LONDON, Jan. 3l.-The Times corre-

the Amusing Adventure of . French
Military OGlcer.
A superior ofiicer Of a certain French
garrison was some time ago the hero Of
n most amusing adventure. Col. Y. had
received from Mime, V, an Invitation
to dinner, but on the day appoint
cd, and just as he was about to
start, he was seized with a vie-
lent attack of neuralgia, and de-
cided to forego the pleasure in store
for him. The colonel wrote letter Of
apology, called his orderly, and said:
Jules, you will give this letter to
Mime. ", and then go and fetch me my
dinner" Jules set off, after carefully
secreting the letter in his breast-pocket
along with his tobacco-pouch. He ar
rived at Nine. VS., delivered his letter,
and stood as rigid as statue. The
lady of the house was surprised, and
inquired what he was waiting for.
Jules replied: "The colonel told me to
fetch him his dinner" Nine. v. saw the
mans mistake, gave certain orders, and
the servants handed the faithful Ines
man set of dishes emitting fragrant
odors. Moreover, Nine. V. slipped q
half-bottle of champagne into the sol.
dier's pocket, and said: "You will servo
this to the colonel at dessert" Jules
came back, and the restaurant-keeper
seemed to have provided such host Of
good things that the colonel got Up
and took his seat at the table. Over
the soup he slowly began to recover his
appetite, to his no small surprise. The
side-dishes made him quite ravenous;
with the entrees his pain disappeared;
he was stupefied at the roast meat, and
dumfounded at the game, and still
his wonder grew at the marvellous
dishes supplied by the restaurateur.
At the dessert the orderly, obeying his
instructions, set the bottle of cham
pagne on the table. He was asked for
an explanation, when everything came
out.
The colonel, in despair, thought the
matter over, and then gave his orderly
ten francs, telling him to buy a bouquet
! of flowers and present it from him to
| Mime. V. Then the colonel, satisfied
| that he had done his best in such try.
| ing circumstances, settled down in an
easy chair and composed himself to
sleep. An hour and half later the
door opened, and Jules walked in and
gravely deposited two fivc-fIanc pieces
on the table. The colonel questioned
him with some anxiety.
1.-THE lady paid for the nosegay," said
the honest warrior, apparently well
pleased with the general turn OF of.
| fairs.
Mime. V, on receiving the bouquet,
| had given the soldier five francs by way
Of tip, on receiving which the latter
| simply replied: sit isn't five francs,
please, madame; it is ten francs" Col.
q. was confined to his bed for three
days, to the great alarm of the whole OF
the garrison staff.-Household Words.

which new debts added to the old ones
will bring; better to live hard now and
be ready to move off with the era Of

Of the hottest in New Mexico. ]
dropped into saloon one afternoon
| and saw four Of the most noted
desperadoes of the day playing dra "
poker. Iknew two Of them personally.
| One of them was a cool, quiet fellow,
who talked little, known all over as one
| of the quickest men on the trigger, and
| who acted quickly in crisis Tho
other was as cool and nervy as himself.
After awhile it happened that there
was a big Jack pot / was watching
the game closely, though / knew that
the countenances OF both men would
be non-committal, and that there might
be some heavy blufing.
Suddenly i noticed, TO my intense
astonishment, that the face of the bet
ter known of the two was growing
pale. An opponent was dealing, and
as he slowly took mp each card tho
color kept ON leaving his countenance.
l Icouldnt understand It, as there was no
disturbance about, no loud talk at the
bar, nor had anybody entered.
"He had four cards in his hand, and
his face was ashen. He reached for the
fifth and last card. turned it over, and
simultaneously reached for his pistol.
His opponent had been watching
him with the keenest attention, and in
fash had his gun out and was shoot
ing across the table!
"At the second shot the quiet man
fell across the table and his life blood
stained the pack of cards. We raised
him up and found that he was dead.
We carried him out, and as we lifted
him his hand was exposed.
"He had drawn jack full on red
sevens!
This was what had made his face
change and caused him to reach for his
gun.
"There is superstition anong gam
blers in the west that he who sits in q
game and draws at pat hand q jack
full on red sevens will never live to
play the hand.
This desperate had drawn this
hand. He believed the superstition.
He had realized that crisis was at
hand and had reached for his gun. His
opponent Aad been too quick for him
and had shot him dead.
"This shooting clinched the supersti-
ton: Beware Of jack full on red

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


Jackson, Jan. 25.-W. w. Stone, State
president OF the American Cotton Grow
ers' Protective Association, has issued
'he following important address to tho
cotton growers Of the State:
AS president for the State Of Missis.
sippi of the American Cotton Growers
Protective Association beg to invite
the attention Of the cotton growers,
merchants and others interested to the
action Of the recent convention held In
the city Of jackson in relation TO the
well-being and betterment Of the condi-
ton Of the cotton-growers of the State.
After much deliberation by the con.
vention an advance in the prico OF cot
ton seemed 70 be the one thing needful.
To this end the most feasible method
possible was judged to be decrease in
cotton acreage. To secure this plan
was formulated and promulgated by the
convention asking the cooperation OK
all cotton growers and merchants to
reduction of 80 per cent Of the area
planted last year in cotton. The plan
of cooperation will be submitted to the
farmers as soon as possible in printed
form for their intelligent guidance.
The county presidents will tako
special charge of this matter in their
respective counties, who will commits
sion such assistance as they may need
TO facilitate the work and accomplish it
as speedily as possible. The time for
this work is very limited-the first Mon
day in March-and hope that the farm
ing community throughout the State
will take note of this fact, and that all
individuals willing to cooperate will
lend their voluntary aid to the county
presidents in expediting the work. Har-
monious and united effort among the
farmers is necessary work in this re-
form. Their unbiased and best jndg-
ment is invoked, freed from all caviling
or doubt as to the righteousness ofstho
end sought.
/ respectfully invoke the aid of all
newspapers of the State in promoting
this matter, and hope they will keep
tho same constantly before their con-
stituents.
1 realize fully that they may either
make or mar the enterprise now on foot.
Their responsibility in the premises is
very great, which hope they will fully
appreciate.
The opinion OF those best calculated
to Judge is that upon the success of this
effort or its failure will depend very
largely the prices at which the next cot
ton crop will be sold. This is evidenced
by the fact that Liverpool is selling
next years crop for Novembee and De-
cember delivery at ~ ceAss at our
ports. This, of course, is based on the
idea that another very large crop will
be made the coming season.
The reduction of the cotton acreage Is
question in which every man in tt Q
South is interested-from the plow-bsy
to the banker-bence united effort II
absolutely needful and universally in
voked at the hands Of the people oi
Mississippi.

session OF the Mississippi Division
United Confederate Veterans met today
Twenty-four out of fifty-one camps ir
the State were represented by aboe
sixty delegates. Maior-General Robe.s
Lowry, commanding the Mississippt
division, delivered an eloquent address,
in which he, among other things, said
"The war between the States is a
thing of the past. The verdict Of the
intelligent world is that comparison
Of the martial prowess Of the Confedr
crate soldier is unsurpassed. The gov.
ernment remains intact, no one to dis
turb 1t, and but voice the wish Of the
Confederate veterans that its flag may
continue to float over the entire coun
try, protecting all alike, acquire new
luster and grow in strength, power and
greatness.
A letter. was read from Lieutenant
General S. D. Lee, suggesting that the
legislature be memorialized TO provide
for collecting the records Of Mississippi
troops.
The Organization of mutual benefit
association for the benefit of MANNED
and needy veterans was discussed. a
soldiers home was also discussed, there
being some opposition. Quite lengthy
discussion took place over an appropria-
tion made by the State for needy and
INDECENT veterans. Itwas agreed that
q memorial be issued to the Confederate
soldiers looking to the prevention Of
poaching on this fund.
An invitation to hold the next am
nual meeting at Meridian was accepted
by rising vote. The time set was the

would be of vast importance and might
even prove to be the entering wedge in
breaking up the old system and iugurat-
ing the new, and it might be advisable
Tor the State to encourage such an object
lesson, more especially if it could do SO
without cost and perchance at profit to
itself; and whereas, there are several rea-
sons why the State should go into the
business OF producing cheap crushed rock
at + olson, namely:
First-The State has considerable horse
power going to waste at the prison for
lack of opportunity to use it without
Interfering with private interests, and
the application Of some Of this power
would not lnjure any labor or manutact-
urIng interests. On the contrary, it would
open up an avenue to the increased en-
ployment Of labor and machinery in
building roads that would not otherwise
be built.
Second-The only prospective way to
get many good roads is by the aid of
bonds. Voters would be more apt to
favor bonds if some guarantee were given
| that cheap material, and consequently
cheap roads, were, going to be the result
NO private parties could reasonably be
expected to furnish the public with rock
at cost Even if a public-spirited COR
poratlon should volunteer to do so in
order to encourage the people to vote for
bonds, any promise would not carry with
~ tLI0 Sdu16 WSlSnG as WOulu 8 similar
promise from the State. Railroad officials
have intimated that a very low rate would
be made on rock to be used in the inter-
est Of the public without attendant pri-
Vate profit. If the rock were crushed by
the public for the benefit OF the public
the railroad could name rates approXi-
mating the cost of transportation without
making sacrifice which would simply
lnure to the benefit of some private rock
crushing corporation. Therefore, be it
ReSOtUeG, That, if necessary, the Legis-
lature be requested to empower the
Prison commissioners to go into the
rock-crushing business at the cobble beds
near Folsom. That the Prison Commits
sioners be requested to avail themselves
of any privilege that they may have or
may receive, and erect rock-crushing
plant so as to be able to crush rock on
large scale, with view OF reducing the
cost of crushing to q minimum, and then
selling the product at or near cost, thus
enabling favorably located communities
to avail themselves of the best incentive
for road building Cheap materially, with
out incurring any expense to the balance
of the State, which would really be bene-
fitted to the extent of the market pro-
vided in this way for surplus horse
power and convict labor. These items, as
we'll as certain allowance for cost of the
plant, should be allowed for at fair prices
in figuring cost.
Mcconnell accepted the substitute, and
the matter was referred to the Committee
on Width of Roads.
The convention then took recess until
