j. G. Hamilton comes before the
voters as candidate for seat in the
State Senate from district No. l6, which
is composed solely of the county of
Holmes. -Four years ago he offered for
the same position, was chosen by the
Democratic Conservative party as its
standard-bearer, and bore the banner gal
lanty and triumphantly, in the face of
the strongest opposition, to real Water
loo victory. On taking his place in the
Senate Hall, he at once took leading
position among Senators and maintained
it to the end of each session. Whatever
was for the good of his people he asked
for, and whatever was, This judgment,
detrimental to their interests he opposed
and he only ceased to advocate the
one, or oppose the other, when the mat
ter had passed into law, or had been
finally defeated. Col. Hamilton's past
fidelity to his party and the people, can
be confidently relied on as sure indica-
ton Of what his future action will be-

With close observation Of Col. Ham
ilton's course in the Senate throughout
the term in which he has served, we do
not hesitate to express our full concur
renee in the above endorsement. His
legislative career may be scrutinized
from beginning to end, without the dis
coyery Of single flaw.

EDITORS CLARIoN--In THE CLARION
of the 2lst inst, there is letter from
the chief of the State Department at
Washington, in which it is said that a
declaration of intention does not entitle
a foreign born resident of the United
States to protection abroad. Now while

question at issue, or the diplomacy Of
the past / do call to mind from mem
memory only, (for | have nothing to refer

Martin Kaszta, an Austrian subject,
made a declaration of.intention to be-
come a citizen Of the United States, and

tive, and probably caused his recall.
There may have been this question at
issue in the Kaszta matter, he being ar
rested and taken forcibly from on board
of an American ship, and although in a
foreign port, yet the arrest was upon
American soil, and so maintained by the
United States government. At the same
time, | am clear that the doctrine was
also maintained that the act of declara-
ton of becoming a citizen of the United
States entitled the person making it to
the protection Of the United States gov
ernment. 1t may have been abandoned
or differently settled by treaty, and gem
eral diplomacy since, but recollect very
distinctly, that the government and the
people almost unanimously approved of
the prompt and effective action Of Capt.
Ingraham in the affair.

ton Of that case, | may be mistaken,

action of the Secretary of State is a
backing down from the former positions

From the Circuit Court of Lincoln coun-

Ejectment Judgment below for de-
fendant. Plaintiffs evidence was
patent for the lands from the United
States to X. Hardie, brother of the
plaintiff, who died intestate, unmarried
and without children. Defendant re-
lied upon tax collectors deed dated lst
July, 1867, the tax deed reciting erro-
neously that the land was sold for the
taxes of 1867, when in matter of fact
they were sold for the taxes of 1866, and
evidence was introduced showing the
clerical error.

man, contra.
CAMPBELL, c. j.,
Held
|. The first Monday in July, 1867, was
the time fixed by the act 1868, D. Iii, for
the sale OF lands delinquent for taxes,
which act was in operation in 1867 and
governed the sales made in that year.
2. The deed from the tax collector to
Chrisman vested in him a title not as
sailable except for fraud or mistake in
the assessment or sale, or upon proof
that the taxes had been paid on the land
before the sale. Acts 1859, go, D. 213.
3. The admitted fact that the sale was
made for the taxes Of 1866, and not 1867,
as erroneously recited in the deed, freed
it from all objection because of the cler-
ical error by which it was made to show
that the sale was made for the taxes Of
1867.
4. The effect of the deed as evidence
is to be determined by the law in force
when it was made. Code 1880. Affirmed.

the place where the public road from
Red Creek to Mississippi City crosses said

period that no other person should be per
mitted to keep public ferry over said

Amber Cane as Stock Feed.

As this is the time of year when farm
ers generally make up their minds as to
what they will do with their farms the
coming year, a suggestion to those who
have stock and wish to know good
forage plant might not be out of
place.
To those who have rasches overtaxed
from raising wheat and barley for the
past ten or fifteen years, and wish to
give their land a rest by summer follow
ing, and at the same time to get some
return the same year for labor expended,
I would suggest the planting of amber
sorghum cane. The requisites neces-
sary for good yield are no more than
wheat, namely, good cultivation ano.
thorough pulverization of the soil. This
year planted some in young orchard
of about two acres, putting one row be-
tween the rows OF trees, and used about
two quarts of seed, which l consider
rather too much for the ground, but I
judge that ten pounds would be sufficient
per acre. planting the rows three feet
apart. After ploughing the ground twice
and narrowing it down smoothly, the
heavy rains of May made it nee
essary for me to go over it again with a
Gu tivator which was done the latter
part of the month, and on June 1
took the pillow and ran furrow throu Oh
about two inches deep, sowed the seed.
and covered it with a slicker or c.od

Good Coffee.

Good coffee is one of the most essen
tial requisites ofa good table. Often
after the best coffee is procured it is
spoiled in the making. Nothing will 80
perfectly destroy the flavor of coffee as
all old burnt boiler. Many times is the
question raised, "what can be the mat.
ter with our coffee?" and it is not an
swered until the mistress examines for
herself. The cook declares that she has
made it in the usual way and the fault
must be in the coffee. Upon investiga.
ton the old burned coffee pot is found
to be the cause of the trouble. Unless
the greatest care is taken and the
grounds removed every time coffee is
made it soon becomes unfit for use.
There are numerous patent coffee-post
which in a measure obviate the trouble,
but most of them are quite expensive,
and sometimes quite useless. One,
however. is very simple and really very
practicable. 1t is of plain tin, made in
two parts, something after the fashion
of farina boiler. The bottom of the
upper part is covered with thin cloth,
which Is 80 arranged that it can be cas-
lily removed or replaced. The coffee is
put lntO tnlS part WnlcQ reaches quite
low into the boiler proper. No egg is
required to settle this coffee, the
grounds being held by the strainer.
Boiling water is poured through the cot.
fee, and then it is allowed to stand few
minutes OH the stove. This method OF
making coffee is similar to the French
way, but differs in this respect that the
strength of the coffee is only partially
extracted 10y pouring the water Through
and the process is finished by allowing
the coffee to come to q boil with the
grounds in it.

Wealthy COngressmen.

The number of wealthy members of
Congress constantly increases. Social
prestige is frequently as much sought
after by them as distinction in legisla-
tive work. In consequence, elegant es-
adjustments increase wonderfully year
by year, until Congressman who is
content to live upon his pay cuts very
small figure here. Col. Theodore Ly-
man of Massachusetts is one Of the new
me nbers who will entertain much. He
has bought an elegant place on Thomas
Circle for that purpose. Col. Lyman

than that, brave and scholarly man.

A Fine Fertilizer,

A Prairie Farmer tells of combine
ton for fertilizing purposes of lime and
salt. The instruction is to *'mixa-one
bushel of salt with two bushels of dry
lime, under cover, and allow the mix
ture to decompose gradually, thus form
ing an intimate chemical union of the
two materials. For this purpose the
mixture should lie at Feast six weeks be-
tore use, or, still better, two or three
months, the heap being turned over oc-
casionaIly. This salt and lime mixture,
when applied at the rate of twenty to
thirty bushels per acre, forms all excel
lent top-dressing for crops. 1t acts
powerfully on the vegetable matter OF
soils. Fifty bushels applied to turnip
field have produced as large a crop as
twenty loads of barn-yard manure. 1t is
also very destructive to insects and grubs
in the soil. Like salt, it attracts mois-
ture from the air, and has been found
useful against drought. Its decomposing
power is remarkable, and if three or
four bushels Of it are mixed with cord
of swamp muck the latter will soon be
reduced to powder. Coarse manure is
in a similar manner decomposed and
made fine. Sour, wet muck thus treated
and composted with barn-yard manure
constitutes fertilizer almost as valuable
as the unmixed manure of the barn
Yard."

Of many of the goods they handle
These may seem trivial points, but they
are of interest to the man who seeks to
be thoroughly familiar with tho mer-
chandise in which he deals. For the in
formation of such, we give the deriva.
ton of the names of the following goods:
Damask is from the city OF Damascus;
satins from Zaytown in China; calico
from Calicut, town in India, formerly
celebrated for its cotton cloth. and
where calico was also printed. Muslin
is named from Mesul in Asia; alpaca
from an animal of Peru, of the llama
species, from whose wool the fabric is
woven. Buckram takes its name from
Bochara: Fustian comes from Fostat.
the modern Cairo is descended;
street in Bagdad; cambria from Cam
brai. Gauze has its name from GAIA:
baize from Bajsc; dimity from Damietta,
ami jeans from Jean. Drugget is de-
rived from a city in Ireland, Drogheda.
Duck comes from Torque, in Normandy.
Blanket is called after Thomas Blanket,
a famous clothier, connected with the
introduction of woolens into England
about 1910. Serge derives its name from
Nerga, Spanish name for peculiar
WOODEN blanket. Diaper is not from
D'Ypres, as is sometimes stated, but
from the creek diaspron, figured. Vel
vet is from the Italian velluto, woody

to bind or tie, because they are tied in
knots before dyeing. Chintz comes

The Man Who Leaves the Door
Open.

From the New York Tribuas.
While the man who takes your unbrel-
la has all seasons for his own, and the
man who has little story to tell fails
not in seed time nor in harvest, there is
one particular fiend who becomes par
ticuiarly numerous at about the time
when there is GOODNESS in the morning
breeze and no steam in the radiator. We
refer to the man who leaves the door
open. He comes to the Office on various
ostensible brands, in fact on about ev-
cry known pretext,-excepting to set
tie ill,-but always his purpose is to

through which the autumnal zephyrs
come cavorting with glacial GOODNESS,
and bearing in their chase embrace full
many atoken of tho pervasive dust t. ON
which we sprang and to which We sh Ill
return. It does no good to bawl after
him to shut the door. Oh, no. He is
meandering alown the sunny street,
watching the white winged clouds play
ing tag in the deep smiling heavens.
But as we lay down the pen, and push
back the chair, and walk to the door and
close it softly and pensively. and then
stoop to gather up the scattered papers
that have been whirled about our feet
like fading forest leaves. the blessed
Ssrosch whispers promises OF good
time coming, and We are copsoled with
confidence that in that bright dawninR
era our autumn days will be free from
carking care, for the man who leaves
the door OPEN must 60.
