LATE DATEs-REeULARITY OF THE MAILS
One of our citizens received by Tuesdays
mail, letter dated and post marked ssNew-
Orleans. July Esd, 1872 and arrived here
on the 30th July, 1899, making little over
two years that it has been on the road. Is
not that punctuality in the mails! Yes, it is
with a vengeance! Why certainly it must
have mistaken its way, and accidently took
a whaling voyage round Cape Horn or there-
abouts. We never before knew the extern
sion of Amos Line; but if it be SO that this
letter has taken the aforesaid trip, why, all
we have got to say is, ebrother Amos must
be devilof feller.''
We received, also, by the same mail, the
Southern Argus. printed at Columbus, Mi,
dated Nov Is, 1888; and also, the Rich
mond Wing of the 18th October, 1888. This
is nuick travelling truly.

The CIGAR.-Give US good cigar after
dinner in preference to any other luxury
named in the calander Of good things; it
imparts the most agreeable excitement and
makes life worth talking about. To enjoy
a cigar these days, you must first aid in the
demolition Of good dinner, made up of sea-
sonable vegetables, the hind quarter of a
delicate mutton, some choice fruit, and a
few bottles of pure claret. We are not so
lucky as to have all these things, but then
there is no harm in teaching orr luxurious
loafers how to relish the excellencies of a
splendid regalia, or in an other phrase, there
is no want of dignity and good sense in
speaking Of its unequalled qualities. We
are greatly attached to emoking-from boy
hood we have been devoted to it, and we
declare and defend the opinion, that there
is much philosophy in cigar. Reader, have
you high relish for good cigar? If so,
Go you not agree with us in placing the
cigar among the first of human enioyments.
Light your cigar with live coal, place it
lightly between the lips and then puff softly
and languidly; never bite your cigar and do
not encourage disposition to spit. A cigar
thus consumed, will excite to most luscious
sensations and make you happy, the ascend
ing smoke will teach you grace and direct
the mind to the wonders of atmosphere,
while the falling ashes will display thoughts
of life and the grave, upon which moralista
might ponder with profit. Truly, there is
much luxury and philosophy in cigar.

The SANDERS Of Henry Clay have grown
stale and disgusting. There neverlived a
Statesman who so rapidly rose above the
tempest Of party persecution, and the scan
daious falsehoods Of prostituted pens As
the corruptions Of Van Buren, is exposed, the
light Of virtuous truth breaks upon our citi-
zens. Henry Clay is the choice of the honest
and intelligent II Mississippi.
