GENERAL OGDEN FOR GOVERNOR.

1t afford US pleasure to announce
authoratively that Gen. Frederick
N. Ogden, while refusing to en-
gage in any canvass for the Gov
ernorship, has consented to re-
spond to the wishes of his fellow
citizens if it should be their pleas
ure to nominate him for the guber-
Material position. Should the
wishes Of the people of Louisiana,
expressed through the Baton Rouge
convention, require his time and
services to the State, he will as in
the past, sacrifice personal consid
erations, aud respond to the call.
Popular sentiment is so strong that.
despite his refusal which would
have done credit to the noblest Ro.
man, the movement to place him at
the head Of the state Government h s
grown each day, and the Office is
seeking tho man.
Let us glory in the new departure.
The revolution which has begun
must he ended. There is no mid
die ground upon Which the people
will stand. The downfall of Rad
icalism should be followed by res
toration Of the civic virtues. We
must restore the honor of Office,
and elevate the dignity of politics.
We are called upon to wipe out the
dishonor of the past, and elevate
the honor Of the future.
The temper of the people has been
shown by the reforms inaugurated
by the last Constitutional Conven,
ton. The Democratic Conscrva-
tive masses we feel assured are
ready to accept true patriot, a
thorough reformer, and an homes:
man, who knows the right and will
always maintain it.
The parish of Orleans, on the
occasion of the first electin since
the redemption of the. State. calls
upon the good peoble of Louisiana
to join with her in elevating the
hero or September 14,h to the
highest Office of the State, because
he will honor the position, and
serve the public with true heart
and firm purpose. The calls up
on the masses to rally to the s. p
port OF a representative Of the true
Democracy Of Louisiana, to put be-
fore the party the name OF the only
man who can unite and harmonize
oil elemen in carrying out the re
forms already begun, and restoring
tho prosperity which our resources
should insure. and commanding
that respect at home and abroad to
which the Delta State is entitled.

Origin Of Two Popular Poems.

Hoods touching lyric, THE Song OF
the Shirt" wac the work Of an even
lug. Its author was prompted TO write
10 by the condition OF thousands of
working.women in the city of London.
The effect Of its production was fore
seen by two persons, the poets wife
aud Mark Lemon, the editor Of Punch.
"Now, mind, Tom mind my words,
said his devoted wife; this will tell
wonderfully. II is one Of the best
things you ever did"
Mr.. Lemon, looking over his letters
one morning, opened an envelope. in
closing n poem which the writer said
had been rejected by three London
journals. He begged the editor 10
consign il 10 the waste basket, II II
was not thought suitable for Punch, a
the author was "sick OF the sight OF
IT," The poem was signed Tom Hood.
and was entitled "The Song of the
Shirt"
1t was submitted 10 the weekly meet

utors, several OF whom opposed Its
publication as unsuitable 20 the pages

beauty that he published in on Decem-

"The Old Oaken Bucket" was writ
ten fifty OF more years ago by print
or named Samuel Woodwork. He
was in the habit OF dropping into a no

OF brandy and water, he smacked hi
lips and declared that Mallory's bran

tasted
"No," said Mallory, "you are mis-
taken. There was drink in both on

"What was that?" incredulously ask
ed Woodwork.
"The fresh spring water We used q
drink from the old oaken bucket ths

Hunger aud Thirst.

Some interesting experiments have
been made by the medical faculty OF
Michigan University in order to deter
mine the seat of hunger and thirst in
the animal system. A dog was chloTo-
formed, after having been fed n hearty
meal, aud while the musculo-membra-
nous reservoir for food was largely dis
tended, an incision was made through
abomen, over the large curvature Of
the stomach. into that organ; then n
silver tube, quarter OF an inch in
diameter and an inch and half long.
was inserted in the cut, the other end
of which was then corked mp. The
tube has half inch flanges at both ends,
the inner hange serving to keep the
haDge in its place while the outer fiange
closely shuts the exterior.
The dog still lives with stomach per.
manetly on top; in fact, the operation
in no way affects the health Of the
N astiff, although in undergoing the
severe ordeal 10 which he was at times
subjected in the interest of science.
hunger compelled him TO eat about SIX
times as much ss formerly. The result
Of the experiment proved that the sea,
/ of hunger is not in the stomach, neither
is the seat Of thirst in the throat, but
that both reside in the system at large.
The dog was permitted 10 eat hearty
meal, which was Immediately taken
from him via. the tube, IN a few min
utes; after recovering from his fright,
he wo1ld eat an equally large quantity
Of food, and so on TO any extent
Again, be would not be permitted
to eat anything for say twenty-foul
hours. Food would then be injected
into his stomach through the tube.
Notwithstanding his stomach was full,
The animal would at once gulp down
more food; bnt il sufficient time was
allowed for the injected food TO enter
the system, he would then refuse al
that was set before him. The conclu.
sions arrived at from these expert.
meuts and confirmation in the fact,
which has often been observed. that
persons suffering FROM thirst, although
the parchiDg sensation is apparently
limited to the throat, find immediate
relief upon entering o bath, or even
from immersipg the feet in water.
