iBATON ROUGE AUG 6, A lie flea like a swallow.;, multi ,plies itself lile the caterpillar; is ac-o cepted everywhere like the visits of a king; it is a royal guest for w'hom the gates fly open and the crowds ap plaud. The Farmerville Gazette says: "A crazy man, crazed by benzine, want edto kill all the lawyers in town last week. Let him wait until our next court, when he will have more sub jects, and can commence with the judge." A cocked revolver was found in a mnail bag at Boston. The package was addressed to a young lady at Nor wood, Rhode Island, to the care of . another young lady. The fellow whd mailed it should be incontinently hung if he could be found.

It afforded us pleasure to be in 'formed that this model establishment Swas the result of hone skill and in dustry. The building was erected ? under the immediate supervision ol Mr. Jas. Mallon; brick workby Messrs Jno.'Garentine and Tony Pino, car penter work by Mr. J. J. Castello and sons, al of our city. The machinery, steam train and boilers from our enterprising frin'end Mr M. J. Williams, have worked to entire satisfaction and are indeed well worth inspection by those who contemplate improvements of a like nature, as they combine all modern improvements and are a model of simplicity ofstruc ture, withcompactnessand durability, 'Th'le vacuum pan, centrifugalsand other machinery appertaining to same was nmanufactured and erected by that truly enterprising and substantial firm of Messrs. Shakspeare, Smith & Co., of New Orleans. The pan is what is known as a dry vacuum. Eight feet diameter, with a capacity of 15,000 pounds sugar at a strike. Mr. Von Phul is very enthusiastic in praise of the perfect working of all the machinery furnished by these gen tlemen. Not only.is the pan and its appurtenances a grand success, but Messrs. Shakspeare. Smith & Co.,have the happy faculty of giving their pat rons not only perfect machinery, but the gentlemen sent to erect same are (models of competency and despatch. Too much cannot be said in praise of Chief Engineer, Mr. J. McDonald and his able assistant. Mr. Maver. Mr. Von Phul fully believes that if von want general satisfaction, get your machinery from Shiakspeare's Foundry. Firo tilhe a;bove description, it will be readily seen, that this establish inent is capable of doing a very large busines,.

There is no doubt but by the use of the vacuum pan you get more sugar from a given quantity of cane juice. 3d, the quality of sugar is infinitely better. Ud, this is a very great saving of fuel, time and leakage. Having examined samples of sugar made at the Factory, we do not hesi tate to say it compares favorably with any sugar of the kind in the market -and then youknow it is pure sugar. No niedicine, no poison. We sincerely trust that the Holly wood Central Factory will receive a liberal share of patronage and cor dially recommend the estabhshment to our friends. Chief Inspector Parker of the post oftice department, hals received infor mnation of the arrest in Colorado of H1am White, the noted mail robber and desperado, formerly of Texas. In April. 1877 White was convicted in Texas of highway robbery of the United States mail and sentenced to imprisonment for life at Moundeville. W. Va. He was the daring high say man, who it was known, had murdered a number of men. The president was indluced to pardon White last spring. This, it is throught, was done with out the full knowledge of White's crimes. Immediately upon receiving his pardon he entered upon his career as a highwlyman, organized his gang and robbed stages in Texas, Arkan sai, New Mexico and Colorado. He will be brought to trial at once in Colorado. Louis Iloch gives the followtng warning to the Shreveport policemen: "One of the city policemen, I was iuiorimied by my wife when I. came homne to-night, shot at my dog in my yard during the day. I wish to warn him, or any of them against a repeti-. tion of such conduct, as they may discover that I am a better marksman ^'an they are." 15 Y Several years 'ago, when gl peVadeOthe minds 4 people B Louisiana And of t6 iOresoit City -whose commerce was dwindlng away month after maonth, E, f. r Wheelock, known then as a wholeea1s t druggist of that city, pereeiving that - New Orleans was being sAin of her - trade by her rivals, was seized with the diterfhination to hgp her to re - gain the better portion of her losses t by urging the construction of a rail - road that would strike tli Red River 1 valley and Northeastern Texa He set to work at once, calling Hupon the business men and property -holders to unite their means and in fluence to achieve the great consum mation he had in view. The aid he received was insufficient to do more than grade a considerable portion of the road-bed. The citizens of New Orleans, when called upon to vote a tax, refused to do so, and Mr. Wheel ock ruined in means, but undismayed in his courage and resolution, con tinued his efforts, reduced then to the niero advocacy of the construction of the great railway. There was a time, even, so we have been told, when men shrugged their shoulders whe hen described the great benefits which would ac crue to Louisiana and the profits the road would give to the capitalists who would furnish the means for its com pletion. Never flinching in his purpose, af ter exhausting his influence among the capitalists of New Orleans, he sought those of the East, and at last Mr. Gould was convinced and his means pledged to the achievement of the grand undertaking. The man of iron will and indomi table pluck had wrenched success over obstacles that would have ap palled almost any other but him. Within a few weeks the New Orleans Pacific will be numbered among the great and the richest railroads of the United States. The man who hias brought this about is no other than E. B. Whee lock, who has entitled himself to the everlasting gratit ade of the people of New Orleans and of the State, among whom should be neither least nor last those of the restored Capital of Louisiana. Our people had suflered so many disappointments in the matter of railroads, that they had come to the belief that many years would roll around erc they would be joined to the great roads of the country by iron linku. The last doubt was removed on yesterday, nt 1:2E P. si. when amid the booming of cannon from this side, the first railway passenger train made its appearance across the river and stopped at a point opposite the new Capital. To be sure that we were not mis taken,we crossed the river with many othern and approached the iron horse which was puffing and soon steamed away towards New Orleans. Baton Rouge is happier since then and it seems as thoiglh people move about faster than heretofore, and that there arc more of them on the streets. Only ninety-eight miles to New Orleans, a run that as soon as the road will have become firm, we can hope to make. in less than four hours! Is there not good reason to re joice ? A STANDARD (?) OF COLORS. And now comes the plaintifft through the Advocate, under the name of "Economy" who, being bad off to fipd something to growl at enters a complaint against the City Council because it has seen fit to follow the usage among private individuals and municipalities, by making provision to present a set of colors to- the new steamer "City of Baton Rouge." To sustain his complaint "Econo my" boldly swells the cost of the colors "to two or three hundred dol larsor, more." wlreas the true amount is but one hundred dollars. His public spirit moves him to sug gest that the Councilmen should ac knowledge/the compliment paid to every citizen of Baton Rouge, by foot ing the bill out of their own pockets. In a word he is willing, patriotically, to sacrifice his ·mncle, his cousins and A r 0, had mad to geta m men of *Snat and literal i while re-es g the crtedt 'ity, went aosely to .ibh about the e on of the C4a1, Besides using ciously, as the r-e quel has shown, the city's funds, they spent their own means and time ahbd succeeded in achieving that consum mation, the effects of which are visi ble through the improvements that are going on all over the city, and not later than yesterday, by the ap pearance of a railway train opposite the new Capitol. Our mechanics find no difficulty in procuring work from which they are enabled to give bread to their fami lies. In fine, the most hoptal feeling, very justly pervades the community. And now that a new steamer is about to appear on our great river, bearing on her wheelhouse, as-a com pliment, the name of Baton Rouge, there is found a man who cries out against an appropriation of one hun dred dollars, to present the fine ves sel a set of colors. It is so small a matter that we feel the blush of shame cover our -cheek when we see this action brought out in the public prints. People of the Capital of Louisiana would you refuse to present a one hundred dollars set of colors to the steamer City of Baton Rouge I And if so, what do you expect the citizens of your State to say of you. We are proud to think that such men honor the CAIPITOLIAN by not seeking its columns for the purpose of giving publicity to such pitiable com plaints. We here say it without hesitation that we will never represent such an element of our community, which we know is, fortunately for the public good, in a very small minority. We wish to represent the liberal minded and progressive element of this city, the large majority, we are happy to say. It is time that public sentiment should exhibit itself to put the sl1 of its condemnation upon such comprain ants, whose publications belittle us as a community in the eyes ot the world. We are ashamed to read such re criminations in a public journal of our city. A special to the News from Corei cana says: "Deputy Sheriff Cubley and posse started out Thursday for the residence of.a couple of cattle and horse thieves named Wesson, with warrants for their arrest. Meeting the men they ordered them to sur render. Dan Wesson said he would die first, and attempted to draw hlis revolver, whereupon the deputy sher hf sent a bullet through his brain.
