INUoNaRUoUs LOVE. MATCHES

L4ove-matches are curious through the III
geniousness and ignorance OF those who are
contracting parties to them. The few opin-
ions they have are palpably absurd, and the
more absurd they are the more stubbornly
they cleave to them One OF these is that
they We're made for one another, which,
from their unconauerable Stiffness, and the
fitness belonging to mutually amorons folly,
might indicate malignant design on the part
of nature. This, however, it is hardly neces-
sary to say, is not their meaning. They
affect to believe their souls SO exquisitely
attuned, that but for their immediate union
each must wander a;mlessly, misunderstood,
and unappreciated for evernore. Young,
susceptible, itnpulsiye, rather vain, giddy
and callow creatures, they think fables, and
talk vanity. They are made, like all men
and women, for any one of a dozen. Or a
hundred, or a thousand, whose tastes and
temperaments accord with theirs.
Even after grown up, and have had ma
ture experience Of the heart, we are prone
to talk a good deal of rubbish about love.
But this is rhetoric and mak-belieye, rather
than philosophy or conviction, and deceive
nobody, not even ourselves. Conversational
folk must have a subject, and what subject
offers such infinite variety as love, OF which
you may affirm or deny anything with equal
likelihood of belief? 1T is said that a large
majority of. the matrimonial separations
that. unhappily, are so constantly occurring
are between those who have made love-

the manner OF the match, on the haste of
forming it thereby inferring with a reason
able prospect of aproper choice. Proclaimed
love-matches are obnoxious to suspicion.
They who tell you that they married purely
for love often excite your curiosity to know
what has become of all the love they say
they once felt. It must be carefully kept,
because their nearest friends have never
seen it in their houses, or anywhere else.
Occasionally, there is senlblance of it; but
that is reserved for special occasions-for
what may be termed exiibition-days. The
original article is so precious that nobody is
permitted to look upon it.
The love-matches really deserving Of the
name need no advertisement they are
readily detected by observers capable Of
Judging. between truth and sham. They
have usually been made, not late in life,
perhaps, but not in the salad-days OF their
contractors. These have felt they could
afford to wait, at least, a year or two before
entrusting to one another the happiness OF
life. Theydo not rave in a maudlin man.
ner concerning their inner nature, the needs
OF their being, and the eternal destiny of
sympathetic souls. They neglected sssgtsh'
to cultivate misunderstanding; they did not
waste their time and strength in sentimental
babble, nor in trying to fix the gazesof an
admiring world. They held the even tenor
of their way and when their hour struck
they joined hands because their. hearts had

THE YAZoO VICTIM.

4 dispatch from Nick>burg, Miss, an
nouuceS that the difficulty growing ont OF
Capt II. VI. DiXon'> running a. an indie

county. has eliminated in the shooting Of
Dixon hv James H. BarkSdale. regular
democratic candidate for ChanCery clerk
and chairman Of the democratic State
committee The Southern BourbonS hast
eued 10 telegraph North that DiXon'S death
was purely personal matter.
The history OF the case shows plainly
enough that this tragical ending was no
personal difficulty, but was because Dix
on allowed himself 20 run - an oppo-
Sitiou candidate 20 the Bourbon democrats.
In Nav. Dixon announced himself - indie
pendent candidate for sheriff subject only

box. From that day forward, the Bour-
bon democrats commenced 20 organize
clubs and military companies 20 guard
AGAINST the spread of Independent move

ou>lv done 10 prevent coiored men from
voting the republican ticket When the
registration of voters commenced, these
military companies began their respective
tours of inspection around the places OF
-
aud ntmidatins voters.
Dixon. however, was not "a man 10 be
easily scared. Accordingly the story was
started by the Bourbou> that he was about
to assemble an armed force OF negroes.
Forthwith five hundred armed men under
Henry Stobhleticld the regular democratic
candidate for sheriff. assembled AT Benton,
drew up on either side OF the road and
waited the arrival OF Dixon with his
negroes. Dixon soon drove up IN his
buggy. This exploded the Stratagein by
which the men had been assembled, and
two hundred of them forthwith dispersed
thoroughly disguised. There remained
however. 300 who surrounded DiNon'S
house. and detailed 4 squad of six, who,
under instructions of their leaders, went
% Dixon and demanded that he should
leave the country. under an armed escort
within - hours, and never return, or take
the consequences.
At first Dixon refused 10 consent TO any
such arrangement; but after six hours OF
threatening, N the peril of his life and
that of others, he consented 10 withdraw
from the canvass and leave the county
After Dixon withdrew. Major BarkSdale
chairman of the democratic State commit
tee. and the man who subsequently Killed
Dixon. issued a circular recommending To
the democratic party "a rigid adherence
10 the discipline and observance Of the
methods by which the victories of 1870, 20
and - were won" His subsequent action
indicates that he practices what he preach
-. After Dixon had been away three
weeks, he returned and issued a card say
ing that he did not consider the agreement
which had been extorted from him 10 be
binding. and that he considered himself
still a candidate for sheriff. The next news
! in regard to Dixon was that he had been
killed by Barksdale

MORE AROITT DIXON.

NEW YORK, Aug. PA Vicksburg dis
patch says the immediate cause of Dixons
! shooting was bitter personal quarrel that
arose in the bulldoZing affair Of July 25th.
Barksdale is the nephew of prominent
candidate for the United States Senate,
editor of the Jackson Clarion and chair
man of the Democratic State Executive
Committee. The Democrats of lazoo
will soon be earnestly opposed by full
Greenback ticket. If any attempt is made
more trouble will arise.
Washington specials say that the Secre-
tary of the Navy said when informed of
| DiXon's death in Yazoo; "Such acts will
consolidate the North more effectively
than all the speeches of Congressional
orators"
Senator Bruce, said, with much feeling,
that his views need not he sought. Perhaps
i'm short time the YazoO mob would
threaten his life if he did not vacate his
seat i'm the Senate. Senator Lamar de-
clined To give views, but believed the muir
der was the result of street brawl.
DiNOn's father was Nirginian, an OIL
Ger In the Union army, and was assassinat-
eel by Virginian in Alexandria. Dixon's
son, who has been killed in Iazoo, was n
student at Georgetown College the first
year of the war, was enticed 10 join Mos
by's guerrillas, remained few months
and returned within the Union lines. lie
removed To Mississippi after having mar
ried planters daughter in Iazoo county,
and in 1875 was chief of the Democratic
bulldozers. Ii is stated that before the
mob recently compelled him to withdraw
from the independent ticket a squad OF
negroes had been hired TO hide in ambush
and shoot him, but he WAS detained on his
plantation, aud thus escaped. \ few days
afterward the plot was rcvcalcdby negroes.
YAZoo CITY, Miss, Aug. 2l.-BarkSdale,
who shot Dixon, was released on $4,000
bonds. Examination was waived.
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston AdrertiSer writes in regard To ii.
VI. Dixon, recently killed in Yazoo county,
Miss ole had the largest plantation in
lazOo county, situated few miles from
the county-scat. ono day, shortly before
the mob compelled him TO withdraw from
the campaign, he visited his plantation
and was expected to return that night. IL
appears that the democrats, who have been
50 anxious TO represent that Dixon was
stirring up conflict of races, had hired a
squad of negroes 10 ambush and kill him
~ ne returned To town. He was uneNpcct-
edly detained At his plantation till next
day. and the plot failed. \ few days AFTER
two of the negroes who had been hired to
aSSaSSinatc him made him acquainted with
the whole arrangement for his murder. \
short time after his enforced retirement
from the Independent ticket he was called
upon privately by a number of prominent
white citizens OF the county and urged 10
rctract his withdrawal. Eight or ten OF
these gentlemen, who are among the most
influential and wealthy in the city, aud
who are democrats, assured him that
there would be no further opposition, and
told him that in case Of danger they would
protect him and his family from harm.
