HOW THE WIND BLOWS.

One night little Annie kept watching tht
clock,
Watching and waiting for some one to knock
But when Willy stood ON the kitchen floor.
She was far more busy than ever before.
She had not a moment in which to talk,
And she did not care for a moonlight walk;
The milk was to strain, little Annie said,
And the yeast 20 set for to-morrows bread.
But Love is so bliHd, and Will wouldn't see
That Annie was cold as a girl could be;
He had come to WOO, and he wished to stay
Though Annie was wishing him far away.
So he fingered on till young Robin came;
Little Annie blushed when she heard his
name
She glanced at him oft with kindly eye.
As she cheerfully hurried with hands and feet,
She asked him after his sheep and his wheat ;
And mauv and sweet were the words she said
As she strained the milk and leaveued the
bread.
Then Willy saw things in clearer light;
tie watched them awhile, and said; Good
night; =
For well he knew that feather viii show
A sensible man how the wind doth blow
He said to himself so, girl will tell
By aglance or a step, if she loves you we'll
A glance or a step, ii man isn't blind,
Is the straw in the wind of a woman's mind"
And in life, as in love, tits the same, say
Irites hold the key, and they point the way !;
For feather viii show what wind doth blow.
Or a straw, if the tide doth ebb or flow.

CHICAGO JOURNAL: Now comes the tug
of war in the Star-Ioute trials. The case of
the defense has become so desperate during
the taking of testimony for the prosecution
that, their witnesses now being called, they
will. call upon ali their friends for help,
and will summon 'cloud of witnesses,
principally Congressman, active politicians
and loot-seek:ng adventures, who recon-
mended an increase of the mail route service.
By this testimony it is hoped to convince
the jury that the conspiracy to defraud the
Government was, in fact, too big and
widespread for the officers to undertake the
punishment of the perpetrators. 1t is pos
sible that some ex-members of Congress
will refuse to testify on the ground that a
witness is not bound to criminate himself

A Witty Door.Keeper.

Andrew jackson was an irritable man,
and in his heats of passion often made
both his enemies and his friends suffer.
He would bear much, however, from a
humble favorite, whom he seemed to
think it beneath him to punish and he
was never proof against a servants wit.
One case in point is related as follows i.
When jackson was President, Jimmy
ONeill, the Irish doorkeeper of the
White House, was marked character.
lie had his foibles, which often offended
the fastidiousness of the Presidents
nephew and secretary, Major Donelson,
who more than once caused his dismissal.
But on appeal to the higher court the
verdict was always reversed by the good
old general.
Once, however, Jimmy was guilty of
some fragrant offence, and being sum-
moned before the President himself, was
thus addressed:
Jimmy, / have horne with you for
years, in spite of all complaints; but
this goes beyond my powers Of en-
durance."
And do you believe the story :" asked
Jimmy.
Certainly" answered the general.
II have just heard it from two sena-
tors"
Faith retorted Jimmy, IF l be-
ieved all that twenty senators said about
you, its little I'd think you was fit to be
President.
.Pshaw, Jimmy" concluded the gem
eral, .'clear out and 60 back to your
duty. but be more careful in future"
Jimmy not only retained his place to
the end of Jackson's presidential term,
bHt accompanied him back to the Her
mitage, and was with him to the day Of
his death.

Machinery for the South.

Machinery is going down South at great
rate. A North Carolina paper says: "With
the present year is inaugurated new era in
the South, if we are to judge by the magni-
tude of the new manufacturing enterprises
that are springing up all over the land.
Old mills have been revived and hundreds
of new ones age already built or are in the
course of building. During the month of
June twenty-five carloads of machinery
were shipped from Boston to points in the
South, over the Richmond and Danyille
railroad, distributed as follows Fourteen
carloads for Pelzer, s. c.; six for Concord,
N. c.; one for Kicker, n. c., and one for
Clifton, s. @. This is the shipment of ma
chinery for one month alone, and though it
may be considered pretty fair showing, it is
nothing at all compared TO what is to come.
The Boston machine shops have notified the
Southern transportation lines that they are
now working to fill orders for three hundred
of machinery, all of which is to be
delivered at the mills in the South by early
fall. In bringing the mills to the cotton the
South has at last struck the keynote to
prosperity"

Southern Progress.

More than any other paper in Eng
land, the London Times is the organ of
public opinion in that country. 1t is
an English institution which has attain
ed unexampled success, a moulder of
public policy and an indication of pub
lie thought. The highest order of
craftsmanship is displayed in its
columns. 1t is too rich to be bought !;
and too independent to be controlled
except by its own convictions of right
and duty. From this world-renowned
journal We have copied some extracts
setting forth the marvellous recupera-
tion and development of the South since
the deluge of the war which swept away
billions of her property and every de-
partment of her industry; and con-
signed to their graves many of the pick
and flower of her manhood. To add to
these calamities, she was harassed,
plundered and humiliated by the most
oppressive laws. The statement of the
Times is drawn by an impartial hand
and is replete with inspiration and
hope to the people of the South. The
next decade will exhibit far stronger
evidences of progress. They have
learned to keep step to the music of
and like the tabled giant,
they have renewed their strength by |
contact with mother Earth.

Sc californla Glrls on Tramp.

Redwood City (Col) Journal, June %.
There passed through Redwood City on
Monday of last week a party of Oakland
ladies on tramp. They numbered six and
were all robust, good looking, full oil life and
energy, and bent on frolic. Dressed in
uniform style of walking habit, slightly
shorter than the prevailing fashion, made of
excellent and durable linen, plain but pretty
hats, easy shoes with high ankles for dust,
they were the personifcation of comfort.
Each bore knapsack upon her back, soldier
style, and was armed with revolver and
large bowie-knife. Their trip is to take in
the Southern coast counties. Some nights
they camp out, and others they pass at
hotels as humor or convenience may happen.
With no baggage or equipments, except
what each carried on her person, this might
be called another charge of the Light Brig
ade. They left Oakland yesterday morning.
and after crossing the bag on the ferry, trotted
to Menlo Park as their first feat. The next
day brought them to Searsville, where the
night was passed in friendly barn

Letter from J. S. Sexton Esq, Chair
man County Executive Committee.

EDITORS CoPIAHAN: l notice in a cir
cular addressed to the Democratic voters OF
Copiah county the following charges which
are calculated to do me an injustice:
lst. "The Chairman Of the Democratic
Exy cutive Committee, without consulting
the other members Of said Committe, issued
the call for this convention On his own
authority, and did not give the precincts
sufficient time to hold their meetings and
send up their delegates"
End. THAT owing to the short notice
to the people from the Chairman to hold
their precinct meetings to send delegates to
the County Convention, only nine precincts
out of twenty-one held any meeting"
[ am assured by these gentlemen that
they did not intend to reflect upon me in
any way and therefore have no comment
to make upon the above remarks further
than to state the facts.
The Congressional Executive Committee
for the Democratic party, met at Jackson,
and adopted the following resolutions which
was sent to the chairman of each Executive
Committee of the various counties.
Resolved, That each county in this Con-
gressional district be requested to send dele
gates to the District Convention called by
this Committee, and that the Chairman of
the various County Democratic Executive
Committee be requested to take the neces-
sary steps to that end.
In accordance with the above directions,
/ gave notice of the precinct meetings in the
first issue of the Signal and the COpiahan,
and the notice appeared in each of the pa
pers in two issues. So much for the short
notice complained of. As to consulting the
other members of the committee, the above
resolution, in view of the short time be-
tween the meeting of the Congressional
Executive Committee, gave the chairman of
the county Executive Committee the power
to act in the premises, and / had been in
structed by the Executive Committee of the
County to act in all emergencies, and they
would ratify my acts which they now do.
So much for that subterfuge.
1t is not my province to speak of the Con-
vention further than my own connection
with it. saw fit to favor one of the aspi-
rants in preference to the other, and did So
without demonstration for the one or de-
traction from the other, and would willingly
sacrifice my choice if necessary for the har-
mony of the party, as consider the public
good Of more Importance than the aspira-
tions. of one individual.
