The Southern Brewing Company of New
Orleans. a corporation which owns the
largest brewery, ice cellar and refrigera-
ting apparatus in the South, invites the at
tentlon of the public to its business through
the medium of an advertisement in the
CHIEF. The beer manufactured by this
company is justly celebrated for it's excel
lent quality and its popularity is on the in
crease wherever its merits are known.
Here in Donaldsonville, for instance, the
consumption of Southern beer is probably
double what it was a year ago, with pros
pect that it will ba again augmented in
fully as large ratio within the coming
year. The success Of the Southern Brewing
Company is due in lasge measure to the
energy and business foresight of its popu-
lar president, Mr.. Peter Biaise.

they had accepted an Invitation from the
Hooks to do SO, but ct Ii special meeting

At the request Of the Ladies' Aid Associa-
ton Messrs. Braud & Bateman haze kindly
consented to make u special trip with their
steam ferryboat between the hours of and
O'Clock A. n. next Thursday and Friday,
Tor the convenience of parties from the
left bank of the river attending the enter
talnments of Wednesday and Thursday
nights. The assurance of this safe and con-
venient opportunity of recrossing the river
should secure a large attendance of guests
from the other side.
The town officers elected last Saturday
nave received their commissions from the
Governor, and the new Council will hold
ITS hrst meeting to- day. Mr.. Thos. w.
Cook, one of the Aldermen elect from The
hrst ward, has moved out of town since the
election, thus creating vacancy to be filled
either by special election OF sIbernator-
lai appointment. The former method
would be the most equitable, democratic
and republican,but we presume the latter
will be chosen on tho ground of economy.
As will appear from the advertisement
published in another column, Mr.. VIM. H
Davis notifies his friends and the public
IN general that the new ferry ct Hampton
Store IS now IN operation and passengers
will be promptly transported across the
river between that point and Burnside Sta
ton, on the Mississippi Valley railway, at
all hours ara in any number that may ap
ply. The lessee particularly directs atten-
aion to the facilities afforded by his ferry
as a convenient means of reaching the
trains of the Mississippi Valley road, and
he proposes to coudEet i in such q way as

The Chair Factory Strikers Determine to
Stay Out Until Their Demand Is Granted.
The committee from the striking employees of
the Central chair factory had conference with
the proprietors Saturday night, and informed
them that they were determined to continue the
strike until the demand for reduction of three
hours work per week, with no change in wages,
should be made. They want Saturday half
holiday. One of the employees said, yesterday,
that Superintendent T. L. Thompson was some
what disposed to accede to their terms, but B.
F. Smith, one of the partners, said the firm
could not afford it and would not
do it. The committee repeated that the
men would stay out until the demand was grant
ed. The propretors said they would consider
the matter further, and it is supposed further
conference will be held, though no arrangement
for one has been made. No threats of attempt
ing to prevent others going to work should they
desire to, have been made, and no very bad feel
ing prevails among the employees. One of them
said yesterday that the members of the firm had
not been quite fair in their statement of the
wages earned by employees. He thought ma
chine men earned from So to So 80 week, and
that none of the finishers made more than $12 a
week. Some men were working for 81. % per
day. The boys made from 50. 30 to SIS week.
The Typographical Union held a meeting and
discussed the eght-hour question yesterday after
noon, but took no definite action. A committee
was appointed with power to act in cases where
proprietors or employers may be willing to grant
an eight hour day to their workmen. No demands
Will be made, at least for the present. A. r.

his employees from 60 to 81 per week. with no re-
duction in pay.
It is rumored that the workingmen of this
city will start, at an early day, an afternoon pa
per on the cooperative plan.

"Well, suppose you did, what harmp queried

and the freezing will be done next week on q
grand scale on a mass of earth lying south of
Shaft IL, and it will be kept solid as rock,
hardened as stone, giving no possible chance
OF more avalanches of clay and sand in the
tunnel below after it has once been frozen"
how is it doneW asked the reporter.
By Wholesale injection of ammonia" replied
Mr.. Wheeler, "and regret to say that we have
to 60 to foreigners to do that work for u.s. Still,
the world of scientific experiments knows no ma
tionality. It is German process, has worked
successfully in the mines of Germany, and the
officials in charge of the new Croton aqueduct
have satisfied themselves that this freezing
process is the only one by which we can secure
the quietitude of mother earth lingering in mass

SUNDAYS PULPIT THEMES.
The Sermon of DR.. Gilbert De La Matyr
at Roberts Park Church Yesterday.
The Discourse of Rev. 0. C. McCulloch on SEQ
Operation, or How the ROchdale Viewers :.
Make Money" Last Evening.
TRUST IN THE SAVIOR.

DIR. De La Martyrs Discourse at Roberts Park
Church Yesterday Morning.
Roberts Park Church was crowded yesterday
morning to hear the Rev. DR.. De La Matyr, of
Denver, formerly pastor of that church. The
song service was excellent, and the pulpit was
set with beautiful flowers. He selected as his
text Luke xiii, 49, 43-"And he said unto Jesus,
Lord, remember me when Thou CONTEST into
Thy kingdom And Jesus said unto him, Verify.
I say unto thee to day shalt thou be with me in
paradise"
In commenting upon the text DR.. De La Matyr
considered first the prayer Lord, remember
me-" and then the reply of Jesus, ''Today shalt
thou be with me in paradise" This, he said was
very fitting finale to the life Jesus had led If
was greater than the giving Of sight to the
blind or the healing of lepers. OF those who
were crucifed with Jesus one was a noted high
way robber. He was to die for treason against
society," being robber, murderer, highwayman
and all that was against the laws. both of the
country and of the Lord; man with no one to
defend him or deny the charges against him, for
Roman Jurisprudence had never gone so low as
to have criminal lawyers to defend and share
the profits of acknowledged robbers and high
waymen. He was to receive the most horrible
punishment human ingenuity had ever invented.
Alongside of this man was the Son of God, re-
ceiving the same punishment. The physical
agony of Jesus was inconceivably
more than that of the thief. for
He saw there His mother, suffering the greatest
anguish, and knowing His innocence. No hand
was raised to stay the blows of the soldiers.
Jesus was ready to bow down His head and give
up the ghost when this great criminal cried out,
Lord, remember me when thou CONTEST into thy
kingdom" He had read the inscriptions and
heard the taunts, and believed He had seen
him conquer the anguish of DEATH And then
the answer, verify, l say unto thee, to-day
shalt thou be with me in paradise" By this we
see that no matter how lowly vile one may
be, there is yet hope for his redemption, and he
may be saved if he will but believe.
That paradise of which Jesus spoke is no half
way station between here and heaven but it
is heaven itself. The head that was once
crowned with thorns is crowned with dia-
dems. Jesus came to save sinners that they
may some day reach that paradise. The thief
had probably never heard of Jesus before, but
seeing Him and hearing His prayer, Forgive
them Father. they know not what they do, he
was led to believe in Him, and that is all that
is necessary. If this poor sinner, who had never
before heard the name of his Savior, believed,
ought not we to believe also2
