Il Kiss by MOOnHght.
Active, Passive and Le-
gal Kisses.
A Pedestrian Catches the Sound.

From time immemorial, no one will pre-
tend TO deny the fact that kisses have been
held in high repute by bot seXes-wheth-
err active or passive. 1t has been decided
that n Legal Kiss implies Action on both
parties; but when n lady simply consents
to be kissed without action of her lips, it
constitutes only Passive kiss-a sweet de-
prived of its nectar.

A Milan, Mo-, special dispatch to

gence has just reached here of the dos
mise, on Saturday last, of venerable
patriarch who was old enough to re-
member the stirring events of 1776.
His name was James Williams, and
he resided just across the Sullivan
county line, over in Putnam county,
for the past thirty five years. De-
ceased was a native Of Tennessee, and
was SCARED with the marks of com,
bats of the olden times. Up to the
time of his death he enjoyed good
health for one of his age, possessed IL
good appetite and slept well. 1t was
pleasant pastime with him in lalei
years to boast of having flogged the
bulies of Tennessee and Kentucky n
his time. He had been entirely bliod
for the past ten or twelve years, He
lived with grandson and was sur,
rounded by his great,grandchildren.
He has ten daughters aud one son,
Uncle Joe Williams, whose head is
silvered by age. For the benefit of
sanitariansand prohibiJiolists it nigh,
be said that he owned to drinking
much liquor, was a constant chewct
of the weed, but never smoked.
