" Battle of the Books"

The Literary Revolution ~ which
caused such sensation Il few years ago,
ana which was supposed to have been
thoroughly overthrown and done for.
seems to be " ablaze again, more fierce
and hourishing than ever. Its 600 page

one to he paid for after receipt and ex-
animation, evidence of good faith being
Given,' are now being advertised in
thousands of papers, and it opens ones
eyes to see the books offered-this time
thoroughly beautiful Typography and
the best of paper, press work and bind
ing, instead of small type and cheap
work, as formerly. And one must ac-
knowledge that they are indeed the
lowest prices ever known" We quote
few samples, the books being always
unabridged, and in large type:
Tennyson's Enoch Arden, 2 cents.
The Cotter's Saturday Night, 2 cents.
Caesars Commentaries, sCicero's Ora
tons, and numerous other " Ancient
Classics for English Readers reduced

cents upwards; also, plenty. of other
books equally interesting and astonish-
ing to the old-tim book buyers. The
books are sold only to buyers direct,
and not through booksellers. Those
who would be inclined to believe such
claims fabulous are confronted with the

School books at j. B. Clements store.

w. Baton Rouge Sugar Planter: The
political pyretechnics of some Of cur
State exchanges have called our atten-
ton to two very important facts. One
is that not a single Republican paper in
the State is advocating the candidacy of
Gov. McEnery, and, second, that ali of
the Democratic papers opposed to him,
with rare exceptions, have sprung up,
like mushrooms, on the hills of victory.
In the dark days of the Radical past,
when papers that are now so vicieusly
denounced as ring organs were battling
for the right, their patriotic ~ detraet-
ors were unborn, nor did they come to
life until the battle was won and the
crib was opened. Let us hear no more
of this cry of ring. 1t is only the
mouthing of demagogues.

OBITUARY.

Died, at his residence in Grand Co.
teau, Oct. l1th, 1883, JOHN F. SMITH,
aged 81 years and 5 months.
Scarce ten months have elapsed since
we consigned to their last resting place
the remains of the loving companion
of his old age, ere we are called upon to
perform the same sad duty to the worthy
subject of this notice.
A few days since he was among us
enjoying apparent good health, but
death gives short warning.
After a brief illness of ten days, he
died death characteristic of the life he
had spent, peaceful and happy, sur
rounded by his devoted children, kind
friends, and solaced by all the comforts
of religion.
A loving father, a sincere friend, a
true christian, an honest and upright
citizen, he leaves a void difficult to be
filled. A FRIEND.

What Tom Moore Said.

Wrinkles are democratic and fiatter
nobody The same may be said Of all
blemishes of the skin, whether caused by
sickness, age or accident. GLENN's Sui
PHUR SOAP will at least retard the time
when wrinkles make their appearance,
by keeping the skin of a velvet softness,
improving it's elasticity, and preserving
its healthtnl appearance. 1t gives a
pearly aspect to the skin, which cannot
be distinguished from the natural hue of
a pure blonde complexion. Beware of
ceunterfeits. See that &C. N. CRITTEN-

OFllCE OF STATE SUPERINTENDENT d
OF PUBLIC EDUCATION,
Baton Rouge, La, Sept. IL, 1883. }
TO the Teachers Of Louisiana and all
Friends of Edaeation:
For several years past, during the
summer months, Institutes have been
held in several of the Southern States
under the auspices Of the Peabody Fund,
and with the approval of DR.. j. L. M.
Curry, the distinguished General Agent
for distribution Of the same.
It is difficult to overestimate the ad-
vantages that have resulted from these
Institutes. Among the people, a deeper
and broader sentiment has been awaken
ed in favor of education, and, every
where, teachers have been stimulated
to renewed energ.y and zeal in their
chosen profession. Many valuable sug-
gestions and much nseful information
have been disseminated, tending to pro-
mote the efficiency of the school systems
of the South.
In series of Institutes, to be held
under my supervision during the months
of October and November, teachers will
be instructed in the science and art of
teaching, and alse in school manage
ment, by the Rev. A. r. Horne, who has
been Principal of the Keystone State
Normal School for six years, and who
has been engaged in conducting Insti-
tutes ever since 1858.
Last year he was successfully and sat
isfactoriIy engaged in conducting Insti-
tutes throughout Northern and Eastern
Texas.
1t is earnestly requested that Parish
Secretaries or Superintendents, through
ont the State, use the full extent of their
influence, if not official authority, to in
duce all teachers to attend one or more
of these Institutes. Let all teachers I'M
derstand that the Institute is not to BE-
an examination, but let them know, al
the same time, that preference will be
gwen to teachers who seek progress in
their vocation.
All teachers in attendance will have
the privilege of free participation in the
discussions which occuI at stated inter
vals.
Institutes will be held at the follow
ing times and places
