IN MEMORY OF MRS. W. E. LONG.

A blighted home and a vacant chair
What is the pang? Is this mother there?
Alas ! her face is shrouded now,
And the chill OF death rests on her brow
Yet lives she still in the hearts that mourn,
While her spirit scars to the far-of bourne,
Away. away from world like this,
Where the day is one ofeternal bliss
Disease did many a sorrow bring,
But death was robbed of all its stIng;
And her soft bosom, wrung with pain,
Is soothed by the alleluian strain
That swells upon distant shore,
Where the pilgrim rests forevermore.
Where a voice comes DER the troubled sea
Of this fitful life, saying "come to me !"
Then cease thy sorrow, father. cease
Does she not sleep the sleep of peace?
Come dry thy tear and look away
Where her face is bright as the light of day.
Come go with me where the cedars wave,
And place fresh flowers on her grave
A garland fair-that shall fetter thee
To the resting place of thy loved Marie F!
SAMUEL B. KENNEDY.

Banner Democrat The war goes
bravely on. All the world is familiar
with Dewey! Smiths Mill, 10 miles
southeast of Lecoinpte has been re-
| christened dewey Springsm (See al.
in Town Talkr')
| There is some doubt as to the w here
/ abouts of Cervera's fleet, but il seems
pretty well established that three re-
cruits, (including musician), were
drowned in bayou St. John, New Or
leans!
In such crises every strategist
should do his duty! Therefore the
following is submitted TO The Board
of Strategy at Washington. DC:
l. An auxiliary fleet be. launched
at once in Lake Providence, at or near
tireman's Hall.
2. Said fleet lie composed of COM
modious flats, Of beam and draught
suitable to the waters. TO be nayigated.
3. There shall be added to above
fleet sufficient number OF dug-outs
or pirogues to act rs scanty cruisers.
4. This combined fleet shall as soon
practicable sail with sealed orders
from Mayor Hamley, (a) through
basin near ex- sheriff Bass residence,
(b) down Tensas bayou, (e) through
Swan lake and the rapids of Mussel
Schoals to the mouth of bayou Macon,
(d) where the fleet will drop one dug
out with crew of two aud proper muni-
tons to bottle up any Spanish feet
that may be hiding in the Macon.
This beng retired position we
pause to make few random sugges-
lions.
/. Material for sailors can be re-
cruited in the irst and second ward
where they have had experience with
high water
III. A worthy commander may be
found in that gallant tar-Commodore
| c., who. in an effort TO rescue the coal
from a sunken barge, got only half
seas over and heaved the oats ashore.
Ill. For boarders, see the Hon. C. Z.
Egelly, who may be able to advise of
well seasoned material which he would
willingly see go to the front or to-tLe
bottom!
". There is the old salt T. who cut
the little niggers out of cabin roof on
Holly Brook during the Bass crcvasse.
V. There will be no dearth of
(horse) marines. for the woods are full
of militia able to take Ito they water
vi Ask Tom McCandless what he
knows about getting Lilly Hamilton"
through an overflow; the information
may be useful to the horse marines.
VII. Make Geo. Guier commander of
