Our seacoast.
Democrat STAR

Democrat Star.
No part of Mississippi is as little under
stood, perhaps, as our beautiful seacoast,
and all who have visited our shore are com
pletely astonished at the grandeur of the
beautiful scenery, the lovely sunsets and
the strange and the foreign appearance of
everything with which one is brought in
contact.
The very appearance of the houses, citi-
zens and the customs of our people are for
eigu to most of our American people, and
one becomes infatuated at the first sight
Here we have the sails of all nations, to-
gether with steam tugs, ships, brigs, barks,
sloops, to say nothing of the yawls, pifogues,
double-enders and other boats that come
right to our doors, then there is the fishing
which consists in catching reddish, sheep
head, and Spanish mackerel, pOmpanoes,
throwing the cast-net for mullet, wading
around at night and gigging founders, crabs,
etc, all go to change the monotony OF life
and give zest to ones existence. The sail
ing and other sports help to kill the time
and give exercise to the mind and body and
go far towards curing the invalid and de-
yeloping the muscle.
In each and every town on our coast there
are hotels and boarding house accommoda-
tions for all who may wish to come, and a
cordial welcome is extended to all. Board
is as cheap, if not cheaper, than at the
Northern summer resorts, and here visitors
do not have to go to the expense of dressing
in the height of fashion and spend half they
have for dress before leaving home.
ANY family of ordinary means can spend
the summer on the Mississippi gulf coast
and have enough left in the fall to return
home on, whereas those who go North
would have to spend half they had before
starting in getting ready to go.
Here we have mail facilities equal to any
city in the Union. Mail trains pass each
town four times each day, giving US four
mails, and we also have telegraph offices at
each town, and in point of convenience with
the outside world the coast is unsurpassed.
There are churches Of every denomination
in each town, and every Sabbath there is
at one of the churches, and also
every Sabbath. We consid-
er that, in point of economy, convenience,
health and pleasure, there is no part of the
American continent that surpasses the Mis-
sissippi gulf coast, and that the people of
Louisiana, Alabama, and the
Southern States generally, would consult
their interest by visiting our shores instead
of going off to Northern resorts.

A Thrilling Fight for Life.
Mobile (Als.) Register. ]

Mobile (Ala.D Register.
The following are the particulars of a
struggle for life on top of moving freight
train on the Mobile and Ohio Road, on
Wednesday night: Mr.. William B. Connol-
ly went up on top of the train after dark
and found three negroes stealing a ride.
He asked them for their fare, and they re-
piled that they did not intend to pay any
thing. Mr.. @. told them il they had no
money they must either help the engineer
or get off the train. The negroes said they
would see who would get off first, and start
ed towards the engine. as if to assist the en-
gineer. From the tender one of them Sc
cured a billet Of wood and came back over
the top of the train, and while Mr.. Connol-
ly had his back turned, standing near one
of the brakes he was struck across the tenn
pie and knocked almost insensible.
Then began struggle for life on top of
the train, which was running at the rate of
thirty or thirty-fye miles an hour. The
wounded and stunned brakesman clutched
the plank walk and made a desperate re-
sistance to the three brutes, who beat and
bit his back, shoulders and neck in horri-
bic manner.
They repeatedly informed him that they
intended to kill him, and from the injuries

was their intention. They succeeded in
getting his right hand loose and bit the
thumb on that hand while they eDdeayored
to loosen hold Of the other, 50 they could
throw him of the train. After they had
beaten and bit him for some time, the
whistle was blown for State Line, and this
fact, Mr.. Connolly think. IS all that saved
his life. When the train slowed up for
State Line the negroes jumped off and es-
capped in the darkness. The wounded man
was heard groaning, and found on the top
of the train l5ing in pool of blood. He
was cared for BY the railroad attaches and
sent back to Mobile.

Henry Clay and Nine. De Stael.

| In looking over some old family papers
the other day, Gen. James Grant Wilson
came upon the following unpublished sketch,
written for a lady in March, 1929, and sent
it to the New York Tribune;
You desire, dear madam, some line of
| friendly remembrance. WHAT shall l say
You have asked me to record something of
the celebrated Nine. de Stael. She was the
most extraordinary woman OF this or any
other age, blending the philosophy Of our
sex with the Imagination of yours. She
seems to have been bestowed on our race to
vindcate the equal claim of the female
mind to intellectual excellence. | knew
this remarkable woman in Paris. / first
met her at a ball given on the occasion Of
the Peace of Ghent at the banker Hottin-
guer's. "Ahl Mr.. Clay" she said, "the
English have been much incensed against
you. have been lately pleading your
cause at London. Do you know they con-
templated at one time sending the duke of
Wellington to command their armies against

the British government had sent the duke,
"Why 2" she inquired with much surprise.
Because, madam, had we beaten the duke,
we should have gained immortal honor,
whilst we should have lost none had we been
defeated by the conqueror OF Napoleon" l
next saw Nine. De Stael at her house, where
she introduced me 20 the duke of Yelling
ton, and related to him the above cOnversa-
lion. He remarked with much apparent
feeling and grace that he should have placed
most noble feather in his cap had he beat
n so gallant people as the Americans.

The Gulf and Ship Island Il. Il.

Handsboro Advertiser.l
Col. J. s. Hamilton of Jackson, is in
Washington looking after the interests Of
the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad. Col.
Hamilton by his great industry and energy
has made a success of everything in which
he has engaged since the war. 1t is mat
ter of congratuatiOu to those who believe
that the Ship Island railroad will become n
certainty, and there are some who think so,
to know that such an able manager has
taken the subject in hand, aud matter OF
regret that the chances OF losing the lands
heretofore granted by Congress should loom
up so ominously at the present moment.
That the building of the Ship Island rail
road would be of incalculable benefit TO the
State, there is no question of doubt, and
should such active brains aud heavy purses
as took such n barren sand strip as COney
Island in New York harbor, and by aid of
railroads and piers, transported IL into
spot of immense wealth, see but for a
moment the locality of Ship Island and its
splendid harbor aud the facilities for con-
Meeting the same with the main land the
building of the road would no longer
languish, and Congressional aid would
be looked upon only as asecOndary consider
alton. We advocate that if the road Is
started from this end of the line, more progress
will be made than if started from any other
point, and should Col. Hamilton fail to
secure the anticipated benefits in Washing
ton, we hope he will not desert the enterprise,
but come down and make a survey at this
end

Poor Mems Wives.

The trouble is, none Of our young
women are willing to become poor mems
wives, professedly, even though they
may be so in reality. The girl who
marries upon 81 900 year looks for
ward to a life spent in second-rate
boarding houses from which she will
squeeze out a certain cheap domesticity
and some expensive pleasures. The
children which Heaven may send are
not thought of nor provided for.
1t is q question whether the young
wife can make herselfa dress or provide
herself a wholesome meal of victuals.
She marries for freedom, to have good
time, to spend money she neither earns,
nor helps to earn-for Heaven knows
what-but certainly not to make a COM
Portable, if humble home, for her hus-
band,
In this respect we consider the British
girl has an immense advantage over the
American. From the highest to the
lowest circles of society in Britain,
girls are trained to make good and use
full wives, inasmuch as ladies preside
over the departments of their house
hold and see that everything is kept
clean, aud the food is well cooked so
also in the lower classes mothers teach
their daughters to do the same for them
selves, without suffering any loss Of
dignity in the doing of it.
Many Of our American girls will be
surprised to learn that the Princess
Louise frequently makes her pastry
and makes it we'll, too. On one occasion,
some apricot tarts of her making b-ing
praised by a guest, the royal lady wrote
out the recipe, with the words under
lined, eff you desire to have an apricot
tart well cooked, always make it with
an upper crust |" The story has point,
and the point is that one can never
know how to do thing too well.
One of the great hindrances against
getting good wife arises from the false
basis upon which society is constructed.
The idea that equality is the peculiar
birthright Of all Americans is errone-
ous. Where every person thinks he or
she is as good as the next, there is
always the positive proof of incompe-
tency. A person is neither better nor
worse than another except in the degree
of worth which is honestly sought to
be attained. But the disposition of
Young women Of the present day (and
the sarnc may be said largely Of young
men, though perhaps not to the same
extent) is to think they are as good as
any one else. without taking the trouble
to be 50. From this erroneous belief
arises many of the evils from which
society suffers.

square basket sleigh, and perhaps Just about
as large as that. Ii is as vet simply an
| illustration OF the idea which the inventor
has got into his head. 1t is not completed,
and will not be for several months vet, be-
cause Mr.. Sheldon will not have enough
time to complete it. He has been employed
upon it thus far about three months, and
has received no assistance whatever In
the absence of Mr. Sheldon, his wife made
slight attempt to explain the workings.
These what you see here is what my
husband intends for the legs" began the in
ventor's wife, and she pointed to two long
sticks on either side of the machine that
ran up from the bottom of the skeleton
walking machine. "rhese legs will work
just the same as anybody's legs" continued
the woman, and she grabbed hold OF a lever
on one side of the machine and put into
motion what is considered by the inventor
the propelling power of the machine
"Now you see, said the woman, as she
pointed to the legs, "that leg there raises up
and the other goes down
JUST THE SAME AS AN INDIVIDUALS.
This lever works both pairs of legs at the
same time, and while there is leg down on
one side another one is down on the other.
That balances the machine. Now look
back quick" added the woman, and she
gave the lever another pull. The four legs
or two pairs were once more set in motion.
There" began the speaker, "don't you see
that just as soou as one leg on each side is
on the ground the other two are in the air,
and as soon as the two which are resting on
the ground bearing the machine up have
remained there just such a length Of time
they go into the air and the other two do
similar service"
at is the intention Of my husband to
have feet on the legs somewhat similar to
those of an elephant. They will be made
smaller, of course, and quite fat"
This was about the extent Of the informa-
tion the woman could give for the promi-
nent part the legs were to play in the
walking machine.

Alabama's Next Governor.
GEN. EDWARD AsHBURY o'NEAL, THE CAN.
DIDATE OF THE ALABAMA DEMOCRACY.


Mobile Register.1
Gen. E. A. O'Neal was yesterday nomi-
mated by acclamation, upon the twenty
fourth ballot, by the Democratic State Con-
vention as their candidate for Governor of
Alabama. This result, in the face Of the
very handsome vote polled by each of his
competitors on the previous evening, is a
graceful tribute to the worth of distin-
guished citizen who has done most gallant
service for his State, both in peace and war.
Gen. O'Neal is true man in every sense of
the word. He was stubborn, intelligent
and dashing officer. He has been long con-
spicuous as an eloquent advocate and
politician. lie has been pre-eminent in his
devotion and labors for the Democratic
party. Better than ALL he is a gentleman
of unblemished private life, and possesses
the confidence and affection of all who know
him. In the Convention which nominated
Kim there were delegates attached to other
candidates by ties of locality, personal
friendship or personal obligations, but there
were none who were hostile to Gen. O'Neal,
and none who do not cordially indorse his
nomination.
Gen. O'Neal is descended from South
Carolina family of Irish extraction. He
was born in Madison county, and has resided
at Florence since 1910. In 1841 he was
elected State Solicitor. In 1849 he was an
unsuccessful candidate for Congress. In
1861 he was elected Captain of one of the
companies which composed the Ninth Ala
bama, at the organization ofwhich regiment
he was elected Major, and was promoted
Lieutenant Colonel little later. In March,
1862, he was appointed Colonel of the Twen
ty-sixth, aud led this gallant regiment in
the battles of the Peninsulaand in front of
Richmond. Upon the first march into Mary
land he commanded Rhodes brigade. He
was wounded at Seven Pines and at Boons-
boro. He distinguished himself at Chan
cellorsville, Gettysburg and Mine Run.
