MISCEILAMEoUS.
AN INCIDENT WITH A MORAL.

T. N Monday afternoon q gentleman of this
w city entered the baggage car Of an OUT
ward train, and desiring TO read some manu-
script, chose this car because il was airy and
retired. A youugster about fifteen years Of
age was occupying, with great abandon,
chair. The gentleman wishing 70 sit near
the open door Of the car, to obtain both light
and air, thus accosted the youugster
"Bub, will you exchange that chair for my
seat for few minutes 7"
"No, sir {! this chair is engaged"
The gentleman was very polite, rs he recog.
nized the young mans right to the chair by
actual possession. It appears that he was
temporarily in charge of some express matter,
his father being the expressman on the route;
but the moral of the incident we shall give in
relating another incident, which occurred in
this city very many years ago.
There was a very plsinly dressed elderly
lady who was frequent customer at the then
leading dry goods store in Boston. No one
in the store knew her even by name. All
the clerks but one avoided her, aud gave
their attention to those who were better dressed
and more preteutious. The exception was
this young man who had conscientious re-
gard for duty and system. He never left
another customer to wait on the lady, but
when at liberty he waited upon her with As
much attention as though she had been
princess. This continued for year or two
until the young man became Of age. Ono
morning the lady approached theiyOuug nians
when the following conversation took place;
Lady-'tYoung man, do You not wish to
go into business for yourself?"
"Yes, nam" he responded "but have
neither money, credit nor friends, nor will
any one trust me"
"WelI," continued the lady, "you 20 and
select good situation, ask what the rent is.
and report to me-" handing the young man
her address. The young nan went, found .
capital location, good store, but the landlord
required security, which he could not give.
Mindful of the lady's request, he forthwith
went to her and reported.
"Well," she replied, ''you 90 and tell Mr..
that [ will be responsible"
He went, and the landlord, or agent, was
surprised, but the bargain was closed. The
next day the lady called 70 ascertain the re-
suit The young man told her, but added.
"WhAt am to do for. goods; NO one will
trust me?" 81.
"You may go and see Mr.. and Mr..
-, and MIR. -, and tell them to cali on
me
He did, and his store was soon soon stocked
with the best goods in the market There

Miss, boasts a newspaper calling itself the
TiShOmingo Herald, which INDUCES 70 talk
of this kind: "We must act speedily and
decidedly, no matter what it costs Better
lose the lives of half our citizens than to see
the whole outrageously trampled upon by an
ignorant and savage negro mob. We sug-
eest to our brethren the formation of white
leagues in every civil district, in every county
in the State. Let them meet in secret and
be bound by the most solemn Uaths, and let
death be the penalty of any violations of the
order. Already we have good reason to be.
lieve such leagues have been formed in many
counties, and the thing is becoming more
aud more popular every day of its existence.
This land is ours by right and by inheritance,
and We must control it, even at the expense
of oceans of blood and millions of lives. The
constant cry all over the South is, the ne.
groes are threatening to burn this town and
that; to murder the women and children in
this place or the other Let the heIlish bar
barian brutes go on, We will take score of
lives for every woman or child murdered, and
when once we-stsrt, in fact. not damnable
negro assassin will be left in the south. We
