COLONEL sT0OKDALE AND THE
MARES NEST"

Mr.. "Jewhillekens,p Il %correspol
dent of the Biloxi Herald, has dis
covered that We have iouud Il prodi
siouS ''m lrc'S nest in the appoint
ment of w. ID. PoStlethwaite II,
weigher of mails between New Or
leans and Montgomery. We'll, yes
it may he Il "male's ucst' to NJ
"JewhillekeuS,n but to us il was mol
astonishing. We knew the ReSt
was there all the time, and it only
remains for MS to connt the eggs as
they show up, ana apprise the pub.
lie OF the number.
Now, the point, Mr.. "Jewhille
kens," seems TO be DESTROYS of max
ing is, that Col. Stockdlle did not
make the appointment in question,
but that it VAS made by the chief
of the railway mail service. We
did not forget Davy CrocketS
teachings in this matter. We made
sure we were right before we made
HE plunge. We are in possession
of ample evidence to prove that
Col. Stockdale did make the ap.
pointment. The emOlumeuts and
term of the Office has but little to
do with the principle involved, lit
tie straws point the way the wind
blows.
Col. Stockdale succeeded in max.
ing the majority OF the Convention
that nominated him believe that
be vas Il Democrat, or be would
never have been nominated. 1t is
10 say the least, a poor rcquital
on the part of Col. Stockdale for
the honor conferred on him by the
Democratic party, to appoint il Re
publican to any Office, be it little or
great.
In connection with the above, we
desire TO notice a letter of the
Washington correspondent OF the
Summit Sentinel. The letter has
this sit is not e~Yageration for me
to say that, perhaps, One of the
most aSetuI aud energetic OF the
new members of the House, is your
esteemed trieEd, Col. Stockdalc,
who vas elected to succeed Judge
Van Eaton. He has already intro.
duced quite a number OF bills,
many Of which are in forward cou.
ditiou" y \ Now, let us review
those bills, twelve in all, as enum-
Grated by the above letter:
Six of those bills were of a per-
sonal nature, providing for The pen
.Sioning and appropriation Of large
sums OF money for individuals
named in said bills, which said bills
have no bearing whatever on public
legislation, other than to appropIi-
ate the public moneys for private
purposes; and, by the way, those
are just such bills as "a Congress
man a get a fee for engineering
through Congress. And two of
the other six bills introduced by
Col. Stockdalr, were introduced by
Van Eaton and Gen. Wal.
thall, respectively that is, to pro-
vide for holding United States
at Mississippi City and the
removal of Snip Island quarantine.
So 1t is easy to perceive how use
ful ~ Col. Stockdale has been TO
bis constituents.

A six.Year,OId Heroine.


Says a Newport special of Tuesday to
the New York World; Naval officers and
Others Will be proud of 6-year-old
daughter of Lientenant Niles, one Of the
members of the class under instruction at
the torpedo station. The little miss, in a
most critical moment, to-day, showed
that she was possessed of remarkable
prcseDce of mind under the most trying
circumstances. At the torpedo station
there is a large float used for the steam
launches. The little girl and her ll.year-
old sister were playing on the float. The
elder accidentally Slipped and fell over
board a heartfending cry went up, but
no help was near The 6'yoar old child,
in order 10 get more secure hold of her
sister, who was struggling in the water,
threw herself down on the float, face
downward, and held her sister until, by
her assistance, she was able to climb ON TO
thq float again.

Drunkenness in Russia.

I saw more drunken men in Petersburg on
the day of my arrival than had seen in all
the rest of Europe during four months
stay, writes w. E. Curtis, in the Chicago
NeiUs. The peasants Of Belgium have poor
reputation for temperance, but l saw more
drunken men in Petersburg on my way from
the station to the hotel the day Of my arrival
than saw in all Belgium. Not only does the
Russian religion fail to secure sobriety and
chastity among the peasants, but it is openly
charged that the priests encourage intemper
ance They are not accused of pouring liquor
down the mouths Of their parishioners, nor
of exhorting them to get drunk on vodka,
but the charge is made, openly and often,
that the Russian priests advocate the use OF
intoxicating liquors as necessary, because OF
the severity Of the climate; that they never
reprove drunkenness among the peasants;
that they discourage the organization OF tenn
perance societies, and that they multiply
church feasts, which are little more than
drunken carousals. The mujik will get drunk
whenever he can; he may be depended upon
for that and needs no encouragement; but
the motive Of the priests for opposing sobri-
ETY. and resisting temperance work Is that
the chief men OF each parish are generally
the manufacturers of spirits, who In many
districts allow the priests regular and often
a liberal subsidy for permitting the natural
appetite Of the peasant for stimulants to go
unrestrained. Then, again, the chief revenue
Of the government Is from the sale Of liquor,
amounting to over $2O0, ,0O0, 900 in old Russia
alone last year, not counting the sum filched
by the collectors, which annually is very
large. S%$1

The snow is white, the way is stern and sore,
Wide. binding wastes behind us and before;
And tho we soon shall see stiller shore
The road is long.
The gaunt, gray wolves are famished for
their prey,
But we are bound, and hungrier than they:
The fruit will fall when we ourselves are
clay
We leave strong hands to cleanse away the
stain.
Tho we plod on along the shuddering plain
To marching music of the creaklng chaln-
The load is long
The sands of Tyranny are slow to run.
Alas, that this aud many a morrow's sun
Must see the goal ungained, the work un-
done
The road is long.
Our lives were ladder-rungs; the Cause moves
The light shines fair as ever it has shone;
twill blaze full bright ere many years be
The road il long
We are but bubbles breaking in the sea,
The strong, slow tide that one day will be
free; see,
We shall not know it-yea, but it will be-
The road is long.
