WVby, I should have comi pared Rex to the tiniest asteroid, which paled before onr brilliant Bahton Huge liinets, but I never thought of it. I dotni't think they ought to feel slighte.d, bIlt licil as I dild when the local editor, ior smeii homiie-colreiitpiiidenit of one of iiour papers took 's1 ecial paiins to tieni tion every single laidy frin l hatolRo lnge that was present, exceptling imyself 'lhere was a grand plarty last Friday night, given by the " town boys" at P'ike's Hall. Truly, the old saying, '" it never rains but it pours," wais verified this week, as far as all kinds of gayety is concerned. lReally, we are always at extreines, either staguiting with dull nless or resplendent with ilnullleillenllt. But the party was delighlltful--. ell at tended by the young gentlemen and l Ia dies of bitol East and West, Baton IRolge. The beiutiful blonde, Miss C. Ilaurt fromn New Orleans, was presentn, elegantly at tired in blue silk, with crimson roses in her hair alnd at the throat ; also anlothler charmlillg stranllger, Miss Nettie Davis froml tlhe Crescent City, a petite brunette, who has become quite ai favorite during her visit. She is a guest.of Miss Annie ltlluta, who was present and lookedi lovely in a tasty black dress, with black lace over-dress. In fact all the girls looked nlotably well and stylish. Two of the lilost exquisite c(ostutlles were worn by Misses Annie Beale anld Mattie ltnrden, the former, light bllu satin, land the latter ecru silk. 1 enjoyed it ever so much, though iily enjoyment was chilled and 1 felt completely subdued wheln Mr. B. turned around, with a world of sar casml in his voice, and remarked "that it was strange I could see Baton Rouge boys now, when I couldl not in New Or leans at Rex's ball." You know Mr. B., dloet you! Why, first lie was a rising young lawyer and orator, then all ell bryo local editor, and now lie is--well, I could not follow his career farther, it be collies tileSOllme. He llade anothlier re mark: "If youll want any friends you had better drop the V. froml your namie" -a genltle hint to cease "Viviani's let teln," I suppose. I could not well gralsp his iuleauugi. I1e is too deep; his wordls are fllholiless. Ilope, youil hlave never triedl to be a local Editor-ali, no, you have inot, I'm srlle, anld Ilonll't! The i:lay after the party we had a l ic-iic plannled, bult "I lintll lipropoes and Giil isoises' t.rl the liln Cune downil in tll irrellts. Still, we did not deslpair.
