meets, to declare what was the
meaning of this payment to Chal-
mers. Either he received it as an
impOrtunate beggar, Orhe received
it as a corrupt consideration for a
political service to be rendered.
In either case surely Chalmers is
unfit TO occupy a seat in Congress.
We notice that Mr.. Manning his
opponent, has given notice that
though he has the certificate he
will not take the seat or allow
the clerk to put his name placed
on the roll of the House until the
House until shall affirm and declare
his right. That, at least, is honor
able conduct, aud in strong con-
trast with the course of Mr.. Chal-
mers. There are evidently two
kinds of Mississipians. We trust
the House, when ii meets, will de-
clare the election void, and let a
new one be held.

Heavy Rainfall at New Orleans.

New Orleans, April IA heavy
rain and thunder storm occurred
this morning. Water covers the
rear of the city. During the storm
q break occurred in the levee just
below the Texas and Pacific depot
at Gouldsboro, nearly opposite
the head of Louisiana avenue.
The break is $50 feet wide and Z
feet deep. The wind during the
storm drove water over the leyees
opposite the city in many places.
The rain was the heaviest since
1877. Five and sixty.three hun.
dredths inches fell iu three and a
half hours. The town of Goulds.
bOro is Hooded three to six feet.
The track of the Algiers and
Gouldsboro dummy line is washed
out. The water ran over the levee
along the Algiers front from Har-
vey's canal to a point opposite the
head of Canal street, flooding a
large portion of Algiers, doing
much damage. The street rail
roads are still running.
NrGnT.-The government gauge
at the head of Canal street shows
the river even with the great flood
of 1874, being five inches higher
than it was last year. Most OF the
wharves proper, that is the plank
ing in front of the levees, are COW
cred with water, and steamers in
many cases have to land freight
100 feet further out than usual.
The water at several points along
the city front passes over the le-
wees and into the cutters. Sever
al small breaks in the leyees have
been closed. Little or no damage
has been done.

Anecdote OF John Marshall.

The invitation to go to Washing.
ton with Judge Story did not i'm.
ply any promise of attention after
we arrived in that city, as he was
careful to point out when receiy.
cd il.
"The fact is,' said he, " | can do
very little for you there, as we
judges take no part in the society
Of the place. We dine once u
year with the president, and that
is all. On other days we take our
dinner together, aud discuss at the
table the questions which are
argued before us. We are great
aesthetics, and even deny ourselves
wine, except in wet weather"
Here the judge paused, as If think
ing the act of modification he had
mentioned placed too severe a
tax upon human credulity, and
presently added:
"What | say about the wine, sir,
gives our rule: but 1t does some
times happen that the Chief JUS
tice will say to me when the cloth
is removed:
" Brother Story, step to the
window and see If it does not look
like rainn
"And If | tell him the sun Il
shining brightly, Judge Marshall
will sometimes reply:
All the better; for our jurisdic
ton extends over so large a terri
tory that the doctrine Of chances
makes il certain that II must be
raining somewhere, and il will be
safe to take something,n-From

Four Very Smart Foxes.

Lewistown (Maiue) Journal.
One of our fox hunters gave a
Journal scribe the following ac.
count of an adventurous day afeld:
One morning last week as | was
crossing lots with my hound, l
saw an old red run into thicket.
/ put the dog on his track and
concealed myself in the thicket,
knowing that a fox will often circle
and pick up his old track. Icould
hear the hound baying way off to-
ward New Gloucester. Then it
changed and grew more autl more
distinct, and | knew the fox was
returning. | must have waited
some half an hour when saw the
fox dart into a hollow log q little
distance to my left, but as he went
out the other end, / remained in
my hiding place, supposing it to
be a trick of the fox to put the dog
off his track. The dog was puz-
zled only an instant, and followed
the fox on a longer circuit this
time, but in the course of All hour
l saw it again enter one end of the
log and out at the other. Thinks
1, "my chap, III play youa Yankee
trick by stopping up the further
end of that log" This l did, and
again hid myself, hoping for third
return. was hidden about the
same length of time when, by the
voice of my dog l knew the fox
was returning. A few moments
later | saw the fox enter the log.
L ran up TO the open emu, anu soon
had it secured. This being done l
awaited the coming of the dog,
which / tied to a sappling, while l
went out to get an axe. ! soon
got back and opened the log suf-
ficiently to see four foxes instead
of one. "How was that 7" "Plain
enough. One fox would run until
tired, then enter the log. and all
other would take his place." "But
why did not the hound bay the
three in the logp "The trail was
too hot. vOu see,D

Sharing Newspapers in England.
London Letter.l

Another feature in the news
paper business is the practice that
obtains of hiring papers. Ny next
door neighbOr is a well salaried
cashier in the London and County
Bank. He shares the Standard,

dealer across the street, who in
turn takes the Observer Oh Sun

take in the Times, Standard, News,
Advertiser, in the morning, and
the Pail Mall, Globe and Echo in
the evening, with the weekly pa
pers and Observer; and my news
dealer informs me l take more pa
pers than forty families he serves
out of nearly one thousand custo-
mers. They are great economists
here in small way; but in con-
trast what a salary they must pay
Phyllis BrOughton to act in order
that she should show such dia-
monds. BY the way, my banker
neighbor sent me a very formal
note offering to pay one-third Of
the price of the Times if | would
send it to him on the day after the
date of issue. He was shocked
when / told him that when had
scanned the Times cut out what
| wanted and threw the rest away.
In a side street near my house
there are six families who take one
Times. The price is l shilling and
6 pence per week, or 3 pence each,
and they take turns in having the
paper first. The man who gets it
for the first hour and half in the
morning will be the last to have it
on the next day, and then it will
be two days old. Oh, the public
press is great institution and a
great educator of the masses here.
The public houses and the restau-
rants all take in the papers, but
they are not read very closely, l
fear, no one man being allowed to
hold a paper more than fifteen
minutes if any one else wants to
get it.

The Water Still Flowing Over the
Leyee at New Orleans.

New Orleans, April 9.-The rear
portion of the Third District still
is overhowed from rain water and
the effects of the high tide in the
lakes. The flow of water through
Gouldsbora crevasse is reduced
and will be entirely checked du.
ring the night. The river to-day
again reached the flood height of
1874, and water ran over the levee.
At several points sandbags were
used to prevent water from flow
ing into the city.

Party Names and Changes.
For the Greenville Times.

For the Greenville Times.
We have seen in some papers
and read Of the wish and desire OF
some old broken down politicians
to found and inaugurate a new
party. This is an impossible un.
dertaking. They may adopt a new
name and prOmulgate a series OF
resolutions, aud define their poll
cy; ON examination nothing will
be found new, or what has not
been tested or advocated before.
All political, religious, and social
parties, beliefs and doctrines can
be divided into two and no more
parts.
AT the time of the Inauguration
OF our government, there were
two eminent, able and prominent
citizens-each the representative
and head of party or a conflict.
These two distinguished men were
Hamilton and Jefferson. Each rep
resented and inculcated two diffe-
rent and antagonistic modes of
thought. Jefferson, "a sceptic by
nature. education and observation,
saw the whole people of Europe
ignorant, enslaved, depressed, re-
garded as property, and he looked
for the cause and said it was the
work of the tyranny of the crown
and the church. The one enslaved
and oppressed; the other kept
them ignorant from selfish mo-
tives. He proposed an effectual
remedy to destroy both crown and
church, and give all power to the
people. Let them control govern
ments and each individual think
and act for himself in church and
State. He adopted as his creed
an eternal hostility against every
form of tyranny over the minds
Of men. Hamilton saw the same,
but he had different remedy.
He did not wish to destroy either
church or State. He wanted to
separate them, and each to admin.
lister its own appropriate duties,
and not to intermeddle with each
others functions. He did not be-
lieve that the. people should have
all the power; that they were in
capable of exercising it judiciously
or honestly. He was willing to
give them sufficient power to pro-
tect themselves from injustice and
oppression, but not enough to op.
press. He did not rebel or fight
against the King Of England, but
against bad, incompetent ministers
who were abusing and misleading
the King. The history of parties
in this country is the same old
contest. Whether to give more
or less power to the general gov.
ernment or to the people-the
same great conflict that has been
going on since the beginning of
history.

An Idol Smashed.

[Newburyport (Massachusetts) Herald
A series of revival meetings was
in progress, and the subject one
evening was the book of Ruth,
Among the preachers was a bro
ther whom the sisters delighted
to hear. His language was always
grandly eloquent. Wait.
ing for his chance, hc at length
arose and said: Brethren and
sisters, the subject for the even.
ing is the book of Ruth. And do
you know | never turn to the book
of Ruth without thought coming
to my mind that there II lies, like
a beautiful jewel, between the er.
mine of the judges and the purple
of the kings" Such an exquisite
thought did not fail to have its eff.
feet upon his admiring hearers.
Later in the evening an elderly
clergyman came in, and after list
ening to the remarks for some
time arose and said: "My friends,
whenever | turn to the book of
Ruth am always reminded of that
beautiful quotation from Taylor,
that IL lies, like lovely jewel, be-
tween the ermine of the judges
and the purple of the kiDgs.'
And he sat down blissfully un-
aware of the idol he had smashed.

National Republican,
The stars are shining bright above,
Ger western wllds pale Luna sweeps
Her lonely watch fair Cynthia keeps.
And broods upon her maiden love.
Heaven help thee In thy piteous plight
Oh, Cynthia, fair as summer skies,
Compose thy sorrow, wipe thine eyes,
Rinaldo will not come tonight.
For in the mldnight's solemn hush
lie hreathes vow that smells Of wine
He holds hand that Is not thine,
And dallies with-a bobtail flush.
