The following is copy of letter
addressed to Sublett Bros. of this city i:
Messrs. iSu6leW Bsos., Monroe:
DEAR SIRs-The 60 saw Phoenix
gin-feeder which purchased of you Is
the most perfect gin-feeder- ever in
vented. It gives entire satisfaction,
feeding IL bales Of cotton per day, be-
sides knocking out all dirt, trash aud
hulls from the cotton. Every one who
sees 1t at work says that 1t Is the most
complete feeder ever seen, aud sur
passes all others. Too much cannot
be said in its favor, and who ever tries
them once will have none but Phoenix
Feeders. Yours truly,
---, w. E. DUKE.

Industrial enterprise, but the building
of stores, residences and other houses

dations laid for a two-story brick on
the site of his old stand, foot OF Walnut

$4,000.

MOurning In America.

Visitors to this country are greatly sur
prised at the long period during which peo-
pie wear mourning and remain In Seclusion
The custom must be purely American, for 1t
does not obtain elsewhere. In England
widow or widower may, with perfect pro-
priety, divest themselves OF mourning attire
at the end OF twelve months, although, In
most cases, they retain 1t, In some degree
while longer. Mourning is worn for parents
for one year, but changed to lighter mourn
ing after six months, and the same as re-
CARDS the mourning OF parents for children.
Except In the case OF widows and widowers
II Ii not deemed at all obligatory to abstain
from society for more than SIX months,
although In the case OF parents who have lost
children 1t would be unusual to go to large
entertainments before the expiration OF
a year. Where parent has died we'll stricken
In years, and quite In ordinary course Of ma
ture It would excite no remark were the chill
dren to go to quiet dinner parties after three
sion wonld, In sucn case, be deemed affecta-
that some people really pass large part Of
their lives In weeping and seclusion, the
death OF father, mother, and sister or
brother making an aggregate OF five years.
1t Is q question whether we are not carrying
the thing too far. Life was surely not made
to be spent In permanent seclusiun on account
OF bereavement, more especially for those
who, In the ordinary course OF nature. must
predeeease US. Thousands Of persons would
gladly cut short their mourning but for the
tyranny Of fashion, which arbitrarily rules In
this as In 80 much besides.

MARLBOROUGH AND GRAY.
WHY the Lord Lieutenant Of Ireland Re-
fused to Dine with the Lord
Mayor Of Dublin. -.
Washington post.l

Mall advices bring some more particulars
OF the refusal OF the Lord Lieutenant 10 diu0
with the Lord Mayor Of Dublin, which hae
been one Of the features OF the Irish question
at home. For years such q thing has not
been known, and the Duke OF Marlbor0ugh,o
action caused considerable party excitement.
On the nineteenth Of January the Lord Mayor
presided at meeting OF Irish members OF
Parliament, at which resolutions were passed
regarding the distress In Ireland, and az
pressing sympathy and promising support
to the peasantry. It was on this account thAt
the Lord Lieutenant refused to attend tho ban
uuet, which was given up In consequences.
The Lord Mayor treated the affair 10 very
matter-of-fact way, and 10 his speech TO tho
corporation made decided point when ho
suggested that the Lord Lieutenant did not
wish to attend the banquet and shoulder the
responsibility OF the governments actions.
The Duke OF Marlborough, he thought Wa
q benevolent man. and had done all that he
was able to arouse the government to sense
OF It's duty. He heard the cries OF the starving
and felt the burden which, az represent alive
Of the government, rested on his shoulders.
"God forbid" said the Lord Mayor, that
under these circumstances should cay onO
word to add to that feeling OF desperate re-
sponsibility or pain which, as q Christian
man, he must feel" And 30, for q time, tho
breeze has blown over.
