What is said of the Maxwell House
Proprietor.

IEOPtAGSOAs
In a late number of the Huntsville
Democrat we find the following;
MICHAEL, KEAN, OF THE MAXWELL HOUSE,
NASHVILLE, TENN.
An incident in the life of this prince of
hotel keepers was mentioned on Saturday
night last on the cars by Judge Wyeth, of
Marshall county, on his return from Jack
son Court. 1t will be recollected by many
of our citizens that the severe famine in
1866 induced the Judge to visit Huntsville,
Nashville and Louisville to solicit aid for
the starving poor. Arrived at Louisville,
he published brief address to the citizens
| of that place and, while he awaited the re-
suit, with the utmost anxiety--standing in
the reception hall of the Louisville
Hotel" a stranger to every one-a gen.
| tleman approached him and said: Are
you the gentleman from North Alabama,
asking food for those poor people?" ''Yes,
| sir, l am" ''Well, sir, read your appeal
to our citizens, this morning,-your peo-
| pie shall not arve,-God has given US an
| abundance and they shall have enough to
keep them alive. As soon as l read your
appeal, l ordered hundred of my best
sugar-cured hams to be packed up for you,
and they will be sent off to-day-and now
sir, stay here as long as you please on this
business and it shall not cost you a cent. "
After that, said the Judge, saw him no
more-but l found out that it was Michael
Kean, of the Louisville Hotel, and never
think of that trip-or of Louisville-with-
out remembering that great charity, and
saying in my heart, ''God bless Michael
| Kean!"
The public should know a man, whose
heart is so moved by melting charity as
Michael Kean's and we cheerfully chron-
icle the above incident, that he may be
appreciated at his high worth. He, now,
conducts both the Maxwell House and the
! Louisville Hotel.

ImmigratiOn- Five Thousand Acres
of Land TO be Purchased.

In the course of two or three weeks a
committee of the Buffalo IN. " German
Emigration Society will be here to prospect
for lands, and eventually buy large tract,
say from forty to fifty thousand acres con-
veniently situated for market purposes and
to be had at reasonable rates. 1t would
considerably facilitate their business, if
land owners, wishing to sell, would confer
with the proprietors of the Nashville Demo
krat, and communicate to them what they
have to sell, ETC., SO that the gentlemen
from Buffalo may, at their arrival here, find
directions in readiness for them. Said So
ciety is in possession of ample means to
purchase lands, and expend besides about
$50, 900 for erection of churches, school
houses and other public buildings.

Crop Prospects in EngIand-The Eu-

The Mark Lane Express of April IL,
says;
Although the cold influence of March
was still felt at the opening of the week,
this gave place, under a change of wind, to
brilliant sunshine and a much higher
temperature. The nights, however, have
been mostly cold, and vegetation, for the
want of warm rain, still looks very back
ward. 1t has, however, been all that could
be desired for the completion of sowing
the Lent corn, and a large breadth has now
been got in, together with much potato
planting, so that the seasonable showers al
ready promise complete alteration in the
face of the country. No practical man
seems to apprehend any harm from the
lateness. complained of, either to the corn
or fruit, but in France the dry weather has
affected the price of oats. Still one days
heavy Tain would set all matters straight,
and as we have not yet got half through
April, who can doubt that this viii come?
The change already experienced has taken
off the upward bearing of the wheat trade,
and most markets have reported more dull
ness, or some even decline of Is But
there IS nothing to justify any sweeping re-
duction of the low rates now ruling. Ship
menus on their way are light, compared
with our necessities, the granaries have
had steady draught upon their stores,
and though the opening of the Baltic may
produce some fears, prices there are too
near our own, and stocks not so over
abundant as to force liberal shipments. If
