Under this heading the Marksville
Review closes an able editorial on
schools, with the following good advice
"We think we see evidences of this
spirit by the zeal manifested in estab-
llshing upon good and lasting basis
the University located at Baton Rouge
and over which Col. w. Preston John
ston presides. An opportunity is now
offered our people to lend a helping
hand to an excellent institution now
struggling in its infancy, and thereby
benefit themselves, their children, their
friends and their State. Patronize, say
we, home institutions: send your boys
to Baton Rouge. Keep them in the
State. You will not regret it,

A LIGHTNING MAIL TRAIN.-Maior
Spelman, General Ticket Agent of the
n, o. Pacific, informed us that the COM
pany intended to run lightning train,
carrying through mails to Donaldson
vile, Bayou Goula, Plaquemine and this
city, which would leave New Orleans at
5 p. ~, each day enabling passengers
departing at that hour to arrive at bed
time here, and also, to deliver letters
written at O'clock, p. NJ, in New Or
leans by . o'clock at Baton Rouge, and
earlier at the other points. This of
course depends on the Postmaster Cen

cessty of giving business men and the

Gallant Rescue by an American.

j. G. Hueston, London Agent Of the
of the New York Associated Press, had
narrow escape from drowning recently
in what proved to be a successful effort
at savin9human life While at Ems, on
his vacation, and walking with his daugh-
tor across q bridge over the river Lain,
he saw drowning woman in the stream.
The y-standers stood listlessly upon the
bank, making no attempt at her rescue.
AS he saw her 60 under, Mr.. H. Hues-
ton plunged into the water without di-
vesting himself Of any part of his cloth.
ing, and finally reached the shore in
safety with his now unconscious burden,
after severe struggle, in which for a
time it was very doubtful whether he
could save his own life, as the crowd on
the river bank did not even extend a
cane to assist him.
The Ems Lain Bote, Of June the 10Th,
notes the incident, with compliment
to the hero of the adventure, who was
evidently too modest to give his name.
The rescued lady proved to be patient
in a neighboring hospital, from which
she had wandered in delirium. New
York Evening Post.
We take pleasure it stating chat Mr..
Hueston is native of Baton Rouge,
where his highly esteemed mother still
resides. 1t will therefore afford un-
feigned satisfaction to our citizens to
hear OF his gallant conduct.

How TO RECEIVE THE EXCURSION
IsTs.--Major Spelman, the general tick
ct agent of the railroad told us, on last
Monday, that the number of excursion
lists coming here, on Sunday next, from
New Orleans, depended altogether on
the number of cars he could furnish.
He thinks that he can accommodate
two thousand which will not cover
those who desire to come. He was COM
PEELED to decline giving accommoda-
tion on the tram to the people of the
coast. Add to this those who will come
from Bayou Sara, Clinton, Crosse Tete,
West Baton Rouge and the neighbor-
hood, it is fair to presume that we will
have the town full of people. 1t has
been wisely suggested that our people
should have cool water at their houses
for the thirsty who may have some
trouble, in being accommodated at the
public places. The restaurants board
ing houses, ETC., should be prepared to
feed the throng at moderate rates. 1t
wouldn't hurt either if the saloons
would prepare small lunches for our
visitors.
Let our citizens do their best to make
the excursionists comfortable.

our streets with brass band and spent
the evening III dancing aboard their

Wednesday before the killing. As soon
as Capt. Walker heard of his arrival he
took his gun and went to find him. Com

down last week and gave himself up.
