"Choir." :"

ChurehSocrs who follow the service in their prayer books would certainly miss tie dear old phrase" concerning 'quires and places where they sing. and ill time the old fashioned :qulres' may be made new fashioned again by the coming of rationalized spelling. "Choir" was most unnecessary out rage upon the language. The old Eng fish .'qucr" or "quere' became quite naturally "quyer' or "quire." and s" 1t remained until the end of the seven teenth century when somebody seems to have introduced "choir' bcause if looked more like the French ''choeur,' as if that were q valid reason.

Cockades and Buttons.

Ihp cock:tdc originated simply In tn knot of ribbons or strings by which tue broad flaps of the seventeenth cen tury round hat We're cooked of drawn up to the brim in fine weather. and thus originated the three cornered hat as well aS the cooked hat of later times There was nothin" specially military about the usage, as the ig- norant assert. The same strings sur vive in he loops of he hats of bishops aud other cceltSiaStical dignitaries ill Great Britain. in the strings of the hats worn by French cures and Span ish and Italian padres and in the cords which are still seen on the hats of some livery servants.
 It naturally became the custom for military men to cock" their hats with the livery color of the prince they served. and as the Hanoverian color was the convenient one of black the "black cockade" became associated in the minds of the people with military uniform. In an old Scotch song of Shirra muir, citing Wood words Her aldry." we read of the red coat lads with black coekades," and a knot of white ribbons was naturally chosen as the badge of their opponents. When the old use of the strings was forgot ten the knot in the form of rosette of ribbon. survived. just as did the buttons on ehe backs of our coats. which were intended to fasten back the flaps in riding or marcllng-"J Jus t}ce of the Peace"

that the flag Of the Virginia,

is likely to pass into the hands
of private collectors, very likely
in the North. It would be diff
cult to exaggerate the senti-
mental loss from such a sale.
The flag which floated over the
pent-roof of the Virginia, as she
went forth into the Roads, 1ut-
tered over one Of the most mem
orable scenes in all naval an
nails. The battle which was
fought beneath that flag marked
one of the greatest epochs in the
history Of maritime warfare.
and changed the entire naval
methods of the world.
Virginia, above every state,
should claim this flag. The
cruiser was built in a Virginia
navy yard, by Virginia carpen-
tiers, was remodeled by Virginia
engineers, was named after the
state and fought in these waters.
No one else has a similar interest
in the old standard.
When the assembly convenes-
unless some patriotic society
acts frst-it is to be hoped that
some legislator will introduce
bill providing for the purchase
Of that flag to the end that the

A Priceless Piece of Bunting.

The world was shocked when
t was announced a few years
ago that the most famous bugle
in exi tence might leave Eng
land. 1t was considered little
short of a crime that the horn
which sent the six hundred to
charge at Balaklava should pass
,ut of reverent and patriotic
lands. 1t belonged to a glorious
lay in England's history, the
mute memorial of past heroism.
Here in the South we have
,een more reckless than the
english. In the years that have
passed since the close of the war
We have allowed many relics to
disappear that should have been
preserved, and suffered many
buildings to go to ruin which
night have stood for centuries.
IN fact. but for the patriotism of
such organizations as the Con-
'ederate Memorial Literary So
ciety, comparatively little would
| now remain to fell of the war
between the states. These
women, and kindred bodies, have
gathered many memorials of the
)ast, and have saved much that
would otherwise have nodded in
sarrets or rotted in cellars.

the most glorious of all war relics
will be lost. We are Informed

w. D. ANDERSON.

Upon the announcement OF the
death of Senator A. j. McLaurin,
w. D. Anderson. Esq.,, began to
receive a number Of very earnest
solicitations by phone, wire ano
letter, urging him to become g
candidate to fill the vacancy,
These solicitations have contin-
ued from all sections of the state
and If Mr.. Anderson decides tc
permit his name to 60 before the
legislature, he will develop a very
strong following.
MI. Anderson is a native OF
Lee county and his many friends
here and throughout the county
would very much enjoy the dis
tinction that would come to hin
through the election to the Uniteo
States Senate. He is a lawyer OF
extensive and high attainments
and is recognized throughout the
state as one of the foremost mem
bers of the Mississippi bar. Ir
the prime of life and with a laud.
able ambition to serve his state
with honor to her and credit t.
himself, he would soon impress
upon the Senate his personality
and make for himself a record
equal to that made by Mississip

tatives.

Dor, East Prussia, in the form OF a
sword belonging to Capt. John Foote,
who commanded the British corvette
Conflict and was with four seamen
drowned la the harbor in April, 1854,
owing to the capsizing of a ships
boat. Capt. Foote had been on shore
IN connection with some prizes which
he had brought in to Memel. The find
was reported to the emperor, who or
dered inquiries to be made, with the
result that the weapon is to be re-
stored to Capt. Foote'S son, Vice-Ad-

THE SENATORIAL SITUATION.

The death Of Senator A. j.
McLaurin precipitates the sena-

primary election.
The result cannot be forecasted
IS there are several factors to
De taken in consideration in
naming Mr.. McLaurin's sue
lessor. Candidates galore are
n the field and until the frs
caucus is held the strength o.
zach factor cannot be correctly
estimated. The legislature will
have ample time in which tt
determine the fitness of thu
yarious aspirants and it is t
De hoped that the best mai

A Star That Winks.

There is in the constellation
Pegasus a little variable star
that may reasonably be said to
wink. Two or three times in
the course of a single night this
curious star can be seen to fade
and then to brighten like a signal
light. For about two and three
quarter hours it becomes fainter
and fainter; then comes a change,
and at the end Of the two and
three-quarter hours more it is as
bright as at the beginning.
Unfortunately, it can be seen
only with a telescope. Yet it
ranks as a sun. 80 Harper's

that Zelaya murdered two Ameri-
