A FATHERS ADVICE TO HIS Son. Bob, YOU
are about leaving home for strange parts.
You're going to throw me out Of the game,
and 90 it alone The odds is agin You Bob,
but remember always that industry and per
severance are the winning cards; they are
the bowers. Book larning and all that sort
of thing will do to fill up with, like small
trumps, but YOU must have the bowers to back
'em else they amt worth shucks. If lucks runs
again you pretty strong don't cave in and
look like sick chicken on a rainy day, but
hold your head up and make believe You arc
flush for trumps, they wont play so hard agin
You. Eve lived and travelled around some
Bob, and Eve found ont rs soon as folks
thought YOU held weak hand, they'll all
buck aGin you strong. SO when you're sorter
weak keep on bold front, but play cautious !;
be satisfied with a p'int-many's the hand
I've seen euchred cause they played for too
much keep your eyes well skinned, Bob,
don't let 'em mig on you; recollect the game
lays as much with the head as with the hands.
Be temperate; never get drunk, for then,
no matter how good your hand, you won't
know how to play it both bowers and the
ace wont save you, for there's sartin to be a
"miss-deal' OF something wrong. And an
other thing, Bob Ghis was spoken in low
tone,) don't 90 tomuch on the women. queens
is kinder poor cards the more YOU have of
'em the worse for you. you might have three
and nary trump don't say discard 'em
all; if you get hold of one that's trump it,
all good and there's sartn to be one out of four.
And above all, Bob, be honest; never take a
mans trick that don't belong to you. nor slip
cards or mig for then YOU cant look your
man in the face, and when that's the ease
there's no fun in the game; its regular "cut
throat SO now Bob farewell; remember
what tell you and you'll be sure to win, and
if you don't, sarves YOU right if YOU get
"skunked."

Sixteen years had passed away on 'the
wheels of time" when General Zachary Tay
lor and Colonel Jefferson Davis met in a for
eign country, amid the sickening scenes of
blood, carnage, and battle, in defense Of their
countrys honor, and over both of whose com
mandS detiantly iloated the ''Star spangled
banner''-a flag which, at that date, January
Sth, 1913, was in truth and reality the emblem
of Liberty and equality. Wherever on that
sanguinary field the fierce contest ragged and
duty called, there was seen the noble and sol
dierly form of Col. Jefferson Davis at the
head of the "First Mississippi Rifles" than
which no more courageous, gallant and glo-
rious regiment ever unsheathed sword for ma
tional honor. This was the battle of Bucna
Vista, in Mexico, where Col. Davis va, Sc

fall of his horSc--the latter being instantly
killed.

citement and Grief which the discovery of the
capture of the lieutenants and ladies, by the
ruthless savages, had occasioncd through the
village. Lieutenant Wilson essayed an cx-
PLANTATION, but the old man mOtionng the
lieutenant to be silent, gave has order, and
away dashed the whole party toward the vii
lage-the ''rescuers" filled with Joy over the
fortunate turn of events and happy results
of the morning, while the side of the ''reScu-
ed We're splitting with laughter at the ludi-
crous mistake of their friends.
Arriving at the village, the lieutenants and
ladies. without being permitted a word in ex-
planation, were rapturously greeted by men,
women, and children in every manner calcu-
lated to manifest the great JOY Of the popula-
ton consequent upon their miraculous escape
from tomahawks and scalping-knives, after
passing that dreadful night in the custody of
savages.
Few men have lived who, at any period
of their existence possessed stronger self-wil

Wis; yet, in vain did he on that occasion exert
every faculty and power to repress risibilities
Of his nature in order to render an expana-

state Of affairs, that is. that jeff and his
daughter Knox had engaged in a runaway
match" with Lieutenant Wilson and the
beautiful Miss Street As groomsman and brides

hour every man, woman, and child in the
village knew all about the wedding; and a.
they discussed the singular affairs and adven-
lures Of the morning, the most uproarious
shouts of laughter arose from every group
and household.
There was, however, one face amid that
wide spread scene of mirth and gayety that
was livid with rage; two lips tightly com
pressed, two eyes flashing with indignation.
and one strong hand grasping now and again,
the hilt of an oft-tred sword. The reader
may well ina gilc that i refer 10 Col. Zachary
Taylor, before whose angry glance brave in

become faint.
Col Taylor having declared, with an oath
strong as ever used, that under no circum-
stances would he ever forgive Davis or be-
come reconciled with his daughter, an alena-
ton thereafter existed as wide As the poles of

Judgment nisi will be taken against

All jurors summoned must be in at

a list of cases will be published on

The Dickens habeas corpus case came
up GA yesterday at 2 o'clock pm, be-
fore Judge Foute. Sheriff Curry placed
the body Of Col. Dickens in charge of
the Marshal of the Municipal Court,
and was released from custody, he
having obeyed the order of Court.
A motion to dismiss the petition was
fled by the State on the grounds;
First, That no reason is assigned in
the petition why the petitioner did
not apply to the Criminal Court, it be-
ing the nearest Court, for bail previous
to the filing of this petition-the in
dictment having been found by the
Grand Jury of the Criminal Court.
Secondhand the indictment and
capia5 issued thereon by the Criminal
Court are sufficient to authorize the
detention ofthe said Dickens by Sher-
if Curry, and these facts appearing on
the face OF the papers, the petition
must be dismissed, unless it appears
also that application for bail had been
made to the Judge of the Criminal
Court.
Col. CAN'T, for the petitioner, filed
an amended petition, showing that
the Attorney General and Judge of
the Criminal Court requested that the
application for bail should be heard
before some other Court, and the said
Attorney General and Judge are now
absent from the city, rendering it i'm
possible to have the matter heard be-
fore the Judge of said Criminal Court,
etc.
The motion to dismiss was argued
by Messrs. Beecher, Bullock and Sale
on behalf of the State, and by Col.
CAN'T for the petitioner.
The Court ruled that if it does not
appear on the face for the petition that
an application of bail was made in the
Criminal Court, it should be dismissed,
but the petitioner would be permitted
to file an amended petition, showing
why this has not been done.
After considerable argument by
counsel, the Court decided that the
case would be heard to-day, at 123
