Nature seems to be smiling on us
again with her lovely springtime, which
causes us to look out at the beautiful
flowers and vegetation with cheerful
hearts.
The wheat crop i'm this county Is re.
ported better than expected, though
not very fiattering prospects yet.
The largest preparation that has ever
been known in this county is being
made for tobacco crop this year. Some
of the farmers are done planting corn,
and are preparing their tobacco ground
already.
Business has been remarkably dull
here for some time, on account of the
beautiful farming weather, which is be-
ing used advantageously by all, we hope.
The house of DIR w. III. Boston, who
lived about two miles from here, was
consumed by fire on Saturday night,
May I'd. He saved only small por-
ton of the house furniture. Lost 500
in money. about five or six hundred
dollars worth of notes, and all Of his
account books. Ii was insured for
81 900 in the German Insurance Cons
pany, of Freeport, Ill.
We are sorry to report the suspension
of the high school here. Beech Grove
has always had good schools hereto
fore, but on account of the character OF
the Principal, the school was caused to
be suspended. Guess the public will
soon have an opportunity to read his
character generally, while here, from
the talk of his patrons. Bo- SURE.

WIN. E. GLADSTONE, PRIME
MINISTER OF ENGLAND.

Mr.. Gladstone was appointed Prime
Minister of England, on April %, 1880.
He assumed the office of Chancellor Of
the Exchequer on the same day, but re-
signed this position December IL, 1882.
His strength in the higher position has
hitherto baffied all attempts of the Par
liamentary opposition to Gust him.
He stands high in the estimation of
the masses of the people, whose politi-
cal rights he has recently enlarged by
the admission of about two million
new voters. In his foreign policy he
has possibly been less fortunate. While
he loves peace the necessity of fighting
has been thrust upon him. There is no
question, however, in the mind of both
Liberals and Conservatives, that in the
event of great European war, which,
as the conduct of negotiations between
England and Russia thus far indicates,
he would undertake reluctantly, he
would pursue it with due energy and
spirit. To him was given by the House
of Commons recently the unprecedent-
ed compliment of vote Of credit for an
enormously large amount Of money,
without division, or even the speck Of
opposition. An unsurpassed Oratorical
effort ON his part preceded this most
remarkable triumph of personal great.
ness and craftsmanship.
William Ewart Gladstone was born
December 20, 1909, the son of Liver
pool merchant. He was educated at
Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, and
graduated double first-class man. He
began his Parliamentary career as long
ago as 1882, when he was an enthusiast
tic member of the Tory, now generally
call the Conservative. party. After
holding variety of inferior appoint-
ments from time to time, in 1868 he
became Prime Minister, and so contin-
ued until 1874. He has been a Liberal,
perhaps about thirty years. The growth
of his broadening conviction has been
slow and almost unappreciable as re-
garded for a short period of time. His
most Radical measure thus far, namely

A Constitution.

louisville Commercially
An act passed by the last Legislature
provides for taking the sense of the
people at the next August election upon
the question of calling a constitutional
convention. AS yet, neither newspa-
pers of the State nor the legislative
candidates seem to have given the
matter much attention. 1t In 40 gen.
orally conceded 10y thinking and read
! ing men and by the newspapers that a
new constitution is needed as to lead
one TO suppose majority in favor of a
convention would result as matter of
course. But some active advocacy of
the measure must take place if the
vote in August is to lead constitu-
,ional revision. In very many counties
there will be no deep interest felt in the
legislative contest, 80 that light vote
will be polled. AS all the stay-at-
homes are counted against the con ven-
ton, it will be seen how important it is
that every citizen who goes to the polls
should be gotten to vote aflirmatively.
The result of previous votes upon this
question has not been encouraging TO
the friends of revision, though the op-
position to a convention has not been
rs strong as some have supposed. The
vote in 1888 was not reported In full
From several counties where it is
known that votes were east i'm favor of
"A convention no report was made to the
last Legislature. In some other coun-
! ties a law requiring poll to be opened
for the convention question was not
complied with. There has been reason
to suspect heretofore that the number
of votes in the State reported by the
Assessor was greater than the actual
number. The Assessors are paid so
much per name for listing the voters,
fact which leads some to doubt the
accuracy of published reports. The act
of 1884 provides a new method of
enumerating the votes of the State,
which, it is hoped, will reduce the
number reported, so that fewer names
will be counted in opposition to the
convention.

A Massachusetts, correspondent calls
our attention TO the publication, about
thirty years ago, of very successful
cholera cure, introduced in this way :
The captain of an emigrnt ship, coming
from Europe, had lost many passen-
gers by cholera, although freely dosing
all who were sick with the remedies
then used. AT last he made a prescrip-
ton of his own-one tea-spoonful of red
pepper and tablespoonful of salt to a
half pint boiling water; this TO be given
As hot as possible, to every patient
when first taken. Ii is said that this
simple remedy acted as a charm, curing
all the cases on board that ship, and At,
tanning considerable general popularity
during the time Of that cholera vista

Jefferson Davis.

Joaquin Miller, writing in The Indie
pendent, from Pass Christian, Miss,
under date of March 10, thus speaks o:
the President Of the late Confederacy
perhaps the most notable residence
along this warm sandy bank is that
of Jefferson Davis. They call him Pres
ident Davis here. They speak Of him
with great respect. He is not 'deiiied'
at all, "a some writers fOolishly say,
but, repeat, he is greatly respected.
And when you bear in mind that there
il not one of these ten million people
who did not put some sort of sacrifice
upon the altar of Southern opinion, you
will not be surprised. This man stands
as II token to them. Personally,
think they see little of him, and know
little of him-these gray old mothers,
whose sons went down in battle, these
beautiful girls of the South whose
fathers never came back any more; but
they have their memories and their
traditions. They call him President
Davis, and will continue to do 40 while
he lives. A great many Northern peo-
pie visit Mr.. Davis, and all with the
noblest motives. | au told he has
many more visitors from the North
than from the South. OF course the
desire to see this man, now in the last
days of historical and tempestuous life,
is irresistible when within call; for it
must be admitted that whether good or
whether entirely wrong or entire
ly right-this man has been, IL, and
must forever remain, a colossal figure
in American history. 'Beauvoir' is not
a part of this long and roomy place,
but an old plantation bequeafhed to the
great Mississippian not many years
since. II is beautiful spot among the
pines and vines, but is sadly dilapidat-
ed. MIR. Davis is a poor man, / am
told, and cannot afford to keep the
place up. 1t is set a little back from
the sea, and not too close to the rail-
road. Mr.. Davis is, at this writing, in
poor health. | should say, from what
L have seen, and then from the course
of nature, tOo-with his well-nigh four
score years behind him-that he will
not long be a subject of either love or
hate; for In spite of this kindest of eli
mates, he has found the winter ter
rible. He cannot survive another such.
|" And now / should like to
give you the little details of everyday
life here; the coming and going of the
tail, straight old man soon to perish
from the earth; the flowers and plants
in the neglected garden; the pictures on
the walls, the papers on the table. But
my education in journalism has never
permitted me to cross the threshold of

FOR THE HERAL
A TEMPERANCE POEM.

ny r. CAMPBELL.
This life Is worth living,
Twas wise in the giving,
The Giyer our gratitude merits;
It's good in itself,
Without fortune OF pelf,
And happy without whisky spirits.
II we just look abroad,
Ger the handwork Of God,
The view gives unlimited pleasure
Around and above,
We see goodness and love,
And beauty bestowed without measure.
To the beast life is given
As the sum of its heaven,
And in its short span II reioices;
The birds from the trees
Sing TIE Deums of praise,
And give thanks will. numberless voices.
And shall man alone,
The much favored one,
Possessing the proud gift of reason.
AT RUNS filthy shrine
Pay homage divine,
And commit against heaven high treason
A new star is shining.
And men are divining
What the luminous visitor meaneth.
IT'S casting each night
Less obliquely its light,
And ere long will appear in the zenith.
And rum-sellers shake,
And whisky rings quake,
At the ominous strangers appearing;
Like the hand on the wall,
IL betokens their fall
A fall that is rapidly nearing.
Then let us not weary,
The outlook is CHEEKY,
Our star the ascendant is gaining,
And over the earth,
The news flashes forth
ofthe power OF intemperance waning.
With shoulder to shoulder,
Still stronger and holder,
Let us fight the good fight, ceasing never,
And faster and faster
Come the final disaster,
That will crush out the rum power forever.

Stopped His Paper.

Once upon a time a man got mad
with the editor and stopped his paper.
The next week he sold his corn at four
cents below the market prices. Then
his property was sold for taxes because
he didn't read the sheriff's sales. He
was arrested and fined S. for going
hunting on Sunday, simply because he
didn't know it was Sunday, and he
payed $500 for a lot of forged notes that
had been advertised two weeks and the
public cautioned not to negotiate for
them. He then psyed big Irishman,
with a foot like forge-hammer, to
kick him all the way to the newspaper
office, where he paid for four years
subscription In advance, and made the
editor sign an agreement to knock him
down and rob him If he ever ordered
his paper stopped again. Such is life
without newspaper.
