The dancing platform was placed to the right of the grounds nnder' a cluster of trees, the branchep of which jnterlacing over-head formed natural arches from which de pended axi0e*al qaoonse of moss, ]paves and elo.ers, the whole illupnipted by myriads of Chinese lanterns of variegated hos-. #!et opposite the house was raised the monogram of ti clulti formed with different colored lamps and to the left was laid the supper and refreshment tables. Long before the arrival of the Indepegdent Band, which furnished music for the eea siole crowds of invited guests had reached the place' and were entertained tby the firing off- of sky-rockets and other ~ye works. The dancing was commenced at 'about half-pat a o'dlock and was kept up until lbroad daylig t. From 11 to an early bour of the morning tje sgpppr tables were crowded. It is impossibh to state exactly thp num ber of persons piresent, but from the regis ter kept of the visitors it was estimated that there must have bpee betwen' seven and eight hundred. There were at one time some forty-two sRts of dancers on the floor. Altogether it was a grand affair and the Wenonah Social Club well deserves the repu.ttion for success thoroughly achieved which it has so justly gained. Commencemnent Exercises.

THE IBERIA ELECTION. Gov. McEnbry has desiguated Tuesday, November 2, as the date for holding the special election for District Judge in the Iberia district. This will be the date of the Congressional election and the action of the Governor in selecting it is to be commended, both on the score of econtomy and the increased chances afforded for a free 'ballot and fair count. Judges Fonte lieun land Gates, erstwhile rival claimants of the Judgeship, are both reported to have declared they .ill not be candidates, and the absence of this disturbirig feature ought tP remove any pretext for the em ployment qf saeh mnans as were used in 188k to carry the district in opposition to the will of the majority of its voters. The reasqn assigued by the friends of Judge Gates for pis unwillingness to be come a candidate is an avowed determina tion on his part to retire from further ac tive participatioq In politics; and Judge Fontelian could not enter the field without a virtual relinquishment of his claim that he is rightfully entitled to tlhe office by vir tue of election in 1884, an ack-owledg ment that he .nwilling to n;lke. 4icension Gun Club.

Our Neglected Industries. EDIuon Cmru : July, 1880. During a discnusion in the 8nate a few days ago n the-Post-office Appropriaion Bill some facts of interest to American workinpgren were dwelt on by the advocate of the policy as Pro tection. Referring to the report of the Labor aomissione-s, in which it was stated that oke million of men were out of work in the country. -ienator Prye pointed out the fact that we im ported last year from Britain $837,000,000 worth of cotton goods, altough we raised the cotton, and every dollar's rortho~ these fabrics could and ought to i.ave been made here, thereby giv ing employment to at leastyone hundred thou sand men, Je showed, mermoalr, that we im poated last year $43,000,000 worth 9f woolen goade, $40,0000) worth of iron and steel man ufactures, $19,000,000 worth of linen, 8,,0000000 worth of jute, ,Axd $97,000,000 worth o>' silks, all of which we could have manufactured our, selves and thereby have given enmpl.yraent to hrlf a million more of our idle people. epji to the objections of those who, while quite wil ling to pay the steamers of foreign nations whatever aumn they chose to demand for carry ing our mails, were opposed to paying our own vessels a reasonable compensation for the same service, Mr. Frye called attention to the fact that " Britain last year, paid more money for carrying her mails to South anc Central Amer ica alone tuman the United States pay in any two years for cerrying all her mails the w6rld over. She paid last year 01.700,000 for her mails to China, Jalpan.4d 4nstralia, and we paid $11,000. The effect of this is seen in the fact that lritain through her well paid steamship lines 'to all parts of the world is enabled to find mar kets everywhere for her manniactures, and t"at thb United States under the present system is utterly unable to compete with her in this respect. If American manufactures are desired, for instance in Brazil, they must usually be first sent to Liverpool-on English vessels, and after such delay there as will suit the purpose of British merchants or manufacturers they will be forwarded to the South American Empire. This state of things should not be allowed to continue. Great as would be the advantage to American workinugmen of having markets for their productions easily accessible in all parts of the world, the direct advantages accruing to them from a revival of our ship-building trade would be no less important. Tens of thousands of men would find remunerative employment in building vessels required for our purposes and labor would n. longer seek in vain its just reward. It is of the utmost importance to the nation at large to encourage this too-long neg locted branch of industry, and the National Legislature will show its wisdom and patriot meim lby taking immediate steps to revive and maintain it. PROTECTIVE TARIFF. A CAUDAL LECTURE. Continuantion or Prolosgition of the Tales of the New River Tiger. IIGPe VILLA, La., ErDITon CHIEF: July 13. 1816. In your issue of July 3 appeared two state ments captioned '"I'wo Tales of a Tiger." I think it would have been more in keeping with facts to have headed the article "Two Tails to a Tiger." for when first that ferocious beast was killed, well-informed individuals -among whom was New hirer's greatest Nimrodl-said the animal had a short tail and resembied a spotted hyena more than any animal he had ever seen. Others who had seen the varmint said its candal extremity was rather short for a tiger. Now wa are rctliably infqrmod that the m~irpal was a genuine American tiger and had a long tail. We suppose this is a freak of na ture, the cropping out of a "gonuin. long tailed American tiger" on New Rivor, as ,w hear that section has been inhabited by quite a differint species of the tribe, whose caudal ap pendages were scarcely visible. We out here haturally conjecture which phase of Darwin's theory is here exempliiiced, the progressive or retrograding. It is not to be wondered at that this car nivorous beast sholilappear in the section he did and tist he 'should nreatae onsideriable fear in the minds of the people is quite natural. Messrs. Brown and Uiseon are much relieved to know the coast is clear and danger over. They only regret the news has been delayed so long and that you have not afforded therp the plea sant duty of thanking the unknown individual for his kind remembrance. Print says the em bargo has been raised too late to axail himself of those cotton seed for this season, bat hopes they'll keep. Also say, he ,Fsuld a.t have been deterred by the common, short-tailed tiger, as lie has often mot them, but he could not venture down with the chances of encountering a "genuine long-tailed tiger." particularly as it was reported there was a spotted hyena or man-eater in the immediate vicinity. The denizens of this neck of woods are glad to see that an interest in journalism has not suffered in consoequence of tl)e historical inci dent, and confidently expect that when in thee pounre of future evqts ton;se public-spirited pitizen of the infested seigion shall deej~ it wise and perchance profitable to start a journal in tliat locality, the leader we suggest will findi space in its colusne and will contain 4 graphic cdlaoriltion n6 hietoryof the notable incidebt, to the end that this and future generations will be posted as to what dilld occur in the premises. You can rest aassured all this will be of interest to MAN('IIA'. A. B. S. P.
