A Card to the Public.

Under the caption of "a wrong
spirit" | notice in the Ioaen Talk Of
the 2Sth ult., short editorial, which
to say the least, reflects somewhat
on my character, both as a gentle
man and as Foreman of the Juve-
nile Fire Company, and wishing to
correct any misapprehensions that
might have been drawn by any ono
who may have read said article, is
my only reason for now appearing
in print.

saying that he is "sorry to say there
is bad feeling existing between
some of the members" of onr COM
pany, and adds that if there is not
a change in a short time onr little
company will soon become q thing.

this altogether uncalled for piece Of
trash, if | may term it properly,

tell this scribbling "monlder If

WITH view to induce the
public to come to the Exposition at
a small expense Morgan's Louisiana
and Texas Railroad propose to run
special excursion train from Alex
andria and stations on the branch,
between there and Lafayette, on
Sunday, April S, taking passengers
from Alexandria to New Orleans
and return at the extremely low fig
ures of 81 round trip. As the dis
ance by this road, including trans
fer, 496 miles, it will be seen that
this is a very low rate, and the ex-
cnrsion train will doubtless be we'll
patronized. The same road will
run another train from Lafayette on
the 9th instant, taking passengers
= q
from all stations between there and
Morgan City at corresponding fig.
ures. It is proposed that passen-
gers by both trains will return on
the morning Of the third day after
arrival. This is a good move on
the part of the officials of this road,
and will be met by such patronage
as will warrant a continuance of the
excursions during the next two
months.-[Picayune.
