The Magnolia gazette. [volume] (Magnolia, Miss.) 1872-current, 1881-05-13

THE Times, Of Natal, contains nm ac-
count, obtained from native sources by
Mr.. Osborn, the British resident in Zu
luland, Of the memorable disaster at
Isandlana. The description Of the stand
made by "the last man is full Of pathos:
Gle struggled on and on, retreating
higher and higher up in the hill, till he
reached small cave or recess III the
rocks, into which he crept, and with his
gun kept off the enemies. The ground
in front Of the little cave (Which was
pointed out to mel falls sleepily down,
and the Zulus, taking advantage OF the
rocks and stones scattered about, en-
eeayored, two or three at time, TO APP
proach and shoot him. The soldier,
however, was very cool and wary, and
invariably shot every Zulu as he APP
peared. He did not blaze away hurried
iy, but loaded quickly, took deliberate
aim, and killed man with every shot,
till at last, the Zulus now very tired, q
number Of men, good shots, were brought
up with guns, who fired simultaneously
at the unfortunate man, and so killed
him -

GIVING AND LIVING


Forever the sun Is pouring its gold
On hundred worlds that beg and borrow:
His warmth he squanders on summits cold
His wealth on the homes Of want and sorrow,
10 withhold his largess of precious light
Is to bury himself in eternal night.
To give
Is to live.
The flower shines not for itself at all
It's joy is the Joy it freely diffuses;
Of beauty and balm IL il prodiRal
And it lives in the light it freely loses
No choice for the rose but glory OF doom,
10 exhale or smother, to wither or bloom.
To DENY
Is to die
The seas lend silyery rays 10 the land,
he land Its sapphire stream to the ocean;
Ihe heart sends blood TO the brain Of command
The brain to the heart its lightning motion;
And over and over we yield our breath,
I'LL the mirror is dry and image Is death.
To live
Is to give
He is dead NhoRo hand is not open wide
To help the need Of human brother:
lie doubles the length Of his life-long ride
Who giyos his fortunate place to another;
And thousand million lives nrehls
Who carries the world III his sympathies.
TO deny
Is to die.

GOVERNOR FOSTER.
The Prospects of His RenOmIna-
tiOn.

A special despatch from Cincinnati
Ohio, says: There is every indication
that this county will send to the Re
publican State Convention, which as
sembles in Cleveland on June 8, a solid
Foster delegation. The little breeze OF
opposition which made itself heard in
some parts Of the State last week had
no appreciable strength here. 1t was
famed by the temperance people who
We're recently in convention ut Column
bus, and gave ont that they would not
support an anti-temperance candidate
for office on either ticket. Gov. Foster
was ClasSed by some as anti-temperance
for the reason that he had the sagacity
to see that the passage of what was
known as the Pond bill by the last Leg
isIature would defeat the Republicans
in this county at the tall election, and
without Hamilton county the State
could not be carried. This conviction
Gov. Foster expressed in quarters
where it did good, and the defeat of the
bill was consequently laid at his door.
The talk of last week was, therefore,
nothing less than a proposition to defeat
the man who had served the party. 1t
naturally found few adherents here,
where the wisdom of the governor 5
action was understood. Dispatches
from the interior of the State represent
that it is now rapidly dying ont in
quarters where it had the most strength
and the expectation among the Repub-
lican leaders now is, that Foster will be
gwen nomination for reelection by a
vote of the convention.

A GREAT many of our merchants ex
press themselves astonished to find that
there is Regulator Of weights and
measures in New Castle county, and
that once year at least he is required
by law to go around and see that the
weights and measures are correct. There
is not one merchant out of twenty who
has had weights and measures regulated
for number of years and two thirds of
them do not know that such an officer
as Regulator Of weights and measures
exists. From a communication in anoth-
er column it will be seen that one of our
of thirteen years standing,
never knew of such an officer, and we
presume there are hundreds just like
him. If Mr.. Vasey would take the |
trouble TO come to Wilmington now |
and announce his coming, not on q bar
room poster, but in live newspaper,he
will find hundreds of merchants glad
% see him. We would suggest that
even a salary of SIP would pay him
or making one extra trip to Whining
on. Mr.. Vasey our merchants want to
see you.

Agricultural Depression in Eng.
land.

The English Squire is suffering almost
as severely from the agricultural de-
preston as the Irish landlord from ag-
rarianism. In Lincolnshire farms NAV
be secured rent free by any tenant who
will pay the taxes, and in Norfolk, Suf
folk, BedfOrdshire, Essex, Oxfordshire
anC other counties noted for high farm
ing" rents have fallen from 20 to 70 Der
cent. In North Wiltshire an estate en-
bracing farms of total area of 12,5OO
acres, is unoccupied, although the owner
etfrrs a reduction of 80 per cent. in the
rents. While it is difficult to find ten
ants it is more difficult to find purchasers
Retired merchants ana old East Indians
who in the halcyon days hungered for
land and were ready to pay any price
for an estate, now prefer to buy Consuls,
for when a measure like the Irish Land
bill is read second time by majority
of nearly 200 there is no security for the
English Squire. Many landowners
who are nominally in receipt of large
incomes find it difficult, after providing
for Jointures and mortgages, to make
both ends meet, and the strictest econ.
omy is necessary to prevent them from
mourning further membranes. The
tale of the depression is mournfully
told by the rows of empty "season
houses" in the West End.-W

THE BAILOTTING For Senators in
the New York Legislature yesterday
brought very cold comfort to ex Senator
Conkling and his man Platt. The vote
still stands for Conkling at "a without
the power of increasing it while the op-
position seems to be gradually concen-
trating on Chauncey M. Depew and
Governor Cornell as their successors,
At any rate it is very clearly evident
that the two eX-Senators cannot succeed
themselves unless the Legi stature is for
ce1 to choose between them and two
Democrats. 1T is well enough to remand
Mr. Conkling back to the private ranks
of the party until he learns that the will
Of the people is paramount to the selfish

SURPRISING CLOTHES.

Let nobody make the mistake of supposing
that one out of ten Of the good things we make
gets into the papers, We wish we could put them
all there. You wouldn't read. We don't dare,
Only here and there one.
Nothing is more surprising than good clothes
tor SO little as $40 suit We actually have them.
1t isn't best to make great variety of such. We
have just seven sorts. One is light-gray dag
onal, one is bronzish, two are mixed plaids of red
blue and black, one is a small check of gray and
brown, one of gray and black, and one of blue
flannel (The latter with white vest makes
G. A. r. suit at So.25)
Now, you know, these can't be of fine wool,
nor luxurously made. Not one cent is put into
them for show. They are serviceable, and that is
saying good deal. You shall Judge whether
they are neat.
Whatever you buy look it over carefully and
bring it back, if you've not chosen wisely; bring
it back before it's worn.
