Shortly after the Chinese Lega-
ton arrived in this city, and located
in their present quarters,a ventursome
beggar made bold, and approaching
the door of the legal building knock
ed timidly. The aperture was opened
by a servant, who with series of
Oriental gestures and bows, much to
the surprise of the beggar, ushered
him into one of the magniiicently
furnished parlors, and summoned a
member of the diplomatic body.
When the latter appeared the solicit
tor of aims arose and stretched out
his hand, indicating palmer than words
could tell the nature of his mission.
Judge his further surprise when the
Chinese official not only gave him a
liberal amount from his own purse,
but took up a collection through the
house for his benefit, and then made
him partake of refreshments, consist
ing mainly of Chinese CONNECTIONS
The beggar went away highly elated
at the SNAP he had struck, and it
was not long before the liberality Of

since poured in upon the Cinnamon

The Railroad Question.
Jackson State LEDGER

Jackson State Ledger.l
In sending us copy Of the report
on railroad transportation, made by
DR.. j. NJ. Bailey, of Massachusetts,
whichwe regret is too lengthy for our
columns, a friend writes: "What
Mississippi wants is more railroads,
more competition, more energetic
farmers, more diversity of produc>
tions, more corn, hogs, cattle, sheep,
grass and small grains more fruits
and vegetables grown produce more
to live upon less saloons and more
school houses. IT'S the best country
iu the world for farmers with mode
rate means to grow independent in,
If they practic economy and thrift,
devote more time to agricultural pur
suits and less to politics more time
to fertilizng and enriching their lands
buy less on credit and buy nothing
they can do without, deal on q cash
basis, and consider their credit worth
more than money.
When Mississippi has,as she ought
to have, 5000 miles of railroads open
ing up different portions of the State,
these railroads will supervise each
other; as the traffic increases in
volume, rates will decrease in ratio.
The larger q volume of business a
railroad has to do the cheaper it can
afford to do it. Transportation, like
all other business, is a common sense
business and DR.. Bailey's report
treats Of it from that standpoint.

The Fight Com menced.

The Railroad Commissioners Of
Tennessee have demanded free passes
of all the railroads in that State, be-
cause the law provides they shall
have them. What a ridiculous law !
The railroad Presidents have declined
to issue the passes, we are glad to
state. 1t is a beautiful law that res
quires you to invite a man in your
own house to stab you! We are
astonished that tho, solons of the
Legislature that secured the passage
of the bill did not require the rail-
roads, in addition to free passes, to
furnish special sleepers, with ret>
inue of porters, free meals at all eat
ing houses, wines, cigars, etc, for
the Commissioners. 1t is no harm to
rob railroad, some people think.
There is a fair prospect for a good
deal of fun over the supervision
question in Tennessee. - Jachson

Somebody.

Somebody thinks the world all wrong
And never has word in its praise;
Somebody sings the whole day long,
Likes the world and all its ways.
Somebody says it's Il queer old place,
Where none of the people do us they
should,
Then somebody thinks il full of grace
And wouldn't change the folks if he
could.
Somebody calls it cruel and cold,
Fun of sin and sorrow and PAIN.
Where life is but a search for gold
And souls are lost in selfish gain.
Somebody merrily laughs-and cries,
"Hurrah for such dear old earth,
Success shall crown the man who tries
To make his mark by honest WORTH
Somebody groans and shakes his head,
Calls his lot wretched one
Somebody wishes that he were dead,
Cause somebody else has all the fun.
But still, fancy, you're sure to find,
Thro' good or evil, or pain or care,
One certain fact--so make up your mine
That-Somebody always gets his share

The Proper Position for Sleep
ing

A German, Baron Reichenbach, has
occupied many years in studying the
art of bed making, or rather bed placing,
and maintains that improperly placed
beds will shorten mans life. He says:
If mere magnet exercises an influence
on sensitive persons, the earth's magne'
tism must certainly make itself felt on
the nervous life of man. In whatever
hemisphere you may be always sleep
with your feet to the equator, and let
your body lie "true as a needle to the
pole" The proper direction OF the body
is of the utmost importance for the pros
per circulation of the blood, and many
disturbances in the organisms have been
cured by simply placing the bolster in
different point of the compass from that
it had occupied. Let such as have
hithero been in the habit of sleeping
with their heads where their feet ought
to be, take to heart the example of the
late Dr.. Fischwester, of Madg burg, who
died recently at the age OF 100 years.
The most unhealthy position, we are
told, is when the body lies due east and
west. Some observers assure us that to
sleep in such posture is tantamount to
committing suicide, and that diseases
are often aggravated by deviatons from
the proper posture. London World.

An English expert says the popular
idea of the terrible str, myth of dynamite
is Iaughable. He says that if a ton of
nitro glycerine was exploded in Lon-
don street it would not do more than
break few windows outside of the im-

At one time he stood within sixty yards
of ton OF the article when it exploded.
The glycerine was ten feet under ground
and only broke few windows and burst
few doors The expert was covered
with sand, but received not even a

Some one has gone from this strange
world of ours
No more to gather it's thorns with its
flowers,
No more to linger where sunbeams must
fade,
Where in all beauty Deaths fingers are
laid,
Weary with mingling life's bitter with

Weary with parting and never to meet,
Some one has gone to the bright golden

Some one is resting from sorrow and sin,
Happy where earth's conflicts enternot in
Joyous rs birds when the morning is

When the sweet sunbeams have brought

Weary of sowing and never to reap,
Weary of labor and welcoming sleep,

One who walks with them in Heavens
bright street,
Loved ones have whispered that some

One less to cherish, one less to kiss,
One more departed for Heavens bright
