EXPRESS OFFICE ROBBED.

Last week the Express office at Gil
rard station received u box for Ellis s.
Co., of Oak Ridge, containing $1,000 in
silver. The box could not be got in
the safe and was placed under the
counter and concealed. Sunday morn
ing the box was missed. A lad about
II years old was found to have been
spending money rather freely, and
was charged by the Express agent with
the robbery. From conductor Skip
with we learn that the lad is son of
an estimable citizen, Mr.. James San
ders, but is unfortunately not wholly
sound in mind. He at once confessed
the crime, saying that he carried the
box off in the woods and took out the
and 1874 of the money has been recov
cred. The lad says he had no accomp-
lice, and entered the Office alone through
the door which he found open. He
fails, however, to account for the money
not yet recovered. The case will
undergo investigation by the grand
jury of Richland, which will assemble
at Rayville next Monday. The money
not recovered will be replaced by young
Sanders's relatives, or from his own
means, he having but recently received
a legacy of several thousand dollars
from deceased uncle.

RED S'rlCk.

In connection with the city OF Baton
Rouge, the origin of the name Baton
Rouge, which is the French for "Ited
Stick" as published in Niles Register
in 1886, will prove interesting. The
legend reads:
"At this time, 1856, the keel boat Bien-
Vile left Fort Duquesnc (now Pitts
burg), where flows tho beautiful Ohio,
to carry an officer and his family to
New Orleans, he having been recalled
to France. The passage down was
without event until they landed mt a
bayou near the bluff or site where
Baton Rouge now stands. Shortly af-
ter landing, they were surprised by
Indians, who savagcly killed the Off
Ger, his wife and children; the crew,
who were aboard, escaped by pullin.
out into the river. There, in sight of
the crew, the Indians stripped u piece
of bark, from an elm trec,and besmear-
ing it with the blood OF their victims,
planted it on tn" bank rs warning to
tho French who might approach, the
fate that awaited them. After this the
hill was occupied by the French, who
gave it the name of Baton Rouge
Red Stick"

III MelnOrialll.

Died. October 22nd, 1852, WILLIE, Oldest son
of DR. M. L. Bow man and Cora Davidson:
aged IL years, month and % days.
a lovely bud, yet far from it's b1ossomina
into flower, has been plucked by the
ruthless hand Of Death.
Our blue-eyed darling is gone, and his
untimely departure leaves Eus sad and
weeping. Willie was child, but merely
in age and form, for his mind was truly
noble for the supposed capacity of his
years. So great were his charms, his affec-
ton and gentleness ofspirit that our little
friend was a glorious promise. Now,
''The silver chord is loosed and the colder
bowl is broken at the fountain" The
angel of Death has snatched from earth a
fair and fayorite child, fathers hope and
a mothers pride. That sweet voice will
never again make glad tho hearts Of fond
parents, loving sisters and brothers, for
our gentle Willie, too pure for this world
has flown to blissful home above, and
to remind us ofhis blitheful nature, nothing
remains but sad mementoes.
Bereaved parents, cease to weep for your
idolized child, cen though his gentle voice
is hushed in death, and his dear little form
laid away i'll the grave. ''He is not dead
but sleepcth.' His sweet spirit is shining
in Heaven, where he joins that happy band
of little angels in singing the praises Of
God, and where he still loves and watches
over you.
You miss your pure darling but would
you recall
That little one bcauteous and fair?
Know you not that carth's waste was too
dreary and bleak
For one tender and rare?
'Twas at the call ofthc Savior your little
boy fled
To that beautiful home far above,
TO join with the angels in singing II is
praise
In the glorious anthem of love.

..JAGK-POT'' IN POLyICs.

Nearly the entire mentg anu hu"A
cial resources Of the Republican party
of Louisiana are conce1rated in the
3rd district in favor of, o. in opposition
to Kellogg. The WHY Senator has
managed to get a monopoly OF Repub-
lican smiles, or frown, and the result
is that none of the Candidates in the
other districts are mich noticed. Nc
Millen is, perhaps, he least favored
candidate in the whole "lay-out."
But for the courtesiE and attentions he
has received from the Democrats and
from the Democratic press it is highly
probable it wou4 not be generally
known that he is candidate at all.
And, as fact, is only generally
known, as it is. People have some.
what crude, coyfused idea that Nc. is
running over IN the Mississippi and
trying to get up small sensation about
his going to Congress some time in the
near future; But there is a dreaminess,
a sort of faro6ness about the matter
that leaves one in state of perplexity
and disquieude. The General came to
Monroe, it is true, and, as he formally
announced in New Orleans, "to open
the canvass" and it is true that he
opened the canvass in the presence of
20 Democrats to one Republican; but
the canvass closed almost Immediately
after N1cMillen had got it open. Driv-
ing leisurely along down the river he
made spirited effort before small
audience at Columbia, threw some old
rusty shells at Fort Beauregard in rear
of Harrisonburg, and then sloped for
New Orleans, hy way of Vidalia "to
take breathing spell,' SO one of our
metropolitan exchanges had it. It is
apparent that Nc. was outdone by his
efforts ssto open the canvass" and we
think he adopted statesmanlike
course-one worthy of a Crimean hero
and especially of an Ohio MANN hur-
rying out Of the canvass before it closed
on him away from home. There were
solid chunks of wisdom in that Ohio
idea. And it was proper-the expedi-
tion having terminated on the Misss.
sippi-that McMillen should go down
the river to his post office, and inquire
for his mail, instead of going up the
river to his home in East Carroll where
tho canvass may fairly be supposed to
have been open all the time. We be-
lieve, in truth, there is perennial can
vass wherever Nc. lives. 1t is circum-
ambient-on all sides, above and be-
low. A short stay, however, meteo-
icvisit, us it were, is not sufficient,
and that it is the reason we are with
out an open canvass in this district.
We have heard that there is game of
cards called Jackpot poker, where the
pot, or sum of the antes cannot be dis |
turbed by any player unless he hold
jacks, when he may come in, or "open
the pot" McMillen may have played
this game, and he doubtless thought
he held jacks when he set out to open
the canvass. But one was a King, and
tho canvass failed to be opened.
