The Old Capitol Of mississippi Blown Down

From tho Natchcz Democrat
During the severe storm that occurred Il
few wesks ago one Of tho historical
landmarks of Mississippi WAS blown
down and destroyed. It was an old
building which stood in tho grounds Of
tho Jefferson College, near Washington,
in this county, with which was con-
nocted some Interesting incidents Of
our State history. In this old house,
in 1914, was adopted and signed the
constitution that gavo Mississippi n
place among the States of the Union,
and it was occasionally used as the
meeting-place OF tho Territorial and
State Legislature. All who participate
cd in framing the first State constitu-
tfonal have, we believe, passed away,
the late Joseph e. Davis, the elder
brother of President Davis, being,
we think, the last. Tho town of
Washington, then thriving village,
was the capitol Of the Territory, and
here Aaron Burr was brought for exam
nation after his arrest, ut the mouth
OF Coles creek, by Acting Governor
Cnwls Mead. Long before a Protestant
church was thought of in Natchez, this
old builning was erected for church
by the Methodists, the lot being donu-
ted by that strange and eccentric en-
Shusiast Lorenzo Dow. 1t was proba-
bly, the first Protestant church cdifice
erected in MISSISSIPPI, If not in the
whole Southwest.

A THOUSAND POUND BULLOCK,

Yesterday, for the first time in the
history Of Shreveport, there was a
Thousand pound bullock hung up in
the narkethouse. This immense bovine
was brought by the steamer Joe Kin
ney from st. Louis, in company with
some forty head of lighter weights"
to the credit Of Offering to our citizens
such fine meat, who, by tho way, used
to have standing offer OF 800 to any
Texas cattle man who would produce a
bullock Weighing one thousand pounds.
In this connection we would remark
that it is one Of the most novel specta-
cles this century, pregnant with start
ling events, has presented-this ship
mont Of cattle from st. Louis to point
so near the great cattle State of the
Union. Verify, as our disgusted river
man has remarked, this is like carrying
coal to Newcastle. But these wonders
will never cease with us Southern peo-
pie. Why, sirs, Sale & Murphy the
other day received n consignment of
sweet potatoes from New Orleans.
Sweet potatoes; product peculiarly
adapted to this soil and climate, If any
thing is. If we cannot raise our own
sweet potatoes, in heavens name, what
can we raiser Certainly not ourselves
out Of the depth of poverty to which
we arc all sinking slowly year by year.
Now, 1t is all right and proper-cmi-
nent economy-that we should import
our tOOthpicks and AK hclvcs, but sweet
potatoes! 1t is enough to make q man
strike his Acknowledgment Times.

ELECTRIC FISHES.

The action of electric fishes may be
likened to that of lightning, in being
independent of our intention. The
shocks Of the gymnotus are particularly
formidable. Alexander Humboldt re-
lates that, having put both Of his feet
on one of these fish, just taken from the
water, he experienced so violent
shock that he felt pains in all his joints
the rest of the day. These shocks
throw the strongest animals down, and
it is necessary to avoid rivers frequent
Ell by the gymnOtus, because, in at
tempting to ford them, horses or mules
might be killed by the discharges. To
capture these fish the Indians drive
wild horses into the water, stirring the
cells up out of the mud by their tramp
ling. The yellowish, livid creatures
press against the horses under their
bellies, throw down the greater part
and kill some of them, but, exhausted
in their turn, they are then easily taken
with the aid of small harpoons. The
savages employ them to cure paralysis.
Faraday compares the shock of GYM
notus, which he had an opportunity to
study, to that of a strong battery Of
fifteen jars. A live eel out of water,
when touched by the hand, communi-
Gates shock strong in proportion to
the extent OF surface in contact, and
the stroke is felt up TO the shoulder,
and followed by II very unpleasant
numbness. It may be transmitted
through twenty persons in Il chain, the
first one touching tho back and the last
the belly of the eel. The fishermen
discovered the presence OF an Gel in
their nets by experiencing shock in
throwing paiIfuls of water ON to wash
them. Water is a good conductor, and
this fish kills or benunbs the animals
1t feeds on by delivering discharge
through the water.

Arkansas sets herself right on the
suffrage question. There were but two
thousand votes polled against tho con-
stitutional amendment enfranchising
those who were excluded under the
constitution rs amended after the war.
The vote was very light, 1t being I'm.
darstood that there would be no organ
lied opposition to the measure.
