Death Of Prof. Morse.

Prof. s. F. B. Morse, the inventor
Of the electric telegraph, died in
New York on Tuesday evening, the
I'd inst, of paralysis. Thus passes
away the greatest man of the Nine
teenth Century. Some days since
the electric current brought us the
intelligence that he had been strick
en- down by the terrible paralysis,
and although we hoped for the best,
we were not unprepared for the an
nOuncement that he had succumbed
to the destroyer and passed into the
realms of eternity. 1t is useless for
us to attempt to enumerate the hen
efits conferred upon the human race
Dy this remai kable man. That is
the historians task, and when It is
finished no brighter name will shine
in the records of this century than
that of Prof. Morse. Kings have III
vaded and OverthrOwn empires, gen
erals fought and won bloody battles
and established republics and nations
yet not one can claim equal honor
with he, who, by the permission OF
the Almighty, subdued the lightning
aud made it to work his pleasure.
He has passed through the shadow
may his soul rest in peace and his
memory be bright unto the end of
time!

YAZoO CITY, April 5, 1872.
Weather continues cold and rainy.
Prospects are not encouraging in
this country. Farmers are not done
breaking up corn land yet, and the
majority are not half through with
their cotton land. There was a ten
dency to plant largely in cotton ear.
ly in the season, but the high price
of corn Isl 80 per busheD in the
county now, has changed the minds
of most farmers in this section. All
the sensible ones are beginning to
realize that it is the interest of the
South not to make over three or
three and a quarter million of bales
and live more at home.
Cotton is very scarce through the
country, most of that going forward
now is from warehouses, and is also
getting scarce.

William Cullen Bryant.

The presence of this venerable
gentleman in New Orleans render y
appropriate a brief sketch of his
life.
Mr.. Bryant was born at Cum
mingtOn, Hampshire county, Massa
chusetts on the Sd November, 1884;
and IS consequently now in his
seventy eight year. In 1910 he he
came a student at Williams Col
;ege. He was specially noted there
for his proficiency in the study OF
languages. In 1912 he entered on
the study of The law; was admitted
! to the bar in 1915; and practiced
the profession for several years.
1t was not, however, as lawyer
that Mr.. Bryant was TO achIeye
fame. We are told that at the early
age of thirteen he wrote Two poems,
one of them political satire. which
was printed ini 1908. In 1916, one
year after being admitted TO the
bar, and when in his twenty-secOnd
year, he published what has gener-
ally been considered his finest poet
ical effort "ThanatOpsis." This
beautiful poem at once set the seal
upon his literary reputation. whilst,
at the same time, establishing so
high a standard of excellence as
made it Il dangerous venture for
the author to again enter the arena,
as it were against himself.
In a few years, lie published a
volume of poems, in which, among
other fine metrical essays, appeared
the Iii dactIc poem of "The Ages
In 1921, or hereabouts, Mr.. Bry-
ant married. In 1925, he took up
his sojourn in New York and in
1896, he entered upon the Journal
istic profession as one of the editors
OF that high toned paper, the New
York Ereming Post, connection
department of the Post has always
been one Of its most popular tea-
lures; and Mr.. Bryant's taste and
skill long since made that difficult
department of daily paper, a stand
ard of reference and record.
Mr.. Bryant has several times Wis
tied Europe, and in 1S49 he travelled
in Egypt and Syria. His rrminis-
cences of travel have been publish
ed in book form, under the title of
''Letters of Traveller"
Mr.. Bryant has just arrived here,
after a short trip from New York to
Havana and the city of Mexico.
How long he will remain in the
Crescent City we are not informed /;
but it would be q delicate and an
appropriate compliment to this dis
tinguished American, for the bar,
the rress and the litterateurs of
New Orleans to tender him in some
formal way, a testimonial worthy of
his lifelong and honored connection
with the bar, the press and the lit
erature of America.-Picayune.

Tn, Cincinnati Convention.

A Washington special dispatch
to the Cincinnati Times and ChrOn-
icie, dated April 10th, announces
that the Liberal Republicans and
the Democrats have agreed OH II
ticket to be advocated before the
Cincinnati Convention. The ticket
is to be composed of Republicans,
and this concession is made by Pen
dleton, Morgan and Voorhees,. The
Memphis Ardianche, IA Journal favor
able to the movement, doubts the
correctness of the information, but
adds g the West is fully equal to
the political emergency, and West
ern politicians are forced by public
opinion to advance from behind the
di;ch into the open field. The fact
that these gentlemen make the con-
cession, puts a Iuietus on the efforts
of those who insist on a straight
Democratic ticket and will cause a
dreadful gushing of bitter invective
from the moss covered folks. And
yet we admonish them, that if Pen
dieton and Morgan can accept the
situation, certainly they can. So
we say, come up to the platform and
and programme advocated by the
Aralanche. Davis and Curtin make
a ticket which in weight is rather
heavy. Davis weighs 315 pounds
and Curtin perhaps draws 200. But
it is better to have the ticket too
heavy than to have it too thin.
