Southern Literature.

This is the title Of a volume now be-
fore us from the B. F. johnson PUBLISH
ing Company, of Richmond. Va, COPY
righted in 1895, by Louise Manly.
1t is a comprehensive review of the
literature OF the South from 1859 t6
1898 with copious extracts and criti-
clsns and is designed for. use in our
schools and for the general reader. a
full list OF Southern authors can be-
found in an appendix to the volume.
The book is duodecimo of54O pages
substantially bound in cloth and the
typographical execution cannot be inn
proved upon. 1t contains numerous
and appropriate Illustrations.
Miss Louise Manly, the author, was
born IN South Carolina. Her father
Rev. Basil Manly, D. D., l.. Z. d.
was one Of the founders and professors
OF the Southern Theological Seminary
now situated in Louisville, Kentucky.
Rev. Charles Manly, D. d. President
of Furman University is her uncley
Miss Manly has taught In Alabama
Kentucky, Florida and North Caroline
and Travelled and studied more thar
two years in Europe ard is in every
way the person to prepare such a book
as the one now before us. Speaking
of the literary people of the South Miss
Manly says:
IF we, their countrvmen do NOT
know and honor them, who can be ez-
pected to do 500 No people is great
whose memory is lost, whose interest
certers in the present alone, who looks
not back to true beginnings aud hopet
fully forward to a grand future.
Among the Louisianians whose writ
ings find a place in this book are John
J. Audubon, Richard Fl. Wilde. Charles
GayaHe, Sarah a. Dorsey, Grace King.
The work is designed for use in graded
schools as text book as we'll as for.
general reading and its high order of
merit prompts the suggestion that our
State Board of Education adopt it as a.
text book.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

One OF the prettiesS weddings which
have taken place at the Catholic church
was that Of last Wednesday evening,
when our handsome young friend Judge
John B. Shaw stood at the altar with
bonnie Winsome Noemine Broussard, a
young lady whose personal charms and
grace have given here more than local
reputation as tic im~personator OF
"Evangeline' in the Louisiana Building
at the Worlds Fair at Chicago in 1898.
The groom and his Jest man Will 2.
Edwards. awaited the coming Of the
bridal party at the altar. Leaning on
the arm Of her brother Elias Broussard.
the fair bride, handsomely gounced in
white silk with q full train, and radiant
i'll pneeHly beauty entered the church
and advanced to the altar, followed by
her bridesmaids, Misses Daisy Shaw
and Eugene Young and Leodias Brous-
sard the other groomsman. Father
Mohault in a few simple and pretty
words, told Of the happiness, duties and
responsibilities Of the married estate
and pronounced so,emnly the ceremony
which made the couple mar and wife.
After the ceremony the attendants
and the immediate family Of the high
contracting parties proceeded to the
home Of the newly welded couple on
Lafayette street near st. Charles where
a light collation. was spread.
Our friends are deserving Of the
many wishes for future happiness and
we can but add ours-"May your joys
be as deep as the ocean, your troubles
as light as its foam
