10 There was good deal of putting
and blowing before Philips yesterday
morning. and MANY men and boys in
shirt sleeves running to and fro, and
ordering others, but doing little them
selves. We observe that, as usual on
such occasions, if a man wanted any.
thing done, he was very apt to have
to do it himself. At length the pole
went up, he men and boys went away
in different directions---the most of
them we learn went into Phillips to
cool off and refresh.

The Model Club Speaker.

The modal clnb speaker, is man of vast
research-profound knowledge. He knows
what Mr. Johnson said in 1918 about the
compromise, and what Mr. Gibbons did in
convention. Not only these things does he
know, but he is posted as to the proceedings
of the secret sessions of The executive vigi-
lence committee The model club speak
er very judiciously lets out the light of his
intelligence gradually that the populace be
not blinded with its brilliancy There are
: certain things necessary to be kept back,
and these he guards with roguish cunning
which is very commendable. The Model
Club speaker is never at hand, when called
on by the "uosce of the people'' to speak, if he
does happen to be in the room, he looks
daggers at the callers, and crouches behind
some fat man in order to hide himself. The
Model Club orator never rises at the first
call-but partly gets up at the second, and
at the third he stands erect with his hands
in his pockets, and gazes with a look of
patronizing condescention. When he goes
up to the stand, he invariable puts his hand
on his heart-appologiscs for being ,Inprc-
prepared and commences.

~For several evenings past, we have
observed on the road to the Catholic Gene
terry, negro man with basket Of flowers
Wondering Why he should take them from
town, we ventured yesterday to ask the
question. They were to strew upon the
tomb Of a lovely daughter, that a few short
months ago dropped her head, and now
lies Wondering in the dust What touching
poetry and pathos is this-what Heavenly
devotion! Could there be any better offer
ing at the holy shrine, of one SO pure as
she, than fresh morning howers"-fowers
that are ever pure, and sweet with the frag-
rance of spring time! Holy indeed is the
feeling that prompts such attention-what
melancholy sweetness in its exercise!
The love of the mother who manifests
her affection in this manner, must be fully
imbuea,w with the truth shat the flower

WHAT Is LIrE?-The following
beautiful description. in answer to this
question, is from Rev. Mr.. Mountford' S
Euthanasy:
"The present life is sleeping and
waking it is Good night on going to
bed, and Good Morning on getting
up : it is to wender what the day will
bring forth /: it is sunshine and gloomi-
ness it is rain on the window, as one
sits by the fire J; it is to walk in the
garden, and see the flowers open and
hear the birds sing it is to have the
postman bring letters; it is to have
news East, West, North, South; it is
to read old books and new books it is
to see pictures and hear music; it is
to have Sundays it is to pray with a
family morning and evening it is to
sit in the twilight and mediate it is
to be we'll, and sometimesto be ill it
is to have business to do, and do it it
is to have breakfast and dinner and
tea !; it is to belong to town, and to
have neighbors, and to be one in a cir
Gle acquaintance it is to have friends
to love one it is to have sight Of dear
old faces and, with some men, it is to
be kissed daily by the same loving lips
for fifty years ; and it is to know them
selves thought Of many times day,
in many places. by children and grand
children, and many friends"
If this it life, we fear that the great
mass do not live. And if to these in
gradients Of life be added the higher
joys and longing Of the spirit, how few
truly live!

The MAILs.-Whath has got into the mails7
Our friends at Greensburg bitterly com,Gn
of them. We are informed that no Ije75io-
cratic papers had been received there from as
Tar as Baton Rouge for five or six weeks,
while Wing papers come every mail. Our
citizens here are complaining loudly about
not receiving their Democratic papers And
we too find it difficult to get our paper to
our subscribers under three or four weeks.
Where is the fault Let it Re corrected
The foregoing is from that able campaign
paper, published at Clinton La and called
the Campaign Floridian. 1t is very ap-
propriate thing for Campaign paper, and
we hope other Campaign papers, through
out the State, will copy it and make the
most that can be, out of it.
The idea land we believe it was first
-'ooted in this city, that the Post master
at this place, sends all the Wing documents
to Greensburg, and keeps back the DEM
ocratic. This is quite probable. If peo-
pie do not receive their valuable Demo.
cratic papers regularly, 1t is beca use the
mails are overwhelmed with trash tracts.
issued by Wing executive committees and
Democrat caucuses. The mail from this
place to Greensburg is carried in saddlebags
on horse, and though they be large saddle.
bags yet it is found from actual measur-
ement, that they will not contain more
than two millions OF Campaign papers
like the Floridian at one time.

According to previous notice. the Demo-
Gratis assembled at the Court House G.
w. Christine IN the chair The Democrats
met to hear Mr.. Davidson's explanation
Mr. Davidson said ut was true that ne
had said certain unpalitable things about
Native Americanism-that he had be en-
decoyed by the Wings, and it was astonish-
ing that they should now turn against him.
He said he would like to see the names Of
the gentlemen in whose company he then
was, published. He defed the party to
publish them. Mr.. Davidson also said that
his party should not be blamed for the ex-
preston of his sentiments-that he recan-
ted his Native American acts, and he likes
to hear candidates speak out boldly when
they think proper to recant from errors.
(cheers.)
Mr. Mediation was called for and said he
would not make speech-that it was well
known that the Democratic party had al
ways been the friend of the down-troden
and oppressed of all nations-that he looked
upon every naturalized citizen as an equal
participant, in the blessings of Republican
ism, whether they come from the Emerald
Isle Of Eren, or Hungary! (cheers)
Judge Burk was called on, said that "his
feelings upon the subject of Native Ameri-
canism were well known to be inimcal to
every proposition from the party-that he
liked to hear candidates confess the error
of their first impressions before the people
that he should vote for Davidson"

answer, and somebody mooved to adjourn,

Mss JULlA DEAN,-This young
beautiful and talented sctress-"Th9
Star Of the West," the New York
Mirror calls her-has lately closed !
brilliant engagements 1t the Broadway
Theatre New York As we have before
stated. She created quite sensation
in Gothsm.s The Ere,sing Mirror
Of the 5th thus notices her closing
performances at the Broadway.
Miss Julia Deans performance Of
the part of "Parthenia in the sterling
tragedy Of Ingona 1t the Broadway
theatre on Sutueday evening was one
Of the finest pieces Of acting we have
ever witnessed. We write the words
deliberately and sincerely and do not
hesitate to add that Miss Dean has no
equal as a tragedse,ane upon the
American stage. In figure face and
voice she is almost faultless while her
gestures movements and attitudes are
digni6ed graceful and picturesque
But what is still better every look and
tone indicates high susceptibility Of
poetic beauty and complete identif-
cation Of the actress with the part as
sumed. She dresses too both her hair
and her person like picture p and
as the dutiful and devoted Greek girl
devoted equally to her father her lover
her country and her God, she was all
that eye and ear and heart could wish.
In the representation Of the horrible
terrible, Mis- Dean, Of course, could
not approach Miss Cushman's mon
strous personation Of Meg Merriles' );
and in certain hyacinthine parts, in
which like Juliet's, the soul exhales in
sweet excess, Mrs. Mowatt's tones
ma, be more tender and touching than
Miss Deans, But in all the essen
tial elements of great actress in
the union of strength and gentleness
passionate impulse and girlish simplici.
ty in ezae-naturaluess, -archness,
and the tout ensemble that constitutes
what the critics term eGectssveness,
Miss Dean outranks all her American
competitors and even in London not
outstanding the fiasco Of Buchanan
our Star of the West, would suffer no
eclipse from metropolitan favorites.
The Evenang Post Of the same date
remarks:
This accomplished and splendid ac-
tress has made more improvement in
her art of late years than any Of our
performers of either sex and promises
to take rank among the best artists Of
her profession. Her early faults which
were those Of excess and not Of def
cheney have been pruned away and she
is now most pleasing and graceful as
well as energetic performer. Her late
engagement at the Broadway Theatre
has filed the house every night and
has established for her an excellent rep
utation."
