CIRCULAR.
Jackson, Miss, Oct. q, 1s6

Jackson, Miss, Oct "a, 1866. \
The Ladies of jackson, prompted by
those feelings of sympathy and love which
suffering excites and greatness OF charac-
ter warns into an active feeling, have de-
cided to appeal to their countrywomen IN
all portions of Mississippi, and to ask
their aid in carrying out the noble design
of providing for the family of our honored
and loved ex- President, Mr.. DAVIS. Inc
privations to which the war has reduced
SO many of US, we have not felt so severe
" as he. The sufferings we have under
gone, have been heaped upon him, ten-lold.
A prisoner, whose life is demanded sac
rifice for the cause he espoused for US and
for the honor and good of his State, he is
debarred from entering the arena OF active
life, to provide for the present comforts
and the future wants of those who look to
him, as husband and father, for protection
and support. The generosity OF friends,
and the gentle hand of charity, have here
tofore ministered to his necessities. 1t
becomes us peculiarly, as Mississippians,
to take charge of providing for him and
his family, and perform, as sacred duty
what strangers are doing from sympathy
With this view, and to express to him, in
substantial manner, those feelings OF
care, regard and remembrance Of him we
all feel, we ask your aid in organizing, in
your county, society to act in concert
with and report to the one we have organ
lied here.
We enclose you the proceedings OF our
meeting.
Mrs. B. G. HUMPHREYS, President.
MISS Sue ADAMS, Secretary.

says:
In Missouri, the man who sells whis-
ky on Sunday without license, is fined
from ten to twenty-five dollars. The man
who breaches the gospel on Sunday with
out license is fined not less than five
hundred dollars and sent to jail"
The St. Louis Christian Advocate cop
les the foregoing and says:
:" A slight error in this. The preacher
is not both fined and imprisoned. He is

In Memory of J. W. Burruss

\ The Sabbath School of the NJ. E.
Church South in Woodville, Miss, wish
to bear formal testimony to the high worth
of their late Superintendent, and to ex-
press their profound grief over his death.
For many years he has supervised the in
terests and conduct of this school with
marked success. His great wisdom, his
deep knowledge, his affable bearing and
his intense devotion to Christ eminently
fitted him for the place he held amongst
us. The SAVIOR of his own pure christian
life was shed on Teachers and pupils. and
all paid him an affectionate reverence and
yielded him implicit confidence. His eye
was especially careful of the children Of
the poor, his heart yearned for them, and
he sought to fix in their hearts the ele-
ments of that christianity that could en-
noble and save them in the midst of unto
ward surroundings.
He had true admiration for the sim
pie honesty and sincere integrity of the
poor; their sturdy virtues, though appear
ing in rudeness and rags, gave to him the
promise of a useful, valuable life, and con-
stituted, in his estimation, the elements Of
the most exalted character. In the face
of all the corruption and crime of our na-
ture and Of mems lives, he believed there
was core of truth in that nature, which
might be developed into the completest
manhood by the agencies of Christianity.
His confidence in this, nerved, expanded
and delighted his heart in his labors in
the Sabbath School, These labors have
yielded large fruitfulness in the hearts
and lives of those associated with him in
the School. To come near him was to be
benefited, and though he is removed from
our midst here, we feel that he still lives
amongst us in those holy principles he so
earnestly labored to inculcate, which were
so right an expression of his own charac-
ter, and which the remembrance of him
self will always excite in the true and good.

IA It is said that there have been
eight hundred applicants for admission to
Washington College, Lexington, Virginia.
None are rejected on account Of not being
able to pay the college fees. Gen. Lee is
willing to accept their notes, believing
that young men who receive their educa-
ton under such circumstances will not fail
to respond to their obligations whenever
they are able.

A VALUABLE REcIrE.-A correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia Ledger, writes
that six years experience has convinced
him that coat Of gum copal varnish ap-
piled to the soles of boots and shoes and
repeated as it dries, until the pores are
filed and the surface shines like polished
mahogany, will make the soles waterproof,
and also cause them to last three times as
long as ordinary soles.

B@~ 1t is pretty well settled that the
silk stocking 18th Regiment of New York
will 60 to the great Paris Exposition F;
and now some of our exchanges are sug-
costing the propriety Of organizing regi-
ihent Of Confederate veterans and sending
them over to show the world the kind Of
material that defied the North with her
million and half of warriors for four
years. The Aberdeen Examiner disap-
proves the proposition, and very properly,
too. We need no such display. When
the bloodless Seventh appears, the he
roes of Sebastopol and the Mincio will say
to one another, to quote the language Of
the Examiner: "If these men represent
the yictors ofa four years war, what nsSt
the vanquished be, who only succunlbed
to hunger and nakedness, and are as brave
and proud, and dauntless, even now, as
when they gathered the spoils from the
fields of Manassas, Seven Pines,
Gaines Farm, Fredericksburg Chancellors-
vile, Chickamauga, and the hundred 9th
er successful fights against overwhelming
numbers !"

less, and men in loneliness and nakedness
must meet a relentless reality, then the
truth will make itself heard. Such an
hour there was when the Confederacy died,
and many hopes died with it. When peril
was felt to be imminent and men doubted
and trembled, then, as the needle turns to
the pole, mems hearts here turned to John
w. Burruss, as the needed man-the man
in whom was help; whom all could trust,
whom foes must respect, whose clear eye
could discern the way Of escape and whose
manhood could achieve the rescue. Such
was the popular verdict in true, earnest
hour. Unconscious belief in him became
conscious, and the acknowledgment ofhis
worth, SO long suppressed, would no longer
be stihed. He was equal to any position
requiring purity and power, and such he
would have adorned. In wide travel
through the domain of literature, he gath
cred much ola valuable material which
became his, not only by right of the labor
of acquiring, but also by recoinage in his
own mental mint; from whence it came
forth with increased worth and bearing
bis image and superscription. This wealth
he literally bestowed !; and not a few were
thereby enriched. His diction, oral and
written, was rich, elegant and robust
The things uttered were those men needed
to hear. He saw through varnish and
wrappage into mems hearts, through shows
into the substance of things. He was a
profound thinker, a great sayer and doer.

STRUGGLE AND TRIUMPH.-When FIRST intro
dced the Nitrous Oxide Gas TO the dental pro.
tsejOn at New York. in 1868, II was long time
More the public and the profession were con.
tneed that we could actually extract teeth
fAhout pain. But the new agent gained friends
laily, and at the present writing we have ex-
racted teeth for a. l26 patients, without the
hrst failure or unpleasant effects from the gas,
nor has any one said that he would have teeth
drawn In any other way. All of these have
signed our scroll, certifying that their teeth
have been drawn without pain, or any unplea-
SAINT effects from the gus. In Philadelphia we
have extracted teeth since the 18th of October
last, for t,oo thousand seuen hundred and fortyfoe
patients, with the same result in every case as
in New York. EHr
By employing the best dental skill for extract
ing Il pay one man tor extracting $50 per weekly,
and exercising great care TO extract no teeth
that can and ought to be saved by filling, we
have removed all opposition to the gas, and
nearly halfour business now comes from patients
sent to us by the medical and dental professions.
An our patients have added their names to a
scroll certifying that their teeth were drawn
without pain. We invite the public to call and
see the list. Opposite their names they have
written sentences like the following;-" Very
good" "a perfect miracle" ''NeUer kneo0 IT,"
as Il possible ?" "No pain t0hoteyer." "a
painful reality dispelled by pleasant dream. .
Had sweet dream; could not believe they
we're out" ...
One great advantage OF the gas is, that it is
entirely harmless, and can be breathed by the
most delicate, nervous and feeble patients
without injury, DR.. Thomas, formerly of New
York, who is to do the extracting for the future,
is one of the most careful and successful opera.
tors in the profession, as all will testify who
have been under his care. Dentists and mem.
bers of the medical profession having patients
desirous OF having teeth extracted, are invited to
call and witness operations.
