execute them, and II they are prevented, let the
onus rest upon those who interfere. In other
words, we owe 1t to ourselves to demand our
rights and endeavor to exercise them, otherwise
they will never be forced upon us. 1t is the
duty of the people OF Mississippi to seat them

quadrangle of buildings around the college

HENRY A. WISE has always been fg"rative.
Long ago he astounded us by making the
Allegheny Mountains tower to the heavens for
the express purpose of milking the clouds.
That was the height of the sublime; bat now
he condescends to everyday talk when he
accepts the Democratic nomination because
"straws show how the wind blows" This is
certainly not very complimentary to Seymour,
limiting pretty broadly that his form of seces-
sionism can be tolerated by the South because
even the way a straw, or a strawman, tends
will show the direction of an expected storm.
Semmes, the pirate, too, can accept the
nomination as a hopeful sign of the times, and
vow his allegiance to the flsg-not the star
spaneled banner that now floats in the breeze,
but the flag as it will be after the Democratic
ticket is elected.
Wade Hampton eulogizes Whites battal-
lion (Maryland troops) for always being in
the front, and advises them that the daring,
courage, and devotion with which they then
met their invading foe must be turned with
equal fidelity to the duties of peace, and the
best way that they can perform this work is
to vote for Seymour and Blair.
If the badly reconstructed continue to
sag more and blare in this fashion about the
coming revolution, the people will remember
another old adage-forewarned is forearmed.

THB TREATY WITH CHINA, recently negotiated
by Secretary Seward and Minister Burlingame
and his Chinese companions, was ratified by
the Senate, at half-past eleven O'Clock last
night, after being under consideration and dis
cussion for nine hours. This is an event Of
more than ordinary importance, and we can
afford to congratulate ourselves on the fact
that, as nation, we have enjoyed the first
privilege Of entering into such amicable rela.
tions with the Celestial Empire.

What to Read, and How.

THE prevailing style of light literature is often
very severely criticised as exercising an in
furious effect upon the reading community; but
il is not so much aOhat is read, as ho it is read,
that causes the evil. The best book skinned
over hastily and thrown aside like broken
toy, which has furnished pastime for an idle
moment, may have a more injurious effect
upon the mind than even the silliest trifs
perused seriously.
The comparatively few hours that are allot-
ted in any life to severe study are not sufi-
oient for educating the intellect into habits of
attention, cultivating the memory and i'm
proving the taste, and any employment OF
leisure which interferes with these acquire
ments is thus far hindrance to intellectual
improvement. A mathematician would not
permit himself to find relaxation in false and
careless calculation; then why should any one
who aims at considerable degree of mental
education "gobble" up book merely because
it is a novel,
Many parents are much to blame in per.
mittipg the acquirement of findolent and careless
habits in this respect. The girl or boy whC
has been confined all day to unattractiye schOo
studies, will crave food for the imagination
II isa natural want, and must be supplied
but as careful supervision is necessary her
as in any other branch of education. Give

A SHORT MEMoRY.-A leading Democratic
journal says that the fact that General Lee
some years ago surrendered his sword to
General Grant, is a very insufficient reason for
making Grant Presidential candidate. The
singular indefniteness of that much used
word some, seems to be good means of pre-
pairing the way for passing an act of oblivion
over the great events of the last decade. If
the war is now treated as an event that
occurred some years ago it may presently be
forgotten entirely. .H
