WOMEN BEFORE THE POPE.

Most people know that it is etiquette
at the papal court for women, what
ever their rank, to appear in black,
but few know that an exception to
this rule is made for the pope s sisters
and niece, all of whom are privileged
to wear white at the audiences and
church ceremonies, but the old ladies
do not avail themselves of the relaxa-
ton of an ordinary rigid regulation,
though the niece makes point of
wearing white when attending papal
functions, her mantilla as well as her
dress being as white as snow.
Another little known point of papal
etiquette is that women who come TO
the public or private audiences must
keep the right hand uncovered; indeed,
1T is even more correct for both hands
to be ngloved.-Lady s Pictorial.

I Beneath the pine7
/ Hard set and white his face,
/ His pipe between his lips
| From which, in little sips,
| The puffs of short white smoke are slid.
Who's he beneath the hangman s tree,
the place
Where shrift is short? Before his face
His grave, new dug, which smells of
clay.
| The Provost Marshal, like a rod,
Stands straight to send a soul to God,
And dawn creeps grey and chill.
IT'S not an easy thing to die, alone
and cold;
To see the grave unroll
In the chill dawn; without
The maddening yell, the charge, the
shout,
The blood vibrating like a bell, and
mad to kill
Or to be killed; to see the red blood
spill
And taste a tigers JOY. But all alone
To feel the sluggish spirit oozing out,
Till coward clay be left, which whines
and begs
But yet a little more to live. Who is
it, hard as stone,
Who looks into the hollow eyes of

He neither whines nor begs, but rubs
and chafes his ironed legs.
The Provost muttering, grim and
hoarse,
"Hell will be full of women, when such
men are scarce.
They cast a look from eye to eye aside
From that new grave, so deep and
gaping wide;
The Captain turns away his head
And cannot look on him who will be
dead,
And everyone seems cowardly to shrink
Save him on whom the polished irons
clink.

The Supreme Court Affirms
the Smith Case.

We desire t. tender GU most hearty
congratulations to the two members
O: the Supreme Court OF Mississippi
who are responsible for the affirmation
Of The caSe Of the state VS. G.. r.
Smith Of L0wndes county charged
with the murder Of E. A. Laurent at
a rtesia in January, last. Were the
rule to obtain, as we understand was
laid down by Chief Justice Whitfield
10 his dissenting opinion, that al
though the defendant was sane about
directing his business affairs yet he
VAS seized with an Irresistible i'm
pulse" and killed Laurent without ac
tually knowing the gravity OF his deed,
almost every homicide could be excused.
The truth u.s., every man acts a fool. to
a greater or less degree, when he gets
angry. Whom thegods would destroy
they first make m 3D." La our judy
ment, if punishment was more certain
and terrible. the Irresistible i'm
pulse wOul seize far fewer men.
In ~glancing over the opinion read
by the court another matter is called
to our mind that has often presented
itself before: That is, that lawyers
do not consider what a small part in.
structions play with the average jury
In reaching a verdict. Voluminons IN
strUctiong afford a splendid access to
reversals but much time and energy
are wasted on them before juries.
The Smith affirmation vindicates
tie law and is another step towards
stopping homicides in Mississippi.

Words of Wisdom in CONNER

From a splendidly written editorial
in last Sundays Commercial Appeal
under the caption "A J~ustitiabie?

There is an element Of moral IT,
Il nt sAdfts underlying almost every tray
-edy. A man, not blood-thirSty by ma
ture but exceedingly sensitive, is fear
full that if he lets d remark OF doubtful
meaning pass without a challenge, or
il he permits his adversary to get an
even break" in a controversy. if he
leaves a disputed question unsettled or
settled against himself, that he will
be marked down in the community as
a Weakling.
This man miStruSts himself and
sometimes ANONYMOUSLY acts the bull
ly in order to overcome the fear that
he has in his heart that he may not
be accounted among the truly Grave.
Ii you meet a man and he begins to
swear, you generally begin to swear.
Ii you by chance meet a mar and he
begins a discussion with a threat. you.
in turn, feel that you must answer
with another threat.
II you do these things you are less
| brave than il you turned away The
| wrath of the adversary by y soft word
We have not yet reached the point OF
| oracticing the doctrine Of nOn-reSlSt-
ance, but we ought to be up to the
| point uf practlciHg the doctrine or
| common sense and Christian forbear-
ance on all occasions
The country is advancing when such
great newspapers a the Commercial
Appeal bravely %enunciate the doc
tr,ne above quoted. 1t is a fact that
men are oftent.mes coerced into an act
of what is termed bravery by the
fear of being called a coward. 1t fire.
Quently takes a drawer mar to avoid {
| difficulty than it does to engage IN
ore. 1t people would think as .%seriousl!
before as after these deplorabae trag
edieS, so much OF the history OF GU

written in blood and there would bt
many, many, less homes and familie
to weep over dead ones and the com
