Sailing the Seas Over.
[From Summer Sauntcrings


l have listened in my time, with
more or less pleasure, to very rollicking
songs about the sea, tho flashing brine,
the spray, and the tempest's roar, tho
wet sheet and the flowing sea, a life on
the ocean wave, and MI the rest of it.
To paraphrase land proverb, let me
write the songs of the sea, and L care
not who goes to sea and sings 'em. a
square yard of solid ground is worth
miles Of the pitching, turbulent stuff.
It's inability to stand still for one second
is the pleague of it. To lie on deck
when the sun shines, and swing up and
down while theswaves run hither and
thither and toss their white caps, is all
we'll enough; to lie in Your narrow
berth, and roll from side to side all
stateroom door, and when you get
there, find you have got to the bottom
of the hill, and opening the door is like
lifting up trap door in the floor to
deliberately start for some object, and
before you know it to be flung against
it like n bag of sand to attempt to sit
down ON your sofa, and find you are
sitting up to slip and slide and grasp
at everything within reach, and to meet
everybody leaning and walking on n
slant, AS IL n heavy wind We're blowing,
ana the laws Oh Rr0Vltatlon reversed
to lie in your berth, and hear all the
dishes on the cabin table go sousing off
against the wall in n general smash to
sit Mt tho table holding your soup plate
with one hand, and watching for u
chance to put your spoon in when it
comes high tide on your side Of the
dish; to vigilantly watch the lurch of
the heavy dishes while holding your
glass, and your plate, and your knife
and fork, and not to notice it when
Brown, who sits next you, gets the
whole swasl of the gravy from the
roast beef dish on his light colored pan
falcons, and see the look of dismay
that only Brown can assume on such
an occasion; to see Mrs. Brown advance
to the table, suddenly stop and hesitate,
two walters rush Mt her, with whom
she struggles wildly, only to go down
in II heap with them in the Opposite
corner; to see her partially recover, but
only to shoot back again through her
stateroom door, and be seen no more;
all this is quite pleasant and refreshing
If you are tired of land, but you get
quite enough of it in Il couple of weeks.

Singular Affection Of the Giraffe.

The Turf, Field and Farm says: "Thc
giraffe in Barnum's menagerie shows
wonderful affection for It's keeper 1t
will allow no other to handle it, and ii
grows nervous and uneasy whenever
tho young man is away from its side.
The keeper even has to sleep in the
cage with the giraffe. 1t is II handsome
cage, and in one end of it the young
man has his bunk. When the giraffe
is lying down, its head nestlcs close to
tho face Of its keeper, and thus the two
slumber lovingly side by side. The
young man has had charge of the ami
NAL only since ii landed in this country
some six weeks ago. 1t is II male,
three years old, andas tho female which
started with ii was lost in the voyage
across the Atlantic, the affection once
reserved for the dead mate seems to
have been transferred to the man who
first received and carcsscd it OF tho
vessels arrival in New York. The.
giraffe must naturally be of an aflcc-
tionntc disposition, or it would scarcely
have become so fond of II human being
in 50 short Il time after leaving its ma
tive WildS.'

A Snake In II Lady's Pillow.

a snake carefully wrapped in fine
feathers and looking like IL lady's tip
pct, which came out of the pillow of n
lady down in the French quarter ofthc

be invisible, and might readily be

what it was. Some thought it goose

Mr.. Greeley Oh the Situation.

Mr.. Greeley Oh the Situation.
The following editorial article, be-
lieved to be from the pen of Mr..
Greeley, appeared in the Tribune OF
Wednesday, and was telegraphed to
the country. 1t will be read with in
terest:
|. "The journalists who ut first resolved
to treat the Cincinnati nominations as
a joke, finding their forced laughter
freezing in their throats, are looking
around for avenues of escape from the
disasters which confront them. Very
naturally, their first recourse is to the
Bourbon or fossilizcd element of the
Democratic party, which, having rush.
ell that party repeatedly on the break
ers foaming just ahead, is counted on
to render the sane service once more
After demonstrating to their own per-
feet satisfaction that the Liberal move
ment has no other purpose, and can
have no other result than the restora-
tion of the Democrats to power, they
insist that those very Democrats will
deliberately, and with malice afore-
thought, crush out the Liberals, and
give fresh lease of power to our Conk-
lings, Mortons and their satellites. 1t
DdTely pOSSlDle tlltC Vne
will play the suicidal part assigned
them by their implacable enemics-if
we Judge from the recent past, we
might also pronounce it possible-but
the indications from every side are SO
unanimous and overwhelming that we
are confident that no intelligent, dis
passionate observer would insure the
nomination of q Bourbon Democratic
ticket for less than ninety-tive per cent.
premium. This reliance Of the two
term people being so manifestly a bro
ken reed, it is whispered that General
Grant may be induced to decline, and
that this, with the nomination at Phil
adelphia of Il personally unobjectiona-
bic successor will dissolve the Liberal
organization and secure the withdraw
al of its ticket. We are unaware OF any
warrant for this assumption. a Bour-
bon Democratic ticket might possibly
evince strength enough to shake, if not
shatter, the Liberal organization; not
so change of front at Philadelphia, for
the Liberal movement wars not upon
y man but Il system. 1t insists on one
Presidential term as an intleNible rule,
not as q temporary eNpedicnt. 1t con-
demns nepotism in the persons of it's
apologists and justitiers as we'll as of it's
chief eNemplar; it demands Il civil SER
vice reform which shall make the mere
tide walters and other humble scrvitors
of the government independent of par
ty mutations; it requires an amnesty
for political offenses now seven to elev-
en- years by gone, which shall be so
complete as to leave no exceptions to
be the subject of future prayers and
struggles. For these and kindred rea-
sons we are morally certain that the
Liberal Republicans will maintain and
defend their organization, uphold their
banner and support their candidates to
the end, unless the Democrats shall see
fit to drive them Off the course, which
they are not likely to do"

The Death of Mr.. Silas Tam.

In our last issue we stated that Mr.. Silas
Tam, who resided near Pleasant Hill
in this parish, was waylaid and shot
by unknown parties in Sabine parish.
The following are the particulars of his
death, as near as we can learn from the
various reports that have reached us:
On the morning of the 22nd of last
month, he left tho residence of Mr..
Gattis for the avowed purpose of fight
ing a duel with II man by tho name Of
James Mccartney. He was alone, and
was armed with double-barrel shot
gun and two six-shoOters. He was not
seen any more until Wednesday morn
ing the 24th, when he was found by his
wife leaning against Il small pine tree
dead. Those who examined the ground
give in substance the following opinion
as to how he came. to his death. He
was riding along an old road that is
seldom travelled, and ut n place where
several trees had blowned down across
1t, tho road made q curve around the
tops; and rs he passed, while his back
and left side was towards them, he was
shot by two persons from behind n
clay-root, who evidently ran as soon as
the shooting was done. They were
tracked II short distance to where they
had their horses hitched. Tam was
struck with five shot, two of which
struck the left leg, and three hit his
left hip, breaking the hip bone; tho re-
mainder of the charge went into his
horse. When he was shot his horse
evidently plunged to the side of the
road and threw him to the ground,
brea king his gun off at the britch; the
horse fell dead about forty feet from the
place where he was shot.
1t is thought that the fall stunned him
and rendered him unable to crawl of,
and it is evident that he did not die
until Wednesday morning, two days
after the Shooting; for when found, he
was perfectly Timber and warm. He
must have suffered intense agony, for
as he sat against Il tree, he dug IL great
hole with his right heel, that leg being
uninjured. 1t is rumored that he
scratched something on the bottom of
his shoe, and that he tried to carve on
n tree, and the others disagree as to
what the words were, we forbear from
giving either version. To say the least
of it, it was one of the most diabOlical
murders ever committed in any COM
munity, and for the reputation OF the
"E'ree State OF Sabine" we would be
pleased to know that the perpetrators
of this terrible deed had been captured,
and the extreme penalty of tho law
meted out to thcm.-W WoulsfeI0 Reporter.
