Talking one Way and Doing An
other.

II is certain that the President Is not
carrying into practice the civil service
professions of his message. In that
paper he said in effect that party consid-
eratiOns should not enter into the re-
moyal or appointment of employees OF
the government. Many Democrats took
him at his word and help to pass a bill,
the effect of which will continue the
present Republican monopoly OF the
subordinate offices in the departments
at Washington. Comment has been
made upon his removal of Mr.. Stewart
l.. Woodford from the District Attor-
nevship in New York. Some of our
readers, will no doubt remember the
self-suflicient and arrogant manner IN
which, abusing courtesy, he lectured
the students of the Mississippi Univer
sitv. From that day to this, we have
borne him a grudge, and are really glad
that we are "even." But this has moth
ing to do with his service as District
Attorney and his removal. None have
cast suspicion on his integrity and ell
cheney as an officer. The only cause Of
displacement was that he refused to sup
port Folger, the Administration favorit'
for Governor of New York. Republi
can papers tell us that other removals
equally political have been made; anC
vet Mr.. Arthur wrote his message ant
signed the bill for civil service reform
We need not confine our observation t

slant Republican, was put aside to COZ

pontment of Mr. John I. Hull, its hea
and front, and an ADLER and more vigol
o us man.
The President talks reform in the civ
service, but keeps his eye on the mail
chance.

By common consent it seems to be
agreed that Mr., Robert G. Patty shall
be one of the Democratic candidates in
Noxubee for the House of Representa-
tives. He is man of practical business
habits and qualiiications,an is thorough
ly informed on the question of taxes and
the financial management Of the State
government. We would refer persons
who wish to be enlightened on these
subjects, to his testimony before the last
Congressional Committee to investigate
Mississippi matters.
Hon Clarke Lewis is also mentioned
favorably for the Senate from Noxubee.
He would bring to the duties of the
office, his past experience as legisla-
tor, and we concur in the opinion of the
Beacon, that he possesses in prominent
degree the essentials of useful legisla.

ter, bold and decisive in his opinions
and endowed with courage sufficient foi

WELD an influence in our Legislative
body for good, which will be fell

a 100000 Proture.

A correspondent from Kome Gays, as
entered the door saw q crowd Of peopl,
gathered around railing on the opposite
side Of the rooT, gazing silently and ln-
tently straight at the wall before them
Then knew that the Madonna was there
With feeling of mysterious awe akin tt
that which one feels when going to lool
on the face Of the dead, I approached ant
looked on the great picture. 1t is painteC
on panel perfectly circular IN form and
about the size Of an ordinary barrel head,
and Is set III MASSIVE, eiaboratcly wrought
gilt frame five or six inches wide.
The Madonna ID represented as standing
though only half length ia shown In tn,
picture. She wears robe Of grayish. blu,
material gathered loosely across the bosom
and ia ling in ample folds over the lef
shoulder. Her hair Is combed smoothly
down over the temples and back from the
face, and ID mostly covered by a veil of q
green color, worked IN silver threads, and
falling with the hair in graceful waves be-
hind the shoulders.
AS to the face, almost hesitate to
speak OF It; for no words can convey any
adequate idea Of It's divine beauty. And
yet If had never heard of 1t, don't think
l would have seen anything extraordinary
IN 1t, because would only have given 1t
casual glance, and one marked pecul-
arity OF the picture is that you can't see 1t
at glance. 1t does not at once rlvet the
attention and impress you deeply as most
great masterpieces do. To appreciate 1t
at all at It's true worth, 1t Is absolutely y
necessary to study 1t long and earnestly.
But after looking at it awhile its trans
cendent beauty began to dawn upon me,
and the longer gazed the more and more
beautiful 1t became, but gradually, very
gradually, like the slow coming of perfect
day from the first faint etrcaks of light in

quietly and looked at it, making various
comments with bated breath and then
passing on, most of them evidently dis.
appointed, though only few go III express
terms. l think none of them saw It's full
beauty.
The head is nobly shaped and gracefully
poised and the brow is smooth and serene.
The face Is oval in form, with delicate,
clcar-cut features lit up by soft, radiant
light. The eyes are cast down and tho
orbs are only partially visible from under
the drooring lids. The most exprcssi We
single feature ls perhaps the mouth, the
under lip Of which is slightly drawn in
one side. The predominant expression of
the whole is tdat of deep, rapturous, but
subdued and penslve Joy, mingled with a
modest but lnapproachable reserve that
gives to the face its peculiar character of
noble dignity. Still don't think 1t ls a

The Habit OF Painting.

There Is not 50 much fainting in
public as there was thirty years ago.
Sound health, which necessarily Sc
cures tho firm nerves and muscles, is
the surest preventive OF fainrness. An
exchange remarks that the majority Of
vigorous mon go through all kinds Of
severe and painful experience without
fainting, while delicate mon and women
swoon at trifes. American women,
who used to faint continually - in
crowds at bad news, at scenes of dis
tress--now faint comparatively seldom;
and the fact is ascribed to their re-
linquishment for the most part, of tho
habit Of laoing, to their increased ex-
orcise IN the open air, and their better
physical conditions. Not one Ameri-
can faints to-day, where, thirty years
ago, twenty-five women tainted and the
dlminution of the disorder, always the
result of direct causes, is an llnmis-
taxable evidence, wmch other things
