Our esteemed contemporary, the
Montgomery Advertiser, commences
caustic editorial on senator Nor
gan's ding at one Of the editors OF
the Advertiser as follows:
aThe Democratic senator's at Wash
ington have been growing very rest
i've under so much disagreeable news
paper criticism. This seems parlicuu-
iarly true of the southern contingent
who have for years been accustomed
to almost a daily incense of extrava-
CANT praise floating up into their nos
trils. Naturally they are not comfort
able when this grateful performance
stops and other fumes reach their
spoiled olfactories."
The Alabama senator has proven
himself restive In a marked degree
during the discussion OF the Sherman
repeal bill, and has done deal Of un-
digniied swapping at those journals
which did not adopt bis line OF reas-
oBing.
His heroics too have been of the
tragical character, as insianccd more
particularly ON Wednesday, when IN
debate, he announced:
IL am here on this floor, responsible
for every word / say, either In this
chamber or outside"
And further on, he announced with
the self-sacrifciBg heroism Of Casa
blanca:
@IfI must die here, / will die like an
honorable man at bis post"
We hope the senator win calm him
self and conclude not to dio.-Nalch-

Wait Until the Limit Expires.

We wish to call especial attention
to the violation Of tie game law in
our county. We have reliable in
formation that certain pot hunters
are already playing havoc with the
partridges. This is square in the
face of the laws. No one with the
least spark of huntsman's pride,
would think ofshooting youngquail,
and to kill any at all now is against
the law, and the offender should be
reported and summarily dealt with.
There are those, too, who do not
hesitate 10 hunt even in the ceme-
terry. Our mayor has special cells
in the court house hotel for such Of
fenders.-West Point Gazette.

Wool Crop Of South Mississippi.

The wool crop of south Mississip-
pi Is said to be excellent this year.
The Hattiesburg Democrat says that
up to date there have been 48, 900
pounds marketed in that town.
There is no country in America that
is better adapted for wool growing
than Mississippi, and If our farmers
would follow the example of their
southern brothers and raise more
wool and less cotton there would not
be such a great cause for the cry of
hard times that is now so prevalent
amongst us.-Tupelo Journal.

Poetry is the highest style of hu-
man speech /; just as speech is the no
bIest vehicle Of thought and feeling.
Poetry IS the language OF human ma
ture when it has found the sublime

but felt it, and sought TO embody and
express in numbers those swelling
conceptions which are too big for
common words. 1t is the language
Of the soul, by which it seeks to rise
above itself, to hold sympathetic and

Is true and great. all that is lovely
and good in the universe around. 1t

he feels the most immortal when
standing with his feet upon fields OF

Of ether, he seeks to tell to his COM

Of high-born genius, striving to make

Will Pullman Follow Suit?

All the trains on the District railway
will soon be provided with electric read
ing lamps, to be worked upon the ''pen-
ny-in-t he-slot" principle. Preparations
are so far advanced that the wiring of
the carriages is nearly completed. About
$500 lamps will be required. They are
very ingeniously constructed. A penny
dropped into the box will set small
clock in motion for half an hour, during
which time the current will be switched
on, and the lamp will throw its concen-
trated rays direct upon the book or news
paper of the passenger who pays for it
and nobody else. Should any mischiev-
Gus person tamper with the apparat us an
electric warning will be sounded in the
guards van. Each lamp will be of 20
candle power, and there will be four in
each compartment. The current is de-
rived from a battery, which will supply
four lamps. No date can be assigned for
the commencement of this special sys-
tenn of illumination, but it is probable
that it will be inaugurated some time
this month. Telegraph.

She Spoke without a Tongue.

One Of the most remarkable cases on rec

Gated at the beginning of the last century,
who had no tongue, and yet spoke with
perfect clearness. She was brought to Lis

the territory of Elvas, Portugal, and the
following account is given OF her by an
eminent divine:
''She is II years old, but does not look
more than Z. She can pronounce distinctly
every letter in the alphabet. She has not
the least bit OF a tongue, but the teeth IN
both sides of her under jaw turn very much
inward and almost meet. Her chief diff

1T OUGHT TO WAIT.

The Globe comes out strongly against
the admitting of any OF the terrific
ries or states, with the exception Of
Utah, on the ground that they do not
yet contain sufficient population for
that purpose. The point is we'll taken.
Take for instance Arizona which the
house has just voted to admit, and
which will probably become a state
unless the President interferes with
veto, which is doubtful. The last
census showed the population to be
only 5000, and that included nearly
$1,000 "greasers," or MeXicans, and
about LOO Chinese. The governor
asserts that the population has in
creased at least 5000 in the past three
years, but the vote of the territory
would indicate that it has decreased
rather than increased. The vote In
1884 was II, 49l, while last year it was
but IL ,64l, and that is larger than for
several years past.
The matter of assessed valuation
also shows evidences of decay. Since
1886 there has been gradual decline
in the assessed valuation, and altho'
there has been an enormous increase
in the debt of the territory, and the
assessed valuations were last year run
up to the utmost point, the aggregate
was Two million dollars below that of
1884. Its mining interests are also
falling off, and altogether the future
outlook of the territory as state is
not brilliant one. The fate Of Ne
vada ought to afford the necessary
warning that western mining camps
do not in themselves contain sufficient
stability to grow into wealthy and
powerful states, but are apt to degen.

sufficient extent to justify it's admit
