a riot occurred at Wahalak, KEN

a riot occurred at Wahalak, Kem-
per county, Mississippi, last Monday
between the whites and blacks, in
which the former seemed to be the
principal sufferers-fve being killed
and six wounded. The unfortunate
occurrence appears to have been in
stigated by two unprincipled white
men who melted the negroes to do
their bloody work, and furnished
them with their ammunition. Many
white men rallied to the scene OF
trouble, and at last accounts no ne
groes could be found in five miles OF
the place. The indications are the
end is not yet.

LITERARY NOTES.
PAPER GARDEN.

A PAPER GARDEN.
February is the gardening time under
glass. Now we study what to do in the
spring. We read Of the Wild Goose Plum,
of peaches and berries, and how to kill
insects. The flower Of La Belle France, the
Fleur de Lis, or Iris, as we call it, is the new
garden wonder, and the February number Of
The .AmeyIeaH Garden devotes several
pages to its beauties in text and picture.
Growers are also taught therein how to grow
orchids, those most expensive Of all flower
ing plants. Growing. vegetables under glass
is described by noted gardener. The
famous gardens Of San Sonei built by Fred
erick the Great are attractivelY described.
Tree planting and lawn making are told Of
by famous writers IN horticulture. Shirley
Dare, the author Anna Maria's Housekeep-
ing has the same brightness and utility in
her articles for housekeepers on the use Of
garden products in parlor and kitchen.

of contents is Of such a varied and interest
ing character as to be highly appreciated by
every musical person, and we are all musical
to a certain degree. The musical numbers
in the January issue are very brilliant and
are alone worth more than years subscTip-
tion. They are ''Maiden's Vows" a beau

THB CENTURY.

For February this standard Magazine Is
particularly interesting. Mr.. Kennsn's series,
which is important enough to be torn by the
Russian censor from copies of The Century
sent to that country, receives a notable addi-
ton in the study of'A Russian Political
Prison." a terribly pathetic description
written from personal investigation and
inquiry. This series not only helps one
understand the Russian situation, but It is
likely to take deep hold of the reader.
Theodore Roosevelt writes also in popu-
lar vein, of "Ranch Life in the Par West, :"
with intimate knowledge Of his subject,
which is largely the cowboy His article
tells just the things one wishes to know Of
the subject, and is fully and vigorously illus
trated by Frederic Remington, who himself
has had experience as a cowboy. Mr..
Roosevelt says in conclusion The present
form ofstock-raising on the plains is doomed
and can hardly outlast the present century" "

vice by his exposition Of current frauds snd

aThe European Craze for Decorations" is
a timely article by Ernst Won Hesse-WaTteggi
whose scientific attainments and travels have
won him many decorations. The fiction in
this number is by well known authors and
interesting.

is In no way impaired BY two important
papers to which large number Of readers

HARPER's MAeAzINE.

An article that viii attract the attention of
every statesman and politician, every iutelli-
gent and thoughtful man in the country land
at least one American now outside Of his
country, is the Hon. George F. Edmunds's
contribution to Harpe,'s Magazine for Feb
ruary. 1t is on "The Tariff" and is his part
in the discussion of that subject which was
opened by Mr.. Watterson in the January
number. Mr.. Edmunds argues that the
tariff is not for revenue only, but for the de-
velopment Of the country, and sets forth COM
pletely the Protection side of the case. It
must be said of this article, as was said Of
Mr.. Watterson's that whether one agrees
with the conclusions or not, It cannot be
denied that it is an able and valuable paper.
Although It was in the printers hands before
the Presidents message was sent to Congress,
this article would hardly have been altered
by Mr. Edmunds, we imagine, even had he
known what Mr.. Cleveland was going to say.
In regard to the disposition of the surplus,
the article will be read with interest in con-
nection with Mr.. Blaine's recent suggestions.

BABYHooD.

What to do in the sudden emergencies Of
childhood, is question often asked by anxiou
mothers. Ba6yhOod for February answers
this question in a comprehensive medical
article, which says what to do in cases Of
commissions bruises, burns, cuts, foreign
bodies in the ear, nose, etc. An equally i'm
portant article is that on "Contagion and
DisinfectiOn, !" by DR.. chapin, which clearly
describes the source and character Of the
poison of scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles,
etc, and gives most valuable directions con-
cerning the disinfeetion of the sick room, Of
the person, and of food aud drink, There
are also articles ON "ChildTen's Heads" by
DR.. Yale on the Hardening Process" etc.
Contributions in a lighter vein, such as
Babies and Papas," "A Chinese Method Of
Baby Feeding" an unusually full depart
ment Of Nursery Helps and Novelties" /"
and the customary Nursery Problems" and
Mothers Parliament" justify Ba6yhoOd's
claim of being an indispensable companion

TIE subject ofimprOvlng our creeks
mouth, that the CHRONICLE has so
often spoken for, has at last been dis
cussed by a few Of those interested /;
who have thought Of sending John w
Causey or some other prominent man
to Washington to work in behalf Of
this measure. This may be proper,
and we believe 1t is. but a far more
powerful wire tOpull is for every voter
capable Of writing letter, to address
our Representative in Congress and
our Senators by individual letters on
the subject, demanding of them that
the appropriation be made. The work
will probably cost 100000; but first
