1t is claimed that 10000 of the 49,
900 Maine Catholics are French, and
that it is no more than right that they
should have bishop of their own.
The French say that there are many
reasons why this should be granted.
In the first place their numerical
numbers give them this right, and
that interference with their schools

Or. Cook never reached the north pole.
General Hubbard went to Eagle isle
with the commander and went over
the public statement that Peary drew
up with the idea of disputing Cook s
Gains. The main points of Peary's
contention are that Cook was INSULT
GENTLY equipped that the speed he
alleges he made over the ice was i'm
possible and that the EskmOS deny
that Cook went out of sight of land in
the direction of the pole.

THE BAR BEYANT.

Greenvile has experienced thrill
of excitement this week over the
report that the person who is sue
cessfully defying the laws against
the sale of liquor at Nicksburg, had
purchased property opposite Green
Vile and would soon be operating
a bar beyant the big muddy.
The owners of the property i'll
question state that no such sale has
been made. and that the only pro-
position now pending. which is open
to all corners, is to sell one hundred
acres for S5o.ooo.oo.
This being the true state of the
case, the friends of order and good
government need experience no
| further alarm: and we will take
this occasion for saying te
those who may contemplate any
such evasion of Mississippi's laws
in this bailiwick that the good citi
zens of this county are set firmly
against any such proceeding ans
will exhaust every resource to de
feat their nefarious designs. TIL,
people of Greenville and Washing
ton county are determined that thu
law shall be enforced

will doubtless accompany it to the
end of time.
Therefore we would respectfully
suggest to our brethren of the press
and others that if they are unable to
accord their approval to Governor
Noel, that they at least withhold
their thoughtIess censure; for it Ill
accords with proper respect for
Mississippi to be continually in
dulging the speech of detraction
concerning her Governor.
We believe Governor Noel to be
a Christian gentleman, and until he
does something to forfeit our re-
spect we shall continue to regard
him in that light.

THE FACTS OF THE CASE.

1t seems a shame to shatter with
hard facts so much well-meant edi
torial moralizing, but the facts are
that the Miss Sigel who was muir
dered in New Y ork was not teach
er in "a mission school and never had
been, and that her alleged murderer
did not attend any such school or
make any claim to being a Chris
tan. OF course it is impossible for
the statement of these prosaic
facts ever to overtake now the ro-
mancing of the reporters which ac-
conpanied the account of this crime
when it first went out. 4 lie travels
many leagues while the truth is
getting its boots on.-Christ Ad-
