Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1881-12-13

We have no reference to any allusione
regarding the Baton Rouge folks, whose
musical talent and melodious voices
are far famed Neither do we desire to
establish any odious comparisons be-
tween them and the serenaders of Mag
nolia, Miss, aboat whom the Gazette
speaks as follows: son last Monday
night, some of our young men went out
serenading Coming down the street In
froot of the Court House, and singing
one of their fayorite airs very loudly,
an old gentleman sitting ON the veranda
of the Magnolia Hotel, remarked, "They
sing well for negroes" Moving on up
Magnolia Avenue, they halted before
Mr.. smiley's residence, when they again
broke the quiet of night, and Mr.. Smi-
ley's little girl hearing them, exclaimed,
"Cows, mama; cows" The youngmen
think ofattending singing school be-
fore they venture out again"

Iberia Sugar Bowl: From reports
received, it seems that very unpleas-
ant affair occurred on board of the steam
boat Ashland, on her way down the bay
on last Saturday whilst landed at the
plantation of MIR. Bosworth. One of
the uuder-Officers of the boat, who it
seems had been drinking for several days,
got in such state of excitement that
he was altogether unconscious of what
he was doing and seemingly mad at ev-
erybody, in fact he appeared to be rag
ing mad. He wanted TO shoot the bar
keeper or any one that would happen
to cross his path-With pistol in hand,
he walked abont the boat seeking to kill
his imaginary enemies. He finally re-
iieved his crazed brain by firing four or
five shots through the bar-room-proba-
bly, he was trying to kill the demon that
was gnawing and singing his soul to
death. This is another example of the
devil and his two twin-brothers, whisky
and pistol.

and will then enter Jackson street, and
will come straightway on to the river

When the energy means and enterprise

there is no doubt this much-needed con-
venience will be shortly completed.
Let the enterprising project go on, say

Six miles above Thibodaux on yesterday
evening a week ago. A negro from
whom young Eltert claimed a debt that
