JESSE MAHAFFEY KILLED.

A dispatch from Vicksburg, under date
Of the 18th instant, says:
A fatal shooting aiIray occurred here to-
day between John Ryan and Jesse Mahat-
fey, both Of whom were largely engaged in
the lumber business. The dispute which
led to the killing was accustomed by de-
mand of settlement on the part OF Ryan.
MahaiHey closed in on Ryan, and was about
to strike him when the latter drew pistol
and fired, resulting in the killing of his
antagonist. Mahaii'y, although shot
through the forepart of the head, lived for
several hours, but died this evening, after
great pain and suffering. Ryan was ar
rested and placed in jail to await prelim-
mary trial tomorrow.
Jcsse's tragic death will shock his many
friends in this city. lie was rough, pow
erful man, and if it is true that he closed
in upon Ryan, it is probable that 1t meant
lite for life. He had amassed some prop
erty in Vicksburg during his stay there.

All! WHO CAN TELL Z?

All who can tell what waits when the veil
That hides that other life is rolled away?
Beyond the bound mysterious. what dread assail,
What lies within its shadows. who say?
What waits US there
Beyond our sight?
Hope despair
Or day or night?
Whence flies the soul when it casts off the clay?
Ah! who can tell
Our loved ones die; through mists of binding tears
In deepest gloom despairingy we grope;
Forebodingly we see the lonely years
Unlighted by their love, uucheered by hope.
All! who can tell
Where are the dead?
Will all be well
When life is fed?
Guard they our path DER ife's descending slope?
AhI who can tell
We see the ceremonial wnding-sheet,
The toll of solemn funeral bell we hear;
The last sad rites are paid, and grief complete
Fills all the heart with desolatiOn drear
The sOmbre pail.
The lonely hearth.
Can this be all
Ends life with coffin, shroud and funeral bier?
All! who can tell?
Fen while we weep, the teals that ease the heart
In rays prsmatc paint tn oerhanging skies
And new hope, of our great grief part,
In faith prophetic to the doubt replies:
Bodies must die
Death is their goal.
Lowly they lie
Not so the soul;
Col keepeth that with ever-watchful eye
All will be well.'
By sorrow proved, made pure by trials here,
The chastened heart looks upward for relief
And holds in spirit that communion dear
Which is the welspring of this sweet belief
After the strife
Cometh rest;
Eternal life
Forever blest.
The soul He gathers home, precious sheaf,
And all is well.

PAY THE PRINTER.

When the cold storms howl around the door
And you, by the light of taper,
Sit closely by the evening fire.
Enjoying the last paper,
just think of him whose work thus helps
To wear away the winter,
And put this query to yourself
Have paid the printer?
From East and West. from North and South,
From lands beyond the water,
He weekly brings you lots ofnews
From every nook and quarter;
No slave on earth tolls more than he,
Through summers heat and winter;
How can YOU for moment, then,
Neglect to pay the printer?
Your other bills you promptly pay,
Wherever you do go, sir:
The butcher for his meat is paid.
For sundries is the grocer;
The tailor and the shoemaker,
The halter and the winter,
All get their pay-then why neglect
To settle with the printer?

PROHIBIT TOBACCO.

have been interested in the matters

intended to promote. 1 notice that
somebody wishes to make the study
of the effects of alcohol upon the hui
man system. one of the required
branches in our common schools.
This would certainly be useful SUBJ

mind, but in connection with it, WHY
not include tobacco? A large num-
Der of the w. G. I. Q. and petition
ors wish to alter the proposed Con-
stitutional amendment by eradicating
cider and homemade wines. This
would really cut the dogs tail off
snug to his ears in the line proposed,
but is the use of a little apple juice,
especially when you have diseased
livers, or little currant wine cordial
when getting up from fevers, as bad
as the habitual use of tobacco by
men and boys all over the country? I
am Informed by intelligent physi-
clans that tobacco is a fruitful cause
of paralysis, and yet physicians are

same ones who introduce bills to
make the prosecution of the liquor
sellers more easy. | read of "acts
relating to public health" which are
very fine things, no doubt, and of
certain things called 'Nuisances, but
if the suppression of the intolerable
nuisance Of tobacco is not thing
which should demand the attention

virtue" who make the halls and cor
rodors of the Capitol filthy with
smoke and the effiuvium of tobacco,

bid the selling Of opium and NOR

a mortal than tobacco, let it be sup
pressed by all means. know many
who have blunted their sensibilities,
murdered their self-respect, driven
away Christianity out of their hearts
and become worshipers at the dirty
feet of the tobacco god, who were
once pure, clean boys and men.
Let us hear about anti-tobacco laws.

the tobacco user be restrained from
passing into the presence of those
whom he makes squeamish with his
filth and odor? Why not prohibit
his entrance into halls. churches and
private places not dedicated to the
use of the weed? rather meet any
thing else than a creature-called

whose mouth is filthier than his sta
BILE, and down whose chin runs the
liquid stream of contamination. [

spit on me, and manage to get that
polluting quid where l am liable to
step on it or sit upon it. Oh, if
there is anyway to subdue the tobac-
co curse, let the law-making pow
er take it in hand. Now with all their
petitions and acts, let the lawmakers

things have almost everything to do
