q genial and companionablo gentleman
and a public spirited and useful citizen,
lie was about sixty-two years old, native
Of Mississippi, and resident of Jackson

which was crowded to Overlooking by
citizens from every walk OF life.

thereon, the States TO have the privilege
of assuming their notes less 10 per cent.
deduction. otherwise the tax is TO be col
lccted from the land OF individuals us pro-
vidcd in the original act.
The bill 10 authorize the sale TO aliens of
certain mineral lands was taken up for
consideration, and Mr.. Faulkner, n mem
Der of the committee ON mines and min
ing, from which the bill had been re-
ported, spoke in opposition to it. lie
regarded il, he said, ~ a bill iaught with
danger TO the county. The act of 1887,
which the bill proposed TO modify, was the
first act passed which affected the holding
Of real estate by aliens, and that net was
correct in principle. lilo knew OF no coun-
try that permitted aliens or foreign cor
porations to purchase and hold real estate.
The bill would not allow individualst to oh.
tain mineral rights in this country, but il
would allow, and that was its purpose,
corporations formed in England, France
patents TO mining lands. To that he was
opposed.
Mr. Evaris favored the bill and Mr.. Call
opposed IL.
Mr.. Dolph said the law Of 1887 had been
Wm'N uEUlhhN lilN tNN VI WloNlIE lOItlSn-
ers TO hold large tracts OF agricultural
lands. The bill simply restored the con-
dition Of affairs in the mining districts OF
the Territories that existed before the act
OF 1887
The discussion having closed the Qucs-
ton was taken on the amendment offered
by Mr.. Faulkner, and the vote was an.
nounced-yoas 20, nays, IL. No quorum
having voted the roll was called and forty
six senators answered 10 their names.
Without any further vote ON the bill or
amendment the bill was laid aside and the
unfinished business was taken up, being
the bill to provide for the admission OF
Dakota into tho Union and for the organi'
Eation OF The territory Of Lincoln.
The substitute reported from the COM
mittee on Territories 10 the original hill.

Mr. Butler obtained the floor and tho
bill went over I'LL tomorrow.
The message from the President relative

which 10 locate the Seminole Indians was

The Fourth OF July.

It would require the conception OF
Michael Angelo, the genius OF Raphael
aud the coloring of Titan TO paint the
magnificence presented on this occa-
sion, "Ere rosy dawn had mantled the
sky with her crimson and gold" old
and young, rich and poor, black, white
and rusty were on the "qui vive" OF
excitement, looking forward with de-
lighiiul anticipation to the pleasures OF
the day. Carriages, coaches, hacks and
the d. Stein deposited successfully
their burden OF prattling babes, charm
ing misses and dignified fnatrons, that
evoked echoes of merry peals of silvery
laughter from the woodland forests,
from which golden gieams came and
went in the azure sky. Great rosy
clouds seemed to drop down sweetness
ON the smiling earth. BY noon the
assembly was complete, and sweet
strains of music were waited from the
broad and lofty Pavilion, which ir-
resistibly attracted the fairy Terpsi-
chorians, who tripped the ''light fan
,as,ic" with the abo,nlOn that con-
trastcd so admirably with the non
cbatence of their devoted cavaliers.
Intentty observing the gtittering ndorn'
ments and military bearing of the
Ouachita Pelicans, the courtfy grace OF
the knights of Pythias, the noble
ardor of the Ouachita Fire Co., and
knights of Labor, we pause in amaze
ment and struggle to convince our
selves that we are not minsling with
the gallant knights OF old.
J. II, Trousdale, captain of the
OuachIia Pelicans was unanimously
commended for his SIX i'll which WAS APP
