Mr.. Andrew J. Gingry visited New Or
leans on behalf of tho Independent Band
this week, and secured for that excellent
organization an engagement to furnish
music forSt. Bernard Fire Company No.
at the annual parade of the Orleans Fire
Department, March 4. The contract calls
for twelve musicians, and the Independ-
cnts will select dozen of their best
members to fill the bill y; and that they
will do so to the eminent satisfaction of
all concerned is a conclusion that admits
of no doubt.

The conspicuous and attractive adver-
tisement of the mammoth Godchaux
clothing house challenges the favorable
attention Of our readers. Mr.. Leon Cod
chaux stands at the head of the extern
sive clothiers of New Orleans, and scarce
ly any one familiar with the prominent
business houses of that city but knows
the name and fame Of Godchaux. Dur
ing the next few weeks many of our
readers will visit tho Crescent City, at
tracted by the displays Of the god of
February, Nard; Gras and tho 4th of
March, and all who need any thing in
the line Of clothing, youths, children's
or mems furnishing goods, will find it
greatly to their interest to examine the
immense stock and the low prices of the
Godchaux establishment, 81 and SO Canal
street.

gentleman, Judge John H. Ilsley, Jr., on
the occasion of Il quiet little family din
ner given on the 18th Of January, in
commemoration of the genial Judges
fortyfourth birthday anniversary, which
occurred the day previously, the 18th
nltino. In the midst of Judge Ilsley's
delightful family circle, composed of his
charming wife, two handsome daughters
and an amiable son, reinforced on this
occasion by three or four agreeable init
mate friends, we need not say to those
who have visited the Ilsley home that
the elegant dinner and the post-prandial
amusements i'll the way of vocal and in
strumental music, etc, were enjoyable in
the extreme. Judge I1sley carries his
forty four years with the vigor and spirit
which have characterized him since boy
hood; his physical energies have lost
little Of their youthful fire and his big
heart is as warm as when the rich blood
of earliest manhood coursed swiftly
through his veins. We wish him many

A FINE CROP.-The CHIEF has been
favored with the following authentic
statement Of the crop produced on Mr..
Il. IL. Yale's Home plantation in the first
ward of this parish: No. of acres of cane
raised on tho place, 242-stubble, so;
plant, 162-giying 5l65 tons Of cane. In
addition to this, 300 tons from neighbor-
ing places were purchased. From this
total of 1913 tons was realized 705, 23l lbs.
Of sugar and IS, S92 gallons of molasses,
an average of 11sa lbs. sugar per ton Of
cane and 364 gals. molasses per 1000 lbs.
of sugar. Estimating the purchased cane
at the same ratio as that grown on the
place, there were $50 acres Of cane in all,
yielding an average product of 2535f lbs.
sugar and 92s gals. molasses per acre.
This is a fine yield and the estimable
gentleman owning the Home place has
good reason to be pleased with the result
of the years labor and outlay. Much OF
the credit for the large quantity and ex-
cellent quality of the sweets produced is
due to the skill and experience of the
sugar maker, Mr.. Dominique Gentl Of
Donaldsonville, who has justly deserved
the material reward and the high COM
mendation from his employer which his
conscientious and faithful seasons labor
have brought him.

The President made his iourne y
to Long Branch in safety yesterday
The details of the trip are fully and
graphically presented in our press
dispatches, dated all along the line
of travel. He bore the fatigue OF
the journey admirably, and arrived
at his destination in apparently bet
ter condition than when he started.
When he was first taken to his room
in the Francklyn cottage, his pulse
was only 1O2.
Later in the evening, $50, when
the evening bulletin was issued, his
pulse had gone up to higher figure
than It has been for several days.
The temperature is also higher.
This, however, we are told, was
anticipated, and we trust that a
nights rest in his new quarters will
reduce these, and that the work of
Improvement will begin and go on
satisfactorily. Nevertheless, his con-
dition at the date of the official bull
letin was such as to cause apprehen-
sion, and the intelligence of to>day
will be looked for with unabated in

LONG BRANCH, September 6.--The even
ing official bulletin is as follows:
$40 p. m.-Since the last bulletin was
issued the President has been removed from
Washington to Long Branch. He was more
restless than usual last night, being, evi-
dently, somewhat excited by anticipations of
the journey This morning, at $50 o'clock,
his pulse was 11s, temperature SO, respira-
ton IS. We left Washington with the Pres
ident at $50 a. IN. Owing to the admirable
arrangements made by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and to en- ingeniously
arranged bed, designed by Mr.. I. N. Ely,
the fatigue incident to transportation was
reduced to a minum. Nevertheless, as was
anticipated some signs of disturbance, pro-
duced by the journey, have been exhibited
since his arrival, by rise Of temperature
and increased frequency of pulse. At pres
ent his pulse is 124, temperature 1OO.6,

to Attend "Goodman's Busi-

We have, with the press generally, for
years been upholding Prof. Frank Good
man, and the Knoxville papers have also
extended him their friendship, as the fol-
lowing from the Knoxville Tribune of
yester daywill show:
"No new enterprise or institution which
has been established in Knoxville in years,
better deserves the hearty cooperation and
encouragement of the community than
does Goodman's Business College His
Nashville Business College has acquired a
national reputation, and Knoxville should
feel complimented in having division of
that. famous institution established here
and it is an institution that Knoxville and
the business men of the South are proud to
own. We are gratifed that Goodman's
Knoxville Business College is receiving new
students every few days, and is in fair way
to make grand success"
The Tribune, CHRONICLE and Holston
Methodist, as well as other East Tennessee
papers that have spoken SO highly of Pro-
fessor Goodman, can always feel sure they
will never have cause to regret having en-
couraged and assisted him, for the follow
ing. copied from a circular of his several
years ago, shows TRUE AND MANLY SPIRIT ::

so short time, generally go home feeling
afraid to risk themselves in business or with
a firms books. We would rather not have
a cent of their money than take part OF it,
and not sufficiently qualify them as account
ants and be able to earn back the money in
vested i'll their business education.
The fall term of Professor Goodn1ans
College in Nashville and Knoxville has
already opened, and the prospects of full
and complete success in every way is
brighter than before. The success of these
institutions are certainly well deserved be-
cause of the manner i'll which they are con-
Quoted by Mr.. Goodman and his able corps
of assistants. These institutions are what
the South should feel justly proud of, and,
as they stand second to none in the country,
the reason is easily understood why they are
so literally patroaized.
The above, from the Banner, gives our
readers an idea how Professor Goodman's
Business Colleges are being appreciated
by the best men of the country. He certainly
has made complete success of the Nash
vile College, and from all indications the
Knoxville College will also prosper. The
fact is, Professor Goodman is an indefatiga-
BILE worker, and knows no such word as
failure. Among the students we notice Mr..
Benz. Leavell in daily attendance, who, by
the by seems to be determined to waste no
time. He is taking complete business
course at Professor Goodman's College, and
at the same time spending some hours every
evening in the telegraph department of
Messrs. Jones & Sons College, learning tel
egraphing. This is how it came to be an
nounced that he had bought scholarships in
both colleges.
LADIES BUSINESS COLLEGE,
The Banner says: In his usual enterpris.
ing spirit, Prof. Frank Goodman is contem.
plating the addition to his already we'll
known Business College a department for
ladies. This has been determined upon in
view of the growing demand on the part of
women to enter the various trades and pro-
fessions. We have no doubt this new de
parture on the part OF the wide-awake pro
fessor will receive liberal patronage.
Persons interested should write to him
either at Nashville or Knoxville.

FULL COURSE STUDENTS.

No student is received at his colleges only
for full course, as it is his aim to fully
prepare young men for the active duties of
q business Me-
We copy the following from his circular,
which shows his good sense and judgment,
and for which he should be commended:
"We have no three months course It
surely could not be reasonably expected of
us, that we could take the average young
man and in three months pronounce him to
be an intelligent and competent
accountant. Having had to edu-
cate him in commercial calculations,
the laws of contracts, negotiable paper and
the like, rapid business handwrite, bust
ness correspondence, bookkeeping in its
| various forms, both by single and double
! entry, as applied to general merchandising,
wholesale, commission, banking and other
kinds of business, and go through the actual
business department and the minute details
of business in three months"
This idea of becoming an accountant in
! three months and less time has produced
damaging results. 1t has caused many bust
ness men to look with contempt on Business
Colleges, as they believed it impossible for
young men to thoroughly master the COM
mercial branches in so short a time, and
young men themselves, who attend college
