Mississippi Election.

A big row is under way in DeSoto
county, Miss. over the recent election.
Several ballot boxes we're burnt. At
one precinct the friends of Rains, a
candidate for sheriff, drew pistols and
said there woul | be a row forthwith.
unless the box was opened for inspec
ton before the voting began. The
judges yielded, when it was found that
200 spurious ballots for Graves, an
opponent, had been deposited in
the box before the polls were
opened. Of course this box
was cleaned out. At another
poll tickets were marked by numbers
so as to detect fraud, and the counters.
upon making up the tally, threw these
out on the ground that they were mu-
tilated, which, in the minds of legal
gentlemen, is an absurdity. There is
a world of litigation in prospect be.
tween the ms and the outs, and it ap-
pears to be a most beautiful row as it
stands. They seem to have ballot-box
suffers over the border as we'll as
elsewhere. High charges Of fraud
and counter fraud prevail in various
parts of North Mississippi. Such are
the beauties of our popular election
system.

How TO KEEP CooL.-Correct habits CT body
and mind will antagonize and generally over
come the most persistent efforts of the sun. To
begin, avoid heating food; most people allow
the palate to determine whatthey shall eat and
how much, which ls as foolish as to allow the
family fire to select such fuel as best pieases it
-gunpowder, nitro glycerine, etc. Do not in
crease your physical temperature, particularly
that Of your head, by drinking alcoholic bever-
ages; when water does not suffice as drink
consult physician instead of barkeeper.-
Use water externally and frequently; no one
can get rid OF superduous heat through O skin
the poses Of which are tightly sealed. If you
have great many cigars that ought to be
smoked before they grow dry and tasteless.
give them to your enemy; 1t is better that his
liver should be deranged than yours, for q
torpid liver induces a weak, hot head. At least
once day take exercise enough to cause free
perspiration; the man who perspires most is
always the coolest; the soldier on drill in
wooden clothing under q hot sun, with the
thermometer in the nlneties, Is more comforta-
BILE than the lounger in white linen and sun
umbrella who looks at him. Hyou have first
rate thing to get angry about lay it carefully
away until cold weather. Do not worry; it is
frightfully heating as well as physically ex-
travagant. Sleep regularly and full hours,
resisting the temptation to sit up late because
the evening Is the only cool part of the day
hundred other suggestions might bo offered,
but the above, If followed. will enable many q
heat stricken mortal to imagine that this Is
not SO dreadfully hot a summer after ALL

BUTrERMILK.-Asa drink for men at work
in the hot sun, huttermilk is far preferable to
older, metheelin, or any preparation of beer
whatever. as it is not only cooling and refresh

are plenty of people who are constantly dosing
themselves with blood searchers, liver purif-
ers. and stomach invigorators, who would
laugh at the mention Of buttermilk as medi-
cine, and yet If they could be once persuaded to
try drinking glass of that fresh beverage eve-
ry day, they would soon find it o corrective Of
their poor appetites and ''clogged- Up livers."-

: A FAITHFUL NEGRo.-On Wednesday last as
the stage was about to start from Midway
lady got in and a little negro girl was observed
standing near by, whom the lady told to go
back. She replied that she was her mistress
and she did not intend to leave her, but would
walk. The stage started and nothing more was
thought about the little girl Just before arriv
ing at Fairfield the driver looked around and
saw her running along beside the stage and
she kept it up all the way from Midway to
Lexington, a distance of Is miles. She must,
indeed, have been strangely attached to her
mistress who, on the contrary, did not seem to
appreciate it much, or she would have opened
her heart and rewarded her faithful servant by
letting her ride. The first thing the lady did
upon arriving in Lexington, was to call to the
little girl who had run and walked Is miles
saying, "Cofne here, quick, and take the baby,
for am too tired to hold him." She was evil
