c0rrON PAUPERG.

It is a common remark now that
some individuals are "land poor" A
year or more ago one Of the largest
firms in New Orleans failed because it
was 'land poor" The expression is
applied to one who owns so much
land, he cannot make it pay, and is
cramped to get money to pay expenses
on it.
In making an annual balance sheet,
how many cotton planters a say they
are not cotton poor?" Are not a ma
jority of them 10 that unsatisfactory
condition? Vicksburg is the exact
centre of the finest cotton producing
country in the world. 1t has the hand
ling Of Valley long staples and all va
rieties Of uplands. Yet the planters
around Vicksburg, after a good cotton
year, are growing poorer. Many OF
them are working encountered places,
and few indeed are entirely free from
debt.
1t is certain that the present system
Of devoting every energy to cotton, is
not the best for the landowners.
With good cotton years, they manage
to live, that is all; and a failure of the
cotton crop, from worms, drouth, or
any other cause, would nearly bank
rupt all of them.
What are the causes, and what are
the remedies? The causes are the la
Dor and the over-production. The la
Dor is such that cotton cannot be
raised at a profit with it. The way
to improve it, is to make the place self
sustaining by raising corn, meat, and
stock of all kinds. Such a place would
not need half the labor needed on a
place devoted exclusively to cotton
raising, and If the system prevailed to
any great extent labor would be plen-
tiful and reliable.
If Southern cotton planters do not
wish to die cotton paupers, they must
change their system.

A Bloody Tragedy.

The Meridian News OF yesterday has
the following account of a bloody
tragedy enacted between students at
Cooper Institute, ia that county:
Intelligence was received here yester-
day of a cruel and brutal murder that
happened at Cooper Institute, in this
county, night before last, just after
nightfall. The actors in the tragedy
were Richardson, of Louisiana, and j.,
7. Kyle, Of West Station, Holmes
county, Miss. They were fellow
students, and quarreled several days
ago, when friends interviewed and
prevented an alteration. Bitter feel
ing and deadly hate followed, and
threats were freely INDUCED in, which
led up to the tragedy of Thursday
night. Richardson was at supper
with his fellow students, and Prof.
Cooper and his family were also at the
table, when Kyle walked in and opened
fire on Richardson. The first shot from
his pistol went wild Of its mark, but
created great confusion and stampeded
the students. most Of whom fled from
the dining room in disorder and dis
may. Kyle closed on Richardson, who,
being unarmed, attempted to crawl
under the table, and was in a STOPPING
position when Kyle fred his second
shot at close range. The ball entered
the body below the seventh rib, and
ranging upward, as it was necessarily
bound to do from the position of the
body, came out at the right shoulder.
Richardson fell upon the floor mortally
wounded, and Kyle started to leave
the room when several students caught
hold Of him and attempted to detain
him, but he opened fire on them, shoot
ing Willie Parker, of this county, IN
the arm, and Charlie Eagsdale, of this
city, through the coat sleeve. They
released him and he made good his
escape. He is about % years old,
dark c~omplexioned, has brown eyes, a
little squirting, and black moustache ;
both his hands are slightly deformed,
the wright having been broken and
his left third finger is enlarged at the
second joint, and the middle finger Of
the left hand is also stiff. When last
seen he wore a dark brown coat and
vest dimly checked, and light checked
pants. Richardson is badly shot.
Watch the cars for him. 1t is a cold
blooded murder.

Fifth District Levee Board Meeting.
The meeting Of the fifth district
leyee board called to meet in Delta at
l o'clock pm. Friday, Jan. I'D,
owing to delay in arrival Of some Of
the members, was not held until that
evening, when it convened at the office
of Maj. George G. Waddill, in this city,
when Mr.. F. Shields, of Concordia,
Judge c. G. Cordill, of Tensas, and
Maj. George G. Waddill, of Madison,
members Of the board, were present.
Maj. Richardson, chief engineer of
the State levee board, was present and
made a report on work done, and now
in progress as we'll as an estimate for
the coming year. His estimate. how
ever, was not complete, as it will be
impossible for him to make it so until
the water falls. In closing his report
he stated that the levees Of the fifth
district are now in a better condition
than they have been since the war, but
it will require all the resources Of the
district to keep them up. After at
tending to the usual rotine business the
board made a levy Of FIVE mills, that
being the full amount allowed by TIT
constitution. Cat the next genera
election in 1883, the people Of thu
State will vote to change that section
of the constitution restricting this
levy to five mills so as to mike it reat
not more than ten mills.) The five
mills, so says Major Richardson, is not
sufficient to rebuild and keep in repair
the levees of this district. There
being but little business to attend
to it was soon finished, and Messrs.
Shields, Cordill and Richardson all left
on the l o'clock, am. train Friday
night for New Orleans, and Major
Waddill was to have left the same
night for New York, but was detained
over yesterday on private business.

railroads DELAYED bx Snow.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-The Wabash
through train due at 7:25 o'clock this
morning, is stalled in a snow drift
about thirty miles from the city, and
is not expected until noon to-day. The
tracks on the other road running into
the Western Indiana depot are now
clear and il the snow does not drift
to-day the trains are expected on time.
The tracks are all clear along the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific route, but
a slight delay is caused on account Of
the cold weather. The Omaha " Coun-
Gil Bluff special was eight hours late,
but the delay was caused at the other
end Of the route. The strong wind Of
yesterday piled up new drifts on the
tracks Of the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern, and the trains were from
forty minutes to one hour late this
morning.

CAPITAL vs.. LABOR.

The agitation now going on in New
Orleans between the Trades Assembly
and the courts, is a fulfllment in part
of a prophesy made in these columns
sonnet two months ago, to-wit: That
a greater, and more vital question than
any heretofore was confronting the
American people," that Sectional
lines and differences are mere pigmies
and the bloody shirt nothing, as COM
pared to organized labor against organ
lied capital" We said then, and
we say now, that organized labor can
revolutionize u present system of
laws and government" Capital is
represented by a few, while labor is
represented by many, and unless
there is agreement and harmony be-
tween them, the most powerful will
subdre the weaker. The progress we
have made in education, development
and material advancement has liber-
allied the masses. Rank and station
are nc longer held in awe. and the
toiling, honest laboring nan and me-
chanic, though he be poor, esteems
himself the peer of his fellow-man, be
the latter ever so rich. The laboring
man has his vote, he knows its power
and influence when it is associated
with other votes of like character. He
further knows that the laboring class,
the bread winners, far outnumber those
who deal in stocks and mortgages, revel
in wealth, or float upon the political
sea.
The wisdom Of cur statesmen is es.
sential to avert the danger that threat
ems the peace and welfare of our coun
trV.

THE NEW SYSTEM.

The more the new system of city
Government, that is for the Governor
to appoint the Mayor and four Alder
men, is discussed and estimated. the
more popular it becomes. Already a
vast majority Of the good citizens are
heartily in favor of it.
To begin with, all appreciate the
fact, that the present system is a fail
ure, and that it is growing worse with
every election. If any good citizen
has any lingering doubt left, let
him attend a meeting of the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen,
keep his mouth shut and his eyes and
ears open, and every vestige Of doubt
will be removed. One chunk of the
city government, which the present
system gave us was recently ere
moved" in a midnight row, where
the said chunk proposed "to do up" a
man, but enough remains to fully
illustrate the fruits of the striker, the
hummer, the i%ntriguer, the negro and
the hoodlum system.
Let our citizens reflect for a mo-
ment on the important duties that
will have to be performed by
our city officials, and they must at
once decide the present officials are I'M
equal to them, with some few well
known exceptions. The taxation, rev.
enue, finance, street, health, fire and
police departments are all to be car
ried on well, or the city will suffer.
Does any intelligent man think the
present Board is reliable and equal to
the task? Can we hope for important
business arrangements to be made by
men who have no business standing?
This is no time for spluttering non
sense about the glorious right Of the
citizens to select their own rulers. 1t
is not proposed to disfranchise any
one. The dear negroes and hoodlums
will enjoy their right to vote for Gov
ernor and other officials, just
the same as the largest tax
payer or business man in
the city. Nothing is suggested that
will not apply to all alike. The pro-
position is to improve and economize,
and all will enjoy the benefits alike.
The right to vote does not carry with
it the right to vote every few months,
the privilege of selling and buying
votes, and the robbing of honest PEG.
pie, because they happen to dwell in
the same city.
Nor is there any logic in the sugges-
ton that the Governor might be man
aged by, or might listen to the advice
Of a ring or clique in appointing the
Mayor and Aldermen. Such an insin-
uation is a SANDER of the present Gov
ernor, and it is very improbable that
any Governor the people will elect,
could be influenced TO appoint dishon-
est or incompetent men. Certain, it
is, that no Governor could be induced
to appoint such an n as the late la
mented ~, who was shot to death
at midnight in a row, or some of the
other specimens in the present Board.
The truth Is, the Governor would be
informed by the best citizens and bus
mess men, and he would undoubtedly
appoint the very best men representing
; all classes and interests. Confidence

A p-oe-shootlne Match.

VANDALIA, Mo-, Jan. 20-This city
has been in a state of great excitement
for the last four days, and all owe a
mad dog. On Monday, this mad dog,
a strange dog at that, was noticed trot-
ting along the main street. The Van
dalia dogs attempted to make his ac-
quaintance in a respectful man
ner, but he turned and bit
each and every one of them.
He also bit Mr.. Cash Blackburn, Pres
ident of the Vandalia Paint Company,
on the leg, just above the knee, infict-
ing a dangerous wound. The City
Marshal and other citizens saw the
dog, but nc attempt was made to shoot
him, and he got clear away.
In all thirty-seven dogs were bitten,
and this morning there was a grand
gathering Of fine dogs-thirty. three in
all-tied 20 the fence in the Public
Square, and there was a grand shooting
match, in which each man shot his own
dog. -Four dogs are yet to be shot,
and the owners threaten trouble il
they are killed. On the other hand a
lively racket is promised if these four
dogs are not given up.

A Green Grocer in Devon.

The green grocer's wa a roomy shop,
always d~eliciously fragrant, redOlent OF
herbs and some spices and presided over
by a good humored man and his wife,
who had o very distinct love Of their call
ing. Mrs. B cultivated certain vege-
tables in her strip Of garden back of the
shop, and being the very first person in
town to display punches of primroses or
have good sea kale." Likewise to be OBJ
served in Mr.. B. was the difference
in his manner when you bought his pota-
toes or greens, and when, in his second
calling of waiter, he handed you your
soup Or pudding at the small winter din
ner parties given in town.
In the shop he was affably discursive,
touching the onions or greens with a care
less hand and a free, light-hearted man
ner. At a dinner table he was curiously
solemn, and occasionally looked as
though he defied any one present to sug-
gest that his name hung owe a shop in
the High street. The fact that he sold
you potatoes for twopence a pound was
never to be COMPOUNDED with the other
more imposing fact that for 5 shillings an
evening, attired in an irreproachable cos
tune, he waited ON select dinner parties
among the smaller gentry Of the place.
When the real spring began to show
itself the little grocery had an inexhaust-
ible fascination for me. The garden was
so spontaneously gay and 1%ourishing
and its one bit of warm southern wall SO
early stood hung with blossoms, and B.
and his wife, moving about toward sun
set among the small garden beds and
modest vines, were such pictures of hon
est, homely content. that l was always
inclined to linger after l had made my
purchases, on the excuse of making an
inquiry into the condition of asparagus
and lettuce .--Aarper's Magazine.

A Confederate Giants Cavalry sword

A Confederate Giants Cavalry Sword.
Among the relics Of the late war
slowed away in the United States Ord
nance museum, ON Seventeenth street, is
a sabre fully five feet long, which was
found on the battle field Of Manassas.
This formidable looking weapon was ey-
identity made in some village black
smiths shop, from the tabled plough
share, at the outbreak of the war, and
its handle appears to have been carved
with q Jack knife from 4 cows horn.
A Virginian who visited the museum
last week recognized the sabre as one
that had been used by a giant Virginia
cavalryman in "Jeb" stuart's command.
"The cavalryman in question:" said the
Virginian, "was nearly seven feet high
and broad in proportion. He had that
big sabre made by a crossroads horse
sheer and promised to hew his way
through the Yankee lines with it and
enter Washington, but, poor fellow, ne
was shot at Manassas before he could
carry out his rash purpose. Washing
