the piling of dirt upon the levee to

Complaint is being made in many
portions of the State at the delay
of Gov. Foster in commissioning
the parish officers elected in April,
while in a few instances commits
sions have been issued to appointed
officials. We trust and believe the
governor has been unavoidably de-
layed in this matter, and that all
officers elected will soon be in pos
session of their commissions.

River News.

Up to Friday morning June Sd,
we had lively hopes that the river
would not reach the high water
mark of 1850, as we predicted last
week it would. The news to hand
from above now assures us, how
ever, that the same stage as 1890
can be looked for with almost abb
solute certainty.
At Shreveport the river fell IA
inches during the first four days
of the week, but late heavy rains
there, and an 8 loot rise reported
at Arthur City, 400 miles above, is
sure to put it back to it's former
stage. While these conditions are
dangerous at Shreveport and to the
country above, they are not par
ticularly alarming to this section,
as the food crest will be relieved
with us before it reaches here, but
it intercepts the fall we had a right
to expect would begin at Colfax by
Saturday night.
AS it is, we may expect the wa
ter to reach its highest point here
Sunday night or Monday, and then
after a day or two stand fall to
begin. At 4 p. m. Friday evening
the water in front of Colfax stood
% inches below the high water
mark of 1890, and was rising at the
rate Of about 10 inches in "a hours.

A LESSON.

Dana, of the New York Tammany or
gan-the SUMS attacking the superin-
tentent of the Central Park, with much We
hemence, and thereby hangs a tale which
makes Mr.. Dana just at this time the laugh
ing stock of the metropolis. He is said to
be great lover Of birds and flowers and
dogs and horses, and almost everything in
the animal and vegetable kingdoms. But
he is especially 'tstuek" on orchids and
owls. He recently became deeply enam-
ored of the great horned owl in the Central
Park menagerie and had many long and
interesting conversations with Supt Conk-
lin as to the birds character and habits.
The more he learned aboutth the greathorned
owl the greater became his admiration. 1t
seemed as though he saw in the solemn vis-
age Of this bird something that reminded
him peculiarly Of his own wisdom-marked
physiognomY. However that may be, he
conceived a great longing to possess some
horned owls of his own. Therefore he ar
ranged with the superintendent to have
the bird watched carefully So as to collect
its eggs as fast as they were laid. For this
o0A WIG Ao etSESeu 10 pay gOOQ ROUND sum.
In due course Of time the superintendent
was able to present to Mr.. Dana a set of
horned owl eggs. The grave and erudite
editor Of the Sun was overjoyed and gladly
carried out his part of the contract BY pay
ing the sum agreed upon. and possibly a
bonus in addition. Mr. Dana took his
new-found treasure to his country seat.
placed the eggs in an incubator, and hired
man to watch night and day the process
of Incubation. When the eggs were finally
Matched news was telegraphed to theardent
ornitholigist, and he went as fast as the
steam cars could carry him to his country
place at Sea Cliff. With the greatest eager
ness he examined the newest and most val
ued addition to his collection. But his joy
turned into rage when he discovered that
the outcome Of the incubation were not
horned owls but geese!
There is a good lesson in this to some Of
the politicians Of the state Of Washington,
who are gathering owls eggs for a political
setting this fall.

my oAPrAIN MY CAPTAIN!

WALT wHITGAN's MOST POPULAR POEM.
o, Captain my Captain our fearful trip
is done:
The ship has weathered every rock. the
prize we sought is won:
The port is near, the bells hear the peo-
pie all exaulting.
While follow eyes the steady keel, the YES
sci grim and daring;
But, O heartl heart! hearti
0 the bleeding drops Of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies
Fallen cold and dead!
Q Captain! my oaptainl rise up and hear
Rise pp-for you the flag is flung, for you
the bugle trills;
For you the bouquets and ribboned wreaths,
for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the sWaying mass, their
eager faces turning:
Hear Captaini dear fatherl
This arm beneath your head
1t is some dream thatson the deck
You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer; his lips are
pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no
pulse nor will;
The ship is anchored safe and sound. its
voyage is closed and done;
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in
with object won
Exa1lt, o shores, and ring, o belll
But l, with mourning tread,
Walk the deck where my Captain lies
Fallen cold and dead.
