Tally onel Geo. @. Vest was elected
United States Senator from Missouri,
last week, on the second ballot. George
G. Vest is opposed to the black amend
ments. Hip-hip-hurrahl- Okoiona >tates.
"Don't halloo before you're out OF
the woods," neighbor. The new Sen
ator, like all other Southern Demo-
Gratis, opposed the amendments as
long as he had practical ground to
stand upon, but the following press
despatch will illustrate his present
footing:
81. Louis, January 22.--At Jefferson
City to-day Gen. Shields and George G..
Vest were formally declared United
States Senators elect by the Legislature
In joint session. Vest addressed the as
sembly, assailing the Republican party
as the party Of Capitalization and force.
He pledged himself as Southern Dem
ocrat to support all the amendments to
the Constitution, and especially to pro-
lection of the negro. He declared against
granting any pension, bounty or pay to
Confederates, or recognition Of Confed-
crate debt, and in favor Of the honest
payment Of the national debt.
We cannot see that in this enunci-
alton he differs from any other prom
inent Democrat that we know of,
and truly hope that his platform is
not so repugnant to the States as to
induce it to "pull down its Vest"

Chickasaw county Davis man, when
summoned. Rice Bell is q freedman
of Chiokasaw, who supported Hayes
in 1878, and was thought to be in
fnll afiliation with the political jun
BILE that was arrayed against the
Democratic party. Before he
reached Oxford the managers had
discovered their mistake. and assign
ed him to duty on the petit jury.
Against this act Of injustice Rice Bell
revolted, and insisted upon his rights.
With regard to the individuality
and sympathies of the other members
Of the Grand Inquest we are not in
formed, but from the "dots" we have
given, it will not be difficult to locate
at least the non voters; and it is not
assuming too much to class the 1.-TWO
absent" with the opposition, for if
they were supporters Of the Demo-
cratic nominees, the fact would cer-
tainly have been ascertained, and
stated in the card.
Now, according to fair showing,
how did the members of that Grand
Jury stand politically We array
them as follows:
DRMocRATs.

In the list headed Democratic, the
two last named we're summoned un.
der q misapprehension, and one Of
them, the colored man Bell, has al
ways been regarded as q thorough
going Republican. OF the other
three we know nothing whatever, and
think it quite likely that they sup
ported Muldrow like Mr.. Montgom-
cry, through personal considerations,
and not on account Of his being the
Democratic nominee, and one Of them
at least bears q name that was we'll
represented in East Mississippi
among Gen. Davis supporters.
SO much for the last card from
Oxford.

WHITELAW REID.
How He Comes to be Editor OF
the New York ''Tribune."

The New York correspondent OIL inc
Indianapolis Journal saws an intimate
friend of Whitelaw Reid recently told
him this bit of history: "Reid was POI
litical editor on the Cincinnati Gazette,
when Greeley wrote and asked him to
take similar position on the Tribune.
John Russell Young was managing edl-
tor and the fact that Reid was getting a
bigger salary than he was a source OF
constant irritation 10 Young. Reid had
much of Greeley's way OF thinking, and
he naturally fell into his method OF
writing. Greeley had q good deal OF
outside work, and learned to lean rather
heavily on the young man from the
West. He would grab his carpet-bag
and start out to lecture, tiingingat Reid 5
desk hali-fnished editorial, and say
inc: "Therel You catch the DRIFT OF
that. Finish it up And Reid would
/ conclude with the 'iv-v-vl' so well re-
membered as dividing many otGreeiey 5
editorials.
Occasionally the old man would say
| to Reid, what he seldom said To any
body else. you are working too hard.
and finally it was understood around
the office that Reid was instructed not
10 write anything that he could hire
anybOIy else % write, devOting himself
To devising, revising, supervising, dl-
recting. rearranging. And, at last, the
explosion came that drove the manag-
ing editor out OF his office, and Reld
was given his place, mem CON.
at is said that Reid opposed the nom
nation of Greeley for the Presidency
from the first; that he argued with the
old man about il, and that he refused to
90 to Cincinnati 10 participate IN the
canvass; and | heard the old man say to
him a few days before the convention:
We'll, IL You don't go | SHALL! and then
Reid consented to GO
The Tribune fought a gallant. uphill,
disheartening fight during the cam
paign. Mr.. Greeley never visited the
editorial rooms once between his noml-
nation and defeat. He had little office
on the ground flOO-, back of the count
ing-roOm. where ne received his mail
and his friends, and here, too frequent
w, ne was visited by lot OF loaters,
bummers and fiy-blown pOlititlOns--
mere adventures, who imposed them
selves Cd him for their own purposes.
"The old man" has never had credit Tor
the sigral ability with which he manag-
Ell his canvass, in the face of Republican
derisiOI. Democratic Indifference and 4
multitude of warning and incOngruOus
elements. More mastery speeches
were never made than those impromptu
appeals to the people, when he tried
i'm vain Ia make an important breach IN
the ranks OF the Republican party. He
failed. and he never visited the Tribune
office but once after the election OF
Grant.

French Women and English Women.

Mr.. LabOuchere of the London Truth,
takes his turn in contrasting French
women with their English sisters. He
SAYS:
1.-THE former are, as a rule, more
pleasant than women OF other nations.
This is because they were born with II
natural disposition to please any one
with whom they are brought in contact,
and this natural disposition has been
cultivated. Now, an English woman Is
entirely without this gilt. In general
society she shows too much her likes
and diSlikes. To the good or bad Opln-
ion of persons Indifferent Ia her she Is
herself utterly Indifferent. This she dubs
IN, atIectation.' sincerity and other
such tlattering appclatiOns. Il cannot
she saws, pretend To care Tor person
for whom / do not care; and when she
u,ters this sentiment she looks around

Why Eve Did Not Keep Hired Girl.


A lady writer in one of our exchanges
furnishes some Of the reasons why Eve
did not keep hired girl. She says:
There has been a great deal said about
the faults OF women and why they need
So much waiting on. Some one "a man,
of course) has the presumption TO ask
"Whv, when Eve was manufactured OF
n spare rib, Il servant was not made at
the same time, to wait upon her she
didn't need any. 4 bright writer has
said Adam never came whining TO Eve
with a ragged stocking to be darned,
buttons to be sewed on, gloves To De
mended, fright away-quick-noW
because he never read the newspapers
until the sun went down behind the
palm trees. and he, stretching himself,
vawned out: isn't supper ready, my,
dear" Not he. He made the fire and
hung the kettle over it himself, We J.,
venture. and pulled the radishes, peeled
the potatoes, and did everything else he
ought 10 do. He MIXED the cows, ted
the chickens, and looked after the pigs
himself and never brought hall a dozen
friends 10 dinner when Eve hadn't any
fresh pomegranates. He never STAYED
ont Till IL o'clock at night, and then
scolded because poor Eve was sitting up
and CRYING inside the gates. He never
loafed:: around corner groceries while
Eve was rocking little Gains cradle at
home. He did not call Eve up from the
cellar to get his slippers and put them
in the corner where he left them. Not
he. When he took them off he put
them under the fig tree beside his sun
/ dav boots. In short, he did not think
she was especially created for the pur-
nose of waiting on him, and he wasn't
hinder the impression that it disgraced a
man TO tighten wife's cares little.
That's the reason Eve did not need q
hired girl, and with it was the reason
her fair descendants did.
