AN ingenious combination, in
which the frame of a pocketbook,
cigar case and revolver are united
has been recently invented by a
resident CT Nuremberg, Germany.
The advantage of such pocket ar
ticle will be res'ily perceived, as it
forms a convenient mode of carry.
ing a revolver for protection, espe.
clally when attacked, as it can be
iii ed at a highwayman when hand.
ing the pocketbook. The revolver
10 arranged at the interior, and is
attached 10 the frame, being sepa-
raied by a metallic partition from
the folding pocketbook. TIE trig,
ger is made to swing downward for
ring, and can he bent upward into
groove, secured by a catch when
not in use. An opening in the side
OF the frame is closed by a hinged
cap which is opened and shut BY
TIC action Of the trigger.

Senator Foote, OF Noxuoee, has
introduced a bill looking to the
building of the Ship Island railroad
from the Tennessee river to the sea
coast, by convict labor. We have
long favored this plan, and believe
that if the state should ofer the La
Dor of her co nvicts as a bonus to the
company that would employ them in
building the road, capitalists could
be found who would be willing to
embark in the enterprise.

A LAW has been enacted by the
Pennsylvania legislature which
makes il a penal offense fer the
officers of any corporate company,
or trust, to lie to the public or
stockholders. 1t seems hardly fair
to deprive. so many of these men of
their principal means OF support in
this manner, for it must be con-
lessed that when the lies which
sustain many corporations are re-
moved, the entire structure vanishes
like the baseless fabric OF a vision"

APPOINTMENT OF RADICAL.


In another column will be found
a communication by "Publicola,'
which we copy from the Clarion, in
regard to the appointment of radi,
calls 10 Office by our governor,
which expresses our sentiments ex-
actly. It has appeared strange to
US why Gov. Stone retained DR.,
Compton as superintendent of the
lunatic asylum thus long, when it
was a notorious fact that he was
one OF the most offensive of. all
the radical robbers and plum
ders in the state of Mississippi.
As editor of the blacklist and most
infamous of sheets, the Jackson Pilot,
he never let an opportunity pass for
villifying and defaming our people,
and Of using his influence as editor
oil the radical organ in securing the
passage oil the most Infamous and
obnoxious laws.
VIZ hope Gov. Stone has no idea
of re-appointing DR.. Compton, for
we believe ii would be an insult 10
the intelligence Of our democratic
home physicians, and to the people
OF the whole state, but should he do
so. we trust there are senator's
enough to be found in our senate

A Ne w P1TENT

A Virginian has recently gotter
out q patent hal threatens to super
cede the Mofett bell punch, which is
becoming so popular all over the
country. His plan is that the liqnor
dealers and bar. rooms shall be SUP
piled with books of coupons fur
nished by the state auditor. When
the dealer sells q drink, the consumer
receives a coupon, which entities him
to receive fromthe state, in payment
of his taxes, one cent. When two
drinks are paid, an orange-colored
coupon worth two cents is given ;
if five drinks a blue coupon, good
for five cents, and so on. This is
an admirable arrangement both for
the state and tax payer. The bars
keeper must purchase the coupons
from the state, which refunds a por-
ton of the purchase money 10. the
tax payer. Undoubtedly three tax
out OF five would feel it a
duty to gatLer in enough coupons to
pay their taxes, and the biggest tax
payers would necessarily have to do
the most drinking. The attention
Of our Solonsris directed to this new
scheme while they are considering
he whisky tax question.
