Lady Holland and rEer Capric~

Lord Holland was all kindness and cul-
tivated intelligence, while Lady Holland
undoubtedly mingled with her many kind
and charming qualities a good deal of
that tyranny which old-fashioned poets
were fond of celebrating as among the
perogatives and graces of the ladies
whose praise they sang. cit must have
been curious" says the author of these
volumes, 'to see her cody order about the
clever men of the day who were accus-
toned to being courted by others" 1t
must occasionally have been something
rather more than curious. In the midst
of Maculay's most overwhelming flow of
talk and anecdote she would tap on the
table with her fan, and say, CHOW, Mac
ulay, we have had enough of this. Give
us something else," Once she was a lit
tie too imperative in tone when issuing
her commands to Sydney Smith. She
said, rather peremptorially, Sydney,
ring the bell" ooh, yes" he answered,
'and shall | sweep the room" While
Moore was engaged in preparing his
Life of Sheridan" he was dining once
at Holland House, and sat next the hos
tess. She kindly remarked to him,
"Ihis will be dull book of yours, this
Sheridan I fear" To Lord Dorchester
she said once, 81 am sorry to hear that
you are going to publish poem. Can't
YOU suppress it?" Her friendly factotum,
Allen, who usually sat at the bottom of
the table and carved for her, she was
capt to fidget" by giving him directions
until he sometimes lost his patience and
fswould assert his independence by lay
ing down the knife and fork and telling
her she had better do it herself Mr..
! Chorley's recently publishing memoirs
contain an amusing story of the manner
in which the late Comte DOrsay, then a
Young man, resented what he considered
vexatious caprice Of Lady Holland.
He sat next her at dinner, and she drop
ped her napkin, which he stopped forand
restored to her. Then she let fall her
1 handkerchief, then her knife, then her
fork, and so on. AT last Dorsey lost
] patience, and, calling to one of the foot
men, he requested in an audible tone
that his plate might be laid upon the
floor, adding, 81 shall finish my dinner
there, as it viii be more convenient tc
Lady Holland.

The Bribery Charge-O. C. French

We published the rejoinder of the
Pascagoula Star to Mr.. French's denial,
with the query what " does Mr.. French
say now p this was said in view of the
repetition of the charge in the Star and
its statement, if Mr French continues
@ to deny the charge, and insists upon
q our publishing it, we will doso, together
20 with certain other charges contained in
q his letter-of peculiar interest to the
people of Mississippi at this time-and
this we are authorized to do"
To this Mr.. French replies:
JACKSON, MISS, Nov. 20, 1873.
w. Smith, Esq, Editor Star Of Pascegula:
SIR-Your statement in your issue of
the 10th, partakes of the same evasive
nature as the one published in your issue
for the ID. Your original charge is di-
rect and specific. | denied it then and
deny it now. In your last you quote
from your authority as saying that
q French, Gibbs, and others did receive
so, 900 for certain bills passed through
the Legislature make the same de
NAL of this charge-for myself-that l
made to the original one; but never
undertook to defend Gn indefinite number
of unknown persons. Candor should in
duce you to stick to your original charge
l never had any curiosity" TO
''gratify" in this matter. What was asked
for, and what l still ask for, is your au-
thority for and proof of your charge
which | will meet when produced With
this communication | close my CORES
pondence with you through the medium
of the newspaper press. l have, for the
last three weeks, been endeavoring to
obtain your definite statement Bust
ness compels me to be absent from the
State for the next twenty days, but on
my return l will be glad to meet any
thing definite you may have to say in re-
gard to myself.
Yours, etc., 0. c. FREEcH.
Mr.. French having CONTINUED to deny
the charge" and persisted in calling for
the proof, candor requires US to say that
the name of the party who made it.
should no longer be withheld. Its publ
cation is due to all concerned.

A committee of colored men of Ken

TIE CoLoRED PEOPLE AND THE Gu
BAN QUEsTIoN.-To the credit of the
colored people in the South, it should be
especially noted that they were unani-
mously in favor of the most stringent de-
tmands for reparation for the murder of the
Virginius passengers and crew, and of the
sezure Of the Island of Cuba as security
for the future. They would have fur
nisded their full proportion of volunteers
to enforce the claims of the Government
if troons had been called for.

C,Ro1sox p. O., NoxUBEE COUNTY, MISS
November ~, 1873.
70 he Editors Of the Clarion:
Letters occasionally reach here stating
that parties who are dcsirous of attending
school have gone elsewhere, because they
heard that this old school was Frustrated or
suspended. We, the undersigned, are a
committee f her STUDENTS, consisting OF the
present class, and ask to say to the public
through YOU, that nothing could be further
from correct than the impression that Sum-
mervillc institute is FRUSTRATED. Several
causes operated to make our class smaller
than is customary, the principal one being
the ire~ent financial panic. Another one
We are informed, very reliably, is that a
considerable number of the previous class
we're advised, by the Principal, not to re-
turn.
nearly three sessions, and We say, without
hesitation or reserve, that this is the best
class by large per cent, we have ever
seen and, further, that there is more kindly
and genuine good feeling between students
and teachers, than we ever saw in school
before. The students discharge their duties
with chtcrlulness, and the teachers theirs
promptly aud punctnally.
Mr.. j. III. Ransom, the new teacher of
mathematics, tas sustained the reputation
he brought to his position. He gives entire
satisfaction, and is highly respected, as a
gentleman
Mr.. Gathright, whose experience and
ability are known to nearly everyone, has,
during the present term, been unusually
cheerful. lie is always attentive.
The dormitories and recitation rooms are
comfortable, and we'll supplied with fuel.
oar fare is as -good as we desire.
In conclusion, we desire to say, that we
have no idea that there is a better school
anywhere. Instead of being PROSTATE, it Is
better than ever. Mr.. GaShright informs us
that he has been more uni ormly happy
with this class of boys, than he has been for
the twenty -iour years of lis professional
life. We have never seen more harmony
and system.
No young man should leave the State. to
90 to high school, so long as there is a va
cant room here. There is no sham here
there Is no humbug; and there Is no method
of attracting students except by making
the school serviceable to them

we make them because thew are true, and
because some young man NAV be turned

THY WORK IS DONE.

The sunlight sheds its glory
About the city's ways,
And 10y and peace and gladness
catch life beneath its rays.
Rnt in bleak. cold garnet,
What sees the noontide sum-

Her work is not yet DONE
And when the shadows gather
There By the moons soft light,
She plies her task-but hearken!
strange voices OF the nightI
They seem TO whisper round her-
: Rest thee, thy crown is won;
Soon shalt thou rest from laDor:,
SON shall thy work be done
And in the morn's glad sunlight
She lay there cold and dead,
To the great God who gave 1t
Her weary soul had fed.
She heard the angels singing
From ways beyond the sun
"Comp home, come home TO heaven,
Rest thee, thy work Is DONE"
