MISTER BLAINE.
In what might, under the circum-
stances, be the language of great auc-
tioneer and a good man,

In what might, under the circum-
stances, be the language of great auc
tioneer and good man,
Mr.. Blaine
Has come again.
Mr.. Blaine is from Maine, and Speaker
of body of men who assemble in a
marble hall in Washington, and once
correctly designated the House of Rep
resentatives. Once it really was house
composed of men sent to Washington by
the people, and not by the bayonet.
This Mr.. Blaine, all the way from the
State of Maine, came down from the
Speakers chair at the last session of the
Congress, and took one Ben Butler
through a course of young hickories. In
language still more expressive, he
foored that arrogant, principleless
man. Mr.. Blaine, from the State of
Maine, gave the people pleasure by this
flooring operation. Mr.. Blaine, from
the State of Maine, pulled up and swol-
len by the ecldt that just piece of
pugilism gave him, has undertaken to
floor the Democratic party. Full OF
Congress water and other liquids
common at Saratoga, he made, the other
night, a speech to some serenaders, and
in a manner he deemed summary and
effectual, disposed of the Democratic
party. The rabble were delighted, and
Mr.. Blaine was delighted. The account
we have of the speech informs us lin
parenthesis) that he made sensation.
How did Mr.. Blaine dispose of the Dem
ocratic party2 Why, by just saying, in
effect, that he doubted the sincerity of
the men who made the departure.
He would continue to doubt until he saw
fruits of sincerity. Well, now, that is a
pretty hard blow at the party, but we
may yet teach our slayer that we will
not die in that sort Of style. If the
heavy immovables' and the light " de-
parturists" will put their heads to-
gether, and not their swords into each |
Others hearts, we can dispose of all
such avant couriers of death as Mister
Blaine, from the lumber State of Maine.
Come, now, let us all quit this intestine
strife and fall into line, and let all ele-
ments Of discord take their departure to
the place where discord is the order of
the long night of hell

FRAxkFoRr, KY, August l7.-At half

little daughter of Mr.. Berry was in the
act of bidding her mother good night,
she struck her hand against an oil lamp,
upsetting it, and causing an explosion.
Mr.. Berry, who was in the next room,
ran in and found his wife wrapt in
flames. He succeeded in putting out
the fire, but not until Mrs. Berry was
seriously burned. He did not know
that his daughter was burned until he
heard her cries in the yard entreating
the servants to save her as she was burn
ing to death. Mr.. Berry ran to her
rescue, but it was too late, as she was so
badly burned that she died in three
hours afterward. Mr.. Berry's hands
and arms we're severely burned.

The Captive Chieis-safanta'sP Plea

On the occasion of the sentence of the

at Jacksboro, Texas, a few days ago,
Satanic, one of the prisoners, in reply
to the charge of murder and sentence Of

follows:

After making the foregoing remarks,
and being informed, through the inter.
prefer, that the decree Of the court stood
unaltered, and being informed that they
would be hung on the first Friday OF
September next, they both arose and ex.
pressed a wish TO be executed imme-

ment, and we're not afraid TO die.

During the violent storm last evening
the lightning struck a frame house at
the corner Of Madison and Wellington

down through the house, in and out Of

DEATH OF MRS. vAILANDIGHAM.

Not many weeks have passed since the
great soul of G. l.. Vallandigham left
the earth. His noble wife, unequal to
the great sorrow that fell upon her, has
followed. The Cincinnati Enquirer says
when she received the tidings of her
idolized husbands death, while standing
beside the coffin Of n beloved brother,
although partially paralyzed by the
shock, the strong yearnings of her love
lifted her above the effects of physical
and mental prostration, and gave her
strength to perform the long and weary
journey to her desolated home in Day
ton in time to view the inanimate body
Of the husband of her choice before it
was consigned to its honored resting
place in the soil his own Ohio, the State
of his nativity, the Commonwealth of his
love and the scene of his social and po-
litical joys and sorrows, trials and tri-
jumps. For some weeks after her hus-
bands funeral, Mrs. Vallandgham was
confined to her bed by prostration, SUI
perinduced by the terrible calamity that
had torn her heart-strings asunder, and
shattered the already exhausted physi-
cal strength of an originally feeble and
delicate organization. As soon as she
had rallied little upon the advice of a
physician, she started on a trip to the
home of her childhood in Maryland in
the vain hope that change of air and
scene would result in a change for the
better. How vain that hope was the
disnatches from Cumberland show.

M. R. RAILROAD.

We suppose the people of the city are
making up their minds as to what they
shall do on Saturday in regard to sub
scribing two hundred thousand dollars
in bonds to the Mississippi River Rail
road Company. They know their inter
ests best, and will act wisely when they
go to the polls. Our own opinion is that
we cannot have too many avenues to
the city. We want population, pro-
ducers, and those who push forward the
subsection of rich forests to agriculture.
Memphis will never become populous
until the country tributary to it becomes
populous. Producers are wanted and
must be had before products can be
handled by the merchants. Railroads
penetrating rich lands, or any descrip-
tions of lands, bring them into market
and transfer them from the hands Of the
great proprietors to those Of the pro-
ducers. This proposed road up the
Mississippi river will run through the
finest country in West Tennessee. 1t is
sparsely populated, but under the stimu-
lus of railroad that would bring people
to this city in a few hours, with their
productions, its settlement would be
rapid. We had better vote for the sub
scription if we want the road We ask
the people of the city to make this ques
ton a subject of interest and act ac
cordingly. Let men bring to the deter
mination of it the same reflection, anC
make the same decision they woulC
make in matter of private interest.

KENTUCKY ELECTION.

The Louisville Ledger of Monday,
August l4th, has returns from ninety
two counties. Leslie's vote is ll3,439;
Harlan's, 1914. Leslie's majority,
1896. The counties yet to be heard
from gave Seymour 1920 votes. As
Leslie has run ahead of Seymour thus
far, it is safe, the Ledger thinks, to as
sumo that Leslie will get, in the coun-
ties to be heard from, at least Seymour s
vote, which will bring Leslie's vote up
to l24,l94. Leslie has polled about
10000 more votes than any candidate
ever received; and his majority is esti-
mated by the Ledger at about 10000.
The Radical vote, discounting repeaters,
will be about half negro.

pEATH on R. R. PITTMAN.

The death of r. r. Pittman is another
link shivered from the chain Of the old
citizenship OF Memphis. There was
something in the character Of this man
that attracted general attention. Per
haps his predominant trait was frank
ness. He always spoke right out what
he thought and felt Addicted to bust
ness habits as he had been for many
years, he lost nothisg of the original
feeling that regards man as a brother to
be helped, and not as a victim
to be plucked, picked and turned
loose naked, hungry and shivering in
the world. With a disposition kind,
and with manners afable, he was not
demonstrative, and least Of all syco-
phantic. He was of a class of men
that, while they make business the main
object Of existence, do not forget the

amenities of life by placing society I'M
der the ban. The great outside world
knew little of him, because he never en-
tered its throngs nor mixed with its up
roar. OF the ambition which pushes
men to the front to take a questionable
lead in public affairs, he was guiltless.
AS husband ard father we do not know
that fault was ever imputed to him.
In the circle of his family was his heart.
We knew him intimately was his
friend, and write these lines with sad
heart and a trembling hand.

Legality Of sunday Marriages.

In New York the question of the le-
gality of Sunday marriages is exciting
considerable attention in legal as well
as clerical minds. There seems to be
about an equal division of both parties
in this important matter. 1t is held
that as marriage is legal civil contract,
and that legal civil contracts are illegal
if made on the Sabbath, it is void if per-
formed on this day. An interesting test
case is now pending in Rochester, N. 7.
A millionaire died there recently, and
willed all his property to the children of
his second wife, disinheriting two of his
own children. The marriage was per-
formed on Sunday. 1t is not clear how
this will invalidate the will should the
decision be against Sunday marriages,
but some lawyers believe that in such a
case the will could and would be broken.
If the court decides that marriages are
invalid if performed on that day, no
doubt more interesting and pointed cases
will arise. Lawyers will grow fat on
contested rights of property, while in
ordinary divorce they could not pay
their rent. But no decent court will de-
eide against the legality Of pure mar
rage.

Help for the Nervous.-Where is it to be
found? cries the trembling victim of nervous
debility. Not in the tavern dram; that fires
up the circulation for moment, and is sue
ceeded by collapse. Not in purgative pills, or
a Lenten diet, but in an invigorant and re-
storative in which the tonic elements are
united with gentle aperient and alternative
properties. When Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
was introduced noarly twenty years ago, this
important object was first attained. This
peaceful and active vegetable specific is as
Justly celebrated for its cures of nervous dis
eases. as for the absolute certainty with which
it relieves dyspepsia and biliousness. The hot
weather toward the close of summer generally
aggravates diseases of nervous type. creating
a degree of feebleness which is beyond mea-
sure distressing. Under such circumstances
rally the bodily energies with n course Of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. OF all tonics, it is
the most satisfactory in its operations, and
the least exciting. 1t braces the nerves up to
their natural tension. but not beyond it, SO
there is no reaction. 1t has other properties,
however. than those of a nervine, and as a
blood depurent and moderate aperient is SUI
perior to any other medicine of the day.
Fraud, however. is on the alert. The celeb
rity Of the original medicine has given rise to
scores eff counterfets and limitations. Exam
inc the label, and the fac smile Of the sigma
ture of the firm; see that the spelling is all
correct, and thus make sure of the genuine
ness of the article you buy. P.S.-Hostetter' s
Bitters are never sold in kegs or barrels, but
in bottles only.
