VEGETINE has cured me; and do feel 10

LISTENING.

Conducted by C. r. PALMER.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1876-07-12

-MR. Geo. II. Adams, the clerk
of the House, has just trium
phantly acquitted of charges made
against him by the Chicago Inter
Ocean in May last. The special
committee appointed to examine in
to the matter unanimously report
that the evidence is explicit and con
elusive that in no instance has any
pecuniary or other considerations
been paid or promised by or on be-
half Of any party receiving an APP
pointment from Mr.. Adams, either
directly or indirectly. 1t appears
that some disappointed applicant,
started rumor that the present
Chief Engineer of the House at the
time of his appointment held note
against Mr.. Adams for $500. This
was retailed around and reached the
long ears of the correspondent, and
suddenly grew into the proportions
of sensational item, inconsiderately
and inexcusably giving publicity to
a charge of criminal conduct against
a meritorious officer Of the House.
The utter groundlessness and falsity
of the charge are confessed by the
correspondent, his informers and all
the other parties concerned in civ,
ing it circulation, and are also con-
frmed by the oaths of Mr.. Adams
and the engineer. Every appointee
of Mr.. Adams was examined, and all
of those who had made charges anc
could be induced to come before the
committee, but not the slightes
proof could be found Of any of thu
charges made. All who knew Mr.
Adams were sure of the falsity of th'
charges before the investigation wa
held.

satisfaction, and is regarded rs Il
very strong one. 1t sounds the key
note Of the campaign, and give assu-
rance that the banner of reform will
be carried well to the front of the
Democratic column as it marches to

nominated at Cincinnati pales sud
grows faint before the prestige CT
of the great reformer. The tidal
wave which will sweep him into the

rise, and public plunderers will be
drowned in the flood. Tildan means

and do not intend to perpetuate it.

FALSEHOOD VERSUS TRUTH.

Hast ever heard OF artis-1atned In story
For Wondrous power, and, too, for vain self-gory-
Who, with his pencil and most marvellous skill,
Life gave to canvas, nor died he now until,
Finished the portrait, he 1t then would view;
His joy 50 great he babe the world adieu:
Let all who drink OF the Pierian fonnt
Heed lesson well, nor venture yet to mount
On sWift-winged Pegasus without rein or check;
For highest flights prove oft the greatest wreck.
Truth ne'er nsleads, nor climbs dangerous steep;
And yet it's true she's never seen to creep,
Nor cringc, nor crawl, nor play a double part,
Nor si1ken tongue with deadly poisoned dart.
Alone and unaffrighted she may eafe rely
Tn Highest Power, and all her foes defy.
Falfchooa's a coward, who only seeks to kill
BY foulest means, And with his wicked will,
ied check free thought and play the tyrant still.
His schemes once foiicd, he calls aloud for aid;
1o ut his side appears Siren maid;
In such disguise he sees lovely Muse,
Who feigns to guide, but with intent to lose;
So, through dense fogs and clouds, her way doth
choose.
All Nature wceps to hear her doleful song,
and hills and rocks the harsher notes prolong.
Louder and shriller grows the SIRENS cry,
Duraet and dcnser clouds Abont them lie.
At length they reach tie eagles lofty height;
Vision now clear, the Siren takes her flight.
Onr Poet learns his Muse was but EiFd OF Prey,
And scream of eagle nll his sweetest lay.
Agnin he calls; no aid doth now appear;
He's doomed to fall, or pass his life in fear.

and we heartily wish such abominable evidences
Of former barbaranism and serVltude
could never again be reinstated. Ar
tistically they are an incongurity simply
distiguring and spelling the, shape OF
the defects Of an Informed one. Nothing in
gold just now is fashionable, however; all
jewclry is "artistic." The value depends upon
the rarity not the richness Of the material, and
the work that is put upon it. Foreign woods
and choice engraved stones are much sought
after, and the latest ornaments are of cnameled
porcelain put on velvet aud worn In the form of
dog-collars, with pcndents, like the Gcnoese
silver, for which there is also great demand.
