lows:
.sOther races can look to the past for the
glorious deeds Of their noble ancestors. and
read Of their gensrous, manly acts in war
and peace on tables Of marble and bronze.
WheR We look back nothing greets us save
the bones Of our forefathers, mouldering in
q thousand distant swamps, or blackening
upon thousand hill-tops, where they fell
victims to cruel and barbarous masters or
their ferocious bloodhounds. Their names
stand on no tablets; they wear no earthly
laurels. Our forefathers were dragged from
their native lands to chains and slavery in
foreign country. They we're slaves without
hope and without future. The most sacred
ties of family we're broken. The wife Of to-
day Vas . widow tomorrow; the mother Of
one day xas childless on the next morning.
And these misfortunes were brought upon

sometimes called midwinter." With the
eve of St Johns day are connected many
old supersiItous obsery anees.

Of his dislike of certain custom, though
well used TO it, being native here and TO

"Beneft Of clergy" is often spoken of n
il it we're some benefit To be derived from
the attendance of clergy-religious instrue-
ton, consolation. etc. 1t refers to an old
privilege, whereby the clergy were exempted
from the jurisdiction Of lay tribunals their
trials, being managed by an ecclesiastical
court. were often but mere form. In the
darker ages of learning, 'every one who
could read was by the laws Of England con-
sidered to be a clerk" The fifty first psalm.
"Miserere mei.' was accustomed TO be read
by criminals claiming this benefit, hence lis
opening came TO be called .the neck verse
Sir Walter Scott says: When education
was more generally diffused, the laws con-
ferring this privilege were gradually
changed, and have been finally abolished.
"The Immaculate Conception" is supposed
by many TO refer to the Savior, ..Wlo was
conceived by the Holy Ghost" Il observe
a misunderstanding Of the sort in Kisme,' }
The Immaculate Conception is dogma of
the Church Of Rome, and relates solely to
the Virgin Mary. 1t was long asserted that
she was born sinless; some maintained that
she was sancti6ed few hours after birth,
but it was question whether she could at
the earliest period Of existence have con-
tracted any taint of sin. This controversy,
which had ragged for centuries has been
decided by papal authority during the time
of the present generation by the declaration
that she was conceived free from all taint of
original sin.

forty years experience as a teacher has

young person try the experiment of giving
in conversation, briefly and connectedly and
in the simplest language, the chief points Of
any book or article he has read, and he will
at once see what mean. The gaps that are
likely to appear III the knowledge that he
felt was his own, will no doubt be very sur
prising. know of no training superior to
this in utilizing ones reading, in strength
ening the memory and in forming habits of
clear, connected statements. 1t will doubt
less teach other things than those | have
mentioned, which the persons who honestly
make the experiment will find for them
selves. Children who read can be encour-
aged to give in a familiar way, the interest
ing parts Of the books they have read with
great advantage to all concerned More
than one youth know has laid the founda-
ton of intellectual tastes in a New England
family, where hearty encouragement was
given to the children and adults in their at
tempts to sketch the lectures they had heard
the evening previous. The same thing was
done with books.

up tho cases one by ono. OF tho Wardcns,
Mcssrs. Rogers and Henderson voted for
license, and Mossrs. Hayes and Burton
against. This placed Mr.. Blakcly in q
very unpleasant situation. IIc hud always
through life avoided committing himself on
any question. Ho was a man who had
side for every question and overy emcr-
gcncy. IIo saw the dreadful dilemma ho
was in, and would have given his farm to
be relieved. He pleaded with them to re-
consider the matter, and 80 voto us to scttlc
tho question among themselves, without
involving him in tho difficulty. llo
thought of being nominated next year for
tho Assembly, and if he voted against
liconses, he would lose tho liquor influence;
and if ho voted in favor of granting them,
hc would certainly loso tho influence and
favor of tho temperance men; and ho folt
he had no political capital to spare. IIo
appealed to their sympathics all the
argument he could command to induce
them to divide up aud mako majority
one way or tho other. TO him, ho said, it
was immatorial how they decided it, if they
would not compel him to commit himself
llo exhortcd them with tears, but they re-
Tented not.
Being compelled to give the casting vote,
he gave it against licenses, because ho
thought, in view of tho rapidly growing
sentiment for tho liuiac Lao he would
thus loso less political capital.

dispersed for home, us it was then lato in

WASHINGTON, january s, 1SSO.-N1r.

i'll favor of the annexation of tho whole or

this would gain him great number Of I'd

Mr.. Whitthorno appears to believe that
the cx-Prcsident's visit to Mexico has some
such purpose, and that it was arranged in

THE LATE DIR. c. M. Walden.

Senator Peery introduced the sub
joined resolutions in respect to the
memory of the late DIR. c. NJ. Walden,
with these remarks:
MIR. PRESIDENT - In presenting
these resolutions / feel that L am dis
charging a duty due to the memory of
one of Mississippi's most usefulcitizens.
| From my earliest bOyhoOd recollectiOns
| | have known DR.. Walden, and he has
| always been man of the same pro-
gressive ideas, Christian habits,
and charitable instincts that so dis
tinguished him in his declining years.
A man, Mr.. President, whose eXem-
plary conduct throughout life might
be bencticially initiated by all the
youths of this country. l sincerely
desire and feel assured that these reso-
lutlons will meet the hearty approval
OF the Mississippi Legislature.
Whereas, DR.. Coles Meade Walden, who
was for more than forty years Il useful citi-
zen of Mississippi, departed this life at his
residence in Carroll county, on the 9th
day Of the present month, in the GSth year
of his age; and,
Whereas, The latter years of lbs life
were chiefly given to the cause of cduca-
ton in this State, and his bcncfactiOns in
that behalf had eliminated at the time Of
his death, in his main support of seventy
three Young men seeking an education at
our State University; and
Whereas, This unprecedented. uncquall-
ed philanthropy in our our midst had at
tractcd to him while living: the admiration
and love of thousands of our people, and
entitled him to the gratitude of all the state;
and,
Whereas, Aside from the benefits arising
by contributions from his private fortune,
which he so freely dispensed for the educa-
ton of the needy sons of Mississippi, the
cnnObling example of such man is worthy
to be recognized and his memory to be
handed down by 4 public expression from
the Legislature, of which he was but re-
Gently a member; therefore. be it
Resolved by the Legislature Of the State
Of Mississippi. That in the death of Dr.
Walden, the State of Mississippi has lost
one of the greatest philanthropist and the |
University its most liberal friend.
Resolved further, That in deplorinG his |
death, in the name Of the people of the |
State Of Mississippi, we bear willing testi- |
mony to his integrity of character, to hi. |
unseltish patriotism, and his generous and |
useful efforts in behalf Of the uneducated |
of our State.
Resolved further. That these resolutions |
he spread upon the Journals of the Senate |
and House of Representatives, and copy |
of the same. be transmitted by the Srcre-
tAry Of tn, Senate to the family of deceased. |
