Ye gods, think of paying nearly twenty-five

The Mississippi Troubles.

The trouble at Frar's Point, Mississippi,
reported by telegraph yesterday morning,
seems, according to associated press re-
ports, to have grown out of tho contest for
the sheriff's place in the county. Brown,
a negro, the present incumbent and repub
lican candidate for reelection, went to
Memphis, last week, and purchased al lot
of ammunition, which he distributed among
his friends. On Saturday night the demo-
cratic conservative convention nominated
a ticket in opposition to the ticket headed
by Brown, and Senator Alcorn, who was
present, being called upon for speech,
criticised Browns official career in severe
manner. Brown became much excited and
demanded the privilege of replying, but the
chairman, fearing bloodshed, adjourned
the meeting. Brown then announced that
he would call a meeting, Monday night,
and the negroes are said TO have threatened
to burn the town. The whites sent to
Helena for assistance, aud armed men
went down during yesterday and last
evening. AT last accounts a collision be-
tween the two races was imminent, and
many white women and children had left,
Senator Alcorn sending ,his daughter to
Helena for safety. 1t was reported that
the negroes, 800 strong, were within few
miles of the town, and that Gen. Chalmers,
who was in command of the whites, went
out. met them and gave them ten minutes
to dispense, when the negroes retired some
three miles and again organized. General
Chalmers again advanced and ordered them
to disperse, which they did, and il was sup
posed that they were awaiting reinforce
ments. l'

Our reason for fearing that the Cross

as factor IN the problem of political re-

constitute conventions, and conventions
declare principles and select candidates.
The platform and the figure heads stand
for the party, and the party rules the
country--if it gets votes enough There
fore 1t seems clear that wisely-radical re-
formers in the political field must go to the
root of demoralization, when it appears,
and put down this petty potentate-extir-
pate this primary bad force in politics. A
well-trained corps of such tools of Il
| shrewd political manager, intent upon
carrying his point, will do more to give
a wrong direction to public affairs than all
the essays and speeches and theorizng of
political pessimists can counterfeit. The

NUMBER u.

ton of any kind was placed over the
mouth of it, for Sister Sniffcn had no
children to fall into it and she knew that
Jemima Ann hated water worse than she
did dogs. The edge of The curb was
overgrown with grass; and poor little
sister, singing and dancing through the
garden, looking up at the birds, who
seemed to be playing tag in the air, had
suddenly plunged into the cold, cruel
water ... -
Charley knew of this well, and he al
most flew there. He was only just in
time. One tiny hand was dimly seen far
down below the surface of the water,
slowly sinking for the last time. He threw
himself flat on the ground, he plunged his
arm down in the water, and he just caught
the little hand With desperate effort he
drew her up till her golden head rose to
the surface but he was not strong enough
to lift her out alone, and wild cry of "Oh,
come, come! she is drowningm brought
the other boys flying from the corners and
bushes where they had been hunting and
calling for sister.
With fearful struggle-almost falling
in themselves-they drew her out of the
well and laid her down on the grass, but
only for moment, for with wild anguish
in their hearts they said, "Oh, bring her
to mothern' and lifting the insensible lit
tie form they hurried through Sister Sniff
fen's gate into their own house.
A little, gasping moan, a sobbing sort of
sigh, as they laid her down on the sofa
and called aloud for their mother, made
them burst out crying with mingled sor-
row and Joy, for she was not dcad-oh, no,
no, she was not dead!
Dear little wee lamb! In a few mo-
ments she opened her eyes and smiled on
her mother and brothers, who could hard
ly be persuaded to leave the room while
warm, dry clothes were put upon her and
when they were again admitted every one
of them must rub her hands and little
white feet-one apiece, as they said-and
kiss her again and again; and when she
was quite recovered they knelt down with
their mother, and thanked God that He
had sent them to save little sister from
death by drowning in that dark, and now
to them that awful, we'll What a silent,
empty house it would have been, even
with those four noisy boys, if her dear,
tiny, patterlng footsteps had been heard
no morel How they loved her now!
Though it had seemed, as Charley said,
that they had loved her with all their
might and main before, but now they had
" l0red her aacay from death."
Little sister writes letters to my friend
Rose, who told me this story-that is, her
mother does the writing, while sister
"talks it," as she says. The last letter |
received was just after her accident. Here
it is:

A Blunt Physician.

A WRITER in Chambers J0u,p0l says:
" Foremost among the old English physi-
clans must stand out that blunt, clever,
irasciblC Yorkshircman, DR.. Radcliffe,
whose memory the great library of OK
ford flor which he beQueathed e4O,0OO)
will never allow to perish. Though there
was perhaps Il certain pride about his hon
est bluntness, we must respect the man
who could tell the truth even to royal pa
tients Two years after his arrival in Lon
don Radcliffe was appointed physician to
the Princess Anne of Denmark and soon
after the accession of King William was
rewarded for the cure Of two Of Williams
favorites by present Of 500 guincas from
the privy purse. Though refusing the
position of Court Physician, Radcliffe is
said to have received from the King in
six years nearly 5000 guincas. His
gains, indeed, seem to have been enor-
nous; for in 1851 he received 1000 guin-
eas from Queen Mary for successfully pre-
scribing for the young Duke of GlouceS-
ter, the son of the Princess Aunc; and We
cannot dsbcicve the story that Dr. Glib
son made 900 guineas a year by rcceiv-
ing patients who were unable to obtain
admission to Dr. Radcliffe In 1894 he
attended the good Queen Mary for the
small -poX, and on merely reading thep pre-
scriptions Of the other physicians at once
pronounced her Il dead woman;' pre-
diction very soon verified. Queens and
princcsscs might shrug their pretty
shoulders at his name, but they could not
dispense with Radclitle's services, and VIC
find him telling a messenger of the Prln-
cess Anne that she had nothing but the
vapors, and was as well as any other
woman in the world could she but think
So. He was dismissed the court for this
hit Even royal pride, however, had to
| bow before the great doctor, and he was,
| in 1893, again sent for to see the Duke Of
Gloucester, whom he at once, abusing
rOundly the two court physicians, pro-
| nounced as beyond the reach of medicine.
In 1895 King William gave Radcliffe
81 ,2G0 and made him the offer of baron
etcv, which he declined, having gone
abroad to attend the Earl of Albcmarle,
who, on his recovery, had sent him 400
gulneas and diamond ring. Even the
King Radcliffe did little to conCiliate, and
| told him frankly that all promises to cure
him were futile. He might, he said, if he
gave up drinking long toasts with the
Earl of Bradford (who drank hard), live
three or four years; but no art would car
~ him further. When the King was
finally seized with dropsy and asked the
| doctor what he thought of his legs, Rad
clitfe replied: why, truly, sir, l would
not have your Majesty's two legs for your
| three Kingdoms Can we wonder that
William ever afterward refused to see the
blunt doctor, in spite Of the intercessions
| of the Earl of Albemarle and other
| mobiles 2"

A Strange Female Propensity.

THE Sacramento (Cal) Record Union
says: "Whether it is natural result Of
champagne atmosphere and strawberries
all the year round, we know not, but it
has become evident that there is some
thing in the air, in the soil, or in the social
conditions of San Francisco which in
spires the women of that sea-girt penin-
sula with aperennial yearning to kill law
yers The number of lawyers who have
been shot or shot at by females in san
Francisco isreal!y appalling. Crittenden,
McDermott, Cobb are among the most
prominent cases, but the calendar, in
deed, abounds with them; and now be-
hold an attempt to take off W. IL. l..
Barnes in the abrupt and explosive man
ner which seems to be the chosen method
of launching gentlemen of his profession
on their dubious voyage of exploration To
the other shore We submit that, in con-
sideration of the frequency OF these pecul-
lar attempts at what mayib be called class
homicide,' it would be idle to pay much
attention to the details of each case. It's
evident that these are phenomena illus
trating law of nature not hitherto recog-
nized or classified. Whether the occur
rences are due to the particular iniquity Of
the San Francisco lawyers, as a body,
or TO the particularly narrowing and ex-
asperating nature of the domestic itlga-
ton which they conduct, remains to be as
certained. 1t may, however, help the in.
quiry to note that there, is no apparent
limitation of age or previous condition in
these occurrences, but that old women at
tack young lawyers, and all sorts of
women precipitate themselves upon all
sorts Of lawyers, as if there existed Sc
cret and mysterious propensity in the fe-
male breast (as developed under the intlu-
ences of San Francisco fogs and gales) to
hit lawyers head whenever seen.n

THE oADI,s JUDGMENT.

An honest slater, by mishap,
Slid from the giddy seat
Where he was percAed, and from the roof
Fell headlong in the street.
And as he fell-woe worth the day!
Down from his seat on high,
He CHANGED to strike with all his weight
Upon passer-by.
"For such fall my hurt is small"
The grateful slater said;
"But what is this that have done?
Alas! the man is deadn
And soon the strangers son appeared;
And when the man confessed
What he had done, he straightway went
And ordered his arrest
Before the Cadi now he stands,
Ofwhom the angry son
Demanded Justice, speedily,
As for amurder done!
"What is thy plca?" the Cadi said;
ITO slay man, or cause
That he be slain (without excuse),
Is death by Turkish laws"
"Allah is great" the slater cried;
"What is to be will be;
The case occurred as you have heard;
! make no other ples!"
"Allah is great! and law is lawi"
The Cadi made reply;
"'Tis clear the slater, by his fall,
Did slay the passer-by; O. IL
" But as there,seems no certain proof
OF criminalin lintent-
And that the penalty adjudged -
May suit the strange event
"The prosecutor-tis decreed-
Upon the roof may climb,
And, falling on the prisoner,
Shall thus avenge his crime"
