DEMOCRACY aud victory are
synonymous terms in every coun-
ty of Mississippi save Pamela. Our
county Is not quite beyond politi.
cal redemption, and we move that
She be CALAMITY and gloriously re.

That grand result can only DO nc.
compiishod by vigorous work and
unlagging zeal in the great cause
Of Democracy. Now let each Dem.

purpose, and we shall surely win
the day and restore the crring

[ Washington Letter.


What singular errors some of the brilliant
writers from Washington now and then fall
into. A correspondent OF the Louisville
Cousier-Journal In writing of Mr.. Cleyelaud's
reception says that the Marine Baud played
medly Of popular airs, including Dixie"
'Suwsnee River and "Massa's in de Cold,
Cold Ground )" aud says that it is the ii rst
time these airs have ever been played in the
White House, an assumption that the new
Democratic Administration is crowding out
the old popular loyal airs aud introducing
in their stead purely Southern music. Thisis
entirely fiction. The popular Southern airs
above quote d have been played in the Exec.
utive Mansion and grounds ever since they
were written. 1t is easy for nae to recall
an instance only night or two before Mr..
Lincoln was assassinated. The President
had returned from Richmond and q crowd
called with band to tender CONGRATULATIONS
and q serenade. The man who was 90 soon
TO be the victim of the assassin's bullet ap.
peared in response to calls and thanked his
audience for the compliment. Several mem.
bers OF his Cabinet surrounded him, and it
was very interesting anG dramatic occasion.
Just as he was closing his brief remarks. Mr..
Lincoln said: 81 see you have o band with
you. l ehould like to hear it play Dixie
have consulted the Attorney General, who
is here by nv side, and he is OF the opinion
that Dixie belongs to us. Now plav It."
The band struck up the old tune and played
1t as l have never before or since heard it
rendered. As the strains of the music rang
out upon the air cheer after cheer went up
from the threats of the hundreds of happy
men who had callod to congratulate Mr..
Lincoln upon the return of peace.

a Brave Girl.

Alta recent FIRE in London three lives were
saved through the hereism OF q servant girl
named Alice AyYes. The details are terrible
says the London Times. but the predominant
must be one OF admiration for the heroic girl
whose first thought was for others and not
for herself, aud who might have made her
escape in safety il she haze chosen so to do
and to leave her masters children TO perish
without help. The fire, it appears, broke out
in the middle of Thursday night at the
house of Dir. Il: Chandler, an oil and color
be swoks by it, sud she rushed at
once to the front window aud screamed
loudly for help. The people in the street
below called TO her TO Jump and save herself,
and they stretched out some clothing which
would have served to break her fall The
flames meanwhile had got hold of the in
hammable stock IN the shop. and were
spreading with friRhtful rspidity. But, amid
heat and smoke, and with the prospect be-
fore her of death IL lis most awful shape,
Alice Ayres was cot 10 be Gaunted from her
purpose. She had formed her plan, aud SIZE
was resolved TO carry il through az all haz
arde. She first drsgged feather bed to the
window and threw 1t out 1t was at once
caught up by the people IN the street aad
stretched out below the window. Very soon
she appeared at the window egain with q tit
tie girl in her arms, and with all care
threw her down ON the bed, She was
successful in this way in say
ing three children from the flames.
the first without any hurt from the fall. the
second and third with some trifling horE, for
the Preat heat and the suffccating fumes of
the FIRE were affecting her, and had made her
h, Id less firm and her eim less steady She
mad now done ali that it was possible for her
70 co, more than she could do with care for
her own safety. The fire had 80 gained
upon her that She must escape at once if she
was to escape ut all. She sprang according
~ from the wiDdow, but in her nervous aud
exhausted state she missed her mark,
jumped short of the bed, aud fell heavily on
the pavement. She wss picked up and taken
to Guys Hospital, and there she now lies
between life and death, with her spine disio.
Gated, and with no hope of her recovery.
Such has been her choice. noble but fatal for
henelf. A tribute of honor is all that we
can now pay to q deed Of heroism and self
devotion which has at no tune been sur.

Linccln's GhostIy Visions.

election, when the news was coming in thick
and fast ell day, and there had been great
hurrah. boysn so that was we'll tired out,
and went home TO rest, throwing myself up
on lounge in my chamber. Opposite to
where lay was a bureau with a swinging
glass upon it; and looking in that glass |
saw myself reflected at nearly full length.
But my face, / noticed, bad two separate
and distinct images, the tip of the nose of
enc being about three inches from the tip of
the nose of the other. l was little bothered
perhaps startled, and got up and looked in
the glass, but the illusion had vanished
On laying down again I ssv t q
second time, palmer, il possible. than
before, ard then noticed
that one of the faces was little paler, say
five shades, than the other l got % aud
the thing meltsd awsy. and / went off. In
the.excitement OF the hour forgot sll about
it-nearly, but not quite, for the thing
would come up every once in awhile and
give me little psDg, as though something
uncomfortable had happened. When ]
went home, / told my wife about it. and a
few days after tried the experiment again.
when, sure enough. the thing came back
again, TX any thing more ghostIy than before
After this, however, l was never able to
bring the thing back again, though tried
or ce very industriously to show it TO nv
wife, who was somewhat worried over it.
She thought it wss q sign that was to be
elected to second term Of Office, aud in
terpreted the paleness OF the lower face as
an omen that would not see life through
