Editor Democrat:
The pleasant spring time has come,
the rains have ceased, the sun shines III
all splendor, nature is renewing life the
forest trees and shrubhery are putting
on green foliage, the birds sing sweet
and the song OF the plowman is heard
as he plods his way. But let us use the
words of Tom Moore in one OF his odes
to Anacrein. The poet revels i'll all the
love of spring and flowers:
Buds of roses, virgin flowers
Culled from Cupid's balny bowers, -.
In the bowl of Bacchus stepped
Till with crimson drops they weep,
TWine the roses. the garland tWlne,
Ever leaf distilng wine,
Drink and smile, and learn to THINK.
That we were born to smile aud drink,
Rose: thou art the sweetest Hover
That ever drank the amber shower,
Rose thou art the fOndest child
OF dinped spring, the wood-nymph wild,
Even the Gods that walk the sky,
Are amorous of thy scented sigh.
Cupid too, i'll paphrian shades
His hair with rosy tillets braids
Then bring me showers of roses. bring
And shed them round me while sing.
SO to the happy spring and love Ioni
Moore could sing, and as Qpelousas IS
said to be city of roses we hope It's
fair inhabitants will not take the above
amiss.
Now to other siftings. The farmers
on Elm Bayou Gn St. Landry,) are pro-
crossing satisfactorily with their farm
work since the dry days set in week
ago. This is a good section of country
for farming and is settling up with an
industrious class of people. From a
gentleman living on Crocodile Bayou
we learn that quite a business is now
done on the bayou in rafting logs. Sew
eral heavy RATS have lately passed
down for the saw mills at St. Peters
Wilson's and Dossman's, the timber
RATED consists OF pine, and cypress
There is no better timber in the State
than that laying along and contiguous
to Crocodile Bayou.
In conversation yesterday with Mr.
S. M. Jones Of Barbreck Plantation we
learn that farm work had been moving
forward rapidly for the past week III
that section of the country.
For Avoyelles corn is coming up and
looks we'll. The farmers are all busy
every one trying to gain lost time ii
such thing is possible. On the tiger
Bend plantation we have sOwn a small
lot say half acre to lucern for an exper-
iment. We shall watch this very care
fully and report the result for the
Democrat. We shall set some land tt
German Millet, ETC., etc.
RAIL ROAD NOTES.
The carpenters have commenced to
build the first depot going south from
Cheneyville on the n. 0. Pacific R. Z
the section has been finished at the
same point, now known as the Iron
Plantation, but we understand the
name of the station will be "Bunkie'
this new place is located in fine sec.
ton Of country and there is every reas.
on to believe that Bunkie's station viii
at an early day grow to Bunkie's city
and eventually become the capital o.
Avoyelles.
In our last report we said that Marks
vile was to have Il daily mail. W.
learn since that such is not tbs case TO
the present.

4 YANKEE IN a RAILROAD RES
T4ER4ET

An English traveller in this country
relates this incident, which he witnessed
at one of our railroad restaurants: At
some of the American railway stations
1t is customary to have fixed charge
for good, substantial meal. On one
occasion / was very much amused by
the maneuvers of green Yankee who
was unacquainted with the rules, and
evidently aimed at sustaining nature as
economically as possible. After care
full scrutiny of the viands, and sundry
hesitating movements, he at length de-
cided to treat himself to bun and a
glass of water; and, as he munched and
drank, could detect self-suficient ex-
preston in his glance at the gormandiz-
ers, which seemed to imply, eyes, it's
all very pleasant now, but wait till the
reckoning comes" The twenty minutes
allowed for dinner had almost elapsed
when our abstemlous philosopher
marched boldly up to a beautiful young
woman who presided at the counter, and
held forth 2 cents, saying, in banter
ing tone:
"Tve had bun, and glass Of water,
tew, but calkilate you don't charge for
that"
"Fifty cents. If you please, sir, - was
the young lady's calm reply.
"Fifty cents for bun and glass of
water! Do you see any green in this
child's eyes?'
"Fifty cents for dinner, sir. We
have one stated price, as you can see by
the principal notices, and eat whatever
you like
The Americans have keen enjoyment
of practical joke; and the spectacle Of
a cute Yankee, who so cleverly over
reached himself, tickled the bystanders
exceedingly as they crowded round to
gaze on the individual who had been SO
"severely sold" But "this child" was
not so easily discounted. He glanced
at the clock. Perhaps there was still
time to'retrieve his false position.
FIFTY cents, AID eat whatever you
ike-eh ?"
"That's So"
Paying his 30 cents, without another
word, the Yankee sprang upon the eat
ables like famished wolf. With one
hand he secured plate of ham, with
the other dish of custards While his
greedy eyes roved over distant dainties,
he darted at every dish within his reach,
heaping his plate with the most hete-
rogeneous comestibles, and swallowing
indiscriminately the contents of savory
and fruit pies. preserves, pickles, vege-
tables, etc. Judging from his voracity,
his object seemed to be, not to eat so
cents worth, but to empty every dish on
the table. Luckily, perhaps, for him,
at this critical moment the signal for
starting was given, and the Yankee,
casting glance of despair at the table,
started up with red face and protruding
eyes, and, with chunk" OF bread and
cheese in his hand, made his way to the
train, where he subsidized, after the fashion
Of a gorged Demonstration.
