regard u the financial affairs Of Mississippi.

we inquired, during the very able converse

amounted to but $500 ,2iS.04, your public

The Democratic Party.

For many months a few papers in the
country have been predicting the death of
the Democratic party, and many an editor
has bothered his brain in writing Obituar-
les of that time-hOnOred organization.
But their predictions have demonstrated
but one thing, and that is that the true
spirit of prOphesy has died out in the land.
The Democratic party still lives, and will
live while the human race exists. De
mOcracy means freedom ave, tits the very
essence of that delicious boon. 1t cannot
die in the United States, for the reason
that it is synonymous with the principles
upon which the Governments based. The
objections that these wOuld-be prophets
have to the party is that its principles are
obsolete. Then the constitution of our
country has Outlived its usefulness. 1t is
one and the same thing with Democracy.
If the time has arrived for a change in the
form of our Government. a change in the
policy of the Democratic party may then
be advocated. But the time for such a
change has not arrived, nor can it ever
come while Democratic sentiments make
up the political creeds of the people. The
old party is stronger than ever, and the
people are moving in its interest all over
the land. In Missouri an activity is being
displayed that will certainly achieve sue
cess. 1t is the only opposition to Radical
ism, and the masses are rallying TO its ban
ners. Let all who desire to see Radical
ism Overthrown and honesty and purity
again occupying the high places of honor
and trust, exert themselves in behalf OF
the Democratic party and assist in render
ing its triumph complete. That it will
triumph there Is no doubt; but let all good
men contribute to the victOry.-haHsas
City Times.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1874-06-04
The Vulgarity of American Diamond
Wearing.

Are we nation of pawnbrokers or
jewellers? We must be one or the other,
or wherefore the quantity of diamonds
that are worn by women and children? |
have no fault to find with the middle-aged
lady who adorns herself with the family
Jewels on full-dress Occa siOns, but good
taste is outraged at the sight of girl of
fifteen wearing as many diamonds as
would ransom a king. Not long ago L
met little child, who could not have been
over five years old, out walking with her
nurse, and from her ears hung immense
solitaire diamonds. 1t is no uncommon
thing to see schoolgirls from the ages of
ten to eighteen wearing diamonds on their
fingers and in their ears. A young girl
does not think her toilet complete without
diamond earrings and at least a diamond
ring. Then, as she gets richer, come hair
ornaments and crosses and lOckets made
of the precious stones. Necklaces Of
diamonds are rare in this country, and are
not often seen off the stage. The Count
ess of Caithness, who visited this country
some time ago, was the wonder and admi-
ration of all New Y YOrk when she appeared
in her box at the opera flashing in SSOO,OO0
worth of diamonds. But, then, her dia-
mands had been handed down from gene
ration to generation of very rich ancestors,
and were only second to those Of royalty.
In European countries it is not until a
woman has attained to years of maturity
that she wears diamonds, and even then
not unless she is very rich. In this coun-
try no one is too young to wear them.
and. was going to say, no one too poor,
for have often seen women who live in
small houses, up back streets, appear at
church or the opera glttering in diamonds.
4 lady of my acquaintance, when she gets
up in the morning, puts on a calico wrap
per. but that does not prevent her array
inc herself in diamond earrings, breast
pin and finger rings. with which adOrn-
ment she performs her household tasks

Compulsory Education in New York.

The Empire State has made education
compulsory. The law to that effect comes
into force Jan. l, 1873. 1t contains ten
sections. The first provides that every
child between the ages of eight and four
teen wears, not physically or mentally III
capable of study, shall be instructed at
home or in school, at least fourteen weeks
of each year, eight of which shall be con-
secutive. in spelling, reading, writing,
English grammar. geography, and arIth-
metic. The second section fOrbidS, under
penalty of $50 fine, the employment dur
inc school hours of any child who has not
attended school fourteen weeks of the pre-
ceding wear. The third directs School
Trustees to examine the manufactures OF
their district, in order to see whether this
rule is Obeyed. The fourth is unimpOr-
tant. The fifth authorizes Trustees to en-
force the preceding sections, and fixes the
fines for keeping children from school at
81 for the first and So for each succeeding
week. The fines cannot, however, DE
collected for more than thirteen weeks.
The sixth section empowers the Trustees
to supply textbooks to poor children;
The seventh provides that children shall
be classed as habitual truants on the writ
ten statement of their parents that they
cannot make them go to school. The
eighth gives Trustees and Boards of Edu-
cation the power to make rules, subject TO
the approval of a Justice of the Supreme
Court for.the District, for catching, cOnfin-
ing. and teaching habitual truants. The
ninth settles questions of jurisdiction.
The tenth provides that two weeks at
tendance at half-time or evening school
shall be counted as one week at day
school
