The death Of Gen. Bedford
Forest. the great Confederate Ca
VARY leader, has cansed a feeling
OF sorrow and sadness in the
heart ofevery confederate soldier.
That he was truly a great soldier
an able commander. and all in
Irritable strategist no. reasonable
man can deny.
He arose from the ranks as a
private until as @ General of the
Confederate legious he filed the
one army with admiration and
neived to deeds OF bravery and
herolsm and filled the other with
tear andanxiety when ever he was
known to be in striking distance.
He leaves an uiitarnished name

citizen and a soldier, and when
the last enmities Of the late war
wit have passed away his name
viii he cherished by the men of
the entire country as one of the
true heroes Of the nineteenth cen

SENATOR OLIVER p. Nor

SENATtR OLIVER L. MOR-
TON.-The death of this distin-
gulNhed citizen, on Nov. l., at
indianapolis Indiana torms an
important epoch in the history
ofthis country. Possessed of an
indomitable will and untiIing en-
ergy he yielded to none, and
placed himself at the head
of any design or party he enter
tanned or to which he allied hiHl-
self.
For ten years, although practi-
cally dead as to his body from
the lips down, he has made HIM
self the acknowledged leader of
bis party, none Of whom dared
to dispute his claim, and the ter
ror of his opponents who watch>
Ell his every movement with fear
and trembling.
The South never had a more
vindictive enemy than Senator
Morton, who never permitted an
opportunity to pass without strik-
ing her blow, ',andlis blows were
given with IA giants strength. He
is now dead. bat no man can fail
to render to him the tribute of
having been Il great man, one the
Ike of whom Is seldom seen. In
all the days OF corruption au,t
with the opportunities Of plumber,
surrounding his career, no one
has ever dared to accuse him OF
plundering the people or rObbing
the government and he leaves
his family comparatively poor.
That he was possessed of I'M.
natural prejudices and enmi;ies
towards the Southern people was
evidence only of his natural teu,
permanent. for he did nothing by
halves. When he made war, be
made war to conquer and crush
When he was a friend he was :
friend in earnest.
Let the dark sides Of his career
be burnei in oblivion in his tomb
Perhaps when the shadows 0
history are cast over his memo,y
the better elements OF hi
wonderful man will rise suifj
GENTLY high as to hide hi
faults which his envy and hatred
caused him to commit.

Some folks think that 10 MAJ,
in Tisibodaux has any money, but
that is a mistake.
Not long since one of the cit
liens was saying that he had a
Quantity of gold which some OF
his hearers expressed a desire to
to see, and to compare with some
twenty dollars in gold which they
were the happy posSessors. Nine
pieces of golden cola were pro.
dnced, and the twenty dollars
were placed side by side.
Wien the curiosity of the spec
tators was satisfied tie money
Was taken up but when the ex-
hlbitor Of the nine pieces counted
them over he had but eight.
The little bird that related the
transaction then flew away sing
ing:
"Ofpretty golden pieces there
We're nine.
They counted them over and
then there were eight"
