TIE SORROW OF THE SEA.

A DAY of fading lightup tho sea-
OF sea- birds wingng to their rocky caves;
And ever with its monotone 70 me.
The sorrow Of the waves.
Thsy leap ana lash among the rocks and SANDS
Whitelipp'd as with guilty secret tossd,
For ever feeling with their foamy hands
For something they have lost
Far out and swaying in a sweet unrest
A boat or two against the light ia seen,
Dipping their sides within the liquid breast
OF waters dark and green.
And further still where sea and sky have kiss
There falls as If from heavens own threshoid'
light ,,,.
Upon faint hills that, half enswathed In MIST
Wait for the coming night.
Rut still. though all this life and motion meet,
NV Thoughts are wingless and lie dead in me,
Or dmly stir to answer at my feet
The sorrow of the sea.

A rumor of the death of Hon. John A.
Gheevers, our District Judge has been cir
culated this week, hut all the foundation
for the report that We have been able to
find was the fact that two of his Donald
sonville friends had dreams about him the
same night, one dreaming that the Judge
was dead, the other that he was married.
1t Is not probable, however, that either ca
lamity has befallen him. We received a
postal card from Judge Cheevers few days
ago, announcing his safe arrival at Hot
Springs, and yesterday package of pa
pers from that place reached us, the wrap
per hearing his familiar handwriting.
Clearly, his Honor is very far from being
dead, and doubtless almost as far from
being married. To dream of death is said
to be sign of marriage, whereas to dream
Of marriage is interpreted as sign OF
death. In the instance cited one vision has
Offset the other leaving our District Judge in
stata, quo-and Hot Springs, neither corpse
nor Benedict. .,

SMALL Pox.-Donaldsonville is having
the same experience with small pox that
has marked the prevalence of the disease in
other localities where it has made its ap-
pearance this season. It has not spread to
any serious extent, but it hangs on with a
pertinacity worthy of good cause and it
seems impossible to get rid of it altogether.
We have two new cases to report this week:
Sarah Willis, colored woman, on Houmas,
between Conway and St. Michael streets,
and Marie jean, colored woman, between
Lessard and st. Patrick streets. The other
two cases are those of the colored man and
boy, reported last week, both of whom were
being cared for in the vacant house ON the
church grounds near the railroad. The
man, Thomas, died yesterday about 2 P. NJ.
The boy made his escape last Sunday and
took bath in the river opposite the Peyta-
win plantation before being recaptured, but
in spite of this exposure and imprudence,
he was apparently doing well when We heard
from him yesterday. l.-...
Since the foregoing was put in type. the
boy has died, and new case has appeared

of the 21st inst, two burglars entered the
house of Anthony Tasker, a well-to-do col
ored citizen of the third ward of this parish,
and after chloroforming the inmates, sue
ceeded in getting away with considerable
amount of clothing and jewelry. Next day
Constable McCray arrested colored man
named James Jones, who was wearing q
portion of the stolen clothing, and shortly
afterwards Deputy Sheriff Israel and Jailor
Means nabbed another colored man, George
Turner by name, who proved to have been
the ringleader in the well planned robbery,
All the stolen articles were recovered with
the exception of gold locket and chain,
and the burglars are in Jail. Turner, who
is evidently an adept in such business, is
said to be the man who stole gold watch
and $500 in cash from Senator z. E.,
Kidd of jackson parish, at Baton Rouge,
during the last session of the General As
sembly. The thief was arrested, but subse-
Quently released, as Senator Kidd failed to
prosecute. Our officers deserve to be COM
plimented for their prompt and successful
work in ferreting out and experimenting
these burglars; it is to be hoped the rascals
will be convicted and adequately punished,
as there seems to be no reasonable doubt
of their guilt.
