We copy the following com
plimentary notice of Drs.
Rembert & Mason, from the
Americus Republican, of the
28th ult:
These young gentlemen who
came to our city a few months
ago and formed a copartner
ship for the purpose of prac
ticing the Dental profession
and permanently locating
here, are,we are glad to note,
succeeding admirably, and
their rooms are now visited
daily by patients who find
them to be all that they claim
for themselves. Their rooms
are neatly fitted up and they
have the latest and most im
proved instruments known to
the profession. Messrs. Rem
bert & Mason are gaining
hosts of friends, and we con
sider them quite a valuable
acquisition, both to our busi
ness and social community.
A correspondent of the
Port Gibson Standard says of
the speaking at Vaughn old
field of the 27th August:
The procession l hen formed
around the speaker’s stand,
and the ‘old wheel-horse’ of
Copiah county,Col Ben King,
was introduced to the audi
ence In Dr. Whi Myles, pres
ident of the meeting. The
Colonel made an able argu
ment against the corrupt par
ty in newer. He dealt in facts
and figures, and showed how
that in 1808 the taxes in Co
piah were only $3 35 per
$1,000, and that now they
were over ten times that am
ount. He said that he didn’t
say that the Democrats wo’ld
necessarily all be honest.—
There might be smnebad men
among them,but the Radicals
were all bad. It reminded
him of his old friend, M.
Kaufman, of Port Gibson.—
Kaufman once reviewed some
account sales of his cotton
shipped to his commission
merchant in New Orleans,
and was cursing and damn
ing the commission man,say
ing that he had cheated, when
a customer who overheard K,
said to him: ‘Kauf, you need
not talk so; you merchants
all steal.’ ‘I know that,’ said
Kaufman, ‘bur we steal a lit
tle at a time, but the d
commission meroha its \faritf-'
ed to steal it all at once.’

A Cheer from Panola.
Lain Graves writes as follows
fiom Bates vi Me on flie 2d. It
would do our friend good to
attend a gathering of the tar
heels in his native comity,
and hear ‘Old Ben’ go for the
cormorants. Lnm writes:
Though I have strayed a
way off from rav native conn
ty, Copiah, my heart is ever
with her and the good people
who live there. I am never
happier than when I hear
that old Copiah is all right,
and will surely come out with
flying colors on the 2d day of
November. Then I will say,
Hurrah, for Ben King, Col.
Vance, The Copiahnu, and
the free State of Copiah.
I am glad to say that the
people of my adopted county,
Panola, are at last aroused to
their duty and are determin
ed to free themselves from
the degraded set of carpet
baggers who now hold the of
fices and squander the peo
ple’s money. Our Chalmers,
our Bob Taylor,our Hall,and
other speakers, are stirring
the people up with long poles.
We are bound to will in this
election.
The crops in Panola were
never better; the wheat which
has all been thrashed, is in
deed tine; corn is magnificent,
cotton is far better than I ev
er saw it any where before. I
heard an old farmer say a few
(lays ago that the crop in
Panola county is far better
than it has been in 10 years.
Now Col.—After telling you
that our crops are splendid,
and our chances to beat the
darned Radicals this fall al
most as good as we would
have it, don’t you say hurrah
• for Panola? [Yes, Lum, we
do, with all our heart.] My
regards to all the democratic
creation of Copiah. Yours,
as a long time ago,
Lum Graves.

WAY*»IDE NOTES.
Dear Copiah an:—Some of
uiy letters, no doubt, will not
be received nirtil the writer
refiches home, as we travel
now-a-days at lightning speed
but we think this will not
detract from their real inter
est if they had any before.
Our last letter left ns at
Chataqua Lake. The hotels
wero .ao crowded that we
were forced to occupy the
sleeping car, which had been
kindly left over for our ac
ccmmodation; so much the
better, as our fare was cheap
er. One of the greatest epi
sodes „of the 19th century oc
curred at this place only a
few days before our arrival.
General Grant, in the pres
ence of 25,000 persons, had
a Bible presented to him.
His eyes overflowing with
tears alid his voice trembling
with emotion, the gift was
received. We only’hope that
he will read it every time he
smokes, and our President
will become one of our pro
foundest Biblical scholars.
Our party' was joined here
by Mrs. Starr, correspondent
of the Cleveland Plaindealer,
who traveled with us as far
as the Fall's.
She had heard that the
Mississippi excursionists were
rough, uncouth, illiterate,
and almost as dangerous as
some of Sheridan’js banditti,
and a discreet person advised
her not to accompany such a
band of-dangerous persons.
But how surprised when she
found that we were a civil
ized and hospitable people.
Mrs. Starr is a most accom
plished and intelligent lady,
and we believe if she could
only travel South, as wo have
North, she would be divested
of many of those bitter prej
udices which continually fan
the fires of discord and en
gender fcelingsof enmity and
hatred, where there should
be harmony’ and peac3 be
tween the two great sections.
The Plaindealer has loen
hostile towards the South,
bnt we think the time is not
far distant when, through
the influence of these social
re-unions, the Nmth will be
come better acquainted with
theSouth, and the Smith with
the North, softening down
past asperities and strength
ening the bonds of fellow
ship. Excuse our digression
as we must say something
about Niagara.
We arrived at Niagara, a
village of about 4,000 about
8 o’clock at night, and found
the International a lino ho
tel. There are several large
hotels here and *hey are all
crowded. There wore 600
arrivals during one day at
the different hotels. When
yon see Niagara you must ex
pect to open your purse. The
hack drivers swindle j ou, ymi
must haul out your fin every
hundred yards at the numer
ous toll bridges, while every
curiosity shop endeavors to
grind the last cent out of
you. Not as fort unate as the
Yankee who went to Niaga
ra and wrote the following:
. i:I have couie to see Niagara Tails
Spread out in all their glorious
beautv;
And 1 have come to see them with
, out
iVd——d cent of money.”
The inosTSTO^ l^\ye
powers can give oulSfi^**™*
idea of the Falls. Poefsliav'e*
stretched their imiginative
powers to the broadest ex
panse, but their efforts have
proved puerile and insignifi
cant. The Falls are so gi
gantic in their proportions
that it cannot be taken in at
first sight. TLo magnitude
is so great that in order to
estimate it it must be com
pared with other objects.
From the hotel on the Cana
da side you get a very fine
view. As the waters pour
dovn from the height of 165
feet, dashiug against some
bage'boulder, boiling and fil
ming like milk, thundering
and rolling on in its madden
ed fury, you become amazed
at the grandeur and wonders
of creation, and, as the Psal
mist says, can exclaim: 4tOh
Lord, how manifold are thy
works! in thy wisdom thou
hast made them all.”
To give a minute descrip
tion of all the objects of in
terest, would occupy toomuch
space. The nave of the winds
is full of romantic interest
and grandeur. As you look
down at the spray below, the
largest persons look like dolls,
and yout head swims. You

railroad to the very foot of

gentleman and
i went over the
; place, and were
! ried down to the
rapids, where their corpses
were recovered. Most of the
bodies lost are taken out at
j this place. They say the fa
ces of the dead present a
j strange appearance as they
gvrate around the terrible
whirl pool—their cadaverous
faces rising and then disap
pearing. The whirlpool rap
ids is a terrible looking place.
You are let down to the
depth of 200 feet in an eleva
tor to the very verge of the
foamixg waters. The prieo
for making the descent is
fifty cents, but the proprie
tor kindly furnished us a free
lide. We feel truly thank
ful as we would have hated
to have had our necks crack
ed, and lost fifty cents in the
bargain. The next objects
which command attention
are the suspension bridges.
They are models of architec
tural beauty, and cost half a
million of dollars. From
the towers on the bridges you
have a magnificent view.
While we were driving over
the Falls on the bridge* in a
carriage, the cars were steam
ing over our heads. The
bridge is 1200 feet long, and
fully 200 feet to the water.
Niagara has wonders worth
seeing, but we niustbid them
adieu, and hasten to Lock
port, N. J., where wo met
with the finest reception on
the whole route. At the de
pot the excursionists wore
cord ial 1 v met, where the finest
carriages were in readiness
to take the party around the
city. Alter a drive an exhi
bition was made of the Hol
ly water works, where a
stream of water as large as
your arm was thrown to the
height of 200 feet. We nev
er saw such a flood of water
poured out in such a short
time before.
All were then invited to
tlie .Tndson House where the
parlors were thrown open
and speeches made by Hon.
T. J. Flagler, member of
Congress, M. C. Richardson
of the Lockport Journal,
under whom Col. Power once
served as an apprentice. Al
so speeches were made by
Colonels Falconer and Sulli
van, all of which breathed
sentiments of reconciliation
and friendship betweoD the
North and South. A splen
did repast was then t'urnislfSIS
at the hotel, and the brass
band serenaded the party.
Lockport takes its name from
the numerons locks establish
ed here on the Erie canal,
where we had a free ride.

BROTHER STACKHOUSE
MAKES A SPEECH.
From Courier- Journal.]
When the Mississippi edi
torial excursionists arrived at
Buffalo, 9 o’clock,Friday eve
ning, August 21, a party of
six, in their trail after the el
ephant, wended their way to
the Varieties Theatre. The
perfoniianees wore nearly
over when these six were con
spieuously and cosily seated
in their parquette. When
the lastcurtaiu fell, the man
ager stepped to the front of
.GentlkSHen
[w, not a
ve in onr
a number of distingui
shed tisitors, the exponents
of pnmfc sdmmietit in a sis
ter Sttto-—the editorial fra
ternity of Mississippi. Sev
eral of them have honored
us with their presence in this
theatre to-night, and aVenow
among the auditors. I hope
yon will all heartily join me
in response to the toast:—
“Three cheors for the Missis
sippi editors.”
Than followed such a clap
ping of bauds among the la
dies and such steutorian ex
ercise of mascular lungs as
: was nr ve»* before witnessed in
that theatre.
Who would respond to this
spontaneous and handsome
manifestation? Somebody
had to do it. It was one of
those occasions wh* aspeech
must bo made. f iere was
only six of them. The repu
tation of Mississ pi was at
stake. The situation was
painfully critical '« the ad
venturous six. At length
one of them said sotto voce,
“Stackhouse, you haven’t
made a speech since yon left
home- not even to the girls.
You haven’t spoken three
words on the entire trip.—
You have drunk in more
than your share oi pleasure,
and you have not contribu
ted your share to the. com
mon fund of enjoyment.—
Now is your chance for re
demption. I know it is in
you. Speak!”
Slowly and majestically
Mr. «S. II. Stackhouse, of the
Hazlehurs* Copiahan, rose to
his feet, and when he had fin
ished. straightening himself
up, ho looked a foot taller
than usual. And thus ho
spoke:
Mr. Manager and Ladies
and Gentlemen of Buffalo—
“Take the stage! Take the
stage!” was the refrain which
echoed and re echoed thro’
ontthe vast auditorium.—
The orator ascended the
stage, and advancing to the
‘footlights, he resumed:
Ladies and Gentlemen,and
Fellow-citizens of Buffalo —
our surprise is equalled only
by our gratification at 'his ex
traordinary and unexpected
demonstration. We are
struck dumb, and words are
nowhere in an emergency
like this. You have absolute
ly silenced 11s with kindness,
and 1 will not attempt the
impossible task of clothing
feelings in language.
^There was a pause here as
if the speaker meant to give
it up, but cries of “go ahead!
go ahead! Tell us all you
know!” brought him back to
his mutton.
MR. STACKHOUSE’S ADDRESS.
When the Queen of She
resumed JVIr. Stack
old man Sol

sailed over
We liave heard a great deal
about you. We have read
nmcli concerning you in your
big newspapers, of your thrift
your push, your genions, en
terprise, wealth, progress and
irrcpressibility. Bat now,
since we have traversed a
considerable scope of your
grand domain, we are like
the Queen of Sheba, forced
to acknowledge that half has
not been told ns.
PEACEABLE IKTESPTIONS.
Eellow-citizens of Batlalo,
we assure you that, this inva
sion of ours is altogether
harmless in its object. We
are not spying out the land
with any hostile intent. No,
we are much obliged to the
few bloody-sbirt gentlemen
among yon, who, for some
inscrutable purpose Provi
dence may have in view, are
allowed to live and delay the
year of jubilee in this Amer
ican family, but we have hod
enough of war—rather too
much of it. Our voice is for
peace. (Applause.) We are
jike th3 little dare devil boy
who played around the heel>
of a mule, got badly kicked
and his face frightfully man
gled. He asked his father if
the stars would ever disap
pear from his face again.—
“No, sonny,” replied the sire,
“you will never be pretty
again, but then yon will have
a damn sight more sense.”—
[Laughter and applause.]
KO MORE WAR FOR US.
We are not going into any
more war with you fellows.
If we had known how con
founded numerous von were
*
—what vast resources you
had—what a nation of “git
up and gilters you are—we
should ne^er have been guil
ty of the absurdity of trying
to whip you in the lirst place.
Now that we have seen for
ourselves, and gotten some
sort of an idea of the magni
tude of the job of cleaning
you out, wc consider that
another on our side would be
preposterous and rediculous
and we are for peace.
Yes, fellow-citizens of Buf
falo, we are here in the in
terest ot peace — God-likc
peace. In the glowing lan
guage of the inspired psalm
1st, “Peace hath her victo
ries no less renowned than
war.” We believe in peace.
We are quite ready to be har
monized. And I am glad tobe
able to say that everywhere
wc have been in the North
and West we have met
A CORDIAL WELCOME
and kindly greeting. Nobody
has made faces at 11s. We
hive felt O. K. all the time.
The railroads have deadhead
ed 11s and given us the finest
drawing-room cars to sleep
in. The hotels reduced their
rates, and some of them did
n’t have the heart to charge
us at al 1. We hav c been wel 1
fed at all your eating institu
tions where we have stopped.
In some places they wined
us, rode us out in carriages
and showed ns the sights,
made speeches to us, serena
ded us with brass bands, etc.,
etc. Wc have had just a
splendid time of it. The la
dies (God oless’em always)
have smiled upon us, and the
men havo sometimes gone to
the extont of asking ns to
take a drink. That last is
the capstone to the climax of
reconciliation. (Hear,Hear.)
The true road to a Mississip
pi editor’s heart is to invite
him totake a drinkwitli you.
If that don’t harmonize him
—if tint don’t capture him
—if that don’t bring peace
to the land and save thecoun
try, nothing else on earth
will.
SECTIONAL AMBITIOS.
The people of every section
have some pet element of
.greatness in which they ex
cel all others. Thus you on
thi3 side of the now obsolete
line once drawn by Messrs.
Mason and Dixon can beat
ns on Irish potatoes, but we
can get you down on cotton.
Furthermore every profes
sion has a particular hero
whom the rest can look r.p
to. For example, we have
i with us in this excursion the
champion beer drinker of the
Union. We are proud of him
and we brag on him. We
are not afraid to pit him a
gainst any man m the Norths
or South. He has floored the
last male member of our par
ty, and now openly defies the
world and all Dntchdom in
the matter of beer. The
mayor of Cincinnati had the
temerity to tackle him, but
that daring official fell on
the fifty-seventh charge, leav
ing our knight calm and se
rene, sober as a judge and
still thirsty.
[Voices in- the crowd—
“Where ishef” “Is he beret”
“Trrrt; him out!” “Let him
rise!” “We want to see him!”]
“I am sorry—exceedingly*
sorry,” resumed Mr. Stack
house, “that, he is not here.”
Whenever he goes to a city
for the first time ho consid
ers it his duty to make the
grand round of the beer sa
loons, and to take a urink at
each. He is now engaged in
the performance of that pa
triotic duty. If he should
ever visit your city again he
will be known where the
best beei is kept, am! that
man who keeps the best beer
is to him the cleverest man
and the greatest patriot. II
you want to see him go out
to a beer saloon—any one of
them—and sit down and
wait. He will be cc*rtain *o
come if you will give him a
reasonable time to getaro’nd.
He is a largo hearted man
full of philanthropy, beer
and patriotism, broad, jolly
and wise, illustrating the
truth of the old English phi
losopher, Poney Weller's
axiom, that “vidtli and wis
dom go together.”
A POINTED REFERENCE TO
* ANCIENT HISTORY.
Fellow-citizens of Buffalo,
perhaps I have been digres
sing. Let me come back to
the point. It was Sancho
Panza who once exclaimed:
“Blessed is the man who in
vented sheep.” But there is
an opening now fora greater
genius to rise up in rbe land.
There is a bigger thing than
this invention of sheep to be
worked out; and Isay thrice
b'.ossed is the man who in
vents a tunc that will blend
the harmonies of Dixie with
the harmonies of Yankee
Doodle,and give us onegrand
national hymn of Yankee
Doodle-Dixie. And furth
ermore, fellow-citizens of
Buffalo, I say emphatically,
in reference to the old flag,
with its stars and stripes,
“Long may it wave, over the
land of the free and homo of
the brave.” From this day
forth I am a reconstructed
individual. I believe in uni
sou and fraternity, in the
universal Yankee nation and
in the eternal fitness of things.
God bless you.

A MOTH ER’S JLO VIE,
Asene Houssayo, the brir
Rant French’ novelist nn<f
Paris correspondent of 'fbo
Sew Yo»k Tribune, delates
this incident of the la*o ter
rible floods in the south of
France*
The journals and the tele
grams have told you all about
these misfortunes, but you
know little about the private
tragedies which have melted*
even Paris to tears. M will
tell yoir one story among:
many. A young mother i»
awaked by the inundation.—
£he has two children, twins,,
at the breast, adorable little*
girls. The water invades her
house; it is night and the
hour is full of terror. The*
husband takes care of him
self and mounts on the roof
But the mother thinks only
of her children; she ties them
to her breast with a scarf,an If
as she is about to swim from*
the bouse she thinks that tlio
bread-trough will serve a8 a
boat. The house is tattering
as the mother embarks inher
trail boat. She is scarcely out
of the house when it goe& to
pieces. The husband disap
pears ir. the ruins. The little
boat floats away, but striker
against a tree and is overtur
ned. The poor woman seiz
es a branch and climbs into*
the tree with the strength of
a lioness fighting for her
young. But the tree isyonng
it bends; it will not hold all
three. The mother sees that
the end has come, but her
motherhood is not conquered.
She ties her children to the
strongest branch, kisses them
again and again, she sign*
them with the siguofflfeggfliB1,
and cries “To the mercy of
God!”
The drama was witnessed
by spectators who could do*
nothing in aid until a quar
tei or an hour was gone. The
mother was drow ned but the
children were saved like Mo
ses. They were adopted by
the Sisters of Charity ofCas
telsarrazin. The mother’s fu
neral was an occasion of
mourning in the midst of the
general sorrow. Her face
seemed sanctified by her ac
tion. One of my friends said
to me, “I never saw such
beauty.” Her eyes wore half
closed, her lips slightly open*
her hands crossed above her
breast. There is no specta
cle more divine than that of
maternity in sacrifice.
