The veil was tsken- And her calm pale face
Smiled sadly me as abe said good-by;
No qriver on the lip my gaze could trace.
No tear-drop glistening in her young bright eye.
Twas the black veil. And yet could not see
Upon that radiant face one sign of SORROW.
She parted; just rs oft she'd said to me,
an meet you at the same place dear, tomorrow.
But now the veil was taken. And ste said
With just her olden thrill Of girlish laughter,
" can't come out tomorrow; but instead
I'll meet you here, dear Charlie, the day after"
And so the veil taken. All in vain
I'd tried upon her bonnet top to cock il;
So drew it of, to kiss; ran for the train.
And took the veil-Jane's veil-home in my pocket
Two hair-pins to her chignon fastened it,
Which very quickly had disconnected;
On these fncontinent CHANGED to sit
Then how took the veil 1 recollected,

| acre. The corn was planted alb )ut May
18th, twenty inches apart On the bed
and kept clean with cultivation, and
bedded with the pillow when sheeting.
In comparing the eleven rows planted
without fertilizers, but with lime alone,
with the balance of the field, which had
received liberal dressing of Atlantic
company fertilizer, no perceptible diff
ference could be detected, proving
that the vegetable matter furnished by
the decomposition of tie vetch vines
contained a sufficient supply of nitro
gen for the sustenance of the corn crop
growing on the land, and the grain pro-
duced equaled in every particular,
both as to quantity and quality, that
which was taken from the other part of
the field, which had received liberal
dressings of highly concentrated am
moniacal manure.
The lesson, therefore, which this OK
pertinent appears to me to teach is, that
the true ant of land improvement con-
sists in planting green crops for the
supply of the nitrogen, and using COM
mercial lime and phosphates for fur
nishing the ash elements. A systematic
application of this principle will at
small cost reclaim many of the waste
places, and bring back prosperity to the
farmers of our state.
He who can reap forty five bushels of
,orn to the acre will want for little else.
Corn and meat in abundance will secure
abor at all times, and the field which
las been made rich enough to make the
'orn will certainly the next year pro-
luce paying crop Of cotton. Similar
experiments to the above, with other
inds Of green crops, have recently

AN EMBEZZLER AND CORRUPTIONIOT.
Why did Howe Import Settle into
the State and have him NOmi-
mated for District Attorney

The question has puzzled a number of
persons, why Mark Brady, who is a Jealous
Republican, and, as prosecuting Attor-
ney, is as efficient as any other person OF
his party in the State, was discarded, and
Settle, an imported darkey STRIPPING,
nominated in his place? The Grenada
Republican solves the mystery. 1t says
in effect that Howe has embezzled public
monies collected from the taxpayers of
Pamela county, and he has use for a
supple tool in the office of prosecuting
Attorney, who will not permit him to be
prosecuted for the offence. The Republi-
can is Radical printing organ, and is
good authority on that subject. 1t says
JAS. 7, Settle, of Pamela Countrywide
is he? This question has been asked lis
by more than hundred people, and rs
50 many desire the same information, we
here submit what We know of our own
knowledge and what we have heard.
Settle is bright mulatto, apparently
about q years of age, of good address,
and was imported from Washington, d,
c., by A. K. Howe, Of Pamela county,
to canvass this Congressional District in
his (Howe's) interest. In part payment
therefor, as we are informed, he was to
receive the nomination of District
Attorney for the Twelfth Judicial District.
Howe has succeeded in getting him
nominated, Notwithstanding Settle is not
citizen of the State of Mississippi, not
having resided here the length Of time
that the law requires.
Querv-Hasn't Howe's Indebtedness to
Pamela county something to do with the
nomination of the District Attorney? We
think it has.
For as sure as the sun rises in the east,
Just as sure are we that suit will be
brought against A. r. and w. W. Howe
for the recovery of the moneys which
trey Withhold from the Treasury of Pamela
county. Settle, ifelected, has to prosecute
these cases.
Had Howe this in his mird when he
worked to secure Settles nomination
Did he not think, II can settle this little
matter of money very easily, can | but
secure the District Attorney" From
Howe's previous action in this matter, we
are inclined to think that he had this
thing in view first, last and all the time.

The Metropolitan Police Bill.
A PET RADICAL SCHEME.

We trust our readers did not pass over
lightly this iniquitous measure, which
was Endorsed by Radical caucus at the
last session Of the Legislature, and was
defeated only by the resolute efforts Of
the Democrats, through cooperation with
number of conservative Republicans,
who have since been read out Of the
party If the Radicals get control Of the
next Legislature, they will no doubt re-
yiye the measure and attempt its passage,
not only for Warren county, but for
Kinds, Noxubee, and every other place
where the whites have made themselves
especially obnoxious to the leaders of the
Republican party. 1t vii. L.. 4'ss:s1efir'
bered that the bill in question constituted
Warren county ga police district for the
State" any portion Of which was liable to
be oyerrun by the force organized under
the law
Than this measure, nothing could have
been conceived more despotic. 1t vested
supreme power in the hands Of the Gov.
ernor 1t authorized him to appoint
Commissioners who were to organize the
military establishment. There was no
limit to his power, nor check upon his
prerogativa He was to appoint whom
he pleased and dismiss ut his will. And
the creatures of his caprice were to APP
point the officers who would command
the force. The standing force was to
consist of one hundred men, but it was
to be indefinitely increased at the discre.
ton OF the Metropolitan Board for special
seryice-the Board itself being the judge
of the necessity.
To support this establishment, a special
tax was to be levied upon the property
Of the city and county. The cost would
have been enormously oppressive. The
three Commissioners alone were to re.
ccivo $4,000 a year. The officers in
command of the police were to receive
$500 and $500, captains and sergeants,
respectively, and the patrolmen, or pri-
Yates, 800 month. The city was to
provide Office accommodations for the
Commissioners, and station houses,
equipments, etc, for the force. The
whole cost would not have been less than
5000, 900 per annum.
BE it remembered that this was Rad
ical caucus measure, pet scheme of
Ames, and that it sleeps only to be re-
vived and put in force to organize hell in
the State, if the Radicals carry the Leg
islature.

taxes not solpaid, the sum of thirty per

imposed for purposes outside Of its

therefore there is no moral obligation rest

intend to submit, it will be we'll for them
to be prepared for the final day, so as to
