The Hon. De nshame Hornet had
IA very unpleasant experience lately.
Mark Twain was advertised TO lecture
in the town of Colchester, but for
some reason failed 10 get around. In
the emergency the lecture committee
decided Ia employ NJ. Hornet 10 de-
liver his celebrated lecture on tem7
perance, but so late in the day was
this arrangement that no bills an
nouncing il could he circulated, and
the audience assembled expecting the
celebrated innocent. Nobody in the
| town knew Mark or had ever heard
| him lecture, and they had got the
notion that he was funny and Went
to the lecture prepared to laugh. Not
even these on the platform except the
chairman, knew Mr.. Hornet from
Mark Twain, and 80, when lac was
introduced, thought nothing of the
name, as they knew Mark Twain was
n nam de plume and supposed his
real name was Hornet. The de
noiiement is thus told: Mr., Iior-
net first remarked: Intemperance
Is the curse of the country. The
audience burst into Il merry laugh.
He knew II could not be at his remark
and thought his clothes must he awry,
and asked the chairman ina whisper
if he was all right, and got yes for
an answer. Then he said Rum
slays more than disease A loud
laugh. He could not understand ii,
but went on, 1T breaks up happy
homes !'-still louder mirth. 1T Is
carrying young men down To hell p
a perfect roar of applause. Mr.. Hor-
net began TO get excited He thought
they were guying him, but he pro-
ceeded: we must crush the ser
pent "a tremendous howl of laugh
ter. The men on the platform, except
the chairman, squirmed as they laugh
cd. Hornet couldn'ts tand il. What,
| am saying is gospel truth = he
cried, while the audience fairly bel
lowed with mirth. Hornet turned to
a man on the platform and said: DO
you see anything 80 very ridiculous
In my remarks or ..behavior?' Yes,
ha, ha, Goonv replied the roaring
man. This is an insult, cried Hor-
net, wildly dancing about. More
laughter and cries of go on, Twain y
And then the chairman got the idea
of the thing, and rose up and explain
ed the situation, and the man on the
stage quit laughing and blushed very
red, and the folks in the audience look
ell AT each other I'm a mighty sheepish
way and then quit laughing too. Aud
when Mr.. Hornet, thoroughly mad,
told them that he had never before
got into a town so entirely populated
by asses and idiots, and having said
that he left the hall. Aud the assem-
bly, then voted 10 ccnsure Twain and
the chairman, and dispersed amid
the deepest gloom.

HOMAGE TO JEFFERSON DAVIS.

In the feeling tribute below, which
We find in II late issue of the Memphis
Appeal, copied from the Columbus In
dex, where II originally appeared on
the ith inst, W. recognize in the in
itials "B. NJ" the graceful pen Of
Hon. Beverly Matthews, of Columbus
IL touches the chord of the Southern
heart, and is expressed in elegant
terms:
"Thc South" says Mr.. NJ, "will
owe Col. Mct'l debt of gratitude
for the fairness of his statements 10
the Northern ear throughout the col
umns of his popular and intelligent
journal of the true condition and sen-
timents of her abused and dcrided
people. Whether his utieTances will
turn out to he seed planted in gener-
Gus soil TO bear fruit now, or in the
dim aud distant future, or ever, is a
question full of skepticism. From the
crucible of politics no gold comes, and
so long rs hate of the South is needed
to secure patty domination, and num-
bers abide with the haters, so long will
the present distemper continue. All
the burnt offerings of slain bullocks
from thousand bills will never he an
appeasing sacrifice If the greed of
party be unsatisfied. That the great
leaders of the dominant party are in
capable of entombing partisanship in
patriotism Is too apparent. That
Northern sentiment through all the
intervening years since the great civil
war should continue to make of Jefier-
son Davis a one man sacrifice for the
oflenscs of the million, is piece Of
meanness which our language with all
its fiexibility and loadstone properties
is incapable Of touching TO describe.
The just and cultivated intellect Of
Col. Mcclure, while charmed by his
personal intercourse with the great
idol Of our hearts, with terseness and
vigor expresses the Northern feel
ing toward him In the language |
that he il "without country and |
without home" What Colossus
lac is 10 be dreaded thus lonely the
last single captive 10 the millions at
war" Our idolatry grows upon the
food Of their hate. His manliness will
not uncover ia their presence, and that
lends poison 10 their shafts. Hts pray
er for the general welfare-for peace
and the restoration Of the government
10 constitutional methods-is received
with derision. Solitude has no flat
terers, and yet he grows even there.
We turn 10 him aud his serene mai
esty becomes superhuman.
- y yet well thy soul hath brook'd the burn
ing tide.
With that unlaught. innate philosophy,
Which, be Il wisdom, GOODNESS or deep
pride.
Is gall and wOrmwood to an enemy.

THE NATCHEZ, JACKSON AND

Gen Martin has reason Ia bc proud
of the success which has attended him,
So far, la the prosecution of his noble
enterprise, and OF the generous sup
port which the people of Natchez have
given him, but IL seems that other
victories awaits him after his road
reaches jackson. Public opinion is
settling rapidly, in the counties
northeast ol Jackson, IN favor OF the
immediate extension of the n. j. ~
G. Railroad, as soon as com mpleted to
this city. And different D 'ints upon
the Mobile & Ohio Railrt' are anx-
ious 10 secure this important road in
ITS progress 10 Columbus.
Mr.. Thos. j. O'Nell, in "A late COM
munication 10 the Macon sun, after
urging the superiority ola Railroad con-
neclion with Columbus in preference
to one with Tuscaloosa, thus speaks

The NatcheZ, Jackson and Columbus
Railroad now under the management
of Gen'l. w. II. Martin will reach
Jackson sometime this year. Its ear

they want from Natchez and Jackson
and that section between the two cities
exactly what we we want, an eastern
outlet, n competing line of railway. 1t
is not eXtravagant to assume, that this
road may be brought to Macon via
Louisville, and here Gen. Martin con-

that this want of transportation Is one
