RISH OF JEFFERSON La; SATURDAY, AUGUST H. 1860

IncendiariSm IN MiSSiSsiPpi-Oxford
Miss, has recently been the scene of
incendiarism, several fires having fol-
lowed each other in quick succession.
The Oxford Mercury, of the 25th ult.,
says:
We mentioned day or two since the
destruction of Col. Browns residence.
On the night of the 10Th ult., an effort
was made to fire the new stcammill, on
University street, but luckily the fire
was discovered, before doing much
damage. The next night the house of
Mr.. Nathan Worley, in the south part
of the town, was destroyed; loss about
$I,OOO-and the same night the dwell
ing house of Mr.. Wilson was set on
Ere, but was speedily extinguished.
The ensuing night, Sunday, similar
attempt was made on the dwelling house
of MIR. Robert Cook, but the fire was
discovered before it did damage.
No clue has rs yet been found to the
perpetrator of these bold acts of incen-
diarism. Various surmises and suspi-
cions are indulged in by the citizens
but, as yet, no definite form of action
has been taken in the premises. We
wait, anxiously, the further develop
ment of the plot, hoping that our
citizens may be soon relieved of their
fears, by the discovery and summary
punishment of the william or villains
engaged in it.

The Earth Angel.

"Oh | wish she would come, mothern'
The restless sufferer tossed wcarily
upon his, pillow as he spoke, and the
color of the hectic flushed cheeks deep
ened, and the large blue eyes grew more
brilliant, and the soft voice spoke as if
between hope and fear.
"Do you think she will come 2"
"'Tis not time, Eddie ; she never
comes till dark, darling," replied the
mother softly, smoothing back the boys
damp curls from the white forehead,
then again resuming her work, that work,
the pay%fo which would provide a roof
of some kind, however miserable, to
shelter her and her dying child; DYING.
yes, she knew he was dying, slowly and
surely as his father had passed away
two long years before; dying, and she
would soon be alone-and what would
life be then?
Don't cry, mother" murmured the
boy, gently, reaching out his little vast
ed hand, and wiping the tears from her
wan cheeks; ''you do not feel sad be
cause [ like to see the sweet lady come,
mother -
mo, no, Eddie, not that, dear: =. She
is our good angel, Eddie, and when
you. say your prayers you must ask
God to bless her too -
Il do, mother, O, do, mother. Last
night, when l was so panied, and thought
was dying, could not forget her, and
prayed that the good Father would al
ways bless her, for she is so good to the
poor; they all cali freG $hshgel, mother;
but isn't it most time for her to comet"
t'Not till dark, Eddie"
''I wish it was dark now-O, I wish it
was dark now, mother, you say she will
come then. l always feel better when
she is here; her hand quiets the pain that
burns in my forehead all the day long,
and her sweet voice, it's like the angels,
mother, that come'to me in my Dreams
don't you think every one in Heaven
will be like her, and have just such
smile as she has, and isn't she real
angel, mother? Oh, she talks so kindly
to me-" murmured the boy, dreamily :;
$50 kindly. and feIls me such sweet sto-
ries, and brings me such fruit and flow
ers, and wine, and jellies, and isn't she
an angel, mother and isn't it almost
dark, so that she will come 70

T,hs y. asi1her Law,

/
was in former days. a judge of the Dis
trict Court in Northern Texas, fond of
! joke, but very decided in his discharge
| of duty. Thos. Fannin Smith was
practicing lawyer at the bar, and hav-
ing shamefully misstated the law in his
address to the jury, turned to the Court
and asked the judge to charge the jury
accordingly. The Judge was ndignant,
and replied:
''Docs the counsel take the Court to
be fool ~
Smith was not abashed by the reproof,
but instantly responded:
II trust your Honor viii not insist
on an answer to that question, as l
might, in answering it, truly be consid-
cred guilty Of contempt of Court"
''Fine the counsel ten dollars, Mr..
Clerk said the Judge.
Smith immediately paid the money,
and remarked that it was ten dollars
more than the Court could show.
Fine the counsel fifty dollars said
the Judge.
The fine was entered by the clerk,
and Smith, not being ready to respond
in that sum, sat down. The next morn
ing, on the opening Of. the Court, Smith
arose, and, with xnuch Difference of
manner, began;
/. "May it please your Honor, the clerk
ttook that little joke>of ye us, yesterday,
about the $50 serious, as perceive
from the reading of the minutes. VIII
your honor be pleased to inform him,
of the error and have it erased 2"
The coolness of the request, and the
implied apology, pleased the judge, and
he remittcd the fine.
