Meeting Of tho Le1ldana Press.

At the request of the committee of
arrangements organized by the good
people of the pretty little city of Thi-

the committee, states in a letter con-
veying it's wishes, that, as all trains
reach Thib0daux before 3 o'clock y.

the press that evening. On Tuesday
the sessions of the association will be
held, and at their close a promenade
concert will be given in their honor.
On Wednesday, as that veteran of
the press puts it, the association will
be ''taken bodily" on Il steamboat

and famed Bayou Lafourche, spending

Indeed, Louisiana has, to-day, a
