TERR1o l. MoLLEEE.-We were mistaken
in supposing that the store on the Wives
place in Assumption parish had been pur-
chased by Mr.. John F. Terrio alone, and
that Mr.. John Mollere would be employed
there in the capacity of salesman. Mr..
Mollere is partner in the concern and the
business will be conducted by the firm
of Terrio l. Mollere. The estimable young
men composing the partnership will visit
New Orleans next week to purchase large
stock of new goods, and we doubt not they
will be prepared on their return to offer
highly attractive line OF merchandise for
the inspection of the people of their vici-
mage at prices that will compare favorably
with those of any other store in the parish.
We again commend these young merchants
to the inhabitants of Assumption as in ev-
cry respect worthy of confidence and en-
couragement.
The skating rink promises to become .

A series of tournaments will be Inaugural
ted next Tuesday evening, on which occa-
sion young mems contest for handsome
prize to be selected by the managing CON-
mittee will take place. Other tournaments
will be held at frequent intervals thereafter
and all Glasses of skaters will be given op-
portunities to display their skill on tho roll

by means of handbills, on which will be
announced the prices for admission and

The Whitehall Review: Many who knew
Mr.. Fargus personally have to regret the
loss Of gifted and attractive friend. The
far greater number who were familiar with
the name and writings of Hugh Conway will
feel deeply the removal from contemporary
literature of a name associated with great
success, and attended with the promise of
even better things. There is something pro-
foundly melancholy in the thought that Mr..
Fargus had for SO many years worked on
patiently and persistently, almost unknown,
until on a sudden success and popularity
came to him, and gave to him not merely
money. but the position and reputation
which are far dearer to a literary man.

Corps badges, the author tells us, came to

They originated in what Is called the 4'Kear-

dashing Gen. Phil Kearney saw some officers
whom he supposed to belong to his command
lettering under tree. He administered to
them rebuke for struggling. Then one of
them touched his cap in military salute to
the general and respectfully informed him
that they belonged elsewhere. The general
replied immediately: Pardon me, gentle.

Directly he reached camp he gave order7
that all the officers and men of his command
should thereafter wear upon the front of
their caps round piece of red cloth. This
was called "Kearney's patch" till the end of
the war. After the death of brave Phil
Kearney, In 1862 the officers of his corps,
out Of regard to him, continued to have the
top, or crown piece Of their caps, of scarlet
After that the other corps, one by one,
adopted distinctive badges.

Fourteenth and Twentieth corps Last OF
all comes the badge, of which many dis
tinguished men are proud to wear, the
symbol Of the powerful organization of the
Grand Army Of the Republic They appear
to become more Important and influential
as the years go by. To them we owe Deco
ration Day and the monuments throughout
the country to the Union soldiers.
These corps badges belong only to the
soldiers of the rebellion. At its close the
volunteers went back to civil life, and the
co,ps organizations were broken up. The
immense army melted away like a dream.
i4.cre are now no more corps commanders.
i4ced, our little regular army of the
present, 5000 strong, contains, all told, not
more than men enough to constitute single
one of the great corps Of the civil war.
These badges we have reproduced mostly
represent that which no longer is. For this
reason they are doubly to be priced.
