When the front Begin to Rise.


Now the piscatorial artist revels in &C.
static dreams
or the coming days Of glory up along
the mountain streams.
Often waking in excitement as q beauty
of trout
From the visionary water he's expertly
pulling out.
Soon he'll hear the bright reel singing.
see the line that cuts with ease
Through the bosom of the water, as a
razor cuts a cheese,
And he'll peer through tangled bushes
with prayer in his eyes
Looking for the speckled Jewels when
the trout begin to rise.
All the modern Isaac Waltons of the city
will be there
Revealing in mountain beauties, drinking
in the mountain air:
Many of them also drinking in the fluid
that they take
AS precautionary measure for the venom
Of the snake.
With enthusiastic ardor they will whip
the crystal creeks,
w lille the sun with unseen fingers dabs
the tan upon their cheeks.
And upon the sparkling waters they will
dance the tempting flies
Up in yonder scenic heaven when the
trout begin to rise.
Every polka dotted creature captured in
the dashing tide
Will expand it's captors bosom with the
swell Of honest pride:
Bring into his eyes a sparkle brighter
than the jeweled spray
When a boulder splits the bosom of the
waters in their play.
I'll the earth will be forgotten, not a care
he left behind
Will intrude it's hateful presence on his
port-enraptured mind,
And his eyes will be expanded quite be-
yond their normal size,
When he books speckled treasure when
the trout begin to rise.
Then, as the sequel Of the story, comes
the 10y of the return
When the truth in his recitals he'll so
dexterously spurn
.As he dishes up his fables, talks his lis
teners all blind
OF the monster fish he captured in his
visionary mind.
Eut his conscience will not sting him, for
he knows the gracious Lord
When fisherman is talking never listens
10 word.
And the clerks of heavens records SIM
ply wink their other eyes
And neglect to make the entries when
the trout begin to rise.

JOAQUIN MILLER.

Apropos of Joaquin Miller, it
may be interesting to those of our
readers, WHO DO not keep close
count of literary characters, to have
this bit of his biography, as gwen
by the Century Cyclopedia of
Names: "Joaquin Miller, (origi-
nally Cincinnatus Heine Miller
Born i'll Wabash district, Indiana,
Nov. 10, 1871. An American poet,
lie removed to Oregon in 1854,
was afterwards a miner in Califor
mia, studied law, edited the 'Dem.
ocTatic Register i'll Eugene, Ore
gon, and was judge of Grant Co..
Oregon 1860. He was led to
adopt his pseudonym from having
written in defense of Joaquin Mu
rietta, u Mexican brigand. lie was
a Journalist at Washington, D. c.,
and in 1887 lie returned TO Califor.
MIA. He is the author OF Songs of
the Sierras,' Songs of the Seven
Lands 'The Ships III the DESERT
'The First Families of the Sierras.'
Shadows of Shasta &C."
From the above it will he seen
that he has been Jack of MANY
trades, though bis undoubted ge-
MUS makes him good at anything
he undertakes. His genius is, how
ever, SO erratic that this prevents
him making his successes lasting.
From time to time, the newspapers
are full of accounts of his eccen>
trlcities of dress and habits. His
log cabin in Washington city, his
hermit residence in the Sierras. his
long hair, DC, &C., have made him
a picturesque figure and delight
to the reporters. His more recent
travels in the Yukon and China
have shown him to be a virile and
fearless reporter, aud no doubt as
a lecturer, he will be equally strong.
AT any rate he is well worth going
to see, land hear,) SO that one may
say Il have seen Joaquin Miller.n

Robbing the Lala,

Col. J, B. Killebrcw in Southern Farm
Magazine of Baltimore for April
Heretofore IN the history of agri-
culture in the South there have
been two or three practices which
prevailed almost universally, and
which have led to tie impoverish,
ment of The soil and to the reduc-
ton of the profits in agricultural
pursuits. One of these is the clear
inc of new land and the abandon
donment of old. The evils result
ing from this pelnicious practice
are manifold. In the first place,
it is not the agriculture of civillza~
ton. 1t belongs to savage state
of society. To exhaust the means
whereby business is sustained Or
destroy the capital employed III ii
by improper management shows
either a disregard of all business
principles or all inability to com;
prehend them. The fertility of the
soil is the largest capital which a
farmer has employed, and upon
which depend tie profits Of his
other capital. The stock on his
farm, the utensils which he buys,
the houses which he builds, the
labor which he employs all count for
nothing unless the soil which he
cultiyates will produce a crop. Ey-
cry acre of land worn ont by i'm
prOvident cultivation ie SO much
capital destroyed, and renders liz
operative and unproductive to that
extent other capital invested in
farming upon such lands. Such a
practice robs posterity of its rights,
entailing restitution aud want upon
future generations.

beginning tomorrow tie night train
Oh this road will discontinue its runs to
Woodvllle, and will step at this place
instead. 1t il claimed by the railroad
people that it does not pay to run the
train on to WooAYille. The citizens OF
that town are getting mp petition to
have The service continued.
Meanwhile the loss is a serious one to
the people of Wootlvile and of the upper
part of this parish. No wonder the la
mentations AFRO long and loud.
Not being in possession of facts and
figures, The True Democrat is not in a
position to sustain or cOntravert the con-
tention that the service to Woodvillc does
not justify the additional expense, hut
we can point out two things quite clear
ly. These are they: The town Auilt
near or Oh d river has q most decided adj
vantage in claiming and securing rail-
road facilities. Freight rates to Wood
vile OF Wilson as compared with those
to Bayou Sara amply sustain this. The
present los to Woodyille of passenger
service is another proof, and it is one
that will continue to be felt SO long as
the county scat of Woodville has outlet
by rail i'll one direction only. If there
was aroad through to Natchez the claim
of its "nOt paying" would be rmtenabie,
and the people along the route wotld be
reasonably sure of having good facilities
for travel. Connected with two river
towns, Natchez and Bayou Sara, would
he next best to Woodvlllc's being III it
self river town.
Tho present loss is an object lessen
Woolville should see how necessary it is
to push the project of frightening the
rad, if it would be independent in flu
ture, TO secure the road is to solve the
problem.
Onr interest in urging the matter is
the advantages accruing to West Felici-
ana also, should the road to Natchez
materialize.

Sons Of Veterans.

The effort made to maintain a
Sons of Veterans Camp here does
not awaken great deal Of enthu-
siam, though it should, as the fol
lowing extract from Commander
VIM Fayssoux's' circularletter No. 8
will show. lie says:
Sons of Confederate Veterans
residing in the State of Louisiana,
| address this communication to
you and hope that you will give it
your consideration.
You should awake and appreci-
ate tie fact that the brave Confed-
crate soldiers are rapidly drifting
across the river that borders upon
that unknown land and that their
ranks are showing the loss of. their
departed comrades.
You are the ones who will inherit
the honor Of preserving their rec
ords and relics, Which are valued
so highly 10y them, Upon your
shoulders will descend the duty of
commemorating their deeds Of
ialOr.
1t therefore behooves you to take
Immediate steps for the placing of
yourselves in the position where
you will be fully qualified to obtain
your rights and if necessary, even
now to assist were you called upon
to do so.
10 form a Camp of the United
Sons of Confederate Veterans, it is
necessary that there be ten or more
male descendants of those who
served i'll the Confederate army Or
navy to the end Of the war, or died
in prison, actual service, or We're
killed i'll battle, honorably discharg-
ed or retired.
At present there are in this Di-
vision a Camp at NapoIeonville,
Plaquemine, DonaldsonvilIe, New

formation.
