st. Patrick,s Fair.

So much interest has been manifested in
the contests at this fair that it is proper to
call attention to the time of their closing.
That in which Colonels Fagan, Fairfax and
Waggaman are candidates for a superb
span of horses and buggy will close at
eleven o'clock Sunday night; that for the
American flag between Nos. and at
twelve o'clock Sunday night; for the gold
watch and chain at the Irish American and
St. Theresa tablee, will close at half-past
nine o'clock Sunday night for the gold
watch and chain at St. Patrick's table, be-
tween Misses Emma Uthoff and Mamie
Stewart at twelve o'clock Monday night;
the gold necklace at the Southern Star
table at ten O'Clock Monday night; for the
pair of horses and buggy between Hon.
j. NJ. G. Parker and Mr.. P. j. Kennedy at
eleven O'Clock Monday night, all other con-
tests and raffies will close Saturdy night.
The friends Of the several contestants will
do we'll to bear these dates IN mind, and,
a. but little time remains, red0uble their
exertions to secure success.
Another large attendance greeted the
ladies last night, in spite of the rain, and
throughout the fair room the best Of feeling

mentary vote. The refusal of Hayes friends
to bring forward his name unit! after the
selection of Cincinnati as the place for hold
ing the convention was shrewd move on
their part, and has thrown an unexpected
obstacle in Mr.. Morton's path.
The appointment of Senators Hamilton. of
Texas, and Alcorn, of Mississippi, to fill the
vacancies on the Congressional Campaign
Committee has occssioned good deal of
surprise in some quarters. Mr.. Hamilton
attended the Republi can caucus held a
week ago for the first time in four years.
Mr.. Alcorp, while sometimes acting with the
Democrats, has always participated in the
proceedings of the Republican caucus. Both
are now acting in complete harmony with
their party, and their return to the fold,
together with that of other prominent Lib
erals and Independents, is one of the most
hopeful signs of Republican success. All
the Independents in the Senate are now
classed as Republicans, with the exception
of Mr.. Booth. INDEX.

southern Recitation.

The alabama State Journal refers to Mrs.
p. C. Goodwin as lady elecutionist of un-
usual merit. Examples of pure style and
literary selection are of great value in illus
trstng the taste of people, and we always
welcome such development as is indicated
in the following paragraph:
1t requires mind Of strength, as we'll as
a critical judgment of human nature, to in
terpret the language of others "To hold
the mirror up to nature" according to the
Interpretation OF another is not SO easily
done. But We have never witnessed more
faithful conception of some of our leading
authors Than in the reading of Mrs.
P. C. Goodwin Of selections from
Dickens, Poe, LoDgstreet and others.
She has read them diligently and inter-
enjoyed more delightful evening than that
Goodwyn, and We should be 6erelict in our
duty did we not thus publicly add our own
cheerful cOmmendation and applause to
that which she received from her delighted
audience.
There is something almost divine in the
perfection of her renditions. She has, no
doubt, devoted rigid care and study to her
authors. They are as familiar to her as
"household words" Her audience on Mon.
day evening was refined and critical, COM
posed of many of our most cultivated and
h0nOred citizens.
We do not know that the lady proposes
tour in this direction, but she would no
doubt be welcomed by an appreciative and
audience.

A class of ragged boys in a school had
learned to answer the questions in the cate
chism by rote. One day a stranger entered
to examine them; but, unfortunately. the
boy who was always at the head of the
class was absent. The stranger asked:
THE dust Of earth" ooh, noo!' was the
demonstration, "God made you" "No,"
was the response, 1.-The boy that God made
isn't here"

JEFF Davis made prodigious mis-
take if he wanted the applause and
favor of the Blaines and Buffers and
Mortons of the country. If he had
just declared for the carpet baggers in
Mississippi after the war, as Alcorn
did, he could have been welcomed to
the Senate by Morton and Hamlin any
time. If he had insisted that there is
nothing in the constitution, the laws,
or in sound public policy to forbid a
third term for the Presidency he could
have crossed legs with the guerilla

The Mississippi Legislature.

From the McComb City Miss Intelligencer
The temper of the Legislature upon
all matters relating to the hitherto race
and sectional issues is admirable.
In the entire body thereis not what may
be called reactionist. Nothing will be
done, or said, which will awaken appre-
tensions that any attempt is meditated
to disturb the questions settled Ly the
war; ner to discriminate against either
race in the legislation that may be
adopted. The African element has COM
paratively no representation in the
House., and very small one in the
Senate, but its rights are in the hands
of thoughtful, intelligent and patriotic
white men who will guard them as vigi-
lantly as those of their own race.
Among the subjects which we trust
will engage the attention of the Legis-
lature is that the Immigration, not from
abroad only, but from the Northern,
Eastern, and Western sections Of our
ewn country. The most liberal policy
should be extended in the way of ex-
emptions for fred time from taxation,
to those who will come and make invest
ments in real estate.
