Handshnrn, Denlocrnt -.

The HandsbOro' Democrat says:
The foreign lumber trade is still carried
on by the Pascagoula and Dog River mills
and we learn the demand for lumber is in
creasing The mills about Moss Point seem
to be turning out daily an immense amount
of frst-class lumber, which is disposed of at
the mills for fair price for the foreign
trade. But little is sent to the New Orleans
market, ON account of the low price paid
there. Besides, the lumber business there,
seems to be considerable done in the mer-
camille line. Well-flled stores and shops
are numerous along the sawdust avenue
from Hand & Blumer's foundry to Randall's
Ferry, and they are all doing some busi-
ness.
The Moss Point country is in a flourishing
condition, and when the branch road from
East PaseagOula is completed it will then
be the great mart of the world for lumber.
1t would not astOnish us in the least if, at
not some not far distant day, we should see
this branch road in operation, for no point
In the South can boast of more liberal, pub
lie spirited and enterprising citizens than
are to be found at Moss Point and East Pas
cagoula, and in our Judgment no enterprise
or undertaking would tend more to develop
the resources and build up that Dog River
country than this new project.

| STATIoNHoUsE SCENEs.-This writer at
one or two o'clock in the morning regularly
visits the first precinct statiOnhonse, 10
learn the news and see life in the rough.
A few nights since raid had been made
| on the purlieus OF Dryades street. One
! cell was full Of women, about twenty-five
in number, young and middle-aged, white,
colored and mixed, all lost to shame, some
cursing, some employing the most obscene
anguage, and none sleeping. In the next
cell one pleasant-lOoking man called this
reporter by name, and asked his influence
to procure a release. He was taken in
slightly drunk, and his poor wife, at home
in the suburbs of the city, would be ter
ribly distressed at his absence. 1t was the
first time this young man had been taken
in, and he hoped it would be the last
At another time the night clerk of the
station called the reporters attention to
the miscellaneous crowd of twenty or thirty
women who had been picked up in all parts
of the precinct, from near the levee to the
swamp. They were noisy, rude, sham eless,
brazen, defiant, not a single trace of beauty
or modesty remaining, and they looked
more repulsive than any other similar col
lection in one cell.
Two or three nights afterward this wo-
mans cell was occupied solely by an Italian
boy eight or ten years old, who had been in
this country only three days; could not.
speak word of English, and was lost. He
alone was in that dark cell, with not bed
to lie upon, and he choose to stand up and
keep awake rather than recline upon the
long and wide boards, resembling shelves,
or upon the cold floor. Mr.. Turnkey
Lynch tno relation to Barney" of Iber-
ville) put the boy in there for safe keeping
because another boy darted out of the Office
under similar circumstances not long since
and gave the officers a rough chase.
Yet another night the female cell was
pretty full with a motley crowd, some
standing up, others stretched out on the
wide, long shelves, others lying on the
spacious floor. Among the latter was one
who had evidently been once the favOrite
daughter, reared in luxury and comfort, of
fond parents. Her rounded shoulders,
white as alabaster; her swelling bosom,
half exposed her youthful face wreathed
in smiles while sleeping on that hard couch,
formed a picture that an artists pencil
might have drawn, and made a thing of
beauty, yet. of sadness
Another night was brought in young
man, a native of the Sunny South, gal
LIANT soldier on the wrong side, brilliant
journalist, rising and successful politician,
in state of partial inebriation. A most prom
ising future was before him, but he sacrificed
all his hopes in the vain expectation of de-
irving pleasure from slipping the cup that
intOxicates. Could he make one more
strong rally he might yet be saved to grace
the position in life for which his splendid
talents fit him. His arrest was rather to
restrain than punish him.

The St. Louis Repal9ltean saws:


The Liberal ticket sweeps everything be-
fore it in the great Northwest. The Chicago
Nelcs, which at first hesitated as to the pol
icy of the Democratic party, now recognizes
the singular unanimity with which the De-
mOcracy of Illinois and the Northwest sup
port the ticket, and, in view of this fact, it
protests that the nomination of Demo
cratic ticket at Baltimore "will be fatal
step for the party to take" The Milwaukee
NelcS has stood uncommitted, and watched
the drift of Democratic opinion in WiscOn-
sin, until at last it is constrained to say:
'Greeley sentiment is acquiring a strength
and approaching unanimity that surprises
u.s. In this connection we quote the fol-
lowing reference to Senator Thurman from
the Cincinnati Enquirer
"a distinguished Democratic Senator in
Washington lately told leading friend of
his in Columbus, Ohio. that the chances of
the nomination of Horace Greeley at BaIti-
more were as nineteen out of twenty"
