The Siege of Vicksburg.

At the corner Of Fifty fifth street and
Seventh avene is tall circular building,
with broad and inviting entrance. By a
circuitous route the visitor finds himself
suddenly upon a knoll in the heart OF the
town OF Vicksburg, Miss. Then in every
direction from the central elevation on
which he stands stretches out view OF
the Mississippi town, the sunlit and misty
hills beyond and across the mirror-like
surface Of the river lies fading landscape
bevond. In the warm foreground are
scenes oi war and bloodshed. The rebel
Notifications are filled with soldiers fl ghting
in their defence, and swarming with the
Federal troops who are storming the
works. Bursting shells and clouds OF blue
smoke fill the air, and only the sounds
and the smell Of gunpowder are lacking
to complete the delusion. 1t IL, in fact,
glance at the battle OF Vicksburg, as it
must have appeared on the memorable 22d
of May, 1868.
The ingenuity and art with which a re-
alistic foreground of earth and growins
grass and the wreckages of battle is blend
ed with the painted scene of the cycloraim
is admirable. The picture is joint pro-
duction Of NM. Joseph Bertrand and Lu
Glen Sergent OF Paris, and it was painted
from studies on the field OF battle, ant
from models and maps which have beer
officially approved as eorrect.-N. \. Sun

The Lauderdale Election to be Con-

Special to N. 0. Picayune.
MERIDIAN, MISS, June 12.-The prohi-
bition question isn't settled yet. To-day
Chancellor Evans enjoined the supervisors
from declaring the result of the election,
ON three grounds. First, the local option
act was in violation of that provision OF
the constitution which delegated the law
making powers 10 the Legislature second,
in violution of that provision OF the constr
trtion that requires the result OF an cleo
lion TO be reported to the Secretary Of State;
third. in violation OF that provision OF the
constitution which provides that the Leg
islature shall provide for a contest OF all
elections.
II was also enjoined on the same ground
that the election was not a fair expression
of the will OF the people, inasmuch as sew
eral hundred voters at Meridian were de-
MED vote because of only one voting
place and for other Irregularities IN the
management of the election.

A HABIT of President Cleyeland's which
has not conduced TO the advantage of his
party and cannot be beneficial to himself,
has been his indefatigable liking for work
He is probably the hardest working man
in the United States. He tolls at his desk
singing his name and examining papers
from morning till night, and, if it were
possible, would not stop then. Work has
been his only interest, and 80 he has made
IT bis only occupation.
With the new order of things which il
about to be introduced into the White
House we feel sure that this viii be
changed. Mr.. Cleveland's mind will,
doubtless, hereafter be occupied with far
greater variety OF interests than was the
case at the close OF his first year in Wash
ington. There will be demands upon his
time and attention to which he was not
previously subjected. but which he cannot
possibly regard with the same impulse oil
antagonism that was reused by the impor-
tunities of Office seekers. His thoughts
will survey broader field, and his sym
pathies will be more widely extended, and
without knowing it, perhaps, he will find
himself giving moments to reflection aud
to original mental activity which he has
been accustomed to devote to the labori-
Gus and interminable occupations of his
desk. He will work less and think more
and that change cannot fail to be at once
| useful to the country, source OF gratif-
cation to his friends, and lasting bless
| ing to himself. No wonder that the com.
| ing blissful event excites the liveliest in
terest throughout this happy land.-N. Y

For The CLARION
Prohibition Election in Clarke
County.

The result of the election in Clarke coun-
ty under the new local option law is ex-
ceedingly gratifying to the prohibitionists.
There were 1905 votes polled against the
sale" and 59S ''for the sale" The county
had already secured prohibition by special
act of the Legislature passed in 1884. After
about two years trial the people of the
county have declared BY an overwhelming
majority in favor of the propriety and
efficiency of prohibitory legislation. The
only hopes the whisky men had in carry
ing the election in the recent contest was
their expectation OF voting the colored
people of the county for whisky. Their
efforts, however, to convince the negroes
that the election was "trick" to COLOMBO
them and reduce them back into slavery
proved altogether futile. The colored peo-
pie in most parts of the county stood side
by side with the whites in their determine
ton to save our county from the curse OF
the saloons 1t can be said to the eternal
honor of the colored people OF Shubuta,
which contains a population OF near 600,
that not one of them cast his vote against
the home and in favor of the saloons. This
was a better showing than the white peo-
pie made, there being one white man in
the town who voted for whisky. At
Shubuta box, out of 205 votes polled, only
16 were "for the SALE" three of whom were
whites and thirteen were blacks. Both
the prohibitionists and anti's were exceed
ingly active in their efforts to carry the
county. The prohibitionists sent out speak,
ers from the towns ON each Sabbath; and
prohibition clubs were organized at most
of the white and coIored churches before
the election. ID. w. HEIDELBERG.

The Same Conclusion Expressed in
Two WAYS.
MR. cHILps's owN VIEW OF 7

MIR. CHILDsS OWN VIEW OF 1T.
During the last fortnight a number of
our contemporaries have been good enough
to print very kind and handsome things
OF the proprietor of the Public Ledger,
and have connected them and the name
with the highest executive office in this
country. Two of the articles referred TO,
one from the Baltimore News and the
other from The Times of this city, are
republished on another page Of this morn
ing's issue, not for the purpose OF endorsing
what they say but because they are typical
of the nature of nearly all of them, and
because they explain the necessity for
what mention of the matter is to be made
in this place. Many letters also of the same
general tenor have been received.
or course such expressions are very
gratifying to Mr.. Childs as exhibiting a
strength of personal regard for which he is
at a loss to make adequate acknowledge
ment. That is the one light in which he
prizes them, and he prizes them very highly
But in so far as they suggest that he should
be nominated for President of the United
States, that is another sort Of matter-still
gratifying as a token of warm goodwill,
but at the same time looking TO an i'm
possibility. Mr.. Childs is quite well aware
that the estimable journals that have made
favorable mention of the suggestion and
the numerous influential friends who have
I written him on the subject, do not pretend
+ to be invested with the authorities and
powers of National Conventions, and he is
therefore not declining an offer which is
not yet made, and that is not at all likely
! to be made, by the Convention Of any party
organization still in his view of what he
regards as necessary in this particular in
stance, he thinks that not even his silence
should be permitted to give encourage
ment or to look like giving encouragement,
to a proposal to make him nominee for
President. Indeed, if his very partial
friends In the newspaper press aud other
vacations who have taken favorable notice
OF the proposal were actually invested with
full Conventional powers, or could indu-
ence and control a sufficient number of the
voters of the United States to make his
election absolutely certain-and under
those circumstances would make the offer
he would then only have the stronger
reason to say, and would say with more
emphasis, if that We're possible: 'This
manifestation of your good will and great
favor is very welcome TO me, but you pro-
pose to do what should not be done, and
what | cannot under any possible circum-
stances agree that you shall do."-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

From Harper's Weekly we learn that two
years ago it was noticed by his sisters and
other relatives that "Mr. Cleveland's adj
miration for Miss Folsom was becoming a
more ardent sentiment than that Of a
guardian for ward The discovery was
hailed with great joy, but it was kept a
secret in the family. A year ago, in the
spring of 1885, soon after Mr.. Cleveland
became President, Miss Folsom was guest
of Miss Cleveland at the White House.
During that visit the important question
was asked, and the engagement was made.
Again, in the fall Of the year, Miss Folsom
and her mother made visit to the White
House, and at that time the time of the
wedding was fixed. 1t was 10 be in June
| following, but no date was named. Not
until the return of Miss Folsom from
Europe. on May p, was it decided that
the ceremony should take place ON the fol-
lowing Wednesday" This will crafty the
curiosity Of all who desire to know the
time and plan of the courtship.

Analysing the Baking Powders

Under the direction of the New York
State Board of Health, eighty-four differ
ent kinds Of baking powders, embracing
all the brands that could be found Tor sale
in the State, were submitted for examina-
ton and analysis by Prof. C. F. Chandler,
a member of the State Board and Presi-
dent of the New York CITY Board of
Health, assisted by Prof Edward G. Love,
the yell-known late United States Govern
ment chemist.
The official report shows that large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime many Of
them to such an extent as to render them
seriously Objectionable for use in the prep
aration of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine samples.
THIS drug is employed in baking powders
to cheaper their cost. The presence OF
| lime is attributed to the impure cream OF
| tartar of commerce used in their manufac-
ture. Such cream of tartar was also
analyzed, and found to contain lime and
other impurities; in some samples TO the

Mississippi Wheat.

There is fine sheaf of wheat on exhibit
ton at the waiting room of the Mississippi
Valley depot, which Capt. A. A. Sharpe
says he never saw excelled anywhere.
The heads are well developed, the ber-
ries plump, large and hard, and in the
opinion of good judges the field will yield
fully forty bushels to the acre. 1t was
grown on Robinson's plantation, near Rob
insonville, Tunica county, and its owner
has twelve acres fully up to sample. In
the vicinity is another wheat field of 800
acres, now ready to cut. The sample is a
winter wheat of the Red Mediterranean
variety apparently.
