THE BIRDS AND BEES.
i think the bees the blessed bees
Are better. wiser far than We.
The very wild birds in the trees
Are wiser. far. II seems TO me.
For love and light and sun and air
Are theirs and not a bit OF care.
What bird makes claim to all Gods trees?
What bee makes claim o. oil God how-

Behold their perfect harmonies.
Weir common board, the common hours!
Say, why should man be less than these.
The happy birds, the boarding bees?

Hard Times.

Hard Times is a landing for the
rich and prosperous St. Joseph
country. How it got it's name,
nobody seems to know.
Here i'll 1852, when the famous
explorer, LaSalle, under a COM
mission from Louis XIV, Oh his.
way to discover the mouth of the
Mississippi river and to take pos
session of the Louisiana country
for France, landed and sent his
Lieutenant, Tonti, to the village of
Indians living on the south bank
of Lake st. Joseph, where the
Routh Wood plantation is located.
The Indian Chief invited La Sale
and his party to visit him, which
he did, and in'the life of La Sale
by Parton, this visit is recorded.
One of the strange things he saw
at the Indian village was numer-
Gus human skulls stuck about on
a line of stakes in front of the
village, and La Sale was inform
ed that the chief had died some
time before, and that these heads
beIonged to the victims who were
sacrificed to accompany his spirit
to the "happy hunting grounds. "
1t is said that many years ago
while the proprietor of Routh
Wood plantations was digging post
holes on the front for the purpose
of making a fence, many human
skulls were dug up which were pre-
sumed to be those of victims to
similar rites by the Indians who
lived there until the country was
settled up by the Anglo Saxon
race.
= Lake st. Joseph which lies back
of Hard Times, is bordered by
splendid cotton plantations, and
Is the garden spot of the cotton
country. In ante bellum times
some of the rich planters on this
lake had the most magnificent
residences in the Southwest,
where they lived in great luxury,
and life was one round of pleasure
and enjoyment.

NOTES Of INTEREST ABOUT Points ALONG The
RIVER BETWEEN NATcREz AND vICKSBURG.

Miss, who was the ancestor OF
many prominent families OF Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana.
Andrew Jackson, before he be-
came so famous kept a store with
race-course attached, where the
FOSTERING blades of that genera
ton came to drink, fight and
gamble. After his duel with Dom
elson, Gen. Jackson came here
and spent period long enough to
Justify him in marrying the widow
of the man he killed. He OBJ
tanned his marriage license in the
old town of Greenville back Of
Rodney, which was then the coun-
ty seat of Jefferson county, where
the giants Of the Mississippi bar
of that day met and fought their
forensic battles. Jackson was
married near Churchill, at the
residence of Mr.. - Green.
The proprietor of the Bruins
berg "Doggery" returned with bis
bride to Tennessee, from which
State he was elected president of
the United States.
1t was at point near Bruins
berg, ut the mouth of Bayou
Pierre. that the flat boat fiotllla
of Aaron Burr was captured by the
Mississippi maIitia and his treas
enable career brought to q sudden
close. He surrendered to Gov.
FCowles Mead at Calyiton few
miles below Rodney, was carried
to the old town of Washington,
the capitol of the Mississippi ter
rltory, where lie had Il preliminary
trial, in which the celebrated Geo.
Poindexter represented the gov
eminent and Judge William Bay
ard Shields, one of the ablest law
yers of the Natchez bar, repre-
sented the distinguishes prisoner,
who himself was an ex-vice presi-
dent of the United States.
The story OF how Burr forfeited
his bond, aed and was captured by
Gen. E. p. Gaines, was carried to
Richmond, Va, and finally tried
for treason, which has become u
cause Celebre" ranking along
with the most famous i'll history
is too familiar to everyone to be
more than referred to here.
1t was from point opposite
Bruinsberg on the Louisiana side
that Gen. U. s. Grant crossed the
army with which he reduced
Vicksburg in 1868, landing at
Bruinsberg, thence to Port Glib
son, where the first of the battles
of that famous campaign was
fought. Thus this apparently
obscure spot on the Mississippi
river is inseparably connected by
tradition and history with three
OF the greatest names of the re-
public-Andrew Jackson, Aaron
Burr and U. s. Grant.

On the sand-bar above Vidaiia
more than seventy years ago a
famous duel was fought between
two gentlemen, in the course of
which the seconds and bystanders
became involved and mum Der Of
men were killed aid wounded;
among the wounded was the fam
Gus Jim Bowie, who has gone
down III history as the inventor of
the terrible knife that bears his
name. This sand-bar was during
the dueling days of Natchez, the
favorite battle ground for all
whose wounded honor had to be
satisfied according to the Code.
The wrecks of several steamers lie
buried on this bar.

L'Argent gets its name from the
French word which means silver,
and tradition says that at the
mouth of Bayou L'Argenta Span
ish treasure sloop, which had been
sent up from New Orleans to pay
off the Spanish troops engaged in
a campaign against the Indians on
Sicily Island one hundred and
fifty years ago, was scrttled by the
crew who mutinied. killed their
officers and escaped with the treas
lure. Many of the mutineers were
captured and shot, and years at
forwards on q plantation formerly
belonging to Mr.. JAS. Miller near
Waterproof, negro plowed up an
iron bound keg which contained
Spanish coin bearing the date of
the early part of the eighteenth
century. 1t is supposed that this
keg was part of the treasure taken
from the Spanish sloop and buried
by the sailors who of course never
returned to claim it.
