that such sentiments are shared by lead ing citizens We know nothing of MT Parks, but are willing to wager that his sword was very quiet during the war He may be brave, like a hog, but his words are the words of co~ard Of one thing we are certain: That the peo- pie of his community do no, share his sentiments, if sentiments such jargon can be termed.
 The objectionable article, a clipping from an exchange, told how Mir Jeffer- son Davis arose in h,s might of indigna- ton, and choked an insolent soldier who had been detached to guard him. MT. Davis himself could not take offense at the article.
 Mir. Parks imparts pleasan, piece of information when he says " No south ern man would use either of your skulls for a spittoon." We can conceive Ct nothing more uncomfortable than the man whose skull is used for spittoon. It lowers a man in the estimation of his neighbors. and incapacitates him for business. However. the skulls of some men might be improved in this way, and it strikes us that if Mir Parks would sub init to such treatment he might. in time, be elevated to the intellectual dignity of an

WHY THE CASE WENT OVER

Colonel w. r. Grace. of Pine Bluff. Arkansaw, lawyer of fine abilities and d gentleman of high cultivation, was al one time, though happily no, now, somewha. addicted to lifting glass with " here's to you" comment On one occasion hfs convivial frankness vas the cause of his taking up temporary so- Journ in Jail. During a session of court, held by the late Judge Murray, Colonel Grace was called in to defend man in- dicted for assault with intent to kill. When he made his appearance the julge, at once observing that he was tired, :" regretted having called him.
 Colonel Grace" said his honor, "this case can go over If 1t suits your convenience.
 No, sir, we are ready to go into trial v
 But, persisted the judge, winking at the prosecuting attorney. II don't think you are ready"
 Your honor, said the prosecuting attorney, understanding the judges pro- test, - am n favor of the case going over.
 I'm not, exclaimed Colonel Grace. ;" The witnesses are all here, and wan, to go on with the case. =
 don't think that you are in eondi- ton to attend the case"
 Why, sir" demanded the colonel, with an air of confidence.
 If you mus, know. i, Is because you are too drunk
 The colonel, straigh,ening himself, re- piled: " If this court says tha, am drunk, this court is a d-d liar
 A few minutes later. the colonel was in the county Jail, having, in addition to im- prisonment, been fined fifty dollars He was soon released and taken to a hotel. When court convened that day. Colonel Grace. upon answering to his name, arose and said
 Your honor, yesterday. in conse- quence of drunkeness, used contemptu- ous language. for which l was fined fifty dollars and sen, to the lail am a man in mature life, and yesterday was the first time that ever so far forgot myself IS 10 cast reflections on a court of justice and l now desire 10 say. that indorse the action of rho eourf and rsou>xt .ha, the fine of fifty dollars be not remit ted
 " will remit the me-" said the judge
 |" No, your honor, should be made to pay 1t. ani it is my earnest desire that ;ou do not remit it.
 The hne was paid, and whether or not h's had direct tendency to turn a career Ne cannot say. bu, Colonel Grace is now ,ne of the mos, influential and consistent reform workers in the state.

A TALE OF SORROW.

Old Mrs. Beberly mourned for years. Henry, her only son, stalwart young fellow with the fire of bravery in his eyes, answered his county's call, took up arms against a sea of political trouble and fought for the south. The young man had begun to distinguish himself when, from the held of Gettysburg, the poor widow received letter conveying the in- ,elligence that brave Henry was dead No longer had this sacrificing woman any interes, in the struggle Her all had been swept away and now she cared not who was hung to sour apple tree. She soon discovered that without her sons remains she could never again enjoy that exuberance of appetite which had distin- guished her in days of yore. In :his fond endeavor she did no, succeed for many months. She offered large reward for her sons bones, together with a certih- ate of genuineness. One of her friends. d near neishbor, pitied her condition of lonely grief and dejection. He would 20 to the battle field and recover the bones He would know Heny's bones anywhere. He went, and after a long ab- senee returned with the osseous for nation of the brave young man. Aside from his own ability to recognize the bones. the sympathetic neighbor had re- oeived certificates from soldiers who ae- companied the chivalric gentleman to his untimely grave. The poor wi1ow was delighted-that is. as much so as any tender hearted woman could be over the skeleton of a loved son and heir to hand some piece of property. Locking her selt in the room that had formerly been his, she wepi in grea, enjoyment, tor with most women. after certain wire edge season. grief Is sor, ot melancholy pleasure.
