Songs Never Sung.
g How does that verse run? Something like
this isn't it?

How Goes that verse run! Something like
this isn't it?
There arc those who touch tho magic string,s
And noisy fame is proud to win them;
Alasi for those who never sing,
But die with nll their music in them.''
Yes, that's beautiful, pathetic and true
said your representative. q The poot alludes to
people who are somehow suppressed. and never
get their full allowance of JOY and air. Which
reminds me of q letter shown mo the other day
by HIsCox e. 90, of New York, signed by Mr..
prominent business man of that place. He
writes:
So have suffered with asthma for over forty
years, and had n terrible attack in December
and January, 1882. hardly know What prompted
me to take PARKER's Tonic. / did so, and the
first day took four doses. The effect astonished
me- That night slept if nothing was the
matter with me, and have ever since. have
had colds since, but no asthma. My breathing
is now as perfect as if had never known that
disease. If you know of any ono who has astll-
ma tell him in my name that PAHKER's TONIC
will cure it-even after forty years. :" There
was a man WHO escaped the fate OF those whom
the poet lanents.
This preparation, which has heretofore been
known rs PARKER's GINGER Tonic, viii here
after be advertised and sold under the name of
PARKER's TONIC. 1nasInuch as ginger IS really
m unlmportant ingredient, and unpFincipled
dealers are constantly deserving their customers
by substituting inferior preparations nnder the
name of ginger, we drop the misleading word.
There is no change, however,, in the prepara-
ton itself, and all bottles remaining in the
hands of dealers. wrapped under the name of
PARKER's GINGER TONIC contain the genuine
medicine if the facsimile signature of HIsCOX

FROM RAD m WORST. j.

| The lanentable controversy among the
| Catholics of this parish relative to the adj
| ministration and control of the church
| property III and adjacent to Donaldsonville,
| has progressed from bad to worse, and is
now in position more than ever humilla-
| ting to all right thinking members of the
! congregation.
A lull in the dispute had prevailed for
several weeks, the curate remained in pos
session of the rectory while the wardens
held the church and the remainder of the
property, and it seemed as if this condition
Of affairs would continue until a settlement
| of pending differences should be reached,
either by amicable compromise or through
legal channels.
Father Coupons elected, however, to re-
| open the suspended newspaper discussion
of the things and matters in dispute, and
published q series Of communicated articles
in the CHIEF that gave great offense to the
wardens and their supporters, eliciting q
bitter retort from the wardens in last week s
issue of the Ascension Democrat, and equal
ly bitter commentaries from several cor
respondents of the same paper.
The curate's article Of last week seems to
have intensified the excitement and indig-
nation of his opponents and on Sunday q
party of forty or fifty men proceeded to the
rectory and demanded of Father Coupons
that he leave the church property within
twenty minutes. The priest asked time to
consult the Bishop before responding to the
demand to vacate. His visitors retired to
tho shed of ST. Joseph's Academy for con-
sultation and returned in five minutes,
when the curate was taken by the arms and
escorted beyond tho limits Of the church
enclosure. Since then the property has
been all in the possession of the wardens,
and kept under constant guard and suryel-
lance. Father Ceuppens has gone to New
Orleans, but is expected to return in a few
days, though we understand he has been
advised not to do SO. The opinion is openly
expressed in several quarters that if he
comes back he will be expelled from the
parish by violent means,
Truly, this is a most unfortunate and un-
healthy state of affairs and some method
for its correction and cure ought to be dis
covered, not only III the interest of Catholic
peace and unity, but for the good name of
the entire community, which must suffer
from such proceedings, irrespective Of the
relative merits of the controversy.
It has been suggested that general
meeting OF Catholics be called to take into
consideration the anomalous condition Of
their church matters and property interests
and to prepare an address to the Archbishop
on the subject. If properly conducted q
movement Of this character might be pro-
ductive of good results. A meeting has
been called for tomorrow noon, at st. Jo-
seph's Academy, and it is probable some
action Of the nature indicated will be taken
at this gathering.

An important periodical epoch in the life
of the rural editor has transpired at the
CHIEF establishment this week: the first
complimentary watermelon of the season
has made its appearance and been duly
absorbed into the gratifed systems of our
disciples of Gutenberg. The melon was
produced by our ever kind and thoughtful
friend Mr.. Sam Leblanc, and was an excel
lent specimen of a goodly quantity grown
on his farm near Willow Grove, across the
river. We were pleased to receive such an
evidence of friend Sans skill and success
as an agriculturist.

Andrew West, a colored resident of the
Almon prairie neighborhood, was bitten on
the leg by u mad dog belonging to his
father, on the 9Th inst. The wound was
promptly cauterized with turpentine and a
hot iron, and in addition to this precaution,
West ate large quantity Of raw onions,
swallowed piece of paper with some 1nys-

preventives recommended by his neighbors.
At last accounts he was doing finely and

dog was killed, rs also were several ducks,

DEATH OF 4. Rocu.-We were deeply
panied to learn, few days ago, of the death
Of Mr.. Roch, recently a resident of this
town, who died of small pox in New Orleans
on Saturday last. Mr.. Roch kept store in
Donaldsonville three or four years, first at
tho corner of Railroad Avenue and Clai-
borne street, later at the corner Of Chcti
maches and httakapas streets, near the
Court House, from which latter place he
removed to the city about six months ago.
He was an exemplary citizen, Il devoted
husband and father and faithful friend.
wife and eight little children, the young
est only twenty days old, are left to
lament his loas and to meet the trials of life
without the assistance of his guiding and
protecting hand. All of our readers who
knew the deceased will unite with Us in an
expression Of regret for his untimely death
and of sympathy for the widow and orphans
he has left behind him. He was a member
of Donaldsonville Lodge No. 2G39, Knights
of Honor, and, we believe, of one of the
other secret orlers-perchance the Masons
Or Odd Fellows.

by Mrs. Jos. Wildersen, was a most bril-

party of ladies and gentlemen from town
were in attendance, as well as many others
from tho bayou, and all enjoyed themselves
immensely. Much praise is due to Mr.
Wildersen and his accomplished wife for the
hearty reception given their guests and the
graceful manner in which they were enter
tanned and amused. The Italian string

Child Labor.

TRENTON, N. j., July 17.-Child La.
Dor Inspector Fell inspected the p0tte-
ries and brickyards of this city to-day,
after which he left for Hudson county.
He found children employed in q few
of the potteries and brickyards, but in
others there were noae,' the employers
having dispensed with the services OF
the children about the 1st of July.
He found a general disposition among
manufacturers to comply with the law,
especially where the owner of work
shop or factory exercised personal sll :
perviSion over it. He found the chill
dren. however, indisposed to quit work.
They thought it great hardship. In q
match factory which he visited he found
little girl Of twelve years at work.
Her employer informed him that he
had discharged the child Oh July !. At
forwards he saw her begging on he street
and told her she could come back again
and work for him until the inspector
came round.
In the brick. yards he fonnd boys
under twelve carrying clay to the
presses. In the pOt,eries there were
boys also under twelve knaading the
clay. The law prohibits the emp oy-
ment of boys under twelve and girls
under fourteen.
