Lamar Fontainc has again rushed

Lamar Fontainc has again rushed
into print to prove himself the au-
thor OF Ais Quiet Along The Po-
tomac Tonight. Major Fontaine
has allowed us TO rest in fancied Sc
curity from his onslaught for many
years: but when We had begun to be-
lieve him quiet upon this subject
for the rest of his natural life, he
once again springs his old chestnut
without warning or provocation. 'Tis
passing strange the MUSES. should
have played Mr.. Lamar such an un-
accountable trick. that after inspir
ing his poets soul with such sweet
melody they should have forsaken
him, leaving his Tyre unstrung for 10.
these many years. Had he written
as a companion piece The Beautiful
Snow" or even mississippi 5 Ode, !
it would not h.such a tax upon US
to proclaim him the author OF All 5
Quiet Along the Potomac. : Or had
he like the fabulous swan, sang and
died, then within the deep, still
chambers OF our heart" would we
have piously entombed his memory,
and gladly have Taught future gener-
ations to mourn him as one cut down
at the beginning OF life of promise;
yea, and even TO regard themselves
as cruelty treated by the Fates for
thus depriving them of the privilege
of feasting their. souls upon produc-
tions Of his genius! But having sung
but once, and then refusing to die, it
is hard to make drafts upon the
Imagination necessary to crediting
hIr. Lamar with the authorship Of
poem in question.

Is not the Pascagoula Democrat
Star mistaken in saying "God made
the world and all the people in it a
like. Observation and experience
would. seem to teach the contrary.
Instead of a universal resemblance
there are no two alike, hence our
disagreements. If we are nursing a
delusion, we would like to continue
doing so; for, without arrogating
merit of any particular description
to ourselves, yet there are some peo-
pie whom it would be decidedly un-

early trouble to treating gold is over.
