The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1892-08-17

This Is The room 10 which she came that day
Game, when the dnsk was falling cold And gray
Came with soft step, In delicate array,
And sat beside me IN the freight there;
And, like a rose Of perfume rich and rare,
Thrilled with her sweetness the environing air
We heard the grind OF traffic IN the street.
The clAm0rous calls-the sound Of passing
feet
The vail OF bells that In the twilight beat!
Ten knelt down, and dared to touch her
hand
Those slender fingers, and the shining hand
or happy gold wherewiih her wrist was spann-
ed.
Oh, thought BY which despair is half con-
soled
That slender hand lay once within my hold,
And round my own felt her fingers fold.
Her radiant beauty made my heart rejoice
And then she spoke, and her low, pitying voice
Was like the soft, pathetic, tender noise
OF winds that como before q summer rain
Once leaped the blood In every clAmorous
vein
Once leaped my heart, then dumb stood still
again.

We wait for the bugle. The night dews srs
cold;
The limits Of the soldiors feel jaded and old
The held of our bivOuAo Is windy and bare
There 10 lead In our JOINTS there is frost in our
hair;
The future is veiled and iis fortune unknown,
A we lie with hushcd breath till the bugle ID
blown.
At the sound OF The bugle each comradc shall
spring
Like an arrow released from the strain Of the
string;
The courage, the impulse OF youth shall come
back
To bauish the chill OF the drear bivouac,
And sorrows. end losses, aud rares fade sway
When that life giving signal proclaims the new
day.
Though the bisOuac Of ago may put ice in our
veins,
And no fiber OF steel in our sIncw remains;
Though the comrades Of yesterdays march are
not here,
And the sunlight seems pale and the branches
are sere
Though the sound Of our cheering dies down
10 am0an,
We shall tind our lost youth whom the bugle Is
blonn.

realize that in former years the
"cude Of honor" rcigned undisputed
in this community; yet such is the
fact. From time TO time its fantas-
tic regulations engaged citizens OF
Claiborne county in hostile meet
ings, some Of which had fatal end
ing.
or these encounters the one that
perhaps created the greatest sensa-
tiun was that between Allison Ross,
a Jefferson county planter, and JOS.

member OF the Port Gibson bar.
Both were men Of the highest stand

state oi society very different from
our own, aud now vanished forey-

the tragedy, which friend has
copied for us from file of old
Natchez newspapers. From Mr.. J.
/. w. Ross, Sr., nephew Of one Of
the principals, we learn that the NJ
fair grew out of some trouble be-
tween Allison Ross and a man nam
ed Reding. On Dir. Ross's refusal
to take any further notice Of Red
ing, Gibbs agreed to act for The lat
ter and accordingly challenged Ross
to mortal combat, though between
these two there was no i'll will
whatever. Gibbs fred first, one
bullet striking Ross in the right
side and inllicting a hurt from
which he never fully recovered
while Gibbs received several balls
just above the knee, which

TOPEKA, Kan, May ga disastrous
cyclone last night struck the farming
country ten miles southeast OF. here,
near Tevis. Nearly everything was de-
molished over space two miles square.
A number of farm houses and barns
were demolished. One person is known
to have been killed and many injured.
Physicians left here at noon in response
to calls from that neighborhood. Hail
fell in great quantities. destroying fruit
and breaking trees. James Mitchell, a
farmer, was killed. A man named He'll
was fatally and his wife and child seri-
ouely hurt.

of increasing injury to American
smelters, and all interests con.
nected Herewith. The use of
silver-lead ores for smelling dry silver
ores mined in the United States, is an
imperative necessity, and they are not
only required as raw material of smelt-
ing, but an essential tool of the smelt-
ing. The American smelter must secure
this tool, and as the domestic supply
does not meet the demand, heavy i'm
portations of Mexican ores are made.
As now, however, disastrous conditions
confront the smelling interests OF the
country, and threaten, unless the relief
proposed is granted, the quick transfer
across the Mexican border of large pro-
portion of the smelling industry. to the
great injury of American labor and rail-
roads, and other kindred pursuits. The
results of the Mckinley act have been
to benefit foreign interests and injure
our people; and, unless quickly reme-
died, the injurious results will be past
cure"
In conclusion, the report says:
"While the bill will not cure the evils
the present law has created. if promptly
adopted it will modify the injurious
effect upon our home industries."
The foreign affairs committee has sug-
gested that this concession would prob
ably be of mutual advantage in securing
reciprocity with Mexico.

TELEPHONE PATENTS.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The commits
sioner Of patents has issued three
patents to Thomas A. Edison, assignor
to the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, covering the features of the speak
ing telephone. The original application
was filed in 1877.
Edison, owing to the Intervention of
other applications covering the same in
vention, had his patents delayed. The
last obstacle to the issuance of these
patents was the Berliner application.
upon which patent was issued last
November. These inventions of Edison
have been granted foreign patents, some
of which have already expired. This
raises the question whether an Ameri-
can patent issued after the expiration
of foreign patent issued after applica-
ton for an American patent had been
filed. should date prior to the date of the
grant of foreign patent. The question
will, it is thought, be brought before the
United States supreme court, several
circuit court judges having decided it in
the negative.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-After routine
business this morning the house went
into committee of the whole on the dip
lomatic and consular appropriation bill.
Consideration of the consular portion
of the bill having been completed with
out material change, the committee re-
verted to the amendment offered a few
days ago by Chapman of Michigan, pro-
vlding that no part of the emergency
tund ehall be paid any foreign govern
ment in settlement of any claim against
the United States.
Blount of Georgia moved to strike out
the appropriation of $65, 900 to continue
the preliminary survey for the inter-
continental railway. He believed if the
proposition was enacted into law the
United States wonld be pledged to the
construction of the railroad and to fur
nish subsidy to do 30 if necessary.
McCreary of Kentucky opposed the
motion.
Patterson of Tennessee, and Holman
of Indiana, favored it; O'Neil of Mis-
souri, also favored the appropriation.
After further debate, the motion was
agreed to-113 to II. The committee
rose and reported the bill as amended to
the house.
Hooker of Mississippi demanded a
separate vote on the amendment strik-

in the postal appropriation bill to re-
duce the compensation of land grant
subsidized railroads for carrying the
mails, from 80 per cent of the rate al
lowed non-aided railroads, as the law at
present provides, to fifty per cent, has
awakened vigorous opposition from the
land-grant railroads, and they are pro-
testing against the proposed legislation
as unjust and unreasonable. Today the
representatives of number OF these
railroads appeared before the committee

Associated Press Dispatches.
WASHINGTON, May BIN the senate
today, after the usual morning bust
ness, Morgan called up the presidents
message on an international conference
ss to silver coinage. Dolph tried to get
action first on the conference report on
the Chinese exclusion bills, but Morgan
refused to give precedence to that sub
ject, remarking that there was not so
much pressure about it that the senator
from South Dakota who desired to ad-
dress the senate might not have the
courtesy of appearing.
Kyle then proceeded to address the
senate in favor of free coinage of silver.
At the close of Kyle's speech the mes-
sage was again laid on the table. Nor
gan gave notice that he wanted to speak
on it in the future.
The conference report on the Chinese
exclusion bill was then laid before the
senate. AS soon as read, Sherman
stated that though member of the con-
ference committee, he was not able to
sign the report. He was very willing to
provide any necessary legislation for the
restriction of Chinese Immigration, and
he thought the senate bill had done 80
very broadly.
Sherman looked upon the introduc-
tion of Chinese laborers through Canada,
as an insult to the United States. Such
incidents created excitement which
some day would be the cause of great
difficulty. Those who believe the
United States had right to trample on
<roo <u and Iscro~orl sc,kk e.
the conference report without compunc-
tion but he did not feel at liberty to do
3D..
Dolph of Oregon defended the report.
Dawes opposed it as being violation
of the treaty.
Vest was not disposed to violate treat
les, but considered self-preservation the
first law of nations as well as of indi-
viduals.
Palmer could not vote for the confer
ence report, because the provision that
Cinnamon coming to the United States
could not be admitted was unnecessarily
harsh; also because of the provision for
the arrest of Cinnamon not provided
with certificates.
A vote was then taken on the confer
ence report, which was agreed to-yeas
80, nays 15-as follows:
Yeas-Allen, Allison, Chandler, Cock
rell, Cullom, Dolph, FELTON,, Gallinger,
German, Hansbrough, Harris, Hiscock,
Jones (Ark.), Mcpherson, Mitchell,
Morgan, PETER, Perkins, Power, Ran

HAD ONLY FORTY CENTS
A Supposed Joke Which Ended Badly
for the Joker.

| A Supposed Joke Which Ended Badly
for the Joker.
When man is going to play a practi-
cal Joke he should first ascertain whether
his victims will take it in good part, and
whether they will be dangerous if an
noyed. A case occurred at well known
restaurant on Sunday, when man got
into trouble because of neglecting these
points.
Captain Dick, Jack Dean and two
athletes from the Athletic club started
question. Captain Dick was leader of
the Canadian scouts in the Riel rebel
lion and has the muscle of Samson.
Jack Dean has fought Apaches a good
part of his life and had lots of fun out of
that profession. The two Athletic
club men are sturdy fellows
themselves. Altogether, they were not
the men to care for trifiing. As they
walked along man came up to Captain
Dick, and, with profuse expressions OF
Joy at meeting him, invited him and his
friends to dinner. The captain did not
recognize the man, but as the latter de-
clared they had met some time before,
and as the rest of the party were willing
| the newcomers invitation was accepted
AS might be judged from their physical
makeup, all the guests were blessed
with hearty and discriminating appe'
tites. They called for good dishes and
plenty of them, and ate with most de.
cided gusto. All went happily as could
be imagined until the hour for settling
came, when the waiter gave the check
for the whole amount to the supposed
host. He felt through his pockets and
succeeded in finding only 40 cent?
which he handed to the waiter, and ex.
planned that he had no more money.
els that all the money you have?'
asked Captain Dick.
The reply was affirmative, and the
captain then lightly smote the impecu
nious host with the back of his hand
causing him to double himself up on the
floor and his chair to 60 spinning acros:
the room.
''I didn't hit him to hurt him." ex
planned the captain afterward, "but
only to show my contempt" An inter
esting question is what would have be-
come of the offender if the captain had
hit to hurt? and also what would have
happened if the others had taken hano
in resenting the joke-that is, if it wat
a Joke?

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The Democratic
members of the ways and means COM
mittee listened this afternoon to Demo-
cratic members of the house who ex-
pressed their views on the tariff bills
pending before the committee. 1t was
made evident that there are quite a
number of Democratic members unfa-
yorable to reporting free lumber bill
at this session of congress, and at least
one member opposed to a reduction in
the duty on barley. The opposition to
the lumber bill came from North Caro-
lima and the great lake states in the
northwest, and on the ground that the
duty should not be taken off unless COM
pensatory benefits are given by a gen.
eral tariff reduction bill. The commit
tee was urged to place refined sugar on
the free list, and to make lower the du-
ties on thread and steel rails.
