LOVE AND HAIR DYE.

Kcturah was leaning over the pair Of
bars which divided the back garden from
the meadow which wound past the ma
pic swamp, UP to the lonely sheep pas
turc, Apparently, She was watching a
mothcrly hen-turkcy conduct her dovny
brood through the high timothy grass;
but in reality she was wrestling with fate
'It's perfectly ridiculous." said Kctu-
rah. There never was in all this world |
a girl with half as ugly hair as mine If
it hadn't been for that hair, might have
had the chance of being married half a
dozen times, instead of drudging on here,
with my father scolding because l don't
accomplish more houscwork, and my
stepmothcr dcluging me with good ad-
vice. Oh, dear, oh, dear, | would
pluck it out by the roots, if it would do
any good"
And she seized the lucklcss red gold
trcSscs, a handful in each grasp, as if she
fain would have twichcd them out of
her head.

Natchez Democrat.

Natchez Democrat.
We have from a private letter G
running abstract of a speech NADIA
by Col. Stockdale at Ellisville, IN
Jones county, on Saturday, the 18th
of July. The letter states that
Colonel Stockdale was particularly
severe upon Judge Van Eaton,
referred TO those private pension
bills passing the House without
objection because there was not a
quorum present, intimating that
the Democrats we're not at their
posts, etc. He also brought mp the
matter of Van Eaton getting an
appropriation OF $4,000 for the
national cemetery road at Natchez,
"for the nabObs at Natcbez to ride
out with their fine horses" etc.
There formerly existed a feeling
of political rivalry between the
eastern counties of the State and
the counties on the river, but we
bad thought this feeling had long
since subsidized. So far as this por.
ton OF the sixth district is concern.
ed we are sure that such rivalry
does not exist. Whenever an ap.
preparation or any other benefit has
been secured for any part of the
district OIL our seashOre OF else.

suits of the war have been proba.
bly, more severely felt in the coun.
try around Natchez than IN any

on the people of East Mississippi
that had he been in Congress he
would have opposed the pitiful ap.
preparation for a national work IN
this place because the "naOObs" of
Ibis impoverished city might posi-.

u profit from iti If he does intend /
