Fish Fries.

Our people sccm to have become very fond
Of fish OF late, or OF piscatorial sport Las
Wednesday we followed a small party up or
Boeuf river to place back of Mrs. Edwards
plantation, arriving there Just before they be-
gan collecting the fish together for the .fry
The catch was small, but the ladies' fried
them very nicely, we had good coffee, and
with other things % help out, we managed to
make good meal, which we enove as
much as any we ever ate. We all reIshed
our dinner all were cheerful and disposed
TO participate in little good natured humor a,
each others expense, and all came home well
pleased with our days sport and recreation
Thursday we joined some of the same
party, with an addition of few others, and
went up on Dead Lake. near Lafourche Fer,
ry, where We caught an abundance Of fish
more than we could all cat, though we did
our best to get away with our full share. II
was very pleasant affa,r-as pleasant as
that Of the previous day; but on our return
home our horse got very sick, and We though,
for a while we would have TO walk home
and lose horse too, but we managed to get
home. after some delay.
On Friday morning. as we write this, an.
o.her party are on their way to Cypress bayou
to have fish fry-hope they too will have
good time.

ders on others. this manif.sts O
iittleness of character that we had no
idea he possessed we had more
exalted opinion of the man. But his
greatest blunder is that he. we are
told, attempts to defend slavery as an
abstract principle. That o man of
learning and great natural ability
would attempt to defend this relic of
barbarism under the MONDAY glare of
this advanced era Of civilization, chris.
tianity and enlightenment seems too
absurd to believe; and yet we are
told that the President of the late
Confcderacy does this in his book,
which southern people are expected TO
