The Coming Struggle.

Holly Springs Reporter.
1t is currently rumored that the
discordant political elements In this
State will come together and form
line in opposition to the demo.
cratic party in the coming cam.
paign. Ex.Gov. JAS. l.. Alcoru is
spoken of as the probable cal'di-
date for governor, aud il he should
accept the nomination, which will
likely be rendered him by this new
party, there will be a heated Cam
paign iu mississippi next fall. The
attempt will be made to draw the
greenbackers, independents and
republicans together under Que
banner, and should the scheme
take we'll there will unquestiouabiy
be u close contest. 1t is useless to
attempt to disguise the fact that a
combination ut the several ele-
ments referred to, will endanger
the success of the democratic party
in the coming election. 1t must be
plain to everybody that such a
com mbination can ouly be defeated
BY the utmost efforts Of the demo
cratic party. To defeat Alcorn'
backed by the greenbackers, indie
pendents and republicans the de-
inocracy will be forced to put q
strong ticket In the field on a broad
and liberal platform. The mere
Office seeker must be driven to thu
rear and the best Representatives
of the party called TO the front
Men must be nominated whose re
cords are stainless, aud whose ca
pacity and integrity are unques
TONED. There must be no NOR
suarling aud hRck-biting IN ou
ranks. The utmost harmony mus
prevail and tire hardest sort Q
work must be done. The demo
cratic newspaper men must worl
together IN uuity, and the demo
cratic masses, forgetting all pas
differences, stand shoulder I
shoulder.

HOW SOFTLY ON THE BRUISED
HEART.

How softly on the bruised heart
A word of kindness falls,
And to the dry and psrehed soul
The mOist'ning .tear-drop calls;
Oh, if they knew who walked the earth
Mid sorrow. grief and pain,
The power word Of kindness hath,
'Twere paradise again.
The weakest and the poorest may
The simple pittance give,
And bid delight TO withered hearts
Retura again and live;
Oh, what is life!if love be lost
II mans unkind to man
Oh, what the heaven that waits beyond
This brief aud mortal spanf
As stars upon the tranquil sea
In mimic glory shine,
So words of kindness In the heart
Reflect the source divine;
Oh, then be kind, whoe'er thou art,
That breathest mortal breath,
Aud it shall .brighten-all thy life.
And sweeten even death.

Some of our State papers are
taking a very heavy tilt at Senator

agency in procuring the right sort
OF a snccessor for Bruce. As Gov.
Stone positively refuses to call the
legislature together, that Lamar
may be .instruetedo out OF Bis

man has been found who agrees to

TWO WOMEN.

A grandma sits in her great armchair;
Balmy sweet is the soft spring air.
Through the latticed, lilac-shadowed pane
She looks to the orchard beyond the lane;
And she catches the CLEAN of a woman's
dress
As it fiutters about in the winds caress
THAT child is glad as the day is long
Her lover is coming, her LIES a song!'
Up from the orchards 1owery bloom
Floats fragrance faint to the darkening
room
Where grandma Dreams till tender grace
And softer light steal into her face.
For once again she is young and fair,
And twining roses in her hair.
Once again, blithc rs the lark above,
She is only girl and a girl in love!
She is clasped in her lovers arms again!
The last faint glimmers Of daylight die;
Stars trcmble out OF the purple sky;
Ere Dora fits up the garden path,
Sadly afraid of grandma's wrath;
With rosc-red checks and flying hair
She nestles down by the old armchair.
"Grandma, Dick says may we-may ="
The falterng voice grows strangely shy;
But grandma presses the little hand:
"Yes, my dearie, | understand!
ale may have you, darling!" Not all in vain
Did grandma dream she was young again!
She gently twists a shining curl;
All, me! the philosophy of Il girl!
"Take the worlds treasures - its noblest,
best
And love will outweigh all the rest!'
And through the easement the moonlight
cold
Streams on two heads-one gray, one gold.

Large beds of carboniferous iron.
DR. NJ. S. Meunier contends, are
contained in the interior of the earth,
and these deposits at high tempera-
lures coming in contact with water
yield hydrocarbons, which, upon sui

of carbonic acid from tho earth. This
is his method of indicating the source
OF that acid in the atmosphere.

Eating Too Much.
