AN EPISODE.

II newspaper men have a hard row
to hoe, occasionally, they have a
tolerably good time.
The occasion Of the meeting of the
Press at Baton Rouge in the early
part of this month, was productive of
considerable enjoyment in a quiet
way. A good deal of what happen
ed will never be transmitted to fu-
ture generations. Even the follow
ing episode would have tumbled into
the bottomless pit of oblivion, had
there not been several representa-
tives of the fair sex in the car occu-
pied by the members of the Press
during their excursion trip to New
Orleans. Among the very amiable
ladies to whom we refer, was the fair
correspondent of the Donaldsonville
Chief, "Vivian," who ventilates thus
Is what she saw:
"But l have not told you about
our trip down Tuesday. 1t was very
enjoyable, owing to the representa-
tives of the Louisiana Press being on
board. How could it be otherwise.
while listening to the witty repartees
of the editor OF the Chief and gallant
remarks Of the CApIToLIAN scribe
and others. They were on their way
to the Crescent City to partake of an
elegant supper, by invitation of Ma
jor L. A. Burke, Of the n. o. Demo-
crat. I'm sure they had as delight
full q time as they anticipated, and /
regretted that it was not any other
evening than that of the soiree, SO
that might have been one of that
gay party. On Wednesday, heard
short but glowing account of their
visit, and also Of the magnificent new
press Of the Democrat, and I'm posi-
tive that all our country editors will
be devoured by the green-eyed mon
ster, Jealousy, and be wild with envy
for some time to come. There was
an interesting little episode on our
down trip. The local editor of the
Advocate came very near missing the
train, in fact, did miss it, and run
ming to overtake it, became exhaus-
ted, and just as he jumped into the
car, tainted. Such excitement! three
or four editors rushed to his assis-
tance. we ladies sent a fan and would
have offered our services. but no
more attention was necessary than
was shown. The yoang representa-
tive of one of the F'elicianas was
using the fan vigorously, while Ma
jor Burke called for ice, and in the
Excitement rubbed the tainting mans
head with q bottle of wine which he
happened to have in his hand at the
time, oblivious of the fact, or with
full knowledge OF the exhilarating,
|reyiying effect of wine, until rosy
editor that does not live thousand
miles away from the Highland City
called out, .Look out. Major, don't
strike that bottle against Sambola's
cheek or it will break" During all
this commotion, the editor of the
|CAPIToLIAN, instead of flying to the
laid of his brother editor, sat calmly
Iin the commissary department, with
the lunch baskets before him, and
with another gentleman, was calcu-
lating how they could divide twen-
ty- -four birds among thirty six per-
sons. giving one to each and resers-
ing goodly share for themselves.
When the sufferer slightly revived,
haillng this as an omen OF the return
to life and hope. Later on, the pi- |
ous members of the press wereshOck- |

DEATH or THE PnEslD1n7,

On last Monday night, at 1895. the
suAerings Of President Garfield came
to an end. He sank into that slum-
Der from which he is not to awaken
until the trumpet Of the Day Of Judg-|
ment calls up the souls whom God
has placed on earth,
President Garfield, was one OF
Americas great self-made men. By|
dint Of hard work, study and good
conduct,he rose step by step asa pro-
fessional man, q soldier and q states
man, till a great party 10 heal in-|
|ternal dissentions, chose as its stand ]
lard bearer.
Like all men who have long figured
l in public affairs, he was vulnerable|
to the attacks of his political oppo-|
nents, who nevertheless gave him credit
with being the possessor ofa manly,
patriotic heart.
When it was in order, we support
ed heart and soul his competitor, the|
brave and chivalrous Hancock butt
when the voice of the American peo-|
/ pie gave James A. Garfield the pre-
ference over our choice, with the mass
Iof the good citizens of the Union wei
bowed obedience to the popular de-
|cree.
President Garfield had hardly been
Installed in Office, than he exhibited
10 loftiness of character and an homes
|ty of purpose which soon won the re-
|spect and the confidence Of the whole
people.
But when the bullet of the misera-|
Ible assassin penetrated his body,|
There was not a bosom in which beats
IN heart that is true to the instincts|
(which elevate man above the brute,|
Ithat did not swell with sorrow for the|
innocent victim and with deadly ha-
tired for the reptile who had sought
Ito deprive America of her patretic|
Chief Magistrate.
Day after day the people anxiously|
read the bulletins relating to the con-
|dition of the noble sufferer, whose
firm and patient bearing excited their
|liveliest solicitude. Then too, their
sympathy had been awakened for the
true and heroic wife, the tender moth
Yer and the devoted children of the|
man who was the giant oak around
(which their love was entwined.
God would not have him live. Yeti
lin his mercy, he chose to present the
affecting spectacle we have portrayed
Ito the contending and discordant|
masses Of the conntry.
Like the Savior's Healing Balm, i'll
|smoothed the asperities of party and
sectional strife, till at last the North
and the South, the Greyan the Blue,
|knelt at the bedside of the first mani
Whom, from one end to the other, the
reunited country recognized as the
respected President of the United
States.
What the paltisan legislation of
the Republican party, backed by the
|bayonets of the Federal army had|
failed to- do, the martyred President,|
Whose soul above, doubtless, saying j
|"Tis sweet to die Tor those we loye,n|
accomplished in his bed of suflcring|
and earthly death.
May the Almighty God bless the|
soul of James A. Garfield, his family
and the great people whose heads are|
bent in genuine sorrow over his cruel
death.
