The Bravest of the Brave,

] Presented to bim by his Democratic fell
low-citizens of Yazoo county, as an hum
Bile testimonial of their high appreciation
of his brilliant services in the REDEEM ption
of the county from Radical rule in 1875.
To their manifest insincerity and
hypocrisy, as shown in their own
statements, these Yazoo Democrats
have plainly added the infamy of
defamers and traducers Of charac-
ter. Their incapacity to conceal, a
falsehood under the gloss Sof truth
is only eqnalled- by their ingratitude
to the man of all others to whom
they are indebted for the hold they
have on the Offices and spoils of
Office. They should go down into
Louisiana for q season and take a
few lessons in the art.of lying be-
fore they prepare any more "au-
thentic statements" and 'strue sto-
ries." 1U KI1aE14

BE Ye Like Foolish.

For ten years my wife was confined
to her bed with such complication of
ailments that no doctor could tell what
was the matter or cure her, and / used
up a small fortune in humbug stuff.
Six months ago | saw aU. 8. flag with
Hap Bitters on it, and I thought I
would be a foofonee more. I tried it.
but my folly proved to be wisdom.
Two bottles cured her; she is now az

and it, cost me only two dollars. Be
ye likewise foolish. "-H. w, Detroit,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 16.-
Col. Robert Ingersoll, in reply to
statements in the Democratic press
to the effect that he was about to
take part against the Republicans
in the Ohio campaign, to-day prints
the following card:
The interview said to have been
had with me, as given by your New
York correspondent, and published
this morning, is entirely incorrect.
No such interview ever occurred,
and. the statements attributed to noe
were never made. It is is
true, however, that there is
to be Convention of Liberals
held at Cincinnati on the 18th and
18th of September next, for the
purpose Of consulting as to the pro.
priety of taking political action.
Thousands of Liberals believe that
the time has arrived to inaugurate
a movement for self-preservation,
and may be that a platform en-
bodying our practical principles
will be adopted at Cincinnati upon
which all people can stand whoAbe-
lieye that there should be a perfect

neck was a woolen comforter of many
colors, the ends of which trailed on the floor
as he sat- His eyes wandered with un-
certain glare about the room, and en-
countering Mr.. Bowker's for a second,
glided off and fixed themselves upon the
ceiling. Mr.. Abraham Cough worked in
the same mine with Mr.. Bowker. VIII
liam had always rather looked down on
this young man, and had sometimes used
him as a chopping- block to try wits edge
upon-and now it was evident that the
despised one was here as a rival.
"Be you gooin to tex walk tonight,
Seliner?" Mr.. Bowker asked, with such
aspect of easy unconcern as he could
wear.
"Why, Wis, be, Willy-yum," Selma
responded. "Mr. Cuff here's been good

Mr.. Cough. conscious of the gaze, looked
harder at the ceiling than ever, taking
the minutest interest in certain cracks
which marked the plaster The gaze
continuing, Mr.. Cough glance wandered
to the brass ornaments on the chimney
piece, and, finding no resting-place there,
descended TO the fre-irons, and with
growing air of discontinue wandered
about the walls. Mr.. Bowker express
sion grew more and more scornful as he
gazed, and at last he turned upon his
sweetheart and asked:
"Will YOU have a mon wi YOU to tex

"If | could max sure of his bein'

"Good-bye, Miss Jukcs,' said Mr..

HOW EDISON MADE A BUG.

A correspondent of the indianapolis
Journal tells the following story Of Edi-
son: One of my letters spoke Of the
possibility of utilizing the present ga
pipes by running the electric wires through
them. How is this wonderful Edison
going to get his wires through the pipes.
| should like to know asked an unbc-
lever. Edison thought it over.
"Why, see here, Johnson he ex-
claimed the next morning. I'll make
bug that will drag wire through all the
pipes in New York.
Make a bug" said Johnson; "what
in the world are YOU talking about"
"Well, III make bug, said Edison.
IAN iron bug that will 90 where you send
it and drag wire after it.
His assistants drew around, while he
described his coming-or, rather, his GO
ing-bug. Next day he hatched rude
specimen of that insect as large as a coat
button. And it stood out on the table
and crawled,
1t was constructed thus: a minute
electromagnetic carried behind it fine
insulated wire, the armature of the mag
net operating a friction pawl. Now, OBJ
serve-every time the circuit is closed
through the magnet the armature is at
tached, the pawl clutches the sides of
the gaspipe with its claws, and the mag
net behind is drawn toward the amature
about sixteenth of an inch When the
circuit is open, the amature reaches for
ward ready to take a second step. Thus.
at every closing of the circuit the little
magnet advances one step and drags for
ward the insulated wire. This descrip-
ton will be, perhaps, incomprehensible to
non-experts, but more people know some
thing about electricity than formerly did.
and every telegraph operator will under
stand how the iron bug reaches out its arm
ature claws and crawls around gas-pipe.
"Now don't misunderstood this, said
Edison; sit isn't at all likely it will ever
be used to thread gas pipes; have made
it merely for fun-just to show that | can
make first-rate bug that will crawl
around all by himself. shan't make a
cockroach, for there is no necessity for
anv more, but-By the way, may make
toy lightning-bug some time. He could
be made to tighten easy enough. won

AT HOME FROM CHURCH.

The lilacs liz in generous bloom
Their plumes OF dear o'd.!Ashloned flowers
Their fragrance fills the atill old house
Where LETT alone count the hours.
High in the apple-irees the bees
Are humming, busy IN the sun
An idle robin cries for rain
But ouce or twice Snd then Is done.
The sunday morning quie; holds
In heavy slumber all the street,
While from the church, just out Of sight
Behind the elms, comes low and sweet
The organs drone, the voices faint
That sing the quaint longmeter hymn
l somehow feel as IL shut out
Prom sOme mysterious temple, din
Aud beautiful with blue and red
And golden lights IRON windows high,
Where angels in the shadows stand
And earth seems very near the sky.
The day-drean fades-and so try
Again to catch the tune that brings
No thought OF temple nor OF priest,
But only OF one voice that sings.

LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS The Con-
vention has confined the sessions Of tho
Legislature 10 sixty days, or rather it has
declared that no pay shall be allowed to
members for longer time than sixty
days, except the first session called after
the adoption of this Constitution, at which
members may be allowed pay for one
hundred DAYS. This is an awkward and
unsatisfactory clause. Sixty days, once
in two years, are not enough to enable
the Legislature TO examine, digest and
correct statutes. One hundred and twenty
days are little enough time for a Lcgisla-
ture to sit IN young, growing, great
State like this, whose interests are so di-
versifed and whose territory embraces
all the varieties Of the temperate zone.
The Convention itself has now been in
session one hundred and thirty days and
is not within twenty days Of being through
ard yet it had much less to do, in point
of fact, than any Legislature that has
assembled in California. We think that
the Constitution should have limited tho
sessions to l2o days, commencing carly
in January. That would be definite; but
here the Convention says to the Logisla-
turc, "You may sit FOR sixty days under
,ay of the people, hut if you remain
longer you must DO so at your own cost,
unless some benevolent or interested par
ties shall reward you" And there may
be those who would gladly so reward

town of Mariposa, eight white men visit
el an Indian rancherie, hung an old
Indian and shot and killed throa others
and a squaw, bos ides wounding another
squaw. After this fearful and most inhu.
man proceedings, the murderers attended
divine service, say the local papers, and
then went abodt their business the same
as though nothing had happened outside
the usual routine. Five ofthe vile as
sassins have been arrested and it Is hoped
the otEer three soon will be. Hanging
