A Miracle of Honesty.

At party one evening several con-
tested the honor of having done the
most extraordinary thing; reverend
gentleman was appointed the judge Of
their respective pretensions. One pro-
duced his tailor's bill with a receipt at
tached to it. A buzz ran through the
room that this could not be outdone,
when second proved that he had just
arrested his tailor for money lent him.
The palm is his, was the general cry,
when third put in his calm.
Gentlemen said he, Il cannot boast
of the acts of my predecessors, for |
have just returned to the owners three
lead pencils and two umbrellas that
were left at my house.
'Fll hear no more cried the astonishcd
arbitrator. This is the very acme of
honesty, it is an act of virtue of which
never knew any one capable. The

Women Equal to Men.
memphis Avalanche.j

The new code of Mississippi, to go
into effect on the 1st of November, 1880,
has cut up all the ancient disabilities of
married women, and they are now free
and equal in every respect to their
husbands. 1t is the most radical legis-
lati0n yet had upon the subject. Susan
B. Anthony and Mrs. Merriwether should
at once move to that State and not cease
this agitation till the right to vote has
been secured, as thoroughly as the rights
of property have been.
"Section 1167. The common law as
to the disabilities of married women;
and its effects on the rights of property
of the wife, is totally abrogated, and
marriage shall not be held to impose
any disabilities or incapability on
woman, as to the ownership, acquisition
or disposition of property of any sort,
or as to her capacity to make contracts,
and do all acts in reference to property
which she conld lawfully do, if she was
not married, or hereafter to be married,
shall have the same capacity to ac-
Quire, hold, manage, control, use, enjoy
sonal, whether in possession or eXpec-
fancy, and to make any contract in re-
ference to it, and to bind herself per-
sonally, and to sue and be sued, with all
the rights and liabilities incident thereto
as if she was not married.
"Sec 116S. Husband and wife may
sue each other"
"Sec. 1859. A married woman may
dispose OF her estate, real and personal,
by last will and testament, III the same
manner as if she was not married"
"SectiOn ITO. Dover and courtesy,
as heretofore known, are abolished"
Other sections conform the general
law to these radical changes. husband
and wife inherit from each other all
their respective property if there be no
children, and each a child's part if there
be children or the descendants of chill
dren. They may dissent from each
others wills and take of each Others s
estates according to law, except that If
there be no children, in case of such dis
sent the dissentient gets only half the
estate of her OVID. If the dissentient
has property of his or her own equal to
one-fifth of what he or she would be
entitled to in the others estate, then
the deficiency is to be made up out OF
the others estate.
This legislation will attract attention
in the other States and our own would
be legislators should be made to toe the
mark by the advocates OF womans S
rights.
Let the cry be, Low taxes and wo-
mans, or, High taxes and womans
rights, or, A free ballot and a fair count
and woman's rights according to the,
party the crier belongs to: Mississippi
should have no higher civilization than
Tennessee. Her geographical relation
to US forbds that.

A HYDRoMoToR STEAMER.-At keil,
Germany, the first trial trip was recently
made of the hydromotor ship invented
by DIR. Fleischer, of Leipsic. The ship,
which is of II feet beam, 40 feet long
and 81 feet draft, burden 100 tons, made
ten knots an hour. She is propelled byy
the force of hydraulic reaction, without
the aid of either paddles or screw. The
water passes into a reservoir in the hold
through holes in the bottom, and is
thence pumped out and emptied into
the sea by centf,faga3h AL padmpb dsppbsrea Of
Waters w bne proppellins prop the vessel. The en-
CINE discharged 5000 gallons minute,
and is said to have furnished stronger
Dropell;pg power than screw or paddle,
While the motion was without jar and
gentle as sailing. The vessel could be
Stopped, backed or turned instantly, SO
as to be free from all danger or collisloh
Indeed, vessel thus propelled can be
made to revolve in circle about its
own axis.

Uses OF CorTos.-The earliest mem
tiou of cotton among the classic nations
of antiquity is by Herodotus, who speaks
of it by the descriptive name stree
wool.n which name it still bears in
several continental languages. Cotton
was unknown in Egypt until about 500
wears B. C. In Mexico and Peru the
original Inhabitants possessed the art OF
embalming the bodies of their relations,
and these are always found enclosed IN
cotton cloths, which must have been
made long before those countries were
discovered by Europeans. Among the
presents sent by Cortez to Charles ";
are enumerated cotton mantles, some OF
white. Others mixed with col0rs; waist
coats, tapestries and carpets OF cotton.

Every intelligent man in this country
knows that what the New York Journal
OF Commerce says i'll this brief para
graph is true: ''There is but one means
left of putting down sectionalism wher-
ever it lifts its head. This means can
only be supplied by a Union party.
There is but one Union party in this
country to-day. That is the Democrat
ic party. 1t is the only party which is
alive and strong in all sections of the
land: 1t has its faults, but the greatest
of all-sectionalism-c be imputed
to it. Its strength is more in the North
than in the South. 1t has nearly twice
as many voters here as there. In these
populous Northern States it divides the
votes 80 evenly with the Republicans
that a few thousands, in many States,
even few hundreds, turn the scale at
every, election. This is the party Which
literally and truly, knows no North, no
South, no East and no West, and con-
sents to no sectional injustice it has the
power to prevente'

A tale Of neculiar horror comes from

A tale of peculiar horror comes from
the Swatow quarter OF China. The
military Mandarin for the Kit Yang
district, Pung Tye-jen, has been dlstin-
gushing himself in thoroughly Chinese
fashion. Some small official, who held
tie position of tax collector, had been
murdered by the people, who exaspera,,
ted by his eternal squeezes, considered
taking the law into their own hands to
Tor s M this outrage Pung Tye-jen under
took tool ''t,s to infiict punishment upon the
residents. He first secured the services
of a gunboat to protect his retreat, the
place where the inhabitants had com,
mitted the murder being within reach OF
the guns Of the man -of-war. The place
was besieged, and the soldiers Killed
something like seven hundred Of the
people who were supposed to have taken
part in the uprising against authority
and had caused the mans death.

The following is public expression of
gratitude recently inserted by Saxon
farmer and his wife in the columns Of
German newspaper: Thanks, most
heartfelt thanks, to all those who, upon
hearing of our misfortune on Monday,
Aug 16, when sudden flash of
lightning felled our two cows and She
calf to the earth, at once rushed to our
assistance. Thanks more especially to
the master butchers, Messrs. Thomas
Reichel, and Fischer, who kindly
slaughtered the dying animals on the
spot, thus preserving us from the cruel
loss Of finding ohe ill-fated beasts unfit
for consumption. Thanks, finally to all
those who speedily came from far and
near, and bought up the meat with such
activity that by ) in the afternoon there
was not a scrap left. May heaven
mercifully protect them and us all
against any similar terror and calamity
in future, and bless them a thousandfold
for the truly extraordinary sympathy
they have shown u.s.

Grant is an eminent logician. He
thinks that one vote given to Hancock
by the nominating convention in 1868
ruined him, by putting a bee in his
bonnet that has buzzed there ever since.
If one vote ruined Hancock, what a

Chicago made of Grant !-[City Item.

Whiskey, Snakes and Death.

Persons who may have been in this
town at various times within the last
three or four months will remember Il
small Frerchman, who was always
drunk, always in a good humor, and
always talking very loud, seemingly
with the view of afforling amusement
to any and all who had nothing better
to do than listen to his babbling. This
man gave the name of John Baptlste
Vincent, and claimed to hail from New
Orleans. He is the same man who had
the sham duel played on him last sum
mer. After a two weeks drunk, wind
ing up with de'irium Femens, last Sat
ur,lay he suddenly disappeared. Tracks
were found, supposed to be his, lead
ing intO the river at u point about
one mile above ColtaX, and as no re-
turn tracks could be found it was con-
cluded he had committed suicide.
Nothing more was known of him until
Monday noon, when his body was dis
covered floating in the river, with buz-
yards sitting on it and lowering in the
air. Upon being towed to shore it was
found to be in most sickening plight,
being badly decomposed, while the car
ron birds had eaten all the flesh from
the face and neck. After a hurried ex-
animation the body was wrapped i'll Il
sheet and buried ont of sight in Il rough
grave under the river bank. Thus an
other victim goes to swell the long list
of those who have perished, body and
soul, because men will traffic in rum to
the hurt of their fellow men.-[ [COlfaX

at him seven of these took effect-one
striking his body at the armpit and en-
tering his left arm below the shoulder.
The other six lodged in his left arm at

though not dangerous wounds, while
the rest of the load buried itself in the
