AS stated in one of our previous
issues, Mr.. L. I. Dalaney, formerly Of
this place, took part in the second de-
bate of the New Iberia Literary club
Of the manner IN which he acquitted
himself, the Sugar Bowl there says -
"The cudgel was next taken up by
Mr.. L. 7. Dulaney, who was not uu-
merciful to the times in which he lives.
His discourse was slightly broken,
owing to the fact that he had made
notes which were thoroughly covered
by his predecessor. This obstacle was
soon overcome, then the eloqnence
flowed from the speaker in an uninter-
rnpted current which was repeatedly
applauded. His arguments were re-
plete with sound logic"
