Is II cowardiy TO strike a man when

painful duty to record il these columns

men Of Hancock county, and true to

income against whom, until the word
came from his own lips, there was
never shadow of suspicion Of wrong
doing-of such a man we had TO say ::
He is defaulter.
Il came like an electric shock from

cold, hard, wicked fact. He had
played desperate game, and had lost.
But the disgraced man did not run

But instantly there popped above

always with us, here as everywhere.
Their jaws began to wag; they knew

AN HISTORICAL EPISODE.

Louis Napoleon's Sympathy With the
Southern Confederacy.
An old friend of Princess Murat
contributes reminiscent article to the
August Century, regarding the life of
the prince and princess in Florida.
She mentions the following incident
which occurred in 1856, when, Nine.
Murat having suddenly become ill,
with symptoms resembling those of
paralysis, a voyage to Europe was pre-,
scribed by her physicians:
Again she was received by her hus-
bands relatives Uouis Napoleon and
his family with an affectionate well
come. She related many incidents of
the southern confederacy to the en-
peror and empress, together with the
sacrifices and privations the south was
called upon to bear. The princess ask
ed the emperor, ii he felt so much for
the south, why he bad not helped the
confederacy. His reply was: Cousin
Kate, you all have my warmest SYM
pathy and hopes for your success; but
on account of slavery l did not dare to
send an army to your assistance. Had
L done so, l should have had a mob in
Paris" Nine Murat spoke of the EN-
press as person of lovely character,
being constantly employed in deeds OF
benevOlence, ever visiting the hospitals.
The prince imperial she spoke of with
much affection, he being then a most
interesting youth.
