Appcal for tke Protestant pr-
phan Asylum. 1n <ntcnez',
To the pastors of Protestant Church-

10 the pastors of Protestant Church
es in Mississippi:
Protestant Orphan ASYLUM at Match,
ez is now in the sixty-fOurth year OF its
existence. 1t has been sustained mains
" through the efforts of the ladies' OF
that CITY, and by the contributions OF
it's generous people. During the last
few wears. the Masonic fraternity OF
the State has aided in the good work.
The nudersign has several times visl-
ted the Asylum, and after thorough ms
ouiry into its past history and present
management, does most heartily recon-
mend it to the favorable consideration
of II people. Orphan chilDren are re"
ceiyed there regardless of locality or
creed. and are cared for and educated
urt;l suitable homes can be provided
for them. There are about fftys chile
dren there now. The Asylum has no
endowment or other certain income. and
is entirely dependent upon public chair
ity. 1t is believed that many would
contribute to the support OF
this ASYLUM if informed of its necessi-
ties. It's treasury is dearly empty; and
it is suggested that the pastors OF the
several Protestant churches throughout
the State give their congregation an
opportunity to make q Thanksgiving
Offering that will relieve the anxiety oil
the Lady Managers, and insure the sup
port of the Asylum for the winter
months. Let a collection for this pur'
pose be taken up at the close of the
Thanksgiving discourse, and where, fol
any cause. Thanksgiving services are
not observed. let a collection be taken
mp in the respective churches on the
Sabbath succeeding Thanksgiving Day
November 30th. The amount may
be aent to the undersign, who will
make due acknowledgement, or can be
sent direct to the Treasurer OF the Asy-
lum, Mrs. John Fleming. Natchez,
Miss. Respectfully, !.
J.. T.. POWER.

Mr.. G. F. NEEDHAM, Of Washington
thinks that tie reDple Of the Northern
States make q great mistake in not
raising figs. He says that the fruit is
grown successfully in England, whore
the foggy atmosphere is not nearly 90
favorable to it as our sunny land.
Northern chimes are even better than
Southern, because too great heat Is
inimical to the plant, and our days are
more evenly tempered than those Of
the South. In Ohio it has been found
that the fig tree is quickly grown, is
easily protected, is q sure bearer and Is
very prolific. The trees begin to bear
when two years old, and when they
have attained an age Of four. or five
years produce from the same area,

Protest.

Since it is but just and proper
that the representatives Of the Ger
man-Americans at the late Repub.
lican State convention should pub.
licly give expression to their feeling
of indignation and regret at the
treatment received, we the under.
signed delegates desire to declare,
that in the utter disregard Of our
earnest and respectful repre-
sensations regarding the nomi ma.
ton of a candidate for State treas.
urer, an outrage was committed, a.
gainst which we hereby again enter
our solemn protest, and particularly
for the reason that the convention
permitted itself to be imposed upon
BY the adoption Of a candidate for
Secretary Of State who was not our
choice, and whose nomination was
forced on the convention in def.
ant and insulting manner and by
contemplate and corrupt means,
for the purpose Of defeating can
didate who had not only our unani-
nous support, but. whose nomination
was warmly endorsed and confident.
