According to the Mempii, Aralancts,
Judge GARDENHIRE, of Macon County,
recently delivered o peculiar charge to the
grand Jury. The Judge, i; is alleged, in
structed the Jury toindict all persons who
publicly expressed in6del sentiments. In
a letter explaining bis action his honor
states that be defined blasphemy as Sc;
forth in our law books, English and Amer
lean.
Oar Memphis contemporary still feels
inclined 10 enter its protest. Itmakes the
poiut that while blasphemy IL an indict-
able offense, blasphemy and infdeli'y
when publicly uttered are not one and the
same. no matter what Judge GARDENHIRE
may think about it.
But the Judge has not reeanted and We
would advise Boz INGERsOLL to stay away

MISSISSIPPI LAW AND THE SPORTS

MISSISSIPPI LAW AND THE SPORTS
Professor JOHN L. SULLIVAN is the
King of Knockers-Out. He has knocked
out pretty nearly every knOcker that ever
had the temerity to put up his props"
in his presence. But he never came a
1.-THE so near being knocked out himself
as he was yesterday when a Mississippi
Judge sentenced him to twelve
months in Jail. 1t was said that the
mighty slugger's face was a study
when the jury brought in the virdict OF
guilty. 1t was more interesting study,
nc doubt, when the Judge delivered
the sentence straight from the shout
der. Prof. SULLIVAN expected to be
called upon simply to part with few hun
dred dollars OF the 5000 stake money
he pounded out of Mr.. KILRAIN's body
and the stiff sentence was great surprise
and shock to him. The great gladiator
must confess that Gov. LOWRY is more
than match for him.
Prof KILRAIN, when interviewed upon
the subject of the sentence of his late an
tagonist in the twenty-four foot ring, SEN
tentiously remarked 'h-l" Prof. Kill
RAIN, of course, must undergo the same
sentence.
What this Mississippi Judge and jury
should now do is give the hackers of
SULLIVAN and KILRAIN the same or a
ssverer sentence, since they were probably
more TO blame and more responsible than
the two animals whom they pitted against
each other. And after the judge has
passed these sentences he should recon-
mend to the next grand Jury the indictmen
of the six grand jurors who indicted SULL
VAN and KILRAIN, and who were eye
witnesses Of the fight, and clap them in
iail along with the other sports.

cooked brown, although the lodge room
was not very warm, but such things occur
in the best arranged societies, and the only
thing necessary 10 change this state of
affairs is to have one of the old standbys
of Alpha put in an appearance and just
give the keynote, and it has the effect of
breaking up Brother Botsford, who was
awful tired from trip from Bellsire,
and when the old standby spoke it woke
everybody, aud there WAS music, you bet,
for he gave the keynote, and pitched it
right up In the air that Bell aud Botsford
could scarcely catch on, and | would ad-
wise the members who were not present to
come up next meeting and hear the music,

aim is TO relieve the distress of the widow
and the orphan and to provide sure re-
lief on the death of our brothers.

Suggested by the Sad Fate of Miss

Once when wrapt in ceathlike slumber,
When did sorrows life cucumber
And my soul with grief was laden,

Dreamed that lovely maiden
Stood beside me always weeping:
Weeping till her form was shaking.
And u seemed her heart was breaking.

As in death | still lay sleeping.
How her weeping did distress me-
And what feelings did possess me,
When, approaching me still nearer,
She implOred me not 10 fear her,
Hut in heaven name TO hear her.
Hear her story Of desertion.
Speaking low. she said quite clearly.
"Once / loved, yes very dearly,
Loved, all, more; worshipped nearly,
And that, too, without eXertion.
Now, alas my heart is broken,
Now the parting words are spoken.
Listen, still hear them ringing
In my ears; deep sorrow bringing.
Sorrow which NUT c er be singing

Now il seems that all isOver,
Since TO me is lost my lover

With the one who has deceived me,
IIeartless was he. void OF feeling,
After daily. nightly kneelirg
At my feet, until thus stealing
My young heart, so soon 20 leave me.
Still love him, cen in sadness;
Love him yes, although lis madness;
Still, my thoughts will e'er be turning,
And my soul within me yearning,
While my tears fall fast and burning

All thy pains and grels defying.

Thus she spoke and said no more,

Let me feel that Thou art near,

wArERNrxLoN SYRUP.

In view Of the immense possibilities Of
the melon crop Of the South, Col. WILLIAM
DUNCAN, of South Carolina, suggests that
the surplus be madeintO syrup.
This idea, Gays the Atlanta Constitution,
was utilized during the war on more than
one plantation in the south, and in Put
nam county, at least, watermelon syrup
was no rarity. Properly made, it is clear
er than honey and as sweet, and while the
primitive experiments to reduce it to sugar
were failures, there can be no doubt that
the surplus crop can be made to take the
place Of the 'honey swestening" of COM
merce to a great extent. Il may be, too,
that experiments carried on in a more sci
entifc way will result in the granulatiOn
necess - to make sugar.
But that is not absolutely necessary. 1t
is certain that an excellent quality of syr-
Cd can be made, and it is to this fact, con-
times the Constitution, that the farmers
should turn their attention. The melon
can be cultivated at less expense than
either sugar-cAne or the sugar beet, and il
the syrup is properly handled it will take
The place of cane syrup and molasses as an
article of food.
Colonel DUNCAN estimates that the
profits Of one county Of South CarOlins
Barnweli' would be 500, 600 if the mel
ons were made into syrup, which is more
than the crop would bring il it were sold
As fruit. In addition the refuse remaining
afeer the crushing process makes excellent
stock feed, and, according to Colonel DUN
AN, this will repay the cost Of making
the syrup.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 17.-H. Mil
Ter, a resident of Jersey City, is here IN
search of Miss Agnes Wilson, to whom he
says ne is engaged TO be married. The en-.

followed it. The last letter Mitchell re-
ceived from Miss Wilson told him TO come
to this city and be happy, but forgot to
mention any address save the general post
Office.
The police have aided the discOnsolate
Young man in his search, but cannot tiud

tim of practical joke and believe that
they know the perpetratOr.
