JudgeS. d. Read returned IastSat
urday from Keachi, La, where he hai
been in attendance upon the com
mencementexercisesofK eashi College
situated at that place. The Judge de
liyered the annual address before ths
senior class. The exercises passed Of
with considerable eclat.
There were in attendance the pas
sessionssnme 2 90 pupils, of both sexes
and al enjoyed excellent health, a,
their ruddy, cheerful faces plainly in,
dictated. The growth of this school is
almost without a parallel, at least in
the history of schools in Louisiana, a:
the percentage of annual increase
which is over 40 per cent, fully dem.
onstrates. The feeling of entire salts
faction as to the progress made by the
pupils was almost unanimous among
the patrons,
The following gentlemen were elect,
ed to ELL vacancies on the Board of
Trustees Gen. John y Dung, OF Ciai-
borne Mr. BolIs, Of Shreveport Mr..
Walker, of DeSoto, and Judge S. j.
Read, OF Caleasieu. 1t is the inteH-
tion of the Board 10 increaco the capae-
ity for boarding, and also to erect n
large two-story building to be used IS
a chapel aud recitation room. I. II.
Coleman, the president, has at his own
expense erected quite handsome and
commodiOus building adjacent to the
college property, which he has very
kindly rendered to the trustees to be
used as long as they have need for it.
1t was in this building that the com
mencement exercises were held this
year.
The discipline in this institution is
good, notwithstanding its rapid growth
and the exercise of wholesome discip-
line, strengthened by a strong moral
restraint upon the students, promises
TO be leading feature in this, as it is
in all well regulated schools.
We are highly grati6ed at receiving
such encouraging reports from TINS
school, as it fills long felt want, and
may it continue to prosper anti its
benign influence shall be felt through
ont the entire State, and many of our
young men and women shall cheerfully
acknowledge her rs their 0iDs0 mater.
To persons who desire to give their
children a thorough course, entirely
exempt from the evil influences which
surround many of our colleges we
heartily recommend Koaehi College.
The Judge reports crops as being
very fine throughout the section of
country which he trarersed during his
/ trip, and says the people generally are
hoping and looking forward to more
prosperous times.

THE Baton Rouge Truth, in an edi-
torial on the re-opening of the Expo
sition, very truthfully remarks: alt
wOuld be difficult to point out at this
time all the resultant advantages TO
our State to flow from the Exposition,
but chief and foremost among them
will be the influx of a class Of men
who by their large capital and bust
ness habits will infnse new blood and
new life into the tagging industries Of
Louisiana. The great drawback and
hindrance 10 our rapid development
has been the want Of moneyed paeni
along with the laboring immigrant, We
want to sec come in orr midst the
capitalist and investor. instead 81
being disgnsted with our country, We
believe the moneyed class visiting the
Exposition as a general thing have
been pleased with our country and
our people, and that they recognize ths
many advantages of investment in the
Southern States"

In addition to the general good con-
dition Of crops III this State, Saws the
7tsi0es. Democrat, the Increased acre
age, improvement in standing and free
dom from overflow, attention should
be called, as an important factor in
the State prosperity, to the excellent
manner in which labor is everywhere
behaving, and the zeal, eaTnestness
and industry being shown by al the
agricultural laborers in Louisiana,
both white and black. The reports
! from al portions of the State agree
on this point, that there are fewer idle
hands than hitherto, and more work
being done BY those employed
cit is bnt evidence of what the
Southern press has always claimed,
that under Democratic rule the ne
groes, freed from the disturbing ele-
ments engendered by the Republicans,
would do better, raise larger crops and
become more prosperous. The ten
dency has been in this direction ever
since the Republican party was over
whelmed IN the South. When CleVe-
land carried it there were not few
Radical papers to predict that this
woah cause great excitement and IN
easiness among the negroes, aud that
many would leave the South to settle
in other States. On the contrary, the
c0lored laboFer is working more ear
neFtly and doing better now than ever
before"

TIE West Baton Rouge Sugar
Planter says: "Mr. Eustis' boldness
and dash stamp him as a man of nerve,
backbone and Independence Of eharac-
ter, and as a leader worthy TO carry
the Democratic banner. By speaking
his mind in an open and frank manner
he has shown That he is not the mere
creature of any ring formed tocontrol
Federal patronage that he is head
and shoulders above such littleRess,
aud seeks only to do his whole duty
to the people who elected him. Had
he been disposed to agree to the con-
frmation of certain Independents who
had fought his party in the last can
Vass be might easily have held a pom
iRent position in the Congressional
ring at Washington, and controlled a
liberal share of Federal patronage in
this State bat 1T Is a source OF con-
graduation that he declined to do so,
and that be has come out manfuily
and boldly and thrown the gauntlet
down TO those who Insult The Demec-
raey of Louisiana By styling them
selves reform Democrats. Among
Democrats there is no sHch distinc-
ton. All Democrats are reformers
and be who is not a reformer is Ger
tainly not a Democrat"

which is their main support, is almost
exhausted, and is selling at 81 per

it will afford but little relief. These
same counties suffered heavily from
drought and seourge last year.

A COLUMBIA, S. C., special Of the
18th inst, to the Gmes-Dsmocrat, re-
lates the following strange freak of
nature A colored man has been
discovered in Anderson county, who
has almost completely changed color
during the past year. His name is
Berry Armstrong. He is sixty-one
years of age and was formerly the
slave Of Obadiah Shirley, well known
planter of Anderson county. In June
last white spots commenced coming
first on his legs and then all over bis
body, neck and face, until now he is,
except with a few spots around his
nose, mouth, eyes and the rim of his
ears as white as most white men. His
eyes have also changed and correspond
with his color. His hair and beard
still have the appearance Of the negro,
but are getting very gray. He says
that he has had bat little sickness in
his life, and that he has not felt any
strange effects while the change OF
color has been going on, and that he
did nothing to produce or assist the
change, bat has watched the process
and cannot give the least idea Of the
cause, as he never prayed for the
change nor desired it either, He
seems 10 suffer no Hneasiness about it
He says that lac is nearly as active and
sprigbtly as he was at twenty-oDe years
of age, and his appearance indicates
that he will live for several years &c
