Well, Bevins. that Internal silver bill

come law. How did gold take the
news; did it jump up to $50?
Bevins--Oh. no, sir. / think not
80 much.
Editor--It must have done, I tell
you! 1t is (blank) reputation, and
gold must have hoped up to $50 at
least.
Bevins--No. sir, it didn't. I'm sure,
or should have heard of it.
Editor-Only jumped up to 14o, eh?
Well, even that is awful; it foreshadows
the ruin of this country. This silver
craze
Bevins-No. sir, gold did not go up
to lao or anything like it. T.
Editor-I tell you it did! 1t must
have done. Bonds must have come down
terribly. and gold must have hoped
up to at least 80 per cent. Was it only

Bevins--The precious metal did not
raise to 1870, sir.
Editor--It must have done, I tell
you'll Where We're your eyes andeafs2
Silver Is debased currency, like
pewter or leather. and the money of

Ru..Ian InRrntItude.

Brooklyn Tim O..
The admirers OF Russia mus, dnd il
hard to reconcile their theory of the
chivalry of the great Christian power
with the insolent ingrstitude that
characteIizes lie treatment OF ROumania.
As long as the war lasted, aud while
the heroism of the Roumanisn coutIn.
gent was found OF essential service in
reducing Plevna, the ROumAnians were
Aattered and cSjoled in bulletins and
addresses, but 90 soon as the Russians,
by Roumanian aid, had established
themselves on the Bosphorus, the brave
little principality was altogether
ignored; treaty was made without
Its knowledge or consent terminating
the war 10 which 1t had been an active
partner; robbing II, for the asgrandizs-
ment Of its unscrupulous ally, of one of
the richest portions OF its territory
which had been secured 10 II by the
treaty Of 1856, and stipulaling without
asking it's leave for q free highway for
Russian troops through Its entire ex.
tent. When Roumania, naturally In.
dignant at this insolent betrayal OF its
rights by its seli.constituted champion,
protested against the injustice, anil ask
ed that the questions affecting Rou.
mania should at least be laid before a
Congress of the Powers, the Russian
Premier replied that Russia would take
any proposal to lay this matter before
the Powers as an afront 10 the EN-.
peror, adding that If RoumaniA persist
cd in her objection her territory would
be seized by the Russians and her
army disbanded. The thin vArnish oi
civilization that veneers the greedy
barbArians OF the Muscovy steppes
rubs OF very easily and displays the
naked, ingrained sSvagery Of the race
but 1t shows a deplorable lack OF the
craft for which Russia has been famed
as we'll as of common gratitude anC
honesty, for GorlschakoG TO tear of
the mask so soon. In the crisis tha
seems imminent, Russia may fud hos

There e . very general belief among
our eiilzsns that within Twelve months
We will have two tsp.FailrOsds. The
company who intend to build The
vIcksburg and Ship Island road Across
Big Black will be here, we understand,
By the 18th, to take steps TO have work
begun on that road. Our readers are
acquainted with the conditions entered
into By the county with this company.
The main basis of these conditions is
that work Is TO be done before the
bonds are TO be re.issued to the com.
pany. This is sn entirely different
mode to the Que the city has hitherto
pursued. The city has in times past
voted large amounts Of bonds TO rail-
roads 10 aid in their construction, and
she Las nothing now 10 show Tor this
hey yond little stump Of q railroad, and
a big stump of dearly bought exp1'
rience. This has justly discouraged
many cf oUr best cltiz .ns, aud a few "a
very few listen with impalieuce TO
plans proposed for securing two much
needed narrow.gauge tap'railroads to
the city. To thes: we wish to point
out the difference in the plans proposed
for building the Yicksburg and Ship
Island road across Big Black, and the
Deer Greek road through Sharkey
county. This difference should, In
our opinion, remove all scrupleS. Dy
the old plan bonds we're voted before
the roads were completed, and hence
the city took immense risk. By the
present plan, the roads must be built
before the city Issues any bonds, and
hence no risk whatever need be taken.
Taking into consideration the almost
incslculable benefits these two tap
road will be 10 us, we think the city
should take heart once more, and try
and secure them. The Deer Greek
road will be OF more benefit to the city
than anything we can conceive of.
TIE depot will be located In the upper
part OF the city, and the damage in.
flicied by the cutoff will thus be neu.
lralized The road will refuse TO pro-
rate with any other road, corporation,
or any individual, against the city Of
Yicksburg, aud the city will, therefore,
get all the trade OF the rich country
through which It passes. The company
propose 10 give all the contractors
among US chance for work on the
road, and this will cause TO be Gxpend-
ed here large portion of tue money
that it will take to build it. Every con-
siderAtion connected with II should
induce the city 10 agree to aid the road
with a liberal donation on its compile
tion to Rolling Fork.

APrayer to Get Out Of Debt.
st. Louis Republican !

81. Louis Republican
ST. Ann's, an ultra fashionable Epi.
sCOpal church on Brooklyn Heights,
owes $l3S,000. Strong efforts are being
made to pay Off this debt; and to aid
the good work, Rev. DR.. schenck, the
rector, has prepared the following
special prayer to be read as part Of the
usual Sunday service:
80 God, Holy Ghost, sausti6er OF the
Faithful, grant unto us Thy servants, that
most excellent gift Of charity, which shall
shall promote Thy kingdom and glory on
earth. And especially do we desire OF
Thee, y Blessed Jesus, who hath taught
US that we should owe no man anything
but 70 l0ve one another, that Thou wilt
prompt our congregation to devise liberal
| things In the effort now being made TO
relieve our parish wholly from the bur.
den OF debt. Enlarge, we beseech Thee,
the liberal OF heart. Loose those, we pray
Thee, who are bound up In worldliness,
and enable them to pArtake Of Thy free
spirlt. Put 1t into the hearts OF all to pray
and TO give even as they desire pardon OI
sin and the gift Of eternal life. May We
all wait upon Thee and work for Thy
church and give 10 Thy cause. Prosper
Thou, o God, the work OF our hands. mas
IL be begun, continued, and ended In Thee
And wilt Thou be pleased to bless oil thai
is attempted In our parish for the welfare
Of souls and for the honor and glory OF thC
Master. Wilt Thou accept our sacritcei
Of praise and prayer; accompany thC
sreachlng Of the world with the demon
stratiOn VI the spirit; crown with SUGGEST
the efforts that are being made in behal
OF little children and the suffering poor
and above all we pray that sinners may b
converted unto God, ana that there may bl
a great quickening Of the religious lie o.
the congregation, and heightened yea
impaired to all among us who profess ant
call themselves hrlstian. Til ese thing
we humbly beg, In the name Of Jesu
christ, our Saviour. Amen"
We hope the Cfi:Acy Of this praye
will not be seriously impaired by lh
fact that lie author could not see hi
way clear 10 read the burial servic
over q brother clergyman, Rev. Dr.
Porteous, because toe dead man wa
not In full communion aud Fellowship
with the Episcopal church. We trust
however, that when Rev. DIR. Schencl
Joins his congregation in saying, "Eu
large, we beseeCh Thee, the liberal o
. heart" he may remember that truu
liberality of heart embraces something
. else besides the pocket, and that If hi
{ own heart had been properly enlarged
be might have made better record II

Aa IaasFsstIng l.svee Case.

The case Of P. J. Meath va Board
Levee Commissioners Of Bolivar,
Washington, and Isssquena, was tried
and argued at great length in The
United States Court, last week, and de.
cided iu favor OF the Levee Board. This
csse involved some four hundred
thousand dollars, ard tie result is most
fortunate for the already heavily taxed
people Of that district. Had 1t been al.
lowed TO go almost By default, as was
the case OF the "Emmet Bank" against
Isssqlena county, the effect would have
been ruinous.
The effort Of Col. Percy 10 bis de.
tense was most mastery. Arraigned
against him were Col. Cant, Of Mem.
phis, an able and experienced lawyer,
aud the astute Nugeui, Of Jackson.
Capt. Frank Johnston assisted Colonel
Percy. After four days Of tedious aud
searching examination OF witnesses,
Col. Cant opened for the plaintiff, aud
was followed by Col. Percy, VINO com.
menced his argument at l0l5 o'clock,
aud the Court adjourned at 2.05 o'clock
for dinner; be resumed again at 1926
aud ended bis great speech al 6.3
o'clock. Fora plain, intelligent, and
eloquent argument, this defense Of the
Board has never beeu exceIled. The
greatest credit is due Col. Percy for
the energy, industry, aud zeal display
ed 10 the case, aud to him Is due the
thanks Of the people of the entire dis.
trict. Col. Nugent followed 10 40
able and ingenious argument, full Of
ability, IS oil his speeches are, aud
Capt. Frank Johnston closed. Upon
many points in the case as the closing
argument progressed, Judge Hill said
that II was not necessary to pursue that
branch of the argument further, so
thoroughly aud completely had it been
silted and elaborated by Col. Percy.
On the 5;h of April, at 5 % o'clock, the
Judge rendered his decision, aud 2. j.
Meath went uut OF Court. This termi.
mates, tor the present at any rate, his
immen.e claim Tor damAges.

inveighs bitterly against Carter for get

bids fair to be interesting. Indications
are TINT the usual Congressional ad.

SoNE TIME since when things looked
most threatening in Europe We ex.
pressed the opinion that there would
be no war between England and Rus.
Gle. OF course what any one on this
aide Of the Atlantic has 10 say about
The situation over there, is all guess
work, because II is impossible for
Americans to understand the intricate
complications OF European politics,
Indeed, there are hardly dozen per-
sons In Europe who understand the Of.
fairs Of the old world, for power there
is limited to very few. II we take
out the Premiers of England, Austria,
Russia, and Germany, there are no
others who can know what will be the
result Of the movements near Constan-
linople. II 10 therefore purely guePs
work. At this time, when everything
looks very pacific, the danger Of war
may possibly be most imminent. But
our impression is that there will be nc
war. We do not think the two grea
nations, Russia and England, wish L
90 to war. England's policy, from
time immemorisl, has been one o
peace. Her interests are scattered al
over the globe, and while hOr power II
immense, some of her interests Art
necessarily destined 10 suffer should
she engage In the war. Russia has al
ready felt England's blows, and Prince
GortschakotT is too shrewd diplomat
TO encounter them go long as they car
be avoided. He is quite capable o.
judging Of the difference, ten.fold ii
EnglAnds favor, between Turkey ant
England. Russia means to get all sh
eau out ether victories over the Turks
and Euglaud means to have a say il
the enal adjudication of the matter
but, In our opinion, neither one in
tends to 60 TO war about 1t. The,
may war tor weeks and even month";
as they have been doing recently oil

lighting will occur.

" C. EzUToES, MINI.

TIE following verses, with the intro
duclion, which explains their origin,
we're very effectively reciled by little
Harris Dickson, 81 Main Street School,
last Friday afternoon, and his teacher,
Mrs. Read, has kindly permitted uS to
publish them:
During the late war between the North
and south, various parodies appeared on
the Irisn ballad '!rhe Wearing OF the
Green such as-"W caring OF the Grey"
Wearing Of tine Blue" etc. Soon after
Its close, t5e following unpublished lines
were written by Northern man, then .
merchant In NicEGburg, who has since
died:
Let others Ging 10 melting strains,
Of Ofwearing Blue and Grey.
Let Erin breathe her song OF Green,
As time keeps on his way.
Our song is not OF flag, nor field,
Nor battles crimson track;
Bat Of the mothers, sisters, wives,
Who're wearing Of the Black.
Glory may -,le round tne Blue,
And val0r "rOwn the Grey.
And Erin feel beneath her Green,
The pulse Of freedom play,
For us, be glories Of the Camp
Bring no such trophies back;
But sad bereavement gives the right
Eor wearing Of the Black!
Go gaze on battles vaunted feldsl
Go walk their grave.y ards through,
The green turf grows above the hearts
That wore the Grey and Blue.
There. in the holy hour OF eve,
Before your steps turn back,
Then. ask that solemn widow why
she's we ring Of the Black!
No muse Of Grey, nos Blue. nor Green,
10 those whose hopes are dead.
Your boasted glory pales Its light,
When c7ildren cry for bread!
May He who leeds the ravens, guard
And hear the orphan's cries;
And lead the wtarerS OF the Black,
Back fr N the Bridge Of sighs."
For us, no song Of Blue nor Grey,
Nor Green, nor Red and White.
We'li wait and lab Ir through the day,
And weep and pray at night;
And when our journey 10 complete,
Dear Father, take us back,
Aud give US garments white as snow,
Who're wearing now the Black!

is Chinese agriculture that the wheaI
