| Wonder Why.

wonder why it is that some
Through all their days and nights and years
Gather the sunshine of this life,
And others are only clouds and tears
wonder why it is that some
Dance, laugh, and jest, while others weep
That some no wakeful hours see,
While some know not what it is to sleep?
wonder why it is that balm
Into some lives is always poured,
While others know not what it is
To hear sympathetic word
Think not 1 jeer or murmur at
This mixture of life's bliss and woo.
Think not grumble or repine,
Ionly wonder that it's SO.
For many heart when touched by grief
Would bask in sunshine like it's mate,
And could appreciate change
Although its coming might be late.
And many lips would taste lifc's wine,
And harvest of each coming year,
And many heart rejoice to find
Fair, ripened corn within the ear.
But long as life goes on there'l be
For some, rich bliss, for others, woe,
And though murmur not or sigh,
Iwonder that it must be SO.

Cottage Grove Picnic.
GUM SPRINGS, La. MAY &c


Editor Banner-Dear Sir: One
of the most pleasant and joyous
days of the season was Thursday
10Th inst, and long will it be remem-
bered by the light and happy hearts
of over three hundred people who
had collected Oh the hill overlooking
the modest little village of Cottage
Grove. Upon the picnic grounds
was erected an arbor under which
seats had been arranged and saw
dust scattered upon the grass for
the young and gay to engage in the
dance, while the middle aged men
were collected in groups under the
bowers OF the majestic oaks that
adorn the hill, discussing Court
house and fence law matters, Sc.
AT the hour of two dinner was
announced. The dance, Court house
and all other matters were now lost
sight of, and the immense throng of
men, women and a host of dear little
children, were now seated on the
green around the immense display
of refreshments. Roast pigs, NUT
ton, chickens, salads of all descrip-
ton, and the greatest variety and
quantity of cakes adorned the table.
The feast reminded us of anti
beltam times, and was calculated to
make the hungry man feel that good
times were about to dawn upon the
land once more.
After dinner the company adjourn
ed to meet again at o'clock at the
large and commodious hall in the
Cottage Grove Seminary, where the
dance was again resumed and car
ried on until the small hours of the
night.
We noticed in the throng our
young friends Milling and Hibbett,
from Shreveport, who seemed to en-.
joy themselves. Mr.. Ernest Wyche
was in attendance at the ball at
night. We were delighted to have
him with us, but regret that Belle
vue could not honor us with more of
her worthy citizens, particularly
yourself, Mr.. Editor, whose genial
face we are always pleased to well
come.
Professors Cleveland and Romby
furnished delightful music. tn fact,
the whole thing was a complete sue
cess, and the people had ga jolly
good tlme." MASHED.

Shreveport Standard Goth ult.l

Shreveport Standard, 10Th ult
From Major T. G. Dabney, the
efficient chief assistant engineer oil
the Vicksburg, Shreveport aud Pa.
cific railway, we learn the following
particulars regarding the progress
being made in the construction of
this important road.
Grading in finished continuously
eastward from Shreveport y miles,
and will be completed to Red Chute
within the next month.
Captain Sanchez, with his convict
force is now moving to Fee Fee
swamp, two miles east of Red Chute,
and Capt. Hustled, with his convict
force, will go east of Sanchez after
completing the grading to Red Chute.
Three miles of the line, some of
which is very heavy, east of Dor
cheat bayou, has been completed by
the two convict forces under Leaa &c
and Bradshaw, and both of these
forces are about to push further
eastward.
Nearly all Of the remainder of the
line is either being worked by sub.
contractors, or is reserved for the
convict forces. A steam shovel is
being put in operation between Dor
cheat bayou and Arcadia, and dump
cars on several parts of the line.
The Major informs us the grading
is progressing generally in a very
satisfactory manner on this end OF
the line, and we hope soon to hear
the snort of the engine on the oppo.
site side of the river. From all the
information we can CLEAN, the con-
tract for the bridge over Red River
will be given out soon and the con
struction commenced. God speed
the work.

H Jack Chapman, colored, con.
victed of the murder of another col
ored man and sentenced by Judge
Drew to be hanged at the September
term of Bossier District Court, and
now confined in our parish Jail, will
doubtless hang at an early day, the
iugment of the lower Court having
been recently affirmed by the SUI
preme Court. Following is synop-
sis of the decision:
No. 8405-State of Louisiana VS..
Jack Chapman.-Appeal from the
District Court Of Bossier Parish
The power of the District Court to
correct its minutes so as to make
them conform to the truth is recog-
nized and well settled in our juris-
prudence. The fact that in passing
a sentence of death on a criminal
the District Judge fixes in his judg-
ment the day and date of the execu-
tion-a duty devolying upon the
Governor--does not vitiate the
Judgment or the trial, and will afford
no relief TO the defendant on appeal.
That portion of the sentence will be
considered as unwritten. The Su-
preme Court will not review the re-
fusal of new trial on a motion in
volving questions of law blended
with facts, unless the grounds are
incorporated in a bill of exceptions.
State VS.. Nelson, 80 A., $40, re-
affirmed.
