SOUVENIR.
May Goth. ls81-May Goth, 1881.

The above date brings to my recollec-
ton the departure of volunteer com
pany of Delta Rifles of the 4th Regi-
ment of Louisiana Infantry.
This company was numerous and com
posed of the elite ofthe young men of the
parishes of East and. West Baton Rouge.
When the boat, which transported them
to New Orleans, landed at our wharf,
dense crowd ofbOth sexes occupied Front
Street and the river bank; the sound of
cannon was mingled with the burrahs of
the popu!acc, and band OF musicians
discoursed and filed the air with mar
tial music the young ladies threw flow
ers to our brave soldiers, who received
them with enthusiasm. This scene was
touching in the extreme. How many
have returned of those intrepid defenders
of the Southern causef Perhaps half.
The others left their bones bleaching
on the battle field, or persisted from want
and disease after four years of fatigue
and fighting. Those who fought to the
last have given proofs Of heroic courage

THE BATON ROUGE DlRECTORY.-We
dislike very much to disparage the en-
terprisc of any one, but feel in duty
bound to complain Of the Baton Rouge
Directory issued by Mr.. J. Curtis Waldo,
OF New Orleans Besides coming far be-
low expectations in the description of
this parish md city, the names of many
residents and the information given, are
in many instances grossly inaccurate. Mr.
Andrew Ganglotf, the popular barber,
as white an eX-cannoneer as ever loaded
gun in the Orleans Battery during the
war, appears as A. Ganglott, coIored
barber, etc. Capt. Hillen, our Admins
traitor of Police, has his name changed
to Nillen. The Parish Constable Mr.
Carmena figures as Carvienu. We only
give these as samples Of the many errors
contained in the Directory.

SOMETHING IN THE BED.

Judge Pitman has habit of slipping
his watch under his pillow when he goes
to bed. One night, somehow, it slipped
down, and as the Judge was restless, il
worked its way down toword the foot OF
the bed. After bit, while he was lying
awake, his foot touched it: it felt very
cold: he was surprised, scared, and
Jumping from-he bed, he said:
"By gracious, Maria, theresa toad or
something under the covers; | touched
it with my foot"
Mrs. Pitman gave loud scream and
was on the floor in an instant.
Now don't go hollering and waken
up the neighbors, said the Judge. "You
get me broom or something and wei!
fix the thing mighty quick"
Mrs. Pitman got the broom and gave
it to the Judge with the remark that she
felt as if snakes were creeping up and
down her legs and back.
"Oh, nonsense, Maria Now turn
down the covers slowly while | hold the
broom and bang it. Put a bucket OF
water alongside the bed so we can shove
it in and drown it,"
Mrs. Putnam fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The Judge
held the broom uplifted, and as the black
ribbon of the silver watch was revealed
he cracked away at it three or four times
with the broom, then he pushed thu
thing off into the bucket, Then the,
took the light to investigate the matter
When the Judge saw what it was he said

you women to go screeching and tussin.

"It was you that made the fuss, no
me-" said Mrs. Pitnam.
"You needn't try to put the blame o.
me-" then the Judge turned in am
growled at Maria until he fell asleep

Interesting Exercises.

On Wednesday evening, fully eight
hundred persons assembled in the yard
of the Convent of the Sisters OF st. Jo-
sanb 70 witness the exercises of the
young lady boarders, three OF whom,
were to be graduated and presented
with medals and diplomas, in evidence
of their merit and requirements
We regret that the want of space
precludes the publication Of the very
attractive programme, which consisted
of songs Rotations, the rendition OF IN
teresting dramas and dialogues, COM
positions, the execution of several NOR
ceaux on the piano, and lastly the val
edictory which was delivered by Miss
Fanny Pierce, in so sympathetic and
feeling a manner that the vast audience
was deeply touched by the beautiful
thoughts, so well expressed by the TAR
speaker.
Prominent among the pupils in the
several roles assigned them were Misses
Fannie Pierce, Mamie McCullen, Marie
Roux, A. Pujol, Lizzie Pryor, May He
bert, X. Gass, Katie MARTINEZ, NJ. Bree,
+. Labat, Eva Hood, Leila PLANT and
Nellie Hamilton, all Of whom acquitted
themselves most creditably, thereby
evidencing the intelligent and careful
training they have received.at the hands
of the talented aud Jealous sisters, who
must have felt that their efforts were
fully appreciated by our public who
were represented as fully as they have
ever been on similar occasions.
At the close of the interesting eXer
cises, the graduating class, composed
of Misses Fannie Pierce, Mamie McCuI'
len and Marie ROux, were awarded
handsome gold medals as testimonials
through Mayor Jastremski, who, in pre-
senting them, spoke as follows:
"YoUNG LADIEs-Through the par
TALLY of the good Mother, it becomes
nv pleasing duty to present you thes'
beautiful medals as evidences of you
merit, for the attention you have giyeI
to your studies during your attendance
at this institution, the obedience you
have lent to the counsels OF the goOt
Sisters and the example yon have shown
to your schoolmates. | could not pa.
you greater compliment than to stat
that have been told by the Mother
that you had well deserved thes
medals and were worthy to wear them.
This event marks new era in your lives
In few years you will enter the worl
to wrestle with struggling society. io'
will, of course, encounter the trials
temptations and vicissitudes of life
When you do, Il am sure that the teach
ings you have received in these precinct
rendered holy by the self-sacritice AM
practice of christianity charity daily eA
hibited by your noble teachers, will Civ
you the strength to perform the impor
tant role which is allotted to woman
whose duty is to exemplify virtue and I
uphold society. | know that you wi
be worthy of the good Sisters, yor
preceptors."
After the presentation of the medals
the crowns and premiums won by tn
pupils were also delivered by Mayo
Jastremski.
L, The large assemblage seemed great
pleased at the exhibition, whose attra'
tons were heightened by a display
panoramic views and by the selection
executed by the Independent Sllvt
Cornet Band.
The good Sisters of st. Joseph came
be praised too highly for their good wor
in this community.

EDITOR CApIToLIAN-An article ap-
peared in the Claiborne Guardian few
weeks since, stating that there was o
probability ofmy taking charge Of Ho-
mer College, the ensuing fall session,
which has been rather extensively no
ticed by the press in the northern por-
ton of the State. So long as it was
spoken of as a probability saw no neces-
sity for contradicting it, but as one OF
our best and most widely circulated pa
pera recently contained the following :
owe observe in one of orr exchanges the
statement that Prof J. W. Nicholson
will take charge of Homer College, &c.
&c." presume it is proper for me to
state that the article in the Guardian is
attributable to the fact of my having
been rendered the said position, and not
to any assurance on my part of an accept
ance OF the highly appreciated offer.

House Plants in winter.

As the season has arrived for arranging the
choice plants for Identifying our homes
through the long winter, a few practical sug-
gestions may be acceptable. Large plants
take up so much room that il is better to take
geranium slips for the house windows, and
put the large plants into the cellar to keep
for the garden in the spring. There are two
ways of keeping them one is to take them
from the earth carefully, so as not to break
the roots; shake off the loose earth, and hang
them where they will keep dry and warm in
the cellar through the winter, and set them
out as soon as warm enough in the spring
The other is, to bury the roots in EARTH set
them upright where they will be safe from
frosts, and water them occasionally through
the winter Ivies of all kinds need light and
warmth, and will not live in the cellar, so
they need cutting back when brought into
the house.
Pelargoniums, that are for winter bloom
ing, should be cut back quite close, taking
of all the old stalks, leaving only this years
shoots. Hanging plants are very nice as
they can be suspended from the tops of the
windows and are entirely out of the way.
Wire brackets and window shelves are very
convenient in the winter for plants that re-
quire the sunshine, like the varieties of CO.
leus. Fuchsias and variegated geraniums
need a south window to keep them in good
condition and beauty, while others thrive
finely in either east or west windows. Great
care should be taken to keep all insects off
the plants, as they will never thrive if infest-
ed with them. Frequent washing is the sur
est preventive; a pinch of sulphur buried
in each crock will help exterminate insects
and kill any worms that may be in the earth.
A little sulphur burned in the sitting-room is
as beneficial to plant health as it is to animal
health, and ought always to be attended to,
occasionally, as it destroys all fungous growth
on walls or plant pots and renders the atmos-
phere pure. Care must be taken not to wa
ter the plants too much. Heliotropes, lilies
and ivies require more drink than any other
house plants. Country Gentleman.

weeks, TO pick out the speoked ones they
keep pretty well till spring IL carefully watch
ed the hard shell squashes like the Hub

which are mostly used in autumn for pies, etc.
Tomatoes picked quite green, just before

under the glass of a hot-bed, will ripen after
several days exposure TO the warmth Of the

be easily dried by spreading them on a roof

cellent winter dish they need only to be
soaked, and cooked as II freshly picked This
method is not so generally known and prac-
ticed as it should be-string beans are deli
cate dish in midwinter, and well worth the
slight trouble of saving them. Lima beans

No fowl over two years old should be kept
in the poultry yard, except for some special
reason. An extra good mother, or q finely
feathered bird that is desirable as a breeder,
may be preserved until ten years old with ad-
vantage, or at least so long as she is service
able. But ordinary fowls should be fattened
at the end of the second year for market
When there is room or shed that can be
closed, the fowls may be confined there. The
floor should be covered with two or three
inches OF fine sawdust, dry earth, sifted coal
ashes or clean sand. The food should be
given four times day, and clean water be
always before the fowls. A dozen or more
fowls may be put at once in this apartment,
so that there may not be too many ready to
sell at one time. The best food for rapid fat
tening, for producing well-Aayored flesh and
rich fat, is buckwheat meal, mixed with sweet
skinned milk into a thick mush. A tea
spoonful Of salt should be stirred in the food
for a dozen fowls. Two weeks feeding is suf-
fcent TO fatten the fowls, when they should
be shipped for sale without delay, and anoth-
or lot put up for feeding. If the shed is kept
dark and cool, as it should be- the fowls will
fatten all the quicker for it.-Prdoticdl Farm
