American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1878-02-02

On a visit to New orleans during
the past week, we were saddened by
the sight of the many advertise
ments and bills posted declaring
bankruptcy and reduction i'll prices
OK all kinds of goods for liquidation
Several prominent houses on Canal,
and other streets, were thus being
closed out, and among the most
notable failures was that of the ST.
James Hotel. On Wednesday last
the Sheriff called and made levy
on the furniture for large amount
in favor OF Mr.. Rivers. Thursday
the hotel was closed, the boarderS
all seeking other quarters. Gen.
SmetleS is a very popular gentleman
and has many friends. We heard
many expressions of regret at bis
misfortune. The St. Charles still
holds itself loftily with it's $3.50 per
diem. The City Hotel-"the old
reliable" still holds its sway over
the travelling public, for they come
from the North, South. East and
West at all times and hours. Mum
ford & Watson, its whole sOuled pro-
prietors, have succeeded III building
up a reputation i'll their business of
which they may justly feel proud.
These worthy gentlemen are now
reaping the reward of their indOm~
table energy, industry, and hon
esty, and are so well and favorably
known throughout the States that it
seems almost y work of supereroga-
ton to enlarge upon their merits.
Their employees, from the polite and
obliging agent, Mr.. John Fender,
who conducts visitors on the Jacks
son road from beyond Manchac to
the hotel, down to the bell boy, all
understand their business and at
tend. to it. Mr.. Finn, the accom-
plished and accommodating clerk,
neglects no order entrusted to him,
by day or night. But the browning
comfort of all is the homclike feeling
which comes over the weary, hungry
traveller when committed to the ten
der .hercies of that unrivalled cater
er for the public taste, the presiding
genius of the dining room Major
Michael Leeny.
Nav he never lack lunch,
Nor bowl o good hot pnuch.
With this last kindest wish we leave
our friends of the City Hotel, as our
printer Is calling for ''copy."

hold, too, these implements of husbandryi
moreover, to my fields, and behold there
how they are titled, how manurcd, how
weeded, how watered, how fenced in! And
when," added he, raising his voice, "you
have beheld all these things, you will have
beheld all the art, the charms, the magic,
which Cressin has used"
What more could just and intelligent
Judges do than acquit such man of the
crime of which he was so foolishly accused ?
Maniiestly he had chosen in early life the
calling that best suited his abilities, and had
applied his every hour in porfccting him
self in a knowledge fits mysteries. Hence,
while his ill-starred neighbors were suffering
with want, he was prospecting. How many
farmers nowadays are out of their place ;
and how many a young man, by consent
and advice of the parents, has left the home
stead, to seek employment in some other
sphere of life, when his abilities eminently
fitted him for prosperity on the farm
But the fault does not always lie so much,
we fancy, with parents as with children
themselves, who are led astray by caprice
and inclination. A blue coat and shining
buttons lures many youngster into the
navy, who is no way fitted to tread the
quarterback; many misguided lad has
deemed himself Nelson or Howe, and
found out too late the misery of his choice.

AN ASTONISHING FACT.-A large
proportion Of the American people are to-day
dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or dis
ordered liver. The result of these diseases
upon the masses of intelligent and valuable
people is most alarming, making life actual
ly burden instead of a pleasant existence
Of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought TO be.
There is no good reason for this, if YOU will
only throw aside prejudice and skepticism,
take the advice of Druggists and your friends,
and try one bottle of Green's August Flower.
Your speedy relief is certain. Millions of
bottles of this medicine have been given
away TO try its virtues, with satisfactory re-
suits in every case. You can buy a sample
bottle for 10 cents TO try. Three doses will
relieve the worst case. Positively sold by
all druggists on the Western Continent, and

EASTER AT BETHLEHEM.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune
thus describes the celebration of Easter at
the old Moravian town of Bethlehem, Pa.
Going to Bethlehem, and staying at one of
the quiet little hotels there, one is, aroused
early on Easter morning by the .aound Of
music. This year it was at 2 o'clock that
we heard the trombones of the choir playing,
up in the belfry of the church AN old chorale,
to awaken the sleeping world, and, in ac-
cordancc with an old German cqstom,to pro-
claim that "Christ is risen."- Heard from
distance, through the stiffness of the night,
there was something wonderfully beautiful
and touching in this first announcement of
our Lords Resurrection. Again at 8 and
then at 4, the playing of the trombones was
repeated and at quarter to 5 the first SER
vice took place in the church. And there is
another custom which, among some of the
older members at least, is still preserved,
that Of saying to each one whom they meet
on Easter morning on their way to church,
"Christ is risen," and they who are greeted
thus reply, "Christ is risen indeed" The
church itself was crowded; people come from
all the neighboring country to this service,
and by two or three o'clock they could be
heard driving into town. The pulpit was
prettily decorated with flowers and greens,
but that was all The early service in the
church was in English, and lasted rather
over half an hour; there were prayers, read
ing of the Bible, and hymns sung to noble
old German chorales, all full of the bright
and jubiliant Easter spirit. But with the
close Of the service in the church came the
most impressive part of the ceremonies of the
day. The sun had not yet risen, but tho
daylight was fast breaking, when headed by
the trombones, the whole congregation form
Goods Acre." the burial ground, there among
the graves of those that they had loved and
lost, to hold Rerviee Of rejoicing, and to
testify to their firm confidence in the resur-
rcction of the dead. A more lovely scene
have hardly ever seen, the pure, fresh morn
ing air, the birds twitterng and singing
among the trees, the grass all studded with
blooming violets, the distant hills and trees
touched with the growing sunlight, these,
with the flood of Easter thoughts and men,
ories which rushed in on one, lent beauty
and impressiyeness to the service which it is
hard to convey any idea of. The service it.
self was short, with, as before, some prayers,
some Bible lessons and much singing, but
grand in its pure simplicity; and when it
was over the congregation dispersed, many
of them going about decorating the graves
Of their friends with flowers and vines.

CHOOSING A PROFESSION.

A very important question for young
man or for his parents to decide is the choice
of a profession-the decision shaping his
whole future career. In this important
matter there must be caution in the decision
not too much haste-for many, very many,
decide unwisely, and arc wretched through
life in having mistaken their vocation.
We constantly see misplaced men in the
various walks of life - lawyers without
clients, doctors without patients, actors with
out applause, printers who "pi" every thing
they touch, who ere useless to the world
and to themselves, from incapacity, but who
might have done well had not whim and
undue influence, instead of aptitude and fit
ness for a vocation, decided their choice of a
career.
Some people attribute to witchcraft orluck
the success in life of the man who has fitted
himself to a profession.
Pliny tells us of one Cressin, who so titled
and manured a piece ofground that it yield
cd him fruits in abundance, while the lands
around him remained extremely poor and
barren. His simple neighbors could not
account for the wonderful difference on any
other suppostion, than that of his working
by entertainments and they actually pro-
ceeded to arraign him for his supposed
sorcery before the judgment seat.
GLOW is it," said they, "unless it be that
he enchants us, that he can contriye to draw
such a revenue from his inheritance, while
we, with equal lands, are wretched and mis-
erableg
Cressin was his own advocate; his case
was one which required neither ability to
eXpound nor language to recommend.

LEGISLATIVE.

We take the following from the house
proceedings OILS:
The consideration OF the bill fixing
the compensation ofcounty superintend-
ents was resumed on second reading
and was passed after nearly an hours
discussion. 1t provides that superin-
tendents Of all the counties except Phil.
adelphia shall receive 81 for every
school and IS cents for every square
mile in their county. If the amount do
not reach $500 they shall receive that
amount. In every county having 100
schools and over the salary shall be at
least 81 600 and not exceeding $1,000.
The local option bill was next consid-
cred on second reading. Mr.. Gehr said
that the bill had no more chance ofpass-
ing than he had of flying to heaven, and
he therefore moved TO postpone it in
definitely TO prevent the alleged further
waste of time in its discussion.
The motion was defeated by a vote OF
so nays TO 70 yeas.
The question being on the amend
ment of Mr.. Long to exclude from the
provisions Of the act native wines and
malt liquors.
Mr.. Morgan submitted the following
amendment, which was disagreed to.
That all damages to personal character
or property caused by the sale or use Of
intoxicating drinks in any county shall
be assessed upon and collected from any
or all persons engaged in the manufac-
ture or sale of spirituous, vinous or
brewed liquors.
The amendment relating 10 native
wines and malt liquors was defeated by
"a yeas to lis nays.
The next question was an amendment
by Mr.. Long requiring counties voting
against license TO reimburse owners of
distilleries and breweries. The amend
ment was defeated by the following vote
Yeas 43, nays 100.
The vote was then taken on the first
section ofthe bill, and it was defeated
and consequently the bill. The yeas and
nays were as follows;
