Speaking of the prehistoric minis
in Claiborne county, now attracting
considerable attention, the Port
Gibson R-veille says:
Quite large party left town on
Wednesday to explore the much
talkrd of prehistoric ruins, in the
Brandywne region. We have con-
versed with some of them and they
seem to think that the walls 50 called
of ancient Notifications and lOrdly
castles are simply continuous beds
of rock, with here and there layers
80 shaped rs to give The idea of hav
ing come from tue hands Of the
artisan. On the other hand, qnite It
number of the explorers are per
suaded that the 40 called ruins bears
unquestionable evidence of a prehis
tore structure either city or for
LITIGATION 1t is worthy ofa thorough
investigation. The scenery around
the once famous Brandywine SPRING
in Delaware, is very much like the
rough scenery around the Brandy
wine Springs in our county, and it is
not unlikely that Chief Justice Rod,
ney, of Delaware, and of the Missis
sippi Territory, named tb" place.

UDcIeanIincss Of the Afghan.

The Afghans are a dirty race. In
this they preseAs a contrast to the
Hindoos, who are, perhaps, the clean
est people in the world. The climate
Of Afghanistan is cold in the winter,
and perhaps their wild life may have
something to DO with it. They have
such an adherence of water that they
never bring 1t in contact with their
bodies. Being Mohammedans, they
are bound to do certain additions by
.heir faith, but they find substitutes,
which are al owed instead Of water.
There is one tribe which gets only
three garments in life time, the gar
ment Icing in each case blanket.
The first is given at birth, the second
at marriage, the third before ihey die.
Each blanket is understood to have
been ceaselessly worn llevents emit
tie the wearer to u new one. Clean
clothes and the washing of them are
not entirely unknown in Afghanistan,
for they have a term which implies a
gentleman; and it is characteristic.
They call him a SuiTaid Posh, which
means white or clean dress.-Ex.

QUITE A NUAIBFR of our citizens
are preparing articles for exhibition
at the New Orleans Cotton Centen-
NAL, but are doing it in such a quiet
way that the public knows nothing
of it. We were yesterday shown the
plan of beautiful cabinet, made of
Walnut maple and other woods, that
is being Prepared for the centennial,
which when completed will be as
pretty as a picture sure enough. i
will stand about six feet seven inches
high, and when completed will be a
magnificent specimen of ingenious
handiwork. We doubt not that the
gentleman who has it in hand will eN-
hibit it in this city when completed
before he sends it to New OrIeauS.
We have also been told of several
other persons who are preparing eN-
hibits, and the chances now seem to
be that our city and county will be
represented at tAe centennial with
one of the most attractive,uuque and
beautiful exhibits at that great
worlds fair.-Natchez Democrat.

After the combination had been
effected between he friends of Lewis
and Barry, ut tn 4th Dist Cor gres>
aional Convention at Grenada 'ast
week, which assured the latters nom
nation, Hon. C. Mitchel's delegation
held a caucus and resolved to with
draw his name and cast his vote for
Lewis. When Gen. G Y. Freeman
announced their determination there
was great enthusiasm and much eX-
citement, which lasted fully twenty
minutes. For time 1t looked Ike
the convention had been captured by
storm, aud that the pressure Vas so
great that Noxubee would be com
PEELED to disregard the agreement
and by casting her vote for Lewis,
nominate him. There was strong
pressure brought to bear on NoXu-
gees delegation by Mitcheli's
friends. They tola tAem that they
now placed it in their power to nom
mate their man, all they had to do
was to vote for him and he would be
nominated, and if he was defeated It
would he by his own county, which
ND to that time had voted solldly Tor
him. 1t was truly trying time for
Noxubee. Her delegation realized
that by little crooke 'ness, Lewis
could be nominated, bni under l. WI
advice they held the agreement
sacred. They were honorable men
and felt bound by it, Lewis told
them that he did not desire the nom
ination under those circumstances;
that his name had been Withdrawn
with the understanding That Noxu
bees vote should be given Barry
The vote on last ballot stood twenty
and one half FIR Barry and nineteen
and one sixth for Lewis In these
days of political chicanery and cor
ruption. the nction of Lewis ant
Noxubee county is commendable, anC
will receive as it deserves, the ad
miration of MI honorable men,
