The new book 10 be issued by the State

lima and It's Resources" will contain 400
uages. OF these 30 are now ready and
100 more in hand. There VIII be sixty fuil

hand. all specially prepared and original.
To-day 500 more from the Peabody
fund WAS received by this State. or IT,
800 goes to the colored normal schools,
and 500 70 the Clinton Graded school
George Il. French. the chief leader Of ID.
l.. Russell. says the latter hourshes on
the abuse OF the press, and that ne hopes
this viii be kept up.
The secret Of the wild desire or the
Republican party to get at least tne
name" of the Populist party az an ally
in this campaign Is that it wants TO con-
troll the election machinery. The election
law recognizes three political parties
Democratic Republican. and PopullsL
and each has a judge of election, etc.
A FATAL MISTAKE.
A leading silver Democrat said to-day
that IL would be. I'm his opinion. a fatal
mistake for the extreme silver Democrats
10 carry out their idea Of not nominating
n state ticket at the convention, June
18th. but Of deferring 10 until after the
national convention; that a square fight
IS needed, with no postponement OK nomi-
nations.
Otho Wilson says that he thinks all
the silver men viii get together IN North
Carolina. but that no one knows.
W. T. Hyams. the new secretary OF the
Republican State Committee, Is brother
in-law Of Senator Pritchard.
The Commissioner OF Agriculture says
there IS "the best crop prospect In years;
that this is the general comment The
contrast with 1885 Is sharp, May being
then very unfaVOrable. The dryness OF
the season has not affected, materially
farming operations. and farm work IS
much above normal and shows good
condition.
COTTON.
II IS found that IS per cent. more cot
ton is planted than last year, while the
corn crop falls of only per cent. The
ratio Of excess Of cotton and deficiency in
corn IS not maintained. The condition Of
wheat IS %. which holds up well; and Of
oats. 81. which indicates a shortage. IL
was thought from the increase In cotton
and tobacco that the number Of horses
would largely increase. 1t is an error
The increase is only 3 per cent, and in
mules / per cent. In cattle there is a
( per cent. shortage. OF this there Is
no explanation, save that large numbers
have been shipped TO other States. Hogs
are 81 per cent. which Is about normal
and indicates plenty OF meat. There are
some complaints Of cholera.

Joan Of Arc ON the battlefield.

In battle her courage was fearless,
and we'll it was that it was SO, for
each success was dearly bought, her
indomitable energy alone inspiring
her faint hearted followers. When
her troops threatened retreat, it was
by throwing herself into the thick
est of the fight, crying, They are
oursl' that she turned defeat to VIC
tory. Often wounded, she disdained
the pain of her mangled flesh and
remained on the field as an example
to her men. A gracious woman with
al, her pity was even greater than
her courage, Drawing and receiving
blows, but never returning them.
She had but one weapon, her ban
ner, for her sword never left its
scabbard. Later she was to say that
she Loved her banner a thousand
times more than her sword" At
night, when the heat of battle was
assuaged, her tears fell at the
thought of the wounded and the
dead. IT have never seen French
blood shed without my hair stand
ing on end, was one of her naive
utteranoes. The enemy commanded
her pity as we'll, and she was as Of
ten seen assisting the dying English
as her own people. Thus she was
not only the mind which directs, she
was likewise the heart filed with
sympathy, the soul solicitous of the
welfare of other souls, intuitively
understanding that the soldier who
fights the best is he whose heart is
pure. In the same spirit she tighten
ed the burden of the army by cur
failing useless luggage, and she
drove away the disreputable women
who had followed the camp and
with them the debauohery and dis
order which they had brought. On
the other hand, she gently admon-
ished her soldiers to clear their con-
science, TO be virtuous and religious
az we'll as brave.-"The National
Hero of France" by Maurice Boutet
de Monvel, in Century.

Some Unique Examples OF How Ne @

Captain r. nj. Randall copied the
certificates of q dumb man encoun-
tered upon his interesting mission
to Nepaul-for the purpose of rails
ing o second battalion to the re-
nowned Third ghookas. Didar Singh,
schoolmaster of the Twenty. first N.
l., wrote: ''This poor Brahmin
seems to be deprived of speaking or

tificates that his family also 10 de-
prived of some organ or other. All
people who wish to show pity on

small donation may be given to the
bearer of this book. He is actually
dumb and more so. Very poor.
Another kind soul took the opportu-
nifty to repeat the "beatitudes" in
this fashion, Blessed are they that
their persecution for ritousness sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. !"
Finally there was a testimonial
bearing the mystic signature Loft
u.s." Hoping that everybody shall
help the man as far as they can.
The bearer of this, presume a Brah-
min, is apparently dumb as have
by subjecting him to a test on this
point though it might be questioned
whether he only sustains life on
milk if so milk must be truly nour-
ishing diet as his physical condition
testifies this of course does not alter
the fact that he is really deserving
of support which hope the Chandari
populace will afford him.
Lady Dufferin has recorded some

"A delicate attention. Finally he
presented petition signed: &c. p.

Here's another brilliant concep.

mittee room, and it renquired ninety
three ballots to name the winner, who
proved to be John W. Hall, from the west
end of the ceunty-a first-class man in
every respect-but, as before said, no
other kind was before the committee.
The trial of Penicks, charged with the
murder of Geo. Eggleston a few miles
from here on election day, 1868, is now on
and will be given to the jury today. Pen
icks made his escape and nothing was
heard of him for a long time, but some
time this year, through a law suit in re-
gard to some land in this county, he was
located at Yazoo City, Miss, where he
had been living for a long time. He is
said to have accumulated considerable
property at that place, and is regarded
as one of the most substantial farmers of
the county. Only one witness was pres
ent at the killing, and he happens yet to
be living in a few miles of his old home,
and yesterday testified. 1t seems that
Penicks and Eggleston had a difficulty
on the morning of the killing in which
Penioks, who was a much smaller man
than Eggleston, came off second best.
Penicks had apparently gone home, and
went to the house of g sick neighbor, Mr..
]. G. Green, the witness in question, and
while he and Green were sitting on the
hall steps Eggleston rode up. A friendly
word or two passed between himself and
Green, when Penicks made remark and
the old quarrel was renewed between the
two men, which ended in Eggleton throw
ing off his coat, dismounting from his
horse and advancing on Penicks, who
had risen to his feet on the steps. He
had gotten about ten feet inside the gate
or one third the distance from the house
to the gate. when Penicks drew his pistol
and fired, shooting him in the neck. Egg
gleston lived only few minutes, and no
arms were found on his person. Both
sides are represented by able counsel, the
state by Mr.. Carmichael, the solicitor for
this district and Judge H. c. Jones, of
Florence. The defense is conducted by
Messrs Almon e. Bullock, of this place,
and Kirk & Almon of Tuscumbia- Mr..
Penicks' son is with his father in his
hour of trial, and several relatives of the
dead man, Eggleston, are aiding the
state. A big crowd was In attendance
Tuesday. and will surely be on hand to-
day to see the end of this tragedy of
generation ago. Public interest In the re-
suit Is very keen, Notwithstanding the
fact that so long a time has elapsed and
most of the attorneys now In the case, as
well as the most of the jury, were little
toddlers or not born at the time of Its oc-
currence.
