Judge Van Eaton and the Blair
Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May "a, 1876.
Editor Democrat-Star:
1t has always been admitted that

political, religious or otherwise, the
men or the parties representing
certain interests, possessing the
greatest experience in the manage.
ment of business before such as,
semblles, had the greatest influence
and power to benefit the side whose
interests they espOuSed. If this is
the fact, then the constituents OF
the Sixth Congressional District Of
Mississippi are peculiarly fortunate
in having Judge Van EatOna s their
Representative, and for that reason
alone, should return him to the next
Congress to look after their inter
rstS. II there was any doubt on
this subject, the opinions of friends
and foes, in regard TO his ability,
zeal, industry and integrity would
settle it aud it is clearly shown
hy his conduct on the many import
ant measures that have come up
before the present Congress.
But there is one measure of more
and vital importance To the South,
where his action and Judgment
cannot be too highly valued, aud
that is, the sO-called Education Bill,
the most perfect bill of abOmina.

An Event That Settles Mans Destiny for

Anybody can marry. A man may be
so homely that the reflection of his face
would dent new milk-pan, but he can
marry. know miserable creatures
who have existed scores Of years, and
all they have been able to get was to
get married. Down through the flying
years / have passed safe from Cupid's
darts. / have met young ladies SO
eager to get married that it kept them
up nights-with male companions. 1
have been besieged by old maids. bonn
barded with widows and out
tianked by book agents. '.Age does
not wither nor custom STALE man of

know about love, courtship and mar
riage you need not look in the census
of 1880 to find out. But ! shall not
lecture upon those themes. l have
marked the ebb and flow of taste in
these matters. There has been run
on coachmen until good drivers became
so scarce that the canal boats of
our distracted country were rotting at
their wharves and gilded horseshoes
were the fashionable adornments of
our homes. Then the drain of our for
eign noblemen left our restaurants and
BARRIERS shops without help. Afterward
the cockney dude was in demand until
the ladies became attached to a cheap
er kind of dog-with string. PITY
is akin to love-" and women marry
some very pitiable objects. Weddings
and funerals are put side by side in the
papers, for they both settle a mans
destiny for paradise or perdition.
There has been steady effort in our
progressive country to make divorces
as easy as marriage, but the lawyers
will always be more expensive than the
preachers. Young men, have seen
some happy marriages, but they are
founded on respect and mutual fitness.
They were undertaken with more calm
thought and preparation than moon
light and gum drops. There win be
the same moonlight after you are mar
ried, but q. small house and lot will cost
you coin of The realm. Buckle down
to your studies. &nd get an assured po-
