reno bazeLle, MarCn 4tn
A Gazette reporter has been spending
the day in inspecting the safes rescued
from the ruins, and In gathering notes as
to their condition The result Of the In
vestigation proves beyond all doubt that
the Hall safe, manufactured in Cincinna-
ii, Ohio, is the most reliable safe repre-
sented. There were .afes from half doz.
en- different manufactures in the fire, and
their contents were In ell stages between
a scorch and utter ruin. Some had TO be
blown open, others cut to pieces with
chis els; some were a mass of broken plas-
ter and warped plates. Others seemed
sound on the OUTSIDE, while within there
was nothing saved. Some lost knobs,
others had the com binatien com pletely
upset. In every case the Halls safe OPEN
ed without q hammer or chisel, and the
contents were wholly untouched. The
County Treasurer's safe (Hall's) lay in q
m ass of com busti bles upon which stream
OF burning oil was running for eighteen
hours, ard as soon as it cooled of Mr..
Boyd opened 1t without the least hesita-
tlon, and the contents were as good as

vious big fires, and all cay Sunday lay in

A SPORTING SUGGESTION.

When dog is punished in the field, it
is important that he should understand
why the punishment is inflicted. You
should clearly explain to him the object of
the castigation. We once knew a fine old
double jointed, heavy chops pointer named
':Dash" who performed beautifully on his
first covey, making a staunch point. But
when the birds flushed he chased them to
the verge of the horizon. Whips were
worn out to the handle on him; scores of
boot heels kicked off, and tons of shot
fired at him. And old "Dash' has always
firmly believed that this was all done be-
cause he didn't catch the birds. Though a
professional pointer he never saw the point
of this harsh treatment, and thinks to this
day that the difficulty of catching the birds
was never sufficiently considered.

An Endorsement OF The Comet and its
Course in Regard 10 Capt. Jones,
of EimOna.

DEAR COMET Since your brilliant deJu
you have received SO many wNrm-hearted
and cordial endorsements, and expressions
of good will from your numerous friends
and admirers, that would feel there was
some danger Of your growing a little vain
and self-conceited, If did not know you
as well as l do. But [ feel perfectly easy
on that score. The COMET is not going to
get proud and ''stuck-up," and turn its
back on old friends. If auything had been
wantingto confirm my faith in The COMETS
fidelity to old friends, it would have been
fully supplied in your just and timely edito-
rial last week about my old and long-tried
friend, Capt. b. f. Jones, of the Winona
Advance. I endorse every word and sylla-
bic in that article. There is more in it than
the superficial reader might think, at first
glance. Ii don't advocate Jones more than
it vindicates the rights of the press of Mis-
sissippi. It puts the argument in a strong
light and very brief compass. Jones and
the press-they are the Same thing, one and
inseparable--and the good people of Mont
gOmery county can't afford to do without
either. Ihave known Jones almost since
can remember. I have fought, blcd, and
nearly died with him in the late war He
was useful man in the army, and be has
been the willing and faithful servant of his
people in Montgomery since the war, and
since Montgomery was born as a county.
Long as l have known Capt Jones, and
while he has contributed largely to elevate
to office multitude of others, yet this is |
the first time have ever known him to ask |
the people Of Montgomery to give him an
office. That he would make an efficient and |
obliging Clerk of the Circuit Court, no one
doubts. He wants the office, and needs it. |
and now 1 most cordially join you in the
hope that the voters of Montgomery will
embrace this first-class opportunity of re-
warding clever, warm-hearted, generous
gentleman, who has ever been their most
faithful servant, and at the same time yield
a handsome and graceful tribute to the |
newspaper press of the State.

leyrand' reply was.-''Alas ! Mddame -
In few months the lady wrote to Tall
leyrand again, asking his interest AMI in
fuence for another gallant soldier. The
artful diplomatist at once discovered the
fact that she had second time bestowed
her heart. His reply was. - "Oh lilo!

Communication of the Sentence of W. II
kaVanah.

The sentence of VIM. B. Kavanah, who
was to Lave been hanged on the DIST of
this month, for the murder Of man by the
name of Cameron in Lowndes county a
year or SO since has been commuted to
Imprisonment for life by Governor Stone
The action of the Governor in this matter is
IN reponse to the greatest demand we im-
agine ever made upon a chef executive for
clemency in any case in Mississippi's his
tory There were over fourthousand
names upon the petition including a ma.
iority of the grand jury that found the
true bill against Kavanah, a majority of
the petit jury that tried him, the whole of
the bar and clergy Of that district and in
Vulnerable private citizens both white and
colored, besides host of fair women whose
sympathy for the unfortunate man and his
sorrow stricken family welled I'D as a
fountain and led them to circulate petitions
for his repreive. Kavanah had a splendid
war record, is Of a good family and has
heretofore been considered good citizen
The circumstances Of the killing we bava
never fully learned, but suppose from the
fact that juries are allowed by law to say
whether a man convicted Of murder shall
be hung or imprisoned for life, and in this
case the jury composed mainly Of white
men imposed the extreme penalty upon
Kayanah, he could have had but little
proyOeation, as it is his fate is a terrible
one and should be a warning 70 the young
men of our state.
