THE MORNING STAR.-We are happy
to note the fact that the jaunty little
mail steamer will continue her service
to Denaldville, 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 in West Baton Rouge.

that the end of the world had come sure

with Abe Rosenfeld, who don't believe
q word of all that sort of stuff and is de-
termined to take in all the spare cash he
can get during the heated term. TO do
that he has begun selling an immense
lot of summer silks, underwear, REM

The CApITOLIAN and Prof. Worrenzof-

they feared might fall into Mars, result
ing in terrible catastrophe, have at last
found her. Sad to relate, there wasn't a
rat to be found upon her. Advocate.
No wonder that Hilda is ,utless. She's
in the condition of the leaky ship. IT'S
therefore plain that the funny ono of the
Advocate, with instructive fear, Will
never 90 to her, even BY rail.

Mr.. William A. Bryan, the veteran
typograph and journalist has been rus
ticating among his friends and relatives
in this parish, for some days. He is to
assume control of the Iberville South on
the lst of July. Under his experienced
care, that already well conducted jour
nal, is sure to rank A among the
press of the parishes, Mr.. Bryan has
been connected with the live City Item
since it's birth, and will doubtless make
the South boom. He is q 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 near

1t would be capital idea, were the
parents Of the Baton Rouge boys to in
teryiew them seriously and tell them
that the way they have of whistling and
yelling at school exhibitions, theatre
performances, etc, is an exhibition of
Comancbeism, 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
ourboys have never been away from
home, else they would know that such
antics are not admissible.

Feibelman, we are sorry to say, has
been completely demoralized by the adj
vent of the two comets whose long tails
he fears will burn up his stock of goods,
He wouldn't mind it if Courier and
McNair, the Insurance men, would agree
to pay the damages, But they won't.
He has accordingly concluded to sell out
his great assortment just for what he can
get. One has but to read his advertise
ment in to-day's paper to discover that
Feibleman means business.

TO be taken up by competent carpenter

no invitations are required to attend the

which were designed solely to be sent
beyond the city and neighborhood, were
