OBITUARY..

ALDRiDGE-Died, at the residence of Mr.
Hal Noland, Warren county, Miss, August 9th
1885, LILLY. youngest csild of the late Alfred
D. and Alta R. Aldrldge, of Sharkey county
Miss. Barely four years of age, but premature.
ly wise, this fair child, with its comforting and
cheering prattle. was the sweet perfume that
gladened the widowed mothers heart; but in
the following words there is soace for her
though bereft Of a priceless treasure;
Tender Shepherd, Though has stilled
Now Thy little lambs brief weeping.
All, how peaceful, pale and mild
In it's narrow bed It's sleepng
And no sigh of anguish sore
Heayes that little bosom more.
In this world OF care and pain.
Lord, Thou wOuldst no longer leave IL.
10 the sunny, heavenly plain
Thou dost now with JOY receive il.
Clothed in robes of spotless white
Now itdwells with Thee in light.
A FRIEND.

The Frog-catoher at Work.

Stagn&nt bitches are the hunting
grounds, and they are found in abun-
dance in the Neck, along the Delaware
river on both sides, and among the
swamls and bogs of interior New Jer-
sey. A frog fisherman must have a
supple wrist and quick eye. He
uses no bait, but steals quietly along
the ditch, rod in hand, carefully scru-
tinizing every secluded spot. When
he spies a frog he noislessly lowers
his pole until the grapnel touches frog
gle. Then, with a combined side and
upward jerk he impales the frog on
one of the sharp hooks. In removing
the hook care is taken not to iniure the
game, for dead frogs are of no use.
The result Of days hunt is confined
in a large tank at the home of the fish.
erman, where they are fed on cornmeal
until sold. Large restaurants are the
principal purchasers. Prices vary ac-
cording to the size of the frog. The
smallest bring 25 cents dozen, the
largest So dozen. The season lasts
from May until September.

WE hear that some of Beck's friends
are saying on the streets that certain
class Of our citizens, or large number
Of them, will vote for him at the
coming election against the nominee
of the Democratic convention.
We regard this as vile slander of
those who have always been foremost
and active in every movement designed
to contribute to the general good.
While there are two or three Republi-
cans among the Hebrews Of this city
who will probably vote for their
political associate on party grounds the
proportion of them who have
left or never belonged TO the
Democratic party is no greater
than that Of the Gentiles, and We ex-
pect all such to vote for the Republi-
can candidate for Sheriff. AS a rule,
they are patriotic citizens. They are
large property holders Eand taxpayers,
shrewd business men, and good citi-
zens. They are not so ignorant of the
manner in which the Sheriff's office OF
Warren county has been conducted for
some years as to lend their influence
or give their votes to Beck.
Apart from other considerations it is
to their interest to stand by and sup
port this effort which is now being
made TO reform the officers of the
county. With county warrants down
TO sixty cents on the dollar persons
doing work for or furnishing material
to the county charge and ex.
pect to get much more than
the usual prices when they are paid off
in these warrants as they always are,
and hence Indebtedness Of the county
begets debts and so if change is not
made Warren county will be hopeless
~ in debt in the course Of time. The
Sheriff Of the county can do much for
Or against thecounty in regard to its
indebtedness. The Democratic party
ofthe county has nominated an honest
and capable man for Sheriff and 1--WE
repeat that It is a slander to say that
they viii support Beck against Capt.
WO. Worrell.

Autumnal Goodness.

Hartford Post.
Of course, on such bright morning
she couldn't resist calling around to
see how many of her friends had re-
turned from vacation. "Why, Cicely,
DEAR" she exclaimed, $50 you, too,
have returned?" "Ye-es, I-I-that
is, haven't been away" "But you
have a beautiful tan on your COM
plexion." "Oh, yes. That cost me rs
cents, while a vacation would have
cost S125. I'll have new cloak this
fall, and you will have to fix up your
old one." 1t was cool enough to put
the cloaks on Immediately.

STYLES In Feminine Hose.

cleveland fldln-DedleF.
Silk stockings will come into the
market with a rush. They are for both
men and women. Stockings for men is
the newest and latest foolishness, and
the former dudes threaten to adopt
them and wear jeweled garters, despite
the fact that wet weather offers them
no excuse tor an exhibition of hosiery.
But the new styles of silk hose for
women are gaudy and handsome.
They are all in bright stripes or bars
to suit the makeup Of the limbs they
are to cover. Stripes, broad at the top
and tapering as they descend, shape
up a heavy limb, while bars make a
slender one appear less slender. But
the prices are astonishing, good pair
of such hose costing 81 and a superior
pair SIS. Fashion is dear to the pocket
book as well as to the heart.

A Comedy.

WARSAW, Sept. 16.-The semi
official Gazette calls the reception
given by the Emperor Francis Joseph
of Austria, at Pazga, on the 18th inst,
to the deputation of prominent Bos-
mans and Herzegovians, comedy pre-
pared and rehearsed by Austria, and
states that the promises made by the
Austrian emperor on that occasion
were but idle words, as Russia will not
allow Austria to take another step in
her schemes relating to the Balkan
States, unless she pleases.

The Chinese Becoming Demoral-
lied.

RAwL1Ns, wy, Sept. 16-The
Knights Of Labor have taken up the
cudgel against the Chinese, and their
ultimate expulsion from the Territory
is probable. Mr.. Neesham, represent
ing the Union Pacific Division of the
Knights Of Labor, arrived here yester-
day, and was met by Mr.. Bromley,
representing President Adams, of the
Union Pacific company. Both spent
the day in looking into the causes of
the anti-Chinese demonstrations. It.
was shown the Chinese were brought
back against their wishes. Mr.. Nees-
ham left for Denver last night. His
last words to the correspondent were:
The information l received astounGs
me; the situation is desperate, and calls
for heroic measures. 1t is feared
there will be trouble unless the Union
Pacific recedes from its position and
sends the Chinese out of the country.
1t is rNw likely, however, that this
matter will settle itself in few DAYS
without interference from any one. The
Chinese here are becoming demoral-
lied. Thirty of them boarded yester-
days west,bound express, and like
lumber set out for the west on foot,
with baggage on their backs. The
white miners were told they could 20
back to work this morning, and will
likely do so if there is no attempt to
work Chinese with them. So far the
Chinese have been afraid to go down
into the mines, and have, consequent.
ly, been idle since the riot.

affairs say that owing to the scarcity

further time or have a receiver p

probable the Greens will be granted

when the bank failed, was $460,000,

which the Greens claim they can and
will pay, if given sufficient time.

THE NEW TREASURY BALANCE.

A good deal has been said about the
new debt statement adopted by the
Treasury, and some of the Republican
papers have used it as cause of
declaring that the Democrats in one
month had increased the Federal debt
one hundred millions of dollars. The
new form of monthly state
mentS, adopted by Mr.. Man
ming is of simple understanding to any
one at all versed in accounts. In the
new firm a reserve of $100,O000OO in
gold is set aside for the redemption of
legal tenders, and this is added to the
sum Of liabilities; the fractional ccin,
amounting to $31. 508, 377, is deducted
from the available assets; the g. Id
and silver certificates in the hands of
sub-treasurers are considered as if
they were already issued, and a re-
serve of bullion or coin is required to
be issued against them; the Pacific
Railroad Indebtedness, amoun-
ting to over $65,OOO,OOO is added
to the column of liabilities.
The arithmetical conclusion, thus pre-
sented, is that the available treasury
balance amounted to only $22,0OO,0OO,
when we have been told heretofore
that it amounted to $125, 100000. Not
only this, but the new statement
makes it appear that there was an
increase in the debt, during March, of
$50, 256, whereas, by the only method
of receiving, there was decrease of
$4s3,747. The apparent differ
ences arises simply from the
new form of statement
The Bankers Monthly says the set
ting aside OF SlOOO0O,OOO, as reserve
against the outstanding greenbacks,
is sin ply formal and official adop-
ton OF a tradition that has existed in
the Treasury Department for a long
time. Gold appEoximating that
amount was accumulated by Secretary
Sherman FIR the resEm ption of

ernment has considered that az
