A. MOTHERS LAST THOUGHT.-Late
iorelgn papers state that the Marine establish
ment at Algiers had been the scene of a ter
ilpie explosion. The pavilion, and the build
ings inhabited by artillery workmen and 9th.
ers, had been carried away. The ernlos;on
took place in the two magazines. sepapatcd
from each other by a ditch at the foot of the
old Spanish town, upon which the lighthouse
stands. Forty-three artillery workmen, ten
arulleTyInen, thirty one p~ontonniers, and two
workmen, were killed, and thirty wounded,
At the time OF the calamity, there were TWEEN
ty persons in the drawing-room of the director
OF the port, Mr.. Segretier, whose wife hearing
her child cry, left the apartment that instant
the portion of the building where the child
was, gave way, and the mother and the infant
were buried in the ruins. The last words of
the poor woman were " Save my child q"

THE PILOT OF THE SWALLOW RI,

III P1LOI SWA W.-The
grand jury of the U. s. Circuit Court at New
York brought in, on Friday, "a true bill against
WIN. Burnett, late pilot of the Swallow, char
ging him with ma~nslaughter. Thcindictment
charges that Z" the said William Burnett did,
by his misconduct, negligence or inattention,
cause the death, on the night of the 7th of
April last, by drowning or suffocation.' &c.
We are glad to find that the grand jury have SO
promptly done their duty.
The author of the "Curtain Lectures" -of
winch we have republished one or two-is
dead. His name was Lamar Blanchard, and
his contributions to the London Punch were
among the best articles in that paper. The
" Curtain Lectures" were written whilst his
vile was lying at the point of death. and his
heart was filed with affection. So il is. The
reader who laughs over the ~sallies of wit. lit
tie dreams that what excites his mirth is often
wrung from a brain afflicted with desna;r
Blanchard was of a most amiable and free dis
position, remarkable for his social qualities
his companionable spirit, and great ~neatness
OF dress. And yet with all these he was un-
happy, and in a fit of delirium committed SUI
icide by cutting his throat.-Bah. Pat.

OF Some of our readers deny tho truth
of tho item in relation to Rev. Mr. Mar
shal's lecture, in our last paper, and CEN
sure us for publishing 1t, In the handful
announcing his lecture he said he would
present considerations which should
enlitle ST. Paul to be considered the Saviour
Of Mankind rather than Jesus Christ"
He claims to be orthodox in his notions.
We know and care to know nothing Of Mr.,
Marshall or his lectures, and simply stated
the fact as we met with /, in half-a-dozen
exchange papers. Those who wish further
information can write to tho Rev. lecturer,

all---democrats generally arc not so dainty
and delicate as to be prevented from ira
yelling by the heat Of summer, pshaw !
It is now but seven or eight weeks until
tho I'd Monday of May, for which time the
editor says he has T" set his megs," and SO
far as we have seen, not delegate has been
appointed and does any body believe, in

the counties would be represented at that
time! We hope the "Guard" will recon-
slider the matter, and set his " megs" FOR a
time when full representation may be had.

call the attention Of our energetic and

Gov, BgowH AND THE BRANDON RAN
ROAD Goa war OF words has been engen.
dcred, and some excitement raised abou
jackson, growing out Of the refusal Of the
Executive TO pay over SIS, 900 OF the two
per. cent. fund TO the deiunci Jackson and
Brandon Railroad and Bridge Company
II will be remembered that the State had a
lien on this road for debt Of S220, 900 due
the treasury by the old Brandon Bank. To
secure this debt, (which was subsequently
assumed by the Railroad company an
act was passed granting to said company
the loan Of $25 900 Of the two per cent.
fund, to DO secured by mortgage or the road,
upon certain conditions, as to when the
road should be commenced, when finished,
Nc. Soon after Gov. Browns installation,
the company presented the mortgages and
demanded tho money. The Governor very
prudenty determined to lay the matter be-
fore the Legislature and ask It's authority,
by act or resolution, for paying out the mo-
noy--whch he did byspecial message da-
ted 9th February, 1914. The Legislature
failed or refused to give the authority, and
the day after tho adjournment tho timo in
which the road was to have been complet.
ed, expired. The money was again de-
manded, and the Governor refused to pay
ii. The opinion of I" learned counsel"--G.
s. Yergor, Esq. then obtained by the
company, who gave as his opinion that the
company not having complied with the
conditions by commencing the road within
two months, and completing It within two
years, "has forfeited lis charter to the State,
ii the State chooses to assert such right"
Under all the circumstances, the Governor
determines to refer the whole matter 10 the
next Legislature.
The Company make very savage as
sault upon the Governor in the last Mis-
sssippian, but we do not SEQ that they CO.
lablish any fact except that he displayed
cautious and commendable prudence, anx-
ious that tho corporation should have its
rights, with due regard to ihorights and in
icrests of the State. Admitting the private
conversations which they aIledge to have
had with His ExcelIoncy, and tho promi-
SOS which their importunate entreaties ex-
torted from him, to display some ndecsion,
II will be readily excused when the com.
plicated state Of the whole affair is taken
into consideration, coupled with the fact
that tho Governor had just assumed the du-
ties of his Office, and was overwhelmed
with business.
For our part, we do not believe the Co.
vernon had authority to pay tho money af-
Ter tho company had failed to commence
tho work within two months and we be-
lieve the fact Of tho failure was sufficient,
without judicially obtaining forfeiture Of
the charter. AS II Is, the S25 900 Is sun in
