All other girls can dance and sing,
The young men pretty presents bring:
The other girls can sweet eyes make,
And all the hearts by storm they take.
I am not like the other girls:
Ny hair is straight. have no curls;
Ny eyes are neither brown nor blue;
And yet my heart know is true.
I cannot dance. cannot sing;
The young men presents never bring;
No beaux. alas to me do come,
And am always found at homo.
I never could those sweet eyes make;
never yet heart could take.
But I'll not always live this way.
Because I'll wed know some day.
Not then like other girls I'll be.
For I'll love one. and he'll love me.

De La Matyr and His Mission.

He had better have remained at home. No
movement so endangers the success Of the
Democratic party in 1880 as the Greenbaek or
National movement, and its agitation will do
more to make Grant or some other Republi-
can President than anything else. The
Southern people need no enlightenment from
such source, and Southern legislators
desire no such apostle of discord. The fact
OF Mr.. De La Matyr having left the ministry
for politics temporarily will injure instead of
helping him with Methodists and other refi-
glous denominations in this section Political
preachers are not popular here, and it is an
insult to Southern Methodism to suppose that

NAUGHTY,

Somebody's lips were close to mine;
Thus tempted. couldn't resist.
Roguish and rosy, q sweet little mouth
Was suddenly softly kissed.
Somebody's eyes looked up and drowned,
With such a reproving glance,
" If kisses were wicked ?" asked my pet,
Then the eyes began to dance
And, smiling, the little maiden answered,
As knelt there at her feet,
" They must be little bit naughty,
Or they never would be SO sweet"

Soldiers at the Polls.

There is danger for the liberties OF
the I" dear people," Ewing says so.
He says that the Republicans are in ia
vor of using bayonets at the polls, and
that they have soldiers all over the
South for that purpose to-day-well,
here they are, every one,of them:
In Alabama thirty-two United States
soldiers in arsenal.
In Arkansas fifty-seven soldiers.
In Delaware not one.
In Florida 1872 United States soldiers
at three separate barracks, navy yards,
etc.
In Georgia twenty-nine United States
soldiers.
In Kentucky not one.
In Louisiana 239 United States SOL
diers.
In Maryland 1872 United States SOL
diers at Fort McHenry.
In Mississippi not one.
In Missouri not one.
In North Carolina thirty United States
soldiers at fort at mouth of Cape Fear
River.
In South Carolina 123 United States
soldiers guarding Charleston harbor.
In Tennessee not one.
In Texas not one outside of frontier
guard.
In Virginia 2s2 United States soldiers
at school of practice at Fortress Mon
roe.
In West Virginia not one.
Just think of it-al these soldiers
overawing and trampling upon the lib
critics of Il, ,OOO, 900 souls, among whom,
judging from the recent infamous ac-
quittal in the Chisholm trial, there. must
be several hundred thousand Gullys and
Barksdales-all intimidated. This is

Yazoo savagery; it is in fact that So
ciety in Mississippi does not execute
lawful punishment upon the DeKalb and
Yazoo savages, but in its predominant
sympathy with their savagery acquits
them and permits them to be at large
to practice more of their savagery, in
which barbarism perceives no wrong
deserving punishment.
Mr.. Henry Watterson and other rep
resentatives of the more intelligentsort
of Southern opinion are quite right in
saying that 'tto take isolated cases of
bloody crimes and hold them up as rep
resentative of the normal condition of
Southern society is as unjust and ab-
surd as it would be to accept Mollie
Maguireism as representative of the
civilization of Pennsylvania" 1t is
not in any difference between the bar
barism called Mollie-Maguireism and
the barbarism called Yazooism that the
difference between Pennsylvania civiii-
zation and Mississippi barbarism con-
sists. The. best evidence that society
in Pennsylvania is not in the state of
barbarism is found in the fact that it
has legally exterminated more than
twenty Mollie Mcguire barbarians. The
best evidence that society in Missis-
sippi is in the state of barbarism is that
it has not legally exterminated any
DeKalb and Yazoo barbarians, but has
indorsed its approval upon their bar
barism by its representative agents of

The Champion MelOn.Eater.

On last Saturday evening Mr.. A. L.
Reid, of this county, stepped into the
drugstore of jackson & Son, of this
place, in which there were six water
melons, all (combined) weighing about
seventy-five pounds, and said if anybody
would pay for them he would sit down
and not get up until he had eaten the
last mouthful of them. Our Sheriff,
Mr.. Henry Magee, incredulous as to
MIR. Reid's remarks, said if he (Reid)
would sit down and swallow them all
before he got up he (Magee) would pay
for them, when Mr.. William Jackson,
who was present, said if Reid did not
eat them according to Magee's request
he (Jackson) would pay for them. Reid
then took his seat and the show began
in earnest. The first one he ate weighed
eighteen pounds, the next one fifteen
and, after he had eaten these two, his
appetite seemed to be as sharp and as
active as it was before he had eaten
one bite. He then consumed two more,
and before an hour had passed he had
eaten four and one-half, the weight of
which was not less than fifty-five or
sixty pounds, and would have eaten the
balance, when Magee became satisfied,
paid for the melons, told Reid that he
could quit, and told the crowd standing
by to help eat what remained, when it
was consumed in less time than it takes
to tell it--Laurel County (Ry.J Echo.
