was observed in Phoebe by the hosting
of flags and the closing of the bank and
express office. In the evening social
Gathering was held by our citizens at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Filler,
Oh McCannon street, and for brilliancy
and pleasure, has never been surpassed
by any entertainment heretofore given at
private residence in the metropolis of
Lincoln county, and everything was as
merry and gay. The amusements of the
evening consisted of singing, recitation
and dancing, principally the latter. Mr..
and Mrs. DIR. Matthews added much to
the pleasure of the evening by their music
and songs. ''The Larboard Watch" was
very handsomely executed and elected
much praise from those present. The
music on this occasion Was excellent for
dancing, Mr.. Richards, of Milford, who
is magnificent performer on the violin,
happening to drop into town that after
noon. volunteered his services for the
occasion. The guests took leave of the
host and hostess about half-past two on
Thursday morning.
During the evening Major Thompson
Campbell read the following poem, which
had been written for the occasion by Geo.
S. Sawyer, ESQ.,:
WASHINGTON.
The world lay hid in dsrkness-the darkness Of
dispair-
The gloom of minds enfettered weighed down
the ambient air;
No ray of hope enlightened the dark Egyptian
night,
The souls Of men were dying LAY dormant with
alright;
The Despot's thrall had bound them so cruelty
and long.
They but looked up and shuddered, nor dared
to right a wrong;
them thus in bond,
They dared not even question, they dared not
look beyond.
A Goddess roamsd one morning from the EN-.
pyreal sphere,
And stopped, and gazed in in sadnssf, upon the
misery here;
Her beauty was the brightest ethereal mould
could give, .,
And radiant with compassion che said, "Look
up and live
Strike boldly for your freedom! that victory
may be won;
send you IS token my favorite, Washington!
Mankind looked up bswildered, gazed. saw
g,eam of light,
And with new faith awakened, prepared then
for the fight.
The contest was unequal; or seemed to mortali
But Despotism trembled, he knew who deal
the blow.
He did not fear the weapon, but saw the powe
behind,
And saw the shackles falling that bound tn
human mind; rl N,H ,t4.
He saw his scepter broken, his stronghold
ovsrthrown,
While round his former subjects gloriou
halo shown. U7
Erect in conscious freedom, he saw them TAX
their stand. .lU
And beckon to their brothers-the oppressed Q
every land. -.. .-
He saw, by them upreared, beatinc shrine,
Surrounded by the Goddess of Liberty, Divine
And at her right hand sitting-eyer her favorit
son
The token of his ruin-the Immortal Wash
ington.

DEATH OF SHERIFF MCKEE. Sheriff
w. l.. Mckee died on last Thursday
afternoon, little after 2 o'clock, after a
brief illness. Last Saturday morning he
was last out on the streets, and during the
day he sent for DR.. Mathews, who found
that the patient was suffering with a bad
case of bronchitis, and during the week
it developed into laryngitis. The patient
suffered great agony, and Thursday, the
doctor seeing that he was strangling to
death, as the last resort, performed the
operation commonly known as laryngot-
omy. The patient died in about a half an
hour after the operation was performed.
Sheriff Mckee is anold resident of Phoebe,
having resided her since 70, during
which time he has either been connected
with the Sheriff's or Constable offices. He
was elected Constable of Phoebe Town
ship in 1874, and during the election of rs
he was elected Sheriff Of Lincoln county,
which position he has ever since filled,
and at the time of his death was serving
in his third term. He was pioneer of
this Coast and during early days was OPP
Grating in mines at Columbia Hill, Nevada
county, California, with Jim Stockdale.
Sheriff Mckee is native of South Caro-
lima, but was reared at Holly Springs,
Mississippi, where his mother and several
brothers and sisters reside. At the time
his death he was in the 48th year of his
age. He leaves a wife, and numerous
friends, in Phoebe, who mourn his death.
The funeral will take place from his late
residence at l o'clock this afternoon.
CoALBURNERs.- The italian coalburn-
ers from Eureka arrived in Bristol on
Thursday, with complete outfit. They
will probably commence operations out
toward Silver Park as there is large
quantity of timber in that direction.
They report that seventy-fve more coal
burners will soon be down this way and
that they have contract for furnishing
coal for two years to the Day Company.

An old woman named Sarah Gorham
died the other day in an Indianapolis
asylum where she had been an inmate for
thirty-five years. The inordinate guam
titles of opium she consumed made her
the most expensive citizen the city ever
supported. For several months past her
daily allowance ran from 80 to 100 grains
Of opium, besides one pint Of whisky and
more or less morphine. She has been
known to consume 200 grains of opium a
day.

1t is unfortunate hat the capacity
for regulating things should almost
always be not only in direct ratio &c
the difficulty aud magnitude of the in
terests to be regulated, but to their dis
lance from the person vino is born t"
set them right. While the genius is
chiefly produced at a distance from thr
evil to be rectIhed, the information es
sential to an intelligent reformer can
only be got at close quarters. This is
the difficulty under which Mr., Reagan,
of Texes, labOrs in his mastery propo-
sition to regulate the railways OF the
United States. He comes from a STATE
which builds and owns and runs nn
railways. If any RAILWAYS are built
through Texas, it is very much as they
might be built through the Indian Ter
ritory, by foreign spendthriits, VITO
have more money than they know how
to take ARE of. The plan which Mr..
Reagan proposes for regulating rail
ways, originated in Georgia, and has
been adopted in Alabama. But these
states also have essentially no railways
The state of Georgia, however, has
adopted an admirable schedule of freight
rates, Just six times higher than the
rates which prevailed in New York
state, which has four times as many
miles Of railway as Georgia, and worth
twelve times as much, but no genius
for regulating them whatever. This
raises the interesting question why all
the railroads should concentrate in the
northern states, and all the genius for
regulating them by law in the southern.
II Mr.. Reagan's little plan for taking
and keeping the state of Texas out of
the union had succeeded, and the con-
federacy had maintained its i%ndepend
ence, the still more singular anomaly
would have been presented of two adj
joining nations, one of which abounded
in railroads all running at the lowest
rates of freight and fare known in the
world, but utterly u~nregulated, while
the other would have been almost des-
titute of railroads, but her legislative
councils brim full of the solid wisdom
needed for their regulation. Perhaps
MI. Reagan may claim as a parallel
case that the genius for regulating
slavery in the early days vas always
greatest in the states that had no re-
groes; that the temperance reform has

direction to look for sufferers. They
have medicines, stimulants, etc., IN
each boat. The crews are started

turn. The SL7l1iO1CeT, of the
boats above mentioned, returned
the day we left Vicksburg, and on
board she had $50 sufferers, and her
deck was crowded with cattle that
had been picked up. The people on
board were nearly all sick, and
majority of them in a destitute
condition. Another one of their
boats, the Headlight, is expected
back at any time. She will also be
crowded with passengers and cattle.
