Songs Never Sung.

How does that verse run? Something like
this isn't it?
There are those who touch the magic string,s
And noisy fame is proud to win them;
Alas. for those who never sing,
But die with all their music in them.''
Yes, that's beautiful, pathetic and true"

people who somehow suppressed, and never

OGDEN AND MnENERY.

Gen. Frederick Nash Ogden of New Or
leans and Governor Samuel Douglas Nc
Emery of Cuachita are avowed candidates
for the gubernational chair, and the two
leading papers in the State, the New Orleans
Picay,slae and the New Orleans Times DEM
ocrat. have opened the campaign in that
city with double-leaded editorials, the Pc.
advocating the cause of Ogden, the I'D.
taking up the cudge1 in behalf of McEnery.
The average citizen desiring to choose the
eulogies of these rival papers to guido him,
would be at loss to make the selection be-
tween such paragons of ability and virtue,
such models of craftsmanship and patriotism.
Fortunately, the discriminating voter has
other lights to aid him in the formation of
his Judgment: the record of the past is be-
fore him, and by its lessons he may gauge
the future.
There are two significant circumstances
attending the appearance of Gen. Ogden III
the field One is that he delayed the an
nouncement of his candidacy until he had
consulted ex-Gov. Nichols and received
positive assurance that the latter gentleman
would not accept a nomination. but would
favor the selection of Gen. Ogden. The
other is that he sought out Mr.. Jno. FltZ-
patrick and obtained from that political
boss and lingmaster similar assurance OF
friendship and support. The favor of
A:nholls will be almost universally regarded
S'''0 aditable and advantageous to Ogden,
assistance of Fitzpatrick will be by

Kidney .herwise be glad to range them
sesre, under the banner of Gen. Ogden,
will hesitate TO do so lest his success result
in the perpetuation Of the hoodlum regime
that has proven such q disgrace to their city.
Gov. McEneroy will be per Sc the candi-
date of his own administration, and the pat
ronage and power Of that administration
will no doubt be used without stint to for
ward the political interests of its official
head. A hot and lively contest il in pros
pect and its progress will be watched with
deep interest throughout the State.

EDITOR CHIEF:
The following paragraph appeared III tho ID
erville Enterprise of July l, and rs printed is u
good joke on me. but l think my comments
will show the joke to be on one of ye Enterprise
young mon:
young man Of our acquaintance living in
town, hlrcd 4 horse from the livery stable one
night during the past week. and went up the
coast about two miles to call on {; young lady
friend. When he had hidden the lady good
evening and Went out t, mount the hor;, to re-
turn home, 10. there was no horse to mount
Whether the horse got tired Of waiting and
taken hls departure for the stable or had been
Stolen our TREND knew not but he had to foot
home himself. Tho horse was found next morn
ing loose on the plantation.
1t is true hired a horse from a livery sta
bic one night during the past week, and went
UP the coast to call 4 Young lady friend, and
when | had hidden her good evening and re-
turned to where left NY horse, l found he had
departed for parts at the time, unkrown: but
before leaving the place | was made aware of

to catch him that night, I got on 'shaDks,

next morning, | do not think the animal got
tired waiting, us the time was only between Q
and 10 D'clock-thls is not late for a summon

DIRECTOR GENERAL DURK t

Major L. A. Burke, the indefatigable
State Treasurer and managing editor of the
Times -Dcn,ocrat has been unanimously
elected Director General of the Centennial
Cotton Exposition to be held in New Or
leans next year, and there is much reason
for commencing the selection. Major
Burke IS well known as a gentleman Of
superb executive ability. AS an organizer,
planner and q worker he has no superior
in the State, and will undoubtedly display
these qualifications to great advantage in
the discharge of his important duties as
Director General of the approaching Ex-
position. His first act upon receiving
notice OF his election was one of character
istic generosity He announced that his
salary as Director General, amounting 10
$4,000 for the year and a half he is to serve,
would be Invested in shares of the Exposi-
TONS capital stock and these in turn would
be presented to the Louisiana State Univer-
sity and Agricultural ana Mechanical Col
lcge at Baton Rouge.
Inc New orleans ftcGgu?e mas vigorously
attacked the action OF the Board of Direc-
tors in electing Major Burke, on the ground
that it is turning the Exposition into q
political machine.' It is assumed that, be-
cause the Major has been an active politi-
elan, he will use The great influence and
patronage OF his new place to advance the
political aspirations Of himself and his
friends. This would certainly be gricvous
wrong anda shameful prostitution of power
should it be attempted, but we incline to
the belief that our esteemed contemporary
is needlessly ai,prehellsive on this point ana
that its assault is calculated to do more
harm to the Exposition than to the standing
and motives of the Director General.

ice gorge is formed opposite the jail, piled
in immense heaps. The fats between
here and Kingston are covered with
about nine feet Of water. The rain last
last night swelled the mountain streams,
and should the ice remain in the bed of

probability of greater portion of the

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through eyery part
of the body, an unless it IS pure

If disease has entered the system
the OnT sure and quick way to drive

These simple facts are well
