QUE QUEEN:

one wears royal, golden crown.
Our little. laughing, shy faced queen;
The clust' ring curls o .er eyes of brown
Are bright as summer starllghts sheen.
She sways a scepter DER US all.
And we obey each proud command;
For we are held in slavery's thrall
By that imperial, dimpled hand.
Her robes of state are pure as snow,
In every heart she finds i throne.
In all the land she has no foe;
The name of rebel is unknown.
Her loyal subjects. low and high,
Full many costly tribute bring:
The glories of her kingdom. ],
Her humble poet-laureate, sing.
Around my neck her soft arms twfne,
My song is smothered in her curls;
Her sweet, fresh lips are pressed to mine.
Oh, Baby-little queen Of girls!
Golden Days.

THE GUEST.

0 thou Guest, SO long delayed,
Surely, when the house was made,
In its chambers, wide and free,
There was set place for thee.
Surely in some room was spread
For thy sake snowy bed,
Decked with linen white and fine,
Meet, o Guest, for use of thine.
Yet thou hast not kept the tryst.
Other guests our lips have kissed;
Other guests have tarried long,
Moved by sunshine and by song;
For the year was bright with May,
All the birds kept holiday,
ALI the skies were clear and blue,
When this house of ours was new.
Youth came in with us to dwell,
Crowned with rose and asphodel,
fingered long, and even yet
Can not quite his haunts forget.
Love hath sat beside our board,
Brought us treasures from his hoard,
Brimmed our cups with fragrant wine.
Vintage of the hills divine.
Down our garden-path has strayed
Young Romance, in light arrayed;
joy hath flung her garlands wide;
Faith sung low at eventide;
Care hath fitted in and out:
Sorrow strewn her weeds about;
Hope held up her torch on high
When clouds darkened all the sky.
Pain, with pallid lips and thin,
Oft hath slept our house within;
Life hath called us, loud and long,
With voice as trumpet strong.
Sometimes we have thought, o Guest.
Thou vert coming with the rest,
Watched to see thy shadow fall
On the inner chamber wall.
For we know that, soon or late,
Thou wit enter at the gate,
Cross the threshold, pass the door,
Glide at will from floor to floor.
When thou contest, by this sign
We shall know thee, Guest divine:
Though alone thy coming be.
Some one must go forth with thee.

Wonderful Workmanship.

A Texas military company were out
on the range recently practicing trifle-
shooting The Lieutenant in command
suddenly became exasperated at the
poor shooting, and Selling a gun from
one of the priyates, angrily exclaimed:
'.I'll show you fellows how to shoot!"
Taking long aim, and a strong aim,
and an aim altogether, he fired, and
missed. Coolly turning to the private
who owned the gun, he said:
That's the way you shoot
He again loaded the weapon and
missed. Turning to the second man in
the ranks, he remarked:
That's the way you shoot. =
In this manner he contrived to miss
about fifty or sixty times, illustrating
to each soldier his personal incapacity,
and finally he accidentally hit the tar
get.
...And that he calculated, handing
the gun back to the private, sis the way
I shoot. ''-1e1as Ssttings.

There are few industries which are
surer for quick returns and ample
profits than that of raising hogs
Ham, bacon, and lard always COM
mand good prices and ready sale
for cash and the cost of raising hogs
is less than that of almost any other
kind of stock. This being the case
it would not be bad idea for those
engaging in the business to make
every effort to improve the breed OF
their hogs and as fast as possible get
rid of the long-nosed beasts. It does
not cost any more to raise good
breed Of hogs than an inferior one,
and there is vast difference in favor
of the good breed

Monroe Bulletin: "We would pre-

that it would be impossible to be

may have to content ourselves with
such patching as legislative ingenuity
may undertake"

The Raleigh News says the United
States and England it seems are the
only countries in which the unanimity
of jury is requisite TO a verdict. In
France and Germany the agreement
of eight jurors is sufficient, and if the
decision is seven to five the side pre-
walls which receives the endorsement
of the judge or judges on the bench.
A similar rule is in use in Italy, and
in Scotland, where murderers are
tried by an assize, or jury Of fifteen, a
majority verdict convicts or acquits.
The abandonment of therequirement
of unanimity would free the jury sys-
tenn of the United States of many
evils.

Ibefyille South: The employment
of convict labor on plantations should
be prohibited by law. Put the con-
victs on public works, or let them be
worked within the four walls of the
penitentiary, but do not degrade La
Dor by employing convicts alongside
of honest people who depend upon
their daily labor for their daily bread.
Morgan City Review: Convicts be-
long, properly, inside of the peniten-
tiary, and it behooves the next legis-
ture to make law prohibiting their
employment outside of the walls OF
the prison. If there is not room and
machinery enough to keep oil con-
victs at work inside the prison wall,
let additions be made thereto. It is
an outrage upon honest labor to bring
convicts in competition.

On this page We publish an inter-
esting article from the New York
Herald headed 1.-THE Ohio Demo-
Gratis" The Ohio Democrats paved
the way to victory in October by nom
mating Judge Hoadly, of Cincinnati,
for Governor. Judge Hoadly is one
Of the ablest lawyers in the West, and
no man stands higher in the estima-
ton Of the people of his State. He
was o Democrat before the war, but
voted with the Republican party from
the beginning Of that conflict till
1872. His nomination means a Wig
orous, thorough and hopeful canvass.
We may look for severely contest
ed battle in Ohio this year. The Re
publican party in that State is fight
ing for existence and they will exert
every possible effort to prevent a de-
feat which would place Ohio in the
kst Of Democratic States. Although
when united and supplied with plenty
OF money they usually carry the
State by $1,000 to 25.0O0 they now
regard the issue as doubtful and will
therefore make extraordinary exer-
tions 10 svsrt the disaster they fear.
Bat m Judge Hoady the Democrats
have astandard- bearer who will prove
more than o match for the antagonist
pitted against him.

Claiborne Guardian: Before we
are seriously asked to favor a new
constitution the one we have should
be enforced. The constitution pro-
vides that the salary of the Governor
shall be four thousand dollars per
annum. But the legislature appro-
priated about eleven thousand dollars
to the Governor to pay such expenses
as house rent, travelling expenses,
postage, private secretary, &C., and
the Governor goes on drawing the
money. What's the use to have a
constitution at all if it can be thus
trampled upon. The present Cover
nor can find no way to enforce the
law. The people will find the remedy
by electing a Governor who can"

According to the Agricultural De-
partrnent at Washington the average
price of corn in the entire United
States for eleven years, from 1871 to
1881 inclusive, was about 40 cents

lowest was 81 cents in 1878. The
aggregate value has increased in ten
years from $435, 900, 600 to 755, OOO,-

On the gubernatorial question the
Assumption Pioneer says:
'Underpresent circumstances, hon.
esty should command more votes than
talent, unless backed by clear record
and the entire absence of any con.
nection with so-called rings of the
past. The chief duties which the Gov
ernor is called on to perform are to
see that the laws are faithfully exc
cuted, and to place honest men in
Office. These duties being conscien-
tiously performed, though he may
fail in minor points, yet viii satisfy
his constituents.

The people know that the Star

The people know that the Star
route thieves stole their money. They
know that Dorsey, Brady b Co. spent
much Of their ill-gotten cash to cor
rupt the ballot box and elect Garfield.
They also know that the government
has extravagantly spent their money
n prosecuting these same thieves and
Tor the sole purpose Of giving the
Republican administration q reputa-
lion for honesty.
Each Republican administration
since Grant first term has made what
little reputation it had by exposing
the stealings and frauds of its prede-
cessora. Grant began his second
term with the declaration, 'Let no
guilty man escape" He soon found
out that that meant the penitentiary
for Bs5cock and others OF his very
household. He then used all his
power to effect the release of the
whisky thieves and was successful.
Hayes made what little reputation
(D ne had by exposing other abuses
thst had grown up under Grants fos-
tering care. Garfield and Arthur
could find no more fruitful field than
the Star route thievery that grew up
under Hayes eyes, and they have
succeeded in exposing their friends
who stole the money that secured
their election.
Now comes Dorsey and virtually
proves that Garfield and Arthur both
winked ct the fraud and gave him
and his eo-conspirators encourage
ment 30 long 40 they and their party
were reaping the benefit. From the
latest Developments the greatest and
only permanent consolation for the

that ''when rouges fall ont honest

Candidates for Office,

As the time is drawing near for Coun-
ell to elect Coal Oil Inspector and a
Clerk of the Market for the ensuing
year, cand dates lol the positions are
commencing to frequent the meetings
of Council, and buttOnhole the mem
bers to press their claims. William
Hickey, the present Clerk Of the Mar
ket, will be a candida for reelection,
and is strongly urged by many doing
business in the markets. He has proven
an efficient officer, but has by his strict
construction of the law made some enc
mics, who will no doubt oppose him.
Cornelius Fipps, who once held the po-
sition, and Alfred Ainscow are also
said to be working for the place. EX.
Coroner Weldin's name has been men-
toned, and it is said that he is urged
by his friends to become candidate.
So far as could be ascertained, A. ID.
Vandever is the only candidate for
Coal Oil Inspector, and there is not the
slightest doubt that in the event of his
election he would make a faithful and
efficient officer, as his long experience
with Illuminating oils eminently fits
him for the position.
