Hon. j. r. II. Claiborne.

Natchez Democrat.
We had yesterday the pleasure OF
meeting in this city with Col. j.
+. II. Claiborne, who, although he
is known BY reputation to almost
every man, woman and child in
this community, has been, Oy his
retiring habits and manners,
almost stranger personally to
most of our people. There is not
probably in the South a single in.
dividual who is more tboughly con :.
versant with the history OF every
family in the Southern States, or
who knows more of the local histo-
~ of Southern communities, yet
strange to SAY Col. Claiborne has
for years SO lived among his books
that he has become almost a stran-
ger among the men of the present
generation. Whilst he will live in
posterity by the influence of his
flowing aud graceful pen, he has
become by his retiring disposi.
ton almost a stranger in the couu-
ty of his birth. The history Of
Mississippi which will soon be
published By the Clarion Office at
Jackson will be q monument to
Col. Claiborne's memory, which
will embalm him in the recollec.
tion Of the people of his native
State, and will place him in the
front rank OF the sons OF the State.

Sock that Baby Wore.


Grenada Sentinel.
The little "sock baby wore" has
long siuce been sold to the rag
buyer, and that little baby has
grown mp to he a beautiful, dash
lug girl of about thirteen summers
pretty as a pink and merry as u
blrd-wearing tastily cut and tidy
fitting dresses, which strike her
about four inches below the knee,
and only partially concealinga pair
OF beautiful hose, AS she goes trip
ping down the street, which reminds
one of Joseph's coat of many col.
ors, except the stripes run differ
entity. This girl is real daisy.

The board of health of San
Francisco have been inspecting the
Chinese quarters in that city, and
found them to be In q most horribly
filthy condition, and detrimental to
the health of the community. The
report, which was unanimously
adopted, closed with the recon.
mendation that Chinatown be con-
demned as q nuisance, and calls
upon the proper authorities to take
the necessary steps tor its abate-
mont without delay. The working
men are greatly gratifed at the ac.
ton taken, which, it is believed,
will meet with but little opposition
except from directly interested
parties.

The cross OF the editor, says the
Troy Times, constant as cruel, is
the evanescelce OF his productions.
The most brilliant articles seem
like the freely of June. 1t flashes
aud theu expires. Collected edit.
orials are very dull reading. They
are salt that has lost its SAVIOR.
The most promising experiments
of his kind have been failures.
Dust is OH the leavs, and publish
ers are vexed. But to what hard
working editor does there not
come the hope that at some time
with propitious circumstances,
when the collar shall no longer
chafe, and the strain shall lie re-
laxed, of doing something that
will have permanent utility, upon
which he may facilitate himself as

The Repudiated Bonds.


Jackson Clarion.
Ii the holders of the Mississippi
repudiated bonds had been fanil,
lar with the political history of the
State since the war, they would
have spared themselves the troub.
le of uOmitting to the legislature,
through the Governor, propo-
sition for their settlement. The
legislature, is prohibited from
dealing with the subject, as will be
seen by the following amendment
to the constitution adopted in 1875
by an almost unani mouse vote. In
order that people abroad may not
be ignorant OF the origin of this
amendment, we may as well add
that it was proposed by republi-
can administration, and approved
by 10 less "a parsonage than the
great and good Adelbert Ames,
who will 10 down in history as the
last OF the Carpet-Bag Governors
OF mississippi.

following:

The Philadelphia Ledger says; 9Th, re
are something's which may not be generally
known TO some of our readers who do blsi-
ness at bank, the knowledge of which may
save them from vexation and possible loss.
One is that an individual or firm has no
right to make note or acceptance payable
alta bank at which they keep no account.
Should this have been done, however, and
the officers of the bank refuse to receive the
money from the makers of the note or nc
ceptance, no fault can justly be found with
them for such refusal. Banks yielding to
such requests have sometimes got into
trouble thereby, being embarrassed by irrrg-
ular endorsements, etc. A note or accept
ance made payable at a bank is liable to be
presented for payment at 10 o'clock in the
morning, and very often is so presented.
The maker of paper payable at bank is not
notified by the holder of the maturity aud
place of payment, it being assumed tha, the
maker has the knowledge already. The
maker Of note or acceptance not made
payable at bank can pay il su hour before
8 o'clock, though the earlier in the day he
does so the better It is for his credit; while
note payable at bauk ought to be provided
for at 10 O'Clock in the morning. A ch, ok
drawn by an individual cannot lawfully be
paid after information of the death of the
drawer has reached the bank on which he
check is drawn. Persons holding such
checks ought to collect them as quick as pos.
slble- otherwise they are in sense insuriug

Nearly every farmer especially those
who have plenty Of money and are no

breed of cattle. Short horns for n long time
carried the day, and are yet preferred by
many of those who originally introduced
them upon their farms. Assuredly tn "

old, for the shambles. Then followed ths

Holsteins gained considerable favor, but did
not long maintain it. Theu followed the A.

many, particularly of those who keep only
an animal or two for their private use, and
they are likely to hold their own in the fu.

superiority over all Others. Whether exper.
