The unexpected result of last month's
elections seems to have produced a signif
icant change in the hysteric and oft-re
peated war-whoop of the New York Sun.
Instead of its former daily shout. "The
Republican party must go," the Sun isnow
content with an occasional expression of
the mild and harmless opinion that "The
Republican party ought to go."
SMALL Pox.-'There is only one new case
of small pox in Donaldsonville to report
this week and this is a light one. The vic
tim is a colored man named Casimir Mor
ris, living on Lafourche street near the
corner of Iberville, a locality where very
few people have occasion to go. All the
other cases are convalescent and one of Mr.
Pierre Laniry's children is the only person
in town besides Moris :lill confined to bed
with the disease.
A ComINo Evrrr.-At a called meeting
of the Terpsichorean Social Club, held last
Wednesday night, it was decided to give at
Phsenix Hall on the 8th of January a grand
fancy dress ball. This news will be re
ceived with joy by the youth and beauty of
our town and parish who have so often
been charmed by the brilliant entertain
ments which the Terps occasionally give.
We understand that many of the ladies are
engaged in making their costumes for the
occasion, and the gentlemen of the club
have ordered magnificent outfits from one
of the most popular costumers of the city.
The price of admission will be one dollar,
for gentlemen. The tickets will have num
bered coupons, and the holder of the lucky
number will get a magnificent silver set. It
is needless to say that the ball will be one
of the most brilliant affairs of the season.
