formed was beautiful and effective,
though hardly word Of their adj.

owing to the confusion on and off, the

AS previously announced, Hon.

addressed the people Of this County
at the Court House, last Saturday.
Mr.. Charles Coffin, the other oandi-
date for Congress, and who was also
to have been here, for some reason,
failed to put IN an appearance. At
one O'Clock, promptly, tho people
assembled, and Mr.. Craig, who spoke
first WAS introduced by the Secreta- =
~ Of the County Democratic Ex.
ecutlve Committee, DR.. Dunavant;
snd proceeded at once to enlightcn
his hearers upon the subject of Riv.

pecial subject, he has given much
thought and attention, and no dc.

giving the history and workings Of
the Mississippi River Commission
from its inception to the presen;
time, aud congratulated himself up.
on the fac; that his section Of the
river front was now protected by
levoes, and modcstly suggested that
this grea. accomplishment was large.
ly due TO his individual exertions.
Judge Gate was next introduced;
and while he too was committed To
the improvement Of the river, and
levee building, he proposed to work
in the interests OF his section, which
embraced the territory north from
Helena, which as yet, Is unprotected
by levoes; That Is, he would favor
appropriations, and let the Secretary
Of War and the Engineers in charge
Of ,his work, carry out the plans
adopted 10y the Commission. The
Tariff, the Blair l,ill, and otherques-
lions Of national policy were happily
passed upon, aud received With ap-
p,ause.
AT the close Of the speaking which
was necessarily cut short by the fact
iba, the speakers were being waited
for by the steamer Rosa Lee, on her
return trip to Memphis; it was easy
to see that the confidence reposed
In Judge w. II. Gate by the people
of this county WAS strengthened by
his able exposition of bis views on
the leading questions Of the day.

Who Should Avoid Tolso,,

A man may, it is true, smoke five or six
cigars, or as many pipes, each day, without
recognizing any harm in consequence. bu;
we make the statement, without hesitation
that he could not indulge to that extent and
continue in perfect health. Men who live
sedentaI'y lives must be more tenlperat. than
those who are constantly in the open air.
There are certain complaints in which the
use OF tobacco should be forbidden altogether
Me-, who have weak lungs, with a tendency
to consumption, ought never to use tobacco.
and the same, IS a rule holds good in chronic
bronchitis In all constitutional diseases
characterized by general functional derange-
ment, impaired nutrition and impoverish-
mens of the blood. the poisonous effects of
tobacco are intensified In fact, there is not
condition Of III health in which we should
feel justified in Recommending the patient 10
use tobacco. Let men in perfect health smoke
IL they find that 1t adds much to the pleas
ures Of living. We cannot condemn the
habit so long as it is held in restraint; but IL
mdu!Sed 10 an excess, certain measure q.
III health is the inevitable consequence.

FlogEfng the Russian Peasant.

Personal dignity is something unknown in
a Russian village. If peasant cannot pay
his taxes he is logged. IL the elected com
munal and Volost authorities cannot collect
the amount for which they a.e assessed at
the district treasury Office, they are forced to
call in the assistance of the police. There is
good deal of truth in TIE assertio, that in
the neighborhood Of poor villages il Russia
the birch trees are bare of twigs, sacrificed to
the beating out of the poor peasants arrears
and taxes. The village and district police
not only fog, but they march of the poor
fellows 10 the estates of neighborinr PRO
prietors and hire them out as laborers ON
the understanding that tho wages shall be
paid to the treasury officials
Once in while the moujik gets irnpatient
and revoltS. Then he destroys everything he
lays his hands on. Such was the case with
q stancvoi-chief of the rural police-in tho
province of ha.an, who, between 1S.6-7S
had caused 745 persons to be logged He
was besleged and killed by an angry crowd
some of whom were forthwith tried and con-
demned as seditious rioters. The village
chronicles are fnll OF such Tragedies
