The poet, John G. SAKE, has be-

he is not 4 helpless invalid. Since
the death OF his wife no one can
Influence him, and accordingly he
is a Troublesome patient t0 Ills ply

III have have never encountered
moro obstinate man, says the
doctor. ale sits in his room all
day long, grieving over the loss Of
his power as a poet, aud imagining
that he is the greatest sufferer. l
cannot detect that he is sically
any worse than ATTY ono OF his age
would naturally be supposed to be.
ellis ailment Is chiefly mental,
and his mind has assumed Il most
painful hypochondrial hue. He
imagines he cannot eat anything,
vet he constimes an amount of food.
Then he thinks he Is wasting away
in flesh, but / cannot detect be is
growing any thinner, and | some-
times think he Is gaining flesh.
.He does not go out of bis room,
and cannot be coaxed or driven to
take exercise. | think if he would
take plenty of exercise, change the
scene of his daily life, and seek
companions who would divert his
mind from himself, he would re-
cover his animal spirits, aud be
more like the brilliant, witty mau
lie was. The melancholy which
stole upon him after the death Of
bis daughter was greatly enhanced
WREN he attempted to do some lite
rary work, aId found his pen fal.
tered and that his thoughts wore
weak. On The day OF the funeral
OF his daughter, Hattie Solace SAKE,
Sunday, June 8, many Of bis old
friends attended the services3 ex
pecting to catch a glimpse of him,
but he did not leave his room and
could not be induced to ride to the
cemetery. The disease which has
seized SAKE lms so cloudcd his mind
as to shut out all the pleasures o.
lie to him, aud there is 10 glimpse
in his rambling talk Of the wit ol
other days.

A great deal has been said, and

Colonel Lamar, aud his course, gen
orally. Ills vote contrary to the
instruction from the legislature
from this State, and Ills course on
down to Stanley Matthews, have
all been discussed pro and con un-
til certainly there is nothing more
to be said. We are not going to
reopen the discussion, but will
simply ask the question: Can Mis-
sissippi do without him right where
he is I OF course, should he die,
or some one else be elected In his
stead, wo would be compelled to
accept the services Of his successor,
bnt would it be policy To afIow
those acts which have been con-
demned to come between him and
the people to the extent Of defeat
