Tho regular summer wcuthor, such as novelists delight to tell of and bards sing about, was on hand yesterday, but tho gentle 7.ephyrs were conspicuously absent.

In the forenoon it was cloudy and almost sul-tro. It continued warm and oppressive until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon when the rain poured, the thunder roared and tho lightning flashed so vividly and rapidly as to almost blind and deafen one. After the shower ceased the evening was ambrosial. Tho rain came in good time as it effectually laid the dust, which was a considerable source of annoyance to pedestrians. In other words, there, will bo no excuse for not attending divine worship to-day if you so do-sire.

The attention of the Pelicans is to a notice which appears in another column. A heavy rain fell yesterday which was much needed by the dusty streets, the market gardeners and tho planters. Wa hope it was general. Don't invest in a straw hat until you have examined tho elegant stock at M. Levy's, corner of Texas and Spring streets, comprising all the latest styles.

Capt. S. M. of the Standard, yesterday received his commisson a3 delegate to the Cincinnati convention from this, the Fourth Congressional district. Our young friends, Fulton C.

Fort and J. B. Hughes have formed a copartnership for the purpose of conducting a hide and wool business. They will open in tho Bois-seau cotton warehouse on Milam street. They are intelligent, enterprising and reliable young men and perfectly familiar with the business, and will no doubt succeed.

"Wo learn, from tho Marshall Messenger, of Friday, that Col. Noble, Major Wathen, resident engineer of the Texas Pacific, and Major Green, engineer of tho New Orleans Pacific, left Marshall Wednesday morning to make the trip over the route of tho JS ew Orleans Pacific road. They went by rail as far as Waskom station, thence by horseback and by hack over tho entire line of the proposed road. At a meeting of the Merchants' Exchange held yesterday, Mr. Burwc'd A.

Holmes was elected secretary. 'Lavie'tv of tberelition ship existing between Mr. Holmes and the editor of the Timbs, it might not be con- sidored in good taste for us to speak in such terms of him as his business reputation and general character deserves. We can, however, with due propriety say that tho selection is an excellent one. Leon Carter, corner of Texas and Spring streets, keeps constantly on sale a full and fresh supply of medicines, oils, garden and German millet seeds, funey articles, fine breech and muzzle loading shotguns and ail kinds of ammunition.

"Paul," a thorough proficient in the art, is at the head of the prescription department. Mr. Carter is eminently worthy of tho patronage of the public and certainly deserves success. One of tho most deserving business men in Shreveport is our young friend Leopold Wolf. He is always quietly affable, liberal and reliable.

He baa recently removed his grocery store from Milam street to No, 39 Texas street, where he kee on sale staple and fancy groceries, fresh and sweet butter, egg, etc, all of which he sells at very moderate prices. Give Le.qn.ld a trial and, our word it, you will not regret it. IIomi, Sweit Home. What is home without one of Foster Carter's new Wheeler Ac. No.

Texas street. It is with pleasurable pride that we refer to the fact that few places in the South can boast ot as fine and livery sale stable as Shreveport. The M.s.ouri stables, of which Mr. D. Co per proprietor, is probably one of the and bes-t equipped in the State, lie Las lately added to bis stock a large cumber of fine young saddle and harness horses, Uo a number of handsome phaetons, carriages, buggies and hack wLkb ae let on th most reasonable terms.

We see going the rounds of the press a flattering article of Geo. 1. Rowoll Go's, newspaper agency. That is all well enough in its way, but bow newspapers cim aiTord to insert advertisements at the farcical rates this agency offers is a puzzle we never could make out.

Wo venturo to say that nine-tenths of the papers that accept' thoir rates, charge their home patrons from three to five hundred per cent more than they do Messrs. Kowell Co. Wo do not question the promptness ol the agency in paying only object to the amount. The new truck ordered somo time sinco by l'elican llook and Ladder Company No. 1 will arrive to-morrow from New Orleans by the steamer Sil vcr City.

By reference to another column it will be seen that a cordial invitation is extended to the entire fire department to assist in the reception of the now machine to-morrow afternoon at 5 o'clock. We acknowledge the rocoipt of an invitation to bo present at the engine house and partake of the refreshments liberally provided by the liberal Pelicans. The Monroe Bulletin of the 21st, speaking of the first meeting of the Grand Lodge of tho Knights of Pythias of Louisiana at Monroe on tho 5th of May, says: "The lodge room is large and has been fitted up in the most elegant style. No pains or ex pense will be spared to mako the convoca tion a pleasure to the visitors and an honor to tho resident members. It will conclude with a grand supper in honor of the distin guished guests.

Many of the best men in the community aro active members of Sttnewall Lodge and would carry honor and success to any institution to which they would givetheir time and attention." All who have dealt with Mr. S. G. Drey fus, corner of Texas and Sring streets, know him to be unqualifiedly reliable; that he telects only such goods as he knows to be fresh and acceptable; owning his own store he can sell materially lower than he otherwise could, and being satisfied with very modest profits his prices aro but slightly above those of the wholesalo New York dealers. Is it not, therefore, expedient for purchasers of dry goods, ready made clothing; boots, shoes and hats to test the correctness of the foregoing by examining the ample stock offered by this strictly reliable house.

It is generally admitted that few people understand tho value of money lifit while the rule holds good of all coin and currency, it is especially truo a3 to the nickel five-cent piece of American coinage. The most parsimonious of misers is likely to bo as ignorant of tho full value of this littlo coin as the most profligate of spendthrifts is. The explanation is that tho nickel has a scientific valuo quito apart from its purchasing power. It is, in fact, in itself the key to an entire system of metric weights and measures. Its diameter is two centimetres, and its weight is five grammes.

Five of them in a row mako a decimet re, and two of them weigh a decagramme. As tho kiliolitro is a cubic measure, tho key to the measures of length is also tho key to measures of capacity. The citizens living along and contiguous to Texas avenue will be pleased to learn that that model grocer, Mr. F. A.

Daugher- ty, after to-day will keep constantly on hand a large supply of ice, which ho will supply-to families in large or small quantities. IIo will also during the summer season keep on ice for family uso bottled beer, ale and porter. In addition to his already complete stock of choice family and fancy groceries, he yesterday received several boxes of Imperial and Oolong tea, which, as tea drinkers know, is an extra article. All goods pur cnascd ot Sir. JJ.

will be delivered in any part of tho city free of chargo. To tho uninformed wo desire to say his establishment is immediately opposite the old Texas hotel, on Texas avenuo. The return of spring infuses now life into animal and vegetable creation. Tho winter ulster is exchanged for tho linen duster; the thick felt tile is supplanted by a light straw or the latest covering out for the head for spring and summer wear. Men, women and children lay aside their winter toggery for the handsome spring suits thrt meet their eye as they pa up and down the principal business streets.

When it comes to straw hats for men and boys, ladies and misses, Phelps, at No. 32 Texas street, has got them in endless variety, all of the latest styles, made this season and especially for this market. Of his st.ck of shoes it is hardly necessary to say that it embraces everything in the way of covering fr the feet. He has no linen dusters, but ho has a magnificent line of umbrellas, silk, alpaca and gingham, which are much more seryicablo, and proportionately muih cheaper. In short there is no artic le in the way of head and footwear, but what can be found at Phelps' and what is still more important, his prices are so low as to almost defy competition.

For some time past Mr. Henry Hol.ner, proprietor of that popular resort for gentlemen, the Two Brothers saloon. No iio Texas street, has been making preparations fr tho summer season by refitting and renovating bis establishment and enlarging and beautifying tho garden in the rear of lb saloon. For tha first limo this season the garden, mhich Las been considerably enlarged, was opened last night to the pub-! no i. i.nnusoiurjjF uiunniiHiea wun and Chinese lanterns and decorated with flags of n-rcral Tho attendance was quite laree and a most enjoyable evening was spent by all present.

Under the auspices of Henry Holzntr, as proprietor, and Henry Diliet.bcrgcr, nw.sger, the garden will prove a most plea-ant resort lor gentlemen who desire to while away an hour or two ol an evening. There the best of beer and the purest liquors and inei are difjicndsed, while at the lunch tULd will be found all the bles and delicacies of the season, which are strvc-i for a very small consideration. Those who bavo visited him onco will call again. That is what every ono says whd have over called 'at the unique confectionery establishment of Jules Guerro, on Mrrket street. liaised up in the confectionery trade, ho knows how to ploase every one.

To-day he invites his friends, customers and the public generally to call at the haven of all that is sweet, inspect his stock, and ho is assured they will not go away displeased. He is at all times supplied with tho purest of ice cream, and tho coldest of mead the only fountain in the city and soda water. Rood's Gilt Edge Tonic cures dyspepsia. Lighter clothes being in order, it is well to remind the public where they can bo had in all the latest stylos and at moderate prices. The new stock recoived by M.

Levy, proprietor of the Emporium of Fashion, corner of Texas and Spring streets, comprises tho most desirable selections for spring and summer wear in cassimere, flannel and black drap d'ete suits, linen coats, pants and vests, light underwear and fancy ties, all made to order for his custom city trade- The styles are the very latest out and tho materials and make up are such as to satisfy the most fastidious. Drop in whether you want to buy or look. It is no trouble for Louis, Aaron or James to show goods. Tho testimony of the witnesses beforo the exodus committee in many instances was fearfully garbled by the press dispatches. We have before alluded to the case of Capt.

J. M. Foster. Capt. R.

T. Vinson informs us that ho was incorrectly 'reported. The dispatches made him say that the merchants defrauded the negroes, and that one negro was worth five white men as laborers, lie said nothing of tho kind. Uo simply said that the negroes spent their money injudiciously; that if they were frugal they could rabidly accumulate property, and that in eomcynstanees their condition was improved by emancipation and in others not. As regards tho relative merits of blacks and whites as laborers, he said ho preferred the former in the alluvial or bottom lands because their constitutions enabled them to resist the depressing effects of the heal and malarial influences.

On the hill lands, however, he would prefer intelligent while labor. We mako this correction in justice to Captain Vinson, us erroneous impressions have gone abroad in reference to the character of his testimony. A special from Washington, published some days since, staled that 51 r. Voorhces complimented him very highly upon his testimony.

In reply I would state that 1 had a roof painted about two years ago with the Gum Elastic paint. My roof is doing well and looks as nice and as fresh as when it was finished. Aline is on a flat tin roof that leaked pretty badly; the paint not only improved tho looks of tho roof but stopped the leaks in the same. It has been used hero by a number of our citizens, and from observation I am satisfied that it is considered a valuable paint. Should I build again I should paint my roofs with it.

SHUEVIOUT, La Reed Gilt Edtfo Tonic cures swamp fever. IN MEMORIAM OK MRS DELIA KENNEDY. Death spares noither young nor old all succumb to the fell destroyer; but it affords abundant consolation to know that if ho is terrible to some, he is robbed of his te rror in a great many instances. The faithful Catholic, ever mindful ot tho end of his creation, remembers that his stay here below is but short, and; therefore makes the best use of the time at his disposal. Daily petitions to Jesus ascend from his soul that, at the last hour tho necessary strength would be giyen to him, and that all would bo made easy.

Such petitions Jesus could not refuse, and when the last hour does come it brings with it, instead of dreadand four, nothing but longing for rest, and a confident hopo of a blessed eternity. Beautifully exemplified were tho above sentiments in the life, in the death, of Mrs. Delia Kennedy, whose demise occurred on April loth, in Shreveport. In tho prime of life she was cut down, and such a life 1 usefulness as sho seemed to have before her! It seemed hard to break the life strings, but bowing meekly to the will ot her Heavenly Father sho resigned herself, and as the end drew near, fortified with all the sacraments, which our Holy Mother, the church, bestows upon her children in this world, she met death firmly, and full ot hope passed calmly into eternity. Of rare modc-ty in demeanor and retiring habits, sho possessed a winning charm, attracting the hearts of all who mado her acquaintance, and her sincerity, her charity, her gentle, kindly ways kept them ever bound; to her.

Sho will bo missed, and her absence bewailed throughout a wide circle of friends. But who can measure thoanguish of tho bereaved husband? He will find consolation only in tha faith which carried her blameless through life and enabled hor to die so peace fully. She has passed from our midst, leaving us a bright example and the memory of tha happinoss which she diffused so naturally upon all around her. Lot us remem ber that in the communion of saints we may still Tender her most valuable services. If there remain any stains from which she must be cleansed before entering into tho full enjoyment of the vision of a God of infinite purity, our holy religion affords us abundant means by prayers and sacrifice of shortening the time of her probation.

He also deals largely in ladies' and children's shoes from the best manufactory in Baltimore, a city renowned throughout the world for hand-somo and elegantly dressed ladies.
