Warehouses; visited him ut his room, and
had talk with him. One gentleman asked
him what he thought of Grant and his adj
ministruton; and the reply was that the
President was smart enough to take care OF
himself. His Cabinet, while none OF the
best, was Just such a one rs Grant needed,
and WAS better for his purposes than one OF
more talent would be. 1t was not designed
TO make the Administration brilliant one,
and Grants ambition WAS To make 1t an

THE CANVASS IN TENNEssEE-SrEECHES
~ STOKES AND SENTEE.-N0>hrille, June D.
The @uhcrnltorial campaign waSNlgorously
opened to-day. Stokes made I speech ut the
capitol. Nearly two thousand people were
present. On the question OF franchise
Stokes took the same position Is i'll speeches
heretofore and in Il letter last January-Whcn
the killing Of Union men ceases, when the
kukluN organization is diSbanded, and
when the laws were observed, he would be
willing TO entertain proposition TO amend
the State constitution and admit the dis
franchiscd gradually TO the ballot-boN. He
wanted it arranged to let i'll Well-dl>poscd
cX-rcbelS and keep out bad ones. He dId
not believe in letting in outlaws at one fell
SWoop.
lie said to the disfranchiscd I" If you
are pcaceable, and 90 quietly on in the dis
charge Of your duties, such feelings OF SYM
pathy will be aroused that all restrictions
will be removed from you"
Governor Sentcr spoke, after Stokes had
spoken, for two hours. He said that the
franchise question was the most important
question which ever presented itself to the
people Of Tennessee.
He came out strongly in favor Of universal
suffrage, and said if elected Governor he
would recommend the Legislature to call Il
of the people to remove disablll-
ties from the now DISTINGUISHED.
If it was good to entranchise gradually,
why not come out and do the business?
The issue is clear and defined between the
Stokes is for slow cnfranchisc-
mcnt, which means nothing. Sentcr is for
the disabilities and admitting to
the ballot at once.
stokes responded, and Senter again re-
piled. EXAMINATIONS and determinations were
INDUCED III by both.
The greatest enthusiasm prevails IN the
city among the Conservatives and ex-rebeis
over the position taken by Sentcr.
Moderate Republicans arc coming over to
Srntcr. The Conservatives are all with
him. Both candidates declare they will
tight the campaign through to. the bitter

A Quick MARRIAGE AND SHORT HONEY
HooN.-The st. Louis Democrat states that
few days ago widower from Memphis
took rooms in a fashionable clearinghouse
IN that city. He was man Of pleasing APP
pearancc and winning ways. He told the
landlady that he had many troubles trying
to keep house and raise two children with
out partner. The lady gave him all her
sympathy. and recommended n wife. The
widowcr thought the lady's daughter mani
tested all the qualities he could desire, and
he was allowed an interview. In half an
hour the Young lady consented to become 4
mother to the two sweet babes. a priest
was sent for, the marriage ceremony was
performed, and the very happy couple
crossed the river to come to this city on the
cars, but unfortunately too late for them to
take the early train, and they were under
the disagrccablc necessity Of remaining over
night in East st. Louis. They took a room
at the Sherman House, and remained all
night. Next morning. after breakfast, the
husband came suddenly into the presence OF
his bride, holding in his hand 4 Geographic
dispatch, which he handed to her, requiring
his Immediate presence in Hannibal, No,
where business Of Importance awaited him.
OF course there was no alternative but that
Of leaving his new-made bride. So he
handed her tho snug little sum Of five hum
dred dollars in shining gold, and telling her
to 20 to her mother and remain with her
till his return-whch would be very short
timc-left her in tears, but full Of faith in
his truth and worth. The five hundred dol
lars showed he was all right-thcre was no
getting around that, she thought; but, alas ,
it proved to be counterfeit. The lady thinks
"there is some mistake" about it, and,
says the st. Louis paper, has now been
waiting several days for the return Of her
husband, without a word from him; and
while her friends are Of the opinion that he
will never return, and that she has been
imposed upon by villain, she lives in hope
that he will come back to her and make her
happy.

AN IMPORTANT CHEMICAL DISCOVERY
"N. s." is enthusiastic over n chemical dis
coycry recently made. and which, he asserts,
has been thoroughly tested in the person Of
a well-known chemist at the Seamcn'S Re-
treat, Staten Island. The discovery is GER
tainly important if it is what "Y. S." claims.
Reduced to the fewest possible words, the
"diScovery" consists in so concentrating
the nutritious properties Of vegetable and
animal matter that one pound is quite sutli-
cicnt to nourish-and even increase his
Strcngh-a healthy man for two weeks.
That Is, about one ounce OF this highly
concentrated food is sufficient to sustain
Il man Of average capacity for twcntv-f0ur
hours. Professor Schulz, it is asserted
by "N. S." was given one pound of the new
food, and here is what is said of him and
it: "He remained during two full weeks,
and under the stricteSt watchfulncsss, 1t
the Retreat. He was placed in Il room Spe-
cially prepared at the hospital, provided
only with one pound of the compound food,
and at the expiration of the time came
forth as fresh, hearty, and healthy, in
body and mind, as if he had passed his
fortnight enjoying the luHuries of Del
monico's Kitchen" If, indeed, this food
is what this enthusiastic writer declares, it
will prove a discovery of incstmable value
to the world. Armies will no longer be
found to remain idle ut enormous expense
waiting for the quartcrmastcr's trains "to
come up" nor will foreigners or marines on
the seas, shipwreckcd or detained by adj
verse winds, he in danger of starvation. If
the new food preparation is Of real value
the world will not longbe kept in ignorance
of its cxistcncc.-NcaO York Herald.

Somnambulism is very dangerous atlcc-
ton, which it has hitherto been found eX-
tremely difficult to cure. Professor Pelliz-
zrri, of Florence, seems to have hit upon a
successful as well rs Il curious plan, which
simply consists in winding once or twice
round ones leg on going to bed thin,
flexible copper wire long enough to reach
the floor. Eighteen somnambulists treated
in this way have been either radically cured
or temporarily weaned from their untortu-
nate intirmity. The Gazetta Ned1cd,. OF
Venice, which reports the fact, says that
copper wire is known to dissipate magnetic
somnambulism, and that this circumstance
led the Professor to have recourse to this
