The Mississippi Delegation.

Our delegation are all busy at work

as of concern to their immediate con-
stituencies. Here are some of the bills
introduced last week:
Mr. Hooker introduced bill to provide for
the erection of a public building at Jackson,
Mississippi for the use of the District and Cir

goula River and for the Improvement Of the
navigation of the same

e. into the Mississippi Sound, and for the i'm
proyement Of the navigation OF the same from

| 1920 to improve the max igation OF the river

| bors.
Mr. Chalmers also granting the right of way

/ itary tract OF land near NIcksburg, MISSISSIPPI

| for the purposes therein named.
Mr. Money introduced a bill 10 provide for
| double stamped envelopes, postal cards, &C.
| also bill for the Improvement OF the navigation
OF the Mississippi river.
| Much as I admire the general course of THE
| CLARION, and respect its commanding ability
| | must say that it is conservative, rather than
daring. 1t is not in the habit o. leading off in
| new and ventureSOme paths. | cannot help but
| think that in recently coming out for Tideu
| THE CLARION got its ere fro II some OF the in
ner circles not exhibited to The public Ear
| nest Democrat in Iazoo Flag.
The writer of the foregoing may dis.
miss his apprehensions. The CLARION
| has no cue from inner circles-has' nj
come out for Tilden-and has no favo-
rite for the Presidency. The most we
have done is to publish the news as ii
! is; and to answer the attempt to pre-
JUDGE public opinion against him in
advance of the Convention He is as
worthy of support as in 1876. No bet.
ter. No worse. But others are equally
as worthy. For example, Hendricks,
Thurman, Bayard, Hancock and there
are good material and prestige in Sam'I J
Randall. Our maxim is anybody to
beat Grant," to rescue the country from
the extortions of the privileged classes,
the sectional agitators, the strife makers,
the contractionists, the monopolists, the
regime who believe in the divine right
to rule with the bayonet and to plumber
and Cypress the weaker section.

.TennysOn's Lovers Tale.

Edinburgh Scotchman.
In few days the literary world will be
in a 1utter over the publication of sThc
Lovers Tale" by Alfred Tennyson. This
poem contains about 1900 lines and
was written about fifty years ago. As
far back as 1888 it was printed for circu-
lation among the authors friends one of
whom the present Lord Houghton, quot
ed 1rom it in 1884 these lines; '.'

Pushed from his chair of regal heritage, =
The Present is the vassal of the Past. ? z +
It was withdrawn from circulation almost
Immediately and has not hitherto found
place in any authorized edition Of the
Laureate's works 1t is written in that
form of blank verse which Tennyson has
made popular and contains astory found
ed upon the fourth novel in the. tenth
day Of Boccaccio'sk tsDemcameron.'' The
story is that Of a young wife Of Bologna
who. is buried In d trance mistaken for
death ~ An old sutton determines to have
a last look at the face of his lost lady,
and finding that she Is still warm with
life conveys her ; to his mothers house
where shortly after her child: rs borne.
After short period he, invites the swld-
over and all the friends of the two hous-
es to a great feast, at the conclusion of
which he presents the "dead wife" and
child to the "widower husband" This
scene is described in the sGolden Sup
per- which forms the sequel of the
Lovers Tale. "aqz Some portions follow
tho Italian original very closely, but
there are many and characteristic varia-
tons. &c. ,.s1.,.s via.

any rate, she steadily opposed Napoleo-
foregathering with England from first to
last, and, when the Empress wrote to her
about the Cape journey, she repeated her
what I told you in March last, though I
did not then know the reason as to the
Empress opposition to the project. The
Empress was 2overruled in part by the
ycung fellows own eager desire to co.; in
part by the counsel of the most active of
the party chiefs, who had faith in omens
but good deal in the value OF an adver-
tisement, and who thought such warlike
adventure the best possible ADVERTISE
ment for the cause. The Empress aver
sion to the journey continued to the last,
and she was in state of deep detection
for some days after the Prince sailed.

Always Busy.

The more man accomplishes the more
he may. An active tool never grows rusty.
You always find those men who are the
most forward to do good, or to improve
the times. and manners, always busy.
Who start our railroads and STEAMBOATS,,
our machine shops and our manufactures?
Men Of industry and enterprise. As long
as they live they keep at work doing
something to benefit themselves. and
others. It is just so with man who is
benevolent the more he gives the more
he feels like giving. We go for activity
in body, in mind, in everything. Let
the gold grow not dim, nor the thoughts
become stale. Keep all things in motion
We would rather that death should find
us scaling a mountain than in mire-
breasting a wflirlwind than sneakine
from cloud. ...... ~, .-..<..

Eugenie's Oracle.

Before young Louis Napoleon went to
the Cape, writes Richard Whiting, his
mother, who is deeply supcrstitious. con-
suited one Nine de Safrey, who is be-
lieved to have the gift of second sight.
Nine. de Saffrey enjoyed some distinction
at the Tuilleries, and, though she did not
follow the Empress into exile, she is in
frequent communication with her old
patroness. She was the only person of
the imperial entrounge who did not hail
the declaration Of war against Prussia
with delight. Her utterance on the SUBJ
Ject was indeed not explicit enough to be
OF much use, being confined to mere
repetition Of the Italian proverb that
what will be will be, but it was sufficient
to give her great credit with the Empress.
Her fixed idea it appears is that the En-
glish are destined to be fatal to the Ma
poleonic race, and she is said to have
most inconslstently urged the Empress to
leave Chiselhurst on that account and
live IN Switzerland or Italy-as if destiny
in tue shape of the inevitable Briton
could not reach the family even there.
She processes to see confirmation of her
prophetic misgivihgs in the refusal OF
England to declare for France in her hour
OF need, though any body but seer
might fancy that Germany was the prime
agent OF the misfortunes Of the war. AT

"DOn't Put 1t In the PaDer.''

"For heavens sake don't let it get into
the papers!' is the first cry Of person
caught in a mean scrape. Keep it out of
the papers and it is all right. No matter
how contemplate or dishonest the posi-
ton may be, or how much reason the
offender may have for shame, remorse and
contrition, it the circumstances can be
kept from the ''cormorants Of the press ~
as the people who have good reason to
be afraid of newspaper reporters call
them, he is tranquil and happy. We are
no champion for that extreme license of
the press that is sometimes DISPLAYED,
but we have noticed that the ones who
cry out the loudest against newspaper
disclosures are generally those whose own
lives and acts would not bear the closest
inspection. People who live clean
straightforward lives have little to fear
from the newspapers.

The Plague.

The plague is one of the oldest ,hings
under the sun. According to Petayi-
us 1t ravaged the whole known world
in 7G7 d. c., it made TERRIBLE havoc in
Carthage and the people, daplorin <
the anger of the gods, offered up their
Children as sacrifices. Thucyddes has
left a graphic description of the plague
which ragged IN Athens in 430 B. c, and
which extended over Egypt and Eth
opig. In the eighteenth year of the
Christian era, Rome was depopulated
at the rate of 10000 daily. Three
centuriey and half later the plague
appeared IN Britain, where the living
were not able to bury the dead. There
is little reason to doubt the statement
that 200 persons persisted daily in Lon
don during the epidemic which ragged
in l34o, and which prevailed through
out Europe. In l47s more persons PER
ished in England pesti!ence than h& d
died in fifteen years of continued war.
At various periods Of its history London
has suffered terribly from plague
More than 20, 600 persons persisted in
l6o3-4, and more than 35, 600 in 1926.
But it was not until 1865 that the city
learned what scourge the plague
might become. A moderate estimate
says that 6S,505 persons persisted
while other authorities state the num-
Der at 100, oo0..- .Since that period Eng
land has been toerably free from the
plague, but it has carried off $4,000
persons in Persia, 100000 in Egypt,
and 10000 at Marseillrs at one vista
ton.
