THE MISSISSIPPI STARvATIoN-That
the reports of starvation in Mississippi was
not unfounded, is proved by the following
remarkable statement from The Brandon
Miss Republican:
Major Hawkins is now on his way to the
Western States to by corn, as agent for his
friends and neighbors. He showed us a
list of those who had requs sted him to pur-
chase for them, and also list of those who
were in destitute condition and compelled
to ask the citizens of the Western States,
throuh him to give them corn to keep them
and their families from starving. The two
lists comprised two hundred and seventy
nine names, wanting from twenty to five
hundred bushels. and amounting in all to
twenty -four thousand seven hundred and
thirty-sx bushels. Most of those send
ing are responsible men, but they cannot
raise money to pay fer it, and it is the in
tention of Major Hawkins to lay the facts
before those who have corn for sale, and
try to induce them to sell corn on credit
until next fall.

WASHINGTON BRIEF AND APPRoPGIATE
SPEECH.-A correspondent of the Boston
Journal mentions the following incident:
When Washington made his progress to
the Northern States, in 1889, he avoided,
as was proper under the circumstances,
passing through Rhode Island, which had
not then accepted the Constitution. The
nearest point to that State at which he
stopped was the town of Plainfeld, Con-
neticut, where he passed night. A large
party of ladies from Providence had made
the journey to Plainfeld to see him. The
throng of citizens of the town and sur
rounding parts was so great that these la
dies, who were assembled in room in the
hotel opposite to that in which the recep-
ton was held, after waiting many hours
were almost in despair of the object, when
the committee of arrangements stated their
case to Washington, and proposed that he
afford them the qualification of seeing him
by going to the room where they were. Tc
to this with his accustomed gallantry, he
at once asssntcd. Entering the room he
placed himself on an elevated position
bowed to. the ladies and uttered the words
Ladies, if you, have come so far to see ar
old man, how far would you go to see {
young one?" bowed again and immediate
ly retired.

PLAIN TALK. Go out into the open air
young women and add lustre to your eyes,
bloom to your cheeks, elasticity to your
steps, and vigor to your frames! Take ex-
ercise, loose your corset strings and run up
hill for wager, and down again for fun
roam the fields, climb the fences, leap the
bitches, wade the brooks, and after a day
of unrestrained liberty, go home with an
appetite acquired by healthy enjoyment
The blooming and beautiful young woman
rosy checked and bright eyed-who can
darn stocking, mend her own frocks com.
mand regiment of pots and kettles, feed
the pigs, milk the cows, and be a lady when
required, is the girl that can make good
wife. But the pining screwed up, wasI
wasted, doll dressed, consumptive mort
gagged, music numbering and novel devour
ing daughters Of fashion and idleness, are
no more fit for matrimony than pullet il
to look after brood of fourteen chickens
The truth is girls want less fashionable re
straint and more ilerty o action; more
kitchen and less parlor; more leg exercise
and less sofa; more pudding and less piano
moro frankuess and loss mock modesty.

EXTRAvAGANCE OF FAsnIoN.-Since the rage, says
the London Review, for dress and fnery set in,
since extravaganza became womanly beauty, and
to live beyond ones means social requirement
since the looms and the workshop have taken the
place OF birth aud refinement and the moneyed yul-
garian is counted higher than the peuniless ariso
erst, since women have been ranked by what they
wear and not by what they are, and becoming
toilet is counted equal To personal grace, since
none but chosen few dare to be simple but
remnant of the faithful dare to hold themselves
aloof from luxury and fashion, more families have
been ruined than has ever been known before, aud
the boasted happiness of the English home is fast
becoming fable and myth

"A correspondent writing from Clarks-

says that the sales aud receipts of tobacco
are now beginning to fall off, and the bulk
of the crop, which is very poor, has been
sold Owing to the unusually favorable
winter for prizing, the short crop, and the
need of money, the business will be over
three months earlier than usual Our cor
respondent desires US to urge upon the
planters the importance of raising more
"meat and bread" and less tobacco as the
former is much more profitable crop than
that of an ordinary grade Of tobacco

Standard, upon full and sufficient authority, makes
the following statement; 1--WE learn that Mr.. Bell,
Of Tennessee, and Mr.. Gilmer, of this State were
offered seats in Lincons Cabinet. Mr. Bell replied
that under the circumstances he could not accept,
unless the incoming President would furnish him
with a written programme of his policy; that il
this be done and be should be thereby assured that
no movement would be made by the President and
his Cabinet inimical 10 his section, and he should
be also thus assured that he would be able to act
haImoniously with the Administration, he would
accepta place in the Cabinet. A special programm,
was not furnished but he was referred to the Inau
gural Address as embodying the views of the Pres
ident.
Mr.. Gilmer we learn, made the same reply; bu
in both cases the positions referred TO were at frs
declined, and the terms as above given were no
required until they were pressed a second time Il

An Indiana hoosier was travelling down the
