EX-SENATOR MALONE.

Washington telegram, Jan. II.
Ex-senator Malone was at the capitol
the other day and he took, as usual, his
lunch of hot buckwheat cakes. Malone
is dandy as to his tastes. He wears a
shoe like lady's, and his Overgaiters are
knit. His coat is bell shaped, and his
linen is almost as fine as cambric. He
is as thin as a rail, and his 10O-pound
frame is made up of bone, brain and mus
Gle. He is particular as to his eating as
to his dress, and when he was in the SEN
ate he was the horror of both pages and
walters. He is fond of buckwheat cakes,
but always sends back the first plate
Once when the waiter brought him some
most savOry cakes Drowned to turn he
turned up his nose at them and said
"What kind of leather is that? order
ed cakes, and want them of buckwheat.
Go back to the cook and tell him want
fresh plate of cakes, and they must be
done brown"
The waiter then carried the cakes out
of the room, and picking up cold plate
he slid them off on to it, and then put
them on the stove to keep warm. A mo-
ment later he brought this same plate in
to Malone, who, looking at it critically,
gave the waiter 81, saying:
my boy, this looks like business, and
these cakes are fit for king"
Malone does not weigh 100 pounds.
His bones are as small as a diminutive
lady's, and his brain is so active that it
eats all the flesh off his frame. He seems
this winter to be a thinner man than ever,
and.he shines out in strange contrast to
his handsome wife Mrs. Malone watch
es the ex-senator with care, and, like
Mrs. Logan and the General, was with
him during part of his military career.
There was no Southern officer braver or
more chivalrous than Gen. Malone, and
the marrow of his bones is made up of
courage. AT the battle of Bull Run Mrs.
Malone stopped a few miles off, watch
ing the smoke and hearing the thunder
of battle. The report came to her that
her husband was wounded. A moment
later came Mahone's servant, to tell her
his masters wound was not dangerous,
and that the shell had only ripped open
his flesh. Mrs. Malone would not be-
lieve the messengers story. She wept as
she said: at can not be true. NY dear
will never have flesh wound, for there
is no flesh on him."

DISFRANCHISING VOTERS.

Vicksburg Post. ~}.ifif f-I-If- an 14I
We copy from the Natchez! Democrat
an article deprecating the conduct of
the white voters at the recent municipal
election in Jackson. We think the open,
bold course of the Jackson Democrats
is much to be preferred to pretense of
holding fair election, and stuffing and
manipulating the ballot boxes to pro-
duce result contrary to the will of
the majority of the voters. But would
it not be better to: legally disfranehise
the negroes, if they are to be disfran-
chised at all? The suffrage question is
in the hands of the State; qualifications
could be established, which, without dis
elimination against the blacks, would
practically eliminate the mass of them
from the polls, and then we would have
a good condition of politics. Then the
South could run a Southern man for
President, if our people wished to; then
there would be no objections raised to
a Southern man being placed on the Su-
preme Bench; and then the pistol -tOters,
ballot-box suffers and tin-horn gam
blers would not be local political leaders.
In our opinion, the last election in
Jackson was practically as fair as the
last Presidential election in this State,
but the Democrat has never criticised
that election, that we are aware of.

crossing the corridor entered the marble
room. where his visitor awaited him. He
found the latter in conversation with his
committee clerk. "What does he want?'
queried the Senator, gruffly, addressing
the clerk.
"He wants some money to take him
home. He SAYS he lives in Vermont"
What do you say your name is?'

LOVELETTERS.

Pittsburgh Post.
Why many men and women of brains
and intelligence suddenly become silly
when they write love letters, is one of
the peculiar phases of human nature
that il is hard TO fathOm. 1t has been
said that the English speaking race is
made up of sentimentalists, despite all
the outward signs of Journalism and
frigid reserve. Business men whom one
would never accuse of anything akin to
maudlin poesy and gush have in numer-
GUS instances come to the surface in
their love making episodes as incarnat-
ing the most intense ideas of that ''sick-
ly sentimentalism" to which Goethe re-
ferred in such caustic terms. Men of
eminence in science, the law and litera-
ure have written some of the veriest rot
in their epistolary effusions of an anna
tory nature.
Lord Bulwer, whose literary works
are generally remarkable for their ele-
CANT diction, classic SMILES and lofty
ideas, as pen and ink lover was the
embodiment of everything pulling and
mawkish, absurdly, idioticallv sentimen-
tai. The prOsaic associates of the count
ing house have Just furnished another
example of what plain. practical bust
ness man can do in writing gush, when
chriSmed by the sacred fire of Eros
We are prone to speak of the budding
affection of the young, with all its TO
nance and misty aspiration, as ''calf
love" And what in the name of CON-
mon sense shall We designate this acme
of absurdities- climax of badness
when it crops out in adults? Is such
love healthy and ennObling? We doubt
it. We believe that in the majority of
instances where true love subsistS be-
tween men and women, where the affec-
tions have been firmly cemented, and
last for life time, it has a better basis
of intercommunicatiOn than in the ex-
change of such silly terms as "Baby
Bunting" and "Bunnie," and the filling
of paper with twaddle about hugs and
kisses.
When the hugging and kissing period
comes with earnest true hearted people,
they are equal to the emergency and
can satisfy themselves in practical
manner, without indulgence in namby
pamby letter writing. There is dig
nifty and loftiness about pure, honest
well sexed affection that lifts it above
that level.

THE MISSISSIPPI PLAN.

SOME INTERESTING EVENTS THAT PRE-
CEDED THE JACKSON ELECTION.
New York Independent.
This story is worth repeating. 1t comes
from Jackson, the Capital of Mississippi,
and we give it from the Southwestern
Christian AdoOcGte. A young white man
who had grudge against a colored man,
of some months standing, on Christmas
eve gathered a crowd of his associates
and with tin horns and e-crackers they
followed him in the streets. The young
white blew the horn in the negro's face,
and the latter, who was escorting a lady,
bore the insulting demonstration with
patience until several large fire e-crackers
were dropped across the arm of the young
lady. The negro then dismissed his es-
cOrt, stepped into butcher-shop, picked
MP knife, with which, after receiving
three shots from the revolver of his as
sailant, he nearly severed the head of the
young white from his shoulders. Both
died in less than two hours. This incl
dent was used to frame an inflammatory
indictment against the Republican city
dQlUlIllSIrdJlOIl, duu Iilc DcIuOCIdtlC OOn-
ventiOn appointed committee of 100 to
see that its ticket was elected. Likewise
the Young Mems White League adopted
resolutions that if any negro attempted
to run for office in the approaching mu-
nicipal election "he does so at his peril" !"
and negroes were further warned against
attempting to vote a ticket other than
the regular Democratic one. At meet
ing of colored voters, to whom it was evi-
dent that the whites of Jackson and the
surrounding counties had conspired to
use murderous weapons to enforce their
decree, a resolution was passed declaring
that in the interest of peace, and for the
protection Of life and property, the col
Ored people refrain from voting or in any
way participating in said election, and
Withdrawing the cOiored candidates for
Aldermen.
This all happened within three weeks,
in the capital of Mr.. Lamar's state, and
anything more abominable and barbar-
Gus it is impossible to conceive. Missis-
sippi does not enjoy Republican gov
ernment whatever its form may be.

PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE.

Trenton (N. j. Gazette.
Jonathan Stewart, the wholesale gro
Ger and pork packer of this city, is pro-
badly the oldest business man in Tren-
ton, and one of the oldest in New Jersey
and the country. He has been continu-
ously in business since April l, 1881, a
period of almost fifty-seven years. His
experience, therefore, extends over more
than half the entire existence and history
of this Republic. In a conversation with
him few days ago on this subject Mr.
Stewart said that "his experience of the
ups and downs of business during this
fiftyseven years had convinced him that
the greatness and prosperity of the coun-
try was due more to the protective tariff
than to all other causes combined. Every
fact of my experience" he added "proves
this to be true, and confirms me in my
opinion. 1t is not necessary to
multiply examples, but can say that my
experience all through our economic his
tory for those forty-seven years has been
that low tariff uniformly produced de-
preston and hard times, while protec-
tive tariff stimulates our productive en-
ergies and makes the country prosperous
and happy"
