Fire at Como, Miss.

Last Wednesday the grist-mill and
steam cotton gin belonging to Major
Taylor, of Como, Pamela county, Miss,
was totally destroyed by fire, and with
the building four bales of cotton were
also consumed. The Gullett gin was
running with great rapidity when the
leather band snapped. Major Taylor
saw spark fly from the band into the
lintroam, and in an instant the house
was enveloped in flames. Nothing could
have saved it from destruction. The
loss is estimated at $4,000; no insu

No Redress I'm Earthly CourIs.o

The New Orleans Times of the oath
instant tells a very interesting but pa
thetic story OF the life of an orange
planter named Landmsn. Thirty years
ago he came into possession, as squat
ter, Of the Island of Cheniere, on the
Gulf coast He was at that time very
young and full of enterprise. By hard
labor, year after year, he succeeded in
raising one of the largest and finest or
chards in Louisiana, although he work.
ed alone for years After time, he
married and took his wife to the island,
and for years they enjoyed one of the
happiest of homes. Children were born
to them, and their work was remunera-
tive, so that they laid up a handsome
sum Then sickness came, and one by
one all the family died, until the father
was left alone again. Brooding upon
bis troubles, he iaucied that
the spirits of the dead were about him..
and soon he became an ardent belieyer1
in Spiritualism. At this point, some
greedy land-speculators discovered that
he had no valid title to his land, and set
about in the courts to Gispossess the old
man Of his island home He would not
retain counsel, but relied upon the spirits
to help him manage his case. Of course
there could be but one issue to the case.
There was practically no defense at all
His spirit friends did not help him. He
lost his home where he had lived for
thirty years, and where his wife and
children were buried When the Judge
announced his finding and decree, the
poor old man arose in court and his sole
reply was: please your Honor, there is
no redress for me in earthly courts.
therefore appeal my cause to the higher
court of the third heavens" This is an
appeal which cannot and will not be set
aside His compensation will come.

The Germans in Metz.

The Pail Mall Gazette says. So
diligently have the Germans used their
possession of Metz that the great works
which the French first projected in 1867,
after Sadowa, have been not only chr
ried to full completion, but their origi-
nal conception much improved on, This
is more particularly the case as regards
Fort St. Quentin, which every traveller
now recognizes as dominating the hills
on the opposite side of the Moselle to
the city. Its imperfect extent within
the enceinte, as laid out by the French
for giving room for modern great guns,
was commented on by the German en-
CINE as soon as it fell into their hands
This is now completely remedied, and
the power of the fort greatly increased
by the erection OF the so called West
Fort, huge out.work, which covers the
west side of the st. Quentin hill, and Com
mands the country toward GravelOtte.
The other great improvement made by
the Germans in the strength of the new
eneeinte of detached works was designed
aud begun by their predecessors, but
was not far enough advanced in 1870 TO
be of any service to Bazaine's army
when enclosed, This is the so called
Fort st. Privat (named from quite an
other St. Privat than that near Grave
lotte), which is built above the city on
the right or east bank of the Moselle.
three thousand yards outside the cid
works, and completely closes the open
ing along the valley of the river, which
was left before by the inability OF the
great works Of St. Quentin and Queuleu
to cross their fire on this side. 1t gives,
also. anew secure strategical point Of
issue for the defenders of Metz to de-
boueh from, il they so wish, into the
most open part of the country round.

For the Legislature.

In casting about for candidates for the
State Legislature the best representative
men should be selected by the people on
election day. Many elements will be
representative mercantile, the prop
erty owners, the mechanics and the la.
boring classes. Among the candidates
already announced we are pleased to see
the name Of John A. Rousb, who is an
enterprising citizen. Mr. Roush will
command a large support among the
mechanics and laboring men, as we'll as
in mercantile and other business
circles. He is man of sound
sense, good judgment and practical bus
mess knowledge, just such man as
would make a good Representative in
the State Legislature. His numerous
friends intend making strong effort to
have him nominated before the County
Legislative Convention, to be held in
this city on next Tuesday, the 18th inst
Mr. Roush served in the Federal army
during the war; but he, repudiates Radi-
calism and carpetbagism, and has ever
been a conservative man and fully in
accord with the Democratic and Con-
servative party of the State. Should he
receive the nomination he will be elected
by a large majority.

In the first place it is an expensive
instrument, ranging in price from $3.50
to $1,000 Those that sell for $3.50 are
single action instruments. The double
action harps are more expensive; the
average price is about $500. In the
