Some Modern Authors.

Luther, in his Table Talk, tells Of
a certain lazy monk, too idle to say
his prayers, who used to repeat the
alphabet, and then add: "Take, 0
Lord, these letters, and then put
them together even as thou wilt"
Some Of our modern hazy and OBJ
scure poets, with their chaotic
thoughts and half-told visions, seem
to have initiated this labor-saving
monk. Instead Of spending years of
toll upon their verse, till happy con-
ceptions are welded to apt express
sion, they virtually say to their read
ers: '"Take these poetical ideas and
these poesical terms, and put them
together to your fancy" Another
class of writer's, prose and poetical,
who have rare mastery of style,
but only trivial or commonplace
ideas, remind one of Thackery's de-
scription of George ", viz, "A
waistcoat, an underwaistcoat, anoth-
er underwaistcoat, and then
nothing"

The working classes of Mobile, in
a paper addressed to the New Or
leans Times-Democrat, state that
many who wish to go to the Exposi-
ton are unable 10 do SO for want Of
cheap transportation, and ask that
railroad fare be reduced to one cent
mile. We hope that all the rail-
roads will comply. We don't think
they would lose by the reduction.

VALUABLE LANDS PLACED ON THE
MARKET,


Two hundred aud fifty thousand
acres of land, located in the cOun-
ties of Jackson, Harrison, Hancock,
Perry, Greene, Marion, Covington,
Jones, Jasper, Lawrence, Simpson,
Smith, Wayne, Pike, Lincoln,
Adams, Amite, Copiab, Claiborne,
Warren, Madison, Wilkinson,

Winston, Sharkey, ISsaquena and
Yazoo, in this State, were placed
on the market Tuesday by the
swamp land commissioner, at one
dollar per acre, open for purchase
for the next sixty days. These
lands have just been patented to
the State by the United States gov
eminent, and many of them are
valuable. Descriptive lists of these
lands will at once be forwarded to
the clerks of the several counties
where situated, and the same can
be had for each county at the

A POLL was taken of the seyenty.two
members of the Press Association who
we're on the train Friday night for the
Exposition, and the vote for Governor
stood as follows: Lowry q, Walker IL,
Featherston I, no choice and dark horse
II. Total -. This shows a majority of
the Press OF Mississippi Is for Lowry
State Ledger.
That is by 10 means a fair way
to state it. Nearly all the Lowry
papers were represented by two
members, as well as many OF the
opposition. The figures shoS q
difference of twelve which might
have been only an advantage ia the
average representation. Since this
vote was taken aud stated by &
Lowry man it looks suspicious that
the personal instead Of tie IepFe-
sentative vote Was given. Besides
all the Press Of Mississippi Was not
represented on this occasion. The
IS, as it stands your count
nothing.

You have probably made a mis-
take in the name of the county,
for you must know that this cOan.
ty did not endorse Gov. Lowry at
all, and there was no mention made
of Lowry in the proceedings OF her
convention or otherwise, under her
authority. Her Delegates, however.
may be manipulated and east their
vote for Lowry, but when you count
on that as u certainty you are
counting your chickens before the
eggs are laid. In sentiment the
county is not for Lowry.

A JUpIOIOus

Great hardships have long been
felt in this section owing to a want
OF Federal court facilities and con.
venience. Our marine aud ship.
ping interests are frequently EN-.
barrasSed by the inacessibility oil
Federal judicial aid where their
grievances are cOgnizable. Time
is quite an item in such matters,
and is frequently fatal to the admin.
istratlon of jnstice. Vessels loading
along hecoast OF Mississippi for for
eign ports contract obligations ire
quently amounting to large sums of
money, and it sometimes happens
that the owner is not known, and
upon the failure TO pay the sums it
becomes necessary TO proceed in
rem against them. This must be
done quickly or not at all. Hence
ruinOus and unsatisfactory cOmpIo-
misses are frequently made because
1t requires several days to get re-
lief by mandate from the judge OF
the Federal court. Besides this,
it is a notable fact, that III u large
proportion of the cases of Ron-resi
dents instituted in this section of
the State advantage is taken OF the
power to remove them TO the Fed
eral Court at Jackson, often solely
for the purpose of making the case
a greater burden for the home liti-
giant to bear. 1t would probably
be safe to say that in proportion to
the amount of litigation there is
more of it coming under Federal
jurisdiction in the seacOast coun-
ties than any other part of the State,
and yet it costs li;igants aud wit.
nesses FROM s2j to $50 at least, to
attend the nearest court, which is
held at jackson.
There are many other reasons
too numerous to mention, why We
should have better facilities 10 such
matters, and We heartily con
mend the action OF the members Of
the bar in their efforts TO bring
about this reform, and secure to
Mississippi at least, an extra
Federal court session. Tie pro-
ceedings of their meeting held at
st. Louis explain its object,
and we hope it will meet with sue
less and ready co operation. There
5 plenty of time to canvass the
question before Congress meets,
md it shonld then be placed before
hat body in Its strongest phase.
