ON TO CUBA.

Look out boysl ifthe bugles blow,
And call us TO arms, to Cuba we'll go;
And the Stars and Strip s shall float again
Where they last went down on the gallant
Maine.
The Spaniard yet in dread may feel
The vengeance of Columbia's steel,
And Cuba yet shall fly our flag.
And hurl to dust the tyrants rag.
So look out boys! ifthe bugles blow,
Like soldiers to the war we'll go;
Brayely well sail across the brine,
Our arms in Cuba's sun will shine,
And we'll dash upon them. as the spray
That sweeps across Havana Bay;
Or. rather like the ocean wave.
That rolls its crest above our brave,
Wen fall upon them stern and stout,
And put these Spaniards all to rout.
Columbia needs no bugle call,
Her sons are ready, one and all;
The tramping of her soldiers dead
Comes to her ears in steady tread
Those gallant men of Bunker Hill,
Who fought and bled-we hear them SUN
And freedoms CRY comes ringing down
The aisles of time from Boston town,
And thrice ten thousand catch the nole
From those heroic days remote;
And it shall swell on every gale,
IT'LL field and forest, mount and vale
Shall catch the note, and cen the Name.
Beneath the surge, shall hear the strain

Last Tuesday morning, while sitting
on the plushless chair of the editor,
who has been enjoying his honey
moon in New Orleans all the week,
the sound Of horses feet came 10 our
ears 10 quick succession; and looking
out, we just had time 10 see squad Of
gallant horsemen dash by with clatter-
ing noise up the lake. their steeds
squirting The ground with iron hoof,
and the riders bearing themselves with
as much dash aud daring as the i'm
mortal Light Brigade al the battle Of
Balaklava. The riders vent by SO fast
that we could not distinguish them
from the horses; but we afterwards
learned that the light brigade consist
ed of Mr. Curtis Benton, Brother Nor
ris, of Mississippi, Suzet w. Ma
euire aud the Right Honorable Thom-
as B. Davis, Of Oakland, East Car
roll parish, La, making four in all /;
icht including The horses. On they
dashed, on the wings Of the wind, their
tempered sleeds seeming 10 vie with
each other, as with foaming flank and
nostrils wide dislended, they sped
onward with unwcaried race around
the margin of The lake. MIR. Davis

him side ways 10 keep him from flying.
But where this "noble four hundred

might have thought that they only ill.,

body's hen roosl; but, as they hove in

HANDSOME CHARLEY.

Handsome Charley is no fool,
He knows just how to sell mule;
And more than that. he'll never lie
Oh no just see him wink that eye!
Whatever Charley says, it goes;
He'll take an old mule by the nose,
And. looking at bis teeth. will bet:
s'That mule Is not quite three years yet" ~
He'll take a poor old bony mare.
And curry down her shaggy hair;
Then feed her high with oats and hay,
And swear she's good for many day.
No flies on Charley He's all right!
He sells horse for the dollar bright;
And mules-ah there he takes the cake +!
For none can better bargains make.

Last Monday night drunken levee
contractor came very near killing Ciai-
borue Hill, quiet and peacable colorcd
citizen of our town. 1t seems that
Hill aud some of bis friends were to-
gether 10 his barber shop carly Mon
day night singing songs aud playing on
the guitar. Vaughn, the levee man,
staggered in aud wanted to know what
in the h-ll they were singing. Hill
made some reply, when Vaughn whip
ped cut pistol and attempted TO shoot
him: but before he could do go, Hill
grabbed The gun. In the scufile it as
discharged several times, one ball pass
ing through Vaughn's coat. The
drunken man then left the shop, but
fTturned later with another pistol with
the intention of killing Hill. lie then
nut srurs 10 his mule and rode out OF
town, firing his pistol several times
and creating considerable excitement
Marshal Peck Immediately went after
the man 10 arrest him, but in the
darkness he eluded his vigilance, and
he escaped.

Sitting OH the street corners and
abusing the men who are working for

taking money out of their own pockets

Several years ago a stalk OF long
staple was found IN a field of King cot

of these seed. and in the fall of 1886 /
WAS awarded the irst prive of $3.50 at

16 cents Il pound. Last spring after
the high water went down l planted
this cotton again, and on rich land it
made just as much as the most prolific

~
the most delightful parties of the VIM
ter season was given at the new coun-
try home OF Mr.. aud Mrs. w. S..
Brown, in honor of their daughter,
Miss Lou Ellen. The large aud COM
modious home, which has just recently
been completed, was thrown open to
the young people of East Carroll for
the first time, and the brilliantly light
ed rooms aud spacious hall seemed. by
their very a,tractivencss, to bid well
come to the guests, as they came,
couple by couple; until in a short time
the large double room and the polished
floor of the hall were covered with
gay and talkative assemblage, wearing
upon their faces expressions of happi-
ness, and looking as if care or business
were things unknown.
To describe the costumes of the
ladies or the handsome faces of the
gentlemen would consume these COL
umns; so we can only leave that 10 the
Imagination of the reader or the gossip
of the ladies. Suffice il 10 say, every
one looked his prettiesi, the writer
especially, each one was wittiesi, all
eyes were brighter, all hearts were
lighter than ever before; aud when the
doors was thrown open TO the back
gallery, the eye was fattered by the
prospect of large tables laden with the
choicest meats, salads and delicacles
that the most fastidious epicure could
wish. After doing the most unlimi-
ted justice to the edibles, the happy
gathering repaired again to the hall.
where a "cake walk" was the next
thing in order. OF all the funny walk
ing, you never heard tell of, as our
Ethiopian brother would say; but the
best exhibition of ridiculous pedestri-
apism was that Of Prof Moore, Of
Erin .the-Bend, who twisted his
shanks into such marvellous contortions,
that you would have thought him
Grccian hero Of old, showing his Prov
ess in the manly art at The celebrated
Olympian games, in those glorious days
gone by, when Hellas smiled in the
sunshine of civilization, and the fame
OF her sous was waited over the waters
of the Aegean to other chimes. The
Judges, wise aud thoughtful opponents
Of the genus homo, retired TO award
the cake to the champion walker.
They returned shortly aud announced
that Prof. Moore was "ne plus ultra"
aud he was accordingly awarded the
cake. lie responded in a few well
chosen remarks and was given rous-
ing ovation.
II was away down in The old age oil
the night before the young folks could
tear themselves away from scenes SO
gay; and Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, as well
as Miss Lou Ellen. were congratulated
heartily on the success OF their first
party, and each and all expressed the
hope that thu first would be followed
by others equally as pleasant and en-
joyable.
The Danner-Dcmocrat hopes that IL
their new home they may have large
share of Happiness and prosperity; thai
the sweet christian influence sheo
around by gentle mother many bios
som into fruition in the years TO come
when, one by one, each daughter shall
arrive at womanhood; and that at al
times the good wishes of friends may
attend them, as the bright path OF sill
yer follows the ship at hight in phos
phorescent sea.
