that ut the same time have facilities for
shipment Ivy wafer for the purpose of select
ing Cor The location of an establishment of
this kind, the point most advantageous for
the business. The three main features To be
considered in the selection of location are:
facilities for receiving and shipping goods
both by rail and water: Il country adapted
To growing the variouS fruits and vegetables
, used by them; and thiru, a location where
the necessary hrlp-mpn, woman and child
rc,,-can be obtained in sufficient number
and at fair wages.
Many of the largest operators in the can
ming business are leaving the cities and 10
eating in The trnit region, on account of the
high wages and taxes levied on them in the
cities. Ellltnn seems 10 ill the bill in every
particular, being in the midst of fruit

facilities, plenty OF labor, and ground upon
which to locate, free of rent. Mr.. \. G.

Col jamar's many friends, we're aston

peremptory order had been issued at the
War Department, that he proceed at
once to reioin his regiment in New Mex
leo. 1t WILDE remembered that similar
order was issued at this time last year,
inst after Col. Jamars marriage to q
young and highly esteemed lady OF this
parish. He was, in consequence. COM
pelled to go out to New Mexico until by
the combined efforts of his friends he
was again returned to the University,
where he has been rendering such SER
vice, that the President, Col. Johnston,
and the Board of Supervisors have seen
fit to recognize them in various ways

themselves to where the dancers were

We confess that although Baton Rouge
did her best to hold her own, her repre-
sentatives, numbering hundreds, were
held in cheek by the visitors of both
sexes, of whom there were many from
New Orleans, the coast parishes from
New Orleans down, and others, too, from
the Felicianas and neighboring parishes.
The number of those present is yari-
ously estimated at from twelve to if
teen hundred people. To use the ex-
preston we heard from many lips "noth-
ing but the Mystic Krewe or Rex balls,
in New Orleans, could surpass in point
of numbers, brilliancy and style the
Grand Ball of the Fourth Of July, 1881,
at the Louisiana State University and A.

The pretty women were as thick as
leaves in Vallombrosa. 1t was a sight,
indeed, that the most fastidious could
not but admire.
The large attendance on last night,
from home and from abroad, must be
accepted as an evidence of the growing
popularity ofthe College, which, by next
session, will contain we believe. q full
battalion of just such gentlemanly and
bright-looking cadets as those who We're
doing the honors last night in so cour-
teous and elegant manner.
The cadets cannot oe praised too high
ly for the activity ana Intelligence they
displayed in entertaining the great
throng of ir>guests, That they were
rewarded by the approving and admir-
ing smiles of the fair, we have every rea-
son to believe. And we don't wonder
at it; as a haDdSomer set Of gallant
young fellows than these conld not be
assembled anywhere.
The ball will, beyond a doubt, fill q
prominent space in the annals Of bril-
liant entertainments, 1t surpassed ev-
cry expectation, and is an unmistaka-
bic indication that the University will
henceforth march towards unprecedent-
ed success and development,

entrance to his room fired at the robber
who was standing inside she store door.
The load OF small shot struck tho door
easing and going outward tore piece
out OF the stole door which was open.
Mr. Rogers then followed the burglar
outside and as he jumped off the gallery
and ran around the fence, fired q second
shot at him again missing him and strik-
ing the pickets. The bold robber never
uttered sound, during the whole affair,
and owing to the darkness, Mr.. Rogers
could not distinguish the features eft the
man or tell whether he was white or
black. The only regret is that the shots
fired at him did not take effect. Mr..
Rogers pluck, under the circumstances,
was remarkable and his actions brave
and commendable. It was certainly an
unusually bold gttempt at robbery and
probably premeditated murder.
Feliciana Sentinel: On Tuesday even

entertained. She was furnished com.
