We have received a phsmphlet with
tue above caption, being an address oi
the officers OF the State CONVERSELY 10 be
people of Mississippi 1t asks the ques
ton and answers it sufficiently, and for
our part we cannot see how any Missis-
sippian can think of doing otherwise, or
OF sending a son TO any other school than
that of his own State. In other days,
when that gallant State, under the LEAD
of It's own generous and enlightened
statesmen, was the model of Democrat
lie commonwealth, and overlooking with
wealth aud prosperity. individual ca
prices of this kind might be t nlerated. but
now, when Frustrated into the very dust
by the West despotism ever witnessed in
the worlds history, it is the imperative
duty of every citizen to give his children
a Mississippi education, for thus only can
the State ever hope to be rehabilitated or
recover its natural and glorious manhood.
That they Will do this We cannot doubt,
ami the very trial and endurance of the
present abnormal condition of things will
serve to harden and develope even no
bier generation Of statesmen and soldiers
than in the past, and the State itself, the
very heart of that wonderful Mississippi
Valley, is not only destined to a glorious
but We doubt no: will some
day assume the leadership in the mightest
and grandess civilization the world has
ever seen.-New York Day Book, Oct.

LesiI Dry:

Mr.. Spurgeon once went to preach ii
a church a little outside of London. The
day was wet and muddy, and the pants
of Mr.. Sturgeon were plentifully covered
with dirt. a good deacon in the vestry
said: Brother Spurgeon, let me get q
brush and take off some of that mud
YOU can't go into the pulpit in that state. y
Don't be foolish, Deacon said Mr.
Sturgeon, in his usual good humored
way, don't you see the mud is wet, and
if you try to brush it off now, you will rub
the stain into the cloth? Let it
dry, and then it will come off easy
enough, and leave no mark" There is
an admirable hint here for every one.
When evil spoken against, as we may be
for the sake of truth, and men throw mud
at us, don't be in hurry about brushing
it off. Too great eagerness in this res
pect is apt to rub the stain into the cloth.
Let it dry and then, by-and-by, if need
be, it can be removed by a little effort.
If there is little trouble in the church,
don't foster it by haste and hurry in do
ing something. Let it alone, let it dry,
and it will be more easily settled than
you think now. Time has wonderful
power in such matters, and it is surpris
ing how many things in this world would
be far better arranged, and how many
difficulties easily got over by iudiciOusly
letting them dry.

A bohemian w ei din z.

A wedding such as occurred recently in
New York is not often, witnessed in this
country. Early enc morning q" thirty
two couples, dressed in the picturesque
national costume of the Bohemian Czechs,
moved in solemn procession to a large
hall in Broome street where they were
married by prelate of the Bohemian
Church. The ceremony was unique, as
one service sufficed for all the brides and
and grooms. They belonged to the Czech
colony, the greater portion of the mem
bers of which are engaged in the manu-
facture of cigars and glass-blowing
These Czechs are said to be thrifty and
industrious, and this marriage affords a
proof of their prosperity. As there was
no priest here competent to perform the
marriage service in the Czech language,
the colony sent to Prague for Right Rev,
Mr.. Habelezek, bishop of that city.
After the reading of the service the
mothers of the brides INDUCED in loud
lamentations, and when the blessing had
been pronounced by the bishop bread and
salt were served to all present.

a Eunatic and n Rat.

While at Campbell Court house we
looked upon one of the most pitiable OBJ
jects that ever crossed our path. In a
bare cell is confined a human being by
the name Of James Cassaday, lunatic.
He is about so years of age, of small
stature, and being reduced in flesh he is
a living wonder. In his mutterings he
can be heard saying prayers, while his
knees, raw from frequent kneelings, show
that from religious excitement his mind
has been lost. He was, few years ago,
i'll very good circumstances, being a
thrifty farmer Of the county, but for five
orsix months past has been incarcerated in
The Jail. He is frequently visited by the
Rev Father McGulrk, but will allow ne
one else to touch him, and is very reti-
cent save in his prayers, which are kept
up continually. He is the picture of
Rip Van Wrinkle, after his sleep of TWEEN
ty years. Since he has been in confine-
ment he has captured and tanned a rat,
which is the only living thing he will al
low near him. At the approach of any
one he crouches in the farthest corner,
and prays necessarily, while his rat plays
round the room.-Lynchburg Star.

An Enormous GrOItO.

The opening of an enormous grotto at
Burgos, in Spain, has been followed by
the discovery of mysterious cavern in
France. While workmen were cutting
Jura limestone in a quarry near Beifort,
they noticed a small hole, and after WI
dening the opening with their pickaxes,
found themselves in a vast cavern, the
floor of which was about six feet lower
than the orifce. Heaps of human
skulls and bones were lying about, al
though no opening but the one which
the workmen had made themselves could
be discovered. On one side were beau
tiful columnar stalagmites, without cor
responding stIlactites from the roof; they
resembled marble mausoleums arranged
on steps in a metropolis. Nor was this
an undeserved name, for on advancing
further into the interior the explorers
remarked certain systematic arrange
ment Of loose blocks III the shape Of dol
mems In these half natural, halfartif-
cial cavities whole skulls, thigh and
shoulder bones were seen, some of them
half imbedded in the stalagmites. Asso-
ciated with these were stone implements,
polished rings and bracelets of the same
material, and three fine vessels in the
shape of urns, with mammilated handles,
and designs, on the outside.

Death aG n Tournament.

Galveston News.l
Saturday last Peeds's Mill, in the south
ern portion of Kaufman County, was the
scene of an accident by which Hiram
Millsack, young man about twenty one
years of age, came to a terrible death.
A tournament ground, with track and
poles, had been laid off at that place,
aud last Saturday was the appointed time
for the gallant knights to test their skill.
Prof. Townley, writing master of the
neighborhood, was one of the most pro-
ficient gentlemen present in taking the
rings. He rode a fierce, powerful and
manageable horse, and upon starting
to run through advised the others not to
follow him until he had succeeded in
stopping the fiery animal. Millsack, how
ever, disregarded the advice, and started
after him at full speed on a pony. Prof.
Townley succeeded in catching all the
rings but one, and, in turning his horse
at full speed, ran against Millsack, who
had turned on a sharp angle. The pow
ertul and fiery horse of Townley struck
Millsack with his head, knocking him
from his pony. The larger horse struck
the poay and threw it with terrible force
upon the fallen young man. Millsack
| was crushed to death.
