exceeded all expectations in our lit
tie city this year. The quarantine
had made the outlook very gloomy,
but we are glad to announce the
realization of all the contrary.
The town cannon did not boom as
usual, but it is safe to say it will
on the next Fourth.
There was very enjoyable bar
becue given at Gulf View Monday
in celebration of the Fourth by the
kind-hearted and generous Mr.. e.
j. Bryan, of Bryan's Crossing. A
large crowd from here took adj
vantage of the "snap," not for
gotting their Sunday appetite. a
big time was reported.
As the End day of August draws
nearer it becomes more interesting
to know who the successful canoi-
dates will be, who will have the
affairs Of the town in charge for
the next two years.

The Lord of MIsruIe.

"The old capitol is dangerous
and leaks even to the grounc
floor"
-Four hundred thousand dollars
of ...interest-bearing bonds have
been issue in times of profound
peace"
Two hundred thousand dollars
have been authorized to be Dor.
rowed TO feed an empty treasury
and carry on the state govern
ment.
Forty thousand dollars were
worse than wasted at the extra
session of the legislature called by
the governor-the first one since
the carpet-baggers were driven
from the state-and the legislature
did not adopt the financial plan
of the governor, and the governor
did not approve the. statehouse
plan of the Legislature, not to
mention the commissioners which
that body thought proper and
suitable persons to handle the
money and look after the building,
albeit the commission had a stone
foundation.
Thousands of dollars were spent
at the special session of the legis-
lature discussing resolutions to in
vestigate drunkenness in high
official place, thus erecting a mon
ument of shame to the state which
will forever be in evidence in the
journals of the legislature, the
very pages of such journals being
printed out of the money of the
taxpayers.
The constitution has been
trampled under foot, and the laws
of the commonwealth spit on.
Over hundred papers, one or
two of them goldbugs, have
charged that public Office has been
used not only as q personal per-
quisite, but prostituted to crafty
personal spite.
Scandal after scandal has hui
inflated the state.
Taxes are higher than they have
been since Ames and his leeches
were fastened on the neck of the
state.
PigmIes have been foisted into
places filled by statesmen like
Lamar, George and Wasthall,
and states and combinations are
the talk of the state press.
The taxpayers are sweating
blood.
And yet there are those, bloat-
ed with audacity, who say that
free-born Mississippi shall not
discuss state issues when they
come to elect a governor next year.
Such persons evidently forget
that endurance has its bounds -

At 5 O'Clock Monday morning
occurred one of the most appalling
disasters in the annals of trans-At-
lantic commerce. The French
liner, La Bourgogne, with 7l2
souls aboad, in the dense of a fog
was run into by the iron sailing
ship, Cromatyrshire, forty miles
off Sable Island, and went to the
bottom. Five hundred lives per-
ished, only one Of the two hun
dred women aboard was saved.
The details are terrible. They
tell how the crew in overloaded
life boats with oars murdered wo-
men and children who pleaded for
assistance, to be saved from the
cruel, the yearning grave below.
The Bourgogne had left New York
the Saturday previous and was
bound for Havre, France.

heavily. The landlords son had been

gloom pervaded the place.

The others stared at him aghast, but
before they could reply the landlord
himself came In and proceeded to serve
out quarts Of ale in dignified fashion.
He went round the room systematically
until he came to the smart young man,
who held out his hand for the pitcher.

Gladstone's Intensity.

Early in life Mr.. Gladstone seems to
have needed the advice of the Hebrew
preacher, Whatsoever thy hand findeth
to do, do it with thy might" An illus
tration OF the gifted boys intensity is
told by an English writer in the ac-
count given by Dean Stanley of his first
meeting Gladstone. The old bishop of
Norwich, having been pleased with
some OF his sons performances, said
that as reward he would take him to
visit William Gladstone, the most ex.
traordinary schoolboy who had ever
been seen.
Ihey went to the house where he
was, and Arthur Stanley was sent out
into the garden to make acquaintance
with the prodigy, who was said to be
sitting in a summer house at the end of
walk. He went and found Gladstone
reading a book. As Stanley entered
Gladstone looked up and said, with
great vehemence:
Little boy, little boy, have you read
Gray?"
Stanley, much startled, faltered out
That he had not read Gray, to which
Gladstone, with increased intensity of
manner, replied, "Then you must read
Grayp'
The same writer gives another illus
tration OF Gladstone's doing with all his
might whatever occupied his mind:

When we returned to the deck, the dis
lance between the two boats had dimin-
ished considerably, and we could make
out the schooner quite distinctly. She
was little more than five miles away
now, and there could be no possible
doubt about her identity. Then as we
watched she went slowly about, and
next moment we saw string of sig
nails break out at her masthead.

OUR MARRIAGE AND THE SETTLEMENT
AGAIN.
The first Of the two circumstances 20
be recorded is my marriage. On July
1S, seven days exactly after saying good
by to England, we reached Madeira.
Previously to sighting the island, Wal
worth, in conversation with the cap
tain, had allowed him to suppose that
Allie was great heiress and that ours
was runaway match. His nautical
spirit Of romance was stirred and he
found early occasion to inform me that
he would do everything in his power to
further the ends we had in view.
As soon, therefore, as we were at an
Choir In harbor and the necessary for
ms,lities had been complied with went
ashore. hunted mp the proper authorities
