Mrs. Julia Rule. the bright Fancy o

our pleasure 10 meet a score Of new
acquaintance, among them Mrs
Blanchard, the accomplished wife O.
Congressman Blanchard, with whom
we haG the pleasure Of a dance during
the evening. After INDUCING in the
giddy mazes of the waltz for several
hours with the fair terpsicoreans OF
Alexandria, we left the pleasing scene
aud wendell our way homeward with
our talented lady.
Nextmorningt the members of the
press packed their grips, put on their
busters and hurried to the trains, after
assuring the citizens of Alexandria Of
few days most pleasantly spent.
They all left except brother Millsaps
and ourself who fingered behind a
day or two longer to attend German,
to which we had been kindIy invited
by the young people. 1t would be a
crime for US to state that in all the
array of beauty aud of grace which
met our gaze, we did not meet some
whose bright images are yet fresh
within our memory. 1t would be a
fruitless task to describe the pleasure
of an evening we can never forget so
we will have to leave that to brother
Millsaps, who came away from Alex
andria complete captive to the iden-
teal maid who came very near wreck
ing our own little bark.
But leaving all seDtimentality out of
the question Mr.. Editor, it would be al
bard matter to tell to whom we owe
the deepest obligation; for wherever
we went and with whomsoever we
we were the recipients of

and her virtnous daughters-when
that time comes, with an honest pride |
and grateful heart we can point to |
The people of Rapides and her queenly
