THE TRUE FRIEND.

lThe following poem was a great favo
ite with the lamented Garfield, and was o
ten quoted by him. Its authorship Is vi
known, but il will be treasured hereaft
like Lincoln's lavorite poem, "wby Shou
the Spirit Of Mortal be Proud ~
Commend me to the friend that comes
When | am sad and lone,
And makes the anguish Of my heart
The suffering of his ownj
Who coltly shuns the glittering throng
AT pleasures gay leves,
And comes to gild sombre hour
And give bis heart to me.
He hears me count my sorrows DER,
And when the task is done,
Hefreely gives me all ask
A sigh for every one.
He cannot wear a smiling face
When mine is touched with gloom,
But like the violet seeks to cheer
The midnight with perfume.
So
Commend me to that generous heart
Which, like the pine on high,
UPlifis the same unvarying brow
To every change Of sky;
Whose friendship does not fade away
When wintery tempests blow,
But like the winters icy crown,
Locks greener through the snow.
He flies not with the fitting stork
That seeks a southern sky,
But fingers where the wounded bird
Hath laid him down to die.
Oh, such a friend lie is in truth,
Whate'er his lot may be,
A rainbow on the storm Of lite,
An anchor on its sea.

M,COOK's PASS.

A man named Buz Rowe, we'll known
in the neighborhood of Bacon Creek. was
early afflicted with the secession fever,
and when the Confederates occupied that
portion Of Kentucky, the sickness astum-
ed a malignant form. 1t was his practi, Q
to lie around tavern at Bacon Station,
drink poor whisky, swagger, blow about
Southern rights, and insult Union mtn.
When. however, the Union troops ad-
vanced to Nevin, and the Confederat 8
fell back to Green river, Bug changed
his tune. He was not disposed to take
up arms in behalf the cause be repres n
ted. In fact, to secure peace and safety
at home, he expressed his willingness TO
'take the OATH"
On. being Iectured by Union men, he
stated that he was only "going through
the form, to prevent being troubled at
home, thatwhen he could do good for the
rebel cause he would not regard the obli-
cation in the least u 1t was sometime
before Buz could get Union man to go
to the camp with him. but finally, in
company with such, he called on General
McCook, and asked for the privilege of
taking the oath and obtaining a pass.
The General knew his man. and address
sing the Union man, who accompanied
him, said:
Administer the oath to him-a ready
traitor to bis countryl What regard do
you suppose he would have for the SOL
emn obligations of the oath2 A man, sir,
who would be:rny his country. has no
respect for his oath"
Buz turned pale. The truth cut him
deep, and he began to see that his time
had come.
The General absolutely refused to haye
the oath administered, or to grant Opass.
He could not get out of camp without
some sort of document, and he be-
sought the interference of those whom
be had so greatly cursed, pursued. and
abused, when they were without protec-
ton. At last General McCook agreed
to pass him out of camp, and gave him
a document which read something in
this way:
ITO the guards and pickets. The
bearer is traitor to his country Fass
him out; in doing so. mark him we'll.
and if you see him hereafter prowling
about our lines. shoot him at once"
This pass the brawlinR disunionist
had to show to the whole line of guards
and pickets, who all marked him we'll
before they let him pass, Though he
had previously been at Bacon Greek
every day he was not known to show
his bacon there again. One interview
with General McCook caused him to
subside. Doctor MeOook's medicint
was the only kiud that proved cure in
such cases.

hold of this very important move.
ment and enterprise to, Louisiana,
and we trust it will meet with a re-
sponsive echo frsm every true, and
tried son of the Pelican State. That
he is the right man in the right place
no one can deny, and we cannot re-
frain from congratula,ing the Expo
sition and it's managers, as we'll as
the people Of the entire State on the
excellent appointment made. He
means just what he says, and the
movement under his generalship is
sure to be a success:
Major E. A. Burke, in letter to the
board Of management of the Worlds In
dustrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition
accepting the position Of director general,
suggests the organization of auxiliary COM
mittees, in each Parish of Louisiana, who
will collect and prepare exhibits of agri-
cultural, mineral, timber and industrial
resources of their respective Parish, also
the organization of auxiliary State commit
tees in each and every State in the Uuion,
large enough in numbers to provide for
full representation from various sections
of each State, with view of securing con-
tributions and exhibits and Of promoting
interest in the exposition on the pact of
citizens, State Legislatures, Senators and
Congressman, also measures for securing
personal advice and cooperation of repre-
sentatives of foreign governments with a
view of promoting exhibits from foreign
countries and secure the attendance of
their citizens. In conclusion Burke says
the South has earnestly entered the indus
trial race in friendly competition with
her more fortunate sisters of the north.
The world is watching our progress and
will, l believe, set the seal Of its approba-
tion upon the earnest effort of our people
for tine regeneration of section rich in
agricultural, mineral and timber resour-
ces, and will gladly hail the day when the
South has taken its place in line with the
marvellous progress of the north and west.
The Congress the United States has not
only declared that it is desirable to en-
(, courage the celebration of the one-hun-
dredth anniversary of thu production,
manufacture and commerce of cotton, but
it has said that it desirable to encourage
the celebration of the one-hundred anui-
versary of perfect peace of the United
States. 1t now remains for us to prepare
for celebration in which tie whole world
can join and to show to all that southern
pluck and progress does not shrink from
the tack which has been set for US by
Coagress, and that We joyfally welcome
the invitation to make the chief eommss-
cial city Of the South the theatre for a
grand industrial reunion which shall re-
unite, in fact, the people of our whole
country.

THE aovERNORsH1P AGAIN.

As the time draws nearer and near.
er for the State Convention which is
to nominate candidate for the Dem
ocratic party of this State, the inter
est of the public greatly Increases
Already we hear the names of seve-
raj gentlemen from different portions
of our State, mentioned in connection
with the Governorship.
This, however, does not weaken
the cause in which we are engaged,
nor does it take from our candidate
anything that might lessen his pop.
ularity, nor weaken his chances for
carrying of the gubernatorial prize
which will be given by the Conven-
ton.
Everybody knows the choice of
Rapides, and we want everybody to
understand that his name is Jetries,
and that he is also our choice for
Governor.
Without disparasemeut to bio oP
pouents from other Parishes, we are
positive that his nomination as Gov
nor for the State Of Louisiana would
be received and heralded with more
general satisfaction and unanimity
than any of the several gentlemen
whose names nave been mentioned
in connection with this high office.
His many friends in this Parish
have such assurances from promi.
nent gentlemen throughout the State
that there is hardly room to doubt
that he is by far the most popular
candidate.
Mr.. Jeffries is not a politician in
the common acceptation of the term,
nor is he an Office seeker; his sue
cess in public lite is to be attributed
TO his high character, statesmanlike
views and consistent record. 1t was
with that sincere reluctance which is
the characteristic of the greatest pu-
rity and the aversion to being regar,
ded as a contestant for political pre-
fermeu., that be consented to permit
his friends to press his candidacy in
the present canvass.
Possessing fine presence and a
pleasing address, coupled with great
dignity and commanding talents, be
is eminently fitted to confer honor
upon Louisiana and credit to hel
people. In him ali classes can repose
the greatest confidence.
We then say to the people of this
State, and more particularly to the
Democratic party, give US Jsfries
for Governor, and the people in gen
eral will be pleased.
