sincere cordality. true fraternity, delight

GRENADA, MISS, SATURDAY. AonIL IA 1888

In our first days rambles about the
State Capitol, as SENTINEL reporter, we
did not meet with Maj. j. Barksdale, the
distinguished editor-in in-chief of the Clar-
ion, as be had been for some days con-
fined to his room by indisposition. Sub
sequently, however, we found him at his
post, and was met with that courtesy and
kindness that always mark the gentle
man. Sickness in his own person. and
bereavement in his family, had some
what saddened his features, but u few
minutes conversationupon general topics
kindled the wonted fire Of his eye brou't
out flashes of an intellect second to none
OF our acquaintance. Maj. Barksdale, as
is well known, has been promoted by a
generous constituency, from the tripod to
the dignity of a "M. o." and surely he is
not spoiled by promotion. Barksdale, in
the field Of political aaHcussion, whether
upon tho stump ortin the sanctum, is not
only fearless, but a dangerous competitor
to.those whom he antagonizes. He has
not only a wonderful memory where
from he can recall at an instant any
fact that may subserve his purpose, but
is a man of wonderful resources, and
consequently never at loss for even an
expedient to sustain him in personal de-
bate, or strengthen him in newspaper
discussion. Long the bold and fearless
leader Of the Democracy in their contests
with Radicalism. until their banner of
triumph was planted in the expulsion of
Ames, he has in the face of strong
opposition within and without, main
tanned his political integrity until now,
and if he is not in the foremost rank of
southern Democrats in the coming con-
gress in sustaining the rights of
his party and the honor of his
country, we will be mistaken. We
would not have it understood that in our
capacity, we looked after
the great men of the land in Jackson, for
we really took in our everyday friends,
and had some very pleasant hours.
There was DR.. Byron Lemly, our old
friend Bustamante who is going for the
State Fair, Capt. Kidd, not the famous
pirate Or any Of his descendants, Reel
Garland what associations of by-gone
days did these old friends revive Then,
there was young L. Feibleman and
his interesting family OF mother, father,
brothers and sisters. Then, we met DR..
Mabin and spenta very pleasant night
with him and his charming, handsome
wife, where grace and intelligence go
hand in hand with ease and refinement.
Our late visit to jackson was a sweet lit
tie idyl in the plain history of everyday
ssfe. Next week we will have an article
on the Lunatic ASYLUM.

Promising future.

According to the True Standard, pull
lished at Fredericksburg, Va, Judge
Sener has reached his home. He has
been interviewed by the editor of the
above paper. We make the following
extract as being matter of general in
terest:
In general terms he speaks of the
wonderful growth, activity and devel-
opment of the mighty empire of the
northwest; of its prodigious yields of
wheat, running as high as fifty bushels
to the acre in the Red liver of the
northwest in Dakota, and in good sea-
sons a like amount In the Walla
Walla valley of Washington territory,
besides immense hop, oat and hay
crops. Many immigrants from our
own aud foreign lands are going in.
Towns and villages, in tents aud wood
en- structures are springing up on every
hand, whilst more p~reteDtious cities
like Portland, Oregon; Helena, NJ. T.,
Seattle, W. T. and Fargo, Da., are be-
ginning to evince the presence of
wealth, prosperity and culture, and
are rapidly ranking with the more set
tied cities further east.
The lands are rapidly being takeu up
under the laws of the United States by
bona fide settlers, and likewise, too, If
reports can be credited, syndicates of
capitalists and ''sharks" are trying 10,
and, indeed, are actually in many cases
mOnopolizing the nations heritage for
the honest settlers. In many instance
vast tracts are owned by one man or
6rm-notably in Dakota, where %, 200
acres of rich, wheat growing land are
under n control, and in the same ter
ritory $4,000 acres are owned by one
person. And here the steam plow and
the steam tbresher take the place Of the
conservative and slower methods of
preparation and garnering Of our old
time Virginians.
The climate of Oregon and Wash
ington territory is well known to be
mild and equable, whilst Montana be-
ing within the warm belt is never ex
posed, in the middle and lower parts of
it to such low temperature as might be
expected in a land so far north. The
greatest cold and the most trouble from
blockades to the Northern Pacific will
probably De met with in Dakota and
Minnesota,
