FLORAL OrFrRl=as TO TFE DxAD.-The 2tth o
April, the day annually set apart by common consent
Of the ladies throughout the SoGtA for floral offerings
to the graves Of the Confederate dead, occurs this year
on Sunday. We learn from our exchanges that in
many places where orations will b, delivered, the Ger,
ernonies will come of on Saturday the 25th. Although
the cause for which these gallant soldiers gave up their
lives is lost, none can forget the noble sacriica they
made for what We all cherished aad prayed. Tie last
and most touching tribute we can pay them is the an
nuaI floral decoration Of their final resting places by
the hand Of their country women. There let her scat

MRS. GAINES FICToRIoUs.-The celebrated Gaines
case in which so many of the citizens of New Orleans
are interested, and which Mrs. Gaines has 50 persist
emily fought, has at last been decided by the United
States Supreme Court in her favor. 4 Washington
dispatch of the It'll, says Mr.. Justice Davis delivered
the decision. The court reviewed the whole case as
to the law and the facts. The opinion is favorable to
Mrs. Gaines regarding her legitimacy, the marriage of
Julienne Carri6re with Daniel Clarke, was valid. All
technical points were decided, in favor Of Mrs. Gaines,
and the court expressly stated that it considered this
decision conclusive and final. Daniel Clarke's will of
1918, as probated in Louisiana is / binding, and sales
by the executors under the will Of 1911 are declared
null, and purchasers must take the consequences.

HAVE YOU CHILDREN ?-If you have, will you con
sent that they shall be sent to schools, where scholars
are admitted, without regard to race or COLOR No,
no; you will educate your children in schools of your
own, before you will consent to social and educational
equality. Then, if the constitution is adopted, you
will be taxed to support d free school in each parish,
to which you would not and cannot send your own
children. There is no escape from this, but to defeat
the constitution. Vote against it, and see that every
man, under your influence or in your employment,
votes il the same way. He is not entitled to your
bread or money, if he is opposed to your just rights.

SHOOTING AFFAIR, &c, IN SEWER COUNTY, ARK.-The
Washington (Ark) Telegraph of the 3Ist ult., has
long account of a shooting affair and robbery, which
took place on the 18th ut. at Iait's Mills, a small place
in Sewer county, ARK, between Paraclifta and Rocky
named Cassius Turner, who kept a store at the above
place, some time ago employed one McClusky to do a
certain piece of work at a stipulated price, but when
the work was finished McClusky presented a bill for a
much larger amount, which was refused. This was ev.
identity what McClusky expected, as he came prepared
to force payment. Some few words passed between
them, when they commenced scufhing, but Turner not
being armed, and finding his antagonist was armed,
broke for the store where he expected to find arms
with which to defend himself, but they had been taken
away by the friends of McClusky during the scufae in
front of the store. While Turner was standing behind
the counter McClusky went to a window and fired upon
him with an army six-shooter, the ball passing through
his right leg below his knee, completely SCATTERING the
bone. While thus disabled he attempted to crawl to
a small room at the back of the store, where be was
again shot in the left thigh, causing a serious flesh
wound. The rascal then fired again, but without eff.
feet. McClusky then made his escape. Soon after
the shooting affair a young man named Powell, evil
IDENTITY an ally of McClusky, went to Turner making
great Eretensions Of friendship and offered to dress
his wounds and nurse him. His services were ac-
cepted. During the absence of Turner's friends from
the store this INSCRIPTIONS scoundrel went to the
money-drawer and stole all the money there, amount
ing to some $500, half Of which was gold. He then
left the store, joined bis friends and that night stole
mules from Mr.. Holman and left the country,
McClusky was arrested, and after a preliminary trial
before two weakened justices of the peace, was re-
.eased On bail. Mr.. Turner had his leg amputated

Advocate has been informed by 0 of the most in,

ALARMED AT THE Xxx K's.-We should Judge from
an Augusta ga dispatch Of the 9th inst, that Gen.
Meade is somewhat alarmed at the progress of the
Khan. He has issued an order which directs
the civil and military officers to arrest and bring to
trial all persons who may hereafter publish or in any
manner give circulation to incendiary publications of
secret organisations, now spreading through these
States" Ignorance of the existence Of these bodies
will not be received as an excuse for neglect. The
General is especially rigid in bis warning to newspa-
pe1s in respect to the publication Of the :" in6amma-
tory articles aforesaid. We quote /" Conductors of
newspapers are forbidden tc publish intiammatory ar
ticlcs. Any paper publishing matter tending to pro-
duce intimidation, riot or bloodshed, will be stopped
and the proprietors, editors and other persons con-
nected Herewith, will be tried before 4 military COM
mission, and on conviction will be subject to fine and
imprisonment" Gen. Shepherd, who commands the
sub-district of Alabama, has also issued similar order.

BY p, F sHILLABER.
''The Boy" is dead The restless heart is stilled
Its fierce ambition, recklessness and pride,
And all the swes ter attributes that thrilled
With passions fervency in,en ifed.,
His was no singing birds melliAuous note,
Whose cadence soft the heart enchanted heard,
But, trumpet.toned, the ambient air it smote,
And to its deepest depths the spirit stirred
Even the dulcet strain that love might breathe,
Couched tenderly in accent soft and low,
Was warm with smodering fires that burnt be-
meath,
limiting of lava and the craters glow.
His was the song that ne'ved the patriots hand
When wars fell clamor rang oe'r earth and
main;
He gave imself to his adopted and,
And ST. owe the perilled Union to maintain.
But when the note of war was laply hushed,
And all the tumut found glad surcease,
His was the song that with glad fervor gushed,
To welcome in the reign of sovereign peace.
Old strife ignored his hand was outward held,
lo grasp the hand that lately met his own,
On battle fields by deadlest hate impeled,
Forgetting war, when wars fierce blast was
blown.
His was the caustic pen that ever sought,
To prick the bubble Of vain pretense ,
He stroee by song, with wit and satire traught
To Danish wrong and bold incompetence.
But, with genius free as birds in May,
He'd leave, at times, the touch of mcanel
thinss.
And in the ampler ethers soar away
On Poe,y's most subimaied wings;
Or strike some tunerul strain, the humble ear
Could hear and treasure from lhs darling
"Boy,"- r.....r.
The one helov d, who fain lifes path would
cheer,
By strewing, along, the flowers of hope and
.. joy. ....r... .
Now, stilled the hand that struck the living Tyre
Dead to all lie, all honor and all pain
Quenched at its hight tue intellectual fire
Fallen to earth the proudly cherished lane .
But not f0rgOtten-no mere memory
To fade away as esser ones have flown;
For death, to such, is not to cease 10 be,
But still to live, in deeds as firm as stone.
