JACKSON, May /, 1870.

The Senate Of the old State of Mis-
sissippi is composed of thirty-two
members, and four of this number
are negroos-black astho sable kings
of Africa, before whom it is said their
subjects do no dare to appear (under
penalty christianity losing their headsJ
in any but full court dress-consisting
Of straw hat and earrings.
Tho House Of Represehtivcs-ohe
hundred and seven members - is
graced with thirty-two negroes. The
Door Keeper, and Pages are nearly
all colored, and they do not stand on
fancy shades, but seem to delight in
the darkest of black. Mr.. Lynch,
Secretary Of State, is also a colorcd
gentleman.
Many of these negroes are intclli
gent looking, and a few OF them pos
sibIy may be in possession Of brains
sufficient to make laws for tie gov
ernment of an intelligent people, but
I think that as a rule they are tools
In the hands Of others, and do not
possess Judgment enough to act in the
capacity Of law makers.

Not for Joe.

A yotng man living down town, with
out the fear of his sweetheart's parents be-
fore his eyes, undertook to "hOOk" the OBJ
ject of his alteration from a second-stUry
window in her fathers house, on Friday
night last The old man hearing the
Ufuss" went out in his night-clOthes, look
ing like the Ghost of "Hamlet," and es-
pied Joe going up the ladder. The old
man caught hold of the foot of the ladder
and let something drop. 1t was joe
Grabbing him by the collar, he lifted
him out of his clothes, after which he took
him into the house and IeCtured him as
follows:
"LoOk here, you eussed sneak, whenev-
er you go and learn decent trade, and
kin make enough of money to pay house
rent, an raise family, you kin come
here without ladder, walk in the front
door an marry my darter, an not till
then. Dye hear9" And the ferOcious
old man led Joe out of the house, and told
him to git"
The young lady has signified her will
ingness to wait for Joe. If any of the
proprietors of our manufactures are call
ed upon tomorrow by young man who
wants to learn Il trade, take him iu-thats s
Joe. Joe's willing and the girls waiting.

Eat and lean peonle.

It is a striking fact that most people
want to weigh more than they do, and
measure their health by their weight, as if
a man were a pig, valuable in proportion
to his heaviness. The racer IS not fat, the
plow horse has but a moderate amount Of
flesh. Heavy men are not those which ex-
perienced contractors employ to dig rail
roads and dig bitches. Thin men the
world over, are the men for work ; for en-
durance, they are wiry and hardy; thin
people live the longest the truth is, fat is
disease, and as proof, fat people are never
well day at a time,-aud are not suited
for hard work. Still there is medium
between being as fat as butter ball and as
thin and juiceless as a rail. For mere
looks, a moderate rotundity is most desir-
able, to have enough flesh to cover all
anguIarities. To accomplish this in the
shortest time man. should work but lit
tie, sleep a great part of the time, allow
nothing to worry him, keep always in a
Joyous, laughing mood, and live chiefly
on albuminates, such as boiled cracked
wheat, and rye, and oats, and corn, and
barley, with sweet milk, and butUermilk,
and meats. Sugar is the best fattener

AS we approach Maysville the
country becomes more broken and
hilly, the broad meadows, the gentle
sweIls, the beautiful sugar groves,
gradually disappear, and in their
place gently sloping hills, at first, then
hills high and steep, rocky and pre-
cipitous. At one point there Is a
rocky promontory on the left of the
road. The cliff rises abruptly from
the pike to the height of 500 feet, on
the summit of which there is a pla-
teau covered with sugar, buckeye,
hickory, and a rich underground of
flowers and shrubs. On the right, the
bright, sparkling waters of "Lime-
stone" go FLASHING and dashing over
the rocky bed. The scene for the last
three miles was Of the most interesting
character. AS the bills rise on both
sides of the road, grand and lofty, the
neat little cottages, embOwered in
shrubs and flowers; the lively green
forests upon the hiIl-sides, the beauti-
full wild flowers, the deep gorges, with
their tangled underground, the storm
torn crags, the high peaks, the bare
and precipitous cliffs, lit up in rich
and mellow hues by the rays of the
setting sun, all presented a scene long
to be remembered. ROLLO.

Absence from ScnOOE-Its EV1AB,
The Massachusetts Teacher says:
l. If boy learns to feel that he
may leave his duties as scholar for trif-
ling causes, for causes equally trivial
he will leave his business when a man.
2. The time of the teacher and the
whole school is wasted while this alb
sence is being recorded.
8. The teachers time is wasted in
recording the delinquent's excuse when
he returns to the school.
He interrupts the exercises of the
teacher in some part of the school in
finding the places at which his various
lessons commence.
5. He has lost the lesson recited
yesterday, and does not understand
that portion of to. days lesson which
depends upon that of yesterday; and
such dependence usually exists.
g.. The teachers time and patience
are taxed in repeating to him the in
structions of yesterday; which, how
ever, for want of study he does not
clearly appreciate.
z. The rest of the class are deprived
of the instruction of their teacher
while he is teaching the delinquent.
s. The progress of the rest of the
class is checked, and their ambition
curbed, by waiting for the tardy de-
Ilinquent.
9. The pride of the class is wound
ed, and their interest in their studies
abated, by the conduct of the alb
sentee.
10. The regulations both of teacn-
l'er and scholar suffer, upon days OF
public examination, by failures which
are chargeable to the absence and not
to the instruction.
II. The means generously prOvi-
ded for the education Of the delinquent
are wrongfully, wasted;
II. He sets a pernicious example
for the rest of the school, and usually
does actual mischief while absent.
