Mr.. John bright Bids His Family Fare

Weu.
LONDON, December 29.-It was only
quite recently that Mr. John Bright was
informed by his medical attendants Of
his critical condition. The gentleman
appeared 10 be astOnished and incredu-
lous, but he bade his family an affection
ate farewell, and dictated, among other
things a message to Mr. Gladstone. He
desired the ex-Premier 10 be told that he
was grateful 10 him for his unfailing
kindness 10 himself, and that he placed a
very high estimate on the services which
he had rendered to his country. II is
gratifying TO know that Mr. Bright's
mind has all along been perfectly clear,
and that he has been able 10 listen with
enjoyment TO portions Of the works Of
Charlotte Bronte, which have been read
TO him during the last few days

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

The campaign, which has now
fairly opened, promises to be one
of the most important and exciting
in the political annals Of the
country. The DEMoCRAT-STAR, as
in the past, will always be found
the ardent and uncOmpromising
advocate of the Democratic party
and its candidates, but is opposed
TO rings and cliques.
The price for the DEMocRAT-STAR,
single subscriber, is 50 a year, in
advance, but in order to place the
paper in the hands of every one
who can read, we have put the
price at $3.50 to clubs of six

Editor Democrat. Star;
This body Of Christians met with
the Church at Ocean Springs, Oh
the 9th ult. Elder o. ID. Bowen
was elected moderator, and w. X.
Washington, clerk. The introduce
tory sermon was preached by Elder
B. W. Bussey, of New Orleans.
The Association was strengthened
by the addition of one church, and
now numbers eleven churches with
an aggregate membership of about
seven hundred. There was an av-
erage attendance, and the sessions
we're made quite interesting and
profitable by discussions Of the
several reports on Missions, Wo-
mans Work, Temperance, Sunday
schools, ETC., etc. A proposition
to admit female delegates, ELECTED
a warm and spirited discussion,
which was conducted with delight
full Christian courtesy. There be-
ing strong opposition to the ad-
mission of females as delegates TO
Baptist deliberativc bodies, the
discussion ended with the adoption
of a resolution, which relieved the
sisters of apprehension of being
asked to fill the responsible posi-
ton of delegates in the Association.
At the close of the business of
the Association, Mrs. M. j. Nelson,
missionary in New Orleans, delight
ed the children and older persons
with a most excellent address, on
our end0wments, responsibility
and accountability.
The good people of Ocean Springs
know how to entertain, for their
hospitality WAS abundant and salts
flying, judging from the frequent
remarks from delegates and Yisi-
tors. that they enjoyed themselves
so much.
The Association adjourned to
meet with The Biloxi Church, on
Thursday, before the 4th Sunday
in May, 1889.
Go on, thou servants OF the
and fulfill thy glorious, pre-
cious mission, and may He be with
thee always to guide, to comfort,
to strengthen and 10 bless.

"Buz," says Blackstone, fused Ia
be an interjection at Oxford, when
any one began a story that was
generally known there" "Chest-
nut" is not so significant in mean
ing unless the answer "rats," of
the vulgar, refers to repeated
cravings which so CRATE upon the
nerves at any time. The "buz of
the busy bee" has more refinement,
though equally as annoying.

Cost of a Cannery.

If the shipment Of fruits and
vegetables prove an Improbable
industry, then it would be wise for
every neighborhood where truck
farming is carried on to erect and
maintain a canning establishment.
Some one, writing to the Florida
Farmer and Fruit Grocer o n this
subject, says:
/ have seen some estimates on
canning plants that are two large,

WHY BLAINE WILL DECLINE.

Since il has come to light tina
Jas. G. Blaine is in fine physlca.
plight for a Presidential candidate.
new reasons are being given why
he will decline the nomination lor
President. One of these excuses
is that Mrs. Blaine objects very
seriously to her husbands being
again run through the SANDER mill.
The whole country will sympathize
with the good wife, whose husband
so poorly stood The crucial test of
turning on the lights of political
investigation. How her soul must
haye been stirred to the utmost
when the light of truth poured in
and penetrated so painfully deep
into the affairs of the Pinned
Knight, while his opponent stood
over against him, saying, cody,
''Tell the truth !" 1t was then that
slanderers WINGED, but, alas for
Mr.. Blaine. For the first time IN
many years the Republican party
saw their idollzed standard bearer
completely showed under, and
truth prevailed. 1t will be remem
bered, too, that Mr.. Blaine came
out with a libel suit on his hands,
which had the appearance of a de-
sire for truth that should place in
his hands the coveted winning card.
That, however, went by default,
and that card seems not to have
been Obtainable. Hence, this ex-
cuse accredited to Mrs. Blaine
would seem TO smack of sincerely,
though we see no reason why Mrs.
Blaine should have TO bear all the
responsibility of the objection,
when it is doubtless something of
a party objection, or ought to be.
But coupled with this objection,
and coming to light about the same
time, Mr.. Blaine expresses his
amazement at Cleveland's popu-
larity. Now, these propositions
have a sort of connection. Why
is it that by slander,..one grows
weary and faint, and the other
stronger and more popular. Ver1-
ly, truth is mighty to prevail, and
the object of its touch must rise or
fall as the facts to him are good or
bad. SANDER is a tyrant and she
hath her martyrs, but she standeth
not in the way of the clean and
pure Presidential candidate longer
than the American eagle shall
scream thrice. We are beginning
to think, in the light of reason,
that Blaine may not be a candidate
for President.
