Proof tha. the top Of wagon wheel,
when running along the ground, moves
faster than the bottom, is given, by in

writer, that an instantaneous photograph
Of I wheel, revolving upon it's axle in
TIE sir, will show oil parts Of the wheel
in. equal distinctness. But II the wheel
has = progressive motion, and any one
portion has q greater motion than its
corresponding part, above or below,
there must be liability to Marring 10
that part Of the picture. These pictures
are taken with SO brief an exposure that
the horse, though moving ata4:A gait,
is sharply outlined. The wheels OF tue

~RNSLNESS ONTE0OK.

During the week the mills OF
Messrs. Denny & Co., Bercier &
DeSmet, and l.. n. Dantzler, all OF
Moss Point, started 10 saving
again after a suspension of over
three months. Within a few days
monday probably the rest of the
mills will resume saving, and then
our community will wear its usual
busy aspect.
The order Of Judge Hill released
all except three or four mills, and
the owners of these have given
bond, or will do so, and now we
do not presume they will again be
interrupted. The best part Of the
season for foreign shipments has
passed, but still there remains sew
eral months in which this trade can
be prosecuted. Within a week. Or
two-just as soon as the news
reaches the foreign countries and
vessels can be dispatched-our port
will be again filled with vessels
from almost all nations, the sound
of the whistles on the steam stugs
will be heard as they ply up and
down tho river, the stevedores will
be active and busy, and the whole
atmosphere will be filled with the
busy sound Of the whizzing saw
and the happy voices of the people
as they go forth with renewed en-.
ergy and life to their long neglected
work.
Our citizens have surely just
emerged from a fearful and trying
siege, but have stood the striDgency
Of the times much better than many
of us imagined could be done under
the circumstances. The loss to our
people in the suspension of business
will probably never be known,
though we are satisfied will au cunt
to several hundred thousand dollars.
and for which our citizens should he
reimbursed either by the general
government or by action against
United States Marshal Hunt and
his sureties, though these matters
will be attended to ere loug.

snErRAGE onALWlcATIONs.

0GFFA avn 'EGsifAff
The subject OF kind of qualiiica'
ton for voters has been considera'
bly, agitated through our state ex-
changes lately, and it was thought
the legislature would have taken
some action upon this important
matter before this ; but it seems
each one Of that august body is
waiting for the other to introduce
the subject. In some states an edu.
cational qualification is required,
while in others it is based upon q
property qualification, but in our
state VIC do not think either OF these
qualifications would meet the wishes
oil the majority Of the people, though
we are FULLY persuaded some kind OF
o qualification is demanded, and we
know of more better than that OF
requiring each voter 10 pay a poll
tax. We do not believe any man
should be allowed to exercise the
right of voting, and thereby help to
place men in Office, who does not in
some way assist in supporting the
government which, by the act OF
exercising the right OF franch sc,
he aids in perpetuating.
According to our ideas of govern
ment, no man who does not feel
enough interest in the afflirs OF
his state to assist in some way the
government which protects him IN
life, liberty and property, he should
not be allowed to help place men in
office by his vote. III the language
Of the Jackson Clarion, no more
important subject than this OF regu-
lating suffrage can engage the atten'
ton Of the legislature. and the PEG
pie will be disappointed if a consti-
tutional amendment having the
above object in view isaot submitted
10 them for adoption.
