SEASHORE REGION

HEALING SPRINGS, Ala, Aug. l3, 1879.
Dear Democrat-Star:
Now SoOn the democratic voters
or jackson county will make their
selection of candidates to be voted
for at the November election.
| hope they will act in accord with
the long established rules and
uSages of the party. Without
party organization, and % faithful
adherence to democratic principles
our lines will lay invitingly open
to dissentious elements. The old
enemy, snake-like, is ever ready to
change his skin to suit the time
and occasion TO deceive. To guard
properly our ranks requires no less
a vigilance than to act on the prin-
ciple of self-preservation, that all
that are not with us and do not con-
form to our rules and customs are
against us. =.

people several aspirants for the
iwsition of United States senator ;

tiOns of the State, excepting the
seacoast region are advocating the
claims of their favorites, and hav-
ing, as yet, seen no preference

naturally induced me to ask myself,
can it be from delicacy or apathy I
Neither, / hope. 1t must be then
from the old custom of never urging
our political claims and submitting
to whatever is not granted to our
section. Will it ever be sol 1t

and make known OUR wants. AS
an humble individual of the sea-
coast. now confined to- sick room
in Alabama, / will follow the good
example of the other sections Of
the State by naming my choice
the man of all men for United
States senator. One who has long,
ably and faithfully served his State
and people. One ever willing and
ready to throw himself in the
breech to protect the honor and
rood name of Mississippi. Re-

Sprague-COnklihg;

Mrs. Swishelm, in letter to the
Tribune, defends Mrs. Kate Chase
Sprague. She said Mrs. Sprague
did send bouquets and Dotes to
Conkling's desk. This would seem
to indicate that her mode Of lobby
ing was of the most graceful, high
ly approved and innocent kind.
Had her relations with Senator
Conkling been criminal, they would
scarcely have blossomed out into
these public manifestations. That
very small pattern Of a man, her
husband, once proposed in the
United States senate to- employ and
pay lady clerks i'm the departments
on the same plan that he did facto-
nv girls, and all the soul he has
must have been rattling around in
his little body like grain of mus
tard seed Id a dry gourd, or he
would have gone to Washington
last winter on the first hint of
scandal and quietly notified Sena-
tor Conkling that he had rights at
stake'and children to protect. The
fact that Conkling went openly to
Sprague's house, taking his trunk,
shows that Mr.. Sprague had not
given him reason to understand
that he would not he welcome. The
whole affair seems like another in
stance of Kate's constitutional will
fulness and habitial defiance of
Mrs. Grundy. For her fathers
sake, and that OF her sisters and
and for the sake of truth
and fair dealing, trust that the
most generous allowance will be
made for her. She has, no. doubt,
been using Mr.. Conkling to procure
favor for herself and
but this does not prove that
she has been false to herself and
broken her vows as wife.

SOrrOwfu! Experience of Good
Old Man on a Sleeping Car.

Old Man on a Siccpins Car.
1t was in Pullman s''sleeper'
between Albany and Buffalo. A
mong the passengers were a mid.
dle-aged couple, evidently on then
first journey, and u sour-taced old
maid, rather desiccated in her gen.
cral effect, who was travelling
alone. The couple had an upper
berth, and the "maiden well strick-
en- in years" the upper birth in the
adjoining section. In the same Car
we're IA couple of irolicsOIne youths,
ready for any sort OF mischief.
Bed time came, and all hands retir-
ed. But the husband could not
sleep. Whether it was because of
the motion of the cars, the noise,
or the novelty of the situation, he
could not tell, but, try as he would
he cOnld not sleep. At length it
occurred to him that he was thirs-
ty. The more he thought of it.,
the more thirsty he got. So
he called the porter, who brought
the ladder aud helped him
down. Now, while he was gone
for the water, one of the "bOys'
stepped out OF bed and shifted the
ladder SO that it rested against the
berth in which the ancient maiden
was sleeping, and then returned to
his bed to note the result. In a
moment or two the husband return
ed. and crept quietly up the steps,
anxious 10 make as little noise as
possible so as not to awaken his
wife. The occupant of the berth
thus rudely intruded upon aweke
with start, and screamed. The
husband, supposing it to be his
easily frightened wife, tried to reas.
sure her, and said, at is only me-"
"Only you, you old scoundrel," said
the venerable maiden, am teach
You a lessOn," and with that she
seized him by the hair of bis head
and screamed for help. Then he
howled with pain. Then his wife
awakened by the noise, discovered
where her husband was, and rails.
ed her voice in lamentation, heap
ing reproaches apon her faithless
spouse. Then the passengers all
got up and demanded an explana-
ton of the commotion, and fore
most among them was the wretch
who had caused it all. Then the
h husband, covered with confusion,
and utterly unable to account for
what he had done, climbed down
from his perch and skunk away to
bed, where he was soundly lectur-
ed for his faithlessness. Altogeth.
or it was q most uncomfortable
though fudicrous situation, and the
glances of defiance that were ex-
changed between the wife and the
Did maid all through the next day
were study. rr..rt

gineering feats. 1t doubts that
anybody will put mouey in Capt.
Eads' ship railway; it doubts the

right spirit. In the new era OF

entered we want sublime faith in
