James Smith.

Among the names of gentlemen par
ticipating in the proceedings of the
Southern Historical Society, at Nash
vile, last week, we noticed that of
"Hon. James Smith, of Glasgow, Scot
land" We have reason to believe that
this is our ante bellum townsman, who
hopes to slip in upon his relatives and
old friends here without notice. He had
left home for six weeks recreation, and
for perhaps his last visit to Mississippi,
where he lived and labored in his early
manhood. He is on terms of great in
timacy with Ex-President Davis, and
doubtless expected to meet him in Nash
vile, and being disappointed thereat, we
presume Mr.. Smith is now enjoying
himself at Beauvoir.
Should Mr.. Smith visit Jackson, he
cannot escape some sort of public
demonstration that will show the esteem
in which he is held here by the old citi-
zens, and by generation of young peo-
Pile who have heard of his good deeds
and who have rejoiced at his success in
| life We do not know when Mr. Smith
came to Jackson, but for a score or more
of years prior to the war, his name. was
prominent in business, fraternity and
social circles, He was one Of the charter
members of Jackson Fire Company, No
l, organized May LIST, 1889, and of his as
sociates only few suryiye-Messrs. G
H. Manship, John Sharp, II. B. Evans
James Black, and perhaps others.
Mr.. Smith returned to Scotland il
1855 His younger brother, Robert A
Smith, (who was afterward the gallan
Colonel Of the Tenth Mississippi regi
ment, and who was killed at Mumfords
WILEY, continued the business of stoves
hardware, etc, on the premises now oc
CAPPED by Mr.. Isydore Strauss, MI
Smith sold this property after the wa
| and appropriated the proceeds to tn
public schools of Jackson.
On the breaking out of the war, MI
i Smith invested largely in Confoderat
bonds, and by his purse and pen CAV
: material aid to the cause. He sent
I six-pounder brass piece and twenty-fv
= Belgium rifles to Jackson. The beautifu
!. gra mite shaft that marks in our cemeter
the resting place of his gallant brothe
), was shipped by him from Glasgow. A
;, the recent reunion of the Presbyteria
u congregation in this city, he remembers
5, the "auld kirk" with fifty-pound ste
n. ling draft. Mr.. Smith ranks among II
l. millionaires of Glasgow, but he is nov
m as he was forty years ago, one of IL
plainest and most unassuming of mel
He visited this country in 1858 or 1856
and was shipwrecked on the Arctic, an
the basket in which he tloated unit
,r picked up by passing steamer, Il
n Cambria, occupies place Of honor

T. CASTOR, and one Of her daughters bea

Another Phase OF Idiooy.

The recent death of Abd-el- Kader at Da-
mascus brings out another phase of the great
love of the average American to have a for
eign title of some sort appended to his name.
In the absence of titles of nobility in this
country the ambitious American either seeks
to marry his daughter to some titled Euro
pean, or by some means to achieve title,
even if a meaningless one, for himself. New
York city takes the lead in this matter.
1t seems that Abd-el-K -Kader was instru-
mental in organizingi iu this country a branch
of the eastern society known as "The An
cent Arabic Order of the Mobiles of the Mys-
tic Shrine" and that New York city furnished
about five hundred members. DIR. Walter G..
Fleming, of 81 West Forty-6fth street, N ew
York, has issued high sounding address
to all illustrious potentates, rabbans, and
noble shareefs,' &C., announcing the death of
their llustrious friend. DR.. Fleming directs
his stricken comrades that for tho full term
of three crescent moons they shall within
the mystic sanctuaries of the shrine, in ac-
cordance with ancient oriental custom, drape
their altars and tombs with the insignia of
mourn ing and let the symbolic urn be placed
upon the sacred black stone, there to exhale
incense during all ceremonials, and inscribo
upon their tomple records notice Of the same"
This is very oriental, but very idiotic. DR..
Fleming while not very communicative
about the duties, advantages, and objects of
| the order of uobles in this country, informs us
that in Europe aud Asia "a violation Of the
vows of the order means death to the viola
tor" The mau simply disappears. We had
thought that in y country where man could
be called a major or colonel or judge on such
easy terms that our people would not ruth
lcssly spend their money and waste their
time for the purpose of being called illustri-
GUS potentate, or illustrious rabban, or illus
trious sbarcef whatever these may mean, We
cannot avoid the fear that their mobiles are
illustrious idiots

Nor. Policemen Wanted.

Washington, or moro properly the Dis
trict of Columbia, employs one police officer or
patrolman to something over one thousand
inhabitants, this not including the large Wis
iting and floating population, which is un-
usually large here relatively to the resident
people. London, Paris, New York, and other
large cities employ one patrolman to every
four or five hundred inhabitants.
1t is true that larger cities require more
protection and surveillance than smaller ones
according to population, because the danger
GUS classes assemble in them; but the
disproportion in the ratio of patrolmen en-
ployed in the cities referred to and in Wash
ington shows that either the number employed
in those cities is too large or the number en-
ployed here is insufficient
When tho comparison is made by the terri
tory covered by the patrol the discrepancy Is
much greater New York, for example, has
twenty-three patrolmen to the square mile,
while the District of Columbia has but one,
Leaving out that portion Of the district not
comprised in the old corporate limits of Wash
ington and Georgetown, the comparison be-
tween New York aud Washington shows that
the former city has about ten times as many
patromen to the square mile as the latter.
No gangs of professional thieves are at this
