The Pedestrian,

Are to-day enjoying the rest of the weary,
after long, tedious, tiresome tramp. During
the evenings of their labors, when the attend
ance was large and renewed vigor and stimu-
liant was occasioned BY the brilliant light in
the hall. and the enlivening music from the
band, the walkers appeared to nerve them
selves to the trying requirements OF their
self-imposed task. At other timez, during
the early hours before dawn, and in the quiet
hours Of their day attendance each legonian
appeared a mere machine, and poor one at
that. Many observers attributed their won
derful powers OF endurance to some secret
connected with their shoes, from the fact

our RrOonns,

The New Orleans Pcdyune is gone on our
Broom Guards, judging from the following /:
efforts are being made to induce the re-
nowned Tennessee Broom Brigade to come to
New Orleans to participate in the entertain
ment at the French operahouse for the bene-
fit of the sufferers in the overlooked districts.
This fine corps will not only have the oppor-
tunity of aiding in cause in which Mem
phis is as deeply interested as New Orleans,
but will enjoy pleasant trip. The renowned
militia company OF Memphis, the Porter
Guards, are coming to enter the competitive
drill, so that the ladies would enjoy the escort
OF their brothers, and fathers, and friends and
we are sure they wilt be taken good care of
in our city. We may, perhaps, suggest a
further incentive to the Tennessee girls. New
Orleans is organizing two such battalions
Captain Terry is drilling the "Sweet Sweep
ers" and Captain William Pierce is training
the Continental Guards Broom Rangers.
During the intermission in the performance
of the opera Patience the Tennesseans may
try their skill in competition with Louisiana
bellies. 1t is needless to add that the enter
tainment is under the auspices of some of the
leading ladies Of the city, and no pains will
be spared in promoting the comfort If their
lady guests. The militia drill, which is to
take place on the 23d and oath of May, two
days before the performance at the opera
house, promises to be very exciting. The
Helena Rines, oil Arkansas, the Houston
Light Infantry, Galveston Light Guards, and
Mobile Rifles will be present in addi-
ton to the Porter Guards. From our
own city the Crescent Rifles, Louisiana
Rifles, Company A, Washington artillery,
and company of the First regiment will
enter for the prizes. This of itself will prove
an attraction that will draw large numbers
from the surrounding States. But the aid Of
the pretty Broom Brigade is also needed to
add zest to the entertainment, and we join
our entreaty TO those already made for the
pleasure OF their company at the May en-
tertainmept. 1t is to be hoped our business
men will join the movement to make the
militia drill a successful and pleasant affair"

Good Advice.

Other people may find the advice OF
Daniel Webster TO his grandson of value
for themselves. He wrote it about four
years before his death:
1.-Two or three things wish now to
impress on your mind. First, you can.
not learn without your own efforts. All
the teachers in the world can never
make scholar of you, if you do not
apply yourself with all your might
In the second place. be of good charac-
ter and good behavior-~a boy of strict
truth and honor and conscience in all
things. Have but one rule, and let that
be always to act right and fear nothing
but wrong doing. Finally: Remem-
Der your Creator in the days of your
youth You are old enough to know
that God has made you and given you
mind and faculties, and will surely
call you to account. Honor and obey
your parents, love your sister ana
brother, be gentle and kind to all, avcA
peevishness and fretfulness, be patiet
under restraint. Look forward con.
stantly to your approaching manhood
and put off every day, more and more
all that is frivolous and childish"

A Monument to LOngfellOw.

An Eastern paper says: "The friends
of Mr.. Longfellow are not slow in devils
ing an adequate and suitable memorial.
The poet had great fondness for the clear
sky and the clear blue waters
of the Charles River, and to
keep his view of the Charles I'M
broken purchased many years ago the
strip of land which gave him an unob-
structed range from behind the lilacs in
front of the Craigie House down to the
bank of the river on the Cambridge side.
1t pleased his poetical instinct and was a
notable feature of his home. 1t is now
proposed that this open field shall be
purchased at the expense of donors to a
Longfellow memorial fund, and convert
ed into garden property, in the center
of which statue of the poet shall be
placed as the local tribute of affection
for his name and of gratitude for his
work This will retain the association
of Mr.. Longfellow's presence with the
fine old historical mansion in which he
lived, and the plan is understood to meet
with the sympathy and approval of the
poets friends and family. 1t is pro-
posed to raise 800, 900 for this object,
and to give young and old who have
profited by Longfellow's poems, or to
have been drawn to him in any way, an
opportunity of sharing in the contrbu-
tons necessary to the execution of the
plan. The officers and committees are
not yet announced, but the movement
has been so generally approved by those
who knew Longfellow best, and touches
so tender n Sentiment in the Young life
of the country. that the arrangements
for subscriptions will soon be completed,
and those most interested in it are quite
sure of hearty response from all
Acknowledgements. The plan was
first suggested by Mr.. Arthur Gilman,
of Cambridge, few days after Mr..
Longfellow S death, and met with instant
recognition and approval.

The Gopher and Prairie Squirrel.

The fact is, the Sophers and ground
squirrels belong to different and widely
separated genera, and there is nothing
in common between them. The gopher
is an underground worker, like the mole,
and Is seldom seen abroad in the daylight.
''ltisl moreover a vegetarian, living for
the most part upon the roots which it
finds in its underground travels-though
it no doubt takes in such grubs. worms
other like ''small deer as may come in
its way. In unsettled prairie regions its
principal diet, no doubt, consists of the
! roots of the native grasses and weeds,
being especially fond of the tubers of
the wild artichoke. Where it burrows
in cultivated fields it makes sad havoc
with the tame grasses and clover, not
only by devouring the roots, but by
throwing up large heaps of dirt which
cover large spaces and smother out the
vegetation. Then they dig their pas
sageway so near the top of the ground
that horse or COW, and often a man,
will break through. The result of this
is that they are capable of doing great
damage to our meadows. They are also
very destructive in an orchard, as they
frequently devour all the roots of an
apple tree, and one never knows what
they are doing until the tree begins to
lean to one side, and is about ready to
fall. In the spring of 1880 we lost doz n
choice trees, just ready to come into
bearing, from the wicked work of these
