AS announced in HE FREE PRESS last
week, Mr.. and Mrs. III. NJ. Hamilton, of
the MankatO House, were at home TO
their friends on Wednesday evening of
this week, it being the fifteenth anniver-
sary of their wedding, and the reception
was one of the pleasantest social gather
mgs ever held in the city. From $50
to nearly 1000 o'clock Mr.. and Mrs.
Hamilton were engaged receiving their
friends, who assembled to the number
of about three hundred. After the for
mai reception Of the guests, dancing was
begun and kept up until after two o'clock
in the morning. The banquet was such
a spread as has never been excelled if,
indeed, equaled, at any social gathering
of like magnitude in MankatO. In fact
it was, next to the Willard reception,
rendered a few weeks ago, the largest
social company v witnessed in the
community; and it just about cqualed
the former one in numbers. The young
ladies who served the guests were all
prcttily attired i'm white, and executed
their role with a precision that did them
great credit. The tables were exquisite.
~ arranged and most bountifnlly laden,
and reflected admirably 10 the credit o.
the host and hostess. Mr.. and NJ RS
Hamilton are to he congratulated upon
the manner in which every feature o.
the reception was carried out. Pleasant
memories Of this occasion will always
remain with those present, and it is the
hearty wish of all, that there may be-
many returns of this eventful Ito them
anniversary, and that the briIliancy o
this occasion may be a correct exponen'
of the domestic brightness and felicity o
their remaining years.

Mr.. EDITOR:
Passing through many multifarious
scenes of public and local interest it oc-
Cured to me that it might please your
numerous readers to hear occasionally
from me.
This Opelousian region is so delight
fully embosomed in the Prairies of
Southwestern Louisiana, that we con-
slider this one of the most charming
portions of the wide Union.
Many of the finest tropical fruits
could easily be brought to perfection in
this "sun bright Cline" Opelousas was
originally a Spanish settlement. The
Franco-Spanish race became blended
into what is now called by the familiar
name of the Creole -the-bye with
out the imitation of pen, or overwrought
fancy, the creoles are generally hand
some-often beautiful, with that char
acteristic repose of the face that Byron
styles so bewitching.
But what can be more interesting
than the bright-faced lively children
and never have we seen such numerous
families as are here in the neighboring
town of Washington.
What more can be said of the prolific
happiness of Louisiana only one dark
cloud to overshadow the family group
the little ones are petted and spoiled by
the tender hearted mothers
But beginning with the charms Of
Opelousas we must close by telling you
that the far-famed and beautiful song,
stress Mrs. Alice Scwartz, styled the
native Nightingale of New Orleans, gen.
erously sings tonight for the benefit Of
the Fire Company. Who can tell how
much good, genius can accomplish
when in the right track. For the pres.
ent, adieu, ELIZABETH.

then / will ask him another question.
Why do not these competent teachers
do their duty in conscientious man

because they have SO much trouble in
