At o'clock last Monday morning q
lire broke ontin and entirely consumed the
kitchen of Ben Bowlen's residence at the
corner of st. Michael and Houmas streets,
before The different fire companies could
reach the spot. The fire was the result
OF All accident. 1t seems that Bowliu had
gone out after getting up, lighting the
ilre III hts stove and putting his break
last to cook upon it, i'll order to call up
some one who usually accompanies him
TO his daily work. He remained away
some time and Oh returning saw the
blaze that WAS consuming his building.
The alarm was immediately given, which
brought to the spot the Hook and Lad
der and Blue Bucket Companies, and
such members of the Phe.uix as had not
taken part il the excursion OF last Sun
day. The Hook and Ladder Company,
by the use of their Babcock fire extin-
gnisher, prevented the spreading of the
fumes to the dwelling. The Blue Buckets
deserve credit for their share in work.
This is the first coufagration that we
have had for some time, and until it hap
pened the Babcocks had net Leen fairly
tested. The company expresses satisfac-
ton at the working of the machine, and
when the new steamer arrives here we

HON. CHAS. GAYARRE.

Concerning this eminent author and
honored citizen of Louisiana, the New
Orleans Democrat has tho following in
teresting item
Hon. Charles Gayarre has lately re-
turned from the North and East (which
he has visited for business and recu-
peration. The venerable historian Of
Louisiana looks much better for his
short summer travel, so much rcju-
venated in fact that from appearances
we may expect something new from
his brilliant and classic pen. In the
meanwhile, the reading public will be
pleased to hear that he has made ar.
engagements with Osgood 4 Co., of
Boston, publishers, for the publication
of his excellent historical novel Of
"Aubert Dubayet."
The intimate friends of the author
who have had look at the manu-.
script, affirm that the book cannot fail
of success. 1t is full of interesting and
unpublished historical anecdotes, told
in that highly ornate and easy styl,
for which Judge Gayarre is SO wei
known, and as evidenced in his TO
nance of the history of Louisiana ant
the interesting lectures which he ha.
occasionally given to New Orleans au
diences.

Tho NatchitOches Ninuicatnr tells a
remarkable story about Il fasting hen,
which We commend to the raiSors of
poultry for town and city consuNp-
ton:
Early in August, Mr.. Rusca filled Il
house in his lot, adjoining his store,
with hay and then securely fastened it
up. He had no occasion to open the
building until September, some forty
five days after closing it. On opening
it, his surprise may be imagined, when
he found in the room Il white hen
alive, but q skeleton Of bones and
feathers. For fortyfve days she had
been in 4 dark room without food or
water. Mr.. lsusca at once cared for
this remarkable feathCrcd faster and
soon had her we'll. We were shown
the hen \ few days after being taken
from the house. She was i'll Il coop and
supplied with food and water.

In Memory Of Alice Barr,
Brady.

"Leaves have their time to fall
And stars to set; but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O,
Death ~
ALICE BARRY BRADY, leaves not only a
lamenting father, a mother, brother and
sister, but also large army of friends,
both of Jews and Gentiles, who are now
mourning for her untimely death.
''rhough never in life she speak again, still
the memory Of her charitable acts will
speak again with a look at last.'' No lips
can utter the praises Of this young noble
and true woman, a model daughter, and a
kind sister of suffering humanity, honored,
loved and respected by ali who were fortu-
nate enough to know her and her qualities.
The blow is severe one to the deceased S
relatives and friends, but we all will take
consolation in knowing that He does all
for the best. And the Father of Mcrcics
will not desert us in the hour of a1lliction.
Oh, kind and gentle friend,
Oh, thy loss we deeply feel,
Useless though ourtears Of SORROW
1t will not recall you now.
Sadly to Gods will we bow;
Sad, indeed, it was to loose you,
And from your friends be torn away.
Memory sweet does surely brin.
Unto you Well go some day.
Each and all your acts of Kindness
Dear Alice, while here we dwell,
Shall remain in our memory sweet;
Alice, farewell !

GEN. KINGS CAMPAIGN.

GIN. King will address the people
of lincoln parish to-day at Vienna,
going thence to Vernon where he will
speak Nonday, thence to Columbia,
and Harrisonburg and thence
throua franklin, West Carroll and to
Lake,rovidence where he will close
the cnvass on the End. Beginning al
Moroe on the 7th, he will have
adtssed the people at twenty-five
difrent places ut the close of the can.
VI, within twenty-six days, and will
he gone over distance, by private
clveyance alone, of not less than 600
Jles. The amount of fatigue, labor,
jxiety and Inconvenience involved
this circuit of travel and speech
baking, only those know who have
undertaken similar mission, and of
these there are but few.
This is characteristic OF King, how.
ever, people will say; and we will
say it is characteristic of Kings con-
stituents to honor and reward the zeal
and fidelity he has shown in their in
terests. No better evidence of this can
be furnished than that all reports
agree that the meetings he has so far
addressed in the district have been
largely attended, and that great en-.
thusiasm has been manifested wher-
ever he has appeared.
Senator Jonas met Gen. King al
Bastrop where he addressed the PEG.
pie, and also at Farmerville, Shiloh
into the canvass in this district with
an interest not less than that of one oil
its own citizens. His exposure OF
Republican wrongs and his arraign-
ments of Republican leaders, Gen.
McMillen particularly, have had a
splendid effect in arousing the Demo.
cracy, and depressing, in a correspond
ing degree, the family reviving hopes
of the Republicans.
What has not been accomplished by
these speakers, the recent glorious vic
tory in Ohio will bring about before
the day of election.
approximations have been felt that
many apathetic Democrats would be
won from their allegiance by the boast
made by the Republicans that they
would carry the next House, and that,
therefore, it would be unwise to send
Democrat from this district. Some
were expected to abstain from voting
on this assumption, and many more,
especially in the riparian parishes,
were expected to go openly for Me-
aid in the rebuilding of the levees
than King.
Now the shoe is on the other foot,
and we may, with Republican logic
and propricty, tell the Republicans
there is no use to vote for NcMillcn,
rs he can accomplish no good, but to
vote for King who can and will.
Democrats of the Fifth District,
marshal your forces on the 7th, and
give Gen. King rousing victory. Let
no man remain at home. When such
an one does, without good reason, let
him be remembered, for Tie country
demands Ills dttllot tt'17 lbs hel,.
The Democrats of the several wards
and parishes SHOULD understand that
they are to furr'the bases for rcprcs-
entatiOn in Democratic Convcn-
ton, by y lroledo,n the 18th, so that if
duty don't see Perate with all, per-
herps local pride and interest may with
the remainder. We have no fears of
the result, but every Democrat should
be at the polls early on Tuesday, the
18th Of November.
