On Rreakfng Dishes.


We are glad to know, says Max
Adeler, that the Emperor Of China
has issued decree declaring that
if the chief officer of his household
handles dishes so carelessly as to
break them, he shall be killed. We
say we are glad of this, because we
hope to have the same regulation
put into effect in this country. If
it is, about two thousand hired girls
will be executed every week and we
may reasonably hope that the de-
struction of crockery will be check
ed We have stopped it tempora
rily in our house by having q tea set
made of wrought iron and painted
white. When a new hired girl
comes she drops the coffee pot on
the floor. Finding with amusement
that it does not break, she thumps
it with q fat-iron, and drops bricks
on it, and goes out and borrows q
sledge- hammer and whacks it,. and
then perceving that it is as good as
ever, she sits down in front of the
COTE pot and bursts into tears.
Then she gives warning, loads up
with sugar and beef and butter for
her sick aunt, embeEzles three or
four hem-stiched handkerchiefs and
any odd palow-cases that are lying
around, and starts for the nearest
intelligence Office. s.Max" is GER

Hard times means fifteen cent
drinks and ten cent cigars four
times q day, and the intervening
hours wiled away with cards and
billiards. Under such conditions
is it any wonder that due bills are
plentier than potatoes, and that
the scarcity of panes in the windows
is the result of too many pains in
the head? For whose benefit do
the wives and children of the men
who waste their days and nights in
saloons 60 shoeless TO work and
supperless to bed! It is for the
authors of their disgrace and mis-

SOME time since q petition signed
by the citizens of Big Lake Town
ship, and endorsed by influential
men here, was forwarded to the
Governor asking him to appoint
John McDolo magistrate to fill the
vacancy that existed in that Town
ship. The Goyernor responded
promptly, and the secretary of state
forwarded q commission for Mr..
McDolo to the county clerk, who
on Friday presented it to the gen.
tleman and demanded the usual fee
of one dollar charged by the secre-
sary Of state for every commission
issued. Mr.. McDole refused to pay
the dollar remarking that "he
could not be swindled in that style,
and that they dfl not do business
in that way in his state" or words
to that effect. Mr.. Best offered to
advance the money for the commits
sion, but Mr.. McDolc refused to, ac-
knowledge in any way his obliga-
ton, and the commission was with
held, and yesterday returned to the
Governor. The citizens of Big
Lake Township may sec from this
plain statement of facts who is TO
blame in this matter.

TIE dance at Mr.. W. p. Hale's
residence on Tuesday evening was
certainly one of the most pleasant
and agreeable AFFAIRS of the season.
The weather, which for the past
three or four weeks, had been so
disagrcoably warm, was rendered
delightful and pleasant, as if in an
swor to the wishes of the pleasure
seekers, by y copious shower of
rsin early in the evening. From q
convenient stand point, (the gate, }
we gazcd with rapture upon the
brilliant throng assembled. The
iatcs were propitious-tbo evening
cool and pleasant, and dancing in
the ball and broad piazas, gave us
fair opportunity to witness undis-
turbcd the beauty and elite of Mis-
sissippi County. While thus wrapt
in pleasant contemplation, before
entering, we were torcibly struck
with the truth Of the remark by n
visitor, that Osceola and vicinity
could boast more beautiful and in
tcrosting young ladies than any
other village of its size. The bellies
were out in full force, and with their
usual captivating manners and
charming wit, grace and pleasant
smiles, succeeded in making the
evening as pleasant as can well be
imagined; and if we may judge from
appearances, cupid did his work
well and captured all who were the
least susceptible.
The dance continued It'll a late
hour, when all, feeling grateful to
the kind host and hostess for the
pleasant reunion, departed for their
respective homes, well pleased
with the evenings amusement.

that have occurred IN that ity,
until last week, when Mrs. Oliver
being unable longer to put up with
the treatment received from the
hands of her l.ege lord, left the
County and State, returning.to her
relations in Missouri, since which
time peace has reigned supreme.
Thursday night however, We were
startled by a loud and angry dis
pute, which soon eliminated into
a regular pitched battle, judging
from the report of flying and
breaking crockcry, and the cries
of terror and agony from the
evidently wounded and assaulted
parties. Next morning we learned
that q young man "brcad a carpcn-
ter, so ga-lorious and so bold" "
got drunk and assaulted his better
half, who was in turn driven from
the field of battle by Mr.. Oliver and
son at the point of an old rusty
shotgun.
Query: Can't a & be put to
this rowdyism? Every one in the
vicinity are getting awful tired
of it.

WEnotice that our state cxchang-
es have, with few exceptions, copied
our notice Of the doirgs and alb,
sconding of Frank May. We were
glad to see it SO universally noticed
and hope the press throughout the
state will never fail to ventilatc and
expose fraud and villainy, whcnev'
er and wherever found. When it is
understood by evil-doers that they
cannot escape publicity by merely
skipping from one county to nnoth'
er, but must leave the state to en-
sure anything like security, it may
deter them from violating law ano
order, and thus probably be render
cd useful if not ornamental.

them to provide for journey out

First Bale of Cotton.

Col. J. i. Borum shipped on the
steamer City of Chester last We'd
nesday, the first bale of cotton from
this county. If we mistake not,
this is the second bale from the
state, the first being from Prairie
County. Itwas consigned to Messrs.
A. J. Roach & Co. Of Memphis, and
as it was a fine sample, having
been picked with care, We hope to
hear that the Col. realized a hand.

We mentioned somo weeks ago tho
fact that John Pierce, an old and
worthy negro living on Captain
Charles Bowen's place had been
robbed of some fifteen or sixteen
hundred dollars in money. Suspi-
cion attached at the time to one
Jethro Elmore, a mulatto, and a ne.
gro woman named Tennessee Bard,
but no positive proof being elected
at a preliminary examination be-
tore Squire Hale, they were relcas-
ed from custody. A few nights af-
terward, it being asccrtained that
they were about leaving town to-
gether, they were rearrestcd and
searched, but nothing definite was
proven, and they were again set at
liberty. Circumstantial evidence
accumulating against Tennessee she
was rc-arrestcd on Tuesday and
again brought before Squire Mahan.
John 0. Blackwood appeared for
the defense and IN behalf of his
client waived an examination, in
the meantime giving bond and Sc
curity in the sum Of five hundred
dollars for her appearance at the
next term Of Circuit Court.

We have boon reliably informed
that one day this week n young
lady was observed walking through
the streets OF Osccola with an
APreat for hustle, followed by a
sympathetic gentleman bathcd in
tears. The Appeal must indeed
have been of an unusually pathetic
character to produce such an effect.
But what we want TO know is how
our informant knew that the hustle
was made out Of an Appeal?

| J. Is. BEST, County Clerk, II. c.
Cough, of Fronchman's Bayou, DR..
j. +. Davies, Dank Pittman, Capt.
Charley Bowen, Wm. Mckinney
and James Oliver, arrested by the
Federal authorities last fall for al
legged completely in the "negro
massacre" SO called, and who gave
bond for their appearance before
the Phillips County Federal Court,
left town yesterday on the Tower,
en- route for Helena to stand their
trial. AS is well known to every
man, woman and child in Mississip-
pi county, these gentlemen simply
obeyed the orders Of the properly
constituted authorities, and, as q
part of an armed posse comi'atus, as
sisted the shcrif, who was acting
under orders of the Judge of the
Court then in session in Osceola, in
putting down an insurrcction head
ed by the notorious Fitzpatrick.
They were arrested by the Fed
eral authorities, as has since been
admitted publicly by Fitzpatrick
and Richards, and carried to Hcle-
ma under arrest in the hopes and
belief that they could not give the
bonds that would be required of
them, and that they would be de-
tained away from the county during
The election. Thanks to the patri-
otic citizens of Philips county, who
saw the iniamy OF. the movement,
they werO promptly bailed, and are
now gong back to make good their
bondsmen and to confront and con-
found their enemies. We wish
them pleasant journey and safe
return.

THE Governor has issued a

registration in which has but re,
Gently closed. Registrars, in dis
charging their duties will be gov
crned by the laws upon the sub
ject, and close the registration at
least ten days before the November
eleot,on. It's to be hoped that all
who are entitled to Registration
iand yoto will not fnil to do so, as
they now have the opportunity to
exercise a right, which a great
number Of our citizens at least,
have been denied for a number OF
years.
We feel confident from the known
character Of the registrars appoint
ed for Mississippi County, a fair
registration will be made and that
the frauds committed at the last
election will not be repeated this
fall. Let every man register, as
none can vote without.
