Naturally we are a little timid, like a young father with his first bab}', but we must acknowledge, too, that we are a little vain, and we awkwardl}^ hold out our youngster, hardly knowing what to do with it, yet bashfullj' defying the world to show a finer child or a more lusty specimen of the young human animal than our first-born, considering its tender age. From the time of its birth, some three months ago, we have been coddling it and watching over it, like eleven jealous hens over one chick, and our kind friends have been making it the most beau- tiful clothes for its first appearance in public. But still, even after all was ready for the important event, we hesitated. The weather might be too cold for the dear little thing, or it might be afraid of the strange, new world, and then others might not see in it all 'the graces, and virtues, and perfections, which its fond parents delighted to find and magnify. So we put off bringing it out, until every one said that it was really too ridiculous, and that such a fine child ought to be given a chance to show his accomplishments to the expectant world. So now, with fear and trembling, we have put on all the pretty things our intimate friends have sent us, and we appear with our darling before the critical eyes of the public. With all the pride of new-young-papahood in our eyes, and an uncomfortable feeling of fear in our hearts, we wait for congratulations — or We must take this opportunity to thank our friends for the many beautiful baby clothes and finery we have received. We are indebted to all for their presents, but especially to Miss lyily Logan and Miss Edith Duggan, of Newcomb, and to Messrs. Huger Elliott, J. Castellanos, and F. Churchill, of Tulane, for their interest in little Jambalaya, and the many kindnesses which they have .showered upon him. THE EDITORS. May, i8g6. TULANE UNIVERSITY.

COPY B. : POETICAL JOTTINGS OF THE HISTORY OF LOUISIANA. —f-f — BY CHARLES UAYARPE The following quotations are taken from the History of Louisiana by Charles Gayarre, the eminent writer and historian, and will no doubt prove to be a very appropriate preface to this work, as it will admit a basis of comparison for "Louisiana as it is to-day." After a masterly and graceful preliminary the learned historian said "I am willing to apply that criterion to Louisiana, considered both physically and historically; I am willing that my native State, which is but a fragrant of what Louisiana formerly was, should stand and fall by that test, and do not fear to approach with her the seat of judgment. I am prepared to show that her history is full of poetry of the highest order, and of the most varied nature. I have studied the subject "con amore," and with such reverential enthusiasm, and I may say with such filial piety, that it has grown upon my heart as well as upon my mind.

  • Equality of Man Before His Creator”: Thaddeus Stevens’S Struggle for Radical Reconstruction on December 4, 1865
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES “EQUALITY OF MAN BEFORE HIS CREATOR”: THADDEUS STEVENS’S STRUGGLE FOR RADICAL RECONSTRUCTION ON DECEMBER 4, 1865 CURTIS ROYER SPRING 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in American Studies with honors in American Studies Reviewed and approved* by the following: John Haddad Professor of American Studies Thesis Supervisor Anne A. Verplanck Associate Professor of American Studies Faculty Reader Ronald A. Walker Associate Professor of Mathematics Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College i ABSTRACT December 4, 1865 remains one of the least remembered dates in American history. Yet, the implications of the events of that day affect us even today. United States Representative Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania (1792-1868) worked with fellow Republicans in the House of Representatives to bar Southern representative-elects from taking their seats in Congress on December 4, 1865. This thesis explores December 4 as a pivotal date to both the United States and the career of Stevens. If the Southern representative-elects, some of whom were former Confederate officials, were permitted to take their seats in Congress they may have worked with Northern Democrats to reverse the progress made by Republicans during the Civil War by permanently manipulating the Thirteenth Amendment to reinstate a form of slavery. Southern legislatures had already begun the process of recreating a slave-like system with the black codes. Stevens found these codes to be highly disturbing. Instead, Stevens consulted the Constitution and effectively barred the Southern delegation from Congress.

They record the social, political and economic lives of rich and poor, female and male, slave and free, African, Native, European and American colonials. Although the majority of the cases deal with attempts by creditors to recover unpaid debts, the colonial collection includes many successions. These documents often contain a wealth of biographical information concerning Louisiana’s colonial inhabitants. Estate inventories, records of commercial transactions, correspondence and copies of wills, marriage contracts and baptismal, marriage and burial records may be included in a succession document. The colonial document collection includes petitions by slaves requesting manumission, applications by merchants for licenses to conduct business, requests by ship captains for absolution from responsibility for cargo lost at sea, and requests by traders for permission to conduct business in Europe, the West Indies and British colonies in North America **************************************************************************** RECORD GROUP 2 SPANISH JUDICIAL RECORDS Acc. # 1849.1; 1867; 7243 Acc. # 1849.2 = playing cards, 17790402202 Acc. # 1849.3 = 1799060301 1769-1803 190.5 ln. ft (381 boxes); 2 oversize boxes Like the judicial records from the French period, but with more details given, the Spanish records show the life of all of the colony.
