NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN SUNDAY APRIL u 1888
a arANrsm ANECpoTE.

The following beautiful lines on wilkes
conversation with a Geronomite friar in
some Spanish convent on the picture ofthe
Last Supper are from Moxons Selections
from Lord Houghton's poems
1t was a holy usage to record,
Upon each Refectorys side or end,
This last mysterious Supper of our Lord,
That meanest appetites might upward
tend.
Within the Convent-Palace of old Spain, .
Rich with tie gifts and monuments OF
kings,
Hung such picture, said by some to reign,
The sovereign glory of these WonurouS
things.
A painter of far.fame in deep delight
Dwelt on each beauty he so well discerned,
While in low tones a gray Geronomlte
This answer to his ecstacy returned
"stranger 1 have received my daily meal
In this good company now three score
years.
And thou, whoer thou art, canst hardly feel
How time these lifeless images endears'
''Lifeless--ah, no b,th Faith aud Art have
given
That passing hour life of endless rest,
And every soul who loves the food OF Heaven
May to that table come welcome guest
"Lifeless-ah, no while in mine heart are
stored
Sad memories Of my brethren dead and
gyne,
Familiar places vacant round our board,
And still that silent Supper lasting on.
'Whlle review my youth-what was then
What am now, and ye beloved ones all I!
1t seems as If these were the living men,
And we the colored shadows on the wall ~

BRAsHEAE CRY, April ., 1868.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,;
Dear St'-After pleasant trip on the
opelousas road, am here in good health
and spirits. Although a citizen OF Louisi-
ana for many years, this is my first trip
through this section of our state.
What sight this section is to the intelli.
gent practical eye! One vast waste of the
finest land in America, alternated with ex.
tensive prairie land and densely wooded
timberland, intersected by the most beau.
tltul streams, that at this season of the year
are naturally capable of the most complete
inland navigation, and the finest producing
soil in the world. As pass these wonder
full natural blessings, SO lavishly strewed on
every hand instinctively peer through the
dim vista of the future and exclaim, " o
Louisiana, how great, how prosperous, how
glorious future awaits thee when re.
ieyed of the incubus of sloth and of inn
practicable Missionaries thy destiny shall be
in the keeping of the indomitable carpet
baggers that will inevitably settle upon
these now waste lands and give life and
yigor to thy long dormant energies. Let
the enemies of thy political, social, and in.
dustrial reconstruction perish In their in
fanny, slOth, and stupidity, and the star of
my Iuture veal Will fast approach Its
zenith.n
find politics hereabouts the only evil
denee of life. The Republicans speak con
hdently Of carrying this parish triumphaEtly
for the regular ticket aud for glorious re.
construction. Until the last few days the
rebels Appeared totally Inert. But they
have suddenly woke up to catch glimpse
Of the now last receding offices that are
rapidly disappearing from their sight for.
ever; and such howl of disappointed rage
as they send up would frighten one who did
not know the real cause Of their disturbings
have always heard that the Talevsgs had
show In this parish; but IL their prospect
for office Is no better elsewhere than in st.
Mary, heaven pity their poor starving souls.
There is but one spot In the parish where
they can get rest Tor the solee Of their feet,
and propose tomorrow 20 knock this last
prop OF hope from under them.
As proceed in my tour ] shall give you
such facts as may tall in my way. Until
then, believe me as ever

OF Resolutions.
The Radical demonstration last night in
Washington square was an unquestionable
immense outpouring of the people. Al
though but little preparation had been
made or notice given, long before hightfall
thousands had gathered in the square for
the purpose of securing positions where
they might be certain to hear the speakers.
When the meeting was called to order the
assemblage nearly filed the square, and on
the four sides of the raised platform was an
immense concourse of listeners. Up to this
time but few clubs had arrived, but they
were heard in the distance and soon were
seen advancing with banners, Transparent
cies, torches, and martial music. On the
stand was splendid band Of musicians.
When short lull occurred Mr.. Blandin NOM
mated Major I. V. Copeland for president.
This gentleman advanced, and after few
words to the audience stated that Mr..
Vigers, one of the secretaries, would read
the list of vice.presidents and secretaries.
The following is the entire list of officers:

marx from the snip dark DoS0m,
The very sounds OF hell!
he ringing clank of IRON
The maniac's short, sharp yell -
the hoarse, low curse, throat stifed,-
The Starving infants moan
The horror of a breaking heart
Apree through a mothers groan,
Up frd p thai loathsome prison
The ickep blind ones came;
Below MI all been darkness
Above was still the same.
Yet the holy brpa of heaven
Was sweetly breathing 1ere,
And the heated brow of fever
Cooled in the soft sea air.
"0verboard with them, shipmates !"
Cutlass and dirk were piled;
Fettered and blind, one after one,
Plunged down the vessels side
The sabre smote above
Beneath, the lean shark lay,
Waiting with wide and bloody jaw
His quick and human prey.
God of the earth! what cries
Rang upward unto thee?
Voices of agony and blood,
From ship-deck and from sea.
The last dull plunge was heard
The last wave caught its STAIN
And the unsated shark looked up
For human hearts in vain.
Red glowed the western waters
The setting sun was there,
Scattering alike on wave and cloud
His fiery mesh of hair.
Amidst group in blindness,
A solitary eye
Gazed, from the burdened slaver's deck,
Into that burning sky.
"a Storm spoke out the gazer,
us gathering and at hand
Curse on't-pd give my other eye
For one firm rood of lan0.H
And then he laughed, but only
His echoed laugh replied
For the blinded and the suffering
Alone were at his side.
Night settled on the waters,
And on a stormy heaven,
While fiercely on that lone ships track
The thunder-gust was driven,
A sail thank God, saill
Aud as the helmsman spoke,
Up through the stormy murmur
A shout of gladness broke.
Down came the stranger vessel,
Unheeding on her way,
SO near, that on the slaver's deck
Fell of her driven spray.
"Hol for the love of mercy,-
We're perishing and blindp
A wall Of utter agony
Came back upon the wind;
Help u.s. for we are stricken
With blindness every one;
Ten days we've Aoated fearfully,
Unnoting star or sun.
Our ships the SLAYER Leon
We've but score on board
4tuf slaves are all unua nvnv-
/" Help,-tor the love of Godln
On livid brows Of agony
The broad red lightning shone-
But the roar Of wind and thunder
Stified the answering groan;
Walled from the broken waters
A last despairing cry,
As, kindhng in the stormy light,
The stranger ship went by.
In the sunny Guadaioupe
A dark-hulled vessel lay,
wilma crew who noted never
The nightfah OF the day.
The blossom Of the orange
y - white by every stream,
And tropic leaf and flower and bird
were IN the warm sunbeam.
And the sky was bright as ever,
And the moonlight slept as well.
On the palm.trees by the hillside,
And the streamlet of the dell:
And the glances Of the Creole
We're still as archly deep,
And her smiles as full as ever
Of passion and Of sleep.
But vain were bird and blossom
Inc green earth and the sky,
And the smile Of human faces,
10 the elavers darkened eve;
At the breaking u the morning.
At the sfar-lit es ening time,
Ger world Of light and beauty
Fell the blackness If his crime.
