"A domestic employed at the resi-
dence of one of our citizens recently
went into the cellar to get some pota-
toes or bagas or something that didn't
have faucet in 1t, and left the spigot
open distributing some five gallons of
choice wine over the cellar floor.
When you draw baeas through a fau-

you close the spigot.
We stepped into the Marble
Works of Messrs. Hodge & Chantron,
in Centralia, yesterday. This new in
dustry is meeting with excellent sue
cess, having very many orders on hand
which the proprietors are filling as
rapidly as possible. We saw several
beautiful headstones and tablets pre-
pared, and ready for removal which
speak highly for the artists of the es-
Enlistment one particularly just fin
ished for the grave of Mrs Libbie
Moore, wife of Mr. n. 7. Moore, of
Centralia. The design is elegant,
quite small and extremely neat, being
only twenty-nine inches in height /; of
the finest Italian marble 1t is goth
ic block surmounted with four semi
elliptical gables, and the whole sur
mounted with an octagon apex. A
photograph of the deceased is very
solidly embedded in the block, encased
in metal case which cen be opened at
pleasure, and perfectly protected from
the beating of storms. Underneath
are the letters "Libbie' in beautiful
characters. On each side is finely
carved rose, and on the rear of the
stone beautifully executed dove
The whole work is superior, and speaks
we'll for the institution which employs
only frst-class workmen.
IF there is any one thing we love
better than another it is to see one
feel good, whether we feel good or no
1t did us "a power of good' to see
Jack feel so undescsibably happy the
backstoop of last week. We had done
our growing in fine shape and the longi-
tude Of Jacks phiz completely wiped
out it's latitude Then came change
over the spirit of bis political dream !!
Jack lighted up like a calcium light
on promontory, and he began to
enquire with a grin for roosters in the
Reporter Office, knowing we'll enough
that if we'd ha' had 'em, we'd ha'
had 'em growing He was so full of
unadulterated JOY that we feared for
his safety. If he had been bigger our
fears would. have been allayed--so pc
tite and so happy. We wanted to
hook fatiron to the endboard of his
pants to hold him to earth lest he
should soar to heaven and be lost
among the angels where they dom
vote for Governor but we could not
get near enough to hook onto him.
He was like devils darning needle
scooting over mill pond.-But-but
you just ought to see him now! Those
returns have quit "soing tother way"
Jack is just as happy-has just as
much 'ssand'' but he's heavier on in
fation than on Governor. He is more
at home as wet nurse for the "rag
baby than he is looking at the roost-
ers we've pasted on the walls Of our
sanctum. jacks capital, but 'RAH FOR

what the caucus did do, and what the
committee did accept until the record
shall be published with the answer of the
committee. We now hold the position
that neither the Governor nor the Repub-
ican party are bound by the compromise
to call special session. We are per-
fectly free to 60 in to special session, pro-
vided the Conserva tiyes will propose
terms satisfactory to the Republicans.
Let the Conservative members of the
Legi stature unite in a request to the Gov
ernor to call special session. Let them
catalogue the subjects upon which they
desire to act by way of Limitation" as
suggested by the Picayune. Let these
members bind themselves by their sign
manual to vote for these measures and
against any act outside Of this catalogue.
If this schedule of subjects be satisfactory
to the Republicans they can have no OBJ
lection to special session, while there
are many reasons why they should desire
it. Let the Conservative members, then,
propose their sch edule of '.limitation,"
and we will discuss them with the Pic
dyune in the most amiable spirit.

the very first officer they pronounce elect

they had another chance they would do
better, and are anxious to have an extra

With the Democrats reform measures

The party promises everything that is

In the States we have instanced, not to 60

that whenever Democrats come into power

DEATH OF JOHN mitchell.

The cable dispatches of yesterday an
nounce the death of Mr.. John Mitchell, a
gentleman who has lately been again
brought to notice by being returned as a
member of the English House of Com
mons from the County Tipperary, Ireland.
Mr.. Mitchell was born at Derry, in 1916,
and entered the field of journalism by
becoming associate editor of the Dublin
Nation. He afterwards published paper
called the United Iishman, which paper
was suppressed by the British govern
ment, and Mitchell himself sentenced to
fourteen years Punishment to Australia,
in 184S. He escaped from Australia in
1854 and came to New York. He soon
after settled in Tennessee, where he publ
lished a paper called the Southern Citizen.
At the outbreak of the rebellion against
the United States Mitchell heartily cs-
poused the rebel side. In 1861 he became
one of the editors of the Richmond
Examiner, which was then the most violent
of secession papers.
The conservative members of the Home
Rule party in Ireland considered it rather
misfortune that so extreme q man az
Mitchell should have been returned from
Tipperary. He had said that he never
would sit in Parliament, and Mr.. Disraeli
said he never should. The action the
Prime Minister proposed led Mitchell to
say at Tipperary:
Allusions have been made to the steps the
government is about to take-that is, the
British government over in London. There
is q man over there in London. He writes
novels, and he is of opinion that he knows
better who Tipperary should elect than you
do. That il what he thinks.
This is given as specimen of his style
of stirring up the people to no good pur-
pose. While the British government could
have been magnanimous and pardoned
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-03-21

Mitchel's offense the conservative element
of the Home Rulers believed he was not
the sort of man calculated to further their
interests. If another election had been
ordered it is probable that Mitchell would
have been again returned, however with
the same result. Death, it seems, has in
terposed and set at rest the question so
far as Mr.. Mitchell is concerned. He
was a man of considerable ability,
and he has led wild and adventurous
life. He was man nervous and thirsting
for excitement. He will rest quiet be-
meath the handful of earth in the green
land of his nativity.
