a "Life of Jefferson Davis" The
n. Y. San has received some adj
vanced sheets, and thus speaks of
their contents:
"They are written with the we'll
known vigOr of the author and prove
that the work will form a contribu-
ton of extraordinary value to the
history Of the rebellion. Among the
facts here revealed for the first time
is the statement that secret revolu-

met at Washington, in one of the
rooms of the Capitol, on the night of
January 5, 1861, aud formed an or
ganization which took control of all
political and military operations in
the South, dictated the plan of seiz-
ing forts, arsenals, and custom
houses, and did the whole work of
revolution, while they were every
day in their accustomed seats III the
Senate at Washington. This body
appointed an executive committee of
three, one of whom was Jefferson
Davis, through which they carried
out the schemes they had planned.

Stopping the Paper.

The following anecdOte of the late
Mr.. Swain from the Philadelphia
Press, is not without its moral in other
ATTITUDES than Pennsylvania:
Many years ago, Mr.. Swain, then
editor of the Public Ledger, was hail
ed at the corner of Eighteenth aud
Chestnut streets by q very excited
individual, who informed him, in the
most emphatic terms, | have stopp-
ed your paper, sir" and proceeded
to explain the why and wherefore,
all the time gestiCnlating Wildly.
" My gracious, sir, you don't say so.
Come with me to the office, and let
us sec if we cannot remedy the mat
ter. 1t grieves me that any one
should stop my paper" Down Chest
nut street to Third the two proceed
ed. Arriving at the Office, Mr.. Swain
said, " Why, my dear sir, everything
seems to be going on as usual &;
thought yOu had stopped my paper
Then aud there the excited gentle
man, whom the long walk had by
the way had partly gcOlcd, said that
he bad stopped taking his one copy
of the Lcdgcr Mr.. Swain was pro
fuse in his apologies for having mis-
understood the meaning of his late
subscribers words. and regretted
that he had given him thetramp from
Eighteenth street to Third, down
Chestnut. The gentleman went on
his way home, wiser IF not a better
man, marveling over the stupidity
of editors in general, and of Mr.Swain
III particular. Before he left, howe
yer, he ordered that the Lciqer be
still sent to his address.

For Constipation Of the Bowels.

This is one of the most trouble
some of all complaints. and if allow
ed to become confirmed, often leads
to most serious consequences. 1t
can never be cured by pills or other
medicines taken into the stomach.
On the contrary, the tendency of
these things is inevitable to make it
worse. The only permanent cure is a
proper system of diet and regimen,
of which | shall speak hereafter. But
if not cured, all dangerous conse-
quences may be avoided, and imme-
diate relief may be obtained. by u.s.
ing injections. The best instrument
for this purpose is the common sy-
ringe. For injections, pure water
in many cases will answer. Throw
up as much as to make the stomach
feel little uncOu Portable, and if one
injection does not answer, try anO-
other, and even a third. But there
are many cases in which there is
something required to stimulate and
relax the system, and for this pur-
pose, nothing is superior to the pre-

avoided. Still, no bad effects need
be apprehended from it; for, upon
the whole, it has a very soothing and
Strengthening tendency it is very
excellent remedy to be used in case
of sudden attacks of sickness. The
bowels are, in this way, thoroughly
emptied i'll a few minutes. 1t will

slightly, hat this soon passes off
however, to avoid this altogether
the quantity of lobelia and Cayenne

of pulyerized lobelia, and one quarter
of an ounce of gum myrrh pulverized;

the advantages of having free of ex
pense the material for their fences
and houses, as well as a supply of
fuel.
The statement that the present
settlers there do not want Northern
men to come among them to settle,
we are convinced has no foundation
in fact. Probably they do not care
to have more men CUffe for the pur-
pose of engaging in politics as bust
ness but we ferl sure, Judging from
the manner in which we were re

that they wOuld be well and kindly

Working for the Home Press"

Last year we endeavOred to i'm
press upon the Merchants the fact
that they owed it as a duty to their
in their behalf, with the wholesale
trade of the great market cities,
when making their purchases. \
single suggestion from large buyer
would always assure to his " Home
Journal" the advertising patronage
of the merchant who sup plied him,
and this patronage would be reflected
from the columns of the interior
press, in the way of enlargement and
a prosperity that would do much to
increase the trade of the town in
which his goods are to be offered,
and keep it prominent before the
people. Our article was not in the
slightest degree needed at home, but
we are glad to know that it attracted
attention elsewhere, and that the
merchants of other Mississippi cities
acted upon the suggestion, to the
great profit of valued contemporaries.
The Merchants of Enterprise,
Osyka, Holly Springs, Oxford, and
Grenada, make it point of business
house they purchase from, for their
| local paper and the result is, that
those journals are enjoy ing a won.
derlul degree of prosperity. One
merchant of Summit, so says the
Times. has influenced over 5000
worth of Northern Advertising to its
columns, and obtained $50 worth of
foreign subscriptions for it, and this
is done without any expense what
ever to solicitor. Such men as that

years, we cannot chronicle or recall
II single instance, in which an effort

by a merchant of Aberdeen, or a

We are well aware that the mer
