Trip Of the Terpsiclhoreans.

How the 4pnaldsaaville Boys Enjoyed
themselves ut Baton Rouge.
Our special reporter furnishes the fol-
lowing account Of the visit Of the Terp-
sichorean Social Club of Donaldsonville
to Baton Rouge last week:
After a pleasant trip mp the river ON
the Morning Star, the Terpsic-, accom-
panied 10y Capt. Jno. McGrath and ltis
two charming daughters, landed in Bata,
Rouge at $50 Friday evening, and were
warmly welcomed by Messrs. Widney,
Brunot and Groz, by whom they were
escorted to the residence Of Mr.. Widney.
Here we had the pleasure of meeting
the charming lady Of the house and sew
eral other ladies, who entertained us
with agreeable conversation for half
an hour, and then invited ms to partake
of lunch, which was relished exceeding
ly by all the boys.
Upon invitation Of Messrs. Brunot and
Groz, we babe our agreeable host and
his lady au reroir and started out, as one
Of our boys expressed it, to take in the
town." During oar stroll we visited the
State House aHd found the work of re-
pairing it had progressed very rapidly.
After repeated frnitless attempts to
find our Wayne at last arrived at the
Capitol House, where, having secured
rooms, We made our not very elaborate
toilets, or, in other words, dopned our
$40 broalcloths ~ aud made our way
to the ball.
Upon entering Pixies Hall, a beautiful
sight presented itself to our view. The
picture formed by those handsome and
gallant cavaliers and beautiful and
charming ladies', is one which will
always hold tho first place in the picture
gallery of our boys hearts.
After VIC had been introduced to many
of the fair daughters of the Highland
City, finding that dancing was the order
of the evening, we secured partner
and mingled with tho gay couples in
dulging in the spirit enlivening pleas
ures of the Terpsichorean art. Among
the fair ladies whom it was our pleas
ure to meet and dance with, were Misses
Lille Mcconnell, Matte and Addie Nc
Gratl, Celina Dabm, Celestine Jastrem-
ski, Fanny Leftover, Carrie Block, Clara
Arbour, Emma Roe, Dot Taylo. and
Colina kugler. All of these were ac-
knowletlged bellies of the ball.
Having enjoyed ourselves to our hearts
content, until o'clock A. NJ, and as the
CHIEF predicted, ..=.
Danced all night, till broad daylight,
And gone home with the girls in the morning,
VIC repaired to the Capitol House and
breakfastel.
Directing our steps towards the wharf
we boarded the d, Morning Star and
steamed away, homeward bound. Dur
ing tho return trip nothing of conse-
quenco happened to disturb the quiet
look of determined resignation worn
by the sleepy members Of the T. s. c.
At IL o'clock We babe Capt. Pennywitt
a regretful az reroir and landed in Don.
aldsonville once more, completely tagged
ont.
We hope as the members of the Tel,sic.
club have made the first trip, that the
young gentlemen and ladies Of Baton
Rouge will before long give MS o chance
of repaying in part the polite attentions
and unbonnded hospitality which were
extended to us on all sides.
For fear the sorrowful and resigned
smile with which we accompany the an
swer to the oft-repcated question elbow
did you enjoy it Z" may he misinterpre.
ted, permit me to confess that the secret
of it is that some among us have left oul
hearts in charge of certain fair daughters
of the Highland City. Girls, treat them
gently.
In Ayers Ague Cure we have positive
remedy for fever and ague and all ,nalaria
disorders, and one entirely free from quinine
arsenic, or other injurious drugs. 1t is the
chemical and medicinal triumph Of tho age
