For Decoration Day.


Hark! to the beating muffled drums
At early dawn of day;
There are our martyred men and sons,
This thirtieth of May.
Gone in their early manhood.
Gone to war and strife,
Gone through blood and carnage,
At sacrifice of life.
Gone for our ensign floating high,
With staunchest love and true;
10 save our homes, they could but die,
Our bravest boys in blue.
Lay down your arms, old comrades,
Take up the bugle and fife;
Give them the keynote marching
They have gained higher lie.
Lay on their graves, when Ger the hill,
On our Memorial day,
The laurel wreath they've earned so well,
This thirtieth of May.
Think you the comrades gone before
Still finger by the way?
Yes, they wait their trophies of the war
For Decoration day.
They wait for honor, love-their due;
For flags and fOWerS-thelr pay;
For martial song by boys in blue,
Proud Decoration day.
Yes. with quickened step they come. they
Blue-coated, brighter far. [come;
On hat and cap shining plume,
On loyal breast star.
They meet to greet the kindred throng
With banner bright and gay;
Again they sing our national song,
The freedom of to-day.
Three cheers for the loyal hearts ana true,
For flag so proudly borne;
Still brilliant stars in azure blue,
Those blood-red stripes adorn.
Sweet liberty we still must love;
Our motto still shall be-
Our treasured flag, long may II wave
Ger loyal land and free ID. u. ..

of Juneau, now journeying in Europe
with his wife and daughter:

of the British coast, thought [ would
"drop'' you few lines, especially as [
have nothing else to do. We left New
York as per programme Saturday morn
ing at o'clock, and have SO far had re-
markably fine weather-no storms, the sea
smooth, though, OF course, always with
little swell-every day, except Thursday,
when it rained all day, bright and clear
En-. was little under the weather the
first day, but Fanny and kept up brave
ly, and all have spent most of the time
on deck. The "Fulda" is very fine

all of them are Germans, but all speak
more or less English, of course We
breakfast at 1880; lunch with beer, if
you choose) at 10; dinner flour courses
and dessert) at 1870; coffee Cor chocolate)
at 3; supper at 1880 Then in the even
ing the band gives short concert in the
saloon, and by about 10 we retire, tn sleep
very soundly. We make from 375 to 400
miles every "a hours, and expect to reach
Southampton Sunday at noon. Just now
we experience our first fog, and the whistle
is blowing, but it will probably be of short
duration. The feeding" is very fair.
The "high muck-a-mucks' in the first
cabin number $50, and we "plebeians''
about the same; We do not at all interfere
with each other, and from all | see
should prefer our cabin to the first; our
living is palmer and simpler, and our
company jollier and mere companionable.
We shall leave the boat at Southhamp-
ton and stay there till Monday evening,
when we sail for Hav.e, reaching there
at 7 A. NJ. and Paris at IL. From the
latter place will write you again. Yours
truly, w. Z. &.

LAKE CHARLES, ROBELLNE
AND SHREHEP0RT R.R.


Elsewhere in to-day's Issue will be
seen = cut showing perhaps the most
feasible rontc 10 build a railroad from
Lake Charles to Kansas City, by the
way of Shreveport. This route takes
very nearly the direct line which was
surveyed for the Kansas City, Watkins
and Gulf railroad. As it runs Borih
from Lake Charles it bears east by
way of Robeiinc, and takes 10 the val
ley Of Red river TO Shreveport. The
Robeiine and Red rirer valley route
will leads through a rleh cotton sec
Iion, and il is believed that a much
larger appropriation can be obtained
for buiIding a road on this line than
any other. Ii is believed that the
city of Shreveport will give more
largely toward the bailding Of road
on this line than any other, as By
1t the city vii. obtain al immense cot
ton trade in the Red river valley which
it does not nov receive besides this
there Is a probability of a much larger
donation BY the planters On this route,
If oar parish and the parishes north

HERE is what the president Of the
Alabama Agricultural College thinks
of the gulf States: The South has
the graDdest destiny the world ever
saw. No people have such a future.
Her soil, her climate, her products,
her mineral resources, her manufac-
turing facilities, present comblna-
ton of advantages such as are found
in no other land. The survival of
the misfortunes of the past is one Of
the grandest evidences Of the strength
of our civilization and betokens the
coming of q brighter day. Indeed,
that day has already dawned. Go
where you will over the South you
will see evidences Of improvement in
every department of industry. The
fact that northern capital is taking
possession of the railroads of the South
shows that the North has faith in tht
future of the South The northern
coast of the Gulf of Mexico is th,
natural center of trade for the west
ern hemisphere. Take it all in all
the smiling sun never looked upon 4
better country than we have here il

The Charleston Ne,0s and Courier
says the Southern people know the
negroes well, and understand their
faults. They know that they are as
children in the lack of restraint, and
as men IN the indulgence of passion
They know that they are not the
equals Of the whites aud never can be;
but they should know, and remember
also, that these people have, under
the law, the same rights and privileges
that the whites have, and that nothing
but the wrongs and the grievances
which will justify an armed revolution
will Justify the white people in max.
ing war upon the negroes by mobs and
committees, instead Of relying upon
the strong arm of the law.
