A SWIndler.

Several weeks since our Bovina cor
respondent published a swindler who
was going the rounds among attluent
colored farmers and representing him
self to be a New Orleans commission
merchant, offering supplies at very low
prices, taking orders and promising TO
ship goods on first train, he always re-
curing a small amount of cash to
guarantee that the former would take
the goods out Of the depot and pay
for them in the Fall, by this

Gated colored man, and his honestly
earned dollar parted forever, and all he
has to show for it is an order for his
goods, which were something like
Erb's electric light contracts with the
city, too cheap to mean business. This
individual has evidently been industri-
Gus, and worked his passage into Issa-
quena county, as the following, from
the Mayersyille Spectator, will indi-
cate.
"a mhite man, with saddle-bags and
creased tongue, is going the rounds

tending to be a furnishing agent for a

Piles are frequently proceeded by a
sense of weight in th0 back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some af-

organs. At times, symptoms Of
Indigestion are present, as fiatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like persriration, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after get
ting warm, is a very common atten-
dant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching

Jail Escape.

Three colored prisoners and one
white one effected their escape from
the Jail at Rolling Fork Sunday night,
They were assisted by parties from the
outside. Three of them were confined
in the, cage with their cells open, and
one in the Jail outside the cage. The
north wall at the side of one of the
windows was tunnelled and through it
they made their escape. This leaves
the Jail without a prisoner. The
charges against them were a INSIDE

truth admitted in theory, ignored in practice,

and innumeral grottoes and recesses,
with white coral walls. At che base
of the Sea,God's throne a number of
dolphins and a great quality
of funny inhabitants of the
deep were observed disporting
themselves. Proteus in his voyage
through the heavens first visited the
sun, which is represented as a mass of
leaping, seething, lurld red flames,
within whose bosom dwells strange
species of beings, shaped like salaman-
ders. These appear perfectly at home
and comfortable in their fiery hablta-
tions. From the sun Proteus waited
himself to Mercury and there Jaw the
queerest specimens Of living beings
that it is possible for even his wonder
