is the verdict Of popular opin-

Without that there is no sta>

the highest aspiration which
a patriot can have is to SEE
his countrymen so imbued

AN ENFORCED PAUSE.

God sometimes sends an cen
forced pause" It comes in the
shape of trouble, a fever, an un~
forseen journey, perhaps-wha. we
call an accident-and we arc taken
out of our ordinary lives and oblig~
ed to stop. From the confines OF
the sick-room the world recedes.
The cares that doomed 80 large TO
our sight yesterday, seem to have
gone away indefinitely. The
things that we thought nobody else
could do, must he done ny some
body, and it seems to Us strange
that we felt ourselves 80 important.
Our vacation has come-not the
one we wanted or plane" for, or
intended, but the best for us, be-
cause God has put it into our lives
and He makes no III stake
There are fathers who would
strange as it may seem, ana wrong
as it is-neve- get acquainted with
much but their children IS faces, If
they were not nov and then kept
at home for a few days by illness.
There are mothers, who, in their
anxiety for their childrcn's dress
and department and culture, los
sight Of the souls that they possess,
till some sharp wind of sorrow
blows the mists from their eyes, and
they fee! that 1.-THE life is more than
meat, and The body than raimcnt. u
In hours of convalesccnce, the Book
is read that has been awaiting an
interval Of leisure; the song is lis
tened to, that the little daughter
has learned at school; the buds on
the rose-bush in the window are
counted and exulted over; some
thing kind and sweet is planned to
be done fer The ncighbor over the
way. Not in vain has the Lord
sent his pause into the whirl and
hurry and tumult in which the hours
and days were passing.

ADVANTAGES OF THE SOUTHERN
STATES TO IMMIGRANTS.

The Hon. J. B. G ymer, Of Gin
cinnati, lately addressed a letter
to the Vicksburg Herald on the
advantages offered by the Southern
States to immigrants from other
States, and from abroad, Which
closes with the following:
what are the practical advan-
tages of immigration to the South ?
Among many, 1 Will present the
following:
/. The soil, quickened and en-
riched by an abundant annual
rainfall, is generally of the most
fertile character, and capable of
growing the most exuberant crops
(often two in one season. with less
labor and. greater certainty than
elsew here.
2. The climate, except in wool ,
malarial districts, is pleasant, sal
uorious and healthy, the we ather
being tempered at all times by gulf,
lake, river or mountain breezes
The heat OF Cincinnati and Central
Ohio, though less continuous, is
more oppressive than the heat Of
Memphis, Mobile or New Orleans.

tons Of country good we'll or spring

FEL!CIANA SENTINs FL
DISHONESTY IN HIGH PLACES

Is Mr.. Spofford entitled to
q seat in the Senate One
would suppose that an honest
man ON being asked that ques>
ton would not like to give an
answer until he had enquired
into the facts of the case. Es~
pecially if that honest man
we're the member of a board
or commission or Senate which
had the question to- decide
and had been solennly sworn
in the sight of God to decide
right, we should expect of
him the most cautious and
conscientious scrutiny. But
what is the fact ?
TeIegraphic dispatches are
short, but frequently to the
point. They bring us about
such information as this: The
question Of seating Spofford
will depend a good deal on
political exigencies and COM
binations. Suppose that the
Courts decision as to the
ownership of Smiths farm de-
pended a good deal on politi-
cal exigencies, what would the
public think Of the judges
conscience. Yet the question
of a senatorial seat is Of vast
]y more Importance than the
ownership of a farm. But
grave Senators, conscrlpt faith
ers, play with the subject as a
shutt!ecock. Soothing at oaths
of office, and rights Of contes-
1ants, they care only to en-
quire as to what is expedient.
These men are at the head
of the nation they are the
leaders of society, the expo
merits Of public thought and
principle. If dignity, justice,
wisdom, are to be found any
where must we not look for
them in the National Senate ?
Its members are supposed to
be the most illustrious Of our
citizens, equally remarkable
for their intelligence and their
probity, set up high as exam
pies Of the good elements, not
the bad ones, of society Yet
their utter disregard of princi-
pie and open resort to expe-
diency would, if exhibited by
a petit jury, overwhe]m its
members with everlasting in
fanny.
And not only is it the SEN
ate which is thus utterly in
different to it's oath, but such
an institution as the recent
Presidential Commission, the
highest possible political tri-
bunal, is more shamelessly so.
What they desire is their sole
rule of judgment. What is
right has no claim at all upon
their attention. Personal in
terests, involrcd in party suc>
cess, unites a majority in the
most fragrant disregard ofjus-
tice. Not one man in the
Senate is found on either side,
not one on either side in the
Commission was found, to
Judge facts 80 as to. conflict
with his party interests. Can
these things be merely coinci-
dences
This is really melancholy
spectacle that of dishon-
est people. For, such as
people is such will be it's rep
resentatives. Honesty is
amcng that people only a
question Of personal interest
uninvolved. Justice is adj
ministered righteously only
because the judges have no
interest in the litigation and
it would be idle to expect any
man to decide against his

A New Enterprise.

Yesterday, by invitation, our re-
porter visited the artificial stone and
cement works at the foot Of Market
street. There he found number OF
our leading citizens assembled, VITO
had come to inspect the new process
CT making stone, and the cement
which is obtained from stone found 10
large quantities In this vicinity. Mr.
G. NJ. Wheat Is the sole owner OF the
right for Dallas county to manufac-
ture these two articles under this
patent, and there is every prospect Of
the enterprise proving a great benefit
to Dallas, as they can be procured from
him at a trifling cost compared to
what must be paid when shipped here
The process is as follows: The rock
is a substratum of the lime rock 30
abundant here, and is obtained gen.
orally at a depth Of ten or twelve feet.
The supply is inexhaustible. The
stone contains about forty-three per
cent. of carbonic acid This Is set free
by burning the stone in kilns, which
makes 1t possible to grind 1t. Sand Il
then mixed with 1t, and 1t is nodded
into any shape required and placed II
q hot chamber, where carbonic aci,
gas aud vapor are introduced. Tn
stone absorbs this in large quantities
which renders 1t very hard. Tn
crushing force 1t is capable Of resist
ing Is very great, and by adding pig

Coid Iron Va. Lend.

An unfortunate affair occurred on
yesterday in w. A. Rogers hard
ware store on Elm street. Mr..
James, the contractor, and Mr., Rogers,
the proprietor, were talking Of u plan
for building, which had been sub
mitted by Mr.. James. During the dis
cussion Mr.. James made the remark.
"Some people don't know the differ
ence between key OF nails" To this
Mr.. Rogers took exception, and asked
him II everybody had to go to him
(James) to know about building, and
II he made that statement he was II
liar. Further words were passed,
when Mr.. Rogers picked up u weight
aud threw it at Mr.. James, striking
him on the head above and behind the
left temple. Somew hat dazed, Mr.,
James drew revolver, and at the
same lime backed UP toward
the door. When opposite the
show case, which stood on the font
end OF the counter, he fired, Mr..
Rogers had stopped down behind the
show case. The ball struck the metal
rim of the case, SCATTERING the top
glass, cutting the end Of pass book
that lay on the case, glanced upwards,
and hit box containing door locks.
Mr.. James went outside and fred
again; his pistol was self.cocker, and
he claims that 1t went off before he
knew it the second time. The bullet
struck wooden bench screw which
was leaning against the front Of the
building. Colonel Bower then took
hold of James, and he was led to Con-
nor u Walkers drug store, where DIR.
rhruston washed and dressed his
wound, which had bled profusely; 1t
was about Mn inch and half In length,
and cut to the skull; it had also cut
his hat and the two wash feathers In
side. 1t is not dangerous and Mr..
James was about again during the
day. Our reporter visited the store
and learned the cause Of the affair.
Strange as 1t may seem, both partici-
pants give the same account of the
occurrence. Both men are well known
and respected citizens, and have beer
on the very best of terms, and from
what we can learn. they both rejoice
that the affair did not turn out more
seriously, in which we heartily concur

Tho Roman correspondent Of the

consistory, has fallen i'll again. IL is
certain, that after the secret consisto-
ry, on the 18th instant, he tainted and
had to quit reading an allocutiou. The
faintlng fits have repeatedly occurred,
and the pope remained unconscious
longer each time. He does not like
his illness to be perceived, and makes
efforts TO hide 1t.
The moment he gets TO his apart
ments he sinks TO chair, and remains
with his eyes closed, looking like u
corpse. The recent excitement has
told on him, and, indeed, en- several
occasions his life has been almost
despaired of His physicians regard
the fatigulng receptions of the pill
grims with grave approximations
Foreigners, who seek the pope at in
tervals, notice a great change In him,
One OF these visitors recently said the
