Captain Richard 7. English died this
morning at the residence of his sister,
No. iss Vance street. Captain English
was, for years previous TO his late illness,
the well known aud able river reporter
Of the Memphis Appeal. from which
journal he was forced TO retire some
months since owing to bis declining
health. Il is needless 90 state that a
more noble-hearted or generous man than
Dick English did not exist. As in news
usper life, SO in the outer world, Captain
English had host of attached friends,
who admired him for his gentlemanly
hearing and noble tERits Of character
"None knew him but 70 love him,
. None named him but 20 praise.
Consumption, the fearful destroyer of
human life, was the disease beneath
which ftsiOar much admired journalistic
brother. Peace 70 his ashes In after

Useless Legislation.

Old Blackstone says some of
lenses are wrongin themselves
and others are wong because
prohibited by law. OF the
latter class of offenses Is few
kinds should be made as posi-
BILE. Public policy should i'm
peratively demand their con-
struction before the legislature
should act. Even if the per-
mission Of certain acts was
clearly contrary to the public
policy, the Legislature should
make another inquiry, to be
decided in the affirmative,
which is, Can a prohibitory stat
ute, in regard to the matter,
be executed? There is no rea-
son or sense in filling the Stat
ute book with laws, never to be
executed but in exceptional in
stances. They only become
traps for the unwary, to be TAX
en- advantage Of by ones enc
mics to crafty revenge. For
instance, it is notorious that
two out Of every three men
have pocket pistols, which at
times they carry concealed. In
public or private nearly every
one will freely show his weap-
on, SO little afraid is he Of pros
ecution. A hundred instances
of carrying concealed weap-
ons may be generally known,
and out of that number per-
haps only one Will be prosecu-
ted. And this prosecution will
take place only 80 crafty pri-
vate pique. Does a man but
repel an aggression by drawing
a weapon he viii be in danger
from the law, for his opponent
may very likely prosecute. The
present law against concealed
weapons cannot be executed,
and for that reason, ifno other,
should be repealed.

Constables.

How difficult it is to get
competent persons to hold
many of the minor Offices
The office of constable is i'm
portant and yet few will con-
sent to hold it. The reason of
this is because It's emolumentS
are so small and but little hon
or is attached to ii. To make
it more honorable it would be
only necessary to confer addi-
tional duties on it, duties nee
essary to be performed for the
benefit of the Ward. The plan
lately adopted by the Legisla-
ture of making each Ward a
school District is a very good
one. Now let the Police Juror,
the Squire. the Constable and
perhaps one or two others form
the board OF Ward School Di-
rectors and You will have an
additional duty conferred on the
Constable which would make
the position more desirable.
Our Governor has been, of
late, giving regular commits
sions to the constables. This is
as it should be, but we doubt if
it is legally necessary; in other
words, it is doubtful if the con-
stable is a commissioned off,
Ger. The Legislature should
do away with the doubt by an
act formally making him COM
missioned officer.
If we would keep up with
civilization we would adopt
theregistry of births and deaths.
Every birth and death occurring
in a Ward should be registered
by some officer, and the consta-
BILE would be the most proper
one.
These ideas are thrown out
solely for the country parishes

A QUEER PAsTDIE.-Prison-
ers are often put to strange ex-
pedients in order to relieve, in
some degree, the tedium of
confinement. We have often
heard of their making body lice
fight, and Of their betting on
such fights. But the novel use
to which those troublesome
creatures were put, as detailed
in the following anecdote,
beats anything Of the sort we
ever heard.
A friend Of ours was put, at
one time during the war, to
guard Federal prisoners. A
preacher on the Southern side
held forth to them one day.
Several of the prisoners who
had prepared themselves with
small reed blow guns, were
seen to put the little animals,
a few at a time, in the reeds
and, while appearing very in
tent on the discourse, blow
them upon the preacher. The
preacher left with a supply of
a score or two, and the guards
who discovered the trick were
immensely tickled. But by
eventide the guards laughter
was changed to execrations,
for they began to be sensible
that the Yankees had played
the same trick on them.
