Rolling Fork Dots.

Rolling Fork is a delightful little
town. and quite a thrifty one. She
bids fair in the nigh future to become
a city in miniature. Located as she is
upon either side of three streams that
meet and divide within her corporate
limits, and in the very thick of the
rich Deer Creek lands, what is to pre-
vent her from building up and assum-
ing the proportions of "a small city.
The lands surrounding the town, and
spreading out for miles in all dIrec-
tions are rich and productive.
In the language of Douglas
Jerrold, they are SO rich that if you
tickle them with a plow they will
laugh with a harvest"

Boston Herald,
Our Southern contemporary, the
Mobile Register, makes a good and
timely point in mentioning the States
and their governments as a sure pro-
lection against anarchy or hurtful con-
fusion as the result of a lapsing Of the
presidential Office. Nearly every es-
sential right of the citizen, whether
religious, civil or political. is in the
case of the local government. It is
our independent, sovereign States
which give the republic It's advantage
in this respect over every other nation
in the world. Our nationality is a
great and established fact, but the
authority of the State is equally i'm
portant to the successful working Of
our system.

N. o. "Picayune.H

Pending the arrangements likely to
be perfected by the Queen q Crescent
Company in dividing the freight and
passenger departments of the line in
this city, Mr.. l. Hardy, commercial
agent of the line at Vlcksburg, has
taken charge of the office made vacant
by the resignation here of Mr.. Barnard
Brown. The company eviDces a desire
to be economical, and acting in that
spirit the proposition to divide the
freight and passenger departments was
made. Such a measure would dispense
with the services of a commercial
agent entirely, thus saving to the COM
.ppny a salary much larger than the
combined salaries of the men who
would be placed at the heads OF the
two departments, as they are now do
ing the work necessary and are con-
Quoting the business in a manner
perfectly satisfactory to the mercantile
community, as well as to the company
n whose employ they are.

rived on one of the evening trains on

drove to The Washington hotel, where
he accompanied her to the parlor and
leaving her descended to the office and
approached the desk with that air of

words could express it: II am a BRIDE
groom" He picked up the pen and
under the trying ordeal Of being
closely scanned by the accommodating
clerk and a dozen guests, he
wrote his name with a trembling hand,
finished, placed his elbows upon the
register, the pen still in hand and
gazed thoughtfully for half a minute
at his name. The clerk stood by look
ing and waiting, for him to act, but
growing impatient, as a feeler said,
"well?" The young benedict looked
up, the blood rushing to his face. and
said interrogatiDgly 'what shall l dc
