AT a meeting of the PascagOula
Pilot Commissioners last Wednesday,
Mr.. a. Il. Chastant was appointed
Harbor Master for the port Of Pasca-
goula to fill vacancy caused by the
death Of Capt. E. i. Benson.
Col. A. Goelzer returned from

dition thereby.
I. P. & G. II. Delmas, agents for

Some time last season there was
a considerable amount of money sub
scribed for the purpose of putting
up a new ship yard in Scranton, but
it seems the project is lying very still
at present. Wake up, gentlemen. the
want is Increasing rather than dimin-
ishing. This is the work that pays
and brings money into the country.
The Waverly Club Room at the
courthouse, is now one of the most
attractive places to be found. The
tables arc filled with files Of all the
leading papers in the country. The
library, already good, is daily Increas-
ing. In fact, everything is frst-ciass,
except that we miss the side board.
When that is put in, il 1t ever is, VIC
should like TO become a member.
Col. A. c. Steede reached Scran-
ton Yesterday on his assessing rounds.
lie states that some negroes at Moss
Point fatty refused to give him their
names or assessment. From all such
citizens the ballot should be taken
away unreservedly. No tax receipt,
no vote would serve them right.
Their taxes are but a mite In the con-
tribution box from which They draw
most heavily.
"A building association in this
place Is ono OF our greatest needs,
Buildings are very scaIcc and the de-
maud great, aud summer visitors are
debarrcd from spending the summed

will 20 INTO an association OF this
kiud? There Is money in il, aud also
a sure way 10 procure a home fer al

On last Friday about $50 pm, the
dead body of William Dilbo, son Of Ned
Bilbo (col) of West Pascagoula, was
found at the bottom of Osgood Bayou,
near the saw mill of f. Gautier u
Sons. The boy disappeared about

that spanmcd the stream, 0 o after
his disappearance, but suspicion was
not thoroughly aroused until he fail
cd to come to hisdlnncr, when a search
was instituted. 1t il supposed that
he accidentally fell from the bridge
while attempting 10 cross it on the
outside Of the side railing, which was
Il common practice, the margin being
wide, and though about IA years of
age he had never learned to swim.
He was ono of an interesting and
bright pair Of twin boys, So mncn
alike that their acquaintance could
scarcely distinguish one from the
other. The grief Of the remaining
twin brother is said to be exceedingly
deep and distressing.

and three females. AS the cxamin-

There are, according to Rev.
George Henslowe, more than 100 vari-
cites of maize, which differ among
themselves more than those of any
other cereals. Some come to maturity
in two months; others require seven.
Some are as many feet high as others
are inches. They vary similarly in

Manifest Destiny

1t was the dream of some of the revolu-
tionary fathers that this republic should
become the protector of the weak. the
refuge for the oppressed of all nations.
Something like this the Samoans still
consider us to be. They lift their eyes
to America, expecting she will see they
get fair play from Germany. Some
thing like this too haunted the mind of
Sir George Gray, ex-governor of New
Zealand, when he wrote in The Auck-
land Gazette recently:
America will eventually become leader of the
Anglo-Saxon race. and will dispace England
from the position she now holds Many ewes in
this part of the world are already being turned
toward America the power that is likely to
preserve the interests of the Anglo-Saxon race in
the Pacific, without herself annexing ANYTHING or
allowing foreigners to do so 1t is clear that the
center of power among the AngloSaxon race is
shifting to America, as the center of population
has already done 1t Is therefore unwise of Eng
land to neglect her interests in such a time of
emergency The United States does not REQUIRE
standing army and consequently the whole re
sources of the people so circumstanced could be
devoted solely to the maintenance of a navy
which would make the Anglo-Saxon race abso
lutte masters of the world
