The following truthful aud CON-
plimentary article which we nnd in

ily endorsed by the Democrat
STAR:
Mississippi has one senator uPoe
whom all parts OF the State can re-
ly under any circumstances faith
fully to represent their interests
aud advocate their wants. He
makes no special show aud does
not pose for effect bnt he works
With all the immense workpower In
him. HIS name stands at the head
of this article. Gen. George has
more uniformly represented tue
wishes of his constituents than any
other senator the State has ever
had with the exception OF Jefferson
Davis. His services to the State
before his election were immense.
1t was to his indefatigable indus
try, uptiring zeal and wonderful
genius for organization more than
to any other cause that the demo
cratic party owes the victory which
redeemed the State IRON the re-
gime of force and fraud. YeG this
without hope of mere personal re-
ward, for when the election OF a
democratic senator became posi-
ble aud the name OF George was
placed in nomination aud u MAORI.
ty coul.l not be secured in cauens,
he withdrew in favor Of bis present
colleague. Senator George is un.
questionably one OF the ablest AMI
most profound constitutional law.
yers In the senate, and takes high
er rank every day, while 40 an an-
thority on Mississippi law his name
has become inseparable from the
jurisprudence of the State.
He is even now fighting for the
National Board Ut Health, and but
yesterday made 4 speech in favor
Of the repeal Of duties on all
machinery for the manufacture OF
cotton aud WOODEN goods. The
General does not lose anything 10
our estimation BY being u "bour'
bon," rs q man OF decided princi'
pies aud a frank and pronounced
way of maintaining them is some
times thoughtlessly called.

know il would not be proper for
your paper TO publish = religious
discussion nor would it be well for
you to publish an attack on Christi
anity, yet l would like to make
some eBquiries and suggestions.
Permit me to say In the frst place,
that l am neither heather or iufdel.
Since coming on your beautiful
coast I fnd that the many little
towns all along the liue of the rail
road aud near to it, either one OF
which could support one able and
talented minister. My enquiry is
why do not they do 1t instead of
halt.starviug from two to six minis
tiers of less abilityi They all claim
the Bible as the rule aud guide OF
their faith, aud that they all obey
tho same Master who said ga house
devided against itself shall iall.'
Now they very ofteu invite minis
ters of different denominations to
preach temporarily in church
houses aud for churches not the
same denomination as the minister,
and rs u principle cannot he de-
vided, why not do so all the timei
In this way one minister In each
town could be well supported aud
could give his whole time to that
one community and would save the
expenses Of running around 10
much. The expenses to each com.
munity would be reduced more
than fifty per ccut., as they would
want only one church house aud
Que parsonage, besides saving 4
great deal m other expenses.
We never hear of but one Masonic
or Odd Fellows lodge in a small
town, and the question will arise in
the mind of thinking men "should
not the followers of Ohrist be al
united as the followers of these
mers human institutions.n
will close by assuring your read
srs that | am no enemy to th'
Christian religion, but ouly ask tol
Con sIsTENcy.

Eight clergyman preached am-
ultaneously in the Eastern peniten.
tiary, Philadelphia, last Sunday, to
Invisible audiences. This prison is
conducted on the principle of soli-
tary confinement. Each prisoner
has his own lonely cell. These
cells open on eight corridors, radi-
ating from an octagonal centre.
The preachers stood at the outer
ends OF the corridors, and could be
heard by the occupants of the cells
in their several sections. A group
of officials and reporters in the
middle of the prison experienced
the novel sensation of listening to
eight sermons at once.

They Rugged Him.

Two sprightly and beautiful
Young ladies we're visiting their
cousin, another sprightly and
beautifnl young lady, who, Ike her
gass,s, was OF that happy age that
turns everything into fun and mer-
riment. They were fond of practi-
cal Jokes, aud were constantly
playing all sorts of pranks with
each other. All three occupied o
room on the ground floor, aud cud-
died up together 10 bed.
Two of the young ladies attend
ed q party, and did not get home
until 1l:30 o'clock at night. As IL
was late they concluded not to dis
turb the household, so they quietly
stepped into their room through
the low, open window.
In about halt an hour after they
had left for the party a young
Methodist minister called at the
house where they were staying aud
craved a nights lodging, which Of
course WAS granted. AS ministers
always have the best OF everything,
the old lady put him to sleep in the
best room, and the young lady
(Fannie) who had not gone to the
party, was entrusted to the duty OF
sitting up for the absent ones and
OF informing then Of the change OF
rooms. She took up her post in
the parlor, and, as the night was
sultry, she departed on an excur-
sion to the land of dreams.
We will now return to the young
ladies who had gone to their room
through the window. by the dim
light Of the moonbeams, as they
struggled throug the curtains, the
young ladies were enabled to descry
the outlines Of Fannie (as they sup.
posed) enscopced In the middtc'of
the bed. They saw more-to wM:
a pair Of boots. The truth flashed
upon them at once. They saw 1t all.
Fannie had set them in the room
10 give them a good scare. They
put their heads together and de-
termined to turn the tables on her.
Silently they disrobed and, Stealth.
ly as cats, they took mp their posi-.
tions on either si,le of the bed. At
u given signal they both jumped
into the bed, one on each side ot
the unconscious parson, laughing
and screaming, "Oh, what a man
Oh, what man n They gave the
poor, bewil,lcred minister such n
promiscuous hugging aud tussling
as few persons are able to brag OF
in the course of n lifetime.
The noise ofthc procce lings awoke
the o'd lady, who was sleeping in
an adjoining room. Sue c0mpre'
hcnded the situation IN q moment
land, rushing TO the room, she open
ed the door and exclaimed:
"Gracious, girls, 1t is u man. II
is a man, sure enough n
There was one prolor ged, con.
solidated scream, a fash Of muslin
through Che door, aud all was
lover.
The best of the joke is that tn.
minister took the whole thing il
earnest. He would listen to nc
apologies the old lady could make
tor the girls. He would hear nc
excuse, but solcmnly folded his off
cial robes about him and silently
glided away.
