AN AUBURN HAIR.

stood on the str eet at MONDAY,
While the folk went fitting by,
And looked through bakers window,
At toothsome lemon pie.
I longed and longed to have It,
With hunger was weak;
had spent every cent Of my wages
The first part Of the week.
And then I saw a nickel
That lay on the sidewalk fat;
turned dark-pale and trcmbled,
And covered it with my hat.
closely grabbed the Doodle,
And few to the bakers store,
And purchased the very cenfection
had longed for moment before.
l bit, chewed, and swallowed;
The pie was jolly and good;
My hunger began to feel better,
More hopeful was my mood;
When suddedly something foreign
My attention did arrest:
A hair of deepest auburn
Lay hid In the pics fair breast,
My lunch was over for that day,
And, sore In stomach and mind,
walked up to the counter slowly,
And begged them to be SO kind
As to serve, il they wished me in future
To buy my luncheon there.
Their pies on one piece of china,
with another one for their hair.

The Rooster.
A HANDSOME DESCRIPTION OF A
WELL-KNOWN BARNYARDFOWL.

Carrollton Conservative: There
is no creature Of God that has as
much good opinion of himself as
a rooster, and especially a yellow
rooster. There is one next door to
the Conservative Office that comes
TO the window and stands with his
thumbs in the arm pits Of his vest,
and his head thrown back with the
air of a New York alderman. He
clucks and chuckles and kisses
himself as if he owned the world,
and held the municipal election in
his side pocket. To see him strut
about in quest Of food, wearing a
contented countenance and an air
of prosperity one could very easily
imagine that he is some well-to-do
English squire, whose opinions are
oracles to the country folk, and
whose dainty pieces of gallantry
are the admiration of all the neigh
borhood. The ROSTERS sphere is
very circumscribed-is limited by
the barnyard fence, and being the
cock of the walk he very naturally
feels his importance, and magnifes
it a hundred fold. So it is often
with men; they acquire a little
neighborhood fame and imagine
that the whole world has its eye
upon them, while in reality they
are very small potatoes outside of
the garden in which they grow.

Masonic Signs Among the Druses.


Galignani Messenger: After a So
journ of Nlany months among the
Druses of Lebanon, theRev Haskell
Smith, NJ, A. rector, of Bruncewell,
in Lincolnshire, is about to return
with an important discovery made
under romantic circumstances, con-
cerning the mysterious people,
who are supposed to be the lineal
descendants Of the Hitites. 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. Smith was admit
ted to the most secret intimacy with
Druses through having saved the
life of a popular young man by
sucking the venom of a deadly
snake.bite from his body. He was
initiated into a number of mysteri-
GUS rites, hitherto unknown to any
foreigner, and among these the
natives startled him, as Free
mason, by passing the most charac-
teristic of Masonic signs. Hence
this adventurous clergyman argues
that the Druses are none other
than a branch ofthe greatP Phenician
race, whose ancestors supplied the
Lebanon cedars to the builders Of
King Solomon's temple.

naded.

Summit, Miss, July 30th.--
A number Of prominent citizens
of McComb City, accompanied by
the Lawson Brass Band of that
place, arrived here last night ON a
special train for the purpose OI
testifying the high esteem in which
they held the Hon. Thos. r, Stock
dale, recently re-nominated forCon.
gress from this (the SIXTH district.
Arriving at his elegant residence
the band played several beautiful
pieces, after which Col. Stockdale
made his appearance, whereupon
T. W. james, Esq, representing
the McComb City delegation, step.
ped to the front and in a neat and
appropriate speech voiced the high
appreciation in which the colonel
was held BY our sister city Of Nc,
Comb.
Colonel Stockdale's reply was
eloquent and feeling, and it is safe
to say that Of the many NANTES.
tations of love and esteem extended
him, none have made deeper OF
more pleasant impressions than
this.
After partaking of the courteous
hoSpitalities in waiting, provided
by the generous host, the pleasant
affair ended. The band then sere-
naded several prominent citizens
Of our town, and then departed for
McComb City on the special train
in waiting.

AThrlfly Postmaster.

Bowling Green (Ky.) Times;
Several years ago the pOstmastsrG
Of the smaller Offices were not paid
a regular salary, but allowed 60
per cent Of the receipts. The agent
for Uncle Bam at the Rochester,
KY, pOstO&ce consVised the idea
that he could lay by a neat little
sum for rainy day by working a
shrewd business scheme. He not
only licked the stamps at the post
Office at Rochester and read all the
postal cards, but owned little
country store with few dollars
worth Of stock. The old man con.
cluded he would increase his stock,
so he came to Bowling Green and
boarded a train for Louisville, and
going to the wholesale grocery house
of Cowles & Co., said to Mr.. Pleas
Cowles: II want to buy $1,000 worth
Of goods and pay cash for them,
provided you will let me pay you
in stamps" The grocery king re-
flected, and concluded that stamps
were equivalent to the cash, and,
besides, he wanted the postmaster's
trade, so he agreed to sell the goods
and take in payment $1,000 worth
of stamps. The postmaster at once
ordered the stamps from Washing
ton, sending S40O for the payment
Of them, of course having deducted
his 60 per cent The Postmaster
General made a kick, but the
stamps had TO come under the con-
tract which the Rochester post
master had with the government.
The old man made 5000 and Mr..
Cowles sold $1,000 worth Of goods.

A Uniaue Gatherlng.
.FoRNFR DRUNEARDs CELEBRATE
THEIR BEE QRAIATT0N.

New York, July ~. -1n q long,
narrow room, constituting . verita-
bic sweat vat, q few doors from
Third avenue, on Eorty.secOnd
street, thets were gathered last
evening about 200 people, mostly
men, who, though dripping with
perspiration, were engaged in a
unique celebration. There were
few women present, whose function
was TO assist in singing when that
was in progress.
Many Of the men bore scars, be-
hind which were stories Of de-
bauchery, suffering and crime.
Ostensibly they we're participating
in the fourth anniversary OfthO re-
clamation from the life of drunkards
of one Of their number, butt reali-
ty they were each one indulging in
a celebration on his own hook, be-
cause for longer or shorter periods
each had forsaken the gin mills
where formerly his time and money
had been spent and his character
lost. 1t was pathetic sight.
Some years ago Henry NJ. Had
ley, who for twentg-six years had
been addicted to the drink habit,
wandered into Jerry McAuley's
mission while in drunken con-
dition, and was moved to abandon
his life of debauchery. From that
day to this he has remained stead
fast in his reformation. Having
won a victory over himself, he set
10 work to save others, and those
who had been led to become sober
men through mission work were
the guests at this celebration.
The room wherein this ami
vcrsary was held is known as St.
Bartholomew's Rescue mission.
Several Of the reformed men re.
lated their experience as drunkards,
and told how they came to be saved.
One Of the most touching events
Of the evening was when a young
man rose and said he could not re.
main any longer, but before he
went he wanted to relate his ex-
perience. He then told Of his de.
gradation through liquor, and his
reclamation, and, drawing himself
up to his full height, he said with
unfeigned pride that, whereas q
year ago no one in New York would
have trusted him with 10 cents;
only the other day he was entrust-
ed by his employer with $1,000 to
deliver, and that he had been made
collector in a large business house.
He then said that the reason he
must retire so early was that he
had been married short time ago
and did not want to stay late from
his bride. He was heartily APP
plauded as he left the hall .

A large number of teachers from
various parts Of the State met at
Oxford, last week, and much inter-
est was manifested. Resolutions
were passed showing the necessity
Of having normal schools for the
training of the teachers, and that
teachers should be appointed, not
elected. A committee was appoint
cd 70 urge these views on the
officers Of the University and the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col.

in the sharpest manner the act of
the Legislature exsmpting gradu-
ateS Of the normal school from the
examination required by law Of all
other teachers, and requesting all
county superintsudeuts to disregard

The Farmers for PattIson.

The Hon. Leonard Rhone, master of
the Pennsylvania Grange. has issued
an address to the farmers Of that State,
in which he urges them to vote for the
Hon. Robert Z. Pattison, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor. He says
Mr.. Pattison while Governor had labor
ed necessarily for the rights and pro-
lection of the people, whilst Mr.. Della
mater, the Republican nominee. failed
to keep his promise to vote for the far
farmers tax bill in the State Senate,
but on the other hand spoke and voted
against it. In brief, Mr.. Rhene says
Mr.. Pattison is a candidate on the side
of the people, whilst Mr.. Delamater is
the candidate of the corporations and
corrupt powers of the State. With the
labor and farmers organiZa tlons
against him it would seem Senator
Delamater has a hard road to travel.
