THE EXECUTION.

After the speech Parson Stokes
(Methodist) made prayer commend
ing the soul of the condemned man to
God. Immediately after this hand
kerchief was placed over Lees eyes.
He raised his hands and placed them on
the top ofhis head, sitting firm, Marshal
Nelson giving the word ''frev' and
five guns fred balls penetrating the
body in the region of the heart. Lee
fell square back upon his coffin dead.
Death was instantaneous. The body
was placed in the coffin and the crowd
dispersed. There were about seventy
five persons all told on the, ground.
Not child or a relative was there.
The best order prevailed. Lees last
words to Marshal Nelson were, "Aim
at my heart"
The body is now on its way from the
scene ofthe execution to be delivered
to relatives at Cedar Creek.

In these miraculously converted counties
there was Republican majority of ,281 in
1872, and Democratic majority of II, 157 in
1876. The Democratic vote increased from
4, 476 to 11,S71, while out of Republicans
numbering IA, 757 all except ia were so far
converted that they .refrained from voting
against or actually voted for Tilden snd Be
form. The only thing which seems absolute
ly inexplicable is that reform movement so
irresistible in these counties should have con-
verted SO few men elsewhere. There are 73
counties in Mississippi, but in less than one
twelfth of them 14,043 Republicans were
converted, while only 5000 were converted
in all the rest of the State 1t must be con-
fessed tEat this circumstance, coupled vi h
the fact that large number of sudden deaths
have occurred in these counties, lends sene
color to the pretense of unregenerate Radical
that the colored Republicans did not volun-
tariy vote the Democratic ticket. 1t is noted,
too, that the alarming mortality in these coun-
ties was singularly eclectic in characteI-an
astonishing proportion of persons who died
at all met violent death, and the persons
who died that way were all Republicans. 1t
is Passiblc that there may be some connection
between che singular Republican mortality by
violence in these counties and the marvellous
unanimity of conversion in those particular
spots 1t is said that the Mohammedans qsed
to convert whole nations to firm belief in the
Prophet by cutting off the heads of proper
number. However, if men will not refiec'
upon the need of reform, nor manifest Christ
tian spirit of forgiveness, unless considera-
bic proportion of them die with their boots
on, we suppose it Democratic to hold that the
end sanctifes the means. For this country
must be reformed, and these Republicans
must be converted, even if we have to. do it
with sho.guns.-[N. Y Tribune.

Pretty or Not.

= ASh1J W A~0ss
Frank Ieslie's Lady's Journal -.
To be pretty is the great object of al
most every living woman, even those
who lecture upon the impropriety OF
doing so. - a 81
Beautiful women spend great deal
of thought upon their own charms, and
homely women grow homely through
fretting, because they are not hand
some. ~ 4aFa
Men, at least while they are young,
are very like women in this respect,
though they hide their feelings better.
There is one comfort TO the humely
ones, however. ~
After you come to know people very
intimately, you do not know whether
they are pretty or not.
Their "ways" make an impression
on you, but not their noses and ears.
their eyes and mouths. ssr.
In time, the soul expresses itself to
you, and it is that which you see.
A man who has been married twen-
ty years scarcely kn Jws what his wife
looks like.
He may declare that he does, and
tell you that che Is bewitching little
blonde, with soft blue eyes, long after
she is fat and red and forty; because the
image OF his early love is in his heart,
and he does not see her as she Is to-day
but as she was when he cOurted her.
Or, being an indifferent husband, he
may not know that she Is the fine wo-
man that other people think her.
You have known men who have
married the plainest women, and think
them beauties; and you know beauties
who are quite thrown away on men
who value a wife for her success as
cook. ~ .at
AS far as ones effect on strangers Is
to be taken into consideration, beauty
is valuable and very valuable.
So IL you have 1t, rejoice; but If you
have II not be content.
Take care of your heart, your soul,
your mind, and your manners, and
you will make for yourself that beauty
which will render you lovely to those
who are nearest and dearest to you.

An increase of $1,000 in the Democratic
vote over that cast for Alcorn, the Independ-
ent Republican, for whom thousands of Re
publicans voted, is partially explained by a
decrease of 30,063 in the Republican vote
since the last Presidential election. 1t is pal
pable that nothing less than the most miraeu-
lous conversion in all modern history has here
occurred. The colored men of Mississippi
evidently feel very deeply the need of reform
In some way, they have become in most
wonderful degree attached to- Mr.. Tilien.
But the strangest feature of the whole affair
is that this great moral and peaceful revolu-
tion was effected almost wholly in certain
localities, while the same lofty aspiration for
Reform, the same Christian spirit, returning
votes for the massacres, do not appear in other
parts If the State. Comparison of the vote OF
1872 with that of 1876 in six counties, for exz
ample will show that the conversion was very
unanimous in spots.
