"Among the most interesting book rari-
ties at Washington" says the Bibliotheca
1Sacra, lis quarto copy of Benoit's edition
of Pindar, which belonged to John Milton.
The manuscript contains thirty-tive quota
lions from Eustathius, sixty-three from
Homer, twenty seven from Callimachus,
nine from Moschus and fifteen from Tzetzes.
OF Lycophron's 'Cassandra, Lord Macaulay
says that it is the most obscure work in
the whole range of ancient literature;' yet
Milton has read it, and made notes on it,
and cited from it eighteen passages, while
he was reading this Pindar, at the age Of
.twenty-one.r

Resolutions of Thanks.

At call meeting of Ouachita Fire Co. No.
l, held Jan'y 10th, 1874, Col. r. Richardson
introduced the following preamble and res
olutions, which, on being duly seconded,
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Andy Conner, Of CONSTITUTION
intent Of that friendly and brotherly rela
ton and feeling which exists between all
firemen, generously and without previous
request or solicitation, take charge of, in the
city of Vicksburg, our Steam Fire Engine,
when it was much exposed, and at his own
expense move same to Delta for shipment
to this place therefore,
Be it IccsolUed, That Ouachita Fire Co.
No. 1, of Monroe, La, do hereby tender to
Andy Conner, and through him to his
Company, our sincere and grateful thanks
for his kind, generous and noble conduct !;
and we further tender to our brethren of
the Constitution our fraterna1 regard, and
hope that some future day may enable us
to give them more tangible evidence OF our
regard.
Resoluei, further, That tho Secretary be
required to furnish copies of this pream bic
and resolution to the OUACHITA TELEGRAPH
and Vicksburg Her aid with request to pub
lish and forward bill to this Company for
payment and, also, copy to said Andy

eminent. Some of these same planters,
whom we know to have been bowling
about ignorant government and high
taxes, are now engaged in increasing
the poll lists of ignorant voters. We.
should be pleased to have these plan
tiers tell us what their bowls have
meant-what their property will be
worth under tue continued influx Of
these same ignorant voters-what they
mean by denouncing the Radicals In
speech, and yet aiding them by whole
batallions of voters,-and what is like
1y to be the future of Louisiana under
this system Of publication? In fact,
we demand that these men shall ex-
plain what ultimate good they promise
to the poor struggling white men who
have small homes and ought to have
rights, when they inundate whole
parishes with the lazaroni of Alabama
and Georgia, who will be taught, as
our own lazaroni have been, that taxes
must be raised so high that the lands
will have to be divided, and the OPP
pressed and oppressor come to poverty
alike?

g'asz Of the Steam Fire Engine.

The Silsby steam fire engine pur-
chased by the City was brought out
Monday for trial. The Fire boys were
all on hand. The engine was first
taken by hand to the cistern at the
head of Grammont street. It was then
drawn by horses to the river at the
head Of Pine street; then carried to
rnond at Corners backyard; and then
I,ro,rht to the Courthouse cistern. 1t
was thoroughly tested, and gave entire
satisfaction, throwing stream OF water
ao5 feet, and performing its work with
ont accident or sign of inefficiency.
Mcssrs. Sadlcr and Hovcy, of the man.
ufacturing company, had the direction
Of tho test, and appeared to fear no
trouble. In q few words, the perform
,nce of the Pride of Monroe came up
to all the requirements asked.
The firemcn held a meeting in the
evening, and elected Maurice Mckinn
cnnineer, at a salary of $75 per month.
The occasion of the trial was attended
bv nearly all of our people, little, big,
old and young.
Our only nlisgiving as to the venture,
is, in the supply of water (as we stated
some time ago,) and in the manage
mont at fire. We saw enough
on the trial to convince us that plenty
of water is essential, and that eael
member Of the Company must know
his duty, and scrupulously perform it
Without these essentials, the old hant
engine, in the hands of the darkeys
may wear the blue ribbon.

a PrOblenl.

There is one thing we cannot solve,
but, doubtless, some of our large inn
norters of colored citizens can. The
great strain, confessedly, upon the fu-
ture of Louisiana, is the bad charac-
ter of its government. Men complain
that there is no substantial inducement
to improve the country and make per-
monent homes in Louisiana. They
tell us about the worthless character OF
the labor, so far as the Improvement of
homes and plantations goes, and COM
plain that their black laborers are not
only Independent in the progressive
operations Of the farm, but will not
listen to their experience and advice in
the management of the affairs of gov:

Plain Talk for Subscribers.

If the individuals who subscribe for
newspapers know tenth of the lmpo-
sitions, cheats and beggaries practiced
upon publishers, we should not be
obliged to explain to about halfa-dozen
patrons of this paper, whatever fancied
offcnsc we may have given them in
polite request for subscription to the
TELEGRAPH, that our complaints
against the patrons at large of this
paper outranll more than one hundred
of their small and Vindictive COM

plants, all put together. If we have
presented our bills to men who wanted
this paper, it is not only no more than
they ought to expect, but to demand.
But whether they expect, or demand
this of us, makes no sort Of difference.
We have INDUCED, we may say, the
whole country-have advanced paper,
ink, labor, rent, &C., to not less than
$50 able-bodied men who weekly re-
ceive our paper; and, who because
they complain when it does not reach
them, we are justified in saying, are
mad when it does not come. We are
not a dog, nor a pack-horse, a beggar,
nor anybody's man-servant, or maid
servant that we should labor for them
for the dogs privilege of reminding
them that they owe us, and then have
our requests treated as If we were
mercenary dependant upon their boun-
ty. This paper, in every essential t"
a newspaper Office, belongs to its editor.
We have RETAINED from soliciting any
ones subscription. Our rates, rules and
regulations are published each week.
We do nothing but legitimate, and
regular "high-toned'' business, and we
simply have to say, that, it would have
been thousands of dollars in our pocket
if those we have done business with
had been as prompt and regular In
their dealings as we have. 1t is rather
too late-it is like going back on a
friend-for men to put up their noses
at us, because we demand pay for our
work. We end our homiIy by the
broad declaration, that no man is re-
quired to take the TELEGRAPH. If,
when his year is out, the paper is con-
tinued to his address, it is because we
think he wants it, and is able to pay
for it. The men who think we want
their bounty are entitled to no better
information than that we simply hold
them and their bounty too in contempt.

Probabilities.

1t is a little remarkable how we can
manage the weather. When rain is
needed, we say there has been no rain
the past week. Before tho paper gets
to the post office, it is already thunder
ing. Last week, we said there had
been no snow the whole winter. The
press had notigot in motion, before it
began showing, and Friday morning
q inches of snow covered the ground,
roofs, &c. Yesterday the writer COM
menced gardening; in exactly fifteen
minutes it began to rain. We predict
a very long wet cold spell, and probably
not.

Seeing a notice in our exchanges, to
the effect that ex-President Davis, on
his recent visit to Vicksburg, met
number of old friends, reminds us that
among these old friends was our fellow
townsnan, Major H. M. Bry, who was
three years at West Point with Mr..
Davis. The vanity of Mr.. Davis was
we'll illustrated by the fact, that he
addressed Major Bry as Henry, and the
Major addressed the eX-President as
Jeff. They chatted until bedtime, re-
calling "reminiscences of the long ago,
Int never once discussed politics.
Goodbye, jeff, said the Major; good
bye, Henry, said the ex-President.
