THE PRINTER.

YeA women and men
BY courtesy styled . gentle reuters,
OF now much you owe
To the busy typo
And his army OF folders and feeders.
The poet may sing
OF his lyrical string,
OF his muses., his loves and his graces;
But ali! he'd sing small,
If he warbled at all,
Were it not for the eliases and cases.
The writer of fiction,
Whose beauty of dietion
Beguiles tho long evenings of Winter,
His mind would be left
Like casket bereft
Of its key-if not picked by the printer.
The annalist, too,
Who brings to your view
The wonderful story of ages,
Wonld sure be as dumb
As clam or a NUM-

Then whose doth read,
beg him take heed
To TIC lesson these stanzas convey him,
Viz: Now that you know
What treasure you owe
To thdprinter, be certain-to pay him!

THERE'S NOTHING LOST.
BY HENRY T. STANTON.


There's nothing lost Though pall and hearse
And spade and funeral train,
Shall hide piecemeal the Universe,
1t breaks to life again.
Though atoms here of great, of small,
From light to dark are tossed,
Still time, though all the skies do fall,
Shall prove there's nothing lost.
| bring this common truth to mind,
That We who shine and rust,
Whose lives are in the mills that grind
All being back to dust,
Nav better comprehend the part
That on this globe we play,
And hand to hand, and heart to heart,
Go senseful down tho way
We symbolic the lights that show
The great wide sky along,
That take their course and keep their glow,
Ten million million strong.
There Some are bright and some are dim,
And some are great or small
They move as best approVeth Him
Who made and masters all.
The Press to-day, with starry light,
Is shining through the land;
Some parts bring nebula to sight,
And some bring planets grand
And here and there a meteor
Is thrown across the day,
And here and there a colnee's car
Goes blazing down the way.
and some are pressing through the route
That ushers in the dark,
And some, as stars, have faded out,
And left no sign nor spark
But even such as rose and fell
To feed the holocaust
Have left enough of truth to tell
The world there's nothing lost.
m. !. n, L, ~
OF this exultant time,
Whose greater course isyet to run,
Whose higher paths to climb,
| bid them keep their outlines clear,
/ Resisting all the shocks,
That after ages, mining here,
May find them in the rocks;
That pictured in the seams of earth
Their fibers fine may be,
For other days to bring to BIRTH
From Gods great masonry;
That in the drift that gathers here
The great outflow of souls
Their impress may as stronS appear
AS fern leaves in the GOALS.
And We who utter words that break
The atoms OF the air
For curying waves OF sound TO take
Through ages everywhere,
| beg you weigh the force OF each,
The meaning know of all,
For spoken words pass out of reach
And far beyond recall.
Ye master-brains IL at mould the type
To do your master-wiH,
Whose more than common strength is ripe
For either good or i'll,
beg you take these words to heart,
And study we'll the cost
There's all in how you do your part
There's nothing, nothing lost.

Tones Bayou.
INatchitoches Vindicator. |

IL
1t is beyond cavil or contradiction,
that the route through Tones, Pierre
and Winsey bayous, was natures path
for the waters Eow flowing through
Red river. If the persons who are
talking of Tones bayou, and the effect
the washing out of its $3.50, O,ogO dam
has upon the navigation of Bed river,
will but philosophize for "a moment,
they will be convinced OF tLelr error.
Tones bayou, opened or closed, has
not one particle of influence on the
water in Red river below the mouth
of Winsey, because more water passes
Grand Ecore than flows down Tones
bayou and Red river combined at the.
head of the former, and Tones bayou
closed tonight, would not-put two.
inches more of water on the Ceushatt;s
bar tomorrow.
What has caused the difficulty off
navigatioa in Red river of lato Years Y
is question easily answered. Twen-
ty-fve years ago the falls at Alexan-
dria were regarded as the obstruc-
ton, and if they were removed, nayl-
CATION would be greatly improved. 1t
was done, and what was the RESULT
The first year afterwards navigation
was entirely suspended for nearly i've
months; and the reason was very
+ PLAIN, fiiffTs 1Efad is / daT n fnr
the watersNabove, and Il reservoir for
the channel below by which it could
be supplied. When they were re-
| moved it was like kicking the bottom
| out of bucket.
A few years ago Shreveport had the
Red river raft remaped, and right
here the ighoramuses should look for
the causes of lost navigation in certain
seasons in Red river. The removal
of this raft emptied the Simmer re-
servoirs-the chain of lakes from be-.
| low Fulton to nearsShreyeport-a
since the raft has been cut ont, idllk,
water navigation has been Wsre di

For faitners and those who live in

the old milton about early rising is
appropriate. But he who is kept up

and then riAes at five or six, because
of the teachings of some old ditty
abest /" earlt to rise," is committing
inagainsthis own soul. There is
not dne man IN ten thousand who can
afford to do without seven or eight
hous sleep. All the stuff written
abott great men who slept only three
or -four hours night is apocryphal.
Theyhave been put upon such small
allowhces occasionally and pros

Before tile Social Science convention
which met at Saratoga last week, Mr..
j. Randolph Tucker of Virginia read
a paper on the relations of the United
States to each other as modified by
the war and the constitutional amend
ments. Judging from the brief tele-
graphic resume, the paper is one that
will attract considerable attention.
Mr.. Tucker reviewed the doctrines
held by the Southern States, and
sustained by the courts, before the
war, and declared that the South
accepts all the amendments adopted
as binding, protesting against the
mode of adoption as precedents.
While new questions are coming up
to take the place of the old ones, such
as the one treated by Mr.. Tucker, the
new can nillx he isfl9,sfftsa IN sft,a

A Texas Incident.

The road to justice in Texas is some
times very short, and attended with very
little expense, as was illustrated by an
occurrence in this place short time
ago, A gambler had been bathing in
the river in company with some others
of his ilk, who had driven down in an
express wagon. Wishing to ride up in
town, he proposed that if they would
take him up he would treat, an offer
which was accepted. When they
reached the square they went into O. sa-
loon, had their drinks, and then the
gambler discovered that he lacked fif-
teen cents Of having money enough to
pay the bill The barkeeper became
quite noisy about the shortage, insisting
that the drinks should not have been or"
dered until the purchaser knew the ex-
act state of his cash account. The
gambler remarked that he thought the
barkeeper was making id sight Of
fuss about fifteen cents, and turned to
Col. Long, United States Commissioner,
who was sitting at table, and asked
him if he did not agree with him. He
replied that he thought man should
pay for drinks when he ordered them.
Well, replied the gambler, ct viii
be back in few minutes and settle this
matter, p" and passed out.
In less than five minutes he returned,
and as he entered the door drew a re-
volver and fired at the barkeeper, strik-
ing him in the arm. He fred again but
missed the barkeeper, but the shot took
effect IN the shoulder of one Of his own
friends. He then turned and fred at
Col. Long, who was still sitting at the
table, the ball entering his breast and
lodging near the spinal column. Col
Long rose up, walked Two squares to his
home, laid down on bed and died in a
minute.
After firing the three shots the
gambler fed across the bridge, and into
the timber in the bottoms on the west
SIDE The yells of the barkeeper drew a
large crowd, who at once started with a
policeman in pursu.SS. AS they gained
on the murderer, he turned and fired
upon his pursuers, which had the
tendency to decrease their ardor in the
chase but just then a cowboy, mount
ed on pony, rode up and told the
policeman to give him his pistol, and he
would capture his man. The officer
complied with his request, and the cow
boy commanded the gambler to halt, but
the command was responded to with a
shot When the herder found himself
within range he brought his pistol down
with jerk, and fired with fatal effect.
The gambler ran few steps and fell
dead, and his pursuer coolly rode up,
dismounted, took the dead mans pistols
and returned to town to learn that his
victim had killed one of the best citizens
of the city.
I saw the cowboy about 10 O'CLOCK
that night, and heard him remark that
''he thought the county ought to pay
him five dollars anyhow, as he had saved
it the expense of a trial "-Jefersoq

Where Bedbugs Come From.

About a score of the members of the
Academy of Natural Sciences assembled
last evening at the regular weekly meet
ing. Two stalactites from J. Heistand,
Middleton, this State curasson egg,
three and one-half inches long, and a
cocatoo egg, one and one-half inches
long-were presented to the museum,
and then DR., Leidy informed the as
sembly that it was generally supposed
that the homes of swallows, pigeons, and
bats, like houses, were infested with bed
bugs. 1t was certain that they were to
be found in the bark of the cottonwood
wherever people were dwelling in the
immediate vicinity. From specimens he
had obtained he was sure that the bed
bugs IN swallows nests were different
from those to be found in houses, and
consequently people could allow tue
birds to build their nests under the caves
without fear. Prof. Koenig, of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, spoke Of a mine
raj from Mine Hill, Sussex county, N. g.,
which he called caleeosteatite. He was
notprepared to give it name. Pb5la-

craft has been sailing under the painted
disguise Of reform. But now it scorn-
fully casts away even the lure which
served the purpose Of the hour, and au-
daoiously runs up the black flag Of Tam
many Hall and the piratical standard Of
the canal ring. John Kelley and Jarvis
Lord have struck hands and carried the
day. The holy alliance of Tammany
plumber and canal corruption has again
seized the Democratic party and aims to
dominate the State. The ac-
ton of the convention brushes the Tilden
faction in this State-certainly for the
present, probably forever. Tt gives the
ascendencY in the Democracy to the men
whom Tilden relentlessly pursued. and
who viii now naturally initiate his ex-
ample in prescribing the men who at
tempted to prescribe them. 1t drives
the anti ammany element out of the
party. Tie any honest citizen has suf-
fered the delusion that the Democratic
party could become a genuine reform
organization, or could for any longer pc
riod be anything else than the ally and
tool of the most pestilent rings in the
State, this weeks work will undeceiye
him. 1T means that the Tammany and
canal rings are again complete masters
of the Democracy. EVenjng
