Death of Distinguished and Veneer.
able Man-Gen. j. O. N. Robertson.
Memphis Avalanche. !


The venerable Gen. Julius G. N. Robert
son died at his home, near fernando, Miss,
at 1880 O'Clock Thursday night, after sever
al months almost continuous illness.
The death of Gen, Robertson sewers
another Of the links that connect the present
with the earlier day of the republic
He was a native of Jonesboro, Washington
county, Tenn, and was born February 20,
1892. II is said that he was the first white
child born in Jonesboro. His father was
George Robertson, whowas the son of Charles
Robertson, Trustee of the Wautauga settlers,
moving from North Carolina and settling in
East Tennessee about the year 1855.
In 1872, Gen. Robertson was old enough
TO take an active part in the war with Great
Britain, in which he served with the Ten.
nesseeans under Gen. Jackson. lie was
present at the battle of New Orleans, and at
the time OF his death was one of the small
list OF old soldiers drawing pensions for that
war. lie also served under Gen. Jackson
during the Greek war, and was in the battle
of Talladega
1t was in 1914 or 1916 that Gen. Robertson
removed with his family to Mississippi.
Having purchased large plantation three
miles from fernando, he thenceforward de-
voted himself to agricultural pursuits, in
which he was always successful. Never
political aspirant Gen. Robertson's distaste
for office holding grew upon him with a ad.
Vancing years. After he went TO Mississippi
never appeared in public life except once MS
member of the State Convention. Upon
the issue between the North and Sonth in
1861 he was pronounced friend and adyo.
cate of the Union. Never having learned
TO conceal his views on any public question
he most earnestly sought to stem the seces.
sion tide which swept over his adopted STATE
Although differing in this regard from a
large body of his friends and neighbors his
sincerity was undoubted and his course res.
pected. He was man to command atten.
tion, honor and respect, and belonged to the
class whom nothing could swerve from their
opinions when once matured and avowed
In 1868 the excuses of what was known as
the carpet-bagger element caused Gen. Rob
ertson to make an active canvass of DeSoto
and his speeches and efforts contributed moi
a little to defeat the proposed Constitution
of that year in his own county.

Yazoo-not Kansas.
Shubuta Messenger.

We have taken some trouble to learn the
bottom facts of the reported exodus of ne
groes from Jasper and Clarke counties to
Kansas so far as Clarke is concerned. We
find that in the extreme west of the county
on the Jasper county line some few families
are selling out and preparing for the move,
but Jasper county will have to contribute
very largely to the movement if 500 are
going. The quota from Clarke will be small.
The negroes are selling off their property
without any regard to value. We hear of
one farmer who bought splendid pair of
mules and good wagon for $3.50, worth dou.
BILE the amount, We heard Thursday of
party that was to leave DeSoto for the prom
ised land and sent up to friend for infor-
nation and get the following;
-Four families leave here tonight mostly
from Wayne county, near Shubuta. They
are the Sumrall negroes children and grand
children of Peter, Harry, Sam, and Bob
Sumrall. Thirty-one work hands and about
ten children, total forty-one. w. H. Lam.
beth takes them to Yazoo county. Send
him your paper at Yazoo City.

Card from Greenbacker's Exculpating
Gen. West and Defining their Position
ON the Caucus.

To the Editor of the Comet

JANUARY, s. 1880.
To the Editor of the Comet
We notice In your issue of yesterday q
communication signed "A Greenhack Dem
ocrat,' which does injustice to Gen. A. NJ.
West and other Greenbackers. Your cor
respondent estates that Gen. West is per-
sonally DESTROYS of seeing Maj, Barksdale
elected to the Senate, and that he is devils
ing plan to keep the Greenbackers out of
the Democratic caucus" This vote, ssays
your correspondent with the exception of
Gen. West, and perhaps one or two others,
would be thrown against Mai. BarkSdale,
and divided between his opponents
Not a Greenbacker, that we know of had
expressed any desire To have seat in the
Democratic caucus. Gen. West has made
no effort whatever to influence the vote of
any Greenbacker, SO far as we know, but on
the contrary he has given every one to
understand that when IL came to voting for
a Democrat that he should vote for the man
of his own choice, and thar he expected anv
other Greenbacker to do likewise, and there
has been no understanding contrary to this,
and no meeting held for the purposes re-
ferred to in the article above mentioned.

The Maine Lesson.

We would infer that the trouble and
threatened boodshed in Maine, has
taught lesson to some of our Northern
friends, from what the Boston Herald,
a conservative Republican, says. Here
tits:
We have already referred to one valuable
lesson to be drawn from the election i'm.
broglio in Maine and every phase presented
emphasizes it, When we have read about
conflicting State governments in the South,
II did not seem to US that such conflicts
could ever take place IN this section. We
were apt to think that our civilization was
too thorough, and our modes of proceeding
too well established, to allow Of any qucs-
ton In regard to giving full and honest ex-
preston to the will Of the majority express.
cd in any election, But wc Gad that Hc State
Of Maine is liable 10 the same difficulties as
Louisiana, and, though the manners of the
people are different, the danger of violating
law is as great in one State as in the other,
This experience should teach as charity ana
incDtcate respect for eocy popular protest
against official 'crong Candidates for office
have been frequently counted out on tech
nicalities in every State, but in Maine the
result has been so sweeping as to reverse
the expressed will of the people at the polls.

Work and Live.

Man was put into the world to work
and cannot find true happiness in re-
naming idle. So long as a man has
vitality to spare upon work it must be
used or it will become a source OF
grievous, harassing discomfort. The
man will not know what to do with
himself; and when he has reached such
a point as that he is unconsciously dig
ging q grave for himself and f~ashioning
his own coffin. Life needs n steady chan
mel to run irregular habits of work and
of sleep. 1t needs a steady, stimulating
aim a tendency toward something. An
aimless life cannot be happy or for a
long period healthy. Even il man has
achieved wealth sufficient for his needs,
he frequently makes an error in retiring
from business. "A greater shock a
hardly befall a man who has been active
than that which he experiences when,
having relinquished his pursuits. he
finds unused time and unused vitality
hanging upon his idle hands and mind.
The current of his life is thus thrown
into eddies or settled into q sluggish
pool, and he begins to die. When the
fund of vitality sinks SO low that he can
follow no labor without such n draft
upon his forces that sleep cannot restore
them, then it will be Don enough to stop
work,

No Place Like Home.

A remarkable story is told in a recent
number of the Ropul1r Science Monthly
of adog-a pointer-owned by q gen
tleman of Cincinnati, who three times
gave him away to friends at some dis
lance from the city, only to find him
back again, once through a binding
snowstorm, very shortly after his ban
ishl ent. 1t was resolved to expert
ment with him in order to test the fact
whether this was the result Of memory
or of some keenly-developed scent or
other sense not known. He was accord.
ingly doSed with morphine and taken to
q town in Kentucky $50 miles away. In
twenty-eight hours he was at his mas
ter's door. 1t was thought, however,
that he might have recovered from his
lethargy in time TO see in what direction
he was going, and so had found his way
back by simply keeping to the railroad
track. lie was therefore dosed with
ether, put into n closed basket and taken
southeast and northeast, then kept in a
dark shed overnight and let loose in the
morning. He at once set out in q
straight line and on n run, not at all like
an animal that had lost his way, crossed
two broad rivers and three steep mount
tain ranges, through five large towns and
a network OF roads and crossroads. Al
though he had never been in that part
Of the country before, in four days he
reached Cincinnati again. He could not
have remembered or known anything
about his journey down, for he was un-
conscious the whole of the time. What,
then, induced him to start inthe right
direction and keep it until he arrived
home?
This question has long puzzled the
naturalists; for stranger instances OF
animals finding their way home even
than this have occurred. They are,
however, rare, and suggest the idea that
this instinct is exceptional and not con.
mon to animals.

Words OF WISDOM

A gilded frame makes a good picture
In the eyes of nearly all the world.
The only disadvantage Of an honest
heart is credulity.
The smaller the caliber of mind the
greater the bore of q perpetually open
mouth.
Advice is like snow, the softer it falls
the longer it dwells upon and the deeper
1t sinks into the minds.
Friendship which flows from the
heart cannot be frozen by adversely, as
he water that flows from the spring
does not CONCEAL in winter.
The sun which ripens the corn and
fills the succulent herb with nourish-
ment also pencils with beauty the violet
and the rose.
Do not wait for the assistance OF
Others in your cur through life; you
will grow Hungry, depend upon it, if
you look to the charity and kindness of
others for your daily bread. II is more
noble and praise worthy to give up
your lives and meet the troubles and
difficulties of human life with o daunt-
less courage.

Jerusalem as n Place of Residence.

Jerusalem seems to be growing in
favor as a place of residence for for
eigners who find their native countries
uncomfortable. The foreign Jewish
population has, according to Consul
Moore, increased considerably of late
years. That community is now csti-
mated at $4,000 including native Jews,
against 10000 in 1873. The right OF
holding real property in Turkey, con-
coded to. foreign subjects by the protocol
in 1868, probably accounts for the in
creased emigration. The German
colony at Jerusalem now numbers
nearly 400 persons; that at Jafra about
300. There is n third German settle
ment at Caiffa of about equal number
with the last mentioned. The settlers
are mechanics, artiicers, carriers and
agriculturists, and are fairly prosper
Gus.
No public works have been executed;
yet n harbor at Jaffa, a good carriage
road OF tramway from that town TO
Jerusalem, and good roads all wei the
district are urgently needed. A rail-
way would not, in Consul Moore's
opinion, b eunder present conditions re-
muncrative unless as part of a system
of railways for Syria and PALESTINE

A MARYLAND farmer is making money
out of an enormous crop Of potato bugs.
Being opposed to tho use Of paris green
he rugged up a large wash boiler in his
field, and hiring six men, collected the
bugs, and soused them in boiling water.
About two gallons were collected, and
by accident n piece of old sheep skin
leather, used for lining shoes, went into
the mess. After the cooking had been
going on for half an hour he was aston
ished to find that the leather had
changed its color to the richest dark
crimson. This arouslng his curiosity,
he inserted other materials, and asoer-
tanned another popularity of the liquid.
The material placed in it changed first
to a dark brown, then q greenish hue,
then pure yellow, then light blue, chang
ing to dark blue; then light red, termi-
mating in the brilliant scarlet, which
was the permanent color. Conse-
luence: formation of stock company to
make dyeing mixtures from potato
bugs.
