Attend the Lecture.

A few years ago, sctuated by
the purest of zeal and the highest
motives for the advancement Of
public education, . little band Of
brave workers, headed by q gen.
uine, whole hearted woman, origi.
mated the idea of the Louisiana
Chautsuqua. This idea rapidly
materialized, aud has already
grown to such An extent that it
becomes necessary to enlarge its
sphere of usefulness by providing
additional conveniences. The few,
having already done 80 much, can
not rightly be expected to do all,
hence, the liberal aid Of all who
profess to be tho friends Of public
education and Of the children, Is
asked, and everyone should
respond, cheerfuliy and literally
to this call.
Public spirited men and women
are devoting their time and talents
to the success Of this scheme and
it is sincerely hoped that Rapides
will turn out with her usual libe1'
ersiity, and contribute her full
share, Oh the occasion Of the beau.
tiful and interesting Lecture, to
be delivered by DR.. Alphonse De.
Sesy, at the Court House, on We'd
nesdsy evening 23rd inst. The
DR.. is very pleasing lecturer and
clothes his thoughts in language,
pure and chaste enough to charm,
the most critical.
The proceeds of this lecture viii
be devoted to the purpose Of build
ing hall of Science ut the Chau
tauqua. General admission 81
cents. Pupils of Schools and Con
vent 25 cents. There will also bt
an interesting musical and elocu
tionary program by the young
ladies aud gentlemen Of Alsxsn
dria.
