But I have not told you about our trip
down Tuesday. It was very enjoyable,
owing to the representatives of the Louis
iana Press being board. How could
it be otherwise, wfi'lolisten to the
witty repartees of thre editor IEFs
and gallant remarks of t ian
scribe and others. , They were ost .'ir
way to the Creseant City to partake of
an elegsnt supppr, by invitation of Major
E. A. Burke of the N. O. Democrat. I'm
sure they had as delightful a time as
they anticipated, 94 I regretted that it HoUa
was not any other 5vening than that, of
the soiree, so that I might have been one
of that gay party. On Wednesday I
heard a short but glowing account of in all
their visit, and also of the magnificent
new press of the Democrat, and I'm pos- guaran
itive that all our country editors will be Sells
devoured by the green-eyed monster, paints,
Jealousy, and be wild with envy for tion ar
some time to conime. There was an inter
esting little episode on our down trip.
The local editor of the Adrocate came souvill
very near missing the train, in fact, did
miss it, and running to overtake it, be
came exhausted, and just as he jumped LA
into the car, fainted. Such excitement!
three or four editors rushed to his assist
ance, we ladies sent a fan and would
have offered our services, but no more
attention was necessary than was shown.
