Tw0REGULAR BOURBONs.

OF all the old Bourbons in the world,
Senator MoRroN and BEN. Buffers
son-in-law, AMES of Mississippi, are the
most intractablc. Neither can learn
anything by experience, and both per
sist in carrying out these old blasted
ideas, for the purpose of retaining power.
MoRroS, undaunted by Psst defeat and
failure in his efforts to make votes,
by waving the bloody shirt, is still
at his old tricks In the Senate,
and AME> evidently Is behind his back
urging him, if possible, to accomplish Il
revolution in Mississippi, and, by over
throwing the will of the people, main
tain hm in power 10y L. 5. soldiers. 1t
is passing strange that these malcontCnts
cannot learn that the day of Louisi
outrHges has past. Very strange that
in these days of progress they cannot be
tOIlN llNtN liiaN II - Ibl tNtll necessary
for Senators BAYARD. THURMAN and
others of that ilk to overthrow them
in debate and expose to the
people their sinister designs. Still it
seems It's so, and they will never be
hushed until next fall, when the people
will SO completely silenceall such foolish
ness that If again attempted it will only
be the signal for general decision. But
ErHRIAM is joined to his idols; he will
have to be left alone and permitted to
hang himself after his own manner, and
about 100000 will rejoice to be in at
the death.

Yielding Up the Ghost at the age
ozone Hundred and Seven
teen Years.

/ correspondent writing from Bloom
ington, Ind, tells of the death of William
Ross, who was probably the oldest man
in the United States. He was born II
the year 1853, in Guilford county, North
Carolina, and on the 18th of May would
have been III years old. Two Of the
earlier years OF his life were spent IN
babyhood during the last years of the
second king of the Brunswick line, In the
reign of George II. The average ''old-
est inhebitant" counts it quite respect
able feat to recall memories associated
with the coronation of Queen Victoria,
but this venerable old gentleman could,
up to within few days of his death, let
his memory travel back to the days OF
/ three of her predecessors, tO-wIt: Kings
George III, and George ~, and King
! William ".
Mr.. Ross was a lad only eleven years
old when Robson and Watt were first
theorizing as to whether a carriage could
be made which would furnish accomoda-
ton for passengers and be drawn by
steam power, and was getting to be an
old man when George Stephenson con-
structed the first locomotive. MIR. Ross
told the writer last summer that he dis
tinctly remembered the battle of Gull
ford Court house, of Revolutionary fame.
He was then a young man, somewhere
in the neighborhood Of eighteen years old,
and witnessed the fight from his fathers
barn-door Gov. Dunning informed the
writer that he knew Mr.. Ross more than
fifty years ago in North Carolina, and
that he was venerable-looking old gen.
tleman at that time His recollection is
distinct that his father was year or so
the Junior of Mr.. Ross, and as his father
would have been about one hundred and
sixteen years old had he lived till now,
it follows that Ross pretensions were
not false The Governor and Hon. T. l..
D. Mitchell paid their annual visit to the
old man on the Sabbath preceding his
death. All other evidences aside, no
one could look upon the sad, wan and
worn face of the old man and disbelieve.
Ninety-nine out of every one hundred
would have believed him had he, at any
time during the last few years Of his life,
told them that he was verging closely on
to two hundred. An old, old man,
whose shriveled skin seemed to be hiding
bones already in process of decay, and
whose whole frame like an old and I'M
slightly tenement house, was no longer
anything but a wretched shell, was a
sight that proclaimed his length of days
more potently than a thousand trum-
pet-tongued witnesses.
