We are not talking about the Jail. but about
Davis. and the sound condition Of Davis be-
fore his arrest.-Herald.
No, your readers have long since seen your
disposition to dodge the jail question. 1t was
so filthy you could not get up any argument
in its defence. We don't blame you for not
wanting to talk about the jail. The Herald
further says:
The Journal has quieted down and become
as docile a. q lamb. All its harsh statements
In regard to Davis, the Jail and Mr.. Long
have been cast upon the shoulders Of DR..
Jenney, and he will have to bear them.
All we did In the beginning Of the dis
cussion was 70 give our opinion based upon
DR.. Jenney's opinion Of Davis condition when
the latter went INTO the isil. II you can
make any stock out Of that pitch IN. As to
the condition Of the Jail. no one but the sub
sidized Herald and its subsidized editor be-
lieves it was in decent condition, un
til Mr.. Russell was made jailor.

What You Do, Do Well.

When you undertake to do anything, be
in earnest about it do it with your might.
Fortune and fame are often lost by not
being in earnest. This is n real world-a
world of real work, real success, real con-
ilicts, real failures, real triumphs, real de-
feats. And let no one be so over conf
dent in his own abilities as to look with in.
difference upon the difficulties before him
the danger and trials that he must pass in
order TO reach the goal upon which his eye
is fixed. Full and glorious success never
yet did crown the lunguid and Indifferent
exercises of the powers of mine and body.
1t requires effort to push ones craft against
the current of rivalry, jealousy and vice
ind if one would have his progress marked
by complete triumph, his efforts must be
yell-directcd, constant, and unrelaxing.
But he who feels that he has only to lie
in nctivc and wait for the wind of fortune to
drift him into the haven of wealth and
fame, has lost every promise of success, and
ia in far more danger of ultimate disaster
than the tempest-tos mariner, though
his mast be gone and his vessel shattered
and torn by the raging sea. BE in earnest I;
meet the difficulties which daily arise with
determination to conquer and rise above
them. Let not your adversary find you
sleeping or dreaming of IN easy conquest.
Too much confidence in ones powers is
fatal to success, and often brings defeat
most disastrous. BE faithful, be true, be
kind, be firm, be earnest.

require an impossible stretch of the imagi-
nation for him to conceive what his feelings
would be, if no Were compelled to ask some
oody when he wan ed a new hat, or coat, or

approximate to something near her state of
mind, il he could recall his abject sterror,
when, us q boy, he approached his father to
crave the boon of q few extra dollars. A
lady said to us ~ have lain awake half the
night, dreading the stern necessity of asking
my husband for money next day" Another
said: 'Ifl was absolute mistress of oven the

AGRICULT r COLLEGE.

/ The Brandon Republican fayors
an agricultural college, with a model
farm attached, where poor boys CAT
pay their board 10y working two or
three hours each day on the farm.
We hope such n college will be
established and Dir. NJ. w. Philips
made president. 1t would only be
a proper recognition for a lifetime
devoted to the improvement oil
southern agriculture. - Meridian
Homestead.
To establish a college of this
character would be one Of the no.
blest ac;s the Legislature could do.
Such an institution is badly needed
in this state, and we hope some
member will introduce a bill looking
TO the establishment Of such q col.
lcge. Arkansas has an agricultural
college, which is accomplishing great
good in the wsy of giving poor
boys an education By paying for the
same in work, and we cannot see
why Mississippi could not afford to
do the same thing.
No better man could be found to
take charge Of such an institution
than our old time friend Dr.. NJ. W.
Philips, who has spent a long life in
trying TO advance the agricultural
interests of the south by practical
experiment ard by the use OF his
pen. We say Mississippi needs an
agricultural college and should
have one.

In building q railroad through
the state to the ~seashore, the idea
of a narrow gauge should not be
tolerated. We want G road of the
regular width, that cars on our road
may be transferred to other roads
leading north without breaking
bulk. In shipping lumber from this
place TO the prairie countries of the
north, it would be too expensive to
transfer the load from cars on this
TO that of other roads. The
same can be said of fruits and veg>
etables-in fact, fruits and vegeta-
bles will not bear unloading and
reloading. Give US road On which
we can send loaded cars through
from the sea to Chicago, St. Louis,
and other western and northern
cities.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The sig>

Ankcrs, sailed from Philadelphia
on the morning Of the 29th of JAM
uary, bound for Madeira, Brazil,
South America. The total number
of passengers 26Q. About l60 are
drowned; about 100 saved.
The steamer is a total wreck, and
nothing is LEI; above the water.
There is no bodies aboard. The
wreck was caused by the vessel
being unscaworthy. She sprung a
leak about II o'clock midnight,
and stranded at 7 o'clock a. M,
January 81.
The only means of saving life
was by running ashore, as the vessel
was in a sinking condi ton. This
is the statement of Lou McQuillan,
one of the saved.
8 a. m.-The state of affairs this
morning is terrible. Dead bodies
are lyiog along the beach for a dis
tancc OF two miles. They are all
being placed in proper places, back
from the beach, and the living are
being cared for. Abont one-third
of those found are dead.
ANOTHER SEA HORROR.
New YORK Feb. 2.-The schooner
Ella Haynes, supposed to be from
Providence with a cargo of salt,
went ashore on Plum island, in the
sound, early yesterday morning,
and, before assistance could reach
her, sank with all on board.
Capt. Mcpherson, OF schooner
Chester, reports sighting the Haynes
signaling for assistance, bnt being
unable to reach her owing to the
heavy sea and dangerous locality,
bore away; suddenly a high sea
swept over the deck Of the Haynes,
which threw her on her beam ends,
and in a few moments went TO pieces
and sank out o Insight.
