The able dramatic critic of the Kan.

Darlington, the substantial prima donna
of the Mendelssohn Quintette Club,
cultivated and pleasant, but not phe-
nomenal." To hedge against all possible
ambiguity, it will not be superfiuous to
add that this observation was not mode
in connection with the artists physique.

II highly commend the western idea
so far rs it relates to the treatment OF
that dangerous class of citizens known
as agitators. 1t is my candid opinion
that if John Kelly could be subjected TO

in the case of Dennis Kearney, the pop.
ular feeling of security ON the Atlantic
seaboard would be very largely en-
hanced."-S. J. Tildcn.

From the Starkville Citizen
MR.. T1LDEN.

1t would be unwise for the Cincin-
natl Convention to nominate this gen.
tleman for the Presidency. He is not
popular in the South. And his name
would awaken Jess enthusiasm than
any other that has been mentioned in
connection with the nomination. 1t
may be that he is lacking in those
peculiar personal qualities that inspire
the sentiment of enthusiasm. How.
ever that may be, it is fact worthy
to be gravely considered, that there is
conspicuous absence OF this senti-
ment for Mr.. Tilden in this part Of
the country. The case may be more
strongly stated, there is more active,
decided and outspoken opposition to
Mr.. Tilden, than there has been to
any other man in the party who has
been mentioned for this office in the
past twenty years. Whether this
is just or unjust, is not the
question the objective fact is the
thing to be considered. In
view of this, we again repeat, his
would be IL mistake.
The comet. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1877-1882, 1880-05-08
Gems and Precious stones.

Mr.. Watherston, and eminent
London jeweler, gave an interesting
lecture lately on gems and precious
stones. He said that, with the
exception of the diamond in the glass
cutters hand, they are intrinsically
worthless, high estimation in olden
times having been due to their use as
magical charms against evil, while in
later times they have been priced as
concentrated expressions of wealth
and splendor. He said that Braganza,
belonging to the crown of Portugal,
and still in the rough, is the largest
diamond. 1t weighs 1850, and the
Koh-i-noor before being cut, weighed
7S7 carats. There are cruel allegations
against the Braganza to the effect
that it is only white topaz. In this
ease diamond belonging to the Ra-
jah of Matan comes to the top. A
Governor of Batavia offered 81, 500, 900
for it, but the Rajah refused the offer.
saying that his diamond was a tails
man upon whose possession depended
not only his own happiness and sue
cess, but that of his whole family. OF
rubies, scarcely mo than two can be
deemed historical. The first and most
famous is that i'm Nictoria's cross, 1t
is believed, on tolerably good author
lily, TO have been worn in front of the
helmet of Henry V at Agincourt.

THE ABBOT KISS.

This is the way the manager Of
Emma Abbot's Opera Company ex-
planned the kissing scene in Paul and
Virginia. to a reporter of the VIII
migton Every Evening;
"Well, that kissing business is woe
fully fascinating. [ must admit. VI
course, every man in the audience
kicked himself and cursed his luck
that he wasn't Paul, and we timidly
venture the assertion that every girl
in the audience felt that it would be
awful nice if they could only be in
Virginia's place. Aha! that kiss
that long, low, languishing, limpid,
LIQUID, lingering kiss twas a calm,
holy, ecstatic outbreakiDg Of two fond
and trusting hearts, an intermingling
of two gentle souls sacrificed by love,
a acommunion of the intangible by tang
ible means, a blending Of earth with
heaven, in which the latter had a
prepOnderance. Twas such
a kiss as Troilus, stealing into the
Trojan camp, might fain have breath
ed upon Cressida's maiden lips, to the
melody Of the joyful nightingale that
sang Of love in the sheen OF the round,
red moon and the stars that see but
never tell"

THE FIRST DISTRICT.

In another column we print the
dignified and admirable card from
Col. Muldrow to his constituents,
declining to. be a candidate for re-
election 10 Congress.
Col. M. has made an active and
efficient member, and deserves the
almost unlimited trust and confidence
which his people accord to him. In
his declination, he has presented a
worthy and unselfish example. 1t is
said that man may die or meet with
the accident of removal from office,
but that he never resigns. In good
truth, the examples are rare, where
the incumbent of an honorable and
lucrative office voluntarily relin-
quishes it. Nevertheless, we do some
times see political phenomenon of
this sort, and Col. Muldrow presents a
conspicuous one. He is entitled to
additional honor for this step.
From what we can learn of the
sentiment of the Democracy in this
first district, juding from the news
papers and leading men of those
counties, Maj. Jno. M. Allen of Tupelo,
has the inside track on Col. Muldrow's
successois ship. The impression seems
to be quite general, that he will be
ON the first ballot; however,
Col. Meek, of Lowndes, and Gen.
of Chickasaw, arc both
splendid gentlemen, of acknowledged
ability and popularity, and either Of
them would make a fine representa-
