XVII.-MAPMAKER AND KING OF KINGS.
After Austerlitz, Napoleon conceded
to the Gar of Russia the privilege OF
retiringl Only a month before, Alex
ander had been in Berlin. Out at Pots
dam, on the Bird Of November, he and
Frederick William had sworn a secret
mighty oath over the tomb Of Frederick
tho Great. This conjuration with the
Gar did not now seem to have been an
expedient thing! Frederick, suppoGing
that Napoleon was not informed of his
perfidy, sent to the victor at Austerlitz
a message of hollow congratulation.
The Emperor, on receiving it, said that
Frederick William had written the let
ter, intending it for the Gear, but for
tune had changed the address to himself
The treaty Of Pressburg was another
peace that did not paoify. Europe was
prostrate Before Napoleon as far as the
Vistula; but England covered all sea
coasts from tho Adriatic to the Baltic,
and the whole Slavic race lay darkly
banked on tho horizon of the Northeast.
The Emperor began at once, with IN
credible audacity, to make new po'
litioal map for the European Powers,
and to support it with his under-kings
and princes, vassals Of Franco lnilu-
enced by the recent Russo Austrian
coalition, Italy undor the leadership Of
Ferdinand. king of the Two Sicilies
had hopefully synlpathizod with the al
lies. Instigated by his wife, Caroline
Maria, sister of Marie Antoinette, the
Neapolitan king admitted into his do
minions division of tho. Russian army.
The cause of offeuso was sufficient;
Napoleon, in January of 1906, sent a
corps, under his brother Joseph, to CO.
cupy Italy On the 18th Of February,
having entered Naples, Joseph was pro-
claimed king, and the Bourbon mon
arohy was abolished.
Notwithstanding the intended treach-
cry of Frederick William, tho Empero,
kept faith with him, and delivered Han.
over to Prussia. The King was reluctant
to accept the gift; for Hanover was
England's, and he would. fain be at one
with England The principalities along
Che right bank of, the Rhine, even from
Italy to Holland, were erected into the
Confederation of the Rhine. Fourteen
princes Of Germany voluntarily dotach-

THOU SHALT NOT ESCAPE
CALUMNY.n

Natchez Democrat.
The infection of evil speaking is an
always prevalent plague thriving in
miasmatic human souls and out
breathed through poisoned lips. Many
apparently excellent people are given
to unwearied search after notes in
the neighbors eye. They probe and
cut character, instead Of healing ahd
soothing the wounds that temptation
or vicious heredity may have left. 1t
does seem that there are natures so
hidcously malformed that they relish
scandal-fnd n%utriment, like vul-
lures, in a feculent mass. These evils
probably exist everywhere, but are
more readily observed in a small COM
munity than in a large M 1t has
been an unpleasant experience of one
person a number of times lately to see
and hear two housewives, at regular
hours, learning over the dividing
fence in their backyards ~dissectlng,
cutting up and down and through the
lives Of neighbors and Others who are
not neighbors. They cease the work
OF carnage only when the yards, tigura.
lively, are strewn with the lacerated
characters that have passed under
the knife of scandal. 1t is almost
fendish-more than ghOulish: for tt
despoll character is worse than rob
bling the dead.

GOV. STONES HONESTY.

We take pleasure in publishing and
indorsing every word of the following
appropriate editorial from the last
issue of the Oxford Globe. Gov. Stones
honesty of purpose on all questions
affecting the public welfare cannot be
disputed, nor can his character be
maligned by the little thrusts referred
to by the Globe:
As an advocate OF free and unlimit.
ed coinage Of silver, we say, and we
repeat, that the little thrusts, in the
shape Of poorly written squibs, that
are to be found in certain sheets In
the State at Gov. John NJ. Stone, are,
tosay'thel least, contemplate, uncalled
for and not 10 line with respectable
journalism. There is no assailing Of
Governor Stones honesty. The pco-
Pile Of Mississippi know that fact bet
ter than any one else. He may be
wrong, and we think he is, on the
money question, but by great Jupiter,
all Mississippians should treat him
with the utmost courtesy and give
him credit for being honest. Some
men hurt a cause which they espouse,
by a ~villf1cati0n OF an honorable Up-
pOnent.

SOUTHERN TOMATO BLIGHT

In the report for 1893, OF the Missi
sippi experiment station an accoun|
is given Of three years. experiments
conducted by f. s. Earle at the OceaI
Springs substation, for the prevented
Of the tomato blight. The exper|
ments consisted In soil treatments !
the field and bed and spraying til
plants with well-knowp fungicide|
Based on one years experience, tn
anthor thinks that whether III
blights Of tomatoes, potatoes, an
watermelons are Identical or not the
are not easily communicated from on
crop to another under the ordina1|
field conditions. The author present
the following tentative conclusion
!. In spreading compost for VI
seed bed and cold frame, use a liberI
amount Of lime, kaInit, ashes,
other potash salt. This will give goo
stiR-stemmed stocky plants, whld
are better able to resist blight.
2 A few days before sowing II
seed sprinkle the bed thoroughly viz
strong Bordeaux mixture and rake
In.
3. After the plants are set in "
6eld add Paris green to the Bordeal|
mixture and continue to spray at
tervals Of ten days or two weeks D
til the fruit is half grown. Care mu|
be exercised In spraying after Il
fruit Is set, as II is more easily inlur(
than is the foliage.
4. Never plant tomatoes on la1|
where they grew the previous yea
and at least two years. rest Is mu1
safer.
5. While this station does not
commend the practice Of fOlloWl1
either melons or potatoes with tom
toes, It records the fact that II c1

SAM JONES ON SILVER.

This is the way the Rev. Sam Jones
handled the silver question at Mexico,
Mo-, last Friday:
when these silver advocates 60 to
sleep it's a wonder to me that their
brains don't run out of their ears. If
they did you could put them back
with a teaspoon. We have discussed
gold and gold buggery and silver aud
silver diggery until we have the
country in a bad fix. What you want
to do is to get out OF debt. You have
worked your mouths more than your
hands. A fellow that monkeys about
the gold and silver question is in
debt. Find me a man that's in favor
of free silver that is out Of debt. |
want his picture to show over the
country, The new Acknowledgement
said the most sensible thing | have
heard for twenty years the other day,
and that was /: II want one dollar to
be as good as any other dollar"

times she looks for them abroad. This
is her feminine nature.
But, OF course, there is another side
to the picture. Marriages are not al
ways failures. There is no godlier
sight in all nature thana considerable,
loving husband and wife going down
the vale together loved by their chill
dren and grandchildren. To them life
was not a curse nor marriage a disap-
pointment. Neither money nor fine
clothes nor carriage at the door will
secure conjugal happiness, Nothing
but duty-conscieEtious, thoughtful
duty-and the performance of every
sclntilla of the marriage vows will in
sure it.

A CURE FOR TRAMPS.

Nashville Banner.
The proposed plan OF taking care of
Migrants in Massachusetts will, IL IL
be carried out, serve as an effective
antidote for tramps. The plan is to
establish a farm of 1900 acres to
which Migrants will be sent and put
through a compulsory course of agri-
cultural training for one or two years.
The average tramp will shun such a
benefcent institution as that, as no.
thing would be more horrlfying to
him than the prospect Of two years OF
hard labor on a farm. The profession.
al tramp likes frequent change of
scene and ample opportunities for OBJ.
servatiOn and rep0se. He will not risk
the Massachusetts plan Of training il
