JEFF. Davis and tho United States
Senate.

Now that it is plain that Mississippi
will elect a Democratic Senator to sue
coed Mr.. Alcorn, it behooves us to be-
gin to look around US for some able
citizen to represent us. Among the
names mentioned is that of the distin-
gnished soldier and statesman whose
name is seen at the head of this arti-
Gle. We believe that the Washington
Chronicle is the first journal that mem
toned Mr.. Davis name in this connec-
ton, and it did it to taunt the Demo-
cratic party at the North. A Cincin-
natl paper followed the lead of the
Chroicle, and thus by accident promi.
hence was given to 4 subject that
should not have attracted the least
notice.
There are many, many reasons why
Mr.. Davis can never represent the peo-
pie of Mississippi again in the National
Congress. Tie first is that he is not
now, and has not for years been citi-
zen of the State. Hfs disabilities have
never been removed; he has deter
mined never to enter public life again,
and would not serve If chosen. Then,
if all these difficulties were removed, it
would be a very bad policy to send
Mr.. Davis to the Senate for, although
the war ended when the North-aided
by Europeans, Mongolians and Afri-
cars-whipped the South, this State il,
to a certain extent, looked upon as a
province. and IA a very suspicious pro.
vince at that. We have long since for
given the Nortl, for licking US, but the
North has never quite forgiven us for
being so Internally hard to lick. This
being the case, and Mr.. Davis being
among the unforeive,,. sending him to
the Uni'ed States Senate ia not to be
thought Of for a moment The logic
of this position is not at all lessened |
by the Ex-President's ability aud
for these make him
more objectionable than if he only
elnalled the common run of Northern
s nators.- Vicksburg Herald.

4 Very Accommodating Husband.
He GIVES UP HIS WIFE TO A FRIEND
AND MARRIEs HIS ADOPTED
DAUGHTER.

An ambitious little railroad town in
this county was shaken from stem to
stern by society happening" which
recently occurred in her midst. This
event involved so wide a departure
from the beaten track Of human Gus
tom and divine mandates. as well, that
the moral sense of the community was
greatly shocked, and even the gossips
lifted up their hands to disclaim
against it. There resides in this town
Dr.. 800, who, until recently, did busi-
hess as druggist. His family consis-
ted Of wife and an adopted daugh-
ter. The wife was an amiable lady in
the prime Of yonng womanbood, and
The daughter an intelligent and engag-
ing young woman, who acted as clerk
in her foster-father's drug store
Boarding with the family was a litera-
~ gentleman of cultivated mind and
taste, who occupied room in the
drug store, where he devoted much of
Of his time to driving the quill. The
family circle, composed of these four,
moved along tremendously until Cupid
looked in upon them, and discovering
latent love in each human breast, he
thence began making matches-not of
the regulation kind requiring four
strokes to illumine the darkness-but
that of binding genial hearts and
hands.
The literary man secretly cherished
an ardent admiration for the doctors
wife, and the doctor more than a faith
er's affection for his adopted daughter.
Then mutual recognition of the Sc
cret passions, a mutual agreement to
allow the course of love to "run
smooth" q mutual separation of the
doctor and his wife-crlminating at
last in the uniting of hands will, hearts
to suit their wishes. The doctor gave
his wife to the literary man and accep-
ted the hand of his own adopted dausl,-
ter. They now form two families, the
literary man having gonc will, his new
made wife to join the Changers on a
farm not far distant. TITS aa,d tLe |

translators and experts, and not
more than two changes have occur

The fellow looked at it, and as be

Love Making In Portugal.
A CURIOUS FORM OF coURTsHIP-A PA
TENT PAIR OF LOVERS.

The young men, however, have on,
occupation more important even thar
wearing tight boots, and which almost
in fact. goes with it-that of maxim,
the very mildest form of courtehiE
known among men. The process, in
deed, is carried on in SO Plutonic {
manner, and with so much proper feel
ing, that doubt if even the strictest
Englisl, governess would find anything
in it to object to. The Young gentle
men pay their addresses by simply
standing in front of the house occupied
Ivy the object of their affections, while
the young person in question looks
down approvingly from an upper vim
dow, and there the matter ends. They
are not within speaking distance, and
have to content themselves with ex-
pressive chances and dumb show, for
it would be thought highly unbecoming
for the Young lady to allow a, billet
'donx to flutter down into the street,
while the laws of gravitation stand in
the way Of the upward flight of such
document-unweighted, at least,
with stone, and this, of course, might
risk giving the young lady black
eye, or breaking her fathers window
panes. So the lovers there remain,
often for hours, feeling, no doubt, very
happy, but looking unutterably fool
ish. These silent courtslips some
times continue for very long periods
before the lover can ask the fatal ques-
ton, or the lady return the final an
swer. heard stnry of one such pro-
tracted conrtship, which, an ingenious
novelist might easily work into pref
ty romance.
About forty or fifty years ago. be-
fore the suppression of converts in
Portugal, a young lady was engaged
to be married. For some reason ol
other, the marriage did not come. off,
and the girl was placed in Benedic
ton nnnnery at Oporto. Soon after
came the abolition of converts; but
while the mOnasteries were absolutely
dissolved, and the monks scattered,
the nuns who were already inmates of
religious houses were suffered there to
remain The young lady accordingly,
