!M.ORFaNT 1G MAGISTRATES.

For the benefit of the Justices of
The Peace who may be in doubt as
to their criminal Jurisdiction, we
publish letter from Judge Richard

ny TO writing, commit and forward

GENERAL PRESS REVIEW.

The st. Louis Globe-D Democrat, the venal
scavenger cart of the republican party in
the south, with its usual promptness and
malignity, seizes upon the Mississippi demo-
cratic convention, just adjourned, and the
platform enunciated by it, as text tor its
abuse of the people of that state, and for the
retailing of some of its malicious ISLANDERS.
There is no doubt but that republican
committee of congress will report all man
ner of outrages in Mississippi, If 1t have an
opportunity to do so, and the Globe-Demo-
crai might as well 70 10 work ana prepare
and publish report beforehand for IT,
Such sreport would be just as reliable, just
ass honest as any such a committee can or
will report. The Globe,Democrat can rea'
assured that the south will always be solid
against the republicsnism of its advocacy,
because the south will always be solid in ia
yor of honor and decency and the Globe :
Democrat can never comprehend or sppreci
ale such sentiments. The Globe-Democrat
says:

PcriIs Of Paper Bags as Busties'
Washington Capital.


rha,e IA a woman in the west end who has
learned a lesson that will last her o lifetime
She has be- n for years wearing these paper
bags, such as the grocers use, for bus'lea
The paper is stiff, sticks cut splendid, and
makes the dress look wei. Last Sunday
morning, while she was dressing her young
est son got in the room al, ~ the paper
bag full of wind and tied string around the
mouth of it, end left it in chair. The good
lady took ii and tied it on and dressed her
elf for church. She bribed her husband tt

down the aisle the minister was read
ing HYMN about "Sounding the Loud no,
sanna," and the lady went in the pew nrs'
and sat down while her husband was putting
his hat on the floor. There was report like
distant thunder. You have heard how tnose
COMPOUNDED papers exploded when boys Dlow
them up and crush them between sne'i
hands.
Well, it was worse than that, and everybo'
DIV looked at the innocent husband, VINO was
standing there perfect picture OF amsze-
ment. he looked al his wife as much as 10 70,
saw, "Now, this is tho last time. you Will
catch me in church if you are going to play
any of your tricks Cd me. You think you can
scare me into getting religion" The minis,
ter stopped reading the hymn, and looked
over his spectacles at the newcomers as
though it would not surprise him if that bad
man should blow the church up. The poor
lady FLUSHED and turned around az much as
to iay, II did not know it was loaded" and
she looked the hymnbook through for the
hymn, and as the choir rose to sing. she OF
fered one side of the book to her husband
but he looked mad and pious, and stood q,
the other end OF the pew and looked out o,
the stained glass window.
After the service they Started home togeth'

said he didn't know what 1t was that made
the noise until they got home. and after
little skirmishing around his wife held up
busted Paper bag and asked the boy If he
blew thst bag up. He said he did, but ht
did not know there was anything wrong
about if. The boy and his mother and
press boa,d paid visit to the back kitchen
and there was sound OF revelry. Boys VIII
