Col Murat (for | knew him as colo
mel as well as prince was man of sin
gular resources in dietetcs as in many
other matters. One day, on occasion of
the unexpected arrival of guests, he
discovered the larder to be rather empty,
and finding the embarrassments Of the
menage aggravated by Inconsistencies of
Madame's absence, ordered all the ears and
tales to be cut from the hogs, allowing their
swineships to roam again at large, while
these appendages lay seething i'll the cui
sine preparatory to most sayory meal.
"a pity" declared the master of Lipona,
''that hogs could not be all heads and
tails"
AS a browning feat of his enterprise in
the field hove alluded to, it was his
boast that he had tasted of every bird
and reptile in Florida. alligator tail
SOUP" he said would do, but de buzzard
was not good" Of experiments in cook
cry he was very fond, and often annoyed
both Nine. Murat and the cook by the
strange mingling of sauces and condiments
furtively introduced INTO the family food.
No tree or shrub of all the State botanical
repertory but he would appoint TO some
use, many as vegetables for the table.
From the magnolias, myrtles, ahd some
other gIossy-leafed trees of FlorldIan for
ests, he would extract wax, while many
medicinal herbs (the cinchona or quinine
plant among them) were brought forth
as really worthy trophies of his passion
for research.-The Galaxy for June.

The swallow flying South" was in
trusted with very pretty message from
her destined husband to Tennyson's will
full princess. Utopian swallows, no doubt
transmit all such communications faith
fully, but in this prosaic world they
usually come and 60 unweighted even
with such light gear as lovers vows.
One, however, lately knocked at the
window of a peasant farmer in a vii
lage in one of the Northern Depart
ments of France to deliver a note. On
being admitted, iu very exhausted con-
dition, it perched upon the chimney piece,
where it allowed itself to be examined
and handled, when it was discovered that
the little harbinger of summer had a red
ribbon round its neck, to which a paper
was attached. This, on being unfolded,
proved to be an appeal on behalf of the
bird from a member of a household in
Italy, whose home it had visited for six
years. In obedience to the wishes of its
distant protector, the swallow was ca
ressed, warmed and fed, and a green
ribbon substituted tor the decoration it
had received in Italy. Then and not
till then, the bird exhibited symptoms
of Impotence it was set at liberty, flew
out of the window, and although it re-
manned in the neighborhood of the farm,
never again made any attempt to commu-
nicate with the inmates. The locality
from which it came being, as it appeared
from the note, in the neighborhood of
Mount Vesuvius, the occurrence is worthy
the attention of ornithologists as a con-
tribution to the data on which to decide
the length and direction of the flight of
migratory birds.

The NazOO Resolutions.
From the Natchez Democrat

From the Natchez Democrat
Some months ago the Democrats aud
Conservatives of Yazoo county, in this
State, assembled in mass meeting and
announced "a platform which appeared
to us then to condense all that is needed
into as few plain words as any that we
had seen. We cut it out and laid il
aside for reference. Now that we are
approaching very important canvass we
refer to it and reproduce it
The meeting at which this platform
was enunciated was held shortly after
the general Congressional elections Of last
fall, by which the Legislative power OF
the general government was revolutoniz-
ed. The Conservative people of Yazoo
then took occasion to congratulate them
selves, and their fellow-citizens through.
out the country on the moral attitude as
sumed by large majority of voters in
the various States in which elections had
recently been held.
They professed to regard the elections
as showing conclusively that the sober
second thought of a liberty-loving people
is always right.
They went on further to say that we Of
Mississippi have been oppressed by I'M
wise legislation, by unjust administration,
by corrupt officials, by wicked and OPP
pressive taxation, and by the odious and
repulsive extortiOns Of the worst and most
absolute government; and that we pay now
about nine dollars to where we paid one
dollar in taxes before the late war; and
yet there exists large debt due by the
State, and which is constantly accumula-
ting; that our substance is being wasted
by a set of political cormorants, who are
eating out the life of the people; and final
ly, that wishing to participate in the
benefits of good government, honestly
sustained and fairly administered, we
avow candid acceptance Of the XIII,
XIV and XIV amendments to the FEEDER
al Constitution, and declare our alegi-
ance and adhesion to the constitution and
all acts in pursuance thereof. They de
clared their purpose to be the preservation
of their rights and the maintenance Of the
rights Of all others.
The preamble continued thus:
"And now that the good day has come
in the quiet awakening Of public senti-
ment all over the country, and in every
section of it, we proclaim our purpose to
labor for the same good result in Missis-
sippi; and to that end ask our fellow-citi-
zens in every county to unite and organ
ize on the following or a similar platform
of principles, to-wit:
Exact and equal justice before the
law
No special legislation in behalf Of any
man, or set Of men or any class Of people.
Precise and perfect equality Of all in
their political and legal rights.
A reduction Of taxes to what will be
simply necessary to a wise and economl-
cal administration Of the State govern
ment.
A reduction of the number Of useless
officials who are fattening on the public
treasury.
Honest, faithful and capable men for
all offices, Federal, State, county and
municipal.

Although it has been said that every
farmer should not try to be a geologist,
meteorolOgist, chemist, etc., or study
medicine to be his own doctor, or law to
make it unnecessary to employ a lawyer,
or theology with the sole view of doing
his own preaching, still there is little
doubt that all general information, and
the more exact the better, has tendency,
if well applied, to be useful to the far
mers best interests. Every cultivator
desires to gather from the soil, at small
expense, large crops, with as little injury
as possible to the source of production.
He cannot do this without being familiar
with the general principles in the vari-
Gus departments of his profession and
Observation-Disclosures thoroughly the art
of agriculture. The man who grows
crops we'll, must understand the nature
of soils, which includes more research
than would enable him to arrive at the
conclusion that one is sandy and another
clayey, etc. Then what should be the
extent of the farmers education? Who
will answer the question? One person is
found fault with for being "too scientific"
another, for not being enough so. Now,
suppose everyone should cast away pre-
JUDGES, and apply knowledge for its own
sake, We might hope for progress in mem
tai acquisition, national wealth and pros
perity. If the farmer was not placed in
such close relation with every depart
ment of science-in word, with Natures
diversified works-it would not be so
difficult to define what should be the
extent of his education. Let US apply
truths as fast as they are discovered, and
not find fault with the man of science be-
cause he cannot supplant the Divine
Architect. 1t would be impossible for any
agriculturist, during his life, to study one
department bearing on his calling to its
fullest extent; and therefore who will ven
ture to advise when he shall cease to
explorer lament over the exhaustion
of the realms of knowledge

To our apprehension there is no con-
dition in nature more poetical than the
tie between mother and daughter. 1t is
realization of the sensation of Eve at
the fountain. Not good mother look
ing into her daughters face-'a clear,
smooth lake"-but could say, with Eve :
As | bent down to look. just opposite
A shape within the watery CLEAN appeared,
Bending to look at me. | started back
1t started back. But pleased soon returned,
Pleased, it as soon returned with answering
look
OF sympathy and love.
The mother is irresistibly drawn TO the
daughter, the latter res ponds out of pure
spontaneity, and out of this mutual at
traction there springs that delicious SYM
pathy which in its essence is a bond strong
as fate, and charming as the correlation of
angels, for it is not tinged by any selfish
ness beyond that approved of by nature
and heaven. 1t is this sympathy, almost
pathetic in its winning force, which unites
father, mother, son and daughter for the
tultillment of the solemn duties of home,
and at the same time imposes upon two
of the engaged parties some of the most
sacred of earthly obligations. On the
part of both these are imperative, but
they are greatest on that of the mother,
because commencing in the cradle, they
are continuous and unbroken until the
daughter leaves the parental freside for
one Of her own.

OBSERVATIONS OF A NORTHERN
TOURIST IN MISSISSIPPI.
Extracts from Rev. A. CIRrk's Let"
tiers In the PiftsburS Meth.
OdIsT Recorder.

Since our winter fingers so long, the
snow and frost of February extending
forward to the first part of the third
month Of spring, the people are inclined
TO turn their attention to a more eongenial
climate The west has been settled out
to the frontiers bordering on the sage
brush soil; the temperature north OF
Kansas is often too colo for comfort and
for certain crops, while the grasshoppers
threaten destruction to the harvests which
may mature.
Under these conditions it is natural
that the great South, with its fertile lands
and pleasant climate, it's timber, water
courses, and other advantages over a
prairie country, should receive a large
share of the emigrant's thought. Central
Mississippi offers rare inducements to in
dustry and capital, and will ere long be-
come equal in society and in every essen
tial to good homes to the fairest sections
OF the East or West. Farms of excellent
quality can be bought on easy terms in
the South, at from So to SIS per acre,
and a single crop of cotton of average
yield would more than pay the price of
the land. Along the line of the New
vi 1CoHSs ~ A~OtIiS anu OHlCdSO 1AdlINat,
anywhere between Holly Springs in the
north of Mississippi to Magnolia in the
south, there are opportunities of invest
ment, and inducements to immigration
superior to anything west of the Missouri
liver. The brotherhood of labor, the
settling down into communities of per-
manent and an intelligent citizenship,
and the mingling of the people of COM
mon vocation, will solve the question of
reconstruction more thoroughly than all
the political management of all the par
ties that ever have been, are now, or shall
be, until the end of the world
The distance from McComb City, in
Southern Mississippi, to New Orleans, by
rail, is one hundred and five miles Leav-
ing our temporary, but most comfortable
home at the DeSolo House, and having
for our travelling companion, our friend
Hillyard we left for the Crescent City
at five in the evening. We crossed over
from the pine ridges of Mississippi into
the lowlands of Louisiana, just after dark,
and the night came down upon us in the
swamps. A storm gathered into black
ness all around the horizon, and light
ning's frequent and vivid flashes revealed
an outline of forests festooned with moss,
and pools of water stretching away into |
the shadowy distances. At Magnolia we
passed group of summer residences, oc-
cupied in the warm seasons by wealthy |
of New Orleans. So at Osy- |
