The Deer Party.

The young people enjoyed a pleasant evening at Mrs. Walters last night.
 The young ladies were invited to tea by Miss Waller and the boys were asked to come down after supper.
 AS they entered the parlor, there was no one present, but it was understood that the young ladies were hidden about the room, and it devolved upon the gentlemen to fine one, who was to be his partner for the evening.
 A most enjoyable evening fol lowed.

A Day of Shut Outs.

New Orleans had an easy time with Buchanan's delivery vcster- day. The result was a 6-to-0 vic tory for the Pelicans, giving them two games out of the series. Manuel was in fine form, letting F'inn's Colts down with six hits, well scattered, and well deserved the shut-o he scored. For four innings there was nothing doing in theway of run-getting, Buchan- an having got away the firstthree rounds without a hit being made off his delivery. In the fourth, however, the visitors got busy punched three hits, which netted tworuns, enoughto win the game, with Manuel pitching in form.
 All four games played in the Southern League yesterday were shut-outs.

Sth JUDICIAL CIRCUIT.
Bill Passes the Senate to Add Lafayette
 County to Judge Carter's Court.

Immediately after reconven. ing yesterday afternoon, Senator Montgomery called up Senate Bill No. 449, detaching Lafayette county from the Thirteenth judi cial district and adding it to the Eight. The bill passed by unani- nous vote, andwas ordered trans mitted to the house, when Sena- tors Mckenzieand Arnold appear ed on the scene and asked that the senate recall the measure from the house as they were un- alterably opposed to it. Both senators represent counties in the affected district, and they objected to the entrance of La fayette county in the Eight judi cial district. The senator from Nevada declared that the purpose of the change was to furthur the political claims of some person in Senator Montgo- mery's county. The latter, how ever, denied that this was the in tention of the change. He argu- ed that Lafayette was formerly a part of the Eighth, and he was ad- vocating the return atthe request of the people of his county as a matter of sentiment and convent ence. On viva voce vote the Senate refused to recall the bill.
 The Cloud Goodwin anti-gam- bling device bill, a copy of the Wilson bill that was doctored to death six years ago, was called up for final passage. The measure imposes heavy penalties for off cers of the law who refuse to take action when their attention has been called to existence of gambling in the city or county. The use of a gambling device is made punisha ble by large fine, and a term in the penitentiary
 On roll call the bill was defeat ed by one vote, the general con tention being that there were enough gambling laws now if the officers of the law would pay heed to them. The final vote was sixteen to fifteen.
