Richmond Eva. } Dispatch: There ar
rived here yesterday TIVE little girls,
named respectively Mollie and Lizzie
Kelly, in search of their father, from
whom they had been separated since their
babyhood. What is remarkable is the
fact that, though the oldest is but 7 and
the youngest but s years of age, they had
travelled from San Francisco, California.
distance of three thousand miles and
upward, by themselves. They are both
very handsome and intelligent little girls.
Their history, as related by themselves,
is exceedingly interesting. Shortly after
the birth of the younger the mother died,
and their paternal relative having Joined
the United States army, they were taken
in charge by the Sisters of Charity in San
Francisco, and by them carefully raised
TO their present age. Their only recollec-
ton of their farther was that his name
was Kelly.
His first name they had no knowleae of
but, learning that he was living near kch-
mond, they were supplied with a photo
graph by which they might identify him.
Money was furnished by some benevolent
persons to pay their fare here; and, re-
lying on the kindness of the conductors
on the railroads traversing the continent,
they started on their mission in search Of
their father just one week ago. At Hun
tington the little waits were taken in
charge by Major n. II. Hotchkiss, by
whom they were treated with the most
generous and fartherly kindnes. He
brought them to this city, and by the aid
Of the Sisters of Charity and Col. Bishop,
Of the Exchange Hotel, they sueceededin
finding their long-lost father. The meet
ing between the daughters and the father
was very affecting.

The result arrived at BY Professor
L0mbroso on anthropOmetry and physi-
OgnOmy, from an extensive range of OBJ
servations of criminals, are worthy of
study. Among sotherF things the author
concludes that criminals, have in general
Il greater stature and weight, more ample
chest, and darker hair than the normal;
that they present a series of 'sub-micro-
cephali (53 to 81 double the normal;
that the index Of the Uranium tends to
the brachicephalic, especially in assassins;
that there is frequent cranial asymmete-
ry; that, tested by the dynamometer,
criminals show less force than the normal,
but greater than lunatics; that, more
often than in sane people, the eyes are
chestnut or dark, and the hair is thick
and black, especially in murderers that
incendiaries, and still more thieves, have
very often the iris gray. and always a
stature, weight, muscular force, and era
NAL capacity less than assassins or homo
cides. Professor Lombroso further re-
marks that prognathism, abundance and
curliness of hair, scarcity of beard,
frequent dark color of skin, oxycephalus,
obliquity of the eyes, smallness of crani-
UNI, development of jaws, retiring fore
head, large size of ear, similarity of the
two sexes, and scant muscular force, are
points of resemblance between the Euro
pean criminal and the Austral or Mongo-
liam man.

. CONCLUSION.


In conclusion we beg to assure your
honorable bodies that in thus exercising
the sacred right Of petition, we have not
intended to cast any reflection upon this
or former Legislatures, nor have we been
influenced by any motive Of gaining Il
party advantage. The members OF the
convention which presents this petition
belong to all parhe~. We regard the
great interests Of the state and her peo-
pie, so much impoverished by the abuses
we complain of, as too high and sacred to
be made the subject of party contests.
Mississippi has a soil unequalled in
fertility and in the variety of its products
Our climate is genial and healthy. Ev-
cry element OF high prosperity and of
material and moral advancement exists.
But notwithstanding all this, every bust
ness is depressed, the people discomfort
ed and paralyzed. We have the benumb-
ing influence of despair and threatened
ruin in lieu of the healthy and vigorous
activity and energy of hopeful progress.
And there yet remains the saddest truth
of all. There is distrust and want of
mutual confidence between the different
classes Of our population and a deep and
wide gulf separating the rulers and the
ruled. The taxpayers do not desire
this, and they now make this respectful
petition and appeal to the Legislature in
the hope that that body may receive it
in the spirit in which it is made, and
that such action may result az will speed
lily put Mississippi on the high road to
prosperity which shall bless all classes
and conditions and extend to every sec
ton of the State.

it after first paying all prior warrants or
pered by the Board.
The necessities Of the people demand
further time within which to pay their
taxes for the year 1874 A delay of
sixty or ninety days would afford great
and needful relief; and if then the lands
of delinQuents have to be sold, the pc
Rod OF redemption should be two years
and the damages twenty-five per cent. for
each year.
We feel constrained to call your atten-
ton to the many thousand acres of land
now held by the State under sales for
taxes IN arrears and unpaid. Practical
ly, these lands are burden to the State,
and useless for all revenue purposes. =
Many Of them were sold during the late
war, and some in 1S4S. If the titles
c puld be depended upon at all, it would be
wise to husband the resources thus pro-
vided and await the developments of the
future; but the tax titles, we may fairly
assume, are all worthless The great
object to be secured is, to make these
lands available for purposes of revenue,
and we suggest that the owners or parties
interested therein, be allowed to redeem
them on payment of the State tax for
1874 and if not redeemed by the 1st
July next, that they be sold to any one
upon the same terms. Nor would we re-
restrict any one as to the right to pur-
| chase; and would allow any man to buy
in any quantity he might desire. This
policy would defeat the purpose of those
who suffer their lands to be held by the
State because Of the invalidity of hel
tax titles. .ls

Hand Spun Silks.

The frequent disappointments which
ladies experience in the wear of black
silks are partly attributed to the use OF
loaded chemical dyes (Which cause the
fabric to cut instead of pure vegetable
dyes, and partly to the increasing ten
dency of late years to produce silk
goods in factories by means of power
looms. Every effort, however has been
attended with but doubtful success,
and it has been found almost impossi-
BILE to produce them free from that
crisp harsh touch so common to the
ordinary make of silks. Moreover, it
is foreign to the character of the French
weaver to work in factories, and all at
tempts of manufacturers to induce the
best workmen to do so have proved un-
availing. This accounts for the supe-
rior excellence of the hand-spun cache
mire silks, each piece of which is made
in the good old d-fashioned way by skilled
weavers on looms at their own homes,
thus fulfilling the true conditions un-
der which fine silks can alone be pro-
duced, insuring more reliable wear,
rendering them less apt to wear shiny,
and giving them that soft, mellow, satin
finish so sought after by all consumers.

LET Us TRY TO BE HAPPY.

Let us try to be happy! We may, if we Will,
Find some pleasures in life to o'erbalance the
i'll;
There never was an evil, if well understood,
But what, rightly managed, would turn to a
coed.
II we were bu. as ready to look to the light
As we are to sit moping because it is night,
We should own it truth, both in word and in
deed,
That who tries to be happy is sure to succeed.
Let us try to be happy, Some shades Of re-
gret
Are sure to hang round, which we cannot for
get;
There are times when the hghtest Of spirits
must bow,
And the sunniest face wear cloud ON its brow
We must never bid feelings, the purest and
best
Lie blunted and cold in our bosom at rest;
But the deeper our own griefs the greater our
need
To try to be happy, lest other hearts bleed
Let us try to be happy, 1t Is not for long
We shall cheer on each other with counsel OF
song;
II we make the best of our time that We may,
There is much we can do to enliven the way;
Let us only in earnestness each do our best
Before God and our conscience, and trust for
the rest;
Still taking this truth, both in word and in
deed,
That who tries to be happy is sure TO succeed.

generally happens, during such severe
weather as we have recently had, that
the water in the pipe connecting the
water back with the boiler, freezes, in
which case all escape of hot water or
steam from the water back is cut of.
OF course when this Is the case, as soon
as the range fire is lighted in the morn
ing, the steam is generated faster than
the ice in the pipe can melt, and the
result is an explosion of the water back.
Under this condition of things it would
seem necessary, in order to avoid such
explosions First, to keep the range
fire in all night in severe weather /;
secondly, when this is not done, to see
that the connecting pipe is free from
obstruction before lighting the fire !;
and lastly, to have an extra safety pipe
attached to the water back, having a
cutoff, this latter to be opened when
the fire is lighted, and kept open until
the connecting pipe with the boiler is
freed from its icy obstruction. Appar-
emily ignorance and carelessness are
the most fruitful sources of these
kitchen boiler explosions.
