The wife Of Senator Harris, of In
diana, has decorated is china dinner
plates by painting on each different
bird and on the border of the plate a
verse in old English text of poetry.
This novelty is said to have the ad-
vantage, as each verse is one which is
little quoted, of suggesting topics of
conversation at a dinner party when
the plates are used-an inestimabie
boon on such occasions.

Stockholders in Broken Bank.

Pall Mail Gazette.
The publication of the list of prop
rielors of the Oriental bank is u
painful reminder of one of the most
tragic elements Of commercial disas-
ters. Most of the shareholders, of
whom there are nearly 200, coo, are
said 10 maiden ladies, widows, doc
tors, clergymen, etc, whose holdings
run from two TO fifty shares. Every
one of those unfortunate persons,
must now pay 925 per share, and the
majority of them are as capable OF
doing this as they are of buying the
kohinoor The widespread misery
which such collapse entails is no
doubt one of those reasons which in
duce directors to carry on to the last
moment, instead of putting up the
shutters as soon as they see the geme
is up, but it is doubtful whether iu
the long run less misery is inflicted
owing to their des perate attempt to
postpone tho inevitable.
The largest demand for public docu-
ments and Government publications
comes from libraries and SPECIALISTS.
Under the law, as it stands, all public
documents regularly issued at the
Government Printing Office are ac-
cessible to the general public on pay
ments of costs with 10 per cent. added.
This is for those who are not fortunate
enough to have them sent to them by
Representative or Senators. The cost,
therefore, of a public ducument dire ct
can be estimated when il is stated that
the large quarto volume of the Re
vIsed Statutes can be obtained from
the Public Printer for little over S4.
The booksellers price would be not
less than SIS; Anglim and other
dealers at Washington will charge 81
or IS. The great volumes of the Cen
sus. so far issued, are sold at from $3
to Sc each; later they will be cheaper
From January to October, 1883. there
were 207 papers or documents issued

The other day certain bank presi-
ident sailed for Europe, but il was not
mentioned in the papers, because he
had not suddenly come, or rather gone,
into possession Of the banks money.
II seems strange that bank president
never receives a newspaper notice an
less he steals.

THE press, especially the boiling re-
publican press is making a good deal
of sport of the attenp. of the party
organs to make "plgmed knight
out of man who belonged to draft
society during the war and when
drafted had substitute procured in
order that he might keep safe dis
tance from the enemy. This IS re
garded as rather poor stuff out Of
which to manufacture 'plumed
knight"

Soon after tie killing of j. P. Mat

resolutions, We promised our readers
if We couli ever obtain fair and
impartial statement of the Copiah
troubles we would publish it. Else
where in to-dsy's paper will be found
a communication written to the
Vicksburg Post about a month ago,
and prefacel by the Posts own com
Eents thereon, which we believe
does this. Substantially the same
statements set forth in this commu-
nication have been related to us per-
sonally by several citizens of Copiah
county of either poll ical party, and
We therefore consider them sJ and
impartial. AS to the comments OF
the Post, like great many other
views and sentiments set forth By
that most excellent journal, We can
adopt them as our own, and will
therefore not eIlarge the subject
here. Next week we will give a Sc
cond and concluding letter from
"Fair Play" on the same subject. j.

As a matter OF general interest We
print below a communication pur;-
I porting to give q Truthful statement
Of the killing Of j., Z. Matthews and
of the bad condition, af politics in
Copiah county The correspondent
bears us out Ia the opinion express
ed weeks ago, that the good people
! of Copiah county do not approve Of
the killing Of Matthews, When the
good and quiet people of that county
haze the opportunity they will re
buke those who are now carrying
things with such high hand and
who pretend to represent the true
sentiment Of the people of that un-
fortunate county. From the facts
developed and statements from all
sources, in regard TO the killing, 1t
would be strange il even Commun-
itv of savages could honestly
sanction such a terrible murder; and
when the pres sure ceases. and the
true sentiment of the people finds
expression, i. will be found that a
large majority of the citizens of Co
p,ah are utterly opposed to the kill
ing and to the resolutions Of the
Hazlehurst mass meeting. The
writer of the communication is q
Democrat, and opposed the Mat
thews party in the recent election.
Our correspondent gives his
views in regard to the question of
suffrage, and favors DISTINGUISHING
and colonizlng the negroes. The
suffrage and race question is a
problem that puzzles our great
statesman. A few years ago, when
the exodus Of negroes to Kansas was
threatened, according to our recol-
lection the Democratic politicians
and newspapers were generally OPP
posed to the negroes leaving the
State. Individually, we were then in
favor of making 20 attempt to dis
suade the negroes from leaving the
State; possibly our State would have
been better Oft il all of them had
gone.
The Republicans of the Northern
States also complain Of the evils en-
gendered by ignorant suffrage, and
charge that the Democratic party in
that section contains large element
of ignorance.
But we have large negro popula-
ton in our State, and the dominant
party and race should trea: them with
kindness and justice in all business
relations Wisdom and prudence
should be exercised SO as not To
infringe upon the political rights
of any one. OF course our people
do not want and will not submit to
q rule of ignorance and corruption,
but this can be averted without
committing such u terrible murde: 3

The question OF State jurisdiction
is at present engaging the attention
of the beneficial Order Of Knights of
Honor in this State. AS related to
the order, the question has reference
to the advise bility of the members
throughout the United States being
assessed for the death of each person
in the Union, or whether adopting
State jurisdiction, each State shall
he assessed and pay only for the
death occurring in the particular ter
ritory. Since It's organization the
| first procedure has been the practice,
but it is claimed that the burden Of
assessment falls on the northern
members, and they pay more in pro-
portion than the southern members.
There are 100000 members Of the
order in America, and at the death
of each member benefit of So 900 is
raid to the heirs of the deceased. In
Texas, it is claimed, men die so fire.

oUher violent agencies, that the su-
preme Jurisdictions treasury is

it tor the benefits, and the STATE is

We believe it was Mr.. BreckeL-
riC &c Of Kentucky, who, when this
question was once brought before the
Supreme Lodge, proposed as a solu-
tiol that if the Northern brethren
were not satisfied, that they do the
dying awhile and let the Sou;hcrners
do the paying. The suggestion pro-
dIced much amusement and the sub
jrct was dropped.
