unhappy and most cruelty oppressed
people.
You will not be surprised, my dear
Governor, In view of what have Just
said, to learn that anu decidedly op-
posed to any attempt OF what is called
the Democratic party TO elect one OF
It's own members TO the Presidential
office next year. l can not see how
1t is possible that any
good result can be STAINED
by regular party conflict for this
high place at this moment Whatever
Others may think about this matter, |
am most clearly Of opinion that the
mission OF the Democratic party has
been already fulfilled. II is not even
: possible that this party can so renew
! Its former concord and replenish it's
strength, as to make even respecta-
| ble show Of votes within the time
which will intervene between the
| present moment and the Presidential
election of 1876. 1t is SPLIT into so
many discordaDt and antagonizlng
| factions, that IL can hardly be consid.
cred as entitled to be called party at
all at least In any practical sense.
wish TO say nothing insulting or
disrespectful of this ancient and time
honored organization, which has In
former generations rendered many
invaluable services 90 the cause Of
Constitutional freedom. Ii Ia az little
my desire to utter a syllable calculate
to wound the sensibilities of any of it's
honored members, among whom
recognize some of my most valued per-
sonal friends. But CARTHAGE Juit !.
ItiuTs Juit!! The period of its USE
fulness has gone by. Let it initiate
the noble example OF the Federalists
fifty years ago, and OF the
pure-minded aud incorruptible Whig
party of "a later period. The unwise
and aInaGtiOaoI administrations of
Mr.. Pierce and MIR. Buchanan have
fatally emasculated IL of its strength,
and deprived IL of its moral dignity.
For the last twenty years, it has gone
astray after certain unnameable false
gods, and it has forever lost its hold,
as @ party, upon public confidence
and support. It's advent to power at
this time, if this were even possible,
would inevitably renew former mis-
chiefs put at serious hazard the prin~
ciples of progress, now so bounteously
operating, aud, in all probability,
bring on scenes of anarchy and blood
shed long toebe deplored. Let it there
fore at once disband! Let it cease to
embroil the country by absurd and
protitless agitations, wholly unworthy
of its former character. Let it's MEM
bers at once consent to become merged
in the Republican party and partici-
pate, as true Republicans, in the cleo
ton of sage and upright Republican
President next y ear T; who, coming in
to office in the spirit of peace and true
national brotherhood, may call around
him men of known ability and patri-
otism, without the least regard to Sec
tional prejudices or former political
antecedents. If these blessings can
be once realized, shall be almost
tempted to exclsim with Simeon of
old NotO, Lord, IetteSt thou thy SER
Vdnt 90 in peace, since mine eyes haze

Wishing you yet many years of re-
pose and happiness, I have the honor
to be your friend and fellow citizen,

How the Old Man Got Square
With Him.

At Hardin, Ray County, lives an honest
quaint, old gentleman named Trigg, who
keeps q grOcery-store. He was for some
reason suspected, by the Internal Revenue
Collector at ST Joe, Of keeping crooked"
tobacco.
One morning, gentlemanly-lso
man stepped into his store and said he was
travelling and was out of tobacco. He
could smoke nothing but pure leaf, and
wanted to buy few pounds; il would be
great accommodation, If he had il. The old
man protested that he kept it only for his
ownuse, that II was against the law, and tn al
he couldn't sell pound at any price The
Collector begged 50 hard, and protested so
strongly that no one would ever know il.
that Trigg ''smelt mice, and finally con
sented to put up five pounds for him. Mr.
Collector pulled out his pocket-boOk and
asked the price. "Five hundred dollars,"
quietly remarked the old man. "When u
Revenue officer goes out of his way TO in
duce man 10 break tho law, in order to
prosecute him, Imust have money enough
to pay. my fine" Mr. Collector lacked
about $40 Of having the money, and ooR-
cluded that he didn't want any leaf tobacco
al that price. .-Carrolton (Mo.l Record.

From the sarnnnnh New. I'd.

our telegrans, this morning, announce
the death of Henry Wilson, otherwise
known as Jeremiah Colbaith. There will be
but few tears shed over the announcement
in this section of the country. Mr.. Wilson is
known chiefly 10 the readers OF the Morn
ing News as one who, under the cheap
guise Of philanthropy, made a fanatical
war upon the Southern people. In COM
mon with Horace Greeley, Sumner and
old John Brown, it was the purpose Of his
life TO degrade the white man 10 the level
Of the negro, He was the bitter and unre-
lenting foe of the South, and under the
specious plea of abolishing slavery, did all
he could 10 place the white men ofthis sec
ton IN bondage more CALLING than death
The only attribute OF statesmanship to
which he could lay claim was the energy
that arises from the crude and cruel fanati-
elm thas characterizes the leading men of
New England, and he will bo remembered
chiefly as ono who attempted to strike the
chains of slavery from the African only to
place them upon men of his own race and
CLINE. We have in mind the old motto,
but the truth can hurt on one, least Of ali
the dead

The Vatican.

This word is often used by many who
do not understand its import. The term
refers to collection OF buildings on one
of the seven hills of Rome, which covers
space of 1,200 feet in length and 1000
feet in breadth. 1t is built on the spot
once occupied by the garden OF The cruel
Nero. 1t owes Its origin TO the Bishop
Of Rome, VINO, in the early part OF the
sixth century. erected a humble resi-
Pope Eugenius rebuilt it ON q magnft-
cent scale. Innocent LII, few years
afterwards, gave it up as q lodging to
Peter ii, King Of Arragon. In 1906,
Clement V, at the instigauon OF tie
King of France, removed the Papal See
from Rume to Avignon, when the Vatican
remained in condition of obscurity
and neglect for more than seven years.
But soon after the return Of the pom.
tifcal Court to Rome, an event which
had been 30 earnestly prayed for by good
Petrarch, and which finally took place
in 1916, the Vatican was put into state
of repair, again enlarged, and it was
lhenceiorward considered as the regular
palace and residence OF the Popes, who
one after the otuer, added fresh build
ings to 1t, and gradually encircled it
with antiquities, statues. pictures, and
books, until it became the richest de-
pos itory in the world.
The library of the Vatican was COM
menced 14O0 years ago. II contains 4O,-
OOV manuscripts, among which are
some by PAny, st. Thomas, st. Charles
Boremeo, and many Hebrew, syrian,
Arabian Armenian Bibles. The whole
OF the immense buildings composing
the Vatican are filed with statues
found beneath the ruins of ancient Rome,
with paintings BY the masters, and with
curious medals aud antiquities Of almost
every description. When 1t is known
that there have been exhumed more tnan
T0, 900 statues from ruined temples and
places sot Rome, the reader can form
some idea OF The richness of the Vatican.
1t will ever be held in veneration by the
student, the artist and the scholar.
Raphael and Michael Angelo are ena
.hr0ned there, and their tnr3ne will ba
endurable as the love OF beauty and
genius in the hearts OF their worshipers.

aYP TIE
BY CLARA @. DoLLIvER.

q vsry small boy aslittle Gyp Tie,
Win dusky face and almond eye,
A queer, small voice, most siivery sweey.
And the busiest pair Of noiseless feet
That one could ever have wished to meet
A 4 very hard lothad little Gyp Tie.
u1nougn ms innocent face was never awry;
He washed up the dishes, and did the chores
floors,
Ana-he never listened behind the doors
A sorrowful song that he wished to die,
And go to the bright, Celestial Land,
An angel there with his mate to stand,
With s'ciown" on his head, and shop" in his
hand.
We grew very fond Of little Gyp Tie;
He nevesAvas known to cneator to lie;
He went to church. and he learned to read.
And he prayed SO hard, that we all agreed
That he was u rescued "brand" indeed.
He felt very sad, did little Gyp Tie,
And he wiped tear from bis almond eye,
And he sang his sorrowful song all day,
W hen the silver spoons were stolen away
From the secret drawer where they always lay.
But sadder yet was little Gyp Tie,
When we hailed the big policeman nigh;
Aud he lookeh on Gyp as a child Of sin,
And he called his taars and prayers ''Joo thin -
And he pulled out the spoons with scornful
grin
From the folds Of that blouse, sewed safely in.
We want no more like little Gyp Tie;
We think OF his prayers with a dreadful sigh,
And his sorrowful song that was all OF it
''boshW
But we want youth to scrub and to wash,
Who has the profoundest belief in J0sh
