WATERS AT FAsHIoNABLE Ho-
TELs.-A writer, who has experienced
the joy Of stopping at a fashionable
hotel, gives an account of his skirmish
with the walters for breakfast:
For instance, Waiter, I'll take
mutton chops, and an omelette and
coffee. The morning paper was
nearly read, when our waiter was seen
waiting on another party few tables
off, He religiously kept his eyes in
another direction from ours. The
head waiter was called and asked if
we were to have any breakfast. He
supposed we we're But as he at once
took up his old stand at the door was
evidently not quite sure about it.
Another waiter was summoned. /
picked him out because he had sort
of forlorn look, and l thought he
would like to be befriended. Our
order was again given. The paper
was finished at last he came with
veal outlets cold and boiled eggs.
Coffee or tea, sir?' i told you cof-
fee'-very tartly-'When / gave you
the order This was unlucky-the
fellow had no idea Of standing it, for
shortly after, without having brought
the coffee, he was seen waiting on a.
young gentleman who put piece of
money in his hand"

AN UNRoMINTIc HUsBAND.-An

effect of a pleasant smile and a kind
word npon her husband when BE re-

bow home should be pleasant, and
the wife should always meet the hus-

cess she had is best given in the shape
Of dialopge. Enter husband,
almost exhausted, and very hungry
vithal, throws his hat on the floor;
and drops heavily'into a seat. Wife
preparing'tea looks up with a smile
and is so glad to see him
Wife-aWell my dear it is SO nice
to have you here at meal time" "A

The facts of Gen. Rosencraus visit
as given by the Boeniag Journal, are
simply these General Rosecrans
has no address in his possession what,
ever, nor has one, to his knowledge,
been prepared up to this time. He
says he talked more about railroad
matters than on political subjects, and
that he was not sent to the Spring;
by any party or in the interest of any
party, but went at his own selection
not, however, on business of the
Democratic or any other politica
party"

The FIRST BALE FROM DEsoTo.-
Our enterprising and public>spirited

Mr.. Bridgeforth is one of the oldest
and most influential citizens Of Desoto
county. We hardly thought Desoto
would lead Panola aud Marshall
counties; but Mr., Bridgeforth was
determined that his county should
not be behind, and so his well known
energy and enterprise have brought
/" old Desoto' out ahead. He also
says he intends to have " that keg
of brandy" for the first five bales.
What have our friends in Marshall

A CoNFEDERATE Law SUIT.-The
case Of Greenwood against Ripley
was heard before the Vice Chancellor
this week. 1t seems that Gen. Rip
ley, who commanded at Charleston
for long time during the war, claims
9l00,00O in respect Of the non deliv-
cry of certain plant and machinery
for the manufacture of Enfield rifles,
originally ordered Of the plaintiffs,
(who we're military machinists at
Leeds, } for the use Of the Confederate
Government, by the defendant, Gen.
Ripley. The plaintiffs were willing
to deliver it to whoever was entitled
to it. This is a curious case, aud we
should not be surprised if the Govern.
ment IF the United States should
"put its finger in the pie" If Gen
Ripley has paid for this "plant" with
Confederate funds, of course tht
Federal Government will claim tht
properly on the principle Of "to tn,
yictors belong the spoils." In th,
meantime, the plaintiff is in comfort
lable possession. London CosuO

BY REV. A. J. RYAN.
Yes, give me the land
Where the ruins are spread,
And the living tread light
On the hearts of the dead
Yes, give me the land
That has legends and lays,
That tell of the memories
Of long vanished days,
Yes, give me the land
That hath story and song
To tell OF the strife,
Of the right and the wrong,
Yes, give me the land
With a grave in each spot,
And names in the graves
That shall ne'er be forgot.
Yes give me the land
OF the wreck and the tomb
There's grandeur in graves
There's glory in gloom
For out of the gloom
Future brightness is born,
As, after the night,
Looms the sunrise of morn.
And the graves of the dead,
With the grass overgrown,
May yet form the footstool
OF Liberty's throne
And each simple wreck
In the way path of might,
Shall yet be a rock
In the temple Of right

In Paraguay women do all the
farm work, (tending the focks and
tilhng the groun1) and fill the petty
offices of the Government, and it is
alleged that Paraguay is the only
country in the world where woman
has the perfect equality with man.
She holds Office, fights, works on the
farm, recruits soldiers, serves in the
hospital, ghardes the house tames
horses, and, in fine, she is free, Man
has taken off the shackles, and is
equal to the situation.

In the orient land of pleasure
There's bird, of that sweet cline,
That is to the East treasure,
And its warbling so sublime,
That whoever stands before it
Feels a spell around them thrown,
Till they worship and adore it,
And become entire its own;
Every heart submissive bringing
By the charm of its sweet singing.
Ia the West there is maiden,
Classic, lovely and benign,
And her mind is ever laden
With the sweetest thoughts divine.
What that bird is to the East land
Is that maiden to the West
Both the idols Cf the feast.land,
None can tell which is the best
Save that Elias pow'r of charming
lsatAe dowr of Virtues arming.
