TRIBUTE TO THE LATE HON. A. G..
BROWN.

Notwithstanding the severe inclem-
ency of the weather last Wednesday
night, Il considerable audience of the
best citizens of Jackson, with quite a
number of ladies, and many promi-
nent visitors from other counties in
the State, assembled in the Hall of the
House of Representatives to listen to
the eulogy of Gen. George on the life,
character and public services of the
late Hon. A. G. Brown. The speaker
was looking unusually well, was in
good voice, and held his audience in
the stiffness of rapt attention for three
quarters of an hour. The address is
published in full on our first page, and
is Il masterpiece which will take it's
place as one of the living biographi-
cal contributions to our State litera-
ture.
The meeting was called to order by
Hon. T.. Barksdale, and on his motion
Gov. Stone was unanimously chosen
to preside over it. Col. j. l.. Power
was elected Secretary. On taking the
chair, Gov. Stone addressed the meet
ing as follows:

Southern Knight.
FRATRICIDE.

Brothers Ashcrait and Lockhart of Lex
ington, Mississippi, as will be seen in the
letter from "Alga" in another column, are
no mOre-were this all-were it not for the
fact that both appeared before the bar OF
the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, sent
thither by the hand of each other, the
calamity wOuldnOt be so great, and Pylhian-
ism would not have sustained the severe
shock that must naturally result in injury
to the order.
We are grieved to notice that the teach
ings of PythianIsm are not adhered to as
strictly AS they should be. Ours is an
order separate and distinct from politics
and religion All classes and all creeds are
welcomed in our midst as long as the car
dnal principals are complied with, which
means that the applicant must be II white
male, of the legal age, that he must bear Il
character above reprOach, and that he must
believe in the existence of Supreme
Being. Having taken the voluntary oath,
which binds one member to another, it
seems, indeed, almost an imp0ssibility for
one Knight to be aught but friend and
brother to another and yet, the sad news
reaches us, that political influences have
destroyed the happy homes of two worthy
brothers, that political hatred had entered
the hearts of two, who were bound to each
otherb the ties of Pythanism and knights
of Honor.
"Alga," in concluding his letter, bearing
to us this sad news, says:
GAN of us feel now, that politics and
power are far stronger persuasiOns than al
legiance to the order"
This should not be, this must not be!
Let this fearful calamity inspire us to still
greater cXertiOn to inculcate the teachings
of Pythianism. Let this tragedy be an eX-
ample to teach us to bride our passions
and that nevermore may we be called upon
to chronicle so sad an event within the
family of the Knights of Pythias.

AN UNHAPPY TRAGEDY.


Ashcralt and Lockhart, who killed
each other On the evening of the cleo
ton at Lexington, Miss, were both
men of great promise, of education and
fine business accomplishments, with
young families TO look to them, in the
prime Of life, without previous stain
upon character and career which
opened grandly and encouragingly for
them. LockharL was the Chancery
Clerk, and Ashcraft had b en- elected
Sheriff on the evening of the day his
life blood flowed out.
Both were members of the Method
list Church, both brother Masons,
knights of Pythias and Knights Of
Honor, and strong personal friends
all the melowing and endearing asso-
ciatIo Of religion, fraternity, personal
friendships, and official agrecability of
intercourse seemed to have been
thrown around them, to say nothing of
those still more powerful ties of family
and children. Yet all these, in an evil
moment, were snapped in sunder-all
the better part OF their natures were
trampled in the dust, and every lesson
which is taught by home, God and
friendship were utterly forgotten when
they turned upon each other the deadly
missiles of death.
Lockhart was Greenbacker, and
Ashcralt Democrat "a difference
which, after all, amounts to little
more than an abstraction. But it was
enough to create such intensity of
antagonism as to turn the hand of
brother against brother, and speedily
to put out the light of two promising
young men. 1t is II sad eXample-a
melancholy result Of pernicious teach
ings and practices. Men in this
civilized age should be able to differ
in politics without threatening each
other with the pistol, or without con-
sidering it necessary to shield their
persons with this deadly weapon.
We copy from the Southern Knight
the subjoined comment on this melan-
cho y occurrence:

The PULsE.-Many erroneous inn
pressious prevail about the pulse as in
dcative of health or disease common
notion being that its beatings are more
uniform than they really are. Ere.
quency varies with age. In the new
born infant the beatings are from 130
to 14O per minute; in the second year,
from 100 to rs; from the seventh to
the fourteenth year, 80. to 80; from the
fourteenth to the twenty first year,
from Is to So; from the twenty-6rst to
the sixtieth year, from 10 to IS. After
that period the pulse is generally
thought to decline, but medical author
tiles differ radically on this point, hav-
ing expressed the most contradictory
opinions Young persons are often
found whose pulses arc below 60, and
there have been many instances Of
pulses habitually reaching 100, or not
exceeding so, without apparent disease.
Sex, especially in adults, influences
the pulse, and in women it beats more
rapidly than in men. Muscular exer-
ton, even position, materially affects
the pulse It's average frequency in
healthy men is, when standing, 81
when sitting, II; when lying, sc per
minute; in women of the same age and
in the same positions, 81, "a and 70.
In sleep the pulse is considerably slow
er than in wakefulness. In certain
diseases, such as acute dropsy, for in
stance, there may be no more than 20
or 80 per minute Thus one of the
commonest diagnostic signs is liable
to deceive the most experienced prac-
titioDer.-Dr Foote'S Health Monthly.
