Samson Davis, a notorious colored
tiend, now occupies quarters in the
county Jail, place where he should
have been some months ago, if not the
principal in a hanging match. He was
carried to Jail by Rey. F. A. Young, a
colored minister, who had him incarce
rated and took receipt for his body,
for beating of his wife and killing of
his twelye-day-old child. 1t will be
remembered that this same Davis was
some months ago arrested and tried
for numbering his son, but there being
no witnesses he could not be convicted,
and was consequently liberated. He
lived with his family in a shanty in
Rigby's bottom, just outside the city
limits, and is known to his neighbors
as brutal drunkard and hard character
generally, having frequently beat his
wife nigh unto death in his drunken
orgies. He wound up his career last
night for the present by the murder of |
bis child and probably that Of his wife.

Port Gibson Reyeille.

Judge Chrisman came, as usual.
very promptly to Court. On Monday
morning the grand jury was empan-
eled, and the Judge deliverdd his
charge, which, we understand, was a
volume of law, wisdom, admonition,
and reproof. One of the clearest head
ed men we have in the county, ex-
pressed to us the opinion that if this
charge could be delivered in the hear
ing of the whole people, the effect
would be more salutary than the crimi-
nal code enforced twice told. The
gospel of the law is the enforcement of
statutes, with rigid kindness, and the
paternal spirit of the law is found in
the words of warning uttered by the
presiding law, giver.
If all the people could assemble at
the beginning of Caurt to hear the
Judge, i'll his semi-annual unfolding
of the great truth that government
lives i'll the constant peril of its exist
ence, growing out of the strife between
law and laWlessness, for supremacy,
the people would learn to support the
law to love it rather than to fear it.
In proportion as each conscience feels !
serene and calm, after the discharge of
duty, so the community of cOnsciences !
would feel, if all chimed in in the gem
eral discharge Of duty. The great |.
conscience would be very
happy, if constantly cheered and glad /
iened by the coming up of sweet in
iuences from the multitude of indi-
vidual consciences. Each and every
makes its own photograph |
m the eyes of mankind. If law and
order, and morals and religion, pre-
dominate, these features make hand
some face.
Lawfulness, obedience to the law, is
he beginning of wisdom-the wisdom
# government, and a good govern
nent, honest in its purposes, just in

II its integrity, has but one rival king

Night before last colored man Civ
ing his name as Anionia, presented
himself at the station house and re.
quested the officer in charge to lock
him up in one of the cells, giving as
the reason that he felt all attack of
hydrophobia coming upon him, and
feared that he might do bodily harm
to some one. The officer complied
with the request and in very short
time the singular being went through
all the horrible experiences Of person
atfiicted with that dread disease. He
barked, growled, snarled; initiated
dogs OF all kinds, and made for while
the cell hideous. Yesterday morning
he appeared to be all right, and readily
explained his troubles to the curious
questloner. He says he is native of
San Eomingo, and that he had served
IN the United States navy during the
war rs fireman on the Essex, Brook
lyn, etc; that after leaving the navy he
dutted to the South, and was bitten by
rabid dog, since which time he has
had regular periodical attacks of hv-
drophobia. He says he can tell when
these attacks are coming on, and know
ng the violence of them, he always de-
'ires to put where he can do no one
arm.-Natchez Democrat.

A child's mistakes are often better
than its no mistakes, because when
a child makes mistakes and has to
correct them, it is then on the way
toward knowing something. n
child that is walked up every morn
ing, and never wakes itself up ;
and is washed, and never makes
mistakes about being clean and is
fed, and never has anything to 90
with its food; and is watched, and
never watches itself, and is cared
for, and kept all day from doing
wrong--such child might as well
be tallow candle, perfectly straight
and solid, and comely, and unvital ;
and good for nothing but to be
