MISSISSIPPI AND LOUISIANA.

| Under the above caption, recent
communication from Natchez, Miss, to
the Times-Democrat, gives a list OF
prominent citizens for whom this State
! is indebted to Mississippi. Among them
are VIM. G. C. Claiborne, Henry john
son, Joseph Walker, Isaac johnson,
former Governors of Louisiana, and
many others. The article includes a
short biographical sketch of each. We
would like to publish the whole of it,
but have not the space. We make the
following extract, referring to one OF
our own Pensioners
Your talented young statesman, Hon.
| E. T. Lewis, who has just been noml-
mated for Congress, is of Mississippi,
origin. His grandfather, Hon. Seth
Nashville bar, when w. G. G. Clai-
borne, then representing Tennessee in
| Congress, was appointed Governor OF
Mississippi Territory. He prevailed on
Mr.. Lewis to move here, and appointed
him Chief Justice of the territory. Sub
seauently he removed to Opelonsas, and
Gov. Claiborne, now transferred to
Louisiana, appointed him to the SUI
preme Court. He was profound law
yer and scholar, and a writer OF great
ability. The sister of Judge Lewis was
| a woman of rare accomplishments,
| wife OF Major Isaac Guion. He was
the son of French Huguenot, who set
tied in New York. Mr.. Gnion entered
the army at an early age was on the
staff of Gen. Alexander Hamilton, was
subsequently under Gen. Wayne in his
| indian campaigns, and came down the
river with the first detachment of Amer
can troops that occupied fort Nogales
(now Vicksburg), when the Spaniards
evacuated it. He subsequently retired
| from service, and settled at the foot OF
| Halfway Hill, near Natchez. Both hus-
band and wife were endowed with re-
markable talents, and highly cultivated.
Their sons inherited these gifts.
Frederick, a lieutenant in the army, fell
| in duel here with VIM. Yerby, a
young lawyer of Woodville. John
| [. Guion, distinguished as lawyer and
| legislator, was partner of VIM. u.
Sharky and S. S. Prentiss. George
w. Guion, parish judge of Concordia,
removed to Lafourche and became very
prominent there.
| There was another branch of the Lew
| is family, the same stock, from which
are descended Hon. VIM. f. Mellen, an
eminent member of your bar, professor
| of law in tfIe University of Louisiana,
and Hon. T. P. Mellen prominent
lawyer of this city.

Recently the State Treasurers Of Ten
nessee and Alabama absconded, be-
cause they had illegally squandered the
public funds and they were not Re
publican treasurers either. Some time
back the Republicans did the plumber
ing. because they were In power; now
the DemoGsAts are in power, and they
do it. Many men seek Office, because
they are dishonest and want an oppor-
tunity to steal without much danger.
There is but one safe rule for the peo-
pie to go by: vote for no candidate who
is not an honest man-his honesty to
be ascertained by scrutinizing his acts
in his business relations as d citizen.
and not BY his public professions Of
honesty when he is begging for votes to
elect him to Office. When honest men
fill the public Offices, there will be no
more plundering of the public treasury,
and we will have good laws and not too
many OF them, and they will be proper
" administered.

A year or so ago, loud and frequent
complaints came from England, about
the large quantity of American cotton
received there that had sand and trash
packed in it. Such widespread pub
licity was given to it, that this adultera-
ton of cotton has about ceased. 1t was
stopped by the newspapers. The news
papers are the light of the world and
those who would suppress them are
guilty of dark deeds, and prefer dark
ness to light.

The christians feast, drink strong
drink and dance on Mardi-Gras, in or
der to prepare themselves to celebrate
or keep Lent which represents the forty
days that Christ fasted-they serve
Bacchus to get in good trim to weakly
initiate Jesus. The ancients gave more
service to Bacchns and Venus than to
any of the other diyinities, and if some
Of them were to return to life, they
would find the same thing now. Spir-
itual religion as Christ taught it, is
very scarce, and not in much demand.

5LANGTYR's BEAUTY.-Susan B.. the
Fashion writer in the New Orleans
States. says of Mrs. Langtry, the ia
nous English beauty and actress, now
performing in that city. that her beauty
"has been weighed in the balance OF
public opinion and found wanting
but adds Beyond a doubt, though,
Langtry's shoulder and the back of her
neck are ais faultless as if they had
served as model for the Venus de
Milos. She knows it too, and that is
why she wears her dresses cut lower
in the back than in the front. But her
bosom is by no means boneless nor, are
her arms as tapering as one might ex-
pect to see on such a famous beauty.
Indeed, her elbows are positively point
ed. Her waist is slender and suggestive
Of tight lacing. Her feet are the feet
Of sturdy English pedestrian. She has
good walk both off and on the stage,
and she moves with the unconscious
grace and dignity of a duchess.n To
show the quality of her under-pinning,
the writer adds when she read
the lines, Well. I'll go home,
them and tripped across the stage,
she swung her embossed velvet train
over her arm, carrying with it all her
lace petticoats and displaying thin
but shapely pair Of legs encased in pale
blue stockings. OF course, every pair
of opera glasses in the house was im-
mediately leveled in that direction

A Frenchman named Masquelier
saw man named Courier shot and
killed by his own son, in Jefferson par
ish he reported the matter to the po-
lice, and he, as we'll as the criminal,
was arrested and thrown in prison, to
be detained as witness when the trial
comes off. A poor man, who is a stran-
ger without friends, ought not to wit
ness crimes or he ought to keep his
knowledge to himself, if the penalty is
to be treated like criminal for report
ing the crime. We think the very fact
that Masquelier reported this crime
promptly, was sufficient guarantee
that he would be forthcoming as a wit
ness without being detained as pris-
oner. Friendless poverty amounts
practically to a crime, under such cir
cumstances.

cumstances.

A poor old woman who lived near a
railroad, had a solitary cow, which was
killed by the cars. She applied fol
payment which was refused, and she
was too poor to prosecute law suit.
But she was not one of the kind who
practiced the doctrine Of turning one
cheek when the other has been smitten.
With the tallow she got from the COW,
she creased the rails on the track every
day, which stopped the train and
caused delay. In this way she COM

A tutor who sneaked up stairs in his
stocking feet every night to see if the
boys had put out the lights at the APP
pointed hour, failed to reach the top
one night: several papers of tacks had
been set on end, on the steps, and the
tutor had to be taken to his bed and
have the tacks pulled out-when bis
feet were stuck full, he sat down, and
that made the matter worse.

On the seventh or Sabbath day,
which now means Sunday, "thou shalt
do no labor, thou nor thy man servant,
nor thy maid servant, nor thy OK, nor
thy ass" etc. When this command
ment was set up, they did not use
horses and mules as they do now, and
they should be included to give the
commandment proper scope at the
present day. When pious people get
up on Sunday morning and have the
maid servant to milk the cows and have
an early breakfast, and the man servant
to feed, curry and harness the mules or
horses, and grease the carriage wheels,
SO they can go to church, this command
ment is not kept in letter nor in spirit.
While they are at church the maid SER
want cleans up the house, churns, prob
ably, and gets ready big Sunday din
ner. The preacher himself does his
hardest days work on Sunday. To
keep the day strictly, nothing should be
done that savors of work. Sunday is a
good day for fasting but those who
will eat, should prepare their food. the
day before, and on that day let the
mules and horses rest, and stay at
home or walk to church. Pious Sab.
bath breakers constantly violate this
commandment in the ways that please
them, and at the same time rail at 9TH
ers who are simply guilty OF doing the
same thing in Il different manner. By
such gross inconsistency they set up
stumbling blocks in the way Of the I'M
regenerate. II they are right
those they condemn are not altogeth-
er wrong and before the pious Sab
bath breakers can persuade others to
do as they do, they themselves must
comply strictly and rigidly with the let
ter and spirit OF the commandment.
