have the
parade yet and thus redeem the re union
from being a complete disappointment.
Later. A parade will take place, the process
sion moving at II o'clock.

that their existence is involved in the re-

practical measures for the promotion of
honest labor their own occupation would
be gone-the country will refuse to listen

organized obstruction to the meeting was
resorted to. The confusion was at one
