have caught the epidemic OF the sea- v
son, and neither are up to the for r
mer good music to which each has Q
been dancing merrily. We readily Z
see the situation at a glance, ana a
fellow feeling makes US wondrous
kind to them in full pallatlon,
for what others may find faults with
them for pretended dereliction OF du-
ty.
The Caucasian however, comesup
to the scratch boldly and with vim
and treats it's readers to several good
and readable editorials on the varied
topics of the day, and promises to
paw it's respects to a Natchitoches
contemporary next week. We have
our fears for our bold Caucasian
friend on this score, for if he can find
any answer for the middle and jar
CON as nonsense to which he claims
next weeks attention, he certainly
can urlravel the riddle of the Sphinx.
You have a hard road to travel, gal
liant one, much rougher we tear
than the Cemetery one, which you
have SO nobly been battling tor from

the ladies, God bless them, on the
war path and in favor Of your pet
/ scheme. we believe and are convinced
YOU are now on the road to success,
and right cordially and with a true
hearts willingness, the Democrat
given insertion tothe call, and here
greenhouses and approves Of it, and
will give it's moral Influence to the
entire and more than christian and
commendable good work.

!, the special favor Of their New Or
f leans correspondent to rise and ex-
S plain in good, plain old Saxon what
t he means and what he is driving at,
1 and not to soar quite so high "with
), pinioned wings in heavens cloud
:, capped towers" for fear he might
! light on Dads woodpile, and ther
l. common folks here may understand
i him. Per contra, the gifted ane
i pleasing epistle Of their fair cores
l. pondent on the scenery and school in
IS cidents in and near Geneva, is wei
n worthy an attentive perusal, and w
Y trust to the pleasure of seeing man,
d more such in Caucasia's columns.
