"NIy Name Is Lamar -

The following amusing incident
is related as having occurred in
New York City on Decoration day,
to appreciate which fully one must
know, or have seen the sedate,
dignifed Secretary of the Interior
"Just as the National Guard had
passed, Secretary Lamar, in true
Jeffersoniah style, elbowed bis
way through the crowd to the
grand stand, without any carriage
Mr.. Lamar had an experience. He
had encoutered a policeman from
the depths OF Harlem who had
ordered him to "G'wan out o. tlis.'
When the Secretary said "My
name is LAMAR" the policeman
had wittily responded:
81 don't care if your names
Smith,"
"At last Mr. Lamar said he was
the Secretary of the Interior, and
must get to the grand stand. The
knowing policeman looked at the
Southerner's battle breathing face
besitated, and let him in.

In 1884 the Democratic party of
this District was thoroughly re.or.
ganizcd and disciplined, and a glo.
rious, valuable victory was the re
suit.
No man, We care not whether he
lives in the North or South, can
deny that the portions of the pop.
ulation who ought to rule the CON-
munites, the counties, and the Dis.
trict, are ruling them. No man can
deny that the union and discipline
of the property owners and intel
ligent people are of great value,
not only to them, but to those too
ignorant to rule themselves. No
man can deny that we have one
of the ablcst and most influential
members of Congress. No one
can show the slightest necessity
of a change from an experienced
able and influential member, to Q
new member. No one can deny
that o division of the Democratic
party, sufficient to defeat it's can
didate would be denoralizing ant
injurious in the extreme to tht
material interests of the Delta.

BABY TIGERS.
An Unusual Uprcar Among taa Wild Baasta
in hensgsFia.

The oldest people in animal husi-
ness state that there has never
been an instance where young
tigers have been born in this eli
mate, but the record is broken.
In Forepaugh's menagerie, now in
winter quarters, there are SIX as
little and brightly.marked tigers
as anybody ever saw. Last Thurs
day morning, at daylight, the keep
ers were surprised by an unusual
cOmmotion among the cat animals.
The men got out strong ropes,
lassoes and nets, believing that
some of the more formidable of
the wild beasts were out of their
dens.
They approached the wide stairs
with caution and entered the room.
The tiger den was a scene of
fierce confusion, and the other an.
imals shared tho excitement. The
men advanced to the front of the
den and were met with demonstra
tions of anger. Lying close to the
wall in one corner was n huge
Bengal tiger, and ut the side
pair of beautifully marked cnbs,
with eyes closed, like q young
Kittens. with cries Of wonder
the men gazcd at the treasures
which had been born during the
night. Still they could not under
stand why all the wild beasts
should seem so restless. One of
the keepers, following the eye of
a hugo panther shouted;

There IS Danger In 1t.
Meridian News.l


The people Of LaudeFdalc comfy
in times past have bad Il bitter
taste of what the manipulation of
the negro by unserupulous white
men will result in. The terrible
scenes which attended the killing
of Judge Bramlett years ago, and
the more recent bloody affair at
Marion in which white men we're
slain at tho polls, are too wildly
impressed upon the minds OF our
people to be effaced very soon.
The negro is peaceable enough. re-
spectful enough, when lett to him.
self But with white leaders to
back him, he becomes a dangerous
firebrand.
There are evidences already,
plenty of them, that he feels the
importance of his vote in the com.
ing election; that he is already be-
coming moro arrogant. Both
sides must bear their share of the
blame for this state of affairs,
Both have endeavored to reach
the negro vote. One side will
fail in the effort to secure it, and
it is clearly apparent that the
whiskey men are not the ones who
will fail. Charges have been free
ly made that unscrupulous means
have been resorted to in order tc
secure the negro vote. 1t is ever
charged that secret meetings have
been held at night among the ne
gros, and that the old radical tao
tics are being adopted. We can
not think that there are any whit,
men so false to themselves as 4
adopt such measures. If the nc
groes are encouraged to go solidl,
to the polls as they used to &c
and are encouraged to vote solid

The following is reprint from the
HBOlivar Times" about the depart
ure of the Bolivar Troop when it
first left for the army, with the
names of the officers and many of
the men. This was in May, 1881.
We learn that only those names
are given which went from the
county ON tho boat named, many
members Of tho company after
wards joining their command in
Memphis. We are informed that
of the thirteen officers and non
commissioned officers who then
left but two are living, Col. La
fayette Jones and Col. +. A. Mont
gomery. OF the men whose
names are mentioned, thore are
not now moro that SIX.
We will next week re.publlsh a
letter from the Bolivar Troop to
the same paper, after the battle of
Belmont, in which battle the
Troop was the first to engage,
and was commanded by Col. Jones,
then the 1st Lieutenant. We do
not doubt that these old publica-
tions OF twenty-five years ago will
prove interesting to the few sur.
