At the decoration of soldiers
graves at Spring Grove cemetery,
Cincinnati, very touching scene
occurred. An aged German lady
appeared at one of the little mounds
and begged the policeman on duty
to permit her to pass to her hus-
bands grave. She sat down by the
same and burst into flood of tears,
for she was poor and had not even
a single flower to place upon the
sod that covered all that was dear to
her. But some of the committee Of
ladies observed her, and basket after
basket of the rarest and most beau
tiful flowers were brought, and fair
hands assisted her in her labor Of
love Eyes .'all unused to tie melt
ing mood were moistened at the
touching scenes, and that nameless
grave was fairly burdened with the
weight of the floral tribute rendered
by sympathizing hearts, Czeuelaad

A Fact 10 be known.

Our townsman, II. Spengler,
having in France a patrimony
which he wished to realize, made
to Rev. Paul Huber, a power of
attorney to receive the fund in
France. 1t was duly authenti-
Gated, and the certificate under
the great seal of Mississippi was
signed "Adelbert Ames, Bvt. Mai.
Gen. U. s. A. ProvI. Govr. of
Miss" The. document was pre-.
sented by Father Huber to the
French Consul at New Orleans.
After having partly written his
consular certificate, he observed
the above signature to the Gov
errors certificate, and refusing to
recognize the Provisional Cover
nor, he declined to give his official
certificate.
The consequence of this refusal
BY the officials of European Gov.
torecognize our military
Governor is, that it is impossible |
o authenticate such documents as
ire to be used there. The defect
'annot be remedied. and Father
Iuber's visit and the object of it,
re defeated.

While az Brandon, recently we be-
came somewhat acquainted with the
operations of this institution, under
the control Of Col. Joseph NJ. Jayne.
and learned that it had become quite
useful in aiding small farmers in max
Ing their crops, in affording exchange
for the merchants and a safe depository
tor those who have money to lend. 1t
has been In operation since April. 1896.
and has done a safe and profitable
business. 1t concentrates the idle cap
ital of the county, and is lent ont In
such sums as accommodate the largest
and most needy numbers of people.
We are glad to note the success of this.
and all other Institutions gotten up
and run by our own people.
The trustees are gentlemen of high
character, and the well-known char
acter of Col. Jayne, as a prompt and
reliable business man, with abundant
means to meet all demands, this insti-
tuition must continue to prosper, and
become more and more useful 10 the
community in which it is located

Though the reliance of Missls-
sippi for the acquisition of male
rial independence and wealth is
chiefly npon her Agricultural re-
sources, she is, by no means, de-
void of others. In the Northern
and Eortheasternsportions of the
State, iron ore is found /; the
sparseness and want of continuity
of the deposits will prevent it
ever being manufactured to a
great extent, yet it is not too
much to indulge the hope that
at no distant day we can chroni-
Gle the successful working of sew
eral iron mills in the State.
But as our State is dependent,
particularly, upon agriculture Tor
her resources, of these we should
speak first. Not only does the
| great staple, cotton, of which she
| produced nearly a third more
than any other State, last year,
grow luxuriantly, but SO does
corn, wheat, rice, and tobacco.
Here are too be found the fruits
of the extreme North, and those
of the extreme South. The .ap
pie and the fig /; the orange anc
the peach +; the cherry and the
plum. Every variety of grape
can be grown with but little
care and attention. While oul
gardens afford all kinds of vege
tables.
The great pine forests of thu
Southern and Southeastern cOun
ties, as yet almost untouched, ant
little cared for, contain within
themselves, abundant wealth t.
their owners and to the State.
In Tishomingo county there /
a white clay that will make I'M
queensware, and a rock which i
hard enough to be converted int
grind and whet stones, while tn
sand beds of the Pearl river ant
its tributaries are not excelled b.
the famous white sands ofSt. Gen
evive, Missouri, from which thu
Pittsburg glass factories draw
their supplies.
These, connected with our milo
climate, in which our farmer
know nothing of the necessities o
shelter for their cattle, swine anC
sheep in winter, convince us tina
with but a little energy and unity
Of action upon the part of oul
people, the State would again bt

in both branches Of the Missis.
siPpi Legislature and at one
time filled the Office of President
Of the Senate. His elevated
character, inhe1ible will, intevri.
ty Of purpose, and clear intellect
gave him large influence, and at
one time he came nigh receiving
the democratic nomination for
Governor of the State, when
nomination was equivalent to an
election. lie was a conspicuous

influence over the destinies OF the

1860. One by one these Romans

recent disaster, IS to admit that

troyed by fire. one day last week.
Not Welding to this great dlsas-
ter. however, Messrs. Power & Barks-
dale have secured the temporary use
of sufficient material to issue Inc
Clarion until new office can be fitted
m which vii be done as speedily as
possible. We hope the people OF Mis-
sissippi will come to the aid of Messrs.
Power & Barksdale, in this their hour
of need. The Clarion has been faith
full. able, and unfinching supporter
of the rights and interests Of our State,
and the people in whose behalf 1t has
so earnestly labored, owe it debt OF
gratitude which the torch of the in
cendiary has given them the opportu-
nity, in some measure, of repaying.-
Make up clubs in every neighborhood

Clarion is, in point of talent and typo
graphical execution, equal TO the best
papers published at the North, and It's
proprietors are identified by birth
education, and interest with the future
