Prohibition in Yazoo County.

The ladies il Yazoo City and the
friends of Temperance in several points
of the county have been making efforts
to close out the saloons, but they have
been met with fierce and unscrupulous
opposition in every quarter. Two petit
tions have recently teen defeated in the
south eastern part of the county, just by
proving to the Board of Supervisors that
so many of the names on the petition
were bogus as not to leave them the
required majority. The name of a
Methodist minister, once member OF
the Mississippi Conference, who has been
in California for five years, was signed to
the precious { y document. The names
of quite a number of colored preachers
were signed also, without consent
or authorization of the owners.
The preachers are very justly incensed
at his outrage upon their rights, and
have arranged themselves against the
whisky movement 1t was proved that
MANY of the names on the petitions
belonged to persons who had been dead
for many years The way these whisky
petitions have been put through hereto
lore is very disreputable to all concerned
but thanks to the vigilance OF the lem
perance people this miserable trayesty ol
law will not hereafter be allowed to pre-

Rum and Religion in the Metropolis

A New York clergyman recently stated
over his own signature that In New I orK
city alone there is spent annually, ABOUT
$50 .O0O. 900 for drinks, or an average OF
S49.7 per citizen. The same city IN
dulges in public amusements to the ex-
tent of $7,000,00 a year, and IN addl
ton to all this it taxes its property own
ers S13. .OOO. 900 annually to pay court,
police and like expenses. The churches
of the CITY are conducted at an expense
of $4,000, 900. During the last tiscal
wear there were in operation in this coun-
trv 3 l29 distilleries, and the quantity
of distilled spirits, exclusive of what
may be in bonded warehouses, on Octo
her |. was nearly 116,000,0 900 gallons.
To this, lacking later statistics, we WI VIII
add the amount of beer brewed In 1867,
namely, 434, 651 ,S6S gallons. 1here are

Carpets and Civilization.

Carpets and civilization may be con-
sidered to have advanced together.
There was a time when the floors
of the royal palace were strewn
with rushes, in which were only
half hidden the odds and ends that
were thrown from the table, mingled
with the mire that was brought in by
ill-shod feet from the unpaved roads.
The rush strewer was an important ON
cial of the royal household. and the rush
bearings, which are still familiar testi-
walls in the country places, are but the
remnant of the ancient usage connect
ed with the days of rush-strewu hoors-
1t is mentioned as special feature OF
the luxurious style of living adopted by
Thomas Beckett that his dining-room
floor was daily covered with straw or
hay in winter and with green branches
in summer, that the guests for whom
there was not room at the board might
sit on the floor without fear of soiiing
their clothes. Then came the first rude
carpets of plated rushes. after which
the era of carpets was not long in fol-
lowing. In the east these accompani-
ments of luxury were used for centu-
ries before thev found their way to the
cold northern latitudes where they
were capable of being still better ap
preciated. From China and Indis
| they were carried forward to Egypt
and spread "beneath the ivory feet o
| purpIe-cushioned couches." as Plautui

Glorious News From Columbus

CoLuMBUs, MISS, Oct. 10th, 1885.
Friday and Saturday the Temperance
battle ragged in court. Gov. Sims closed
the argument at IL o'clock Saturday
night in a noble speech. The court sus-
tained the demurrer of Orr & Sims to
the mandamus of the whiskey men, and
victory again perched on the Temper
ance banner. Four saloons close this
month, one next month and the last one
in February. Although the press has
been bought up, and free whiskey and
money have done their work, truth and
right stand vindicated.
Yours soberly,
