W. j. l.,

The spring has come, and sounds OF spring
are borne upon the air;
The glnd snow shovel's merry ring
Resoundeth everywhere.
The snowbirds twitter In the trees:
The squirrels In the oaks
Are snoring deeply In their holes;
The early croous croaks.
The trolley snowplough whisks the snow
Against the trolley wires:
The faithful janI.or below
Is stirring up the ires,
Spring Eephyrs through the speaking tubes
Send UP their merry toots:
The schoolboys make the halls resound
With tramp OF rubber boots.
The snow carts start with half a load
Because their drivers know
Before they get half way TO the dumps
They'll have a load OF snow.
The iceman totes his little cube
As II on pleasure bent
II he carries 1t long enough twill be
As big as a tenement.
And every sound and every sight
Proclaims that spring is here,
And we should all be happy.
For II comes but onoe b year,

The combat deepens in Georgia. For
the purpose of running the Hon. HoKE
SMITH a cigar has been named after him.
Now, to make ruin more ruinous, his I'M
scrupulous foes are spreading the yarn that
he was originally named MIKE was
ashamed of it, and changed to "HoKE."
There will be a reaction against this surge
of calumny. As the Hon. THOMAS LAW
LESS of Augusta sings:
BY the horrd malodor and smoke,
Attacking the nostHls from far.
OF the Hoous cigar;
b. the millions that saunter and soak
In bis bar:
BY the dread which he seeks to evoke
OF the mOke'
BY the Gal In the Fountain that woke
The rapture OF nations, a star,
A sun that no ages can mar.
The Cracker Venus, the bright
Protectress and help Of the tight
BY all things that were or that are,
We swear TO be true TO our HoKE-
And his foes, may they vither and choke"

The Hon. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS is
not only the Democratic leader" Of the
House, but its leading comic poet. From
time to time the pages Of the Congress
siondl Record are enriched with paro-
dies or burlesque original verses by
this statesman-bard, the GEORGE CAM
MING of Yazoo. Mr.. WILL1AMs's exqui-
site taste in compositions Of this sort
has seldom been displayed to better adj
vantage than in his Charge OF the Wood
Brigade" or what the heather call tho
Massacre of Mount Dajo." Here are
the first two stanzas of this little MASTER
piece of truth, refined feeling and ster-
ling American patriotism:
Chased them from everywhere. %
Chased them all onward,
Into the crater Of death
Drove them-EK hundred
Forward the Wood brigade;
spare not a one,' he said;
Shoot all siX hundred
Forward the Wood bngadel
Was there a man afraid7
Not though a soldier knew
Heather had blundered
savages can't reply,
Heather can't reason why
Women and children die;
Forced In the crater OF death,
Forced with six hundred"
At the conclusion of the recitation
there was applause on the Democratic
side"
There are Democrats and Southern
Democrats-,a good many of them we
hope and believe-in whose ears this
cracking Of thorns under a pot will
have no pleasant sound. 1t is a relief
to turn away from those grinning in
suffers Of American soldiers and read the
manly and indignant words of a Demo-
cratic journal, the Nashville Americans:
The odicer In direct command was a Southerner,
Colonel DuScAS of Texas, Captain RIVERS, a
Tennessean, led one OF the attacking columns.
A Captain from Georgia led another. The most
seriously wounded ofncer was an Alabamian.
Among the pr!vates killed was a Tennessee boy.
Southerners do not wantonly slaughter women and
children or Kill prisoners. and any assertion TO the
contrary Is an Infamous talsehood. The dough
faced critics who are attempting TO reflect on the
honor Of the American soldier, as ONE OF them
are attempting TO do, will probably condemn the
ohhcers OF the law who are trying TO run down out.
laws and murderers in the Indian Territory.
suuaws who had rifles In their hands and who were
dressed like the bucks were killed In the night at
wounded Knee, and the soldiers were denounced
for II by this same class OF fea'hcrbed critics. The
American troops performed an unpleasant duty
at Mount Dajo. and are always ready 10 do their
duty whether It be pleasant and safe or disagree.
able and dangerous
1t is no new misfortune for the Demo-
cratic party ia he misrepresented by its
leaders" 1t is no new policy for these
to give moral aid and comfort to the
armed enemies of the United States, to
seek by voice and vote To hamper the
American army, to sheer at it, to judge
it uncharitabIy and maliciously; yet if
they have not and cannot acquire pa
triotism, the national. instinct, at least
one argument seems well suited to their
intellectuals: There are no votes in in
