AT DAWN.

Mists envelop the valley,
The mountain is shroudcd In gloom
No sound breaks on the stiffness,
The silence is that ola tomb.
win she meet me here, wonder,
Here at the foot ofthe iawn2
She wrote me so In her letter,
WIN she meet me here at the dawn?
The mists are melting slowly,
The shadows are fleeing away,
And bird-notcs break the stiffness
There's promise ofglorious day.
The light grows bright and brighter,
A step hear, at last,
turn and greet her gladly,
All doubt, all fear, Is past

To feel much for others and little for our-
selves to restrain our selfish, and to indulge
our benevolent affections, constitute the per-
lection of human nature.

WHERE THE ANGELS LINGERED.- 4 little
girl, with tangled locks peeping from under
calico hood, clad in dress of chints, loiter-
ed behind as the great dusty crowd moved
out of the gates of Mount Adna the other
day, after they had scattered their flowers and
done honor to the dead. Dreamingly she gaz-
ed after them, her eyes filed with far away
look of tenderness, until the last one had dis
appeared and the rattle of the drums had died
away. Then she turned and vaguely scanned
the mounds that rose about her, clutching
still tigher the fast fading bunch of dandeli-
ons and grave moss that her chubby hands
held. An old man passed by and gently pat
ted her curly head as he spoke her name, but
she only shrauk back still further, and when
he told passing stranger that the little ones
father was one who died on shipboard and
buried at sea there was only tear drop in
the child's eye to tell that she heard or know
the story.
When they were gone she moved on further
to neglected, empty lot, and kneeling down
she piled up mound of earth. whispering as
she patted it down and smoothed 1t with her
chubby hand "This won't be SO awfully
big as the others, guess, but maybe it'll be
big enough so that God will see it and think
that papa is buried here" Carefully sho
trimmed the sides with the stray grasses she
plucked, murmuring on And maybe 1t
will grow so that it will be like the rest in
two or three years and taen maybe papa
will sometime come back and ''-but she paus-
cd as though it suddenly dawned upon her
young mind that be rested beneath the waves
and the tear drops that sprang to her eyes
moistened the little bunch of dandelions that
she planted among the grasses on the mound
she had reared. When the sexton passed that
way at night as he went to close the gates no
found the little one fast asleep, With her head
pillowed on the mound. Fulton (Ill.) Times.

Hrs WAY OF Dome Goop.--Up In New
Hampshire 10 well-known eccentric indivi1-
ual, q self-constituted curer Of all ills, sort
of universal panaoea, body and soul, head,
heart and conscience doctor, who, with all his
eccentricities, has fund of active wit fi'ss rs
hard to beat. Not e-e ago the doctor was
uaIed upon the witness stand. The opposine
counsel, who is said to sometimes wet bis
whistle with liquid pizen,' knowing the
DOCTORS pecuiarities, ventured in cross exam
lining to show him up bit. The result will
be appreciated.
What is your business ?" pompously quer-
led the counsel.
"My business is to do what little good can
to my fellow-men, modestly replied the doc
tor.
"But that doesn't answer my question"
gruffiy remarked the counsel. "How do you
spend your timer"
"Why, Squire, it takes about all my time
to do what sad," insisted the doctor.
"But want something more definite"
stoutly demanded the counsel. "How do you
go about your business .
"That depends upon circumstances, accord
ing to the nature Of the case explained the
doctor I" for instance, If were going to be-
gin on you, the first thing should do would
be to advise you to sign the temperance
pledge"
The court roared, and the counsel, as if
convinced the doctor was pursuing legiti-
mate and respectable vocation, proceeded with
the regular cross-examination.

TIE REPORTED RIOT DENIED
Only Half a Dozen Innocent Men
Killed After All!

The Democrat, on Friday morning pub
lished the following dispatch which some
what tones down the first sensational
reports:
Especial to the Democrat.
NArcHEz, October 17.-Our Mr.. Botto
returned from the scene Of the Tensas
troubles last night after had telegraphed
you. He gave the troubles q searching
investigation and its result convinces him
that it has been more sensational than
real He could find no evidence that any
negroes had been killed, besides the one
who was wounded when Captain Peck was
killed and afterwards died. The greatest
number claimed by any one to have been
killed is six.
The negroes on Monday passed through
Waterproof and were extremely insulting
and christening IN their conduct, and the
people of the town had good reasons toI
being greatly alarmed.
We do not think thst anything need be
done in regard to the reported outbreak
The rumprs sent you last night came
from the steamer Natohez, and were
thought to be reliable.

repeated In 1879. The eOlored peo~
pie of Natehitoehes were charged
with christening to burn the town.
Thoss OF TensaA were in turn ac-
c1sed of intending 10 burn the Sil-
lage of Watsrproof. The mere
accusation from an obscure or anon
ymous source has always been found
sufficient to precipitate a sufficient
force upon the cOlOred people to slay
as many as was deemed necessary,
and stampede the rest.
The truth is the colored people
have never threatened to burn any
town, nor have they ever killed q
| white man except under great ex-
citsment or in mortal fear of their
lives. There is nothing of the pre-
meditated assassin or incendiary in
the African character, and nobody
knows this better than the cowardly
creatures who have so long rode oveI
them with impunity. If they had
the revengeful disposition of th'
mobile red man or were halfas bat
as their Demscratie Oppressors try
to make it appear they are, there
I would SOON not be an uuburnei
plantation or safe head of hair il
any country parish in the State
Fortunately, these charges of fero
ciOus intentions on the part of th'
colOred people are basely false, a
the lives and property of their &C
cusers exist to testify.

THE mMATrnHALu TInKRr.

The CORveatlOn o. the National
party which met in this city on the
fifteenth instant to make nomina-
tions for city and parish Off GERS, was
more than usually orderly and in
telligent body.
They seemed 10 appreciate the
Importance of their duties, and the
necessity of selecting such men as
from their reputation and character
might be expected to administer
our affairs ably and honestly. In
this they have succeeded so much 80
as to throw CONSERVATION into the
Democratic camp. The gentlemen
they have selected are not only per-
sonally irreproachable and of known
efficiency, but characterized by a
hberality and tolerance in their po-
litical views which commend them
to the suffrages of all but extremists.
Quite removed from the suspicion of
Republican affiliation as most of them
are, they may be freely supported
by all moderate Democrats who are
disgusted with the ineficieney of the
present Democratic administra ton;
while the Republicans, having de-
cided through their convention not
to put out any ticket, may without
scruple give their support also. 1t
does seem, indeed, little hard upon
the Republicans, numbe ring as they
do at least fifteen thon sand in this
city, to hold back and allow a new
organization to step in and carry OF
the palm. But as this course has
been decided upon by the best judg-
ment of these qualified to judge, and
meets the approval of all the white
Republicans, and the most judicioUa
Of the eolored ones, We say Let us all
como ont and ysts for the National

One of our contemporaries is jubi-
liant over the comparative failure of
the Nationals in Ohio, Indi ana and
Iowa; and declares that tn ereby "the
significance of the movement is now
thoroughly exposed" and that ait
is in state of virtual collapse |! "
Similar things were said of the Re-
publican party in its early days
nay verse. 1t was branded as an
incendiary movement hostile to the
permanence of the Union no Ian
guage was too bad to apply to its
leaders; it's meetings were spoken
of with scorn its speakers hooted at
by the rabble and assailed with
stones and malodorous missiles. Yet
it steadily increased in numbers and
power, until its leaders became the
rulers of the nation and its principles
were embodied in the fundamental
law of the land.
Sound principles and good name
are valuable to young party espe-
cially in a struggle against an effete
organization whose foul record has
made its name reproach and dis
gusted every nina not blinded by
partizanship or biased by self In
terest. The Nationals have good
name at least a taking name, con-
veying the idea of opposition to SEQ
tionalism; and though the name Hny
| have been adopted without any such
view, still the suggestion will have
weight, and the name may attract a
large floating element of political
power, which is fepulsed by pre5u-
| dice from Republieanism, and ~
disgust from Democracy. 1t is not
wise 10 despise the day Of smell
things, TO undervalue ones adVer-
sary, OF to deside upon the result OF
an election in advance. A falSined
prophecy brings contempt and ridi-
cule upon its utteref, and h nay

Congressional Nomination Third District


The delegates to the Third Congressional
District Convention of the Republican
party met ct Bayou Goula on the twelfth
instant. Tia sdisAEfsh oonapsisPs tns sas'
ishes Of Ascension, Assumption, Calea-
sieu, Cameron, Iberia, Iberville, Lafay-
ette, Lafourche, st. Martin, St Mary,
Terrebonne and Vermilion.
All the parishes were reported as having
delegates present except Cameron and
Vermilion.
Mr.. W. W. Wharton was made per-
manent chairman aud L. E. Bentley, Sec
retary of the convention.
The names of three candidates were
presented for nomination: Messrs. Robert
o. Hebert, Of Iberville, W. B. Merchant,
of Iberia, and ]. G. Parkinson, of St.
Mary. Mr.. Brooks, however, in propos-
ing the last named candidate explained
that he did not desire to compete for
the nomination. But as many of the dele
gates had been instructed to vote for him,
it was deemed proper to proceed by a
formal bah t. The result was as follows;
Hebert-AsceHsion, 7; Assumption, 5
Calcasieu, /: Iberbville, g. Lafayette, 2;
Lafourche, S; ST Martin, 3-Total, 90.
Parkinson-Lafourehe, l ST. Mary, g.;
TerrebonnS, 4-Total, II. .,..
W. B. Merehant-Iberia, 8.
On motion Of william G. Brown, the
nomination of Mr.. Hsbert was made
unanimous.
The nominee is a son of Ex-Governor
Paul o. Hebert, Of Iberville, and we be-
lieve a native Of that parish, He is a
young man OF talent and excellent char
acter He is also the choice of the Ma
tional party in his district. With large
majority Of Republicans in the Third
District and a serious detection in the
Democratic camp, there is every reason to
expect that Mr.. Heb0It will be elected.

those who are really Responsible for
the disturbanees in Natchitocheh and
some Of the other turbulent parishes,
the Democrat and some of its political
allies wohld change tfeir opinion Of
its merits! The disturbers OF the
peace are no doubt the Democratic
place hunters who are attempting to
lA6ereiss the right Of free political ac!
ton and denying the same privilege
10 their c6IoFed neighbors. They
have proved themselves to be quar-
relsome. aggressive and disagreeable;
and it is q matter of doubt whether,
under no greater restraints than
"hom6 rule " can afford; they win
ever be able to live in amity with
their colored brethren 80 long as the
latter presume to have political
opinions of their own and claim the
right of independent action.
