another colored boy were playing with
a 'bull dog" pistol and did not know
it was loaded. Parker's friend held
the pistol when they were enlightened
as to their error. The ball went
through Parker's left ear, entered his
neck Immediately back of the ear, run
around and came out under the right
ear and strange to say it did not kill
him. DR.. Birchett was called and he
now thinks Parker will get well.

Interstate military Matters.


I. A. Marshall, Jr., secretary of the
Fair Association, returned yesterday
from an extended trip in the interest
of the inter. State drill. In answer to
an inquiry he stated that he had had a
satisfactory trip, and was royalty treat
ed everywhere he went. The military
are taking an eager interest in u drill
and many Of them expressed a great
desire to see Vicksburg. The indica-
tons were that we would have
a large and representative attendance
Of companies throughout the
South, and as far North as New Jersey,
Illinois and Missouri. Gov. Lowry
has accepted an invitation to take
command Of the encampment, and will
have a staff Of distinguished soldiers
to assist him. He will also invite
Gov, McEnery and the legislature of
Louisiana to attend in a body.
The State militia of Louisiana have
been ordered to Baton Rouge to be
inspected by the legislature, which
meets the first Monday in May,
and it is hoped that they will
come up in a body to attend III drill.
1t will be the finest parade ever seen
in our city.
Mr.. Marshall said he and Pat Henry.
Esq, would leave for Jackson to-day
to confer with Gov. Lowry and ar
range the details Of the encampment.
Mr.. Tilford is on bis way to Texas
to see the Houston Light Guards in
regard to their attendance at our drill.
If they come our people will give
them a royal reception.

BILE BEANSl What a funny
name for a medicine Nevertheless
it is very significant as applied to the
article. Bile, accordingly Webster, is
a yellowish bitter, viscid nausceous
fluid, secreted by the liver" When.
ever the liver does not act properly
this fluid is retained in the blood and
poisons the whole system, and sallow-
ness and misery is the result.

Inquiry by the reporter has elected

said: Il think the socialists Of this

"For three years past the communists
have been quietly arming themselves,

And so my lay
Shall be OF boyhood-yesterday
When q child
Went rompiDg wild
In woodland paths where sunshine smiled
Among the herds
And merry birds
wandered with Iuy gladsome words,
And all day long
warbled song
To nature and her kindred throng.
With tousled hair
And feet all bare
gathered flowers everywhere,
And was not shorn,
For then no thorn
Had from my checks the dimples torn.
Igamboled on
The velvet lawn
At evenings tide and DAYS first dawn;
danced and sang
Til household rang
With laughter ut my bantering.
y climbed the trees
And chased the bees
From stealing honey there with ease;
Iplsnted flowers
Through all the hours
And watched them nurtured by the showers
ssGz-4 Thus in haze
My boyhoOd days
Have passed. aui ] can only gaze,
But never see
Their rhapsody
Save now and then in memory. A.
For wrinkles now
Have plOwed my brow
And weighty care has shownme how
1t leaves trace
On boyish face
As age comes on to take its place.

For I believe

Both young and old
On fields of gold
Whom He the future does unfold.
