A New Road Wanted.

Christian GembIer has filed petition in
the county clerks office, for the opening
of a new road from the envirOnS of the
city TO the Salado, alleging that such
changes have been made that they have
now to travel sixteen miles, instead of
four, as of old, to get to and from the
city, and that arrangements in land and
money have been made to accomplish this
desired end. The new road will be con-
venience to farmers in that district, and
it is expected the petition will be granted.

Ignorance as a Fad.

One curious point about our young
people of the upper circles nowadays is
their intense pride of ignorance. To
know anything or to have read any,
thing is, with them, to be fool. The
boys who fail to get into the army are
not laughed at as asses, but are con-
doled with as victims to hideous sys-
tenn. The idea of sitting through a
serious play is secuted with ignominy,
and even to know the current news of
the day, to have read Mr.. Gladstone's
speech, or to have an opinion on the
Uganda question (Where on earth is
"uganda?" would be the chorus) is to
render yourself suspect. A wretched
youth at a country house full of young
people incautiously gave an opinion on
bimetallism. Dire was his punishment.
For the rest of his visit he was treated
as one afflicted with leprosy. But,
after all, the affectation of ignorance
may cure itself. 1t is the general en-
ployment of indelicacy and the casting
aside of maiden modesty in the pursuit
of young men which makes one almost
despair of our girls. Times.

MISSISSIPPI WHITE GAPS

Likely to Receive a Warm Reception If
They Make Their Threatened Visit of
Rescue to Brookhayen-Troops on the
Ground and Ordered to Shoot to Kill.
JACKSON, Miss, May 7.-On an urgent
telegram from Sheriff McNair, indorsed
by several citizens, Gov. Stone to-day
ordered the military companies of
Crystal Springs and Hazelhurst to re-
port at once at Broohhaven for duty.
Adjt-Gen. Henry left for Brookhaven
this afternoon and will command.
Gov. Stone will leave tonight.
The excitement at Brookhaven is
greater than it has been at any time
since the mobs visit Reliable infor-
nation has been received that the
white caps were organizing at several
places near Brookhaven; that they have
purchased immense quantities of am
munition OF the surrounding towns and
design making an attack tonight.
AdJt.-Gcn. Henry has instructed the
troops to fire just as soon as the
white caps enter the town. and to keep
on firing as long as one is left. The
troops are drawn up in line and all the
roads to the town are heavily guarded.
All preparations have been made for a
attack, and seven-eighths of the peopl
here believe it will come.

PITTsBURGH, Pa, May S.-Alderman
Micheal Rohe, who has monopoly of
nearing cases brought by the Law and
Order society and imposes fines of s25
and costs for violations of the laws of
1859, was arrested Saturday evening
ana gave bail in the sum of $500 on the
charge of malfeasencc in office.
1t appears that the alderman had
1alled to turn over the fines collected
Tor violations of the Sunday laws to
the poor authorities as provided by an
act OF 1865. Suit was brought by Au-
gust Smith, who had been prosecuted
by Agent Mcclure, of the Law and
Order society, for selling cigars and
cider on Sunday and who had paid $50
fine and costs.
Whlle the alderman was skirmishing
Tor his bail he visited several shops.
and by the time he reached neighbor-
ing alderman's Office he was so intoxi-
Gated that he could not stand, and in
his drunken excitement fell through a
window and was severely cut by the
glass. He then returned to his own
Office and attempted to conduct several
hearings which had been set for Satur-
day evening, but was SO stupid that he
was unable to proceed and the cases
were postponed.

medical inspector of the department of
health, with an assistant, paid n early
morning visit yesterday to the Worlds
fair grounds, where they inspected the
Turks who had just arrived from the
east, One of these, Abraham Gahoudi,
died in New York near Hcrnellsville
early Saturday morning. 1t was re-
ported at the time that the dead man
showed strong symptoms of cholera.
On arrival here the car containing the
Turks was stopped until a thorough ex-

learned beyond question that Gahoudi
had died of peritonitis, the result of a
kick in the groin. The entire party
was then permitted to disembarl1 with

followed my letter in person with as
little delay as possible. When / arrived
at the principal hotel of Marseilles I
encountered there, in the act of inquir-

had not replied to his letter, the good

Il was completely nonplused. NV

been the professional one; but how
could avow such a fact to such a man?
For very shame could not do so. Ac
cordingly, instead of going straight to

walked away with the doctor to my sis

1T was a most wretched room. Yet
the first object in it that caught nv eve
was very beautiful one. Near the in
valid's bed stood her little girl, with
large black eyes, pretty, curly hair, and
a face whose expression was pathetic
combination of youthful brightness and
premature sadness. At the first glance

into my arms; then sternly repressed
this alien emotion. The doctor. after
he had spoken few words to his pa.

did so the poor woman tried to raise
herself. The mixture of sadness and
pride upon her faded countenance told
me plainly how great an effort it had
cost her to appeal to me. Using the
strongest plea that she knew, she
pointed to her child with weak, trem-
bling fingers, and said in low tones:

But said nothing of the sort. MY only
thought was how might most easily

her arms around my neck and pressed
