SOLITUDE.

O Solitude! thou friend OF mournfui thought
Once more thy sa.dly- pleasing charms reveal.
And let thy gentle musings DER me steal.
Like soft delights Of pain and pleasure fEauBht-
Now let me wander, while In lstlcss mood,

TO sing, perchancc, in youthful st1nlns Of love-
Till Echo Wakes the sylvan solitude.
In such peaceful spnt let me repose,
To lInger on the pnge Of ancient lore,
While from the trees Heavens sweet musicians
pour
Their stxains, until my eyes, like Argus, close
Or. by the side OF some meanderiug stream
Whose argent waves through shadowy maxes
Let me Tecline where scattered wtld-nowers

While, from 1ay seat in Natures lavish hall,
Viewing each lovely flower, each joyous bird
Whose sweet, harmonious notes afar are heard,

Bosto1, Advertiser,
Mr., Freeman, at the close Of the hearing at
which he was adjudged insane, shook hands
with quite number of his friends IN Inc
courtroom, and was then conducted back TO
iail. He expressed himself as being satlshed
with the result of the hearing, and will oe
glad to change his present quarters for some

of insanity, the Bible must be shut up" he
regards the doctors who testified as to his
insanity with kindly feelings, mingled, how
ever, with something Of pity that such good
men should be so deluded. His sublime
exaltation is beyond all conception. he
thinks he is the spirit of Truth,
a being parallel in his existence with
Christ, and he believes his body is Immortal.
"It is time now for the spirit of Truth" he
SAYS, j" the third part Of the Trinity. Up to

A Word TO Advertisers.

One OF the oldest and best adver.
tisers in the country gives four
cardinal points that all advertisers
may profit by it: First, If one has
a good thing, which the people real
~ need, the more widely he makes
it known the larger will be his sales ]
be will gain nothing BY economic
ing in this matter, provided he ad.
vertises with good Judgment. Sec.
ond, no one need expect to do a
brisk and extended business, in
these days, who fails to advertise,
and advertise freely. Third, il
COSTS money, at the outset, TO ad
vertise, and one must not expect
to do this effectually for little OF
nothing. But ii properly done il
will pay in the end. Fourth, pa
pers differ IRON each other greatly
in their advertising rates. Th,

An Ancient Building.

n. o. States.
Perhaps the most venerable
structure in the Southwest, is an
ancient fort located IN East Pasca-
goula, which nearly century age
was converted into residence.
The tradition is that it was erected
BY the fist French expedition that
visited this country, in 1869, and
when abandoned as a stronghold
during the last century, fell into
the possession of French soldier
named Krebs. Six generations of
his descendants were born there,
and u lady OF that name is still in
possession.
Immediately after the close OF
the Mexican war it became the
Headquarters of Gen. Twiggs, and
a sqadron of the Second Dragons,
greatly prostrated by the campaign,
pncanlped here to enjoy the ben
eft of lredicinal spring which is
said to possess extraordinary heal

fraud OF 1o166I. lie had more to
do with it than any other man, and
was the only man who occupied to.
ward it Il double relation. After
the election Garfield went to New
Orleans by request OF Gen. Grant,
without authority Of law, as a par
tlSan. He went there to assist his
party III making up case, aud at
ter his return to Washington, of
all his associates he was the only
man who took bis seat upon the
electoral commission. By every
sentiment OF fair play he should
have been excluded from HE jury
box. By his own sworn statement
OF what he did in New Orleans.
Garfield bad charge OF the returns

custom house he did bis work, ex.

they were not sufficiently full, be
prepared or had prepared addition
al interrogatories to bring them
within the rules adopted by the re-
turning board. The testimony, SO
received by Garfield, went back to
the returning board, and the result
Was that West Feliciana with it's
democratic majority was thrown
out. In Washington, Garfeld's
vote was that congress could not
go behind the returns thus made.
AS agent for his party he helped to
make returns by manipulating the
evidence; aud as juryman for the
nation he held such evidence as
conclusive and binding.-ThOmds

More than all, Hancock repre-.

tiOnal lines. Garfield represents
party born ot sectional agitation,
nurtured in sectional hate, .and
which today provOkes a solid dem-
ocratic South, in tue hope that il
may organize a solid republican
North. They tell you the govern
meat is in danger from solid
South and that strong govern
ment Is necessary to suppress
southern violence. ! tell you, my
fellow citizens, that a strong uy.
ernment means weak people, and
weak people, willing 10 submit to
strong government, means tue end
ot the republic and the beginning
OF despOtiSm. If the South we're
solid Tor any evil purpose it might
be well to listen to such clamOr,
bat it is not. She is solid in her
prayers for peace and prosperity.
She is solid for honesty, economy,
and good government. She is solid
tor the old flag and a gallant Uuion
soldier who bore it in triumph on
the field. She is solid against
bribery, corruption, whisky rings,
aud fraudulent contracts. In short,
she is solid for democracy aud
against the republican party.
But ! came here To ask you
what it is you fear from the South,
and why it is you refuse to trust
the democratic party on account Of
its Southern membersi You did
not fear the South when in arms
You cannot fear any hostile inva.
