The great jackson route Is the shortest
quickest and best Northern line to New York
and the Eastern cities. During the heat Of
summer the greatest comfort in travelling is
found on the route by Chicago or Louisville
and along the shores of the great lakes, OF
through the grand scenery of the Allegheny
mountains. To pass through these regions
there is no route 80 direct, 50 quick or 80 good
as the Jackson, with it's through cars, steel
track and short line, enabling it's trains to
leave New Orleans one hour later than any
other and make the same time.
Excursion tickets are low on sale by this
route, good till October 81, to all the attrac-
tive and famous summer resorts Of the North
west, best known among which are Wauke-
sha, with it's celebrated springs; Oconomowoc,
the centre of the delightful lake district of Wis
consin; Green Lake, Grand Haven, st. Paul,
Niagara Falls, Montreal, Quebec, etc. The
rates are as low or lower than to watering
places in other parts of the country, and liV-
ing both at hotels and boarding houses cheap
and of the best kind, the country around be-
ing highly cultivated and furnishing every
thing desirable for the table.
All are invited to call at the ticket office, 20
Camp street, under City Hotel, where guide
books, descriptions, routes, rates, ETC., will be
furnished, and the fullest Information given.

TRIPLE SHEET

Our friend "T. D. writes TO "An ex-Ofticer,
q. s.. A., !" that In the article published In last
Sundays DEMOCRAT, on the bombardment OF
Fort Jackson, he was mistaken in stating that
Che soldier crushed to death by shell falling
ON the magazine was a member of the st.
Mary's Cannoneers; and declares that 1t was
Lieut.. Pierson, of the Allen Guards, who thus
and then lost his life. Our contributor informs
ns that "T. d. 81 memory is faulty in this in
stance. The young cannoneer was killed on
the twenty-second Of April, 1862, while Lieut..
pierson lost his life on the morning of the
twenty-fourth, during the passage of Farra-
CUTS feet, having the top of his head taken
OH by a shell while directing the fire of bat
terry of which he was the commander He
was the son of Geo. Pierson, for many years
d fayorite actor in this city, and was brave
and true soldier.

There are many complaints in the doubtful
marshes that the Democrats are not thor
oughly organized and as well prepared for the
coming election as they should be. There is
no doubt that In most of these doubtful par
ishes the Republicans are much more thor
oughIy organized than we are In Rapides,
for instance, the negro registration is far
Ahead Of the white registration. Both parties
seem to have neglected registration to within
d few weeks ago, when Republican ennis
sary appeared from New Orleans in the field
and informed the negroes of that parish that
it was their duty to register at once. The re-
suit was that he got some 800 negroes before
the assessor, who now fills the Office of super
visor OF registration, and registered them.
The white citizens had no one to force them
TO the registration Office and the consequence
ID that the negroes registered are largely
ahead OF the whites In Rapides.
In Avoyelles we notice certain want OF
preparation and excitement in the Democratic
ranks. The Democratic parish convention
meets in very few days, and yet there are
no candidates in the field, no names even men,
toned for office. The Republicans, on the
other hand, are overrun with candidates, and
q bitter contest has already sprung up be-
tween the different factions Of that party.
The situation seems to be the same in a
score Of other parishes The Republicans are
everywhere troubled with multitude Of can.
didates, while no one appears anxious to Sc
cure a nomination from the Democrats. Such
ii condition of affairs is very unpromising
and unpleasant. There are a number Of
doubtful parishes In the State, and it is on
these, as in all past elections, that the result
In November depends. 1t is unfortunate
therefore, to see that in these very parishes
the Republicans are better organized than the
Democrats, and are confident Of victory. 1t
Is true that the Democracy has decided Id
favor of short and energetic campaign. 1t
is equally true that campaign of this kind
isgenerally favorable to the success OF Dem
0crats, but it will not do to count too surely on
organizing the party and getting out the votes
In the few weeks previous to the elections.
Sucha policy is good for the heavy and decided
Democratic parishes, but in the doubtful
parishes the better policy would seem to be
I'd open the campaign as early as the Repub-
Iicans do, to get all the Democratic voters
registered as soon as possible, to make early
nominations and a vigorous and energetic
fight. It has been claimed that the Repub-

The people In the oil districts of Pennsylva-
MIA have developed strange system Of po-
litical economy. When machinery was first
Introduced in England, the laboring classes
seriously objected to 1t, on the ground that it
would deprive hundreds Of workingmen of
employment and number Of mills in which
machinery was placed were actually burned
on this very ground. On this account the po-
litlcai economy of the Pennsylvania oil men
HI about on par with that of the English la
borers. The value of crude petroleum at the
wells has declined from year to year until 1t
is now only 81 90 barrel. This figure evil
IDENTIFY leaves no margin for profit. The oil
well owners, instead Of making money by
their oil, must lose on every barrel they sell.
How Is this to be remedied2 None of the oil
men are willing to reduce their products or
tn shut up any of their wells. Th0y propose
to try incendiarism instead. Most of the oil
is stored IN the warehouses OF the United
Tank Line, IL this oil there stored can be
Burned, the price of petroleum must go up
half dollar Or more. There are scores of
men, Ii Is said, anxious and ready TO set fire
To these tanks. The result of such an act
- aid be terrible destruction Of property
aud perhaps fearful loss of life, but the men
ready to commit this deed care little for these
losses Ii they can only send up the price of
their oil few cents barrel. So great Is the
danger Of a fire of this kind regarded, that
the people along Bear creek and other threat
ened sections of the oil country have organ
lied an association to protect these oil tanks,
and regularly organized bodies are now sta
sioned at all Of these to protect them.
It Is quite probable that this precaution
viii prevent the threatened disaster; but
strangers to Pennsylvania will be able to ap-
preciate the pleasures Of life in that State
from their threatened danger. 1t is fine
continuation to the story of Pittsburg and
the riots Of last summer. Pennsylvania is
evidently nice State to leave.

a POEM.

We live in time of startling manifesto
ttons Eliza Pinkston; Mrs. jerks; the Sweet
Singer Of Michigan, all crowd upon us with
such rapidity that we are dumbfounded. Such
moral and intellectual prodigies give tone
to our civilization and encourage the develop
ment Of the qualities In which these now il
lustrious luminaries excel Eliza P. and
Agnes jerks, in their line, perhaps may never
be rivalled. But they are patterns the young
females OF our country who desire to become
distinguished may initiate with success.
We had thought, too, that this generation
could not produce a rival to the "Sweet
Singer of Michigan" But we were mistaken.
We were not aware of the latent poetic fire
which smolders in our own city and State.
and which only requires a puff-a little en-
couragement-to fan it into flame which
will startle the whole country.
Yesterday while we were perusing with
amazement, not unmingled with awe, the
poems of the "Sweet Singer of Michigan, +"
and wondering if, in her peculiar line, it was
possible that another being would appear
upon the earth to eclipse her, an
envelope containing the poem printed below
was handed us. We receive a great deal
of poetry that we never print; indeed, we are
sorely bored by poets who want us to give
place to their illusions II there is anything
on Gods green earth that an editor has a
supreme horror of it is a poet. This
city is full of them. 1t has them
worse than it ever had the yellow fever or
the cholera. They infect newspaper offices
through the mails, through the medium of the
district telegraph, through the instrumental
ity Of mothers, brothers, sisters, fathers and

friends who bring us their writings. The
Board OF Health has established quaran-
tine and protected the city from pestilential
diseases; Dr. Chopin and his associates
have disenfected the impure districts Of the
town with carbollc acid. But there seems to
beno power to quarantine an editors sanctum
against poets, and neither carbolic acid nor
any other dlsenfectant seems capable of de-
stroying the poetic fever with which so many
OF our people are constantly wrestling.
But, MS Mr.. Hayes said Of red-headed Jim,
the poem before us is special case. and we
print II as II cones fresh from the poets hand,
hot from the fires OF his genius II we had
time, we might point out the special beauties
OF this effusion. But we forbear. The intel

rank first in the class Of poems to which 1t
belongs. We trust the gifted author will con-
tlnue to write and send his poems to the DEM

LINES TO THE MEMORY or OUR GALLANT
HERO AND WARRIOR, GEN. II. %. LEE.
OF all the gallant heroes,
There Is only one can be found,
It's him our noble patriot.
Who lies beneath the ground.
He was always frst Ia battle
On land or upon sea,
No drawer man has ever been.
Than Gen. II. 70. Lee.
The comrades Of this gallant soldier,
When at the Battle of Charlottesville.
Strove hard with their old chieftain,
To keep the Federals still.
They fought until the last moment,
Which kept them busy as they can be,
When he asked of them to never forget
The gallant r. E. Lee.
When first he left his country,
To cross the battle plain,
He went off with heart to conquer
And then come back again.
But his hopes and fears were lost to all
When the first break he made.
His comrades styled him gentleman
And the pride of his brigade
Onl on ! to the battle he did lead,
When victory was near at hand,
He followed his friends both near and far.
Till he reached his winning land.
And there he stood his ground so fast
And then got on his knee:
Then he asked of God to give the strength
To the army OF Il. E. Lee.

THE WINTER ROBIN.

The dead ferns o'cr the thin crisp snow
Are rustling in the winter breeze,
And the mute birds fits to and fro
Between these clumps Of alder trees.
A robin! What! has summers proudest
And sweetest singer come to this?
His carol was of June's the loudest-
A rapturous lay of love and bliss
But, desolate and voiceless now,
He fingers in the wood alone,
Haunts the pash-tree's faded bough,
And pecks the sumac's faded cone,
And in the bitter night hides where
Thick hemlocks shield him from the air,
Long since his mates of summer fled,
When first the summer leaves were shed;
Now in the sun the fields CLEAN white;
Around his nest the rough winds blow;
Yet with weak heart he shrieks from flight
And stays, although he longs to go;
Too cherries and too cold to sing,
He tarrles still and waits for spring!
Mute haunter of the woodland dreary,
My summer songs, like thine. are DER;
My care-worn spirit is too weary
To plume her wings and try to soar;
Too dull from what dread to fly,
Too sore at heart to sing am /;
And, with thought half envious, now
watch thee on the alder bough;
For bfief must now be winters stay,
And glad thine April song will be;
While but question Hope, and say,
"Will spring time ever come to met"

DUST EXPLOSIONS

AprOpos to the discussion concern
ing -four mill explosions we are in.
formed that the burning of the large
fertilizer mandatory in the town of
Luke, near the Chicago stock yards,
in January, 1874, was due to a like
cause, that is, the ignition and explo-
sion of fine dust.
The building was of wood, one sto-
ry, IS 100 feet with a wooden add.
ton about 90 feet square. In the
main building the fertilizer was man.
ufactured from the blood and tank
stuff received from the neighboring
packing houses; mixed together they
were fed into long revolving cylin-
uci iron, through which flame Con.
stantly passed, and were delivered as
a fertilizer containing from Is to Is
per cent moisture. The fertilizer
was then fed into pulverizer, which
reduced it to fine powder. and blew
it through "a long tin pipe Unto which
hot air from heater was also admit
ted) into cylindrical sleeves or boilers
Of different grades, which terminated
the pipe and which were located in
the % feet square building. After
the material had passed through the
boilers it contained but from to s
per cent of moisture. The boltipg
room always contained hot air, hot
steam, some ammoniacal gases. and
the fine floating dust of animal mat
ter.
About week before the destruc-
ton of the works one Of the workmen
entered the room, with lantern. to
clean the boilers; as the dust soon
settled on the lantern glass and Oh.
scured the light he opened it TO take
The lamp out that he might see bet
ter; an instantaneous explosion fol-
lowed, and he was thrown down. and
his hair, face, hands, and clothes bad.
ly scorched. The force Of .the explo.
sion, was, however, expended through
the open door, and no further damage
resulted.
A week after this occurrence, on
another occasion Of the clogging of
the boilers, the intelligent foreman of
the factory entered the room with the
lantern, with two of the w0rkmen,
and repeated the interesting perform.
ance Of exposing the naked light, with
disastrous results; the explosion shook
from the beams and rafters Of the
buildings the long accumulation of
dry fertilizing dust, which was at
once ignited by the burning gas, and
the whole building was instantly filed
with fame and burned to the ground.
From this it is evident that the dry
dust Of auimal as we'll as that Of veg
etable matter will take fire and gener.

vided the necessary conditions are
presented, that is. sufficient and init.

this case the conditions were c0mpli-
Gated by the presence Of steam and

contrary TO what would have been
predicted Of them. apparently excited
no preventive influence.

AUTUMN SUGGESTIONS.

Very decided changes in tempera-
ture comes about at this season, and
often without warning. Fresh, cool
days are followed by others warm and
moist. The Philadelphia Ledger
tells its readers that il is unhealthy
to shiver, and not either pleasant or
salutary to sit about while under the
sensation of even a slight cold.
Housekeepers should take care that
some apartment in their dwellings is
sufficiently warmed by stove or range
or furnace to be comfortable. Health,
no less than personal satisfaction, 10

ailments and occasional serious
diseases which mark the change Of
season usually ariSe from inattention
