The Mysterious Music Of Pas
cagouIa.

TFrom the Kalends, organ Of the woman's Col
| lege of Baltimore, January, lS9o
During a short residence upon the
Gulf Coast Of Mississippi some few
years ago, l became much interested
in one Of the strange, sweet legends
current in that portion of the coun-
try. Exerting greater charm upon
strangers than the peaceful loveliness
of the land, or the beauty, refinement
and hospitality Of It's inhabitants,
this story has wide circulation and
credencc among the people.
Many and varied are the versions
of this tradition, but they all have
their foundation in the Mysterious
Music of the Pascagoula. This is a
weird, musical sound which issues
from the caveIns and grottos Of the
Pascagoula bay and river 1t may be
heard at certain seasons OF the year,
at any hour OF the night, provided
that deathlike stiffness pervades the
air. At the least noise it ceases, and
is often not noticeable again for hours.
Its sound is 6tful. Now it rises as
the roar Of cataract; now it dies
away and the ear must be strained to
catch the feeble, quavering notes.
Some say that it most wonderfully
resembles a wind-harp; Others COM
pare it to the cumming OF an in
sect of great and curious powers;"
whllc yet a third party affirms that
an exact counterpart OF the music OF
Pascagoula is the wavering, tremu-
lous noise Of telegraph wires when
played upon by the wind. Some have
dared to aver that there is no harmony
in the sound, but all agree that it Is
mysterious and therefore charming.
TO account for this phenomenon many
fanciful myths have arisen. From
generation to generation they have
been handed down, growing with
their age.
Or the many there are two which
are most widely circulated and
are In every way the leading tradi-
tions. The first one tells Of a tribe
different in color and characteristics
from the rest OF the Indians. Its peo.
pie were gentle and peaceable, caring
nothing for the usual sports Of 1.-THE
wild man OF the woods" Their time
was passed In merrymaking and re.
jnicing. The river yielded them an
abundant living Of fish and oysters.
They loved the water, not only be-
cause it was the source OF their llveli-
hood, but because their ancestors had
been born in the sea. In q beautifui
temple on the brink OF the river they
gathered daily to worship the carved
image OF q mermaid. They played
before her upon strange shaped instru-
mcuts and gave voice to songs Of wild
beauty.
In 1889, shortly after the destruc-
tion OF Mauvila, or Mobile, by De 30
TO and his men, an old man made his
appearance among this tribe. He
wore q long white beard, his garments
we're loose and flowing, and In hls
right hand he carried the emblem of
the cross. He broudst with him >
hook for which he showed much fev-
erence. Bytesrses he began % teach

THE H4PPIEST LIFE.

The happiest life is the humble lot
Contented with plenty and peace,
With tender wife to brighten your cot,
And love ever on the increase,
Given health and strength and plenty
to do
In body and mind partake,
And a heart that trusts in God as true,
Such never makes life mistake.
Such an one will not envy wealth or
power,
Twin brothers to Worry and Care,
But will make the most of each golden
hour,
And of pleasures will have his share
His sleep will be sweet as babes at
rest,
His heart will be hopeful and free
At forty or fifty he'll look his best,
And ripe old age shall he see.
How often I've heard the wealthy COM
plain
OF anxiety, loss and care,
And often the mortal that lives for gain
Dies the victim of dark Despair;
While around his death-bed in dismal
NOPE,
Stand Jealously, Envy and Creed
At peace for time by the fervent hope
OF remembrance in will or deed.
Dear brother, toll on, looking up to God,
Each day hath an evening of rest
The loliest flower that gems the sod
May be of all flowers the best.
The happiest life is the humble one,
Power and wealth are often snare,
Content, love and peace is heaven begun,
For the blessing of God is there.

BILL FOR A NEW CAPITOL

In an interview at Jackson last
week DR.. Kiger said:
"The bill has already been drafted
providing fer an appropriation for the
erection Of a new capitol, cost not to
be less than $750,0O0, and will intro
duce this bill as it stands at present.
The main features of my bill are prac-
tically the same as those Of former
bill introduced by Inc on this subject
1t provides for the erection OF the
building on the present capitol site
naming the same commissioners who
were elected by the Legislature Of
1897, and giving the commissioners
themselves the right to adopt the
plans Of the building The amount
Of money to be appropriated Is the
same as In the former bill. My idea
is to take up the work where 1t was
LAID down by former Legislature
without having to 20 through all the
preliminarics that are usually found
necessary, and II this be done ! think
within three weeks after the matter
has been taken under consideration
the bill can be passed and the State
have new capitol commensurate

incredulous to believe these legendary
accounts, insist upon inquiring,
"What Is the real cause OF the mystic
riOus music?" they must be comforted
with the assurance that no one
knows. 1t has defled scientific inves.
tigation. However, while there is no
certainty, there is much speculation
as to the occasion OF such phenome-
non. Some say that 1t is the gurgling
OF waters in caverns, grottos and fls.
sures which abound beneath the sur.
face Of the river. But the most prob
able solution of the matter is a thco-
,ry that these musical sounds are pro.
duced by school of peculiar fish.
The fact that noise OF any kind i'm.
medlately puts an end to the music
would seem to corroborate this expla-
nation. Yetnnany objections and
reasons have been raised against 1t,
and the matter stands where it was
at first, shrouded 10 mist, doubt and
speculation.
The people resent all attempts at
scientific explanation and cling, with
true poetic instinct, to the legendary
accounts. For the mysterious music,
as it now stands, is envelOped by
thousand rare charms. The mIsts of
superstition render it touchlngly
thrilling. Oh what treat 1t Is to
hear this weird music!
''1t thrills on feeling deep,
You long to steal away and weep,
You sigh to listen and to sleep,
Lulled by the Spirit-Song."

THAT KISSING BUG.


The kissing bug has come

'Tis bug that performs its duty
Not in one, but in divers ways,
And alights on the lips of beauty

And cuts him swath that is wide.

Linger till love lies bleedin'

nation bade fair to become a christian

work was brought to sudden, dread
full close.
One night, at the solemn hour Of
twelve, when the moon flooded the
world with light, the waters Of the
river were seized with a violent agita.
ton, as if moved by myriads of invis-
ible wings sweeping above their sur
face. Several times the waters rolled
furiously from bank to bank and then
gathered themselves up into great
mass OF foaming billow. On the
crest Of topmost wave stood beauti-
full mermaid. She gazed upon the
shore with eyes Of unearthly lustre,
while chanting strains of bewitching
melody. Down to the rivers brink
rushed the inhabitants of the village.
Seeing them, the mermaid threw
sweetcr cadences into her ,uice and
sang a mystic song, the burden of
which was this Of repreated strain;
Come to me, come to me, ye children
OF the sea;
Neither bell, book nor cross shall win
ye from your queen"
The excitable, emotional Indian ma
ture waswrought to frenzy. Regard
less of consequences, one of the young
Indian braves plunged wildly into the
river. He was quickly followed by
his people. Men, women and children
vanished IN the twinkling of an eye.
The priest found himself alone upon
the shore. A horrid laugh of exulta-
tion rent the night air aSthe last OF
the unfortunate race disappeared.
With frightful roar the waters SUBJ
