The BAzoo mentioned an unique
present which Mr.. j. Il. Grant, the

ern Pacific railway and is Christmas
souvenir of the excursion taken over
the Northern Pacific by the Ticket
Agents association last September.
1t is a rail spike beautifully crystal.
lied in the Mammoth Hot Springs at
the Yellowstone Park, Wyoming. The
coating is from the deposit of the hot
water. The coating of the spike is
about 1-16th of of an inch and ii
probably took about four days. The
c ,ating will not lat on articles that
will shrink, hence the spike was used ,
as it will stand on all mineral articles
and If taken care of il will las: long
time and can easily be cleaned with
boiling hot water. The spike bore
several inscriptions in purple letter:
as follows: "Northern Pacific" Sept
1920, 1891. The spike has beer
placed in Bichsers je~elry store ant

stand and make his confession. His
statement was that he had spent thir-

ing and whisky drinking, and had
spent 100000 in serving the devil.
He had with him pack of cards,
poker chips, pistol and racing pictures,
(tools of the devil,) and in the pres
encc of the vast congregation he re-
nounced them all, gave his heart to
God and pledged his future devotion
to his family. The congregation gave
Mr.. Womack their hands and pledged
to stand by and encourage him. This
should he done. His action was an

BUooKHAvEN, May 26.-The Mt.
Moriah sub alliance. near this place
endorsed = Barksdale and the Sub
Treasury at their last meeting. by u
unanimous rising vote, The chief
siiinIiicauce of this action lies in the
fact that the membership of this Alli-
ance is composed almost altogether ut
unfaltcring Democrats, and the vote
endorsing Barkstlale as above was
larger than the one by which the res
olution to endorse him was tabled mt
the hate County Democratic mass
meeting, of which so much was made
by the opposition organs. Also to the
further fact that this Alliance was
lately addressed in opposition to the
Sub Treasury by Hon Il. II. Apple
white, the leading opponent of the
Sub Treasury IN this county, and the
man who led the opposition to Banks
dale in the mass mccting.-CLdriOR-

Mississippi's Population.

The census of 1890 gives Mississippi
population of 1927. 423, of which
$50, 706 are white aud 747,72 are col
orcd. In 1880, the population of the
State was l, 129. $3.50. The gain, there
fore, is only 157 ,734, not near so great
as was hoped for. Of this increase in
population 81, 429 are colored and co.
305 arc white, the per cent of increase
being slightly (only slightly in favor
of the negro. Thirty two of the sew
cnty-five counties, show larger in
crease in the white population than in
the colOred, while six counties, Adams,
Alcorn, Kinds, Marshall, NOxubee
and Pamela, all of the six except AL
corn being strong negro counties, show
larger loss of the negro than the
white population. The Delta coun-
ties show the largest increase of pop
ulation of any section in the State,
and the increase is due largely to the
influx of negroes into this section. In
1880 Washington county had popu-
lation of 3,617 whites and 21,S61 ne
groes, or nearly seven negroes to one
white. In 1890 the county contains
1869 whites and SOB negroes, or
only fraction over seven negroes to
one white. SO the percentage of in
crease of the negroes over the whites,
even in the Delta, is very slight

The Supreme Court of the United

nationality of the original package law
passed by Congress, and also held that
it was not necessary for the State OF
Kansas to re-enact its prohibitory law
after the passage of the congressional
law, in order to shut out liquors in
original packages. The case came up
on appeal of Wilkinson, sheriff,
against Raherer, the lower court hay
ing decided against the State. This
court reverses the decision of the low
er court. Chief Justice Fuller rem
dered the decision, the entire court be-
ing with him.
