FROM the Tulca tChilD Opinion,
Many persons have doubted the
existence III this province ofa man
who is 1856 years OF aye, but there
is nothing more certain, as is prov
cd by the particulars obtained by
the census collectors. Ills name
is Felix Rojas, and he was born
in 1910, and under the Spaniards
held the position Of seargent-ma-
ior in a line regiment. When Car
los the Third issued the celebra-
ted order to expel the jcsuits, Ro-
Jus took in charge two members
Of the order and carried them
from Linarcs to Santiago. This
venerable man remembers with
great clearncss all the events OF
those time, and to converse with
him about Chill is to listen to the
minute history Of nearly n century
and half. lie, passes our print

Ringing for the Water Boy.
From the Rnston Commercial Bulletin

A good story is told of vcr-
lant one who was passenger in a
railroad express train, and became
thirsty.
"Where's that ere boy with the
water can r. hequericd of his next
neighbor.
"He has gone forward to the
baggage car, suppose war the
reply.
"Wall, dye s'pose ! kin git him
back here agin ~
''Ccrtainly." said the other, ''you
have only to ring for him; = and he
nodded toward the bell line that
ran above their heads,
No sooner said than done. Be-
fore any one could prevent it,
Rustic had seized the line'and giv-
en- it a tremendous tug. The con-
sequences were at once obvious !;
three shrill whistles were heard,
half Il dozen brakcsmcn ran TO
their post, and the train came to
a standstill with sudtlcnness
that startled half the passengers
with astonishment, and caused ev-
cry man near a window to hoist it
and look out to see what was the
matter.
In a few minutes the conductor,
red and excited, came foaming in
to the ear to know who pulled
tn. .n.n "onn.
"llcrc, mister, this way; Fmtne
man." shouted The offender, draw
ing all eyes upon him.
"Youw said the conductor.
"What did you do it for?"
"Cos / wanted some water"
"Wanted some water ?"
"Sartain; | wanted the water

seat said I'd better ring for him,
as we do at the hotel, an so yam
kcd the rope, Will he be along
soon? An by the by what in thnn-
der be you stopping for!!'
The shout Of laughter that greet
cd this honest confession was too
much for the conductor, and he
had to wait until he got bis train
under way before he explained the
mysteries Of the bell rope TO his
verdant customer.

An Extra Session OF the Lcgisia-
turc.

The Meridian Gazette II Rcpub-
lican Journal, is opposed to the
proposition to convene the Lcyis-
lathrs in extra session, for the pur-
pose of correcting certain alleged
defects in the Registration Law.
The Gazette lndnlgcs in the fol-
lowing complimentary remarks TO
the majority of that illustrious
body.
We should seriously regret the
the existence of any emergency
which would render it ncccssaryt0

the load Of the Republican party

cause the present Legislature as

They arc more apt to increase the
confusion than TO repair the diff

rather strike for more jobs, aud

members and the promotion of
private schemes. Let us not have
this Legislature fastcn their raw
cnous claws upon us again. Let
us endure the evils we have, rather
than fly to worse diies. The great
est calamity that could bcfall the
State or the Republican party
would bc another session Of this
Legislature. They had a fair and
brilliant chance to put us OH high

the good Lord deliver us from this

The account of Il ease Of extreme
cruelty toward u yellow girl IN We
roma, Mississippi, given by Mr..
Nordhoff in one oi his letters from
that State, aud derived from y
Federal official, it is claimed by the
Mississippi people was greatly ex-
aggerated By Mr.. Nordhotf's intor-
nlant. Whether it was or no is OF
little consequence, as an isolated
case Of that character should not
have the effect Of prejudicing the
public against the population Of a
State. Cruelties quite US outrage
Gus occurring nearer home are daily
chronicled In the newspapers Of the
North. The Buffalo Express con-
tains an account OF the treatment
Of two helpless children, daughter
ind nephew Of q man named Rider,
who lived six miles from that city,
which is quite as revolving as any
thing that has been told as occur
ring In Mississippi. These unior-
tunate children were liearly starv-.
cd, frightfully burned with q red
hot poker, and beaten and kicked
until. their bodies were horrible to
look upon, and this continued y
long time before the neighbors in
terfered. Finally Rider was arres-
ted, and Justice of the Peace fin-
ed him the sum Of fifteen dollars
for his brutality. Subsequently,
however, when Rider attacked the
man who complained against him
with an AK and nearly killed him,
the ruflian was made to feel the se-
verify of the law and give $500
bull to keep the peace! All this
occurred in the State Of New York,

To the Members Of the Tax Paw
erS' League.

! herewith present to YOU a
brief account of some of the OBJ
Jects accomplished by the LEA
sue,' accompanied By certain
statements for your information
and consideration.
The excessive and oppressive
rate Of taxation, and the congie-
tlon that its proceeds were being
diverted from their legitimate OBJ
Jects to the use of corrupt officials,
while the county financial condit-
ion was becoming irretricysbly
ruined, induced the formation Of
this our league /; in November.
1874: the chief action at the meet
ing for organization, was a rcsolu-
ton to pay no more taxes ,(other
means Of reform having failed) un-
Ill a reduction oftaxes was accom-
plished, together with a guarantee
against their further misapplica-
tion: and throngh the organization
of. of.tax-payers, to sal,jcct the county
records tO a rigid investigation.
Through this investigation the
frauds in tax collecting, Of which
VIC had been before only morally
convinced, were proved as certain
and infinitely greater than we had
ever suspected. A system of pee
ulation So hidden as 10 have no ey-
ldence outside vi the offices Of the
Tax Collector and State Auditor
yet 50 great us to absorb in two
years near SlOO,OOO vi our county
taxes. was discovered, and checked
at least and but for the discharge
by Judge Shacklefnrd of oui Grailal
Jury last April term OF Cwdft,
while engaged in investing this
crime, certain punishment would
have vcV n awarded. As it Is there
is a stuiig probability Of Il consld-
cradle portion Of this money being
recovered.
In addition to the discovery and
checking Of this fraudulent prac-
tice, through our organization, our
refusal to pay taxes Of 1874, has not
only been successful, but has been
placed in such shape that there is

CUTTING A DIDo. ."--This phrase
is older thar most people imagine.
Doyou call to mind the story of Di-
do. Princess Tyre? Her husband,
Arcebas, priest Of Hercules, was
murdered for his wealth by King
Pygmalion brother to Dido. The
widowed Princess succeeded so
well in hiding her sorrow that she
was enabled to escape from Tyre,
bearing with her the wealth of her
husband and accompanied by
number Of disaffected mobiles. AT
ter a variety Of adventures they
landed upon the coast Of Africa,
where Dido bargained with the ma
tives fer as much land as she could
inclose in BULBS hide. Selecting
a large tough hide she caused it to
be cut in the smallest possible
threads, with which she enclosed
a large tract Of country, ON which
the city cathage began to rise. The
natives were bound BY the letter of
their bargain, and allowed the
cunning queen to have her way !;
after that, when any one played
a sharp trick, they said he had
" cut dido" That was almost
three thousand years ago, and the
saying has come down 10 our day.
