A correspondent of the Jackson Clarion says that Pentotoc county, Miss, will vote for the convention by at least two to one.

 ONE DROP AT A T1ME.-Have you ever noticed how an icicle is formed? You mo- ticed how it froze, one drop at time, un- til 1t was foot long or more. If the water was clean, the icicle remained clear, and sparkled in the sun; but if the water was but slightly muddy, the icicle looked foul, and it's beauty was spoiled. Just so our characters are forming. One little thought or feeling at a time adds it's influence. If each thought be pure and right, the soul will be lovely, and will sparkle with happi- ness; but if impure and wrong, there will be final deformity and wretchedness.

one third of a circle, instead of his having i the whole circle at his command, as in for mer days
 It seems to me that all these new fangled { innovations and inventions are liable to two insuperable objections:
 lst. They increase the difficulties of games which already had difficulties enough for who, among amateurs, approaches pevection in ten pins, billiards or base ball? And if one man in million did approach 1t the majority never will. And,
 2d. They reverse the games from the full beauty of their original developments, to 8 few, occasional, brilliant hits. The object of such games, apart from the physical ex :, ercise that they induce, is success and dis play, in equal proportions. But the re- suit of the innovation, is the sacrifice of full display for the attainment of mere suc- cess no matter how attained
 If the theory of innovation on old estab- lished games is sound, it may as we'll be carried to it's extreme limit. If the mere accumulation of obstacles to success is a merit, let them be piled as high as Ossa Lay it down as a rule, that a man shall use but one hand in playing billiards; shall roll ten-pin ball with his left hand and shall play base ball with club twelve in ches long. Al 1ooKER-oN.
 P. S.-After seeing the match of Tuesday last between the Winsted and Litchfeld clubs, find thatI have omitted some of the modern Improvements" in the game.
 One of these is, a rule that when three of side are ''out,' the other six, are out, for the current innings. Now to remark on the nonsense of limiting the number of players to nine, why should not all of them keep on playing until all are out? That was the old rule. Why should a play CT go ''out" on any conditions other than his own default, or the skill of his oppo- nent? Why should he be ''out'' because one of his colleagues is put out?
 Another Improvement" is the rule that, although player may be caught out on a 'foul ball, he cannot, nor can any of his party, run for base on foul ball, That is absurd
 And, finally, as to the ball. In former days, the ball was of moderate weight and hardness and was covered with buckskin. It is now made very hard, very heavy and is covered with calfskin. The results ol which are, foul balls and damaged fingers, eyes, etc. Is there any adrantage in foul balls and personal injury to the players. Let me explain that calfskin cover is smooth, and buckskin, rough; the former glances off from the bat, or club, unless it is struck full in the middle, while the club tahes hold, as it were, of the rough OF soft surface of the buckskin cover, and nothing must be foul ball but ball grazed more or less by the club.
 conclude as before, that the result of all these new fangled obstacles is, to de- prive the game of its original developments ! of grace of grace and skill. They destroy the beauty of the game; and on the whole, prevent all but a small and exceptional mi nority from making good runs. They even humiliate the players of moderate skill, who necessarily from the majority of a com munity of young men. by preventing them often from making any runs at all.
