ISLANDERS OH Women.

In It's just criticism of the grow
ing evil of slandering women the
Philadelphia Times says no tenden-
cv OF the times is more deplorable
than this. Il has grown until la
dy can scarcely go upon the steets
of even the best governed city with
out suhjecing themselves to rude
and Insulting reniaIk ks from sidewalk
loafers to whom this employment is
mooi congenal. The cases cited are
only typical, not rare exceptions,
which decent people will be so prone
to believe. When such things are
possible the old and boosted chivalry
has certainly passed away and com
pletelv and in its stead have come
brutality and cowardico. 1t is the
du'y of good men and law and all
the agencies of public opinion to
take cognizance OF this vile offense
lest it grow and spread until no wo-
mans good name viii be safe from
those attacks which she herself can
not punish. The sentimeu of lofty
respect and chivalric devotion to the
sanrtity of woman S character, should
be inculcatcd and enforced by every
agency which can contribute to it.

The Cattle MOVement--I4ar
Shipments to Texas.
Montgomery Advertiser.l

On yesterday morning 954 cattle wer
shipped from the L. and n stock yard a
this city, by special train TO Texas. The,
came over the VI. and E. Road to this poin
from Albany, Georgia. where, it ispresdn
cd, they were purchased by parties from
Texas, or their agents. During this month
now closing 1881 head of cattle have heer
handled at the stock yark here. besides
| several carloads which have passed through
withour stopping. All these were shipped
to New Orleans where some were forwarded
to Texas, and considerable number were
purchased by New Orleans butchers. and
| pastured and afterwards sold for beef In
addition to the above mentioned a con-
siderable number of carloads have been
shipped at points along the road between
this city and Pensacola junction, to Texas
About thirty car loads are also expected to
come from West Point, Georgia, which are
for the same destination.
Agents have been inquiring for rates to
TeX"s at stations. on the railroad from
Decatur down. They have been out in
portions Of Montgomery county with he
purpose Of buying AL the cattle that could
be obtained Those that have been shipped
embrace all Sorts sizes and ages. This
movement from small beginnings has in a
very short time attained to phenominal
proportions. It is probably due in a great
measure to two causes. Cattle are scarce
in Texas and command high price; and
enternrising men are also buying to ship to
that State for speculative purposes Il is
not confined to Alabama, but agents have
been buying in Florida, Georgia and
Mississippi. It may not continue much
longer; if 1t should, this country win be
denuded of cattle, and mix cows that now
sell for thirty dollars will command hun
dred per cent. more. 1t may be that one
object Of the Texas cattle men is to cross
the common stock with their fine breeds.
and if it results in getting rid of the scrub
cattle and our farmers replace them with
finer strains, it will not be without good to
this State. The agents appear to be plel-
tifully supplied with money, and the rcadi-
ness with which cattle are purchased, in
dlcate that very good prices are paid.

Naldosta, April 25,-The hardest rain
we have had for years fell Monday morning
For over five hours the rain came down in
torrents ad the elements seemed to empty
their watcry contents to deiuge the earth
with another flood. 1t is difficult to esti-
mate the damage the county has sustained.
The greatest loss has fallen on the farmers
and it will he sometime before they recover.
Much OF the corn and cotton will have to
be replmted. Pully 80 per cent. of the
melon and cucumber crops is destroyed.

Thence it moved towards the northeast
through Newton, Neshoba, Winston and
Oktibbeha counties-of its ravages in which
counties, however. we have as yet heard
little-skirting StarkviIe and crossing the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad at Tibbee
Station, in Oktibbeha county. 1t ran along
/ the railroad to West Point. and thence
dashed off westerly towards Aberdeen,
where it crossed the Tombigbee River and
passed over into Alabama Such is the
course OF the first Mississippi cyclone 1t
entered Mississippi at 1910 p. NJ having
trayeTsed the State and travelled 250 miles
in three h urs, moving at the rate of over
80 miles an hour.
In Alabama its course is not 50 plainly
Marked except that it traversed the north
ern portion of the State, being reported at
Tuscaloosa, Talladega and Birmingham.
About two hours after leaving Aberdeen
the storm had reached Chattanooga, the
distance traversed being about $50 miles
Thence it seems to have moved still north
easterly, for damage from storm is re-
ported along the line of the Cincinnati
Southern
1t is scarcely possible that the cyclone
that swept through Southern Georgia and
South Carolina could have been the same.
1t started early in the morning, and seems
to have swept southwesterly through the
State-through Lexington, Eastman, Ameri-
Gus and Albany. Its course, however, is
not accurately marked out Whether it
was this storm that, proceeding westward,
high up in the air SO IS to cause little damage,
swooped down on the devoted towns of
Georgetown, Beauregard and Wesson. or
whether this latter cyclone is a split off
from the same one that moved northeastern
ly through Aberdeen. which is more proba-
bic, it is as yet impossible to say. This
last storm came from the northeast. and
moved southwesterly, losing Itself in the
pine woJds Of Copiah county, where we
hope it will never be heard Of.

of killed and wounded is already large
