The authorities of Mississippi should
at any cost bring to speedy justice the
parties engaged in the recent murderous
mob in Kemper county. The affair, as
related, is a shocking disgrace to the
character of the Southern people, and
cannot but work great injury to the
State Of Mississippi. We believe that
Gov. Stone will employ all the means at
his command and all the authority of
his office to arrest and punish the guilty
parties. The long era of corrupt and
inefficient government through which
both Mississippi and Louisiana have
passed has brought about a want of
confidence in and respect for the law,
and given to violent and lawless men
dangerous latitude Of action. This
evil must be promptly and vigorously
eradicated from both States. We have
heard of no more atrocious crime than
that which was perpetrated in Kemper
county, and Gov. Stone has now an op-

COL. JOHN FORSYTH.

Col. John Forsyth, who for thirty
years has been one of the most bril-
liant and successful journalists in the
South, departed this life at Mobile on
Wednesday. He had long / cen In infirm
health, which compelled him to with
draw from the active duties of his pro-
fession.
Col. Forsyth was a Georgian by birth,
son Of one of the most eminent and
brilliant men that State ever pro-
duced. During the administration
Of Andrew Jackson and Martin
Van Buren,, the latter was a
member Of the United States Senate,
and was regarded then as the readiest
debater in that body. His graceful and
dignitled carriage, quiet wit, and al
ways ready and elegant elocution,
gave him the leadership in the
defense of the measures and prin-
ciples OF the Democratic party in
its palmiest days. With his high Sena-
torial qualities the elder Forsyth COM
bined an easy grace and elegance which
made him equally as conspicuous in So
ciety as he was in the political arena.
To his native gifts he had added much
of that polish, tact and versatility which
are acquired by diplomatic service in
the capitals Of the Old World. He had
occupied the post of Minister to Spain
and had been assigned to other diplo-
matte duties, wherein he won great
reputation as most skillful and accom-
plished negotiator and ambassador.
His son inherited many Of the fathers
qualities, and as journalist, a political
orator and manager, and as United
States Minister to Mexico, achieved great
distinction and influence. In the social
relations he was one Of the most amia-
BILE and agreeable OF gentlemen. Few
men who ever engaged so energetically
in the party contests Of the day were SO
free from the acrimony too frequently
engendered by party contests.

Outstanding and civilizing the thou

Wong Ching Foo seems to have taken
this view Of the subject and to feel that

was on this point that he came out

have been very kind to the Chinese. They have
been to great expense to send missionaries over
to our country, aud have taken all possible pains
to teach US what Christianity ia, and propose to
return this kindness, 30 far as am able, by
teaching your people what Buddhism ia.
'Do you expect to make converts to Bud

WONG CHING F6O.

Mr.. Wong Ching Foo, an eminent
Chinaman, has, we fear. been telling
the New York people some plain truths
about some of the Christian mission
aries in his country. Mr.. Foo, or Mr..
Wong Ching Foo, has undertaken, it
appears, a contract to convert the New
Workers to the religion of Buddha and
Confucius, and in recent talk at a
private house to large and select party
of ladies and gentlemen he affirmed
that the Chinese people are intelligent
and refined, and have happy homes and
a high civilization, and more than all, "
said he, "they have good religion and
worship God and hope for happiness
hereafter"
"How is it," asked one Of the party,
"that the American people have got an
opposite Impressions"
Because" said the Chinaman, "the
missionaries who are sent out there are
interested in producing an opposite i'm
preston. They go out there and have
happy times. On the money they receive
from America they can live like princes
in China, and they would be working
against themselves to produce cor
rect impression. SO they come here
and tell stories about the degradation
Of the Chinese, and about their bowling
down to ste TX and stone.' that have no
more truth in them than the same
stories would have been If they were
told about the American people. And
they bulldoze the people into giving
them money enough to go back"
This is pretty rough story on the
missionaries, and if MFR. Wong Ching
Foo's story Of the happy social and
religious condition Of his countrymen
be true, we should think that the

living below the city, who is still pursu-

years old. Almost every day we meet
on our streets gentleman who is seek
ing employment in business in which
he has been engaged for sixty years, to
wit. that Of bookkeeper, who is in
his ninety-first year, and who held a
commission in the British army in 1903.
Even the longevity Of this gentleman,
an old citizen, who has heretofore held
high position ia the mercantile world,
and who for many years was quite indie
pendent in his circumstances, is not SO
remarkable as his appearance and con-
dition, which are those Of hale. stout,
well-rounded, middle-aged man, capa-
lie Of welding sword or pen with a
skill, vigor and grace equal to those OF
any young man in this city. Yet this
gentleman, more than seventy years

the French cuirassiers in battle, and
showed himself more than the equal of

A WOman's Nerve.

The Kalamazoo Mich Telegraph
tells the story of an extraordinary adj
venture which happened recently to
Kalamazoo lady, in which she displayed
such rare presence of mind as to make
the matter worthy of more notice than
mere paragraph. About half-past ten
in the morning, Mrs. d. @. Reed, OF
Kalamazoo, was waiting in her carriage
for DR.. Gile, who was calling upon West
street, when crazy man broke from the
ranks and attendants, jumped into the
carriage with Mrs. Reed, took the relns
and whip, and beat the horse severely,
and drove out West street to near Mr..
Burt's, when Mrs. Reed persuaded him
to get out. Then she put whip to the
horse and returned to the village. The
crazy man went into the woods, but
was soon captured and taken to the
asylum.
Mrs Reeds GOODNESS under this try
ing situation probably saved her from
serious results. After the carriage had
been driven rapidly down West street,
she talked calmly to the lumatic, telling
him she knew he was endeavoring to get
away from the keepers, and making him
believe his best plan was to escape to
the woods. They had now got beyond
the Heydenburk hill, and she induced
the madman to get out, telling him to
run into the thick underbrush there.
He got out, but Immediately changed
his mind, did made desperate effort to
get back into the carriage, but Mrs.
Reed, who lost no time in getting away,
whipped up her horse, and reached Mr..
Burt's house, when she got out, ran into
the house, and was completely overcome
with excitement and fright. In little
while, however, she was able to return
| home

The Hard Fate of a Veteran.

A recent issue of the Boston Post
contains the following: Among the
persons who applied for lodgings Sun
day evening at the Ninth street police
station was one Charles Williams, form
erly lieutenant in the navy and at
tached to the South Atlantic squadron
under the command of Admiral Dahlgren.
Mr.. Williams, previous to the late civil
war, was in the merchant service, and
for six years was the commander of the
lookout, one of the finest clipper ships
which sailed out of New York harbor.
Upon the breaking out of the war he en-
tered the navy as common sailor, and
was very soon after made a lieutenant.
During the bombardment of Fort Nc
Allister, while attached to the Sonoma,
)f the South Atlantic squadron, he was
severely injured by the explosion of
cannon, the powder burning his face
nd hands in a shocking manner. From
the effect of this accident he lost his eye
sight, but was still retained in the SER
vice until 1865, when he was discharged
During his service as merchantmen and
in the navy he had managed to save a
considerable sum of money, which he
proceeded to expend at some of the best
eye infrmaries in the country, hoping
thereby to regain his eyesight, but fin
ally gave up in despair until 1870, when
he made the acquaintance of an eminent
German physician, then on q visit to
New York. He succeeded in restoring the
lost eyesight, although in an impaired
state, and in order to strengthen the eyes
inserted two minute glass plates be-
meath the lids, which Williams retains
up to the present time. Having been
unable to procure work in his own place
Bridgeport, Conn. }, and having wife
and three children to support, Mr.. Will
liams came to this city few days since
with what money he could raise, with
the hope of procuring work at his trade,
which is sail making but being unsuc-
cessful and having used up his last cent,
he was compelled for the first time to
ask lodgings at the city's expense.

BOmbardment without War.

Passengers on the deck of large
pleasure steamboat, running through
the narrows of New York harbor, several
years ago, were amazed and greatly
alarmed by seeing large cannon ball
pass over the boat The ball was from
cannon in Fort .Hamilton, which the
gunners had supposed was aimed at a
target nowhere near the boat. The
residents of the quiet village of Minton,
i'll England, have also had an experience
of bombardment in, time of peace. At
midday sixteen-pound shell fell in the
middle of the main street, and ploughed
up the turf long distance. Another
shell soon fell into a garden near by,
and third entering the roof of barn,
utterly demolished the building. The
frightened villagers fled from their
homes to the open country. 1t was
soon ascrtained that the Royal Horse
Artillery were practicing gunnery upon
lofty eminence some two miles distant,
and that the gunners had put their tar
gets in line with the village. A mount
ed messenger informed the officer in
command of the village catastrophe, and
the firing ceased.

Plucky Mrs. Sawin.

Mrs. Sawin, of Kansas, is a plucky
woman who has farm of 800 acres Of
prairie land. This spring she harvested
ten acres of wheat of her own plowing
and sowing, and put down twenty acres
more, besides some sorghum and broom
corn. She is not strong-bodied woman;
on the contrary, when she began her
plowing she was so feeble that she had
an easy chair at the end of her furrow
and was obliged at every second rev to
stop and rest. She chose this life be-
cause she had more fitness for it than
for anything else that gave promise OF a
future for two little sons whom she de-
sires to educate to usefulness. Her
health improves, and sheep-raiser in
the neighborhood has engaged her to
plow ten acres Of land for him and take
her pay in sheep.
