Death Of James e. Rest.

On Sunday evening, last, our com
muniiy was panied by the sad announce
ment of the death Of James b. Best,
E,q., who expired, a, his residence,
two miles from Osceola. about s
o'clock, P. NJ. Although not unex-
pected, this mortal dissolution OF one
OF the most prominent citizens OF Miss
issippi county has filed an atlectionate
and interesting home with sorrow and
mourning and has cast a pail OF griei
over 4 large circle OF friends snd ac-
quaintances. For many months, Mr..
Best Xas the victim of that slow, but
sure aud fell destroyer, consumption,
and for weeks, prior 10 and up TO his
decease was a martyr TO intense suffer
ing. Mr.. Best removed to Mississippi
county. from Georgia, shortly after the
close OF the Confederate war, and took
prominent part in local politics. In
the 'hdnge from Radical rule, was elec-
ted CLERK Of the County and Circuit
courts, and after going out OF office, he
entered into the practice of Law
With his ilults, he was endowed with
man, noble qualities that cndearee him
TO those, with whom he came in socis-
contact. Now, that his spirit has del
parted forever from our midst, to seek
that bourne from whence no traveller
can return, Iet US bury his faults and
frailties with his mortal remains, and
cherish only The "reminiscences Of those
genial smiles, generous impulses, and
that aft, bic department, that won the
hearts Of his friends, and caused even
his opponents to like him. To his
widowed wife and orphaned Children,
we exterd our deepest sympathy for
the loss of one, who to them, stood
without reproach, as Il husband and
father.

Our Centennial Presents.

The regents of the Smithsonian Insti-
tutc have decided to renew their recon-
mendation to Congress at the beginning
of the regular session to make an APP
preparation Of $4,000 to enable them
to erect am additional building on the
Smithsonian grounds, to be used rs a
museum to display the numerous ar
uclcs and specimens that have been
presented to the Institute 10y the various
foreign governments that exhibited them
at the Centennial Exposition. These
gifts, it is said, are valued at more than
one million of dollars. At present,
owing to the crowded condition of the
Institute building proper, here is no
opportunity of opening or exhibiting
them. They are now stored away in
the old armory building in the boxes in
which they were originally packed.
The regents have not yet finally decided
upon the plan Of the new building.

Lewis, private secretary of President
Jefferson, crossing the Rocky noun.
tains, found the various bands Of Nez
Perces occupying the plain west of the
Bitter Root mOntains, and the valleys
of the Salmon, Snake and Clearwater
rivers, where they had been from their
earliest tradition, and where they all
continued till this year of grace 1877.
The history of the expedition tells us
that when the explorers, descending
the last of the Rocky mountains, y
reached beautiful open plain, they
came upon an Indian village. ''all of
whose inhabitants gathered round to
view, with 81 mixture of fear and pleas
ure, these wonderful strangers" I'M
mediately they brought a sumptuous
treat; we returned the kindness of the
people by a few small presents" Two
miles distant was another village, and
here also the party was greeted with
great kindness The two villages, con
tinues the account, consist of about
thirty double huts, and the inhabitants
call themselves Chopunnish. or Pierced
Nose.
Among these hospitable people the
governments party spent upwards OF
twenty days, leaving them then to push
on to the Pacific. So much had they
been impressed with the honesty of
their new found friends, that they left
their horses with them, TO be called
for the following spring. The spring of
1906 came round, and with it, in April,
the explorers returned. Toward the
ocean they had had hard experience
with the Indians but now, among the
Wollawollahs, neighbors of the Nez
Perces, they found a welcome ''pecu-
liarlv acceptable after the cold, inhos-
pitable treatment lately received"
Passing on to the Chopunish villages,
one of the first Indians they met gave
Clarke very elegant mare, for which
all he requested was n phial of eye
water" another Indian brought two
canisters Of powder, buried by the party
in the autumn, which his dog had I'M
covered-"he had kept them safely and
had honesty enough to return them -
and then followed the recovery Of the
buried saddles and the horses left in
Chopunnish charge When they asked
fat horse for lean one, desiring to
cat the former-for the Chopunnish
lived almost wholly on rooLs-"the hos
pitalty of the chief was offended at the
idea OF IN exchange we might
have US many horses as we wanted.
Accordingly they soon gave us two fat
young horses without asking anything
in return-an act of liberal hospitality
much greater than any we have wit
messed since crossing the Rocky noun
tains." Other presents of horses are
recorded, both for food and riding. Find
ing that these people are so kind and
liberal, we ordered our men to treat
them with great respcct.-1He GaIory

Singing-Micc.

Two observations upon slnglng-mlce
have been lately noted inf France, and
reported in Nature The first was re-
was presented to the French Societe
discrimination, by NJ. Brierrc, who
testified to having heard mice sing in
1S5l-lS53. The singing proceeded from
an old cupboard, and generally began at
sunset. The joints and wood of the
cupboard were sOapcd so that it could
be opened suddenly, and, this being
done one evening, mouse was sur
priscd in the midst of its roundclay
For about the space Of II minute the
mouse was under notice, and the move
ments Of its throat plainly visible. 1t
held its nose up in the air like dog in
bowling, and the song it emitted was
like that Of a wren. The mouse was
seized, but contrived to escape Its
singing was resumed the same night and
ON others following.
A recent number of Forest and Stream
also contains nm observation upon these
interesting musical quadrupeds, The
conservatory ina gentleman's residence
near New York City opened with fold
ing-doors into the library, and suspend
ed from its ceiling were several cages of
CanariCs, which were secured 10y cords
running through pullcys and fastened
near one of the plAut->helvcs, One
evening, a few years ago, the gentleman
of the house was sitting alone in the
library. when his attention was attracted
to low warohng, like that of Young
canary, which proceeded from the con-
scrvatory. He PRESENT. saw that the
notes were emitted by mouse running
about at the bottom of one of the cages,
while the bird was on its perch above
asleep. subsequently he several times
saw two or three of the little four-footed
warblcrs at At time, in the plant-shelves
or in the cages. Once he Crcpt under Il
cage into which one had run, and, show
ing himself placed his hand ON the cord
over which ii must pass to escape.
Mouscy seemed bcwildered by the move
ment, stopped, warbled, and held to his
retreat in the cage. These singing mice
were very fearless, yet would not allow
themselves to be caught. The observer
supposeS they learned their song, which
was Il low sweet MARBLE, of the canaries
but VI. Bricrrc states expressly that no
canaricS had ever been kept by the own
crs of the old cupboard in which he OBJ
served the slngingmicc
