We vese deeply pained to learn few days
ago of the death Of our esteemed young friend,
Mir. lsEHJAMIR koGkRs Hail. who departed
this life OH the 18th ii.st., ut the residence of
Dr. c. n. smith. ut Franklin, La, iu the I'D
year OF his aye.
Only g short ti'u~ ago. be Wa. here on o visit
to hia relatives residing iu this neighborhood,
and for purposes Of recreation from his artluous
duties in one Of tue large commercial houses Of
the city. And n"w he is NO moro lin the
midst Of life We are In DEATH
The deceased was q native of Mobile, where
lie was educafed and resided ut the outbreak Of
our late disas,r ruus revelation, and was among
the e%rliess of that Spartan body of Southern
youth who, iu spirit Of undying devotion to
their oppressed country, dedicated themselves
to it's service.
Long. long after that ignoble spirit Of Federal
hate aud revenge towards fallen foe, which
has virtually Hmade them no lcss enamies in
peace than in war, shall hsve died ont, the menu
ury Of their dec.la Of valor will impesishably
live Oh. Tho early b~ttleraelds Of the war cx-
hibited the bloody seenes Of their triaupiss-
those terrible onsets which bore down all be-
fore them In cue rcsissess dash Of their chaxgee.

and both were In q few hours reduced to ashes,
despite tho almost supcrhuman efforts Of the
firemcn and citizens to arrest the progress of the
devouring element. The engine, although some
what tardy in making its appea rance, rendered
valuable assistance, and the white and coloicd
citizens seemed to vie with each other la their
luudable efforts to prevent the spread Of the
flames. Fortunately, there was scarcely any
wind; had it been otherwise tho disaster would
undoubtedly have been much greater.
The fire is attributed to accident, caused by
defective chimney, as it appears to have origi
mated in the garret. The loss 10 estimated ut

THE HOMELESS.

Ore of the knotty and irrepressible ques-
ticns Of the hour, affecting the well being of
the English society. and particularly the
aristocracy, is, how to dispose Of. or control
the constantly increasing thirty millions of
landless, homeless. poor. 1t is true many of
these have dwelling places, temporary homes,
but the heart does not entwine around them,
as thing to sbeautify and cherish; but
they regard them as kind of way stations,
the property of others, and soon TO fall into
ether hands while they must pass on they
Know not where. This state Of uncertainty
ansettles the whole man. No home of their
own to-day, after years of exhansting toll
no premise 81 one tomorrow.
What wonder that the people are restless
and clamorous; that strikes and mobs FREE
qaently occur, and that trades union are the
order of the dayf e It is by this system of
self protection that the masses are able to
subsist; and even then pubic charity often
becomes necessity. The great mass of the
people feel no interest In the country, even
though it y the 1sa,a oA tHeiF birth. for they.
have nethi6gac hook forward to but a GER
tainty Of increasing want with Increasing
numbers. Whine the soil is becoming grad
ually absorbed by the few, discomfort and
outspoken dennnciations are heard through
out the land. Hyde Park and Phoenix Park
make common cause. =, ii
