Doctor E4ston will please accep, on,
heartfelt thanks for the very kind present
made to us as Christmas gift en- the 25.h
OF Dec. last, By sending his bill against US
for medical services, receipted in full. And
also Ter the constant care and attention
which he devoted TO cur deceased children
during their last sickness At the same
time We came, help declaring, tia, Dr.
Esston is entirely mistaken, when he states
In The PILOT that our first boy who died
would certainly have recovered, had he not
arisen from bis BID, when no one was pres
ent, and gone into a cold ,uncarpeted room,
barcfooted and unclad except his night
dress, which threw him into a relapse. We
must state, that that boy never during his
sickness was left alone, that he left his bed
Saturday morning before he was seriously
sick, but not the room as Mrs W. saw lin
from the kitchen aud directly put lin to
bed again Dr. Easton never said word
about relapse, but on the contrary he
found the boy!beter on Sunday morning; in
the night from Sunday to Monday the boy
was very sick, but in the morning he de
c!ared him better; at noon he said the re-
spiratory organs were affected in the
evening the boy was dead.
1t is very painful for US to have to make
this statement, bat still it is more painful
t. be charged publicly with negligence dur
ing the severe late trials with our children
None but parents who have met with losses
similar to ours, can duly appreciate our
feelings. A, We cannot read the paner ID
English, We knew nothing of DR.. Easton s
communication until last week, which is the
reason Of answering the same at SO late
a date.

A Murderer Buried Alive.

The Memphis (Tenn) AcaIanch of
Aug. II, says: Tho officers of the
steamer Check tell Of the lynching Of
Beck, who is said to have murdered
Mr.. and Mrs. Goode, on Favorite Island
two mouths ago. Beck was in Austin
Mss Jail, where he had been placed
by the sheriff of Tunica county, who
had brought him from Indiana few
days ago. Ga Wednesday morning a
large number of men gathered around
the Jail in Austin, took tho prisoner
out by force, brought him down to the
rivers edge, placed him in a skiif, and
rowed him up tho river To Favoritc
Island, and hanged him to a trec over
the spot where tho aged Goodies fell
beneath tho murdcrer's axe some two
months before. A proper investiga-
tion would have accomplished all this
if the man was guilty. When will
people learn to have confidence in and
respect for the law Another ac-
court, from what appears to be n reli-
able source, says that there was no
lynchiug, properly SO called, but that
the men took Beck out Of Jail, named
a feet Of skiils, as sort Of guard,
aud tho prisoner was rowed across the
river by tho waning light Of the moon
on "Wednesday morning about three
o clock, to a sand.bar on the Arkansas
Shore. and there, under the long shad'
ows of the trees, the crowd gathered
around their victim aud feasted their
drupkca eyes upon bis pallil face, trem.
bling lips and tottering limbs, while
curses and blasphemies disturbed the
quietude of the morniug air. AS the
first gray stroaks OF dawn shot upward
from the eastern sky, grave was
scooped out of the sand by lot Of men
who appeared at that moment, more
like demons than human beings
Binding tho wretcb's hands and feet
together, they threw him into the hole.
Two or three Of the stoutest stood
upon his body while the hole was being
filled up, lifting their feet every now
and then to keep on a level with the
rising sand. As tho sand went in
those men actually danced upon the
smothering victim beneath, and the
whole crowd broke out in an unoarthly
song. At length, whsn u the hole was
filed up and heaped over, a "stag
dance was improvised. and the twenty
vigalanters carried on the revel uptil
the sun rose above the horizon, whom
they hurried to their skiffs and disap-
psared up and down the river along the
Mississippi shore.

An Arkansas Fathers Advice
10 his son.

Bob. you are about leaving home
for strange parts. You arc going to
throw me out Of the game aud 90 it
alone. The odds ara agin you, Bob (;
remember that industry and perscve-
rance are the winning cards, as they
are the "bowcrs" Book learning, aud
all that sort Of thing, will do to till up
with, like small trumps, but you must
have the bowers to back them, or they
amt worth shucks. lf luck is agin
you pretty strong, don't cry aud look
like sick chicken on rainy day, but
bold up your hand and make believe
you are flush of trumps, and they wont
play so hard agin you. I've lived
and Travelled around some, Bob, and
and I've found out that as soon as folks
thought you held weak hand, they'd
all buck asin you strong. So when
you're sorlr weak, keep bold look
but play cautious be satisfie with II
poiut. Many's tho hand I've seen 'em
cuohro cause they played for too much,
Keep your eyes we'll skinned, Bob (;
don't let them mig you rccollect 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 tho acc
won't save you; for there's certain -
be miss deal' or something wrong
And another thing, Bob. (this was
spoken in low tonc), don't so too
much on tho women; queens is kinder
poor cards, the more you have of them
the worse for you you might have
three and nary trump. ! don't Say
discard 'em all ifyou get hold OF one
that is trump it's all good, and there's
sartin to be one out Of four. And,
above all, Bob, bo honest; never take
a mans trick wot don't belong TO you,
nor slip cards or uig for then you cau't
look your man in the lace, and when
that's the case there's I'D fun in the

The SECRET OF IT.-An Old farmer
being asked why his boys stayed ut
home when others did not, replied
that it was owing to the fact that he
always tried to make home pleasant
to them. He furnished them with
useful aud attractive reading and
when night comes, and tho days labor
is ended, instead Of running with other
boys to the railway station aud adjoin
ing towns, they gather around the
great lamp, aud become absorbed in
their books and papers. His boys were
still at home when the eldest boy was
twenty-one, while those who were
furnished with no reading at home
sought city life and city dissipation as
soon rs they were seventeen or eighteen
All will do we'll TO heed this testimony
of q farmer who has known how hard
to struggle for footing on q free soil
without capital is, and how valuable
and comparatively cheap arc the aids
which good reading brings TO him. IL
this age Of general intelligence, the
mind must be catered TO aud books snd
papers furnished and not only this
but in this age Of cheap and artistic
chromoa, pictures can shs b bvosght
