attack Gen. Hancock on the sub
ject of the hanging of the unfortu.
nate Mrs. Surratt. But they dare
not hold him to any accountability
for the act, the deed of a Republi-
can military commission which was
ordered by q Republican adminis;ra-
ton, conducted under Republican
auspices. This is u pitiable plight
indeed for the Republican organs
to find themselves in. With them

regime that made possible the exc

and it is doubtless a sorrowful retlec-

mediately connected with that crime
who occupied the attitude of an un-
willing participant in the tragedy is
now the Democratic candidate for

tiny associated them with the exc

OUR MAILS.

Covington has a daily mail from
New Orleans. That is, the Govern
ment has contractor for carrying
a daily mail, and we get our mai
when We can, or when it comes
This week, Tuesdays New Orleans
papers were received Tuesday even
ing. The mail contractor regularly
delivered the mail bags, but no more
daily papers arrived until Thursday
evening. On Wednesday the mail
bag Was empty, except u few letters
and q package for Key West, Fla.
Now this is not an unusual thing.
At no time since the establishment.
of our daily mail has this been diff
ferent. This fact shows the mis-
management of the New Orleans
possotfice. Under Hayes civil SER
vice regulations, everybody about
the office, from the postmaster to
the porter, are SO much afraid of
losing their places that they devote
twice as much time laying plans to
hold on. as they do to their official
duties. And in the meantime, the
mail bags on a daily line go out
empty, and people who subscribe
for and should receive the daily pa
pers do without them, while the
Government pays for their delivery
every day. Thus because the post
office employees in New Orleans
are too worthless or inefficient to
DO their duty, the Government and
people are both robbed Now we
submit that people who know
heir rights are not going to quietly
stand such an outrage, and we beg
o say to the postoffice authorities
md employees in Ne" Orleans, that
f our daily mail is hereafter prop
rly attended to, it will save trouble. |

This summer large number Of
invalids are located in Covington
and vicinity, and so far Miss Reese,
who died last Sunday morning at
the Martindale House, is the only
death that has occurred. A couple
of months ago she was brought here
from New Orleans, in the hope that
the pure air of st. Tammany would
arrest the ravages of consumption
and restore her health; but she was
beyond the reach of any earthly
aid. Her remains were taken to
New Orleans.

TO THE PINES.
A REVERE.

I
Oh! We grave and stately pines,
bend down your verdant crests. and
let your branches, each we'll
strung harp. sing to earth's sad
child the low, sweet, solemn song
he loves SO well to hear. Your fra
GRANGE, waited SO gently upon the
summer zephyrs, lulls tired brain
and jaded heart to rest, and your
shadows, shimmering in the suns
bright rays, fall like benediction
around my frail and languid frame.
Long ere my feet had trod this,
my natal soil, your lefty boughs
danced in the golden light of the
morning sun; your cones shed down
on counties living things a dainty
feast; and your forests, in those
peaceful glades when scarce al echo
the stiffness broke, chanted in sweet
and mournful measure, the praise
which Nature in her majesty eter-
nally pours into the ear of God. How
peacefully the hours slumber
away their brief life within your
charmed circle! How drowsily even
silence itself reposes under the spell
of thy sad haunting refrain, the
chords of whose music steal through
our hearts like tender memories Of
the past! 0! friends of my boyhood,
rife with fond "reminiscences, redo
lent Of glorious scenes and happy
recoilections of the bygone, what
heart can calmly view your ruin by
the Woodlands ungenerous blow!
Nay, let man, for the base use Of
his necessity, seek the destruction
of your less favored brethren of the
forests, and leave you, my majestic
pines, still to bend your buovant
tops to the passing breeze and
brave the frenzy of the storm. Re-
Ginning within your grassy shade, I
am again the happy, dreamy boy
vi twelve years ago. Gone are the
heartaches. the crimes, the remorse,
the unavaiiing tears of the later
time. o! Oblivion, enfold me within
thy mystic robes, press me closely to
thy sbadowy breast, softly kiss away
the sense which :naketh me the inn
mortal I am. and lay me gently
down. to rest on the broad river
whose waters are nepenthe.

DRIVING HoRsEs-Driyinu horse

DRIVING HoRsEs-Driving horses
begins with tie colt, and as he is
broken, that is the kind of horse
he will make. Ii he is broke as a
SLOUGH. that is the kind of a horse
he will be. 1t is just as easy to break
colt right rs any other way. Some
are in too big a hurry. My idea is
to have the colt thoroughly broke
before you attempt to hitch him up;
that is, get him SO he is not afraid
of the harness; SO he will stop when
you tell him to. Teach him to back,
SO ahead, and not to be afraid of
the tugs. even if they are drawn be-
tween his hind legs. Do not whip
HIM unless it is actually necessary.
Better caress than whip, especially
If lie IS of a nervous temperament.
Add all the style you can, for that
is what sells for money. If your
horse is broke as he should be. YOU
know when and where you can trust
him without being kicked or run
away with, and if broken in q
slouchy way you can never trust
him. Some like to see nice horses,
but are too ''shiftless" to have any
of their own. They are either too
lazy to take care of then, OF too big
slouches to hitch them up as they
should be, tc drive well. Some Y ell
at their horses as though they were
deaf. This does no good, as it only
aggrayates them and makes them
worse. Be gentle with your horse
and he will be gentle with you. Do
not jerk him as though he had no
feeling. Imagine yourself in his
place, with an iron bit in your
mouth and somebody jerking at
the rate Of five hundred pounds a
m mute, as some of them do when
they get mad, and swear because
the horse has got out of his place.
Stop and thinks it the horse or
you that is to blame.s-Practicol

If the Angel Gabriel waits until

The New Orleans papers have re-
Gently had great deal to say about
the New Orleans and Northeastern
Railroad, and its immediate con-
struction by a company that has
plenty of money and wants no sub
sides or favors from anybody. This
road, which is projected to cross
Lake Ponchartrain to Lewisburg,
would, if built, be of advantage to
st. Tammany parish, and the road
would doubtless be paying one,
as it would shorten the distance to
the Eastern cities nearly a hundred
miles. While the road should be
built, we fail to see any immediate
prospect in that direction. There
is nobody in New Orleans, that we
can hear of, interested IN it. The
reputed managers, directors, etc,
go to the city to hold their meet
ings, when they might as well hold
them at some other point nearer
their own places Of business. There
is an air of mystery about their
movements that does not look bust
ness-like, to say the least. With
out a charter or some other author
ity from Congress, railroad can
not be built across Lake Ponchar-
train, and we do not believe Con-
gress has ever taken any action on
the subject. This important point
has apparently been overlooked by
the city papers in discussing this
subject. We are in favor of the
but we have little faith in
the parties who are talking about
building it.

HAYES removed Arthur from tn

Hayes removed Arthur from the
office of Collector of the Port of
New York, because of his villainy.
Now Arthur ornaments the Repub-

Republican party made mistake
in nominating Arthur. 1t is not
