A Very Ancient Wall in Mississippi.

About eighteen miles from Port Gibson and
one mile nom Brandywine Springs, on the
place Of MIR. O'Quin, the existence of great
number of blocks of cut stones has been
known for an indefinite time, and the people
in the neighborhood have used them for props
for their houses Mr.. James Gage, Jr., went
out there, few days ago, to explore, and had
a specimen stone brought into town. l. is
about three feet long by twenty inches square,
resembling in shape bar of soap. 1t is
probably native sandstone. Mr.. Gage took
this block from beneath the roots of large
pine tree. 1t formed portion of a wall about
twenty feet broad on the top, which Mr..
Gage traced for a distance of two hundred
and fifty yards. The inference that one
would naturally draw from this superficial
view is that this must have been city wall,
but deep exploration might show it to be
portion Of a fort, temple or other building.
Anyway, its antiquity is probably immense,
aptedatipg the history Of the red men.-Pot

Or this sanity picture of the moonlight
falling on the dead face Of black slave in the
solitary waste:

Or this sanity picture of the moonlight
falling on the dead face of a black slave in the
solitary waste:
Again the still moon rose and stood
Above the dim, dark btlt of wood,
Above the buttes, above the snow,
And bent a sad, sweet face below.
She redch'd along The lecel plain
lier Tong, ,rtte Fingers. Then again
She reach'd, she touch'd the snowy sands,
Then reach'd far out until she touchd
A heap that lay with doubled hands
Reach'd from Its sable self, and c!utchd
With death.
tenderly
That black, that dead aud hollow face
Was k!ss'd at midnight.
What if say
The long, white moonbeams reveling there,
Caress,ng idle hands of clay,
And resting in the wrinkled hair,
And great lips push'd in silent pout,
We're Gods own fingers reaching out
From Heaven to that lonesome place?
Can we point to any descriptive verse in
the whole range OF American poetry equaling
this in breadth and elevation? Yet we have
selected merely average passages from the
poem, which in the maj part is OF similar
fine quality. Many times with single stroke
an image Of the most vivid intensity starts out
before the reader:
She dream'd, perehance, of island home,
A lani Of palms ring'd round with foam,
Where summer on her shelly shore
SITS doton disd rests f0recer more.
And 10!
There doomed from out the desert vast
A lonely ship, well built and trim,
And perfect all in hull and mast.
No storm had stained it any whit
No seasons set Ntetr teeth IN it.
They pitch'd the tent, where rivers run
AS if to drown the falling sun.
They saw the snowy mountains rolld
And heaVed along the nameess lands .
Like mighty billowe saw the gold
OF awful sunsets; saw the blush
OF sudden dawn, and felt the hu sh
or heaven 'Cten the dty sat dotcn
And hid has face IN dusty hands.
But more than enough has been quoted to
verify all we have said of the lofty character
Of Mr.. Miller's poetry. The beauties of it so
greatly overpower the few blelnishes that of
these we shall make no mention. II is evil
dent that the poet IS laboring to overcome the
marring his earlier eff )rts, and
the critic may not fer, after this splendid
success, to bestoW unreserved encourage
ment.
We have remarked that the thread of fiction
running through the poem is of gossamer
texture 1t begins and ends in mystery, but
a mystery that never tantalizes. 1t rather en-
hances the effectiveness Of Che plot, leaving |
the reader the not unwelcome task of con- |
occurring solution to suit his fancy. Never
theless, tilmy and misty as is the story, when |
it draws near the close the suspense grows |
breathless SO keen is the dread of tragic |
conclusion. |

The market opened with a good inquiry, but
operations restricted by hight offerings, and the
business during the m ,rning did not exceed 1870
bales, after which the movement showed rather
more animation, but much less than for several
days past.
Buyers appeared reluctant to go on, except to
limited extent, at the ruling rates, and factors
unwilling TO make any concessions in many cases
being still more stringent in their pretensions
The dispatches were not ca cuated to have much
influence, Liverpool being reported quiet at pre-
vious rates, with sales of 5000 bales, and New
York weak for spots, without any quota BILE vari
alton, while futures were 1-16Q11c higher.
The Exchange makes the amount ON ship
board 52,O75 bales, embracing 22,8l6 for Liver
pool, 10, 703 for Havre, 1911 for the North Sea-
2l27 for Bremen, 903 for the Mediterranean
1924 for Mexico, and 1881 for coastwise ports
According to the Exchange account this leaves
IN the presses a, 862 bales. II we deduct from
this the amount sold and engaged for ship
ment, but not yet delivered, the balance would
tity unsold, considerable portion OF which is
withheld from sale for the present.
