rs delegate to Democratic convention
held in Nashville few days ago. In re-
spouse to an imputation cast upon his 20

Congress in the First District two years

1t will be source of sincere qualification
to his many friends and admirers in this
parish to know that Rev. Robt. S. Stuart,
formerly pastor of the Episcopal Church at
Donaldsonville, is meeting with flattering
success in his new field of labor as principal
of the st. Philip school, in New Orleans. A
signi6cant indication of this agreeable
fact is afforded by the presentation to Mr..
Stuart, on Friday al last week, of a hand
some gold watch and chain, gift from his
pupils. A teacher who wins the love and
respect of the young people over whom he
is placed in authority is almost invariably
athe right man in the right place or the
right womans as the case may be-and the
CHIEF takea particular pleasure in citing
the incident just mentioned as evidence
that Mr.. Stuart is an exemplifcation of
this rule,

CHEAP SUNDAY ExcuRs1oNs.-The man.
agement of the Texas and Pacific railway
have inaugurated system of cheap Sun
day excursions on theis line that ought to
prove very popular during the summer.
Passengers will be taken to and FROM any
point between New Orleans ana Baton
Rouge on Sundays at the low fare of 81 for
the round trip; or, where the regular fare
between given points is less than 81, tick
cts will be sold for the round trip at one
half usual rates. Thus the regular charge
from Donaldsonville to Plaquemine is 81
cents; on Sundays passengers will be con-
veyed from one place to the other and back
for Is s;aanTta. The local train will also lie
at Baton Rouge two hours longer than us
nal on Sundays, passing Donaldsonville on
the way back at $50 p. M. Excursionists
from New Orleans are thus enabled to
spend six hours in Donaldsonvilie, leaving
the city at 1886 A. NJ. and getting back home
at 9:l5 2. NJ. the same day.
