Fourth of July Celebration!

The proceedings of the meeting held
in this place, on Saturday evening. last,
to make arrangements for the celebra-
ton ofthe 4th of July, will be found in
another place. We hope all our citi-
zens, irrespective of party, will take
sufficient interest in the matter to make
it a grand success. The people OF An
drew county, we are informed, in days
that are past, have honored themselves
and their country in honoring this day,
and we hope the s~lumbering fires of pa
triotism will be revived, and burn again
with the ardor of the days of old. No
other day in the year is so appropriate
for all parties to meet tremendously on
4 platform common to all, and we hope
the occasion will be improved as be-
comes good citizens. 1t has a good Ell
feet on society, everybody feels better
for its due observance, and gives great
er faith in the perpetuity Of IL instltu-
tons.
A second preliminary meeting is to
be held at the Court House on Saturday
night next, for the purpose OF complet-
ing arrangements, to which all are lnVi-
ted. and which we hope will be gen
orally attended.

FISIIING.- Fishing is an interesting
sport of childhood, and often pleasantly
and profitably engaged in by those of
maturcr years. In times like the pres
ent, when the country is devastated by
the grasShOppers, many may spend a
profitable afternoon on the banks of our
large rivers, which, at this season,
abound in fish, but are deferred from
doing so because an impression prevails
thai il is a violation of the law. Fish
in this market meet with ready sale, at
good prices, ard we would like to see
the business encouraged. For the in
formation OF such we copy the follow
ING section of the new fish law:
SEC. >. No person shall be allowed
to place, erect OF maintain, II cause to
be maintained, across any of the waters
Of this State, or in front of the mouth
of any stream emptying into any other
stream, any seine, net, trammCl net, bag
weir, 1ish-dam, trap or other similar de-
vice or obstruction, which shall prevent
the free passage of fish up or down, in
any such water or stream nor shall any
person or persons be permitted to use
any such means or devices, for the pur-
pose of catching fish IN waters solely
upon the premises of other persons,
without the written consent of such
owner OF wners; nOr shall any person,
during the months of July and August
of any year, by means of such device,
catch or take any fish, in any of the wa
ters of this State. Any person who shall
violate the provisions of this section
shall be guilty of Il miSdemeanor, and
upon conviction be fined in any sum
noa exceeding five hundred dollars, and
shall stand committed until the fine and
costs of process and trial be paid.

FROM announcements made in the
St. Joe dailics, it seems that sports of
that city are shortly to have a grand
shooting match. Our readers are doubt
less aware what constitutes these shoot
ING matches. The sport who can kill
the greatest number of birds on the
wing, let loose from Il trap one ut 4
time, is the winner--the petty, contempt
tlble hero of the hour. We look upon
this and all kindred bird killing not
only as mcalled tor by any interest or
good of society, but rs 4 species of
~wantOnness, cruelty and barbarism de-
serving the dctcstation and contempt of
all right thinking mea! 1t is a crime in
and of itself, without the shadow of
p~alliation. Birds were created for
nobler and better purposes. Those
loafing sports who indulge in this bru-
tai pastime should be made to feel the
full force of the penalties of the law:
and If there be no law against such pro-
ceedings there ought to be, for the cred
it of human nature.

THE GOLDEN RULE IN DE kALB.-

THE GOLDEN RULE IN DE KALB.-
Aweek or two since we published an
article from the Maysville Register to
the effect that the farmers of Dekalb
had united together for the purpose of
resisting the incursions of foreign herd
ers into that county. Since then they
have retracted from their position, the
necessitous condition of the cattle own
ers of the counties desolated by grass
hoppers being so apparent that the mat
ter assumed the shape of charity and
human feeling, and they now offer no
further resistance. This is but doing as
they should. and is creditable to them;
but we doubt the propriety and justice
of their action in the first place.

E,ocfs khouf suicide.

DIR. WINTER, in his Borderland Of
Insanity has chapter which treats
of suicides, which, contrary to pre-
valent notion, are wholly unconnected
with fogs and depressing climates.
Sometimes a person determined to
destroy himself Will wait months and
years for an opportunity of executing
the deed in the particular manner be
marked out for himself, and the very
inclinations to suicide may be removed
bv withdrawing the particular objects
that would awaken the idea. Thus
man who has tried to drown himself
will be under no temptation to cut his
throat. Example, it IS well known,
Is a powerful cause of incitement to
the suicidal act. We were once told
by physician that hypochrondrlacal
patient used to visit him invariably
the day after reading the report OF
suicide in the daily papers, possessed
by morbid fear OF initiating the act
OF which he read. Sir Charles Bell,
surgeon Of MiddIesex Hospital, was
one day describing to a barber who
was shaving him patients unSuccess-
fuI attempt to cut his throat and on
the barber's request, pointed out the
anatomy Of the neck, showing how
easily the act might have been accom-
plished. Before the shaving opera
tion was completed the barber had
left the shop and cut his throat ac-
cording TO Sir Charles Bells instruc-
tions. Sometimes there is an epidemic
Of suicides, as at Versailles, in 1893,
when out Of small population thir-
teen hundred persons destroyed them
selves III one year or as in the Hotel
des Invalides in Paris, when six Of the
inmates hanged themselves on q GER
tain cross bar within a fortnight.
Fery often this disease is hereditary,
and at a certain age the members Of
one family will all in turns evince the
suicidal tendency, while even children
of very tender years have been known
TO end their short lives by their own
act, from force Of example.
All cases Of determined suicide are
characteristic of confirmed insanity ;
whereas, in cases Of impuIsiye insaui-
ty, the perpetrator will often regret
the act before it is completed and en-
deavored to save his life, as did Sir
Samuel Romilly, thus demonstrating
that the very attempt may affect the
cure Of the disordercd brain. The
months Of March, June and July are
the favorites with men September,
November and January for women
in which they voluntarily end their
lives. In youth, men hang them
selves in the prime Of life use fire
arms and when old, revert to hang
Ing. Women usually prefer Ophelia's
muddy death Poisoning is adopted
by the very young Of both sexes.
