Burning to Death--HoW TIC Prevent

Burning to Death--HoW TIC Prevent
1t.
Scarcely a week passes in which we
do not see an account of a female burnt
to death by the catching on fire of her
clothing. Much of the danger and
fatality of this might be prevented by
the exercise of a little presence OF
mind and courage. If they would i'm
mediately lie down, the clothing would
burn much less rapidly, and the flames
would not ascend to the body and face.
If parents and teachers will impress
upon their children and scholars the
Importance of this, and females will
accustom themselves to talk and think
of it as the best remedy, they would,
instead of missing, adopt it at once,
because it would occur to them as the
best plan, and it would save many a
life.
Therefore let parents talk to their
children about it; let teachers talk to
their scholars about it; let women
generally talk and think about it, and
become accustomed to think of it as
the only plan of safety upon such &C.
casions, and they will instinctiyely
adopt 1T.

WHITE SLAVES.

Strikes in the coal mines Of Pennsyl-
yania still continue. It is a war Of
poverty against wealth, Of half-paid
labor against bloated capital. at is
the direct result of the inhuman self
ishness of capital. the barbarOus hog
gishness of monopoly, and the cruel
recklessness of corporations controll-
ing slave labor" says the Chicago
Herald.
The miners who are engaged in
these outbreaks make no defense, yet
the kilograms tell US that E"they are
driven to desperation because their
families are starving"
White women and children starving
in this Christian age, and in a Christian
State like Pennsylvania Think Of it !!
Yes, think Of it ye freedom shriekeEs
on the other side of the line. Think
OF it, We, who had SO much love and
philanthropy for the well-fed, we'll
clothed and weli-housed Southern
slaves twenty live years ago, and look,
EoW, at your own white slaves stary-
ing on your side Of the river JordUn.
Fortunate for the South, it is that We
have no such scenes here. Were 1t 80,
they would be charged to political
causes, we would be denounced by the
North as inhuman beings not worthy
Of self. government, and a committee
Of inquest would be asked Of Congress
to sit upon our political corpses and
adjudge us guilty whether or no.
Contrast the condition of the aver
age Southern laborer with that of the
average laborers North, and what do
we find? At the South We find the
laborers happy ana contenteo' ana, al
this time especially, reveling in plenty
as the result Of his years labor in the
cotton field. All of them have money
there is no starvation here. The
Northern press and kilograms tell Us
how it is at the North-poverty in
employment, poverty in compensation
want and bloodshed. Somebody write
us Il book on this--leave out TIT
chains, bull-whip and bloodhounds
but be sure to put in the guns, pistols
and dirks-the pale and shriyelet
faces of the starved and the ctffins O.
the dead.

The NJ, j. & c. Railroad.

Natchez Democrat.
Our respected contemporary, the Port
Gibson Reveille, in it's last issue, gave
currency to d number Of startling ru.
mors in regard to the present status of
the NatcheZ, Jackson & Columbus
railroad. That the control of the road
had passed into the hands Of the Hunt
ington system; that the road was to be
changed to a standard gauge from Ilar-
riston to Jackson; that its route vas to
be changed from Harriston so as to
pass through Port Gibson, and thence
Id St. Elmo, leaving out in the cold the
important stations between Harriston
and 81. Elmo, etc., etc.
at this end Vi the line. the domicil
of the n, j. g. G. Co., we have heard
nothing of these wonderful changes.
Indeed from information from the
most reliable source we feel sure that
we can say to our friend OF the
Reveille that there is no foundation in
fact for rumors he says are current Ill
his town. There would be many pre-
liminarles 10 be observed before the
change indicated by these Tumors
coull be made, and these could not be
taken without at least the knowledge
Of the directory of the road and the
people of Natchtz.
The people of Port Gibson we think
made a mistake in not encouraging the
construction of the Little j. road
through their town, and we think
quite as strongly that they have
rallied to derive The benefit they ex
pected from the passage Of the L., N.
0, & II. road through Port Gibson.
1t has been a drain upon their bust
ness until, from what we have been
told, there is little left of the bea ltiful
little city that is worth preserving eX
cept the Port Gtb5un RAvAllle.

Lmmleration to tho South.

A writ-r Ia the s., Louis lrpubli-
can says That The S0uIh could not roll
back The tide Vt immigration II shs

ty years, when the people OF the West
find they are over-crowded, they will
make a rush for the healthful and fer-
tile Southern lands. When that time
comes men Of capital and enterprise
Will not stop to enquire into Southern
sentiments and prejudices. They will
ignore the alleged race problem and
roll like a mighty wave all over that
magnificent DOMAIN following the Ap.

mac around almost TO the Mississippi,
including at least t%hree-fourths OF the
area OF the Southern AtlaOtic and
East Gulf States. Kentucky, Ttnnes-
see and large parts of Arkansas and
Texas will also come in for their share
of immigrants. This movement can-
not be longer delayed.

A NEW assessment in this county
and in Vicksburg is much needed. In
fact there can be no just and accurate
taxation here until one is had.
The Assessor is one of the most re
sponsible officers, but the last Il in
this county failed to do his work well.
Our Legislators should carefully
look into this matter, and they will be
convinced that it will be exceedingly
unwise to let affairs drift along two
years until the Legislature meets again.
We are impressed with the belief we
have now a competent and trustworthy
ASSESSOR, and if he is empowered TO
do this work, it will be well and
promptly done.

AustrIa's Reasonsfo n not Receiving
Consul Jonas.


CHICAGO, Jan. 16-The Daily News
has q Washington special which says:
"Charles Jonas, Of Madison, Wis, was
nominated by the president as consul
at Sprague on April Is, 1885. Mt.
Jonas II a native Of Austria, Hungary,
bnt has lived IN this country q Number
OF years. The Austrian government
refused his exequatur without further
explanation why he had made speeches
aud written newspaper articles DEF
nouncing the government Of Austria.
Some weeks ago the secretary Of State
telegraphed Consul General Jussers, at
Vienna, 10 go to Sprague, and learn, II
possible, the real cause Of Austria's re-
fusal to receive Mir. Jonas. MIR. JUS
sers' report was received at the State
department to-day. He says the feel
ing against Mr.. Jonas was adroitly
worked up by the latter's predecessor,
G. A. Phelps, OF Massachusetts,, who
believed that the withholding Of Jonas
e~xequatur would result In the reten-
ton Of himself and his ~vice-consul.
Inquiry developed the fact that Phelps
had identified himself with the Ger
man and anti Czechian element. and II
was this element which set on foot the
charges against Jonas. After the Ger
mans had entered the field az the
champion of Phelps and accusers Of
Jonas, the Czechs went to the rescue
Of their countryman, and insisted that
it would be an insult to the Bohemians
if Mr.. Jonas, after being honored with
an appointment, should be disgraced
by the refusal Of Austria to accept
him. The question AT once became q
political one Of absorbing local import
ance, and the fact that Mr.. Jonas wa 8
an American citizen and nominated to
office as an American citizen and not
as a Bohemian, was entirely disregard
ed. The fight waged hot and furious.
Meetings were held by both parties.
The question was submitted TO the
members of the Bohemian legislature,
and Count Toafe, the prime minister,
has been threatened in turn by each
party in case he disregarded their
wishes. There appears to b. no doubt
in Mr.. Jessers' mind that Count Toafe,
in refusing Mr.. Jonas exequatur, was
influenced by what he regarded as the
political exigencies Of his administra.
ton, and gave no heed whatever to the
courtesy due to this government MOI
to the real merits OF the case. He be-
lieves all the personal charges, made
against Jonas in connection with hi
political ~antecedents, were a mer'
blind to hide the real objection, which
: was solely that issuing Of his extqua
tur would initiate the German elenIen
of the Bohemia and the city y
e Sprague.
