a murderer from Lake Charles, placed
in our jail for safo keeping, made his
escape. Stephens is IN old man Of 10
years, and has been almost bedridden

to allow him to sleep 10 the large room
OF the Jail and having pity for the old
nun, the officer consented. For over
month the prisoner behaved himself

For the CHIEF.

BY G. S. BENTLEY

Fair Cora to her henchman said
Horace, bring forth that quadruped,
For whatsoever may betide
will this morning have ride.
The sun has climbed above the hill,
flushed is the noisy whiDpoorwill,
The morning wanes, make no delay,
Bring forth my steed, l must away"
Poor Horace with rueful phiz,
Was suffering from the rheumatic;
Indeed he was in quite a fix,
And had just bathed with No. 6,
With turpentine and Arnicay,"
With which he soaked his back each day
When made aware Of her intent,
He slowly to the stable went,
And, after Strengthening up his back,
United young Fleetwood from the rack,
And on his back, the saddle threw,
And firm and tight, the girth he drew;
Then led him up towards the stile,
Where Cora stood with beaming smile,
With hat and plume, and riding dress,
"A picture rare 0l happiness.
But when the playful steed drew near,
Her cheeks grew ashen pale with fear,
And turning quickly, with u bound
She stood again upon the ground.
Her Sister Anna, standing near,
Did Glide her for her useless fear,
And said that she could see no use,
For acting 50 much like goose.
Then Cora summoned all her pride,
And vowed she'd die or take that ride
Five times she stood upon the stile
And tried, but tried in vain to smile,
Five times the steed was brought quite neal
Yet pallid were her cheeks with fear.
She jumped upon the ground again
Five times with all her might and main.
Then to her sister fair she said,
"Oh won't you ride that quadruped
I'm 50 afraid the beast will shy,
You ride him first, and then will L."
Then Anna, with disdainfu look, e.
Began her "pinb back to unlock;
The ample folds, with dexterous fiirt,
We're changed into riding skirt;
And soon she stood upon the stile,
And thus she spoke with winning smile,
Stand, Fleetwood, stand" the steetl
oheyed,
With whisking tail and bobbing head,
With quivering ear and blinking eye,
AS if to say, g mean to shy"
One foot she in the stlrrup stayed,
Her left hand on the pummel laid,
Then wreathcl her right hand in his looks,
And lightly bounding from the box.
With form erect, and frightened rein
Rode up the hill and doun again,
Down by the house, across the brook,
Then to the right her course she took,
When like messenger for Doctor sent,
With q thumpetty bump away she
went,
Once more stood Cora on the stile,
And there came back Il ghost1y smile.
The faithful stced, draws neal once more,
And did as lie had done before,
She seized tie pumnel with one haad,
And babe him quietly to stand,
Then rising upward with q jump,
She came down on the saddle, 'i thump,'
Her right limb Der the pummel threw,
Her left foot in the stirrap drew,
And grasped the rein and forward bent,
With " tlunpetty bump away she
went.
She first rode up, tAcn down the hill,
Through the lane, across the rill
Through tic valley and Der the plain
We neer shall see her like again
Yet by some it was averred,
That rcry distinctly could be heard
Above the sound Of the horses feet,
Fiat thumpetty bump on the saddle scat.

LOVE.

LOVE.
Why should we wonder when the strongest
plAn,
| IN fOvc, is but as little children are.
Whose natures tremble with the slightest
| jar,
Or waver as the line in battle van.
Why marvel that the thing beloved il seen,
\ The very self OF excellence and worth
In whom the noblest charms in all the
EARTH
Concentered, shine with Loves enrapturcd
| shcen'
For Love will glorify the thing We love,
| And cothc it with a beauty not his own :
| AS in a Waveless lake the starry zone
Aieams with reflected beauty from above.
Love throws around the loved, however fr;,il,
robe OF artless innocence and truth:
An DER the veriest wretch tender ruth
C0nceals all defects with its misty veil.
AZ through tinted glass, the silver stars
With mellow beauty gladden. all the skies.
~, So, holy love to glaring faults supplies
The gentle glory OF its rosy bars.
Love paints the lily with q brighter snow,
And gives the violet a deeper blue;
The pinks and harebells take a liyelier hue
The golden crocus burns with brighter glow
The tiniest flower that peeps above the sod
BECOMES thing of beauty when we love !;
The hawk is then as peaceful as a dove,
The rustic clown is seen q demi-god
AS through the telescope a distant sphere
unturls its countless fields Of blazing skies,
so, III a friend, when viewed with loving
eyes,
A thousand unsuspected charms appear.
Love reigns supreme within the prison walls,
And burns as brightly in the tented camp.
In sculptnred marble, and in dungeons
damp
1t finds a home wherever virtue calls.
Love purifes the heart that feels it's glow:
Strengthens the arm and fires the sleepy
blood
And in its sacred temple dwells food
Of perfect bliss the loveIess never know.
Love is the bond, the golden chain, that
binds
Each to the other in u common good:
Strong in its strength have kings and beg
gars stood
In one harmonious brotherhood of minds.
Love laughs at reason and disowns all law
Itself the grandfst law the world hath
known,
1t stands eternal. undismayed, alone,
The only code that never had flaw!

the journalists of this State, seem to

Boss SHEPAkD's ExIr.-A corres-

ital that Boss Shepard, who recon-
strncted Washington OH grand scale
paving the streets, laying out parks,
planting innnn,erable trees, aud max.
ing the American Capital the most
beautiful city in this hemisphere, is
gone. He is not dead, but has de-
parted to take charge of s1me silver
mines in Mexico. Five years ago he
was millionaire, now he is q bank
rupt. The renovator and beautifier
Of the city, l,e will he remembered as
tho Baron Hausmann Of Washington.
He has modernized the American
Capital as Haus'nann moderDized
Paris. As far as streets and parks
are concerned, little remains to be
done. Shepard crowded the work Of
thirty years into three years aud now
private enterprise is rapidly adding
the architectural supplement Of urban
grandeur. On every street and in al
most every square new and beautiful
edifices are in process Of erection.

October l, but was extended until Mon

duCtors and porters, and took the receipts
from the same, She road agreeing 10 keep
them in REAR and having the privilege Of
using them on its line. Mr.. O. K. Lord
stated that inasmuch as on the Baltimore

a sleeper for the round trip between Bal.
timore and Chicago isin the neighborhood
OF $3.50. the cars paid handsome income

that the Baltimore and Ohio road intend.

Garibaldi was enthusiastically received
by the two hundred thousand people as
sembled. There was no display Of police
and perfect order prevailed. Gen. Carl.
baldi seemed overcome with emotion.
Among those who received him were
many survivors OF the revolutionary bat
ties and the French campaign. The rail-
way stations from San Dannano D'Asti
to Milan were decorated with flowers, and
Gen.. Garibaldi's journey seemed like a
triumphant progress. The enthusiasm at
Milan was such as has not been witnessed
since the days OF the liberation in 1859.
Such large crowd accompanied CARR.
baldi's carriage from the railway station
to the hotel that one OF the horses wss
sutfocated. The popplsce then drew the
carriage along, and showers OF flowers
were thrown at the General. Major
Cranzio thanked the people on behalf OF
General Garibaldi. His iather.in.law,
