Alexandria Lodge No. 33, Knights of Pythias, celebrated in a becoming manner, on Tuesday night last, at the ": Court House, the 25th.annivejsary of it the Order universal in the United a States. No such an affair in the so-f cial line has keen given in Rapides in many years, and those who were pres ent will ever remember the event with It pleasuee, and perhaps allude to it in h the future as the umost delightful in ev- a ery respect which they ever experi etnced or attended. a The Ball was a success in every tl particular. As to arrangenments, or der, etc., it was perfection thanks to " the commuittte of arrangements. The crowd present, both ladies and gentle- P men, (and let U; say here that the ten- ti der sex were well represented on this o occasion, having their prettiest and P sweetest girls in attendance, who only vied with the gallant and co,,urtly l I males,) was well made up from other " localities than our own, and all had a merry time, and drnced until early the next morn. The mnasqueradert-whv, of course, they were interesting, as they always are-and they had the crowd gazing t at them to find out who they were. Many were not known even after mid- t night, when their wasks had bt,ecn re moved. The music was furnished ,y the Alexandria String Band, consisting of Messrs. Gossens, Goulden, Bolt and I the Raxsdale brothers. The hall was well decorated-on I the floor was a beautifully painted 1 circle on which the dancers moved. t The happy ending of this affair ar- a goes well for the Knights of Pythias in Aleiandria. It shows their strength as an organization, and how they are esteemed lby their fellow-citizens in t this community. We congratulate the N Knights of Pythias and trust they will u soon give us another of their most de- b lightful balls. t The Elliott Troupe. The above named tronpe of artists p are to appear at the Alexandria Opera 'J House to-night and to-morrow night. e Of their performance in New Orleans, p the Times-Democrat of the 18th inst., 1 has this to say: t The Elliott family opened a week's I engagement to a crowded house at t Faranta's theatre last night. The El- uI liott's perform wonderful 'feats on hi- t cycles and unicycles, and give an en- i tertaining performance. The pro- V graamme opened with the Elliott's in F the patent unicycle, or one wheel ska-I ting act, ending with the carnival by t torchlight, introducing a Russian quad- I rille. Mand and Hazel Earl, who are a styled the atmospheric magnates, per formed some very ditficult feats on the trapeze. Kitty, Polly, Tutu, Jim and I Little Dot, the smallest clown on the stage, gave a hicycle tournament, do ring which Master Tomt Elliott created a sensation by riding on a revolving a table at the rate of i':0 revolutions a minute. Hazel and Gipsy Earl next appear..d in pretty sketches. Dr. Fluoceo, maummoth panoptican, with limelight effects, proved very inter esting. Miss Kate Elliott made a number of rapid changes in her trans- I formation dances of different nations. Toney Gripe and Luie Conrad, as I funny clowns, hat throwers, hat spin- t ners and jugglers, gave a neat enter- t tainment. The performance was very f interesting and concluded with'Cupid's ' Spies,' a laughable farce. -The following is a list of articles ordered for the white public schools here, the money havig been realized by a fair given a few weeks back.

N News of the burning of the residence e of Dr. Robert L. Luckett, near Boyce, f in this Parish, on Thursday afternooni~ d about 4 o'clock, only reached here the " following day. T By the fatal accident the Doctor h loses not only his home, but all of his B household effects, including wearingt of ,. apparel, etc. an - 'rhe olow is, indeed, a severe one, th and we, in conjunction with the gen- I v tleman's many other friends in Alex- pr andria, deeply sympathize with him Ci , in his loss. A c The accident, as we learn, is sup- pr ,p posed to have b,een brought about"y ,v " tqe igniting of a match with which is one of the Doctor'sP ittle children was th d playing at the time. wi The house and furniture, with other y losses, will reach about $1500, on r which there was no insurance. We th a did hear that one of the little children il e1 barely escaped with its life during the th progress of the fire, but are pleased to of e note that no personal injuries were "/sustained by any of the members of the family. At the time of the burning the Doc- di 1 tor was at the Depot at Boyce, await- in ing the return of his wife, who was in Alexandria. Ce -Bay yoear Boots, Shoes and Hats le if from Bauer and Weil.
