An Overdose OF Watson.

While the Hon. John W. G. Wat
son, of Holly Springs is very re-
spectacle old gentleman, it does ap-
pear to us that the convention OF
ednesdsy gave us something too
much" Of Watson. First, we had
Mr.. Watson tor temporary Presi-
dent Of the convention. Second,
we had Mr.. Watson for permanent
President of the convention, and
third, we had Mr.. Watson for dele,
gate from the State at large to the
Baltimore convention! We humbly
submit that, as all the brains and
character OF the State are not owned
by John W. G. Watson, the convcn>
ton rather "crowded the mourners."
lie ought to have been made chair
man OF the executive committee,
elector for the State at large, and
elector in four of the six congress
sional districts, and then, when the
people might not have had Watson
on the blalu, they would surely have
had a surcharge Of Watson on thu
stomach Vicksburg Herald.
Such things will happen some'
times in the best regulated conven.

He Could be Trusted.

Alfred was missing one night
about sunset. Mother was getting
anxious, for she always wished him
to be homo early. A neighbor,
coming in, said a number OF boys
had gone to the river to swim, aud
be thought Alfred was safe enough
to be with them.
"No," said the mother, "he prom>
ised me he would not 20 there with
out my leave, and he dipdys keeps
his word. lie never told me a lie.'
But seven O'Clock came, then
eight, and mother was still watching
and listening for the step of Alfred I;
but it was half.past eight before his
merry shout and whistle were heard,
when he ran into the gate.
"Confess now," said the neighbor,
"that you have been to the river with
the other boys, and so kept away till
late"
How the boys eyes flashed, and
the crimson mounted to his cheeks
"No, SIR l told my mother !

leave, and do you think l nouid teRa

COWS which had strayed in the wood,
and did not think ! should be so

James, coming upthe street just
then, came in to tell US che was
afraid we had been alarmed they
had been so far in the wood it made
them late in getting home"
The neighbor, turning to the
mother as he took his hat to 90
home, said, 81 think there is com.
fort in store for you, madam. Such
boy as that will make noble man. y

The Oldest Inhabilani.

Several years ago there was such
tremendous freshet on the Illinois
river that il was for a long time re.
terred to rs the 3" food During a
law suit in Peoria an old man, named
Adam, living ia a little hamlet on
the river known as Paradise, was ex-
amined as q witness.
" What Ia your name?' p was the
frat question asked him.
Adam, SIR" said he.
/" Your name is Adam, is Il!
Well, where do you livei"
I" In Paradise, sir"
"Oh, your name is Adam and you
live in Paradise, do youi Well,
how long have you lived there?"
" Ever since the food, sir" re-
piled tho simple old man, whose
words were drowned in u roar OF
laughter, in which the court, jury,
counsel aud spectators all joined.

A few days before the entrance Of
the Prussian, a young woman Of
Strasburg gave birth to daughter.
She had the happy thought TO give
her as q christian name--a singular
one: "FRANcEw Now, when that
child passes on the Broglie in her
nurses arms, people draw near,
they contend tor her, they kiss her
passionately, saying to her, "Francs,
my poor France, my dear France; |;
how / love theeT' That gives oc-
cason to some minor riots on the
Broglie. A Prussirn officer, q few
days ago, was taken with an angry
fit, seeing this scandal. "rhis," he
cried, "is a silly joke; we shall put
a stop to 1t. Go away, 60 away
and the BOBBY sought to dispcrse the
group Of ladies' who were contend
ing for the "little France" But
Madame L. calmly said to the officer,
"Go away yourself, and turn your
steps to the Mayors office, consult
the registers and you will see that
this child is named France. We
love it with all our hearts; and we
kiss it as we love it" The Prussian
officer went off muttering, and the
kisses were again showered upon
the bead of the child.
A few days ago, Madame J. B., a
lady Of Stasburg, was greatly as.
tonished to see her friends pass by
without saluting her. Having made
inquiries she learned that her hus.
baad had just decided in favor Of
German nationality. Not consid
cring the fact that she possesses
personally no fortune, she leaves the
conjugal domicil after having sd>
dressed the following letter OF condo
lence to her old friends:
madame }. b., widow, has the
honor to notify you of the volunta-
ry loss which she has just suffered
in the person Of her husband. Pray
for him."

Judge Hill Of the Federal Court,
has issued very proper order, in
tended TO diminish the number Of
frivolous and vexatious arrests By
bis commissioners and Mashals.
He has directed that thereafter a,
U. 8. Commissioner will issue his
warrant for the arrest Of any prison-
or, Except in extreme c,scs,) until
be shall have obtained the consent
thereto Of the U. 8. District Attor-
ney." In the future, then, W shall
know who Is responsible for the ar
rest of citizens under Federal an-
thority. We feel that our people
have had an additional safeguard
thrown around their persons and
liberty.
There are still other abuses, how.
ever, to be corrected. How is it that
citizens are arrested in Chickasaw
or Bolivar counties, and brought to
this place o. Oxford Tor examination,
or before they are allowed to give
bail 7
1t is one Of tho grievances recitsd
in the Declaration Of Independence,

TO them, and to the treasury of the

own counties for all preliminary pro-
ccedings, when charged with !
breach Of Federal law. This course
would save trouble and expense to
citizens, and would gseatly tighten
the drain upon the United States
treasury. II may Be, however, that
it would not put the same amount of
money in the pockets Of marshals
and their deputies. Rctrenchment

Wisdom.

A mans good breeding Is the best
security against other peoples i'll
manners. lie who reforms himself
has done more toward reforming
the community than q crowd Of
noisy, impotent, sslfappointed pa
tri0ts.
CHARITY.-Shakspeare's beautiful
definition of this chief among human
virtues is, "gently to hear, kindly to
judge
To things which you bear with
impatience you should accustom
yourself, and by habit you will bear
them well.
Whosoever is afraid of submitting
any question, civil or religious, to
the test of free discussion, is more
in love with his own opinion than
with truth.
Not he who rides through conquered city''
gate,
At head Of blazoned hosts, and to the sound
OF victor's trumpets in full pomp and state
Ofwsr, the utmost pitch has dreamed OF
found
To which the thrill Of triumph can be wound
Not be who by nations vast acclaim
Issndden sought and singled out alone,
And, while the people madly shou. his name,
Witbouta conscious purpose Of bis own
ID swung and lifted to the nations throne
But be who has all singl e-hsnded stood,
With foes invisible on every side,
And, unsuspected Of the multitude,
The force Of fate itself has dared, defied.
And conquered silently
An, that soul know
In what white heat the blood Of triumph
glows
Vice at the beginning is oil bright
and 80 long as wicked men arr
prosperous they have no lack o
friends; but when the sun of theil
prosperity sets, as it will sooner Of
later, and it begins to be dark, they
become separated one from anothel
and find themselves all at once with
out friends. Nothing in this worlc
is SO heartless as men VINO have hat
fellowship in vice together. Motives
Of selfshness unite them, and whel
these tail they fall asunder.
Look upward and onward
We learn to climb by keeping our eyes,
Not on the past the valleys that lie
Behind,--but on the mountains that
Rise before u.s.

THE TAMMANY JUDICIAL TICKET.

The Conference Committee Took nm I'M
formal Vote Last Night on tho Names
OF the Candidates To BE Proposed to the
COnventlOn-Thc Result.
The Conference Committee OF the Tammany Ju-
dietary Convention held another meeting last even-
Ing, and, after long and desultory discussion, de-
cided IN an informal way to present the following
ticket for the approval of the Convention, pro-
vided the other organizations they have already
conferred with do not at the last meeting OF the
committee, to be held tonight, insist upon having
1t changed
For Supreme Court-James II. Leonard.
For District Attorney-Wheeler II. Pecknam.
For City Judge-Gunning 8. Bedford.
For Superior C0urt-Judge Spenser.
There is no likelihood that this ticket will be
changed In any respect at the instgation OF out
side organizations. The informal vote taken
upon this ticket was unanimous. Judge Spen-
cer who was one Of the committee, said
he was willing to sacrifice any personal
ambition he might have to serve the party, and
that he would In no wise stand In the way OF any
good candidate who might be suggested for the
Superior Court The committee, however. insisted
upon his name being placed on the ticket.
