Arranging A EEippOdrome.

Some time age the Mobile Rifles re-
ceiyed letters from the managers of the
fall fairs at Meridian. Aberdeen, and
Jackson, all in the s te Of Mississippi -,
asking if this command could appear
and participate in a drill fixed to take
place at each of these exhibitions. The
Mobile Rifles considered he matter and
decided that it would not do to go on
such trip at this season. This ended
the matter.
The true history Of a part of the ne
Gouations is at this late day coming to
the front. The invitations from Meridian
aud Aberdeen were doubtless sincere,
but the secretary Of the jackson Fair
was evidently attempting to get up a
hippodrome for the benefit OF .he Cres
cent Rifles Of New Orleans.

by those who read the above publ

for a "Primary Election" and the
question of instruction Of Delegates
was left for each Of the several Su-

settle for itself, in its own way,rreely,
and untrammoled by orders or direc-

In these District Conventions there
we're no ballots of instruction cast
for Senator, except in the 9th Su-

Of the County Convention Of the

him go, and then she sat down and al
most sobbed her foolish heart out, and
spent the bitterest hour of her life be-
meath the trees from which the leaves
were falling. Suddenly she looked up

She called at the top of her voice; no

all other feelings she ran to and fro in O
wild endeavor to find him. She asked
the policeman at the gate; he had not
seen him. An hour passed IN fruitless
search; and then, pale with fear and
trembling in every limb, she went home
to relate the terrible news. Just as she
got to the door she saw through the
gathering shadows Tom DawIish, and
in his arms little figure, which her
heart told her was Master Frankly.
