The Mississippi press association
met in Vicksburg, or rather in the
beer garden there, on Wednesday
last. 1t opened with the ludicrous
spectacle of Col. A. Y. Harper, of
OkolOna, by an address, welcoming
Col. i'll. Holland, of Holly Springs,
and his brother quill drivers, to the
heroic city of Vicksburg. Col.
Holland, the president, delivered II
neat and appropriate address. He
was followed by Mr.. WIN. Walton
IoskiDs, we believe, who tainted
before reading his fourth stanza.
Whether it was because of being
shut up in "a beer garden for the
trst time in his life, or from n regu-
lar attack OF vertiginOus nervous
ness, did not appear. 1t was
thought for while that il the
country editors could he Gagged and
set around the garden in pairs and
triplets, it might pay better to con
fine them and exhibit them to
sight.seers at from a nickel tn a
half-dollar. But few. piney woods
quill smashers objected, as they
wanted the freedom of the garden.
A compromise was effected, we be-
lieve, by letting the rural journalists
roam at large and charging d fee
for seeing the crowd at the door.
A portion of the official proceedings
we publish. 1t is understood that
the Bourbon platform was adopted
by a large majority. Col. Holland
would have asked Tor another tent
had lie not been informed that,
although called the beer gardens,
the soil produced also a splendid
crop of Holland gin. Walton Hos
kins aud Will. ii. Herman said they
had not been accustomed to mixing
poesy and beer, but it might be a
real benefit to their productions.
Alph Harper remarked, What
flower blossoms more beautifully
than that toaming glass that a. }.
Frautz is lifting to his lips = Both
then pronounced the place highly
poetic, as much so as a maiden on
mountain waterfall. We under
stand that the proprietor OF the
garden wanted to engage Col. Har-
per for the summer, as he could
make some mouey for both of them
by it. The colonel did not like this
aud moved to hold the meeting
elsewhere, but the beer gardens
friends voted him down and inyited
the irate gentleman to take quarters
at the Washington Hotel at
81 75a day. The proceedings were
very interesting, but the beer
glasses, followed by little linen clad
urchins so distracted the attention
of members that much fell still-born
to the earth.
We regret that our co-workers IN
ink and paper did not draw so well
as Miss KusteE But we learn that
had they remained till Saturday
night the hackmeu and hotel walters
intended to publish their tender of
il benefit to the press OF the State.
They needed it, eentlemen--lower
fully bad.

Civil Service.

The Hayes administration has
again signalized the sincerity of its
civil service reform professions by
appointing John G. Freemont Gov
ernor of Arizona. There never was
a mere complete specimen of a
broken down adventurer and cor
ruptionist. Years ago he went up
like "a comet and came down like a
stick. His first adventure was as a
"free soil candidate tor the presi-
dency in 1856. Subsequently he
went into the business of railroad
building. aud as contemporary
expresses it, conceived the con-
struction of "a grand trans-conti-
mental railway on the southern line,
commanded the favor of congress
and the confidence of Paris bankers,
only TO be swamped in irretrievable
bankruptcy, denounced as swind-
Ier and convicted of tIslnd in the
criminal courts of France In the
depths of this inflmy, the admins
tration has found him and invested
him with the governorship OF
Arizona.-JdcksOn Clarion.

CORTLAND VILLAGE, N. Y, Aug. IL, 1859.
None but the fuli-blood Aieriuo
ram should be used under any cir
cumstances. A different course
would, at best, lead to u retarda-
ton of the desired Improvement,
of more amount than many times
the cost of the necessary full.blood
rams; and the degree and kind of
improvement would become wholly
a matter of uncertainty. Every
breeder whose means admit Of it
will do well also to start with a
more limited flock of full-blood
ewes. They constitute the fouuda
tion of future pure flock, and are
the nursery to draw rams from,
without the expense of resorting to
new purchases every two or ttres
years.
When wool is the main object
and mutton is only an incidental
one, as always must be the case
in large and thinly inhabited
country like Texas, not yet con.
tanning populous cities, there is
but one breed of sheep worth con
sideration, so far as comparative
intrinsic value is concerned. /
can declare on "A pretty extensive
experience-but it really needs no
experience to arrive at that cen
clusion, that no other breed makes
- remote approach to the value of
the Merlno for the production OF
wool; and it's mutton is good aud
palatable. Half and three quarter
breed Merlno mutton is especially
SO, and five Americans ont OF six
would prefer it on the stable to the
| tallowy meat of the large, long
wooded English mutton varieties.
Well bred Merino yield about as
much wool per head as the largest
English long -wooled breeds; yield
tar more than English middle
wooled breeds; yield about twice
as much value of wool for the
amount of feed consumed as any
English breed, and are harder,
and herd (that is, thrive. when
kept together in large numbers)
better than any of the more valuable
English varieties. iEheir length of
life is much greater, A Merin0 is
not, to use II common expression,
solder at eight than Bakewell
or southern sheep is at five. And,
what may not be quite AZ we'll un.
derstood by those who have uot
experimental with both races. as I
have, the nerino is decidedly
harder than the high bred English
sheep. 1t is less addicted to colds
or snuffies, bears extremes OF
weather better, is capable OF travel
ing farther for its food, and will
endure a scarcity of food wltG, far
greater iBpunity. --a.
repeat my former adjuration, to
keep down the doss--that curse of
sheep raising in Virginia, the Caro-
iinas, etc, which is more fatal than
all others, and which is next TO
impossible to get rid of when it has
once got fair footing.

The belle of the Vicksburg press
convention was Miss Willie Sharpe,
daughter of Gen. j. ii. Sharpe, of
Columbus. She is a little typo in
the Independent office, can easily set
two columns of type per day, aud
she really makes a business of it.
Her face is as bright and sparkling
as the mind of which it is u reflex.
and her frank naive manners capt.
vate every one with whom she
comes in contact. We opine that
several young editors have expert
enced Sharpe pains in the region OF

Whenever and Wherever

Diseases of choleratic type prevail, or
there is cause to apprehend visit from,
the system should be toned, regulated and
reinforced by course Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Perfect digestion and
regular habit of body are tho best safe
guards against such maIadies, and both are
secured by this inestimablc tonic and al
terative. The Bitters are also extremely
serviceable in remedying such disorders.
If promptly taken in bilious collie, diar-
rhga and cholera morbus, the disease is
usually frustrated. In diarrhma cases it is
only necessary to restore the tone of the
relaxed bowels, and this is one of the spe-
cific effects of this medicine. Wind on
the stomach, heartburn, biliousness, nau-
sea, headache, and other symptoms Of dis
turbance in the gastric and hepatic regions
are also speedily relieved by this excel
lent remedy. As a family medicine it is
invaluable, since it promptly and com
pletely remedies those ailments which are
Of most frequent occurrence.

Facts Concerning the Use Of Alcohol.

l. The healthy mau, with a full and varied
supply OF food, needs absolutely no ale Dhel.
Wine with food sometimes assists digestion,
but the digestion which needs the aid is either
enfeebled or overburdened. The most severe
and long continued labor can be carried Oh
better without alcohol than with il. This IL,
in most eases, especially true Of mental labor.
= In the few cases in which this is not true
and where small quantity of alcohol suffices
merely to restore the normal viEor without
excitement, the previous condition is probably
one OF somewhat impaired vitality, perhaps
more especially affecting the heart. As an adj
ditiOn TO diet already sufficient. alcohol is,
to say the least. useless in perfect health.
B. An occasional use of light wine or beer IS
luxury and not necessity. Experience
shows that such use cannot be regarded as
seriously detrimental either TO bodily or to
mental vigor.
4. After fatiguing days work, as a relaxa-
ton and agreeable change, or as a prelude
and assistance 10 the digestion of more appro-
pirate food, alcohol may be looked upon as
approaching more nearly TO true S:imulant
or restorative action, than under any other
circumstances in health. We thus expect from
il neither intoXicatIon nor reaction.
.. An hahllual overdose of alcohol leads to
degeneration of important organs, aud under
mines the vi al powers.
d. There may be- more reasons for total ab-
s,inence entirely distinct from the physiology
cal.
Z. The introduction of the use OF light wine
and beer, though not desirable in a commu-
nitv already in a state of ideal physical and
moral perfection, is highly desirable as 4 sub
SiitUte for strong liquor.-[D DIR. Ede$,

American Girls I'm PARIS

among the many wonders of the exhibition
none i more striking than the little compatriot,
the dainty, the delicate and the irrepressible
American girl, who has come for the first timo
to Europe, and who airs her surprise and pleas
ure with grace peculiarly her own. Ii is re-
freshing 10 meet her in the midst of this dead
wilderness OF conventiOnality, to see her set
at defiance the naughty indifference of the
blonde maids of Albion and the excessive
gducherfe and over -delicacy of the unmarried
French girl. When she comes from England
ii is scarcely necessary 10 say thai she allows
herself to be surprised by little or nothing
that she treats this pearl of Paris with cool
Yet well bred disdatn, which would arouse
the vindictiyeneSS OF the Gauls could
they but understand IL. She viii drink
ice-water, she will flirt and she will
persist that there Is nothing whatever
which could render il worth her while to re-
main on this side OF the ocean. She has an inn
preston that Paris was burned - ashes during
commune. afu SnnG IS Surprised TO find il so
wen hlit up again. AS for the exhibition, she
declares that it Is not as fine as "ours," aid
her patriotism is so earnest she would like TO
declare her nationality at every second STEP
heaven bless her. She is bewildering mys-
tery-a lovely mass of contradic,ions-ab being
10 De very proud OF and TO allow TO conduct
herself as she pleases. Now and then she en-,
counters the serious Boston young lady who
has come over with the intention Of learning
Paris and the exhibition by heart before she
returns. She goes at work with a grim per
siStence and with disregard for physical dis
comfort which makes her apparently moro
robust English sister hold UP her hands In holy
