It's a long time before the meeting Of
the State Democratic Convention, and
there are numbers Of good men out for
the various offices; which fact is in strict
accord with the teachings Of the Demo-
cratic party, and in keeping with the
genius of our institutions. We can
vote for but one for each Office, and we
hope that we have liberallty enough in
choosing one, not to disparage the others.
Far as we are able to judge, there is not
an individual amongst the many avowed
candidates, whose personal character,
and fitness for the Office to which he as
pires, does not rest on strong local
basis; and he that can make wider and
tirmer that foundation over the others,
will be the successful man. So, no mat
ter, what others may do, we will en-,
deavor to preserve calm equilibrium,
with respect to all and detraction for
none.

If all the railroads built on paper and
backed by the capital Of imagination
were things of reality, there are but few
towns, villages or hamlets that could not
point with triumph at the smoking nos
trils of the iron horse. Who Van Praag
is we do not know, but he seems, in the
estimation of the Pensacola Commercial,
large and well edited paper, to be a
very proper man to build railroad on
almost an air line from Pensacola, Fla,
to Meridian, and from there to Memphis,
passing right by our own town Of Gres
NADIA. The feasibility of the enterprise
seems coupled with no insurmountaole
obstacles. Anyhow the wind work Of
the road looks admirable, and we hasten
to say, let that good work 20 on to a sue
cessful termination OF realistic facts.

Mr.. v. M. Wells, formerly of Walden,

Mr.. v. M. Wells, formerly of Walden,
was shot one night last week by an as>
sassin while at the home of Mr.. Alexis
Ellis, of Montgomery county. Having
seen the sneaking murderer while he
went out to get drink Of water, on the
gallery, by the fitful flashes of lightning,
he remarked to Mr.. Ellis that the indis>
tinct figure which he had seen was that
of one Bateman, and he was there to kill
him. As.the two friends went back into
the house, closing the door and letting
down the curtains, Bateman, the assas-
sin, silently approached the darkened
window and emptied a load of twelve
buckshot into the side of Mr.. Wells,
which will probably prove fatal. These
facts we CLEAN from the Walden Watch

The Vicksburg Post says that i the
grangers and prohibitionists were to
combine they would make things in the
political world in our State lively. But
there is that little word if, which has
changed the fate of empires, stopped the
career of armies, defeated the hopes Of
parties and the aspirations of statesmen,
and done million Of other things with
two little letters. Give us the control of
it and we can conquer everything on the
face of the globe. But the grangers and
prohibltionists will not unite, for they
are founded on separate and distinct
ideas, if we understand anything Of the
grangers.

Secretary Lamar is reported as in
clined to go slow in changing the politi-
cal and civil machinery of the Govern
ment. While his Democracy none can
question, he is something far beyond
the partizan,. he is broad-guaged, level
headed statesman, who is looking at the
interests Of the whole country and finds,
that if he' submitted to the restless
feverish demands of large class of his
friends, the wheels of the government
would have been clogged by this time.
In due time if the anxious will possess
their souls in patience, the offices will
all be filled with the right sort Of men,
and they will be democrats, but Of whose
selection is very different question.

Casting Oil on the Waters.

Tt has really been found that the
waves in the neighborhood of vessels in
stormy seas can be sensibly smoothed
and reduced by having oil thrown upon
them from the storm-b beaten ship. The
photographic office, at Washington, has
been collecting facts respecting this mat
ter, and all the testimony goes to show
that this lubricant is really efficacious in
reducing the waves adjacent to a vessel
in the midst of storm. The steamers
Thomas Melville, the Thingvalla, the
NJ. Taylor, and other vessels, tested this
matter. When in peril by high seas and
violent winds, they used canvas bags
filled with oil and punctured, which
were let over the sides of the vessel and
allowed to drag. AS the oil spread, the
waves were correspondingly subdued. 1t
is believed before many years are over
that every vessel which goes to sea will
provide itself with oil to be used when
in danger of being overwhelmed by the
waves emOrest's.

MODERN Egyptian Houses.

The towns on the Egyptian shore of
the Red sea stand along the borders of
the khors which come from the noun
tains back of them, and their way through
many shallow channels to the sea. These
channels, which are dry three-fourths of
the year, are the passage-ways or streets
of the villages. The houses stand on the
slightly higher ground between the chan
ncls; they are scattered about in perfect
ly irregular manner. The better class of
houses are thus constructed: First a
framework is made of boughs and
branches of the acacia trees. Then
waiting of straw is woven closely
among the boughs of roof and sides, SO
as to make a waterproof covering for the
interior. Around the houses of the chief
men Enclosures of similar construction
are made to keep prying eyes from peer
ing into the sacred precincts of the harem
within. The huts of the poorer people
are mere tent-shaped structures lightly
covered with skins of animals, or with
coarse mating.

GENERAL GRANT VERY ILL,
His Condition Known be to Alarming
1.-The Statement.


1.-The Statement.
The following statement of General Grants
condition is based on reliable authority: 'Not-
withstanding the Iose-colored report of General
Grants health, recently given in medical
journal, the truth is, that General Grant is O
very sick man, and his death apparently not
far distant The public has no conception of
the shattered condition of his physical SYSTEM
1t is hoped that the affection OF the tongue may
notprove fatal but there is as yet no appear
ance that it is not the development of II alg-
nant and fatal disease. Although somewhat
better now than some weeks ago the enlarged
and inllamed tongue continues, making it pain
full to speak or swallow fluids, the only nour-
ishment he can tlke. In addition to this dis
tressing mnlady, General Grant is q terrible
sufferer from neuralgia and it seems to have
taken possession OF his whole system He has
had most of his teeth drawn to lessen neural
gic torture, and his injury in the hip caused by
his tall year ago is still the source of great
suffering and forbids physical exercise. 1t is a
lact that should no longer be concealed from
the country, that General Grant is rapidly
breaking down and apparently without hope of
reaction, and unless there should be some I'M
expected relief, he will not be long among the
living. He is wonderfully patient and uncom-
planning, and he profoundly appreciates the ex-
pressions of sympathy which have been called
ont by his recent appalling misfortunes. He
works every day with bandaged head and an
unremtling pain to finish his military auto
biography or history of the war and hopes to
complete it this spring. The first volume is
entirely finished but not revised, and the Sec
ond volume is more than half done. He has
not taken the time to revise the first volume
because of his apprehension that he may not be
able to finish his second volume"

try. He was born in Peru, Berkshire county,
Mass., tho son OF Joseph Warren, who was at
one time brakeman on the Boston & Albany
Railroad. He was a student in Hlllsdale
Academy in 1861, and lived in that place
about three years alter, as tenant farmer.
He went with the Forty-ninth Regiment to the
war, and afterward was captain of militia. Ten
OF eleven years ago he went to Wyoming,
where nc began keeping miscellaneous store
in Cheyenne his business now includes three
Or four separate departments, together consti-
tuting one of the largest mercantile establish
rents west OF Chicago; while he is also large
owner of cattle, his, herds numbering 10000
head. Mr.. Warren'is little more than forty
