H Hon. Albert Gallatin Brown, eN-
Governor of Mississippi, was drowned on
the evening of Saturday the 18th
inst, in horse pond near his residence
in Kinds county in that State. The ex-
act facts connected with the accident
are unknown, but it is supposed that he
was attacked with apopleNy while water
ing his horse and no one being near to
assist bin, met his sad demise in this
manner. The water was not over three
feet deep. Gov. Brown was respected for
his moral and social virtues as well for
his political sagacity and devotion to his
State and section. He was elected to
the Legislature before he attained his
majority; Circuit Judge and Governor
both before he was thirty, closed his bril-
liant political career when he resigned
his position in the United States Senate
to take up his sword for tue Confedera-
cy. With the close of the war he retired
t his farm and although repeatedly call
ed on since, has uniformly decliued po-
litical honors. His remains were con-
veyed to the Capital and lay in state I'M
Ill the IA when they were inferred from
st. Andrews Church. All business
houses were closed and large concourse
of citizens followed the honored ashes to
the tomb.

HALLS Hair Remover. We remember
many cases in our midst of old and mid
die aged people who formerly wore gray
hair, or whose locks were tLin and faded,
but who now have presentable head
pieces, and with no little pride announce
to their friends that they haven't gray
hair in their leads. 1t is a pardonable
pride, and the world would he better OFT,
if there was more of it, for when the aged
make themselves attractive to others they
are more certain to win and retain the
esteem and respect to which burthen of

sun that rose in the morning from beyond
Damascus and Palmyra shone on Jerusalem
while it ripened them. The soil from which
they rose is dust of Egyptian soldiers, OF Sesos,

pursuing Macedonians When the smoke
rises from it you can see wonderful shapes and
shades, that go floating among the rafters OF
the cabin crowding one another, till, unless
you have gotten used to them, you Will begin
to think of going into the less uncanny and
more familiar society of the woods and stars.
You don't know what treasures are packed, Tor
thoughtful smokers, in every bale OF that TO-
bacco. Each bunch OF those leaves, IN which
history, imagination and enjoyment are con-
densed as in few printed leaves, are chosen
carefully by a SON of Ishnael, and mingled as
he knew his friends taste, with the Koranee
which gives life and force to the shapes and
shadows born OF the burning Latakia. He lNs
sent me many small bales of those leaves. and
from time to time have given them away or
burned them to call up the spirits. They re-
mind me- too, of him, and of the many times

1t is no light business my friend, when a
man is growing old with his pipe for COM
panion, to hurl at him a lot of your inanities
about his bad habits. You, who do it, must be
well assured that you are in sound mind and
senses before you enter his house with your
notions, your ideas of right and wrong, your
nasal perceptions and Alterations. If you
prefer in crowded rail cars and public places to
breathe hot, feversh breath, foul with the
smell of all kinds of food and with diseases
from all sorts of lungs, possibly others may
prefer he breath purified by smoking some
herb. In countries where smoking is allowed
in some and prohibited in other public car
riages it is Notorious that nine-tenths of trav-
ellers, ladies as we'll as gentlemen, prefer to
ride where smoking is allowed. Be sensible
then, and don't subject yourself to reasona-
BILE charge that you are a mere public nuisance
yourself with your constant iteration of your
personal dislikes, and your everlasting project
ing of your name into public notice. Contend
as much as you please that men and women
who use perfumes, who eat garlic, who per-
spire in hot work, who smoke tobacco, or who
erwise make themselves perceptible to other
peoples noses. Thas has nothing to do with
the propriety of eating garlic or smoking to-
bacco in quiet homes like Lonesome lake
cabin.
1t is SO complete puzzle to know what it
is which worries the soul of the man who
writes savage abuse of tobacco-smoking, that
we who would gladly relieve him, are unable
to afford him any consolation.
