It is indeed a lovely specta:le to see an ardent white youth of sixteen suim mers step up to a blushing ebony lass, place his arms gently around her shoul ders and imprint a fervent kiss upon her melting lips! Such things do sometimes happen, says an observing roustabout. To WATElnn.oo.-There is a movement on foot, so we have learned, whereby Messrs.

While the heel and too were being lightly trip ped by the gay damsels and their cava li'rs an excitement in the street caused a number of prudent young men to beat a hasty retreat in good order. As it was a private party, the boys are not anxious to havil a graphic des(crilption of the affair. RIssiN FiOM ors Asiiis.-Work has begun in eanlest towards repairing the state Capitol.

At about 9 o'clock, on Sunday night, the attention of the neighbors was drawn to an unusual noise in the rear of the store and residence occupied by Mrs. Kleinpeter, on Africa street. One of them Mr. B. A. Day, discovered smoke issuing from one of the rooms adjacent to the back yard. Ascertaining that the proprietress was absent he broke open the door to enter the house, where he found a lot of bedding and furnitnure al ready in a blaze. With others he at once set to work and succeeded in extinguish ing the fire, ere the firemen who were quickly on the spot, could bring their engines into requisition, The armoir was found open and a watch and locket besides other articles taken therefrom. A lot of flour and other goods had also been carried away, some of these hav ing been dropped by the burglar in M.r. McCabc's yard, across the way. The dastardly scoundrel had sprinkled coal oil in the room where the fire was dis covered. So far no clue has been ob tained to lead to the identication of the guilty party or parties. Prof. lMagruder's Collegiate Institute. In another column will be seen the announcement that the session of'yO-hl, at this excellent college, will open on Wednesday, Sept. 29th. For twenty-five years has that eminent preceptor, Prof. Magrluder, labored in this city to achieve the high reputation which is conceded by all to be the due tribute to the suc cess lie has attained in imparting a thor ough education to the many students who have graduated under his guid aice. The students at the Collegiate Insti tute are subjected to the moralizing in tnuences of a home, while they also re ceive all its comforts and attentions, thereby guarding their health through good diet and regular habits. They are requlired to attend their respective places of worship, and so control their actions ais to maintain the high estimation in which they are held by the good citizens of Baton Rouge. Success is the criterion of merit. Thus can the college be judged through the distinguished men whose education has been acquired within its precincts. We cannot too highly recolunlend the Institute as an unostentMl ous, though one of the best schools in the South. *'rank and Jesse .James. Hlon. J. A. Dacus, of St. Louis, the well known editor and ex-Member of the Missouri Legislature, has written a care fillly prepared "Life and Adventures of Frank and .Jesse James," which has been issued by the well known publish ing house of N. 1). Thompson & Co., of that city. Mr. Dacus;, we are informed, spent two years in the preparation of this work, mnntch of which time was with the flstily and friends of the James Boys, whose friendship and confidence he gained, and who gave him all the flicts concerning their antecedents and ancestry, as well:s asll the facts con cerning the a:lnost unmberless robberies, dashing raids :and vengefuli murders conumitted by themn during te 24) years of their career in nearly as maniy States andL 'J'erritories.

The young tidlks seem to be holing in reserve their love of fin andi frolic until some period in the uncertainm future. A heavy rain fell this morning, which 1 lasted upwards of an hour. The streets I were flooded, and it was difficult to pass 1 certain points. We trust that the rain 1 is now over for a while, as we have al ready had too much for the welfare of t the crops in this section. A levee contractor informed us Wed nesday that hands wore very scarce, and that it was almost impossible to secure the neobssary number to do the work. We take this occasion to notify the la boring class at large of this fact. The wages paid is thirty dollars per month and board. Those of our newspaper friends who favor a press convention will please ex press a preference as to time and place. By reference to our mast-head it will be seen that Baton Rouge is strongly favor ed as the place and the first Monday in October as the time for meeting. Let all who expect to attend express thenm selves at once. The crop prospects in this parish are still cheering. Unless the weather, which has been unusually wet and threatening for the past week, brings about some unfortunate disaster, we can safely count on a magnificent harvest of cane and cotton-the early corn hav ing already matured to the entire satis faction of all. Improvements are going on in all parts of Baton Rouge. The latest building en terprise that has comie under our obser vation since the completion of Mr. Joe Brooks' new store, on Main street, is the projected construction of a large business house by Mr. J. Kornmeyer, on the corner of America and St. Ferdi nand streets. And this is not all. Re pairs of every description are being made all through. The editor of the Jewish South favored us with a fraternal call 'Tuesday morn ing. We were glad to see the gentleman and form his acquaintance, as he is one of those sterling men of the Jewish race who reflect upon it credit and hon or. Cautions, yet bold, he fears not to express his opinions upon subjects con nected with the religion of his fathers, while his temporal policy is tempered with reason and practical good sense. Architect Freret arrived in Baton Rouge yesterday morning to take the in itiatory steps in the repairs oil the State lHouse. Messrs. Burke sand Brown, who had gone to the city a day or two pro vious, catme up on the saume boat with him, the former having signed antd finally secured the contract awarded to him by the Commission. Work will now doubtless be pushed foward with a vim. We wore hyppy to greet in our sanctum, Tuesday, our genial young friend, Mr. Marix, of Plaquemine. lie was accom panied by Mr. V.

A Trip to .Jaclr.on. )1I. 1' lrl'5olu-l I ousr last letter, we told you of a col)tem1llated six-days' picnic; surn1 cnIolgh it came off, anIl bein g liidly invitedl, we joinced tile party. We hlired an: ol0-time jersey, not exceedling 7 feet frolm the ground, soft board seats without iacks, no steps, and only nccessiile by clinbing thle spokes of the wheels; anl if youl haIppenedl to carry ImuIch avioirduois, your alttempted ascent set the wheels to revolving, and only by dinlt of ldouble-qunick, co)uld you suclceedl illn mounting. Once in, you felt youllrself taking silent leave of the grovel ing things ofl earth andm indulging inl hligher asliratio(s for the ethereal. The team consisted of a spirited little mare, '"Pegi,," and a liery animal of the long ear species, most ;lp'rol'riately called [Lllglllbriols." After three hlors dri ye, Peggy plahted lhetrslf ill the llmiddlell of the road and1 ipositiv.ly r'efused t), lmidge till she was Iuchedl. This slle generonusly shared with LUgulrious, hb1t when he was 441 fered a cool dralught of well water to wash it dlownl, he drolpeld his ears, gave a, sllort of conlltempt and slpiut it olIt, :Ias if he mo1'rnt to say, "all lIaton lhoge.'sI dtlrilnk cistern water; so do I." Pe,,gv had 'vid4hntlty mde this trip before with sorel Rev. circuit rider, tor she had an intnitiv' knowledge of all thle ,best snackinlg places on the roadl, and woulM march as straighllt np to ;a well-filled corn crib as if it had no doors. Alto gether she was a splendid muanager, and succeeded in nmaking Lugublrious haul us, the .'jersey '11d herself, from Baton Rouge to Jackson by sun set. Lugu brious did well enough till we got into the town of Jackson; then, for the first time, he caught sight of the college walls, half hidden by the beautiful pines; and bringing one ear down to a right angle with the other, he stretched his neck and vented forth all his long ing desires for literary attainments in one sad, reproachful wail, such as only a mule can utter. His very countenance assumed a look of upbraiding sorrow, and we almost fancied we saw regretful tears flowing down his hairy cheeks. However, we turned his back to the building, his face to some corn and oats, and his intellectual taste never devel oped itself again. Evidently, he had no predilection for the other big house on the hill, as he passed it several times without any sign of recognition. We were charmed with Jackson, its romantic environs, its far famed hospitality and its interesting cotumencement exercises. We hope soon to see its burnt district covered with new houses. So much has been said of the "speeches" that a panegyric from us would be superfluous; but like many others, we wanted the poet to get the medal. We must congratulate the CArz Trou.AN on its talented reporter-anyone who could listen to antd criticine a speech and enrry on the animated flirtation he did, with ai pair of pretty black eyes, is a prodigy ! Tile lieicicers all remarked the number of handsome gentlemen in the crowd, from the president of the college down to the students--our Baton Rouge dele gation sot excepted. This institution opens again on the first week in Sep tember. We should like to see its num ber of pupils doubled. This session, there was but one representative from Baton Rouge, Master Gray Avery. After partaking of the liberal hospital ity of Mrs. Campbell, l)r. Jones, Presi dent Andrews, Mr. Loud and others, we blindfolded Lugubrious until we were out of sight of the college building and started home, each repeating a Latin sentence learned in Jackson. Ours was "nllot compos nentis;" we don't care what it neanns. we meano to say it when ever we get a chance. When they came round taking up the collection, pienicers all sang out "impe cunious" in chorus. Shouldn't wonder if we got the medal offered by Professor Magruder; next year, for proficiency in the Greek language. We stopped for lunch at Olive Branch, and naturally enough, while resting beneath those grand old beech trees, our thoughts re verted to war-times, when a Tennessee battalion encunped here and for a long time tested se 1patriotism and genlero sity of this ncillhorhood. 'Twas hard to realize that this lonely road was no replete with the daring deeds and stir ring evenlts of the war. Here it was tha:it our gallant Capt. ID. Stuart so bravely defteidedt his native parish and lost his life in 1I(2. We were glad to get holme, bt sorry to separate our dle lightfuil party. One of r mriluumcr was a particularly happy, heIarty soul, who knew everybody we mlet, and whose fa utilimar face won ia cordial welcome in every holluse we entered. W'e are muacah tll, young to criticise old folks, but we dto lohve to see theunl clh'elrfil alld charit able. Sonme old people never seem to realiz tllhat other folks arc rinred ; but set abloult to raise, to tlheir otions, every body they mlleet, anld try to force them to suit their views. Another onlle of outr lllumber, like Lu gubrions, \\;uas a little iniclinedl to put on airs a:lilut Blaton louge, cistern water, etc., buit had all thle starch taken out of her by an ol( firiend shellellt, who caught lher ill her larlis, threw back her head, andi forthwith IlIroceelcdl to examine her niouthi, exclaimillng, as she did so, "''gootd graciouns, if Polly nin't got a mouthful of teetlh ! 'uln the sane age, and been a-glllm-- nin' it most flour years. ['Il goin' to sell out auild nlove to Baton RIouge." One instance of emigration lnot induced by the State-house. Everybody has a Mecca; Jackson is our slrinii, :alnL every year, when Peggy nicd oli Lugulbrions are hitched Iui for the pilgrimage to Jackson, the picluicers will be most cordially joined by LocA. Dr. F'. 31. lBrooks is at last actively plying his business in his elegant new store. This building, with its elegant new front, is lmuch larger and more com modious than his former stand, which will enable enable himi and his efficient core of assistants to supply the demands of customers with astonishing dispatch. Everything is arranged in the most per feet order and system, especially the handsome prescription counter and its attachments. Country dealers should remember that they can secure as good bargains in drugs from thisestablishment as in any Northern City. We take no small degree of pleasure in commnending this flourishing drug house to those of our renders who are as yet unacquainted with its enterprising lImlprietor and gen tlcmmaunly clerks. Our business men should not fail to take :'.lvantage of the excellent oppor tunity offered themi threNgh the medium of the proposition to run the steamer Carl Sechurz between this place and Waterloo. Such a line will be of im mense advantage to Baton Rouge. It will open a new avenue of business to this place, the proceeds of which are now reaped by other sections. What is needed is a line that will carry pas sengers and freight at such rates as will justify plafiters and others in coming to this place aboard of her to do their trad ing in person, and we feel sure Messrs. Fisher and Sharp have the necessary business qiualities to imakeoa complete success of the novemenlt. More anon. On Wednesday next, August 4th, the Board of Svnervisors of the Louisiana State University and A. and ,M. College will assemble in this city for the trans action of important business.
