The TOWNS SPONTANEOUS
MOVE ON THE DEATH
OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Il Notwithstanding the feeble c9ndi-
stion Of the Sage Of Beauyoir for several
Sdays was known to u people asws Ii
Gas the whole country, when the Gov
sernor of our State announced by tele-
tgram on Friday ut noon, the whole
citizenship of ou1 town felt the
Ashock TO a degree mover before experr-
to the same intensity. From
y~childhood to old age, sorrow swept
the hearts of u people with no wild
Soutburt OF grief, but the silent tear
awelled up in many eyes, as the sad
event was dicussed, showed how
Edeeply he vas loved, and what a
Sstrong hold he had on the deepest
fsympathy of his rac in Grenada.
How to manifest the respect due on
the occasion at once, was soon deter
mined. By three O'Clock in the even
fling the doors of every store, office and
*place of business was closed, and from
eevery Intel, hung the dark drapery of
sthe grave, which plainly said, "Jeffer-
son Davis is dead" In measured and
ssolemn tones, the church bells were
Stolled while expressions of grief
marked every face. The citizen as
al if drawn by q common
fimpulse, to appoint q committee to
kgive in suitable language, their ap-
Expectation fthe soldier, the statesman
tand the christian sage. Some Of these
Gmaterial tokens of respect are worthy
of special mention, while the least
Zone bore evidence of respect for tue
killustrious dead. Fromthe tall para
pet that rises above the front of the
Ehouse of Cinsburger & Vile, hung
lin long streamers, intortwined above
lin white and black, gently daily
Fling with the soft breeze that moved
Fits measured length; from the office
of our honored Mayor similar
Eemblems were seen. The estab-
elishment of Trimble & Gerard and
Mr.. Randolph Gage, were individual
lied, by symbols of>expressive taste.
On a marble slab in front of Che
former, in large letters were read,
Hour hero'' and OH the front wall or
the latter was q fine picture of thv
Immortal man, with some beautiful
lines TO bis memory. But tina which
seemed the most living thing, was a
large U. :. flag, in front OF Longstreet
Barksdale's Office, sweeping the
ground in its great length, on
(which were fastened .festoons Of
BLACK. Under that flag Jefferson
in two wa-s fought his
sway to victory and to fame, and
show appropriate that he should be
Eentitled to its recognition on this occa-
sion. II all the tears that were shed
sover the announcement Of his quiet
eand peaceful death could have been
COLLECTED over this broad Southland,
shis sealed casket would float or the
-hrinv flood.

MR. AJAX

The following letter which was pub,
lshed some time ago in the Grenada.

state, we transfer to these columns.
with pleasure. The writer, Mr.. Max
3Gnsburgrr, we have tried as friend;
aand foe, jew and gentle, merchant
land citizen; and we are not afraid tel
say that he nowhere falls beneath the
highest standard of a noble manhood
In this feature OF his character, his !
generosity of nature, his kindness Of;
1heart, places him foremost amongst:
Sour local ~benefactors, and we believe3
that his record OF these good deeds. /
will reach beyond the standard Of,
this life. His idea of committee OF,
the Kings Daughters" aided by
Nsome well-known gentlemen solicit.
fling contributions Of goods and money,
sis far better than opening a Bazaar,
where money will be spent for refresh,
3lnents, etc. The first is plain and d.
4 ct, the other has to- many coutin )
agencies surrounding it to make it a,
success. We therefore favor Mr.
aMax's idea. Of the committee Of the
3good ladies of u town, whether mus
sterd under the banner of the "Kin's,
Daughters" or the open beneavolence,
of our citizens WHO are able to give
something:
~ know the crops in this section
Stion are short and that in consequence.
Jthere is a general depression in bust
mess. People may not feel as able to-,
agive as they do in ordinary seasons,
ayet the demands Of charity ARE pro-.
lportionally great. Hard times press
more sore!y upon the poor and they,
sfeel keenly the pangs Of want than,
;those who are well to do, or comfort
3ably fixed. The bible tells US that
1.-THE poor we have always with u.s.,
aThere are many deserving poor people;
lin our midst who could and ought to:
sbe helped, and now that the Chris;
smas season approaches, let US try,
Ito make he occasion as joyous and
shappy as possible for them and their.
Elittle ones. /
sMemphis and other cities are pursue
Sing this course and are taking steps to,
a~collcct and distribute among the poor,
,coal, wood, food, clothes, etc, for the
sChristmas holidays. Grenada should
mot be behind her sister cities in this
sgreat matter of charity. l would sug-.
sgest to the Kings Daughters, having
confidence in their organization and
work, that they go around among the
snlerchants and Others Of our town who
sare charitably disposed and solicit do
nations for the purpose of distribution
Samong our needy people. A load Of
3wood, q barrel or two Of coal OF q few
provisions and some clothing, would
add to the relief Of many destitute
ahomes and throw a ray of sunshine in,
stc many dropping hearts. Give to,
athe poor and make the coming Christ

The Empress Of Austria.

During my stay at fuckers hotel | had
several good opportunities to see the empress
of Austria. She is a very tall woman, with
a long body and remarkably small waist.
At little distance, owing to her ease of car
riage and springy gait, you would put her
down at 33. A closer inspection shows the
lines in her face. Her dark brown hair is
usually done up in tight braids at the back.
Her complexion, from constant exposure, is
as brown as that of n sailor. | was struck
with the length Of her feet and the size of
her hands The latter, for a woman, APP
peared to be simply enormous. | watched
her one day coming up from the boat She
was dressed in a gown of gray material, with
three old fashioned founces running round
it, Her long waist was covered with tightly
fitting black jacket. In her left hand she
held a straw colored parasOl, and in the
right the empress clutched a book and red
fam Two of the fishermen helped this
eccentric lady out of the boat, and
one of her own servants followed
with the rugs and wraps upon his arm The
empress is certainly a wonderful walker She
strides over the ground at a tremendous rate.
In walking from the beach she had com
pletely distanced her solitary attendant
Then the emperor's wife disappeared into
fuckers, mounted the stairs and was soon in
her apartment over the billiard room. In
spite of the dowdiness of her attire the
empress would attract attention anywhere by
a certain air of distinction, due in a measure
to the elegance of her figure and the grace
with which she carries herself 1t was to me
surprising that woman of such broad
shoulders and length of limb could exist,
much less take such exaggerated forms Of
exercise, considering the disparity between
her shoulders-broader than Mrs. Langtrys
and The eighteen inch waist which her
majesty prides herself upon retaining from
girlhoOd. New York Press.

Cramps I'm the Leg.

Many persons of both sexes are greatly
troubled with cramps in one or both their
legs. 1t comes on suddenly and is very
severe. Most people jump out of bed lit
nearly always comes on either just after go
ing to bed or while undressing and ask some
one to rub the leg. have known it to last
for hours, till in despair they would send for
the family physician, and even then it would
be hours before the spasm would let up.
There is nothing easier than to make the
spaSm let 60 its hold, and it can be accom-
plished without sending for a doctor, who
may be tired and in need of a good nights
rest When | have patient who is subject
to cram2 | always advise him to provide
himself with a good strong cord. A long
garter will do if nothing else is handy
When the cramp comes on take the cord,
wind it around the leg over the place that is
cramped, and take an end in each hand and
give it a sharp pull-one that will hurt a
little Instantly the cramp wtl let up and
the sufferer can go to bed assured it will not
come on again that night.-Dr. st. Clair in
Herald of Health.
