Happy Thoughts.
Albany Argus.


He is a good man indeed who does
all the good he talks of.
1t is possible for a man to know
his own mind and yet know v'ry lit,
tie
1t is perfectly safe to have some
men owe you grudge, for they never
pay anything.
1t does not follow that a black.
smith has no virtues because he is al
ways to be found at his vice.
1t is a good proverb which says
tLat every man hath his cricket in his
head and makes it sing as be pleases.
The vain man is, after all, he hap
piest. While the crest of us are try
ing to please others he is perfectly
satisfied if he only pleases himself.

Unprincipled Performance.

A citizen who should be preparing
himself for the unknown life beyond
the grave instead of being up 10 such
tricks, II moved the setting from his
big gold ring the other day, leaving
a marked and decided vacancy He
gets on street Car, holds his hand
SO the ring must be seen, and pretty
soon a man bends forward and re
marks:
''Excuse me, sir, but you have
lost the set from your ring
80 L have" replies the owner, as
he looks around on the floor.
Every passenger began to peer
around, and the man who made the
discovery tiually asks:
Was it valuable set?'
at was thousand dollar dia-
mond," is the calm reply.
There is another movement on the
part of passengers. ONE looked
along the seat, some under it, and
some make dive for pearl buttons
and other small objects
"When did you miss it?' asked
the first man as the search weakens u
little.
"a year and a half ago, when L
was attending camp meeting in Hill
nois!' is the sad reply.
Then every passenger straightens
up, each eye looks into vacancy, and
not the faintest sni'e can be seen on
any face. A person boarding the
car just then would wonder what great
man in the city had just died, aud if
the passengers we've on their way to
take sad farewell look al the re-
mains.

moment for their departure.
Tie unceasing regularity became
at last annoying, and / insistir g on
knowing. the cause. The information
given to me was that The old castle
and house was haunted, and for no
inducements would the servants re-
main after l had assembled from the
parlor. l had now reasons for think
ing there was some grounds for the
fears. The pantry particularly, and
the rest of the house with it, were
walked over by footsteps at night
These were plainly heard and there
was added an additional aggravation !;
for not content with this, the s'super-
NATURAL visitor began to do mis-
chief, generally in the gray of the
morning made free with eatables and
pots of jam on the shelves, occasion
ally breaking a glass or plate.
10 add to this mystery, though
the pantry was carefully locked every
night, the depredations still contin-
ued, and at length the tie, ror of each
nights visitation became greater and
greater, and various stories began to
be circulated, one being that the visit
ant was the spirit of a nun condemned
to suffer the pangs of hunger for
some transgression. This was sup
ported by the circumstance of the old
castle and grounds having been some
years before occupied as a convent.
The only opening into the pantry
was through ventilatOr in the roof,
very high up, and adjoining one of
the lofty walls of the old castle.
Through this no human being could
obtain an entrance but it was enter
ed by monkey, who came to it in
this way. One of the pilot boats was
taking off pilot to ship to relieve
the one on duty, when the monkey,
sick suppose of the sea, and deter
mined not to lose the opportunity,
jumped into the boat, and on nearing
the shore, jumped out again, and
sougkU the nearest shelter, which hap
pened to be the old castle. The
ship was from the West Indies. laden
with sugar. The monkey, though
missed from the homeward bound,
WAS unnoticed by the pilot crew, and
finding his way from the castle to the
ventilator of the adjoining dwelling
house pantry, sought to allay his
hunger there when all was quiet at
night. By day the creature lay hid
den in the old castle and it was only
after lapse of many days and nights
that poor Jacko was discovered peep
ing out from his lodging in the Old
Norman keep.
1t not unfrequertly happens that
houses are haunted, and kept haunted
by certain persons who have direct
interest in keeping up the silly trick.
In the same neighborhood--the neigh
borhood of the old castle-was
house reputed to be haunted, and
which has maintained It's reputation
for more than two summers. Foot
steps are heard at night, doors are
slammed, and Oh one occasion jugs
of wa er have been poured upon some
members of the family, to their great
discomfort. The ghost has been clev-
er, and has not yet been caught; but
the solution is not far TO find, as the
caretaker has comfortable resi- lence
gratis, which is lost when the house
is let and occupied for the season.

Death OF Mrs. Mary withers.

Many will be surprised to hear of the
death of this most estimable lady, and par
ticularly in jackson will the news be re
ceived with unfeigned sorrow and regret
by those of our city who had the pleasure
of knowing her. Mrs Withers, nee, Mis-
Mary Peyton, was for several years resi-
dent of this place, and graduated at Fail
Lawn Institute, whilo it was under the con-
troll of the lamented Miss Mary Mosely.
Miss Peyton was bright and cheerful
school girl, and was idol;zed by her schol-
mates, as well as by her teachers. She had
been married but about three years we be-
lieve, and was the mother of beautiful
little cherub, over whose sick bed she had
been watching until her nervous system was
completely exhausted.
Little did 'Josh," the Bolton correspon-
dent of the Clarion, know when he penned
the following lines, that this fair flower was
so soon to be stricken down:
We are proud to state that the little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs j. p. Withers,
whose life was at one time despaired of,
has improved 80 far as to be considered
convalescent. Mrs. Withers, however, from
constant care and watching, is herself now
quite sick, though nothing serious is appre-
hended in her case.
TO her devoted husband and family, one
and all, we tender our heartfelt sympathy
in this bereavement.

Mr. Chris Hinckle of the Spengler
House, of this city, who has been visiting
his relations in Burlington Iowa, was
interviewed by the newspaper men, as will
be seen by reading the following editorial
taken from the columns of the Burlington
Gazette:
Mr. Chris Hinckle, an old Burlingtonian,
but for the last several years citizen of
Jackson, Mississippi, is now visiting rela-
tives and friends in this city. He is in
business in jackson, and was there when
the feud between James Barksdale and
Henry M. Dixon eliminated in the tragedy
familiar to American newspaper readers.
He says he is familiar with the facts that
brought on the recontre, and insists that
the quarrel between the two men was en-
tirely separate from the bulldozing moves
ment that drove Dixon from the candidacy
for Sheriff of Yazoo.
The comet. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1877-1882, 1879-09-13

As the navigation of Pearl river as far up
as Carthage, is fixed fact, it seems to
us but proper that the honor and credit of
starting, agitating and putting in shape this
enterprise that will rebound 30 much to the
interest of our city, should fall where it
properly belongs, and we unhesitatingly
say that to Mr.. Garrett, editor of the Car
thagenian, published at Carthage, belongs
this distinguished honor. 1t was he, who
through his paper and otherwise, agitated
the subject, and through his suggestion
and influence, more than to any other man,
was the Stedman built and placed in the
river. 1t is true others furnished the cap
ital, but Mr.. Garrett was the moving spirit
in the matter, and deserves the thanks of
all who are interested. In speaking of the
matter, we are aware that other boats have
navigated the river, but it has been a long
time ago, and the matter has remained
buried and unthought of until Mr.. G. re-
surrected it, and therefore to him, we say,
belongs the honor.

Greenbnck Meeting.

The Greenback meeting at the City Hal
last Saturday night was one of the rares
political pow vows it has ever been oul
| privilege of attending. The hall waf
crowded almost to suffocation with amixed
audience, very near all of whom were car
ried there through curiosity, large mum.
Der of Thorn being Democrats and members
Of the Central Democratic Club. The
meeting was called for the purpose of CIV
ing two political sages, Messrs. Charlie
Hull and Walter Hendricks, an opportu.
nifty of laying their peculiar views before
the "dear people," Mr. Hendricks was
the first sage to mount the rostrum; his
speech was on the old time camp meeting
order, and man at the Capital Bank corner
not aware of the true state of things, would
have thought that Stewards Attorney Bull
was out, and that some indiscreet person
had thrown a rcd flag in his face He butted
against everything and everybody, wasted
a great deal of wind, and in his raving
made the statement that there WAS between
thousand and thirteen convicts in the
penitentiary. As far as we could see, there
was no point or anything else in his speech;
and consequently no person that attended
the meeting for the purpose Of listening to
him, was disappointed.
The speech of Mr.. Hull we did not re-
main to hear, but learn that he solved the
financial riddle, and made it 30 ''plain that
ho who runs may read" Clay, Webster,
Calhoun, and host of later day statesmen,
have wrestled with it and had to succumb,
but the greatest problem that has ever agi-
tated the mind of the American public has
at last been worked out, and apparently
without any great amount of thought or
study. Mr.. Hull certainly deserves the
thanks of the whole country.
Jerry Phillips, an intelligent colored man
had his name stricken from the roll.
