Observation-Disclosures is no White League or political
organization In Mississippi whose object is to deny
to colored men, because of color or for any reason
any flghts or privileges guaranteed by law; nor is
there any political organization of wbit men which
mas any other object than secure the election of
honest and capble officials
F9ttee1th-That the call of the Governor on the
PRESIDENT for military aid was based on partisan
statements entirely devoid of truth. At the time
the call was made Vicksburg was as quiet and peace
able as any city of the same population in the
United States, and has 80 remained to the present

indeed deplorable With Governor who has de-
cared that If not in Office he would not reside the
state II given the whole Of it; with corruption pre-

negro and carpet-baggers have control; with pro-

without interference from the Federal army.

articles.

The movement IN the grain market has been
fairly active but somewhat unsettled feeling
prevailed, values ruling irregular. The princi-
pal inquiry continues on speculative account
the shipping interest not doing anything in the
way Of buying. At the opening general feel
ing Of frmness was shown, and the leading
grains were firm and in demand Wednesday
and Thursday general weakness was shown,
the offerings both for immediate and future de-
livery being larger, while Eastern advices were
of an unfayorable tenor and holders did not
show any confidence in the future of the trade.
The result was a decline of about 1(01Lc
per bushel on both wheat and corn. During the
remainder of the week, however, the markets
were tirmer all round, and by the close the
greater part of the decline was recovered, as
will be seen by reference to the annexed quota
tons. The lower priGes brought out more
buyers, numerous buying orders being received
from the INTERIOR while March shorts
showed a general desire to provide for their
contracts. New York and Liverpool advices
were more favorable, with light receipts. Oats
ruled steady. Rye was active to the extent of
the offerings. Barley sold at very irregular
prices, according to date and location of re-
ceipts A large speculative business was re-
ported in wheat and corn in the way Of trans
ferring March and April contracts.
The following table shows the current quota
tons at the opening and at the close:

court.
"Yaas.'
He was yonng man of four and
twenty, and the ''duds" on his back
weren't enough in bulk to male
good sized mop. His hair was down

dirt all over him, and he moved about
with slow and solemn step.
"Well, sir resumed the court, you

rant says you have no home, no occu-
patton, and that you couldn't buy

Suppose, Mr.. Scott, that Storey Of

annoyed at the questioning.

MY TEACHER.

With longing look in her weary eyes
And half-unconscious sigh,
She gazed out on the fresh green grass
And the glorious azure sky.
The warning bell is in her hand,
AS she stands in the open door
But mute and still its shadow lies
In the sunshine on the floor
Her thoughts are wandering far away,
She takes no note of time.
1t matters not that the little clock
Is on the stroke of nine.
The dreamy round of waving trees,
And music of the stream,
Invite her from her task to turn,
And only gaze and dream.
The same old sound Of irksome toll
She follows without change,
And is it wrong her mind should seek
A wider, freer range ?
'Tis hard, indeed, to bind the thoughts
BY pleasing fancy led,
Within the narrow sphere that fate
Compels the feet to tread.
But soon the happy, joyous laugh,
And sounds of playful strife,
Recall her wayward thoughts again
To the humdrum work of life.
She sees group Of boys and girls
So busy at their play,
And turns her, with half-formed wish
That she were as free as they.
But courage, weary, toiling one,
Your field of work is wide
And, though your lot may oft seem dark
1t has its sunny side.
The little seeds you daily SOW
Will reach fertile soil
And by harvest bountiful
Repay you for your toll.

Iook here I'll give you a riddle.
Suppose certain Australian should
come to England F.; suppose he should
come into this room, how would
certain party behave? Would she
laugh Il? Would she faint?
"Oh, mother :" cried Clare, start
ing up, II know what he means. 1t
is Gilbert !"
"My dear, reflect" Interrupted the
widow, restraining her,
eyes, she's right :" exclaimed Jer-
ry, with a caper. 'It's Gilbert-Gil-
bert !"
Flying to the door, almost precipi,
tating himself over the balustrade,
he shouted "You Australian. come
up! You nugget of fidelity. come
here y
There was the bang Of door, a
firm, rapid tread on the stairs, and the
bearded stranger shot past Jerry into
the room.
Glare my poor, poor Clare!" he
cried.
"Gilbert!' she calculated, rushing,
into his arms.
The cobbler, afCer another caper,
discreelly retired to his shop, and
let off his superhuman excitement
by a charge at the boys in the street.
Gilbert Fernside, a rich Australian
cattle-owner, proved indeed u nugget
of fidelity. There was grand we'd
ding, to which Jerry was asked, but
he answered he was far too wise a
man to make himself uncomfortable.
Indeed, he sent the bride a pretty
gold bracelet as his wedding gift-a
present atfectionately treasured by
Glare.
Years after the young wife, i'll her
home at the antipodes, received the
following characteristic letter:
My DEAR-While writing this
I'm going off. When you get it, |
shall have lett. So this is to say
good-by Bless you am kinless
old man, and, you know, miser; but
Pm not going to give my money to
you. What would 81 1000 be to your
Australian digger? A drop in the
ocean. Besides, you can do without
it. No; it's going to the hospital for
children, to which | have long been
an unknown subscriber. Good-by
Bless you-bless you all! Your old
friend,
JERRY, COBBIER AND MIsER.
That letter, too, was treasured
and i'll the heart of the bright, cheer
full home, in the wealthy land, "Jerry,
the Miser," was ever held in cheerful
memory.
