RudOlphe and the Princess found
themselves for a moment alone. The
Prince Selling the opportunity, and
preserving the courtly style which is
nowhere more rigorous than at Vienna,

" Your highness' answer makes me
happy" rejoined the prince; and she
added, "And promise you that under

This was all, and they went out to-

Prince Rudolph said to the king

have asked the Princess Stephanie

We copy the subjoined letter from
the Vicksburg Commercial of April
24th
CANTON April 10, 1880.
To the Editor of the Commercial
DEAR SIR-In your daily issue of
the 18th inst, appears cOmmunica-
ton from correspondent in YaZeO
City, suggesting me for Congress
from this district in terms of such
fiattering commentator, as to cause
me to regret that do not know the
gentleman, who thinks so kindly
of me.
Inasmuch as my name has been
several times mentioned of late, in
the same connection, it should not
subject me to the jest of refusing an
honor before it is rendered. to say now,
at this early day, that l do not desire
the nomination, and should decline
1t if offered. This is final and should
effectually sponge me from the slate of
possible aspirants.
Assuming that our present Jealous
and efficient representative, Mr..
Singleton, will be re-nominated if he
desires to be, it may also be assumed
that, if he shall not wish it, and if
geographical location is to be con-
sidered, his successor will be be select
ed, rot from Madison, but from the
eastern or the extreme western part of
the district Aside from this, my
private fortune does not justify me in
embarking in politics, and, were the
case different, one or two gentlemen
are suggested for the place, whom l
could not be induced to oppose. The
real regard of one true man, is worth
more than any office in the power of
the country to give.
My present unsought position I
esteem as of equal honor and more
responsibility than the one in question,
and my only ambition now, is to
finish my present term with the same
kind feeling and confidence as at
present exists between the bar and
people and the bench, and then for the
remainder of my life, to deserve the
respect of my associates as a private
citizen.
Very respectfully,
S. S. CALHOON.

coP1AH CIRCUIT COURT.

This Court convened last Monday
Judge Calhoon on the Bench; Maj. H
S. Foote, Jr., District Attorney; Uncle
Billy Cook, Sheriff; E. w. Brown,
Clerk. The civil docket was taken
Eup and appeared to be rather meagre,
very few cases of Importance Were
tried. The bar of Copiah seemed to
be able to take care of the litigation Of
her courts. There were hardly any
attorneys present from other counties
the first week. Among the home bar
we We're gratified to notice that III. B.
Mayes, Jr. and Geo. S. Dodds, OF
Hazlehurst, and A. w. Burnett, of
Crystal Cprings, all three very young
attorneys, who are just entering the
practice, have made favorable impress
sions and have given out promises of
future success and usefulness.
The criminal docket will be taken
up next Tuesday. There are four or
five murder cases on it, which will
elicit considerable interest in the COM
munity. We will endeavor to have a
reporter on hand to give description
of these trials.
We found business rather dull in
Hazlehurst for Court week, but the
town is favored with good class of
merchants, lawyers and doctors, who
go in more for substance than shadow.
Hazlehurst has the reputation of being
one of the most solid towns on the
Jackson road, and Copiah is undoubt-
edly one of the best counties in the
State.
Among the live and active men Of
Hazlehurst, we had the pleasure of re-
newing an acquaintance with Mr.. e.
G. Williamson, business man of dash,
accuracy and enterprise, who is run
ming drug store, and is proprietor of
the "The Great National Remedy"
which he is pushing to a success.
There are few men who have display
ed more energy and tact than he, and
we predict for him brilliant success.
Cal Roberts, the "Old Pilgrim" is
the Hazlehurst Hotel, and
also the Rolla Ryan Combination, and
he is equal to both emer-
gencies. During his absence in the
cause of humanity and public edifica-
ton, the hotel goes along as well, if
not better than when he is present.
This happy state of things is attribu-
table to the admirable management of
Mrs. Roberts and the polite attentions

Congressional.
To the Editor of the Comet :

To the Editor of the Comet:
AS a citizen of the Fifth Congress
sional District, 1 desire through th
columns of your very popular journal
to give to the public few words VIII.
our present representative in Con
gress, Hon. G. L. Hooker, should no
at the present time be "rotated" gu
of office.
In the first place it would so tickl,
and delight the editor of that gfea
and conscientious" journal, the Vicks
burg Herald to such a degree that
am afraid it would destroy his useful
ness (?) for all time to come.
In the next place, and to be serious
the North has always had decided
advantage over the South in the legis.
lative experience of its members
When Northern constituency Sc.
cures the services of good man they
keep him in Congress till he grows old
with age or dies in harness; the South
INDUCED the folly of frequent changes
in their representatives, and almost
every change places our section at a
disadvantage, for the new members
have to meet the trained and expe-
rienced Legislators of the North and
can not cope with them in getting
through and defeating measures. 1t
has been the ruinous habit of our
people to change their representatives
too often. Statesmen are not made in
a day; it is a severe and an expensive
school. When you secure the services
of an able man he should not be fro
tated" out of office for light causes.
That Col. Hooker is looked upon at
the national capital as statesman
and safe leader, there is no doubt,
and to my mind there is no good and
sufficient reason to displace him.
AS there is soon to be general re-
districting of the State, would it not
be well enough to let the matter of
rotating" out our present efficient
delegation rest until that time. One
of my main reasons, Mr.. Editor, for
favoring the denomination of Col.
Hooker, is the fact that he has in
hand and before Congress several i'm
portant measures that will rebound
greatly to the interest of his District;
it will be impossible for him to get all
of them through this Congress, and l
am sure new and inexperienced
man could not take them up and
bring them to successful termina-
ton as could the present incumbent.
Mr.. Editor, I have the highest re-
spect for the ability of Messrs.
Thompson and McLaurin, and 1 am
sure either of them would do credit to
the District, but do not think the
time has come just yet for change.
They are both young men and can
afford to wait awhile. Their trans
abilities will yet bring them
to the very front without effort on
their part.
These, Mr.. Editor, are my reasons
in part why Col. Hooker should be
returned to the 47th Con-
gress. Respectfully,
FIFTH DISTRICT.

absurdity of all such Acts apparent to any
man of discernment."
Before giving the amendment of ID. ane
its fate, it may be necessary to explain the
reference to Professor Espy, in his amend
ment. About the period when this amend
ment was offered, professor by the name
of Espy, had announced theory of storms.
A part of the theory was that rain could be
produced in any locality, at will, by kind
ling large fires, and thereby attracting cur
rents of moist air, which would bring with
them clouds and rain.]
81 offered this amendment to the bill
declaring Chunky river navigable stream,
to-wit: And that said Chunky, in order
to justify its name, is hereby declared to
be as broad as it is long, and that Professor
Espy be employed by the State to stand at
the head of said Chunky and provide water
for the same"
"What was my surprise when the amend
ment was treated seriously by member
who was great stickler for the rules, by
saying that the amendment would require
the House to so into Committee of the
Whole, as it needed an appropriation out
of the treasury, to give it effect. Beside,
he favored the amendment to the end that
the water supply should be let out to the
lowest bidder, as economy and reform were
the watchwords of the party. Talk to me,
said D., about sentiment or wit being APP
preciated in that House."
History repeats itself-Sunset Cox is now
engaged in an effort to stop the leaks in
the treasury of the United States, by pro-
viding water for "the Kiskisminetus, and
other spring branches"
1t is doubtful whether he has so fully
ridiculed these absurd species of legislation
in Congress, as Sam ID. did the hobby of
declaring navigable streams in our State
Legislature over forty years ago. 1t is
doubtful too, whether the former will
succeed better than the latter did in checking
the evil. 1 have revived these features
from memory's negative, and send them to
be photographed in THE COMET, if worth
printing. ALASKA.
