MY sweetheart has a red-brown beard

And bonnie eyes of blue
OF no ten men is he afesr'd,
To one wee maid he's true;
For 1 stand lowly by his side,
A lily by syew.
He took a bullock by the head,
And bore the bullock down
He threw John Plumbers lump Of lead
From Gallow's-hill to town
And yet his arm around my waist,
Is soft as satin gown.
You may have brighter eyes than mine,
And better-colored hair;
Your hands may be more white and fine,
Your frightened waist more spare.
You charm all other men-I him,
want no charm you bear.

been treated with more injustice and

The Drama.

On Monday night the "Star ALI
ance Opera Company commenced
their engagement at this place. We
might say that they had created in
advance the most favorable impress
sion by the highly f1attering notices
which have appeared wherever they
have appeared. The large and ap.
preciative audience by which they
we're greeted on their first night gave
ample proof of the inclinations of our
community and their disposition to
accord to a talented combination
such a recognition as they deserve.
The bill presented for the evening
comprised the operate and Dramat-
ic three act sensation, "Maritana,' u
and a final piece, the Operatic Fair

THE JESSE K. BELL!

Our new and superbly palatial
steamer, built expressly for this trade
and withal side wheeler, made her
maiden appearance at this Town.
early Monday morning. She was re-
ceived by salvos of the 'two old an
wis.," from Alexandria and Pinevilie,
and the bViou, John c. Rogers, hoist
ed her colors in her honor and salu-
ted her with blasts of her whistle.
The Bell approached the wharf, with
flying colors, and answered all these
salutes with her harmonious and so
norous gong whistle. Conspicuous
among her flags were the Rex-colors
of Capt. Dick Sinuott, who has leave
of absence specially to mount the
deck of his peerless and nonpar'et
steamboat.
Twice in these columns have we
treated our legion of readers to a full
and complete description of this
steamer, and now we have to add
from personal observation and in
spection, that they were all more
than merited, in fact, fall short OF
her merits, outfit and finish. No
boat that ever foated can claim ell
perior accommodation in all regards
to the Jesse X. Bell, and the people
of her trade, the best one in the Red
River Valley, should feel proud OF
having such perfect and complete
steamer in our trade. 1t now re
mains to be seen whether Capt. Sim
mott will be patronized as he merits,
and deseryedly so, to the full lions
share of his favorite trade, and one
that in our opinion, he has honored
with the finest steamboat ever built
for it, and invested large capita
which would of itself make nine men
out of ten comfortable and contented
The Bell is entirely Differed by
the old crew of the favorite old Bart
Able, takes her place as Saturday
Packet, and goes down regularly

Report Of the superintendent Of
Public Education for 1879.

Through the kindness of Thos.
Mcintyre we have received the An.
nual Report of the Hon. R. NJ. Lush
err, State Superintendent of Public
Education, for 1879. We have pc
rused it with much interest, and
were at some pains to ascertain his
views in relation to the plans to be
pursued in securing, under the pro-
visions of the new Constitution, the
best results in the organization of a
Public School system for the State.
AS our readers are aware, the limit
of taxation by the State is six mills.
1t has been assumed that of this
amount the allowance for school
purposes would be insufficient to
maintain anything like system of
schools for a time long enough to
accompli III any material good. Mr..
Lusher, after a careful examination
Of the whole matter, concludes that
the Legislature have it in their pow
err to set aside a total of one and five
sixths mills from the six mills tax.
In Document 8 of the Report COM
plete exhibit is made of all the reve-
nues for school u'poses. While
the fund derived from the State levy
would be comparatively small the
total, including the Poll.tax, which
will hereafter be expended in the
Parishes in which it will be collect
ed, will be considerably in excess of
what it has been for several years
past. The levy made by the Police
jury in this Parish, and in others,
will more than make up the dimin-
ished fund raised by the State, pro
yided it can be collected. We have
no doubt that the present Legislature
will make every provision possible
to sustain and carry on the system
of Free Schools, which Mr.. Lushel
and the present administration have
done so much to bring to their pres.
ent degree of success. The Report
contains many suggestions and re-
concentrations worthy the attention
of teachers and others, who feel an
interest in popular education.
In his relegatirn to private life
Mr.. Lusher carries with him the
highest regard and best wishes Of all
who are capable of approaching his
eff ,rts in behalf of Education in
Louisiana.

He COMES.

In the light of the declaration of
the late Republican Convention in
Pennsylvania, it would seem that
1.-The man on horseback with which
The country has been threatened, at
intervals, for several years past, is
something more than a myth. We
are no longer permitted to believe
that the Republican leaders have
lost any of that fearless and aggres-
sive spirit with which, in years past,
they have been accustomed to con
front their adrersaries. Whether
"within' or "without" tie Constitu
ton, under the "forms of law or in
open violation of all law, they have
manifested the same reckless and
defiant disregard of established prec-
edent, as characterized the action OF
the late Convention at Harrisburg.
The third term principle has been
so fully canvassed by the press, and
by the leaders in both parties, dur
ing the past few years, that there is
no feature of it with which our read
ers are not familiar. The tendencies
of Rcpublicanism towards centralIza-
tion and strong government in
which, if the identity of the States
is not actually lost by an oblitera-
ton of State lines, would be virtually
so. have become so manifest that the
issue upon that point is fully made
up. In whatever way the Republi,
cans, for the time being, may think
it advisable to disguise their real
designs, the conclusion is plain and
admits of no denial. Perhaps it is
best that the people of the United
States should have presented tc
them, at the earliest moment, for f.
nal adjudication, and in the most di
rect manner, the question of the life
tenure of the Presidential Office and
the merging of all the rights of the
States in the one central government,
located at Washington. We appre
bend that the finances and all Other
questions in which the public, a
large, at the present time, is absorb
ed, will be lost sight of in the Presi
Dental canvass should General Gran
be made the nominee of the Republi
can party.

EXTRA TERM Of THE SUPREME
COURT.

A bill has passed the State Senate,
and is now before the Lower House,
providing !or an additional term OF
the Supreme Court at Shreveport.
We are not prepared to say what
efforts are being made by our R"pre
sen,atiycs 10 secure The substitution
Of Alexandria for Shreveport, but a
consideration Of the relative advan-
tases Of the two places, we must
think. would he sufficient to carry
great ODDS in favor Of this tnwn.
1t will he remembered that Aleyan
dria had term Of the Supreme Court
until after the War, and that it was
only then moved because it was sup
posed there was no room large
enough for it, which, in fact, was not
the case. Alexandria is GENITAL and
might i've male the Appeal term for
all North Western Louisiana, rs it
formerly was, and. the facilities OF
access are uninterrupted throughout
the wear; while Shreveport is lora-
ted in an extreme corner Of the State,
and at the season when the term
would be held can only be reached
by traversing Texas, or by a pro,
tracted journey up Red River. There
is not single reason which can he
adluced in favor of the selection OF
Shreveport that cannot be urged,
with far greater consistency and pro-
prioty, in favor of Alexandria. The
Court House at this place is the
largest and best in the State, outside
of New Orleans, and the hotel accom-
modations are not surpassed by any
other town. We would most respec.
lively invite the attention Of our Sen
ator and Representatives, and Others
who are apprized of the facts, to the
importance of this matter and the
satisfaction it would give to much
the greater number of those who are
interested, to bring this term of the
Supreme Court TO Alexandria. We
are constrained to think that only {
very imperfect presentation of the
facts could influence the members o
the Legislature 10 give the prefer
ence to Shreveport. The interest:
of the public demand that the bill a:
it passed the Senate should bt
amended and Alexandria substituted
for Shreveport.
