Why His Dog Esit Him.

! About week ago we heard one of our
leading citizens Dragging about his watch
dog. lie went on TO say that Nero was
a splendid watchdog; that he would
never growl at child, and at night he
would tear anybody to pieces he found
about the premises.
Amt you afraid" we asked, that he
will bite you some night when you come
home late?"
''Not bit of it; he is too intelligent
lie knows my step as soon as | put my
foot on the gallery. Why, l wouldn't
take $500 for that dog He is the most
reliable biting dog in San Antonio"
About three days after the foregoing
conversation took place, one morning
earl Y we met a policeman leading this
identical dog to the suburbs.
" What are you doing with Major
Jones dog we wanted TO know.
g He gave him TO me to take him out
and shoot him ?"
What for ?" we asked i'll amaze
ment.
Because he tackled the major last
night on his coming home, and bit him
in thirteen places; he will not be down
for a week"
"But | heard the major say that dog
was intelligent; that he knew mis- step,
and wouldn't bite him, no way he could
fix it; that he wouldn't take $500 for the
animal"
The dog amt to blame for it." said
the policeman, gazing sadly at poor Nero,
" it's the majors own fault"
" How so ," we inquired.
",,Well," responded the policeman,
slowly, "the dog did know his step and
never growled at him before, but last
night, for the first time since he has had
the dog, the major came home three hours
earlier than usual, and perfectly sober,
and somehow his step was different from
that the dog was used to; he didn't tan
gle up his legs as much as common, and
the dog was fooled by it, took him for
perfect stranger and bounced him. The
dog amt to blame he missed the smell
Of whisky, he didn't hear the major whoop
and cuss and fall down in the cellar as he
always does when he comes home, so
Nero kept on biting the major in fresh
places until the family interfered
Come on Nero !" and the sad funeral
cortege resumed the line of march for
the brush.

Launching OF the Schooner Joiin u
roIp.

On last TuesGay evening. at about l
O'Clock, was launched one Of the pref
test and trimmestbuilt schooners that
we have ever had the, pleasure 10 look
upon. A general invitation had been
extended to the public, and ere tho line
arrived .or the launching of tte vessel
fully 200 persous had assembled at Pol
& Frantz's shipyard, where the schooner
lay upon the ways, great many of the
fair sex being among the number, At
the proper time the signal was given,
and the blocks being knocked from
under, the schooner glided into the
river like thing o. life. As she struck
the waters edge beautiful fig which
had been furled previous to the launch
ing was thrown to the breeze, and on it
was displayed the name of the vessel
John F. Popp-so-ca!led sfter a promi.
nent lumber merchant in New Orleans.
The Dimensions of the schooner are:
keel, 60 feet; beam, 21 feet; depth of
hold, 4 feet. She was built for the lake
trace, and will ply between this place
and New Orleans. Captain .Rhumann,
the owner, informs us That's ig his inten-
tenticn to have regular line OF schoon-
ers for this trade, and says that he can
carry freight much cheaper than the
railroad. We trust that the merchants
oil along the coast will tender Captain
Rhumann the encouragement he so
much deserves, as all know that railroad
rates, are very high. Messrs. Pol &
Frantz, the builders, have Just cause to
feel proud of their model, and deserve
much praise and credit for the truly
workmanl;ke manner in which tie craft
is built. There was an abundance of
estahles and "drinkables" furnished for
the occasion, and many toast was given
to the schooner, captain and builders.
The soiree dansante, which took
place in the evening after the launching,
was il every respect an unexceptionable
and recherche affair. The delicious re-
freshments, OF which there was an un-
limited supply, were, kindly admins
tered by Nine. Pol, who spared no pains
in pleasing every one present. The
music aiscoursed by the Seashore string
band was excellent; and under the i'm
mediate supervision of Mr.. John David
son. the efficient and untiring floor
manager, all went merry as marriage
bell. There we're present lovely and
fair young ladies', and attentive young
men. Thus the light fantastic was mer-
rily tripped in social joy till the wee
sma' hours baGs each return to their
happy homes in appreciative remem-
brance of Capt. Rhumann end his ele-
CANT schooner the John F. Popp.

EDITOR STAR: There is no proof to
sustain the charge alleged against Capt.
Walker 10 the last issue of the STAR, to-
wit: that he had administered chloro-
form to Mrs. Mills and accomplished
his hellish derign, but on the contrary
there is sufficient evidence to prove the
charge to be false. Call on any officer
or juryman connected with Mr.. Mills
examination, and he will say there was
no sach charge preferred against Capt
Walker on that occasion. Mr.. Mills had
fair and impartial trial, and was ac-
Quilted en- evidence that world ezoner-
ate him il any court. But nothing was
ever said about chloroform on that trial.
The truth IS that the chloroform story
is too thin to stir. Let it be denied and
the proof is forthcoming. all fair
minded people are frank to admit the
truth in this case to be bad enough, but
all that know anything Of the case will
bear me out in saying that the charges
before alluded to are false. Yours,

Mr.. EDITOR: 1 was glad to see your
article on the resources OF Jackson
county. II all OF our Mississippi papers
would take the pains to gather such
facts, and publish them, new era
would soon dawn upon the State. 1t is
not strange that our growth has been
slow and the country undervalued when
the apathy and indifference Of our peo-
PIE is considered. You have made de-
parture in the right direction. But l
fear that our citizens are net yet fully
aroused TO the importance of encour-
aging such efforts. Possibly a few
croakers are controlling public opinion
in your locality, Fas they are unfortu-
nately doing in many ether places,
1 wish it was in my power to awaken
our Southern people from their lethargy.
Cur country only needs development.
We have in it the elements OF wealth,
health and prosperity. And it is mis-
take to suppose that these belong alone
to, the rich bottoms and the broad
prairies. The extensive pine forests,
with their clear, cool streams of pure
water, railroad facilities and nsvigable
rivers, as you So. forth, present advant.
ages which scarcely can be estiCated.
These are as yet almost wholly unde-
veloped. One reason for this is the
manifest lack OF public spirit and enter
prise in almost every community.
The people are singularly silent on
matter that 1 certainly look upon as one
of very great Importance. allude to
the opening of the Chickssswha river
for navigation. 1t can be done at little
expense. compared with the benefits to
be derived therefrom. 4 large trade
would come direct to the coast. and
Paecagoula would become port Of no
mean pretensions. Lands now lying
idle, along and contiguous to the river,
would he brought into cultivation. Busy
towns would be bnilt up, and su active,
thrifty population would soon be found,
where. nopght may now be seen but
scattered Aocks Of sheep and herds of
rowing cattle. Thus has it been in the
vast West; and 30 may Il be in the sunny
South. ,g.
The legislature could, with perfect
propriety, have made ar appropriation
for the purpose Of clearing out the said
river, l think; for large scope OF coun-
try would be helped thereby. Why il
failed to do so it is not easy 10 deter
mine. 1t is yet more difficult to account
for the refusal to grant favorable char
tex to company that proposed 10 do
the work, unless it was sectional preju-
dice.

going to discourage internal improve

es local interests, there is still q gloomy
future before us. Tie representatives
of Jackson. Perry, Greene, Wayne and
CLARK, should take hold of this measure
with more boldness at the next legisla-
ture; and the people should take more
lively interest in lis success. With nav
igation to Sh9buta, Pascagoula could

could offer superior inducements for
