FUNERAL OF GEN. K. s. EwELL
Nashville, January 2G.-The fu-
neral of Lieutenant c. neral X. S.
EwelI took place in this city to-day
at Christ Church. 1t was altogether
quiet ana transformations. His re-
mains were buried in the old Gene
terry beside the grave of his wife,
who died only few days before
him.
lie was sick fifteen days with ty-
phoid pneumonia. When told that he
could not survive, he remarked with
the calmness characteristic of him:
II don't want any monument raised
over me; only plain head and foot
stone, like those over the graves of
my father and mother, in Virginia.
Nv rank while in the Confederate
service might be inscribed on one
Of the stones; bnt ! wish nothing in
the inscription which will cast any
reflection upon the Government of
the United States" General Ewoll
had been in the habit. of wearing a
pair of blue infantry pants which he
had purchased subsequent to the
war. Upon one occasion, not long
before his death, and when he could
speak only with the greatest Difficult
ty, he said of them: CATER all my
fighting against the United States,
SO long, it is strange that an old pair
of infantry pants should kill me at
last" He attributed his death to
having put them on during the cold
weather, after having worn a much
thicker pair.

The Columbus Sun says this ::
San old cOuntrymau, in giving his
experience in farming for the Last
few years, remarked to a friend in
town the other day: 81 jined Afri-
ca after the war, but at the end of
two years found myself $3.50 in
debt. The past year dissolved
from Africa and put my children to
work. The result is, l have made
a good living and am nearly out of
debt" Moral--If white folks will
work little more, and trust a little
less to negroes, they will soon find
themselves in the enjoyment of
like happy experience"

Ely, TINE, AND DRUDGERY.

Ely, TIME, AND DRUDGERY.
The fatigue of Washing Day no longer dreaded
but Economy, Efficiency, and clean Clothing
Sure.
In calling public attention to this little ma
chine, few ofthe invaluable qualities, (nOt po-
psssed by any other washing machine yet invsn-
ted } are here enumerated.
1t is the smallest, N ost compact, most portable
most simple in construction, most easily opera
ted. A child ten years old, with few hours
practice can thoroughly comprehend and et-
fectually use it, There is 10 adjusting, 10
screws to annoy, no delay in adapting 1t is
always ready for use Its perfect little won
der 1t is miniature giant, doing more work
and Of better quality, than the most elaborate
and costly. One half of the labor is fully saved
by its use, aud the clothes will last one half
longer than by the old plan of the rub board.
1t will wash the largest blanket. Three skirts
at time, washing thoroughly In word, the
abution Of any fabric. from Quilt to Lace
Curtain or Cambria Handkerchief, are equal
within the capacity of this Little Gem 1t can
be fastened 10 any tub and taken off at will
No matter how deep-rooted a prejudice may
exist against Washing Machines the moment
this little machine is seen 10 perform its wonders
all doubts of its cleansing efficacy and utility are
banshed, and the doubter and detractor at once
become the fast friends of the machine.
We have testimonials without end, setting
forth its numerous advantages over all others,
and from hundreds who have thrown aside tho
unweldy, useless machines which have signally
failed to accomplish the object promised in prom
nent and loud sounding advertisements.
1t is as perfect for washing as wlinger is
for wringing. The price, another paramount
inducrment to purchasers, has been placed SO
low that it is within the reach of every house
keeper, aud there is no article of domestic econ
omy that will repay the small investment SO
soon.

The Mistake of a Lifetime.

MT. Sumner in joining hands with his life.
long adversaries under the promptings OF pique
and anger against President Grant, has made
just such a mistake as Daniel Webster made
when be imagined that his great name and COM
handing abilities would enable him to run
counter TO the public sentiment OF the north.
Webster, though the idol of New England,
found himself deserted and repudiated in
breath. He never regained footing in public
regard and died a disappointed man. Mr.. Sum-
ner can see in this his own inevitable fate. All
his labOred arguments cannot rebut the fact
that the victory Of the Baltimore ticket and
platform will be q victory over every doctrine
and tradition of his political career, and over
the vital deep seated convictions of both his
home and national constituencies. Paradoxical
AZ it may seem Mr.. Summers political salvation
depends upon the election OF Grant and Wilson.
The election of the democratic ticket and the
resulting preponderance of democratic influence
in the counsels of the nation would inevitably
result in such q war upon his cherished tenets
and upon the republican-union sentiment of
the country as must cause his political
suicide beyond q peradyenture. If Mr..
Sumner believes that his letter will in
fiuence the colored vote in any considerable
degree he will undoubtedly find his error. The
colored people have an instinct more unerring
than reason that tells them there is danger in
the pot, for their race, when their old oppressors
have the making of the broth. Mr.. Sumner,
blinded by his dislike to the administration,
may fail to see, but they do not, the kuklux
fangs under the lamb like mask of democratic
liberal republicanism. Mr.. Summers great
name Is not one to charm by when it is used to
them in behalf Of democratic ticket. Obvi-
ously MIR. Summers position to have had any
weight should have been taken earlier in the can
vass, before public opinion had crystalzed. His
letter is to be sure the logical result his course
heretofore, but 1T is too late now to affect results
and simply amounts to his affixing his signature
to his political death warrant.

queer story comes from France to the effect
that that country is preparing for another war
with Germany. A correspondent says there has
been no peace between those two countries
since the fall Of Paris, but only an adjournment
OF hostilities. The government, says the same
correspondent, is making strenuous efforts to
bring the army up to its fullest capacity; there
have been large purchases ofhorses in Hungary,
England and Germany; the workshops for the
manufacture OF artillery and fire arms are in
full blast; Paris is being strengthened by new
lines OF forts; and provisions sufficient to main
tain large army and the citizens for two years
have been brought into the capital. The soldiers
are under constant and severe discipline, and
are kept in camp, away from the demoralizing
influences of large cities, and the morale of the
army Is said to be excellent. Although the con-
dition of France has greatly improved since her
late bout with Germany, it is not probable that
she will be willing or able to cope with the latter
country on the battle field for years to come.
Besides. Prince Bismarck has watchful eve on
his ancient enemy, and would not be likely to be
caught mapping.

Delegates to the national labor party, who
lately held a convention in Columbus, Ohio as
sembled yesterday in New York for conference
on the political situation. A portion of the
session was devoted to the question Of expelling
several recreant members, who, 1t appears, were
appointed to visit Washington for the purpose
OF notifying Messrs. Davis and Parker of their
nomination, but which they failed to do, and at
tempted to traffic with the ether politicians. 1t
Is thought that the result of the conference YES
terday will be the issuing of an address to the
party directing it to support neither Grant nor
Greeiey. After the morning session had ad-
Journed delegates from several of the States,
including Maryland, bolted, and calling an indie
pendent conference, denounced the so-called
labor reformers as tricksters and wire-pullers.
