Only a Wee Sick Lad.

In pottery factory here there is work
man who had one small invalid child at
home. He wrought at his trade with exem-
plary fidelity, being always in the shop with
the opening of the day. He managed, how
ever, to bear each evening to the bedside of
his "wee lad" as he called him, flower, a bit
of ribbon, or q fragment of crimson glass, in
deed anything that would lie out on the
white counterpart and give color TO the
room. He was quiet, unsentimental man,
but never went home at night without some
thing that would make the wan face light
up with joy at his return. He never said to
living soul that he loved that boy so much
Still he went on patiently loving him. And
byand-by he moved that whole shop into
positively real but unconscious fellowship
with him. The workmen made curious little
jars and cups upon their wheels, and painted
dminutive pictures down their sides before
they stuck them in the corners of the kiln at
burning time. One brought some fruit in
the bulge OF his apron, and another engray-
ings in rude scrap book. Not one of them
whispered word, for this solemn thing was
not to be talked about They put them in
the old mans hat, where he found them, so
he understood all about it; and believe it or
not, cynics, as you will, but it is fact, that
the whole pottery full ofmen, ofrather coarse
fibre by nature, grew quiet as the months
drifted, becoming gentle and kind. and some
dropped swearing as the weary look on the
patient fellow-worker's face told them be-
yond mistake that the inevitable shadow was
drawing nearer. Every day now some one
did piece of work for him, and put it on the
sanded plank 10 dry, so that he could come
later and go earlier So, when the bell tolled,
and the little coffin came out of the lowly
door right around the corner, out Of sight,
there stood 100 stalwart workingmen from
the pottery, with their clean clothes on, most
of whom gave half-day's time for the privil
eye of taking part in the simple procession,
and following to Its grave that small burden
of a child which probably not one had even
seen.

Though we may not change the cottage
For mansion tall and grand,

Though we have no silken hangings
For the walls so cold and bare

For flowers bloom everywhere.

And their truest blessing win

When we gather round the fireside
When the evening hours are long,
We can blend our hearts and voices
In happy, social song;
We can guide some erring brother,

The following, from the West Car
roll Waterman, Is inst and merlto-
rious tribute TO our present able and
wise executive, and we commend its
perusai to all lovers of justice and
fairness:
UheL McEnerv became the Governor
Of Louisiana, he found her condition
but little less than chaos. Years of
Radical misrule, corruption and piun-
der had stihed her in every joint. Gov.
Nichols could not, and did not under
her Old. rotten and infamous constitu-
ton, improve her condition to any
mark d extent. Wilt, under the pres
ent constitution, died before he was
fairly tested. 1t devolved upon McEn-
cry to make Louisiana what she is to-
day. Tie credit of the state has been
built mp; internal improvements are
going on; magnificent levees are being
constructed; orr splendid State House
at Baton Rouge is nearing completion {;
thousands Of our laboring classes are
being constantly employed in works Of
public improvement. Industry thrives
and labor is rewarded.

part taken by the adherents of Gen.
Ogden in this instance was disgrace
full in the extreme. Ii was simply in

The Timcs-DenlOc Ever
EIades Expedition.

When the Times-Dcmocrat EXpIor-
inc Expedition started into the Flor
ida Everglades, We scarcely hoped to
rive our readers any account of lis
movements uAti it hal penetrated
and lravcrsed that mysterious region.
An unexpected chance, however, en-
ahIcs Us to give some account Of its
preliminary explorations After the de-
parture of the party from Lake Fllrt
Judge Marshall, formerly OF Catahou,a
parish, in this stale, and a I1emher Of
the constitutional convention, accom-.
panied it some distance, and brings
back an account Of the first movements,
Of the expedition, the discovery OF MI
mcroUs rivers cmptynG nio Lake
Okcechobcc and the great difficulties
encountered in penetrating the saw
grass tina; fringes this Florida swamp.
Judgr Marshall Icf; the party Oh
Nov. -, wheu j, had advanced some
distance in the Everglades. a few
days after his departure he noticed
that the whole OF this immense region
for miles and miles around was IN
flames. As the saw-grass here Is ten
feet h!gh, and burns when Dry and
brittle like tlnder, one can imagine how
awful must have been tins Pralre con
fagratiOn
What effect will tins fire have upon
the movements of the expedition?
Judge Marshal, who saw the fire, fears
that the parry may have penetrated far
into the saw-grass and been surrounded
10y the flames and destroyed. If the
fire was the result Of accident, or if
the Indians who still live in the midst
of the Everglades started it to prevent
thus party of white men from invading
and investigating their domains, he
believes that escape was cut off, and
that al persisted.
But we cannot accept this hypothe-
sis. The gentlemen who accompanied
the expedition were all good woods
men who have been in Florida swamps
before, and know exactly how TO deal
with them. They know the dangers
of the canebrake and swamps, and they
undoubtedly took the proper precau-
tions against being surrounded by fire.
Judge Marshall suggests the posi-
bilitv that this fire may have been pur-
poselv started BY the tbs expedi-
ton for the purpose of clearing off
this brush-wood and saw-grass, and
giving them an opportunity of pen
ctrating more easily into the interior,
the terra incognita. They had found
their onward movement very slow and
tedions. There was NO substance any
where to rest on, neither earth to walk
on or water in which 10 use the boats
nothing but soft, yielding mud and
immense saw-grass, and the party went
forward at the rate of only quarter
of mile day.
1t is probable, therefore, that the

SENATOR MAHoHE is credited with
having said that the recent defeat of
his party in Virginia is largely due to
protested friends, one of whom Presi-
dent Arthur is which. In referring to
the matter the Senator says: While
the papers were charging from day to
day that | was only tool of the ad-
ADMINISTRATION, | received no recogni-
zion from President Arthur. So far
as his actions were concerned, be did
not seem to know that the fercest
fight ever waged or that ever will be
waged against BourbOnism was in pro-
gress in Virginia, and that probably
the future of the Republican party
depended upon the result. We got
worse than no aid from the admins
