On the 10th day Of April, 1928,
Gov. Houston, formally resigned the
Office Of Gov. Of Tennessee. and ab-
;ured the State. Assuming the garb
of an Indian, he departed for the re-
mote scenes Of Arkansas, and reso!-
we'd to spend his days in perpetual!
exile. His letter of resignation To
Mr.. Speaker Call. is one Of the most
beautiful productions OF the kind now
in existence. AT the time he resign
ed the robes Of Office, he had but just
been married TO a beautiful woman.
one Of the most respectable ladies OF
Tennessee. They had not been mar
ried but few days. or weeks at
least. before the lady repudiated her
allegiance 10 her lord, and claimed
the protection Of her parents. Tie
causes that led o<hc separation have
never been unraveled to the world
and in all probability will perish with

consequence of these contracts. he
was charged with fraud and pccuia-

member Of Congress- from OHIO. AS
soon as they reached the ears OF
Houston, he made his appearance IN
Washington, and taking the law IN

breach Of the privilege he was ar
rested, and reprimanded at the Bar
Of the House, and another shade OF
darkness was added to his character.
Although few could justify thccourse

berry. lie had most justly merited
all he received: but for all this, from
the moment Of the outrage until the
commencement Of the Texan war.
Houston was looked on by the Amer
lean people, as n base. and lost man.
In 1883. he commenced the practice
Of the law in Natchez; but soon aban-
doned that place for Texas. 1t Is
most probable that he had in view
the conquest of that country, the mo-
ment he entered it. The rest need
not be told.
Gen. Houston is now about forty
two years Of age. He is man OF
impetuous temperament. but always
finn and ardent and sincere m his
friendship.
S.ammering is declared durable by
the use Of the Deomoglottatyte. We
believe it. II any person with an
impeachment in his speech can pro-
nounce the above word three times
running, we will be bound 70 say he
will never want the use ofiiis tongue
again. After all, there IS no remedy
equal to old Thcliwalls;-put a hot
potatoe into the patients mouth. and
he'll speak quite PLAIN enough.
