we recently puDlisneu u letter
from u Boston man, the agent Of q
New England manufacturing cs-
tablishmcnt, who happened to be
IN Yazoo City, Miss, at the time
of the recent disturbance there, IN
which 1t was shown that the.whole
trouble was caused by an ignorant
mob OF negroes who " ere instiga-
ted to violence by a rascnlly car
pct-hagger by the namo Of Morgan
who is the Sheriff of the county.
Later we published q letter from II
prominent gentleman residing In
that place, who gave Mcisto prove
that II Is impossible for white men
to obtain tho protection Of the

are selected for grand and petit

a responsible citizen Of lssaquena

illustrates the manner in which
the white people, who pay almost
the whole Of the taxes, are robbed
to I'LL the pockets of carpet-bag
and negro officials. Whcnitis re-
membercd that the voting strength
Of the negroes in Mississippi great

that hitherto the cologcd vote has
been generally controlled by poll

having submitted to the most ex-
orbiiant taxation Under fraudu-
lent pretences, are compelled to
lpay substantially the same taxes

One of the ~ dest things con-

and intricate problem OF
"FIvE DOLLARS AND COsTs!n
and had just begun,to learn how 10
sound the lengths and depths Of

when this terrible Democratic
storm swept him from tho bench
and consigned hinf again to the

and the bow, and again take up

ful to contemplate the results OF a
victory which thus drives m Afri-
can OF such decided talent 10 the
shades of private life. Two years
more OF Radical rule would doubt
less have lifted Judge Horton to
the Supreme bench. He was a
leader amongst his people, aud as
soon as he had mastered a few big
dictionary words, would have been
considered competent for any Office
they could give him. After life's

How to Sleep.

We are often asked for prescription
for preternaturally wakeful persons
The "high pressure principle. on which
many OF our business men work their
brains and abuse their bodies, begets an
irritable condition of the nerves and a
morbid state of mind very antagonstic
to quiet and refreshng sleep. Such per-
sons will often 60 to bed weary and ex-
haustcd, but cannot sleep or sleep dream
lily and fitfnlty' or lie awake for hours,
unable to Sleep at all. We have tried
many expedents TO induce sleep, with
more or less success, and have read Of
many receipts which prove better in
theory than in practice. The very best
method we have yet discovered, is that
of counting. Breathe deep aud slowly.
without any straining effort,D and with
every expiration count one, two, three,
etc. up to hundred. Some will be
asleep before they can county fifty in
this manner. Others will count ten.
twenty or thirty, and then forget them
selves, and cease counting. In such cases
always commence again at once Very
few persons can cunt a hundred and
end themselves awake; but should this
happen, repeat the dose until cured. -

TROUBLE XN THE MINES.
Another Mass Meeting TO be
Held.

MAuCH CHUNK, PA, April 3. The
feeling here tonight is more quiet,
but there is still an uneasy feeling in
the mining towns.
Merchants who formed part of the
sheriff's posse on Wednesday and
Thursday have incurred the displeas-
ure of the miners. "A grocer's wagon
going to Ebervale to deliver goods ON
Thursday was stoned out of town and
the driver obliged to return without
delivering the goods. Several of the
merchants who were ordered out to
assist the sheriff, fearing to incur the
ill-will of the miners, refused to go,
preferring to risk the penalty. This
refusal, however, was not much thro'
fear of personal violence at the hands
OF the miners, but rather for fear the
trade would suffer.

HENRY WARD BEECHEH
Is Attacked with Vertigo.

New YORK, April 3.-On return
ing home from testifying, Henry
Ward Beecher was attacked with a
violent vertigo that for while was
very threatening. 1t is said by his
friends that he has been threatened
with appoplexy for the last three
years. 1t will be remembered that in
his examination before the Plymouth
church investigation he explained his
statement made during the Tilton
excitement, of his probably preaching
his last sermon, by saying that he
was threatened with congestion Of
the brain, and did not know at what
moment he might terminate his ca
reer on earth. This attack to-day
would indicate that he told the truth.
The plaintiff, however, claims have
proof that at that very time, when
most respondent, he took out two
large life insurance policies for the
cenefit of the family, and must have
sought to defraud the companies If
he tells the truth now.
