THE REPUBLICAN MEETING.
Onr frlssfl, the enemy, had tlieir

meetings, om is the afternoon and
one at night, at both of which Gov.

were adverumd for the three perishes

wu far from being a Imwling success
in point of outubera. Seats were free

one eould safely go out between acts

The noted incidents of the meeting
were the public confessions of faith
made by Gov. Knobloch and Senator
Romain, the notification of Judge
Beattie ot his nomiuatiou by the isew

Various booths were erected on the
ground, and in their general ap|iear
ance, under the mellowed light that
came from nninerous Chinese lanterns
and trout lamps on the stauds, they
presented a beautiful aighr. At each
booth were matrons and maiden?, the

in perambulating the fair grounds to
resist the inclination to drop a little of
his spare cash at th* different aland?.

Nerves
Mrs the Mettengert of Sente,—the Telegraph
System of the human body.
Nerves extend from the brain to every part
of the body aud reach every organ.
Nerves arc like fire—good servants but hard
masters.
Nerves are fed by the blood and are therefore
like it in character.
Nerves Will be weak aud exhausted if the
blood is thin, pale and impure.
Nerves will surely be strong aud steady if
the blood is rich, red and vigorous.
Nerves find a true friend in Hood s Sarsapa
rilla because it makes rich, red blood.
Nerves *lo their work naturally and well,—
the brain is unclouded, there are no
neuralgic pains, appetite and diges
tion are good, when you take

Blum & Son* donated two wooden

respectively l>y Mrs. H. Tetreau aud
Mr. Felix H. Richard.
The 'splendi*) ear-rings, ring and
gold cross contributed respectively by
Rev. A. Ditbourgand Messrs. Schwartz,
Kei w in & Fo?s, of New York, were
wou by Misses Euliue Carver and
Clara Bergeron.
Miss Maggie llogau received as her
reward for wooing the goddess For
tune a handsome lamp ; the coutilbu
tion of some New Oilean.s merchant,
through Mr Thus. Roger.
The soup ladle donated by Dr.
Sabatier fell to the lot of Mr. Jos.
Jeffries.
The gross proceeds of the tlir- e
nights' Festival exceed eighteen
hundred dollais. It is probable that
the net aiuouut realized wiil be about
fifteen hundred dollars. The exact
figures will be given in our next issue.
Considering the hard times through
which we are passing, the financial
success of tiie Festival is a matter for
congiatnlation to the ladies in charge
aud to the many friends of tlie good
Sisters, who worked early aud late
aud with nntirihg devotion to achieve
success. While all who assisted in
tlie undertaking in any way are en
titled to praise and will, no doubt,
receive it from the ladies and tlie
Sisters, yet. it is not invidious to say
that Mrs. J. A. Pnjos, by tier advice,
encouragement aud assistance in many
of the details of the Festival is entitl
ed to special mention. Among tlie
gentlemen, Mr. Frank Zernntt on the
three nights of the Festival and
after the entertainment was over
rendered most arduous and valuable
services, which were much appreeia
tad.
The Tliibodaux Band, under tlie
leadership of Mr. Emile Legendre, and
tlie Hellier Band of Ilduuin, the St.
Bridget band of Schriever and tlie Ii.
E. Lee band of Pugh, discoursed sweet
mujic from the kiosk on the grounds.
It will be well to mention in this eon
couuection that the services of these
bands were free for tlie, occasion.
On the first, and second nights of
the Festival a varied and interesting
program was executed at the St. Jo
seph's Hall and was much enjoyed by
all who were present. Tlie program
consisted of vocal and instrumental
music and recitations. Want of space
precludes an extended notice of tiie
exercises had on the stage of St. Jo
seph's H*li. The piano used on the
occasion was l<»aned by the house of
L. Grunewald. of New Orleans, through
Prof. Von Hofe, their traveling agent.
One peculiarity abiut this Festival
was the absence of the oeer stand,
which, at former fairs was always very
much iu evidence but which, on this
occasion was entirely wanting. Wiiiie
the sale of beer is undoubtedly profit
able, yet. there are many good people
wbo believe, that tiie pr- miscuous sale
of tlie beverage to whomever will buy
even to miuors at a public fair, is de
moralizing aud not conducive to good
order aud decorum. Be that as it may,
it is acknowledged on all hands, that
there has never been a fair or open air
entertainment in this parish, where
belter order and peace, aud hannony
prevailed, and the fact that there was
not a particle of hoodluinism or disor
der of any kind on the grounds, exci
ted the admiration of all. Another
fact wlr.ch elected favornbla comment
was the presence and co-operation of
persons of till denominations. The
idea that the Festival was given for
the purpose of adding to tiie accom
modations au;l usefulness of i he Monet
Carmel Convent was con.-idcred a suf
Ikient I'casnii fur :,li to contribute
