Srx,—In this picturesque little viliage of Southern Mississippi, where the cool breezes | of the Mexican Gulf temper the warm rays of | the summer sun, and where the frosts and | snows of winter are almost unknown, there | lives to-day one whose name a generation ago was familiar to the whole civilized world, No name is more prominent in the history of events connected with the civil | war of 1861-5 than that of Jefferson Davis. A graduate of the Military Academy at West Point, and a brave soldier of the Mexican War, he espoused the cause of the Confederacy, and for four yenrs as Presi- dent of the Confederate States, directed their affairs during that sanguipary struggle that ended with the defeat of Lee and fall! o' Richmond. The story that he made) his eseape in female apparel from Rich-

prise. In the northern part of this State it did great injury to the sugar cane. Some of the ‘‘ stories” told of the eccentricities of the weather are rich. A North Mississippi man said that the cold wave swept over the State so quickly that the ponds in the swamps were frozen stiff before the snakes living in them could duck their heads under the water. He further remarked that he amused himself for a whole day by walking on the ponds, and kicking off the heads of the snakes which stuck up out of the ice. Whenever a Mississippian telis a lie, is is generally robust and healthy, aud can walk, but the moment a Georgian hears of it- go great is the rivalry between the two states—he girds up his joins and unloads a ‘‘whopper ” that is so strong, it has ribs and a backbone and breathes. The snake story travelled from one place to another until it struck Georgia, where, for a time, it—to use the language of the priza ring— ‘‘knocked out” everything it met; but finally a noble Georgian invented a mus- cular lie that climbed on the collar of the Mississippi prodigy, and literally pulverized and mashed it into the earth.

The Georgia man said tha: while chasing a fox acroes an abandoned cotton field, his horse and himself fell into an old well seventy feet deep. The fall killed his horse instantly, but he escaped without in- jury, and at once commenced looking around for a way to reach the surface of the ground. To his dismay he discovered that it was impossible for him to get up by climbing the steep walls of earth that shut him in, and he commenced howling for help at the top of his voice, but none came. On the morning of the second day, the stench from the carcass of the horse was stifling, and he had made up his mind to suffer a horrible deach, when he noticed a number of buzzards hovering about the top of the well. JF inally the birds alighted in the well, and a bright idea flashed through his brain, and he determined to make the buzzards bear him up to the ground above.

the Captain's is in charge of a coxswain, who has his own crew, each of whom nas his own place assigned to him eo that there is not the slightest comparison when start- ing. IT say when starting because | only see them working when starti:, and while landing, and there appears to be peffect discipline at all times.

I have been engaged in this work about 40 years, attending to the landing, aiding the boats and crews and passengers in every way that | could, looking after the mails for the PostgOflice Department, and often crossing with the boats,so that my ex- perienco has been very considerable.

I have not one word to say disparagingly in regard to the manner in which the eer- » vice has been heretofore carried om. It was done most faithfully, and often under very trying difficulties, and great respect is due to the men who,with so much heroism,

Mr. M. Schurman, the Inspector of the new Farmers’ Insurance Company, has been travelling in this locality for the past two weeks.

‘‘shoo,” and they flew up, carrying him with them; but they did not stop when they got out of the well, but continued to soar upwards, uutil he was horrified to find he was fifty yards above the surface of the earth. Suddenly, however, it occurred to him to release one buzzard from each hand. This he did, and to his great joy his weight dragged the remaining buzzards slowly down, until he was safely landed on terra firma, when he at once dropped on his knees and returned thanks in prayer.

When the story of the Georgia fox hunter reached the ears of the Mississippi man who launched the cold weather lie, it made him feel go etterly mean and worthless that he sold out and went to Texas. ‘
