The Raymond Conference.
New NIississippian.I

A week ago yesterday, the Ex-
ecutive Committee of this county
met at Raymond to confer with
leading members of the eolored
race, in relation to a request for
representation of the cOlOred vote
of this county upon the next eoun-
ty electoral ticket. The PROPOSE
ton is entertained by the commit
tee, and by them referred to the
Democratic party of the county in
a meeting hereafter to assemble
on the second day of July.
Suppose we fuse with the ne
groes, and the Independents put
up straight white ticket of rea-
sonbly good men-what then! We
hear that is their programme.
We prefer to take no scrub race
in ours. 1t behooves the Democ-
racy to stick close together, aud
work with concert Of action. The
opposition is rallying every day.
An attempt to bring n halt a
dozen political negroes into office
under a Democratic banner may
please Il few otlice.seekers, but it
satisfies neither white man nor
black, Democrat nor Republican.
Who is to be entrusted with the
selection of the negro end of the
ticket! What political principles
are they required to have'
Republicanism is to the negro
the political name which guaran.
tees his political rights, and cxcep,
through this party name no treaty
or alliance can be made with him
which he respects or in which he
will confldc.

A Monkey aud a DOG Time.
[Bill Arp.l

Moore had a big fighting stump
tail bull dog by the name of Rat.
tier, and one day little italian
came along with an organ and a
monkey; and as the crowd gath
cred around, he asked the man if
his monkey could fight.
"oh, yes; he fght,' said the
Italian.
"Will he fight a dog,' said
Moore.
"Oh, yes, he fight dog-he whip
dog quick said the italian.
Moore pulled out five dollar
bill and said:
an bet You this that I've got Il
dog he cant whip
The little fellow covered it with
another five, and the money was
handed over to stakeholder, and
they went through to a back yard,
followed by half the folks in the
little town. There lay the dog on
the grass asleep, and at the word
the Italian tossed the monkey mp
on him. In less than n jiify the lit.
tic brute had his teeth and his
claws fastened like n wise in the
stump of that dogs tail aud was
screcching like hyena. The dog
gave but one astonished look be.
hind as he bounced to his feet and
made tracks for another country.
The monkey held on until Rattlcr
sprang over a ten.rail fence ut the
back of the garden, when he sud.
denly quit his hold and sat on the
top rail and watched the dogs
fight with chatter Of perfect sat
islaction and danced along the rail
with delight. The crowd was con.
vulsed. They laughed aud reared
and hollered tumultuously, all but
old man Moore, whose voice could
be heard above all others as he
stood upon the fence and shout
cd: "Here, Rattler; here, here
Here, Rather, here! Here, Rattlcr,
herew But Rather wouldn't hear
Rather ratified on and on, across
field after field, until he got to the
woods and was gone from human
sight. The little Italian shoulder
ed his monkey af'cctionatcly and
walking up to Moore said:
"Your dog not well to-day
may be your dog gone of to hun
rabbcet. Your dog no like IN,
monkey-he not acquaint. May b'
ven | como again next year HI
come back and fight some more
Ven you look for him to com,
backgn
Moore gave up the wager, bu
he asserted solemnly that Rattle
would have whipped the fight If h
hadn't have run.
"The surprise, gentlemen, tn
surprise Is what done it, said he
"for that dog has whipped vii,
cats and a bear and n she wolf an,
every dog in ten miles of Wat
kinsville.'
And all that evening and ava
in the night and early next morn
ing an inviting mournful voic
. could be heard at the back of th
garden calling Rattler, here, Rat
: tier, hcre,n and three days after
: man brought Rather home, but h
/, had lost his integrity, and ncve
f could be induced to fight anythin
J more.

This gun was the work of Chule-
by Koomy Khan, an officer in the
service of HOosein Nizam Shac.
at Almednugger. 1t is formed of
q mixed metal of which there is

fore considered the largest gun in
the world. The mold in which it
was cast is still in existence and
lies neglected in the garden of the
tomb of the founder. The cannon
itself is mounted on the dilapida-
ted walls of the obscure town of
Bejapoor, where it is greatly rev.
erenced by the natives, who be.
lieve, in common with Indian his.
torians, that it was taken in 1862
by Ally Adj Shad. II IS styled
"Mulik al Meidau" Sovereign of
the Plain, and is approached by
the natives with countenances in
which devotion may plainly be
read. And that they regard the
gun as kind of deity is still fur
ther shown by their practice of
adorning the bore of it with floral
decorations, and smearing the fore
part of the muzzle with white Gin
nabar and oil. The gun is enrich
ed by inscriptions and devices in
the flolid style which characterizes
Oriental workmanship, and the
portions thus ornamented present
a surface SO smooth and glossy as
to be absolutely slippery. 1t will
contain five persons without much
crowding, but those who resort to
it as resting place are frequently
driven out by a blow on the out
side of the gun by some lover of
mischief. The sounds and yibra-
tions of q blow on the outside are
appalling, and the persons within
come ont as rapidly as if a charge
of powder had been exploded in
the gun. II is said by the natives
around Bediapoor that the gun
has an equal IN size at Poonah

Tallahatchie Lcvec Meeting.

At a meeting of the citizens of
Tallahatchie county living in Dis
trict No. l, on motion of Mr.. jerry
Robinson, Mr.. Weldon Hawkins
was called to tho chair.
On motion, the chair appointed
Mcssrs. Webb, Christman and Rob
inson TO draft resolutions embody-
ing the sentiments of the meeting |;
which was 10 this effect:
In pursuance of call from TIT
MICA county, we have this day met
in convention at Swan Lake and
we resolve,
That we have been so much
gouged heretofore in levce taxss
las we believe) that we are not in
favor of any further legislation
upon the subject, unless taken up
by tho State or United States
feeling that the small amount OF
land in cultivation can not pay the
amount necessary to build lcvees
to protect us; though wehope the
State or general Government may
take the thing in hand, and that
the work would bea source of rev
enue to the State and the govern.
ment of the United States.
Resolved, That the Clarion and
Tallahatchie Sentinel-Advocate be
requested to publish these pro
ceedings.
Resolved, That Mr.. j. i. Webt

Judah z. BENJAMIN.

\ correspondent writes that
when the banquet to Mr.. J. P. Ben
jamin comes OFF in London, the
Lord Mayors banquets at Guild
hall, which hitherto have borne
the palm of the greatest feeding
occasions of Great Britain, will
sink into comparative insigniti-
canee. The bench and bar engage
in this dinner TO do Mr.. BENJAMIN
honor. The proposal came from
the Lord Chancellor and was Sec
onded with such rapidity and so
generally that every Judge in En-.
gland and Scotland, and some from
Wales, have subscribed, and their
numberis increased by the queens
counsel and other barristers to the
number of 1900 within a lew days.
1t is reasonable to suppose that
fully 1000 covers will be spread,
and as the price is five guineas-
twenty-five dollars-you can see
that the dinner is going to be a
swell one, at least an expensive
one. Mr.. Benjamin's retirement
from practice pas been the subject
of the most general regret and
generous comment in the press of
the country. Every newspaper in
England has published at least one
leader about him, and such maga-
zines as the Fortnightly, Nine
teenth Century and others, have
made him the subject of analytical
and commendatory sketches.
A summary of his fee.book,
made up year by year since 1867,
shows that he has in sixteen years
received fees amounting to $780,
0i4:7S. In 1867 they amounted to
a trihe more than S2,025, and in
1880, his most profitable year, to
s10,S56:20. One of his most i'm
portant cases was the Irish Fish.

Ths Interesting Prophecy Of a. English
Clergyman.
detroit Free Press

fNNitAt IAN0 ANoos
Some people often wish that
they were dead, and it this involv-
ed their living by.and.by instead
of now, how many will wish it, on
reading the prophecy of the Rev.
Mr.. Fincke, an English clergyman
who travelled much in America ten
years ago. lie now ventures to
tell what he thinks is to be the fu-
ture of "Englishry,n by which he
means the English speaking peo-
pies on the globe century hence.
He calculates by that time there
will be one thousand millions of
them living under the same nsti-
tutions and cherishing the same
ideas, social aud political, in the
United States, Canada, Australia,
South Africa, aud Great Britain.
The s0O,OOO,OOd which he assigns
to the United States will overflow
into Canada. into Mexico, Guate-
mala, Colombia, Bolivia, and Peru,
afterward into the valley of the
Amazon, along the whole range of
the Andes, into the islands of. the
Pacific, across which they will join
hands with their kindred in New
Zealand aud Australia. The Eng
lish settlements in South Africa,
now essentially American, will
spread over southern Africa, push
ing tho natives to the equator.
The American farmer is to furnish
the type of tins new society. There
will be no savages or serfs, few
drones or men of luxury; all be
able to read and write and to use
their requirements. They will
have homes of their own, andpr0p-
erty enough of the very best and
most educative kind-that is in
land--to yield to their intellectual
industry sufficient means of sup
port. They will have no social OF
political superiors, and will manag,
their own affairs. There will bS
few or none looking forward to {
pauper's fate. The lives Of tn,
majority will he spent in the cult
vation of their own lands on thu
same terms which the America,
farmer now cultivates his.
Morality will in this society hav'
a tremendous force, because ther,
will be only one morality for al
and not as now u separate moralit.
