POETRY AND KEROSENE.

Colonel Gordon, senator for a spell
from Mississippi, made a very excellent
farewell speech of the old school style
Swhen he took leave of the senate the
other day. He pleaded for a nation wide
patriotism and had a word Of lavish
praise for all parties, factions and
cobals. Indeed it was a kindly old
mans opportunity TO part in tender
sympathy and kindness from his peers.
The fountains of sentiment were OPP
ened and played in the sunshine Of
tenderness. Colonel Gordon was pow
erfuI glad he had been in the senate
1t is the ambition of every fiery south
ern heart to lead armies or shine in
the forum-and he was powerful sorry
he couldn't stay longer. If any human
being of American blood or blood con-
nection from Hepburn to Aldrich ever
came into Mississippi he was invited
to light down and sit on the coloners
front porch along in mint time.
Even the niggeh was EMBODIED in

bored man, sir. The warm palpitating
pit of the sunny southland homes for
