A DISPATCH from Moss Point O,
last Saturday to the N. 0. Times
Democrat sums up OH the Congress
ional outlook in this district III the
coming campaign as follows:
An estimate of the strength OF
the four gentlemen named is about
as follows: Van Eaton-Adams
county, 4; Wilkinson, 4. Stock.
dale-Amite county, 3; Pike, 8;
Covington, 2; Lawrence, 9; Jack.
son 2. Seal-MariOn county, 2;
Hancock, 2; Harrison. 2. Carter
Jones county, 2; Perry,2; Greene,
2. This estimate leaves Stockdale
five votes to get, which may go to
him from friends OF Seal and Carter,
while Van Eaton will have nine
votes to get trCm the same source.
Ii is rather early for such specu.
latiOn, but as it is said, sit came to
the ape to deliver his opinion, who
suelt, and snuffed, and considered
OMIT we presume we have a right
to do likewise. We estimate as
follows: Van Eaton-Jacksvn, q;
Hancock, 2; Adams, 4; Wilkinson,
A; Marion, 2; Perry, 2; Greene, 2.
StOckdale - Amite. 3; Pike, 3;
CoviDgtOn, 2. Seal-Harrison, 2.
Carter-Jones, 2. These two last
mentioned gentlemen are not an
nounced candidates, and may not
join in the race at all. This esti.
mate, like that of our Moss Point
may be immature, but is the
best we cal make out at present.

The Ksrg Well at FindIsy Illuminating the

The Karg well continues to roar and light
up the surrounding country, and there is
now no doubt that great and almost ex-
hsustless reservoir of gas has been reached.
On Saturday subscription was taken up
among our business nen and six-inch pipe
erected at the mouth of the escape pipe, so
that the gas now escapes and is burned at
height of nearly sixty feet in the air. The
fame thus strikes to a height of nearly
hundred and twenty feet and the reflection
OF the light is seen for many miles around.
Besides the excursionists on Sunday, a large
number of people from distance have been
in the city and viewed the magnificent
scene presented. Each evening crowds,
compose .dsgeiy of strangers, gather at the
Main street bridge, and expressions of won
der and astonishment ore invariably heard
on every side. The gas at the Briggs well
also escapes from standpipe erected Sat

Mrs. Howard had left for Cincinnati

them standing in boxes in the down stairs

were all at the opera house and did not

to perform. He trims the congressman's

Mostly all the members take 'em. The

Against state Board of Doctors.

lOsnOclOn Age,
DIR. Sinnett has introduced "a bill to es-
tablish 4 medical board of examiners and
licensers, and to regulate the practice of
medicine and surgery in the state of Ohio,
and to define the duties and power of such
board" These autOerats, named by some
governor from among his henchman, shall
dictate who shall and who shall not practice
their profession in the slate. The bill gives
this board power to drive out of the pro-
fessiOn doctors who advertise. Under this
bill druggist could not sell patent med
icines, or Rochelle salts, or any of the
comparatively harmless medicines without
a prescription from physician. which is

LEGEND
A stranger once halted in great surprise,
And gazing upon funny device,
He shook his head,
And musingly said:
Il would like to know who that man is;
Why does he let his top boots rest
Upon the other fellows breast,
As he shouts his Sic Semper Tyrannis ,"
He arcosted man that passed the spot:
Good SIR" he said, ''can you tell me what
Is the sense of that phrase
Upon which gaze,
And what the pictures whole plan is ?"
''Bedad r said the man, Il hardly knows
Unless It's take your foot of my clothes,
In Dutch It's Sic Semper Tyrannis.
''But one thing know that may sound queer,
As you seem to be stranger here:
If your clothes are tore,
Buy at J. NJ. Knote's store;
They're cheap. OF my name amt McGinnis.
Through the whole of Ohio goes his renown
They've downed every other place in town,
Their motto's Sic Semper Tyrannis."
