A PROMISING PoEF.-One of our
North Louisiana contemporaries calle
favorable .attentiaa' to spomer
contributed to lf,s columns by -
promising and .dlented Young eosress'
pondent.' The subject elaborated in
rhyme by this sweet singer of the
piDey woods is the crying evil of
dram drinking, or "The destruction
Of young men," In order that the
readers softhe CHIEF may also render
tribute to the genius Of the youthful
poet, We append few verses cifi1ed
from the remarkable production:
How often is the case III
Youthful men to see,
| Standing around the .place
OF the =" nimble in the knee.
The peculiar designation here ap-
Piled to bar rooms-'' the place Of the
nimble in the knee may not be TO-
garded exactly lucid or appropriate,
but it certainly possesses the merit
Of originality. Further on the poet
sighs:
It makes us feel quite sad
While walking down the street
| To hear a youthful lad
Say, "now it is your treat"
Yes, yes, we comprehend it is the
form Of the expression that fills the
poets gentle soul with sadness.
CHOW it is your treat" has indeed
an unpleasant sound to the sensitive
ear; but when the exclamation
"Come on, boys, it's my treat!" is
heard, then does sense of joy and
thankfu|ness well up in tho poets
heart Of 4earts' and, =! ne e. :, wipes the
moisture from his lips to give full
swing to bis approving "smile." 1t
is plain to be seen that our youthful
warbler is q person Of mature jndg-
ment and considerable experience,
despite his tender years. The conclu-
ding verse, With some inconsistency
perhaps, which'may be overlooked as
"poetic license" contains. a sisnol'-
ing appeal to youth'tocveid.the deep
damnation of. the flowing bowl.
To. wit:
We ask you now young man,
| AS a special favor,
Never to Learn to love,
The drinking Of the liquor"
We trust no hard hearted young
men will hurt the feelings of this gen
tie singer by refusing hts reasona ble
request and above all that they will
never shock his sensibilities by ask
ing him to "sst 'cm up"
The paper publishing this effasiou
"hopes TO lave frequent productions
from the pen Of this promising poet,
but if We had any influence in the
premises, we should bring the
promising" faculty Of the rnymste,
into play and make linn promise
never t" affiict the suffering public
with another "effort" in the poetic
line. - -n's f

Our sanguire confyeres Of the Louis
lana press who have been expressing
the conviction that s" Kellogg must
co." aud that 'instanter, have evil
IDENTIFY been jnst'a little too previous.
Discussion Of the Kellogg Spofford
case in the Democratic Senate caucus
has developed considerable opposition
to its early consideration, and there
is decided probability that the mat
ter will 60 over until next session. A
number Of Senators evidently eppre-
bend that the unseating of Kellogg at
this time would afford tile Repnb-
licans material for tho manufacture
of political capital in Tie pending
presidential campaign. We venture
to prognnsticate that if Mr.. Kellogg
is not ousted this session he will re-
tain his seat to the end of His term.

what is to our mind very sagacious

An amusing feature of the presi-
Dental discussion is the. attempt of so
many Democratic papers to convince
Republicans that Grant is their weak
est candidate, and tile counter en-
deavor of Republican journals to i'm
press the opposition with the belief
that Tilden is the strongest man in
thei.' ranks. The conclusion isobvions
that the Democratic organs dread the
nomination Of Grant, while the Re-
publican organs desire the candidacy
of Tilden. The New York Sun in
clines to the opinion that Grant and
Tilden will be the nomineea and that
a split in both parties will result !;
that the lisaffeetad elements will then
rform a fusion, and place third can
lidate iu the field. Nois reJtrons.

Ephrsta, Peun, 21.-During the pro-

the public school in the Public Hall, at
Lincoln, last night, at which about 500
persons were present, part of the floor
gave way, precipitating between 100 and
$50 persons to the floor below. Many
escaped by jumping out of windows,
which are about twelve feet from the
ground. About thirty persons were in
iured some severely. Among the latter
are Mrs. Jacob Koenigmacher, Misses
Alice Bowman, Ada Springer, Ada
Miller, Laura Erb and Christie Binga-
man. During the confusion the scholars
rushed on the stage, ovetturniDg two coaI

A SENSATION.
RuHnOF That Grant Has Be-
come Food for Fishes.

Galveston, PA strong gale, accom-
panied by rain, has prevailed on the
coast here for the past eighteen hours.
Shipping In the outer roads of the hsr-
/ Der las, some instances, met serious dis
| astef. The Norwegian ship Reform,
with 5000 bales of cotton for Havre
parted her cable and went to pieces. The
crew, together with fifteen slevedores
and two pilots, we're lost. The revenue
cutter Mclean went ID the rescue, but
was compelled to return. A yaWl boat
from the ship came ashore on the gulf
side OF the city, tonight, but no tidings of
! the missing men have been received The
I cargo was valued at $780, 900. The night
Is dark, wind high, and sea rough, with
no probability of the abatement of the
storm, at present Fears are entertained
for the safety Of the city Of 1erieo, with
General Grant and party on beard. She
was due this afternoon, but thus far
pilots are unable to detect the steamer in
sight. 1t Is surmised that tn .te4mer
Will change its course to New Orleans as
the gale Is from the northeast, ard it is
impossible 10 enter this port during the
present high wind. If it is possible for
her TO leave her anchorage, the Mclean
Will go out on q cruise tomorrow morn

bark Reform. General Ord and staff
have arrived on special train from San
Antonio TO meet Grant.

Washington, 22.-There is a rumor
afoat here to-day that the steamer CITY
Of MericO, on which General Grant is a
passenger, has been disabled, and another
that she has been lost at sea. The grounds
for these rumors are that the City of
Neric0 is overdue, aud that she has not
yet been signaled by pilots. She was
due at Galveston yesterday. Inquiries
