PAsUAaOULA.

OF all the localities along The
Mississippi Sound Coast Pasca.
goula is The ''old reliable" health
resort in both summer and winter.
The increasing interest being man.
Tested in the Moth and West
towards this coast for its unsur.
passed attractions to health and
pleasure seekers, during the cold
months of the year, is to be attrib-
uted more directly to the favorable
reports spread by those who have
already visited here and enjoyed
the benefits of their sojourn, than
10 extensive advertising.
Pascagoula was once the first
on the list Of Gulf Coast summer
watering places, on account of the
superior salt water bathing and
the sea breezes to invigorate those
who regularly came here in large
numbers from the cities OF New
Orleans and Mobile and the coun-
try districts of the States of Missis-
Alabama and Louisiana.
There is every reason why Pasca-
youla should again lead as the
great sanitarium of this Coast, be.
cause the peculiarly beautiful sit
lation of the town entities 1T to the
distinction, and the pastimes of
pleasure are more varied than in
my of the others. The climate is
delightful all the year round with
'ut extremes in temperature at
my time.

PRESIDENT Harrison's message
to Congress has been received,
but its length precludes its pub
LEGATION in the DEMocRT.STAR this
week. The President declares
against the further coinage of sill
yer. The CHILEAN episode he re.
ports in a fair way of amicable ad-
justment honorable to the United
States. He refers to the New Or
leans disturbances, and says there
is a prospect that the diplomatic
relations between the United
States and Italy will soon be re-
sumed on their old footing. lie
says the financial affairs of the
country have been excellently ad-
ministered, and their condition ex.
cellent. The heavy pension office
expenditures is touched upon as
having been dictated by a sense
of the nations gratitude, but The
President intimates that it would
be well to use the greatest care In
providing for The pension expen-
lures in the future.
In conclusion, the message felic.
itates the country upon the pro-
priety, which he says attended it
under the protection policy tenn.
pered with reciprocity which has
opened an extensive foreign mar
ket to American produce, while
protecting the American manu-
facturer in his home market.

PALMER, THE SUBSTITUTE.

The great Palmer who commands
the Grand Army of the Republic
and who gets drunk and says nasty
things about the Confederate flag,
appears not TO have been much OF
a patriot. He sold himself TO his
country, got a round sum for his
carcass and is no doubt getting
another round sum in the shape Of
a pension. The Richmond State
says:
General" Palmer, commander
in.chief of the Grand Array of the
Republic, who was so unknown at
the time he made his swelling at
tack upon the Confederate flag,
that some friend has seen the pro-
priety Of publishing his biography.
The fellow was not a soldier at
all-that Is from The high patriotic
standpoint. lie occupied just The
position of the Hessians who were
sent over by the British TO subju.
gate the American colonies. He
was, in other words, the substitute
for Erastus Corning. He was,
therefore, not a volunteer. The
man who shoulders his musket for
love of country is very different
from the fellow who is IA rich mars
substitute. Now let some ex sui
lers make an attack upon The exhi.
bition of the Confederate flag.
