In spite of the fact that no candidate
for any office or any prominent men in
the state have expressed a desire for a
convention, the Jackson correspondent
of the Picayune says a convention to
nominate state officers is probable. If
any candidate wants to commit political
hari kari let him say he is in favor of a
convention instead of a primary.

The disarmament Of the Third Miss
issippi at Albany, Ga, was attended
By a most pathetic circumstance-the
d|ishonorable discharge and disgrace Of
Major Gibbs, one of the best soldiers
and most thorough disciplinarians Of
tn command. His enormous offense
was getting on a little spree and causing
the municipal authorities of Albany
some trouble and for this he must hang
his head in shame and go through life
with he stigma of a dishonorable disc
charge from the army ever following
him. This fine young Mississippian,
who gave several months to the faithful
ser ice Of his country, for one thought
less act, was given the punishment of a
traitor. Truly, the punishment was
too severe to fit the crime.-Columbu.

The case of State VS. Baxter
Hopkins attracted much attention
but was closed by his discharge
on motion Of the defendants on
proof of the failure of the Legis-
lature of 1895 to properly pass
the cage of Consent" bill raising
the age of consent from IA to 10
years.
That bill was one of those Sc
lected by the commission appoint
ed by the governor as passed
without the proper formalities of
law being observed, and re-enact-
ed by the last Legislature, and
falls by the decision of the SUI
Preme court in the celebrated
John Kingsley case.
The officers were anxious to
hold the defendant, but owing to
the irregular manner in which the
bill passed and the decision of the
supreme court, they acknowledge
the correctness of the decision,
but regret that the conditions are
such, as they do not like to see
crime unpublished, by reason of
of law and court de-
cisions. Teton Peak.

hu band il was in the wife's name
Married women were compet-
ent to conduct transactions relat-
ing to money, to realty and 10
slaves, their contracts being some
times witnessed BY the husband,
while various business transact
tons were performed in common
b. husband and wife, the former
being alone responsible as guaran-
tr, the mere presence Of the wife
giving legality 10 the husbands
transactions, at least in certain
cases. There are indications that
husband and wife enjoyed APP
Proximately equal rights with re-
spect to property, the control of
Children, etc: there is little refer
ence to the husbands duty to sup
port the wife though it appears
that in case Of divorce the hus-
band paid alimony according to
his means. Frequent reference
TO slaves appears in the contracts,
but the author postpones discus
sion Of the subject of slavery and
the condition of female slaves.
The information brought to
light through the study of these
contracts bears on the de-
velopment Of institutions. APP
parantly the regulations govern
ing the contracts studied pertain
ed chiefly to urban life; certainly
the regulations seem hardly in ac-
cord with the customs prevailing
among contemporary nomadic
-ribes and still maintained among
heir descendants of similar habit. !

Walt Whitman,
The autumn batch of recruits for the
old regiment had just been uncarted.
AS usual, they were said to be the very
worst draft that had ever come from the
depot. Mulvaney looked them over,
grGnted scornfully, and immediately re-
ported himself very sick.

the doctor, who knew something of
Tcrence's ways. ''Your temperatures

sick now, but will be dead If these
boys are thrown at me in my reduced
condition. Doctor, dear, supposin' You

en- -
go to the hospital, then, you old con.
triver, said the doctor, laughing.
Terence bundled himself into a blue
bedgown-Dinah Shadd was away at
tending to u majors lady who preferred
Dinali without diploma to anybody
else with hundred-put pipe in his
teeth, and paraded the hospital balcony
exhorting Ortheris to be father to the
new recruits.
They're mostly yonr own sort, little
man, he said, with a grin. "Ehe top
spit av Whitechapel. I'll interoeue
them when they's more like something
they never win be, an that's good,
honest soldier, like me-"
Ortheris yapped Indignantly. He
knew as well as Terence what the COM
ing work meant, and he thought Ter
ence's conduct mean. Then he strolied
off to look at the new cattle who were
staring at the unfamiliar landscape
with large eyes, and asking if the kites
were eagles and the parish dogs jack
ais.
well, you are holy set of bean
faced beggars, you arc," he said, gent
ally, to knot in the barrack square.
Then running his eye over them.

There is no scorn so complete as that
OF an old soldier for the new. 1t is
right that this should be so. A recruit
must learn first that he is not a man.
