THE WORKlNGMEN's TICKET.

The Radicals affect to sheer at the
nomination of Davis and Parker by
the workingmen, but they cannot
conceal their uneasiness at the event.
It is certain that this ticket will give
them great deal of trouble, and its
nomination is important as being the
first indication of movement out
side of the Democratic party against
the reelection of General Grant to
the Presidency. Of late years the
dissatisfaction of the workingmen OF
the North with the laws regulating
labor in some of the Northern States
has been constantly on the increase,
and has reached extensive proper
tons since the rapid increase in num-
bers and Influences the Information
al Society on both sides of the Allan
tic. These agitating working-men
arc generally members of the Radical
party, and their willingness to cut
loose from trammels~in order to adj
vance their interests is one of the
signs of the times. In many of the
large Northern States these men viii
hold the balance of power, and vii
be able to throw these states fol

to them should be added those dis
affected liberal Republicans, VIII

THE BURIED HOPE.

Aye, fold its little baby hands,
This was a hope, you had OF old;
Fillett the brow, with rosy bands,
And kiss its locks Of shining gold.
Somewhere within the sea OF years,
Another hope may come like this;
But this poor babe is gone in tears
With white lips cold to thy kiss.
In summer, q little heap of flowers,
In winter q little drift of snow;
And this all, through all the hours
Of the promise, persisted long ago
Aye every heart is full of graves,
Close hidden in its Joy, and care
Till DER it, gusts of memory wave,
And leave the tiny maidstone bare

The Democratic Meeting.

We call attention to the call for a
Democratic mass meeting issued to-
day by the central committee of the
Parish. We hope to see large turn
out of the unterrified Democracy of
the Parish. The object of the meeting
is to send delegates to the State Con-
vention which meets in New Orleans
on the 18th of April. We have al
ready stated that, that Convention is
not called for the purpose of nomina-
ting a state ticket. 1t is called simply
for the purpose of getting together the
leaders of the party for consultation as
to the best means of conducting a sue.
cessful campaign against the Radical
party at the coming election. Nobody
has the right to commit the Demo
cratic party to any particular line Of
conduct except the Democratic party
itself. The Importance of the Con
vention cannot be over estimated. Or
the wisdom which shall guide Its coun
ellis depends, in our opinion, the ques
ton whether the Radical party is t.
be defeated or not. If all the Conser
vative elements are to be combined
on common ticket, the Democratic
party, which comprises more THAI
three fourths of the conservative
voters of the State, will of course
have the burden of the task in arranS
ing the combination. We hope there
fore, to see no firebrands thrown int
the Parish meetings. Let all thing
be conducted tremendously and let al
disputed questions be adjourned t

who resides on Walker street, near
the Union depot, was out in the street
celebrating the festival after the
fashion of boys, with fire crackers,
gunpowder and other combustibles.
In his hands he had a tin can ontain-
ing half a pound of powder. Having
occasion to stoop down, he placed the
can of powder between his legs and
let it remain there for a few minutes
A number of boys were engaged il
shooting fire crackers around him
and one of the ignited crackers fell il
the can of powder. Before the littl,
boy could move, the half pound o
powder exploded. The explosion
was very powerful, and threw him
considerable defiance, besides burning
him in the most horrible manner. Hi
