True tn His First Love.

Since the arrival of Gen. Harding's s
late purchase, Great Tom, at Belle
Meade, Old Bob, his head groom, has
been twitted no little by horsemen
visiting the place, about the general
nOtorietythe horse has acquired through
the extended notices given him by the
turf papers, TO the apparent forgetful-
ness of Bonnie Scotland, who, next to
sold Mrster," General Harding),
stands highest in Bob's affection. On
a recent visit to Belle Meade, after
looking at the young Englisher, we
went up to the stable of the OLD horse,
to have a look at him. He was enjoy
ing the freedom of his paddock and had
just INDUCED in roll on the grass, his
body was pretty muddy from the thaw-
ing ground, and the hardy old fellow
i'm his rough winter coat presented
quite contrast from the sleek, we'll
groomed stallion we had just seen.
knowing Boh's weakness, and in order
to get him to express himself, We re-
marked:
"Why, Bob, the old horse does not
show up well after looking at Great
Tom"
"He don't! don't he?' replied the
old man in half resentful tone. Then,
turning to the gentleman with us, he
added, ''that sir, is the only twenty
six-year-old colt in America"
But, Bob, am afraid you are just
little inclined to ''go back" on the old
fellow, now that you have such a dis
tinguished young one to look after"
Me, sir. me go back on him:" point
ing TO Scotland, mo, sir" he added, as
he walked up to the old stallion, and
Strengthened his name with caressing
motion of his hand. "No, sir, de sOr-

tell me his pedigree is as pure AS spring

PATIENCE.

We're there no night We could not read the
stars
The heavens would turn into binding
glare;
Freedom is best seen through the prison-bars.
And rough seas make the haven passing
fair.
We cannot measure joys but by their loss
When blessings fade away, We see them
then
Our richestclusters grow aronnd the cross,
And in the night the angels sing to men,
The seed must first be buried deep in earth
Before the lily opens in the sky;
So light is sown," and gladness has its birth
In the dark deeps, where we can only cry.
Life out of DEATH" is heavens unwritten
law;
Nay, it is written in myriad forms
The victors palm grows on the field of war.
And strength snd beauty are the fruit Of
storms
Come then, my soul. be brave to do and bear;
Thy life Is bruised that it may Be more
sweet
Thy cross viii soon be left, the crown we'll
wear
Nay, we will cast it at our Sayiours feet.
And up among the glories never told
Sweeter than music of the marriage bell.
Our hands viii strike the vibrant harp OF gold

Democrats and bad Radicals against bad
Democrats, such as have been put in nomi-
nation at Baton Rouge, and will certainly be
nominated for the parish officers. The logic
OF the Picav1se is as bad as Its spirit.
It has Endorsed and approved the nominees
at Baton Rouge. 1t even euloglzes them, but
protests that they were elected by its imagin-
ary ring. If, however, the same organization
should, In like manner, dare to have voice
In the choice of the candidates for parish OFF,

tate the renegade Spaniard who opened the
gates to the Moors that In the early ages
came from Africa to overrun and occupy
Spain.
With good Republicans to lead them, the
Radicals would be preferred to tho great
Democratic army. led by the bad Democrats
who have incurred the illwill OF this irritable
old dame. There Is no other alternative,
should tho Picayune fail In Its special care
and undertaking, to defeat the so-called ring
but to submit to the conquest Of this Radical
invasion, led by good Republicans. All de-
ponds on the ability of the Pic to execute this
trust and fulfill this contract We apprehend
that Its success In this venturesome and

SUPERINTENDENT ROaERs's SUCCESS
TION.

The papers Of tho twelfth contain re-
port from Nr. VIM. Q. Rogers, superintendent
Of the city schools. In which that distinguished
educator makes some rather novel reoommen-
dations.
When Mr. Rogers enters upon the scheme
OF broken sessions, suggesting that one set
OF pupils be dismissed at noon and another
set of pupils taken In hand from the hour OF
/ b. n. until the time for dismissal, we con-
ceive, with all proper Difference to his superior
wisdom, that he makes grave mistake. The
plan is recommended on account Of
the excessive number OF children apply
ing for admission and In super
fetal way appears to solve the
problem Of the moment. But we hold that
such III arrangement rs Is proposed by Mr..
Rogers Will do more harm than good. It will
result In educating one hundred children In n
slovenly and imperfect manner instead OF edu-
eating fifty thoroughly and it will, besides,
eventually produce total destruction Of the
efficacy and usefulness OF the schools. It Is
much better to do justice to such q number Of
pupils as the schools can accommodate, and
thus to turn out limited number Of well
educated pupils, than to undertake an Inn
practicable enterprise which will end In a
failure to educate anybody, to say nothing Of
breaking down the entire school organization.
The obvious plan Is to ascertain what further
means are needed to receive and instruct the
children Of the city and set about adopting
measures that will furnish the necessary adj
dItional schools and teachers. To talk OF de-
stroying what material we have at present Is,
we respectfully suggest, mere nonsense, and
we trust that the proposition will not be en-
tertained,

MR.. LUsHER's BOOMERANG.

In yesterdays Pcayune the Hon. II. M.
Lusher publishes 4 card, which has the
double-barreled object OF arralgning the In
tegrity of the Baton Rouge Convention and
Of appealing to the people Of Louisiana to
disregard the action Of their representatives
and support him as against the regular NOM
inee for tho SUPPLEMENTARY Of public educa-
ton. or course we may be mistaken, but 1t
seems to US that Mr.. Lusher has thrown
a boomerang OF the largest dimen-
sons and the most dangerous ten
denotes. He dos not claim that ne
had majority favoring his nomination, or
that the gentleman who did receive the ma
jority ID In any way unfit for the place Ia
question. His boomerang seems to be
launched under the serene conviction that
there LIS only one man In Louisiana who can
really do credit to tho State In that position,
and that all tho people who honestly desire
to have their children educated must be
thrsting to bolt the ticket and vote for him.
He makes the fascinating appeal that 1t Is q
matter of genuine patriotism and Of large
and liberal philanthropy to support him, and
leaves 1t to the affrighted imagination to pic
ture the depths or groveling depravity into
which all must sink who oDstlnately persist
In supporting Mr. Fay.
We do not wish to be understood as insin-
uating that Mr.. Lusher has not the right to
nominate himself to any Office he happens to
desire, or as otherwise questioning his gem
eral privilege Of opening any sort OF exposl-
ton he may fancy. 1t merely occurs to us
that be would have done better to omit his
criti ,isms OF a convention which evidently
offended him only By failing to recognize his
claims to perpetual office, and that 1t would
have served his cause somewhat more II he
had avoided any appearance OF disparaging q
successful competitor. 1t ls quite true. as
Mr.. Lusher says, that the office Of Superin-
tendent Or Education Is In no sense a
fpartlgan trust He accurately states the
theory that 1t is trust of special nature
committed TO men with reference to their lit
ness Such being the case. however, and since
Mr. Lusher has already had an opportunity
OF exhibiting his competency, 1t seems to us
that 1t would have been wiser In him to accept
the suggestion involved in the conventions
overlooking him and choosing another person.
Mr.. Lusher, OF course. will run. He is now
fairly launched In the campaign upon the
wave OF that we'll known figure OF soietous
friends In every part Of tho State" and he
enjoys the favoring but mysterious breeze Of
the Peabody fund. We shall watch his career
with unfelQned Interest. There is little doubt
III our mind, however, that the hosts Of friends
will be missing at the polls, and that Mr..
Lusher will find but scanty encouragement
III contest which has for Its inspiration only
his personal chagrin at the failure OF the
people to imbibe his own opinion Of his own
merits
