DECORATION DAY.

The Associations OF the Army Of Tennessee,
the Army OF Northern Virginia, and the
Ladies' Monumental Association are already
busy preparing for the decoration OF the
graves Of our Confederate dead, the holy an
niversary of which falls on the sixth OF
April next. Yesterday the committee ap-
pointed by the Louisiana Division OF the
Army OF Tennessee held meeting and ap-
pointed the following subcommittee to at
tend to the decoration of the graves Col. w.
I. Vaudry, chairman; Capt. l.. D. Richard
son, Col. Ad. Meyer, Capt. G. 81. Buck, Capt.
j. G. Golding, A. r. Courier.
Decoration Day is an anniversary that
with us ought never to be permitted to fall
into desuetude. 1t Is vindication OF the he
roes who have fallen for the cause which we
should always maintain was that OF Truth and
Right. 1t Is an eloquent yearly appeal In
favor of State rights and the fundamental
principles of the constitution Of our fathers.
It is the death light burning over and illu-
minating the sarcophagus representing the
Idea Of the Lost Cause" which, though
vanquished by brutal force, still lives on, and
whose principles, inseparaDly linked to the
constitution, are bound to triumph In the end.
Therefore let flowers and precious nose
gays, let crowns OF laurel and wreaths OF Inn
mortelles be brought by pious hands and laid
on the graves Of the heroes OF the four years
war, as votive offerings to the memory OF the
departed and to the Idea for which they laid
down their lives.

BARNEYsvILLE.

From the oldest map OF Louisiana down to
the latest none give the situation OF the happy
hamlet OF Barneysville. A careful search
through Dimitry's History OF Louisiana fails
to bring to light Its location, yet it does, and
from present appearances will, exist for some
time.
Travellers going lakewards on the city rail.
road line, when nearing their destination, are
suddenly taken aback by the appearance ol
an old board, supported by two saplings
bearing the inscription, "Barneysville."
After many inquiries nobody could tell us
the history OF the place. Three huts front
the main street, which is no street at all, FOL
1t begins at the door OF one cabin, runs to the
hen-coop Of the next, and to the back door o
the next. The architecture OF the buildings
Is essentially African. and the builders EVIL
IDENTIFY caught most Of the material for them
fotsam and jetsdm. What society there is Ii
the place nobody knows. Yesterday, how
ever, thanks to an overcrowded train and Q
low rate Of speed, we were able to get at last
view Of the founder OF this future city. w
saw Barney himself. In garden whert
fifteen diminutive but ambitious cabbages
confronted thirteen radishes and nine con
sumptive eschalots Barney was taking his
Sundays afternoon promenade. His cabin
about seven by ten, fronted his plantation tel
by seven, and three chickens fronted tn,
cabin. He was an old negro OF about seventy
with slow, uncertain gait, and leaned heavi
! ly on stout staff OF six feet In length. HI
presented picture worthy Of an artist, ane
recalled the minstrel presentations of "ole
Joe" in that plaintive burnt-cork melody.
He stepped carefully over each pet cabbage
his head shaking all the while, and as tn
train passed, merely gave 1t sidelong glance
There was some smoke curling out OF his littl
mud chimney and yellow dog curling up Il
the doorway. When this place becomes
| forgotten.

A CHAPTER ON GOATS.

As "our esteemed contemporary" the PicG-
y,sse, would say, a correspondent" writes to
us long letter, or communication, asking us
how we stand on the goat question. He is
full OF complaints about that animal, and mo-
tices with anxiety the fact that the species is
getting day by day more numerous and inso-
lent. He even cites a case wherein lady.
going out shopping, has been attacked by one
Of these wild and untamed animals, and
forced to seek safety by immediate and inglo-
Tious flight.
We acknowledge like the Pic that has
clinched with jennings on the dog problem.
and promised to hereafter make a raid ON
cock fighting, we cannot do everything at
| once and after having made war against the
ACCORDION players, attacked the small boys
and got up reputation for demolishing things
| in general, we are diffident about tackling the
goats. The goat, termed by scientists the
| "wilhelmus capricornus," is very difficult
subject to handle, as any one who
| has met him on the open plain can testify.
Those who have tackeled him, as far az our
knowledge goes. have been worstsd. We
must admit that he is nuisance, that no
gate leading to o garden is safe from his in
vasions, that no shrub, however delicately
| tended and cared for by its proprietor, Is
respected by this unclean and voracious
animal. We have the authority
Of Scripture and legendary superstition to
state that the arch fiend assumes his shape
in preference to that OF every other cloven-
footed beast. Yet, and perhaps for these very
reasons, we are afraid to tackle him. Further
more, II we were to injure the goat. we fear
that we would be made amenabie to the law
providing for the prevention OF cruelty 70
animals. We will therefore ignore the
Interpolation OF our correspondent and
let the goats go for what they
are worth. Ii we have not succeeded In cre-
ating public sentiment against the race OF
small boys, which is still vigorously progress
ing and whose malice Is far greater than that OF
goats, we give 1t up. Let the city authorities
and the police bear all the responsibility. IL
gardens are devastated II ladies are attacked
on the street, and II the atmosphere OF our
streets Is made redolent with the emanations
from this hateful but dangerous biped, we
, wash our hands, like the aniabie Pontius
!, Pilot, OF the consequences. and lay the whole
