"Can't something be done to preserve the
town pumps?" inquired tho thirsty individual.
" You see" he continued, that if it wasn't
for the town pumps the poor population
in this city would suffer untold hardship
in such warm weather as we have had for the
last two weeks. In the first place, the Poto-
mac water is not good in summer unless it
has been preserved in brewery or distil.
lery for proper length of time, and such
process of getting the small bugs and other
impurities out of 1t is altogether too costly for
the poorer part Of our population, and not
good as steady mode of quenching the
thirst of even the more favored portion. The
good wells are few and far between, and the
condemned ones are getting more numerous
every year. If the commissioners would
spend a little more time in endeavoring to
give the citizens more pure wells, and less
time to tunnols,and aqueducts,a and reservoirs,
and standpipes, / think they would come
nearer pleasing the people. At least we
could get pure water easy and plenty of it,"

ant Surprise.

Last Tuesday evening about dark
the neighbors and friends OF the
dear old Baptist pastor ut Moss
Point, DIR. B. L. Henton, and those
of his good wife and family, began
assembling at his residence, each
one with package of some kind
with them, and shortly the house
was crowded with the best people
of the town. The packages were
deposited in the dining room, and
an inspection of the articles after
all were in, showed that there had
been presented most all kinds OF
provisions, from box of yeast pow
ders to barrel of -four, aud such
a quantity one would hardly imag-
inc. Some brought money in lieu
Of provisions, the amount OF which
reached about $50.
This generous outpouring Of the
people was not confined to the Bap-
tist denomination alone, but Meth
odists, Presbyteriaus and the other
denominations were represented,
among whom were the pastors of
the Methodist and Presbyterian
churches. The evening was pleas
autly spent in social conversation,
and all felt rejoiced at the happy
reunion Of the people, and returned
to their homes feeling better for
their pleasant surprise of a good
man aud happy family.

THE CUTION BELT.
Radical Changes i'm S0uthern Farming
Recommended by 81. Loafs
Merchants.

ST. LOUIS, February 26.-TwenIy 1eedine
cotton factors in this city, embracing the
principal officers of the Cotton Exchsnye,
published yesterday an address 10 merch ants,
farmers and tenants of the cotton bell, in
which they advise some radical changes in
the manner Of farming and dong business
in the South. The chief cause OF the lack
OF prosperity in these States ar: First, the
present credit system, which forces planters
and tenants to pay extravagant prices for
supplies, etc, and TO rush their crops to mar
ket in such quantities as to bfesk price,, Of
tentimes below the cost of production; eec.
ond, the oyerproduciion OF cotton. This,
they think, is the keynote 10 the whole So
luton, and they strongly urge every body in
terested In Southern prosperity TO discourage
the planting OF large acreage of cotton
this year. Food products, they say, are
what the Southern planters most need, and
they advise, fret of all, the raising OF grain,
cattle and hogs, and give the rem inder
OF their time, if taey have any, to
the growing of cotton. They show
that the present price OF cotton
is fifteen per cent. below the average of the
past five years, and that corn is thirty-lhree
and provisions fifty per cent. absve the av-
erage, thus causing the mere cotton raiser 10
lose largely in two ways. They contend
that thus producing cotton and an increased
production OF bread, meat and other kinds
OF food, will bring about more prosperous
coalition OF the South, and they ask mer-
chants and planters to call a convention aud
asitate the question throughout tho cotton
bslt.

OF her children, etc. Now, her marriage license
was lost; she was married some twenty years ago
in New Orleans by justice of the peace. the

did she know in what district she had been mar

marriage. have written several times TO the au-

be found. Although we proved by af1idavits of
had lived here in Memphis for many years, and
always as man and wife; that the man declared
her TO be his lawful wife, and that the children
were his. But all in vain. The German authorities
wanted Legal documents, not only of the marriage
bat also Of the legitimacy of the children, which
we could not produce, as there does not exist such
q record And thus the matter stands to-day, and
neither the widow nor her children can obtain the
money, which amounts TO several thousand
dollars.
Another case is that with Mrs. sueehten, whom
you know. Her father and mother are both dead.
she is entitled to her parents heritage. but she has
to produce the documents OF legitimacy. Inc
physician and midwife who attended her mother
at her birth are both dead, but fortunate

her since she was a baby, and especially an Old
lady who present at her birth II will state
here for Col Patterson, that the matter will come

penses; TO prevent this, and also for the reason
that the money should come into our country
