We have heard many expressions
in favor of returning Messrs Speng-
Ter and Hamilton in our mu-
nicipal legislature. The position
of an Alderman, while it may
have a good deal of humor in it
and enable its possessor to learn the
art of laughing and of growing fat,
yet it is mistake to suppose that his
appetite and rotundity are attributa-
bic to big salaries and high living. In
point Of fact there is no salary con-
nected with this responsible office in
the municipal governments of jackson.
The recipient of the honor is supposed
to he sufficiently paid for his services
i'm the increase of dignity which natu-
rally hangs around a city father. We
know of no two men i'm this city who
are better able to wear the dignity
than Messrs Hamilton and Spengler,
and as they have been in Office for a
of years, and have given uni
versal satisfaction, and have large
experience, and are truly public spirit
I'd citizens, we indulge the hope that
hey will consent to serve the city for
another term. If they will do so, we
.hink there will bescarcely a dissenting
voice to the arrangement.

Out on a Lark.

1t has been cOnfdentally but correct
ly stated to us, that on night before last
our informant met up with, or rather
came up behind two young men, walk.
ing down town, whose action and gen.
eral appearance aroused his suspicious.
Notwithstanding they were fuIl-rigged
even to flowing and becoming mus
taches, it was evident they were not
males, but females. Our friend guess
ed land correctly too who they were,
and thinking they were out on a lark,
kept one eye on them. A policeman
passed them but did not recognize any-
thing wrong about the two young gents.
This meeting doubtless made their
fail them, and they were no
doubt alarmed; for, when our informant
advanced on them, they "threw up the
sponge" and let out at full speed for a
place of safety. They took refuge i'm
the residence of Mr.. X, where our
friend lost track and knowing the
young ladies to be two ofOur most char.
ming girls, did not presume to investi-
gate further. Don't try it on again

Our friend Brunson, of Jackson, il
doing solid service to the good ladies
of the surrounding country. He is
supplying them with first class Sewing
Machines at prices far below the old
rates. AS he buys for cash and in
large quantities, he gets the benefit of
" bottom prices" and being a Chris
tan man, embued with the principle
of olive and let live," he is content
with a moderate profit. Hence his
large trade. During the months of
November and December his sales
will reach nearly hundred machines.
His fame has gone abroad, and orders
pour in on him from distance as well
as from home. A practical and expe-
rienced repairer and dealer in Sewing
he has his hands full, and is
delighted to see the country able to
buy these useful household articles.
We know of lady in Jackson who
purchased White machine from him
the other day, and she pronounces it |
perfectly lovely"-a rarer jewel than

A. c. Fairman, Esq, of Monticello
died at his residence last week. His
brother, H. C. Fairman, Esq, of this
city, was summoned to his bedside
and attended him in his last illness.
He was afflicted with consumption
and has been lingering for some
months. He met death with perfect
courage and reconciliation. His up-
right and Conscientious life gave a
guarantee of the lOftiest courage when
there was an occasion for it. If he
could have lived and enjoyed good
health there was a promising future
before him, as he was a man above
the average in talent and studious
habits and application to business.
With sOrrowful heart we commend
his young wife and little children to
that consolation which can be drawn
from only one source.

The Blind Asylum

To the Editor of the Comet:
1t may not be generally known
that the pupils of the Blind ASYLUM
under the supervision of the Misses
Langley, the accomplished daughters
OF the Superintendent, spend an hour
from three until four o'clock every
Sabbath afternoon in concert singing
of the most superior and attractive
order. The voices of the Misses Alice
Wilmington, Florence Graves, Sallie
Markham and others are perfectly
charming and inexpressibly sweet and
fascinating; and never fail to capti-
vate and entrance their listeners. No
one can spend an hour more pleasantly
or profitably than by attending one of
these performances. 1t is a pleasure
for the young ladies to have visitors
to hear them sing; and DR.. Langley,
the superintendent, and his daughters
are always gratified to have attend
ance of any and all who may 50 desire.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon the worthy Superintendent and
daughters for their untiring zeal and
energy in the instruction and training
Of this unfortunate class who so much.
need our sympathy and tender care.
While in this connection must not
INIT to say that the building now oc-
'upied as the Blind Asylum is wholly
inadequate to supply the purpose for
which it is used, and i do hope the
at its next meeting will ]
ook well to this matter and make an ]
preparation for the erection of !
uilding with capacity sufficient for :
emands which may be made upon it,
understand that there are now in L
ne Asylum about twenty five to q
lirty pupils while there should and |
'ould be not less than twice that t
lumber if the building had the capac-
Y to contain them. S
From observation extending back IL
the surrender I am forced to the is
inclusion that this institution has il
ever been so ably and so well con- al
lcted as under the present manage al
ent. The pupils are not only well al
I'd properly instructed but are so
and tenderly taken care of
at after once entering the Institute n,
ey are ever unwilling afterwards to r.
ave it. This alone is sufficient evil r,
nee of the truth of this statement. n,
The Institution is an honor to the r.
ate and with good building, such q,
it needs and deserves, would be an r
lament of which she might well be FL
