Prnhihition in Mississippi.

A correspondent claims that Adams County, Mississippi, the county of Natchez. is also wet" county, mak' ing all told seven wet" counties in a State consisting of seventy-five coun- ties. In two of these counties, those of Aberdeen and Canton, dry" cam paigns are in active progress, and it is believed that these two counties will become "dry" counties also, leaving only the counties of Vicksburg and Natchez and three suburban coast counties "wet." This is of itself an astonishing result.
 It came about through local public sentiment acting under local option law. No county became "dry" until there was an overwhelming public sentiment in it against whisky selling There was no convulsion throughout the State; no frauds anywhere, but from year to year each county acted independently in accordance with the will, not of the State, but of its owr people. AS a rule the women and the churches of county formed ring directed against dram drinking in their own county, leaving other counties and all localities outside of the State to determine their own liquor laws. Such a ring in any county is well-nigh invincible. No politician is willing to stand up against the women and the churches, if he has any honorable am. bition left in hlm, and Mississippi is today a standing witness to the eff. ciency of such combination. Each wing of the combination is powerful and when the two join hands in one combine nothing can face it or cope with it.

Not chewed Deep Enough.

The humorous side of the subscription book business is frequently in evidence, but 1t Is only now and again that 1t pre- sents a fresh side. says Harper's Bulle- tin. The following letter was received by the publishers the other day from g prominent New England physician, after Twain's best books. It must be noted, by the way, that these books have un- cut edges-the uncut edges being feat- ure which it is difncullt to get the aver age man to appreciate, and the explana, ton of which Is severe tax on the rc- sources of the salesman. Thereby hangs this correspondents tale of woe.
 "Gentlemen;-You do not find enclosed the payment you are expecting, but you are no more disappointed than were we when We opened our package of books we find books with edges Gall except the top edge) which looked as though they had been chewed off by the rats. instead of being cut smooth, only they were not chewed deep enough. There were left innumerable leaves still unchewed, which the reader must disconnect ere he could pursue hls narrative. Very truly yours,

Peace in China Auain.

The peace protocol has been signed, and the allies are to leave China this month, carrying, of course, all the loot that they had not previously shipped home. There is little of value left in China that the allies and their con federates in crimes could lay their hands on. They took ah they could reach, and their raids were but loot ing opportunities.
 But peace comes to China without involving an indemnity beyond her re- sources, but fully up to it, and without loss of territory beyond what had ai- ready been grabbed in Manchuria and the ccast. As China had been living in a Fools Paradise and was as help less as a baby when the clash of war came. 1t must be said that she comes out of the hands of the allies reason ably well, although thousands and tens of thousands of ner innocent peo- pie have been slain.
 It is difficult to say what effect the footing and Russian massacres will have upon the people of China. At present they hate everything of West ern origin. How far this will affect trade no one knows. How far it will close China to foreigners cannot now be told. Prince Yuan and the Empress Dowager still live, and there is scarce lv doubt as to their restoration tc power as soon as the allies leave China. In fact, they have never beer out of power among the Chinese. l is not natural to expect that tRe Chin csc will welcome back men frdp the nations that have murdered their peo ple and robbed them to the full innits of robbery, for everything was stolen in Pekin that could be turned into cash or sent home. There will be fric- tion in China, but a naked Chinaman will be apt to buy coarse cotton goods, and perhaps the trade in cottons will not be interfered with.

On the night in question the super who played the messenger had resolved to cheat his chief out of the usual vocifer- ous applause. As the story runs Mac ready had sternly reproved the man for some breach of duty, and the super burned for revenge. The play was re> ceived with enthusiasm to Macready's s robust art.
 And the great moment came when the popular tragedian was preparing to de- liver, in thunderous tones his order for the decapitstion of the shifty duke. (To him enter super.)

nriher Was Given a Lesson.

General Ludlow was known in the army for his utter fearlessness and his reek- less disregard for public criticism where he considered that he was doing what was good for the public service, relates the Indianapolis News. A story is told of an attempt by a wealthy contractor to brlbe him while he was In charge of some public improvement. The contrac> tor. who asked some favor, quietly slip ped a 5000 note across the table to Gen erai Ludlow The latter as quietly opened the drawer of his desk, and, tak- ing out box of cigars, offered one 10 the contractor. The cigar was accepted, General Ludlow's action being taken as an indication that the bribe would be re- ceived in the proper spirit. The General then calmly picked up the $1o.ooo note, lighted 1t at the grate, and, after allow ing it to burn nearly to his fingers, re- marked:
 Have a light, sir"
 The contractor dropped his cigar and bolted from the office.

LOOT BARRED OUT.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelpnia Record
 Doubts have been expressed by Direc- tor Cesnola of the Metropolitan Museum of Art as to the acceptability to that in- stitution of a proposed gift of Chinese art objects from the secretary of the American legation at Pekin. The Amer ican secretary of legation, to be sure. Is not the kind of man to have acquired his collection otherwise than legitimately but the directors of the New York mu- scum have on the occasion of other re- cent offers of Chinese curios required as a condition to their acceptance proof not only that the present possessor bought them, but that the person from whom they were purchased had a legal and moral right to dispose of the same. The museum will not give any room among its exhibits to Chinese loot. This fixed purpose of looking gift-horses in the mouth Is creditable to the institution in question and to its managers, particular ly in view of the fact that the directors of the Louvre and of other great Eu- ropean repositories of art objects have permitted their aesthetic feelings to tri- umph over their moral sense by accept ing gifts of what they knew to be stolen property.
