A TREMENDOUS TALKER.-Coleridge
was prodigsl of his words, which. in
fact. he could with difficulty suppress;
but be seldom talked Of himself or bis
affairs. He was very speculative. very
theological, very metaphysical and not
unfrequently threw in some little pun
gent sentence. characteristic Of the de-
fects of some of his acquaintance.
In illustration Of some Of his unfail-
ing talk. l will give an account of one
of his days when was present. He
had come from Hi2hgatc t. London,
for the sole purpose OF consulting a
friend abaut his son Hartley, Jour dear
Hsrtly) toward whom he expressed,
and have no doubt felt, much anxiety.
He arrived about one or two o'clock,
in the midst of conversation which
immediately began to interest him.
He struck into the middle Of the talk
very soon, and held 1.-The ear of the
house" until dinner made its appear
ance about four o'clock. He then
talked all through the dinner, ell the
afternoon, all TIE evening with scarce
ly single interruption. He expatiated
on this subject and on that: he drew
fine distinctions, made subtle criticisms.
He descended to anecdotes. historical,
logical. rhetorical; he dealt with law,
medicine and divinity. until at last,
five minutes before eight, the servant
came in and announced that the High
stage was waiting at the corner to con-
vey him home. Coleridge Immediately
started up. oblivious to all time. and
said, in q hurried voice
my dear = will come to
you some other time and talk about our
dear Hartley"
He had forgotten his son and every.
body else in the delight Of having such
an enraptured audience.

A BIOLOGICAL FACT.--Man is the
only animal that blows his nose The
alligator has nose nearly two feet
long, and be never blows it. The ele-
pbsnt can reach over his nose and
tickle his hind legs. and he often does,
but he never wipes..it. The bIue-nosed
bsboon has q cerulssn proboscis. of
which the noblest animal might be
proud. bat it goes unblown. The
double-nosed pointer has immense ca
pacity for blowing, but he never will;
and the oyster, whose nose reaches
clear round to his back. refrains from
exercising it. Man clone has reached
the height Of pocket handkerchief,
and be proudly waves his bandanns as
a sufficient evidence Of his superiority.

The United States Senate is trying to
find ont who tells the secrets of the
closed door sessions. There is talk Of
making the reporters tell where they
get their news, and making every Sem
ator and clerk testify under oath.
Press correspondents are good at guess

the probable drift of debates in the

A Ghostiy Headlight.

Soon after midnight, Wednesday, the
fireman on the switch engine called the
attention of the engineer to n bright
light that was rapidly approaching
them. The switch engine, pulling u
train of freight cars, had just turned
the bend at the fair grounds, and the
light wa n half mile east of them.
The engineer said that it was 4 head
light, and he wliistled as a signal TO Il Q
approaching train, but the light adj
vanced noiselessly and rapidly us be-
fore. In 4 moment or two it WAS so
near him that he feared n collision,
and he whistled down brakes, add his
train came to a stop within Il trains
length of the light, when, without any
exchange of signals, it began to recede,
and was soon going east at the rate of
a mile a minute. After it had turntd
the second bend, about three miles east
Of the city, the reflection on the trees
could be seen for several seconds.
What it was no one claims TO know.
All say that it looked like a headlight,
but no n says it was one. That it
might have been u reflection from the
switch engine is possible, or that it was
an electrical phenomenon is not impos-
sible. The fact that a light was seen
on the track ON which they were run
Mug may have made the men on the
engine overly cautious, and made it
appear much larger than if seen else
where. Richmond (Indl Palladium.

THE TRIP FROM BILOXI TO OCEAN SPRINGS
VIA SHIP IsLAND-A ROUGH SEA AND A
GOOD SHAKING UP-DlFFICuLTY OF
REACHING THE cHANDELEURs; THE
WINDS BLOWING THE WRONG Way
FISHING, CRAB DIET, ETC.
Correspondence OF the Herald.
OCEAN SPRINGS, June 81, 1877.
The departure OF the schooner Gem
tennal from Biloxi was delayed from
various causes. Even the very short
life on deck our party have experienced
has developed love for the shore on
the part OF the greater portion of our
party, which leads US TO wonder how a
vessel long at sea ever gets her crew
together when she runs iuto port. As
this is q mere matter of pastime, aud
no particular object TO be accomplish.
ed or engagements TO meet, il matters
really "ery little when we start or
where we go, If indeed it ia no, to the
bottom. But while one wants 10 fish
another wants 10 be sailing, while still
another prefers lying in port, so that
we have had no small amount OF growl-
ing, and the Boss has been so upset in
his efforts TO reconcile the various likes
and dislikes, and to please oil, that he
has about lost all his old sailors knowl-
edge, and given up in despair. From
the very beginning the breeZes have
been dead against us, and we have
never been favored with fair wind
except when headed for the main shore.
/ Those Islands with the French name
which have been our objective point
since our departure from this place
last Monday, have not been reached
yet, and to-day we lie here in harbOr
under q spanking breeze directly of
them, waiting for change in the wind
aud for all hands to get enough OF
shore. Our three sailors, including
the Captain, live here, andthe suspicion
that they wanted 10 spend the S1bb,h
at home has arisen. l. Is almost cpr.
tain that ii we were away ilom home,
the breeze would not seem 60 strong,
I the waves SO high or the wind so OBJ.
siinate as to appear 10 them any great
obstacle ii the question Of heading for
that home was presented 10 them. A
bad start may terminate In a good end.
ing. II the ending is good IN propor-
ton to the miserable luck we have ex.
perienced in bobbing about here ond
there trying to get fairly out Of sight
of this place, aud to reach the "Chande-
liers,' you may anticipate report OF
marvellous luck If we ever do get there.
We got away from Biloxi at noon on
Friday and tackled away over TO Ship
Island under sn adverse wind and "a
terribly rough sea, but the run was a
pleasant one, nevertheless, and as our
sea legs had in measure. come to Us,
and there were no further threalenings

CIrcuIt COurt-CIty Case.
STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION vs.. MAYO
Avn ALDERMEN OF YIcRsRnnG.

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION vs.. MAYOR
AND ALDERMEN OF vIcKsBURG.
This case is submitted to the Court.
The declaration states that from jan
uary 1872, to February 1874, defend.
ants appropriated to their own use the
sum OF twelve thousand dollars, coll
lected and received by defendants, for
licenses granted under the general
laws of the State, for the sale of intox.
icatlng liquor, or the keeping Of dram
shops, in said city, which said sum
constituted the common school fund of
the State, aud belonged 10 the plaintiff,
which money defendant has failed and
neglected TO pay over to plaintiff, etc.
There is, also, count for money had
and received. The general issue is the
plea. The evidence consists of a certi.
iicale OF the City Assessor aud Treas
urer, who is the custodian Of the Treas.
urer's Fund Ledger, the book wherein
is recorded all collections by the city
of moneys arising from licenses grant
ed by the city for retailing vinous and
spirituous liquors. This certificate is
attached TO what is certified as a true
copy from said book, showing all sums
of said fund transferred to the School
Teachers fund for the School, District
OF the City of Vieksburg, up to Janu-
airy 81, 4S74, By virtue Of resolutions
of the Mayor and Aldermen of Vicks.
burg, Of November 81 and 18th, 1873.
There is an agreed state OF facts signed
by counsel, and certified copy Of res
olutions (of Mayor and Aldermen)
dated November 81, l7lh, 1873. This
was all the evidence.
II the City Treasurer had embezz,ed
the money collected BY him while act
ing as the fiscal agent for the State, in
the collection its moneys for licenses,
the city could not have been made lia.
BILE for such criminal conversion. In
the case OF the Board of Education vs.
West Point, 50 Miss, p. G44, the Court
says: "If moneys go into the town
treasury and are actually used by the
corporate authorities, with their sane.
ton, or acquiescence, tor corporate pur.
poses, then the town would be clearly
liable The only question presented
in the case at bar, IL, were the funds
Of the plaintiff, in this case, actually
used by the Mayor aud Aldermen OF
Vicksburg for corporate purposes
The written agreement OF facts,
signed by counsel In this case, reclles !:
"That none of said school money
transferred, as aforesaid 10 the city
teachers fund, by reason OF resolutions
OF Mayor aud Aldermen, on the 81
and 18th November, 1S73)-was used
or paid out for any purpose of the city
corporstion." AS the money never
was in the city treasury, and, as it is
agreed, by counsel, that II was never
used or paid out for any corporate pur-
pose, it follows that there Is nothing
upon which to predicate a judgment
for the pl4inlitr Iu the absence OF the
written agreement between counsel
negstiving the idea that the money was
used for corporate purposes, | would
consider the city liable. AS the facts
are agreed TO- aud do not come within
the rule asserted In Board of Edu-
cation vs.. West Point, so Miss, there
will be a judgment for defendant.
Harris & Harris, for plaintiff.
Buck Il Clark, for defendant.

pressed the least desire to run against
Gen. Humphreys for the Governorshlp.

he can for him. AS to doing Gen.
Lowry justice, the people are perfectly
willing to elect him Attorney-General,
but they are not willing to take the
position that ought in att justice and

Lowry is young maa, aud it Is no
