He raised the pistol to his head. His
finger had already touched the trigger,
when l sprang upon him and wrested
the weapon from his grasp.
Whatever is the matter with my
young friend? Have you squandered
your patrimony, OF has your sweetheart
played you false, that you should hold
your life 50 valueless?"
Neither of those misfortunes have

Jones on Ghosts"
Spokane lawyers are in a state of ex-
pectancy. A new legal work is about to
be printed by one of their number. 1t
is on an entirely new subject. Almost
every field of learning has been
ploughed by the industrious commenta-
tors on, and compilers of, principles and
precepts, which are said to be Crystal
llzed common sense, " to-wit: the law.
When this Spokane attorney lubri-
Gated the machinery of his intellect pre-
paratory to setting it in motion, when he
dropped barrel in the slot disinter-
ested spectators realized that new eff
feet would be produced.
1t Is said that James B. Jones is about
to publish new work on ghosts. Clones
on Ghosts" is the title. The book is
handsomely hide-bound in calf. The
author has been carried away by his

THE PRESIDENCY.
How James G.. Blaine Thinks
He May BE Nominated.
His Recent Talk with Stephen
3. Elkins.

The "Plumbed Knight" Thinks That
Campaign for His Party, 1t Will BE
Because of a Spontaneous, Unanimous
Demand.
WASHINGTON, Dec. "a. When Ste
phen B. Elkins advised with Mr.. Blaine
as to accepting the war portfolio, the
man from Maine is said thus to have
stated his own position to his main
lieutenant:
RI do not feel personally concerned in
the matter. If l should be nominated
it would be because of a spontaneous,
far reaching, unanimous demand OF the
people that should lead the national
ticket. I shall either be nominated
after this style or not at all. Therefore,
no one man can either materially help
or in anywise hinder my cause. On
the whole, / would advise you to accept
the presidents offer"
Many of Mr.. Blaine's friends talk
about this spontaneous, unanimous,
Union-sweeping, inevitable boom, and
many of them confidently expect it..
Many others expect this or nothing,
with the chances in favor of nothing.
Mr.. Blaine is the most popular man in
the Republican party, but it is not be-
heved that Mr. Blaine or any other man
can be the recipient of any such wildly
enthusiastic devotion as he seems to be
passively waiting for. He could un-
doubtedly get the nomination by good
round majority by going ahead and
working for it. But he will never find
that objectors are SO few that nomi-
mating convention will meet, act and
adjourn without disclosing them.
The "plumed knight" looked rather
plumeless the last time the public be-
held him in Washington. 1t was when
he attended the ceremony of Senator
Plumb's remains. He sat next to Mr..
life were all in favor of the little presi-
dent and against the big secretary of
state Mr. Blaine looked poor and weak
and sallow and sick. His step was
alert enough but his shoulder were
rounded and stopped, His hair was thin
and of tawny, oilless gray that shows
want of vitality. His eye looked dull,
sleepy and lustreless. His whole APP
pearance was frail, haggard and care
worn He is not the man to undergo a
presidential campaign.

Egced a Presiding Elder.

M1LLERsBURa, KY, Dec. 24.-The
peace and dignity of this city of col
leges was again disturbed by party Of
young men, whose parents and tutors
have always had hatred for Presiding
Elder Reeves for his action in removing
the Millersburg male college to Win
chester, and they waited upon him with
an egging as he left the church after
preaching. His host, Mr.. Bryan, took
up the matter and several pistols were
drawn, and one or two shots were fired
but no one was hurt. This is the sec
ond time Rev. Reeves has been egged
in this city, and his visits are very OBJ
noxious to the friends of the college,
and should he ever return he may fare
worse, although he says he will bring
his Winchester rifle with him. An at
tempt was made to hold an Indignation
meeting but it failed.

BANK FAILURE.
One of Mississippi's Soundest
Lxs.<. Institutions Broke.
The Whole State Is Shocked
-, Over the Event.

The Bank at Greenville Closes Its
Doors - Surprise and sympathy E1-
pressed Throughout the State-Court
Adjourns on Account of the Occur
rence-A Receiver Appointed.
VICKsBURG, Dec. 24.-The Bank of
Greenville, Miss, has suspended. The
first intimation of suspension was the
following notice posted on the door of
the bank: "Closed by order of the
chancery court of Washington county.
Bank in the hands of receiver.
The shock of this intelligence was
great. When it reached the circuit
court, then in session, attendant coun-
sci told the presiding judge that this
failure was such calamity that no one
present was in any condition to trans
act business, and the court adjourned
at once.
1t is feared that this is but precur-
sor Of other misfortunes, all the result
of the depression in cotton. President
Pollock was appointed receiver. Liza
bilities stated at $500, The assets
are more than that amount. Compris-
ing among others $750,000 in first
mortgages on Washington county real
estate and county securities to amount
Of $150. 200.
It is we'll known fact that the bank
has been the financial bulwark of the
entire county, the wealthiest in this
state, for years.
The utmost sympathy is expressed
for President Pollock, whose ahllity and
integrity is distinguished. The banks
of this city express belief, based on
personal knowledge, that the creditors
will be paid in full.
Nevertheless the blow is heavy one,
the banks operations being by no means
confined to Washington.

Couldn't Spoil His Preaching.

CRAwFoRDSvILLE, Ind, Dec. 24.-The
colored Baptist church of Crawfords
vile is the most aristocratic colored
church in this part of the state, but it
enjoyed sensation. In the midst of
the sermon an officer entered to arrest
q man named Evans, who is wanted in
Illinois for murder. Evans, who was
there with his sweetheart, sprang upon
the altar, and as the officer advanced
leaped upon him with razor, cutting
him viciously several times. He then
started for the door and the officer fired
npon him twice, the first shot bringing
him to his knees. He escaped from the
house, however. The officer was too
badly hurt to follow. The congrega-
ton shrieked and prayed during the
fearful fight. but Elder Coleman went
right on with his sermon with his eyes
shut. Evans is still at large.

JUSTICE M'ENERY

Formally Accepts the Nomination for
Governor of louisiana.
New ORLEANS, Dec. "a. Justice Nc
Emery, recently nominated for governor
by the Democratic convention, has for
mally accepted the nomination for gov
srnOr.
AS he had, when formerly governor,
denounced the lottery, and as he was
known to be opposed to it, there was
some doubt about his acceptance, and
it was reported that he would not ac-
cept unless an anti-lottery plank was
inserted in the platform. Judge McEn-
cry, however, accepts unconditionally.
favoring the submission Of the lottery
question to the people, and will make a
vigorous personal canvass of the state
against the anti-lottery candidate for
governor, M. J. Foster.
1t seems to be the universal opinion
among the leading Republican politi-
clans here that the split in the Republi-
can ranks is as bad as that among the
Democrats; that the two factions will
not come together, but that two full
Republican state tickets will be placed
in the field. The lottery question and
the federal offices are the chief cause OF
this division. The Yarmouth or Gus
tom house faction is anti-lottery, and
denounced the lottery company in its
resolution. The other faction took nc
action in this matter, but is supposed
to be friendly to the lottery.

rns Books Assailing Christianity.

,s.As FRANCISCO. Dec. 24-Advices by
S.anship City of Pekin state that it
has been definitely ascertained that
Cnon Han, retired Tao Tai of Chang
sha, in Human, has issued thousands of
vile books assailing Christianity and
scattered them through the provinces
along the river. 1t is known he had
ernissaries and sent out 100000 of these
books. The contents are described as
too vile for belief. They contain all
the worst charges ever made against
Christianity. They are infinitely more
mischievous than former works, be-
cause they are not written in the Man
derin dialect, but in the vernacuiar Of
the people. Yet, although five people in
Huangpia are to be punished for selling
the books, the author and his friends
have not been prosecuted. In fact, they
are understood to laugh at any foreign
attempt to bring them to justice as the
cause of rioting.

OURL1NCOLN's ACT IMMORTAL

January l, 1861
BY BENoNI-BENJAMIN.
Our Lincoln's act immortal
In every land and tongue,
Wherever man loves fellow-man.
His praises will be sung,
All power and pelf that end in self
Are naught but vanity;
They crown themselves with immOrtelles
Who serve humanity.
How glorious the sight
The Ages all can see
He rises to the height
Of Gods eternal right
And sets four million free!
For centuries of bondage
And unrequited toll,
The judgements of the Lord are true
Our blood has drenched the soil.
But now success our arms will bless,
The captive shall 60 free,
And Slavery's host, with all its boast
Go down in wars red sea.
Let Liberty's cid bell
Awake the morning breeze
To all the good news tell
That not slave shall dwell
Between our ocean seas
Dusk mothers, clasp your children,
And husbands, claim your wives;
The auction-block has power no more
To separate your lives,
No more you'll tread the wine press red
Of Egypt's cruelty;
The other side of Jordan's tide
Your heritage shall be.
Sing praises unto God,
A song of jubilee
Led through the sea dry-shod,
The wilderness all trod,
The promised land you see!
No longer SCOTS the Old World
AT freedom in the New,
This New ears morn rounds out the
truth
The fathers had in view;
Our standard sheet is emblem meet
Of human liberty,
For all souls beneath its folds
With freemen shall be free.
All hail the vision bright,
A people truly free
Where none can take by might
From others any right
They for themselves decree.
