Sermons on Practical Topics.

Rev. Dr. Short, Rector of st. Andrews
Church, has begun course of sermons
on Practical Topics" His next sub
iect will be on Sunday observance, with
special reference to Sunday excursions
Last Sunday, July 4th, he treated of
"Mercantilism" as our National Sin.
By mercantilism he meant the concen-
tration of the energies of the people, in
the various departments of professional
as well as industrial and commercial
life, on mere making money He felt
that we were old enough as a nation to
nave the inspiration of the people take
some other bent. He claimed that edu
cation, art, literature, poetry, statesman
ship aud all the higher ideals of life,
were stunted and dMarfed because the
talent and energy were absorbed in the
scramble for the dollar. He pointed
out the dangers which history warned
us followed such national enthusiasm,
but closed by asserting his belief that a
better day was coming, to be led in by
Democracy asserting its mastership, IN
social and economical, as well as in
the political direction of the people.

ton.

The Sham and the Real.

Every good thing has its host of imita-
tors every genuine article its counterfeits.
Bad manners and wicked habits have
theirs also but he who shams the bad
never boasts of it, while they who ape the
virtues of the good or simulate the genuine
never hesitate to place the counterfeit
before the public in their most alluring
tones. When these people initiate they
always choose pronounced type or popu-
lar subject TO copy from and when they
claim to be as good as so and so" or to
sell an article equal to 'sSo-and -So,n the
public may depend upon ii that Mr.. $50
aud So" and his article are always the best
of the kind Thus the sham is always
proving the genuine merit of the thing il
copies.
A firm of enterprising gentlemen produce
and popularize an article of household use,
such as the Royal Baking Powder, whose
convenience, usefulness, and real merit
make for itself an immense and universal
sale. A hundred imitators arise on every
hand, and as they hold out their sham
articles TO the public, yelp in chorus, Buy

Death of Mrs. Brame.

1t is our painful duty to chronicle the
death OF this most estimable lady, the wife
of our respected townsman, Judge L.
Brame. She died at one o'clock this morn
ing OF heart disease. She had been con-
fined to her home for the past two weeks,
and was supposed to be cow alescing, when
she passed away quite unexpectedly. as
stated. II is only brief space since we
saw her the very picture Of health and hap
piness, and hence the announcement of her
death this morning was great surprise and
shock to the community. Mrs. Brame was
niece of Ex-Governor McRae, and o.
Hon. Jas. B. McRae. A wide circle o
relatives and friends in this State and in
Alabama will receive with sorrow thu
tidings Of her death.

THE New Mississippian says that Barks-
dale's strength in the Copiah county con-
vention probably did not amount to more
than Is or 20 votes. In spirit Of fairness
to one of the most faithful servants Copiah
county, or the 9TH district has ever had, we
wish to make a correction of this state
nent. While Copiah has been always
conceded to Col. Hooker, being his native
heath, and owing to his personal canvass
and speaking at some of the boxes twice
and sometimes three times, still, to say
that Maj. Barksdale's course in Congress
was only endorsed by 10 votes in the coun-
ty convention is too gross misrepresenia-
ton to be published to other county con-
yentions, to go unnoticed. We not impute
this as intentional on the part of the New
Mississi plan, but it was Just piece OF
misinform alton. The truth of the matter
is, Barksdale had 43 SO votes instructed
for him in the convention. This vote was
tested on two resolutions, and while the
minority yielded gracefully to the will oil
the majority and will vote the tickel
straight out whenever nominated, still they
do not wish their numbers, already made
small by disappointed postoffice seekers
| figured down to decimal fraction in orde
to create boom for any CONFESSIONS
candidate. -Wesson Times.

he found time every evening to super
intend the lessons of his son, who at
an early age. was sent to college and of
whom he was determined to make an
educated man. The boy. however. was
no infant prodigy: and it is reported
of him that he did not always take the
shortest road either to or from school.
He was fonder of drawing than anything
else, and whenever he could escape
from his books, would amuse himself by
taking portraits of his neighbors. As a
boy he furnished an exception to the
rule: The child is father of the man."
In due time, however, the passion for
work. afterward so imperative, was born
within him. He studied at Besancon,
and there received the degree of bdche-
fier-en-ietters Immediately he was ap-
pointed tutor in the same college. and
in the intervals of his duties he followed
the course of mathematics necessary to
prepare him for the scientific examina-
lions Of the Ecole Normale He is now
one of the most learned chemists in the
French capital.
