Mr.. Manship's Lecture.

The Hon. Luther Manship, of
jackson, Miss, and a member of
the Mississippi State Legislature,
delivered his secol.d oration here
last Tuesday night, zslrioH TIE
highest flattery TINT can be paid
him is: that it was the same de-
livered last week, and to practi-
cally the same audience, and yet
the applause was vociferous, and
his welcome enthusiastic; the
truth is Mr.. Manship is an artist, ,
in that he holds the mirror up to
nature and does not offend the
taste by exageration; his imper-
sOnation of he Sout hern darkey,
Was so true to nature, that had he
been blackencd up and met on
the street, lie could not have
been told from a thousand other
"coons' in the same walk of life;
no one not Il native of the South
Southy, raised up wit h the darkcy
and knowing his peculiarities
from infancy up could have so
faithfully portrayed the brother in
black, from his shambling gait, to
the butchery Of the kings English.
We do not dwell on his impcr-
sonations of the jew, Dutchman,
and Irish Larry O'Dec, because
"there are Others on the Amcri-
can stage, rs good perhaps better,
but when it comes to the Mississ-
ippl and Louisians darkey, Mr..
Manship is facile princeps.
Mr.. Manship has many claims
to our affection, he is one of us,
as he apt]y expresses it ''of the
South-Southy, his State is our
adjoining neighbor, and ought to
be part of us, or we of them; he
contributed his splendid talent to
the relief of our suffering in North
Louisiana, and where is the var
let so mean, so contemplate, who
will deny that he who gives his
time and talents to a cause, par
ticularly when the former con-
stitutes his revenue, his daily
bread, contributes proportionate-
ly more, than he who from out
his abundance gives monyed
consideration which measured in
dollars is equal or greater than
the amount realized from the time
and talent of the artist, be he act
or, musician or orator, editor or
physician or any OF that band of
who are ever at the SER
vice and mercy of the public, final
ly Mr.. Manship has a claim that
every sympathizer with the suffer-
ings of our veterans, dare not
gainsay, he has made and is still
a gallant fight, in the leg
islature Of his state, for the es-
tablishment of 4 Soldiers Home
in Mississippi, and we sincerely
trust his constituents will return
him to the house to further this
work. We commend him to the
hospitality of our neighboring
towns should they have the OPP
of hearing him, with
the assurance that his evenings
is artistic, eloquent.
chaste, and that its pathos and
humor is so harmoniously blended
that it is truly "a glass of cham
pagne with tear in it.

mouldcrs of public opinion to en-
deavor to bring about some inn
provement in our lamentablc con-
dition? In six or eight or ten
months, when the campaign of
1900 opens, all these things Will
be eagerly seized upon by candi-
Gates for public favor in order to
make political capital against this
or that man or this or that set of
men. Why wait until then to
agitatc these questions? Is it not
the part of craftsmanship, of hui
manitarlanlsm, of philanthroph
to remedy these evils now even if
by so doing some precious
campaign material is destroyed?

When laborers organize to pro-
tect themselves from the exactions
of monopolies, trusts and corpo-
rations there is Il grand roar about
the rule of mobocracy. The
workers are styled anarchists,
and their oppressors and robbers,
promoters of American progress
and enterprise. 1t is about time
for the Democracy that is repre-
sented in the patriotic and liber-
ty-loving masses, to man the ship
of State, and direct her course in
order to ensure her future safety.

The New Year.

The year 1898 has gone by like
some immense ship on a long voy
age, laden with the treasures of bill
lions of memories. A mighty ar
COSY directed by the Jason of Des
tiny, on her way to the world be
yond the flood that carries the
chronicles of the world bearing
every complexion of the dark and
the bright in the nature and the
practice ofmanliud. All the deeds
OF our race are stereotyped and will
hereafter be learfnlly apparent in
the glance Of omniscience.
A new year puts in, with 10 part
of its cargo aboard. The sails are
spread, and filled to their full capa-
city 10y the zcphyrs of hope. The
Old year has been more than or,lin-
arily eventiuI with the people Of
this Country. As nation, our
strides in national Importance have
been gigantic-our achievements
astounding and almost fabulous.
The, family of nations have be-
held with wonder the power we
possessed, but had kept dormant
until the eNisencies OF humanity
aroused us to action. Different cs-
Inmates of our national grandeur
have been forced upon the worlds
opinion and Il different rank in the
family of nations has been readily
assigned us by the consensus of
mankind. What the New Year
may bring forth we OF course can
not know, but may hope it may be
much good. The past had added to
our National domain, and let us
hope that by intelligent aud well
directed enterprizing effort, we may,
in proportion add to our means of
enjoyment and happiness. Above
all, let us one and all resolve to
cultivate with Jealous assiduity the
arts and sciences Of peace and har-
mony. Carefully utilized, we have
within our grasp, if not entirely
under our command the means of
prosperity.
We have seen our parish and
town start into new life, their cap
abilities and possibilities exempli
fed, until the appearances OF even
ten years ago, have been metamor-
phosed. We heartily felicitate our
people, and particularly our habitu
al readers and patrons, and invoke
~
their efforts directed to the diffusion
of useful information, the establish
men of IL higher standard of morali
ty, a closer social communicable
suppression of crimes and ruinons
vices, the discovery of an efficient
system of sanitation, and vitalizing
of the laws of our noble State. To
all a prosperous year, and content
ment.

Ehe Columbian Party.

The young gentlemen of Opclou
sas should be thankful to the young
ladies for the many courtesies eX-
tended them, in tho way Of rcccp-
tions, euchrcs, etc, but perhaps one
that they should most appreciate
and remember is the "Columblan
Party given at the residence Of
Mrs. j. Z. Stewart, Thursday night
Dec. Goth. One appreciative young
man, when asked why it was that
the ladies made such successes Of
their socials, replied, "bccanse the
ladies give it, which is a most cor
rect conclusion, and explains the
success of this party. Mrs. Stew
arts residence, where the party was
given, was most handsomely deco
rated for the occasion with ever
green's, moss and flowers, tastetulIy
set hnd draped where they would
show to the best advantage. For
the entertainmentot of the guests reci
tations were given by Misses Cain,
Mann and Fauntlcroy, which were
excellently rendered, and greatly
enjoyed and appreciated by all.
Music and singing by the Misses
Cain and Misses Lula Edwards and
Mable Ogden, received merited APP
plause, and hearty encores were
good naturedly complied with.
After the music ceased the ladies
announced that "hearts would be
matched for supper" that is, the
young ladies and gentlemen, having
drawn each an irregular card from
a basket, must find the correspond
ing part, which would form d perfect
heart, the one holding same being
your partner for supper; when all
had found partners the line OF
march was taken for the dining
room, and there upon the beautiful
ly spread tables, presided over by
Madames Stewart, Thompson, San
ders and Redmond, was d feast fit
for a king! every imaginable delica-
cy calculated to please the inner
man being provided, and that all
heartily enjoyed it goes without
saying. When supper was over the
guests repaired to the parlor, where
the remainder Of the evening was
spent in conversation, dancing, mu-
sic and singing. And when the
faithful clock admonished the
guests that they had carried their
pleasures into another day, all were
free in expressing thanks to the
ladies, to whom they were indebted
for the pleasures of the evening.

Fire.

Fire broke out in the building
on Main street occupied by Sy-
rian named Merry, last Wednes-
day morning at about two O'Clock,
and the adjoining buildings being
old wooden structures, qnickly
caught and were completely con-
sumed. The contents of all the
shops, except Dietlein's ware
house at the corner of Main and
North streets, were nearl y all
saved, but the goods in the ware
house, building 40 by SO feet in
area, were almost totally destroy
ed. This building was filled with
hardware, paints, oils, liquors.
crockery, &C., and the loss on
same is between six and seven
thousand dollars, insurance $3.-
900. The stores occupied by
Merry and Brocato, and owned
by Mrs. G.. Brand, and Pulford's
saddle and harness shop were
bnrned to the ground, no insur-
ance, but their contents were
nearly all saved. The Isaacs'
property on the opposite side of
the street and Dietlein's large
warehouse in the rear were saved
by vigorous application of water
from the hydrants, the water-tank
being emptied. The buildings be-
ing old wooden houses, the loss
on them will not run very high,
and Dietlein considers himself
fortunate to have escaped with
no greater loss, as an immense
quantity of goods were stored III
his buildings near by. The ground
occupied by the burned houses,
being near the center Of town, is
valuable, and will probably soon
be rebuilt.
