Brookhaven Ledger.

Brookhaven Ledger.
The negroes of Warren county
have learned the Democrats q good
lesson, not to beg again. Some
days since the De mocrats of that
county held q meeting aud. ap-
pointed q committee to confer with
the Republicans-that means ne
groes---and propose o fusion ticket,
q division Of the offices. The Re-
publicans held . meeting iu Vicks-
burg on the 22d inst, and refused
the proposition of the Democrats.
They think they can elect all the
county officers and are not willing
to divide. Now the Democrats
should make up their minds that
the Republicans shall elect none Of
the officers. When the Democrats
resolve to succeed, they can al
ways do it. In the approaching
campaign every white man who
goes of with the negroes should
be treated with no more respect
than they are shown. Those who
are willing to desert the Democracy
for a few crumbs have no principle,
and must he made to know that
they and their negro cohorts can.
not rule Mississippi. That day is
over.

The cisterns and ponds are dry,
and drinking water for man and

has paid better than cotton, and
has been depended on for summer
money.
Jackson looked dull, dry and

of Mr.. Fleet Cooper are fearful that
death stands at his door. He dies

say October or November, the road
is expected to reach Pearl river,

Those who engage In the traffic
do not do 50 because they feel that
it is beneficial 70 the good morals,
temporal prosperity, and well being
Of the souls and bodies Of men. No
man will say that be believes such a
thing. The State in granting IL
cense to sell the article, does not
believe that she Is enhancing the
well-being Of her children, but she
does believe that her children are
being poisoned in consequences OF
it. Let as all arise and ask our
mother to stay the tide OF wretch.

Us, and she will do it.

A paragraph Is going the rounds
Of the press to the effect that Gen.
Lowry's wife learned him to read.
Were that true, it would simply
shoY that he was . very remarka-
blesman, as no is now considered
one Of the best lawyers In she
State, an able and forcible stump
speaker, aud gentleman Of polishs
ed and courtly manners. But, ,sfor
the information of those who have
not the pleasure of bis acquain-
tance, we will state that, at the
age Of fifteen years, he was the
bookkeeper Of his uncle, Judge
Lowry, who at that time, did the
largest mercantile business in the
county in which he lived. The
General wns not married at that
time, and keeping books for a large
mercantile house without knowing
how to read is something unheard
of before.

SPONGEs.


New Nork Sun.
The. best sponges are the best
American sponges. They come
from the West Indies aud the ex.
tremity Of Florida. But they are
not suflisient to supply the demand
in the United States alone, and so
sponges are imported from the
Mediterranean also. What is said
TO be the largest American sponges
ever found in the West Indies or
anyw here else is in glass case be.
fore the store of William street
dealer. It is about two teet in di.
ameter, and is said to measure
eight feet in circumference when
full Of water. Many of the West
Iudian sponges are imported from
New York to London, Paris, Ger
many and Holland. They are cs-
pecially useful for washing car.
riages and for similar purposes.
Common bath sp0nges are usually
from the Mediterranean, and Sy.
rian sponges are the kind used in
hospitals and by surgeons.
There are two ways Of fishing for
sponges. Clear water is necessary
| to the work, and sometimes a tub
like frame and magnifying leus is
lowered into the seas to aid in dis.
covering the beds Of sponge. The
sponges lie from twenty to forty
feet deep, aud iu the Mediterranean
sea divers 90 down from boats and
separate the sponges from the
rocks. OF the Florida coast aud
in the West Indies rakes are
dragged over the bottom aud the
loosencd sp0nges come to the sur
face and are gathered. Agents
| for dealers In New York buy the
sponges from the pickers in Key
West aud Nassau, dry aud clean
| them and send them North In bales,
from ten to forty at a time. The
Florida supply is growing smaller
year by year, aud prices are accord
ingly higher. European sponges
come 20 to 200 bales at q time'
They, too, are scarce this year
Tho demand is always good.
Spouges are sold by the pound,
and the best spouges are those
which are heaviest in proportion to
their size. The small sponges sold

Of any service. There arc from
forty to sixty of them in a pound,

tration as superintendent of the
Mobile division of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad. The large
increase in passenger trafic, on
what may justly be termed the
Great Coast line, has been due,
in the main, to Mr.. Harahan's
wise and accommodating policy
toward the public. Experienced
in railroad affairs, and being q man
of practical ideas, this excellent
officer had no sooner become sup
erintendent of the Mobile division
than he set to work to put 1t in
thorough repair, and 1t is now one
Of the best lines in the United
States. Mr.. Harahan took no lit.
tie pains to ascertain what i'm.
provements could be made in the
interests of the travelling public,
both coastwise and through. he
has done everything possible to
insure the safety aud comfort oi
passengers. Always ready to heal
and investigate complaints, aud
remove their source, he has become
one of the most popular railroad
| officials ever connected with auy
line running out of New Orleans
and has added largely to the bust
ness Of the road. He contemplated
other improvements aud changes
likely to please the public, which
will be carried out In due time.

Hot is the irc of August's sun.
And the sky is hazed with cloudlets
spun;
Airy fguresof the mind do rise,
Aud softly tread the azure skies.
Bee yon picture of days gone by
The stream, tho wood, the mountains
high,
The little church in tress so green,
Only glinpses Of its walls are seen.
The old mill with its great high wheel
Dashing spray like glittering steel,
The mossy banks, the pearly shsll,
The silver pebble, aud woodland dell,
The scene is changed and the splashins
wave,
The shining sands increasingly lave,
Billow on billow rush to the shore
In mimic warfare do ssllenly roar.
Suddenly like fash Of light
Nature seemed changed to dark, dark
night,
The myriad stars in the heavens blaze,
Aud cities are wrapt in inky haze.
All nature seems locked In the arms Of
sleep
