d H
Go FoR HIM.--Probably the best
abused people IN the world are those
who are known under the cognomen
of mothers-in-law. If q married man
commits q crime against society, 10
matter how heinous, his mother-in-
law Is at once charged with being the
cause. story writers fill up their al
lotted time in this life In depicting
their moral turpitude, ingratitude, and
highly mpietty conduct generally.
And now to cap the climax CONES one
of those halfstaryed, long haired, III
dressed, melancholy looking hombres
styled poets, and puts in his chin mu-
sic to the same tune. He deserves the
direst fate at the hands of some 'sclul'd
false front and spectaelcd" mother-in-
law, and he richly deserves it. He
shoots his mouth off thus:
Ills WIFE,s MOTHER.
He stood on his bead on the wild sea-shoro
And danced on his hands q Jig:
In all his emotions. as never before,
A madly hilarious grlg.
And why? Inthe vessel which left thobay
His mothel>in-law had sailed
To u tropical country some distance away,
Where tigers and serpents prevailed.
H. knew she had gone to recruit her health
And doctor her rnsping cough,
But wagered himself Il nrOfusiOn of wealth
That something would carry her of.
Oh, now he might look for o quiet life,
And even be happy yet,
Though owning no end OF ncurnlgical w8e
And up to his collar In debt.
For she of the specs and curied fillse front,
And black alpaca robe,
Must pick ont d sailor to suffer the brunt
OF her next daily trial Of Job.
He watched while the vessel cut the sea,
And bumpishly uped and downed,
And tho't If already she quaimish could be
He'd consider the edifice crowned.
He'd borne the old lady through thick and
thin,
Till she'd lecturcd him out of breath;
/ And now as he gazed at the ship she was In
He howlcd for her violent death
Till over the azure horizons edge,
The bark had retired from view,
When he leaped to the crest of d chalky
ledge,
And pranced like n kangaroo.
And many q inbilant peal he sent
Der the waves which had made him free
Then cut last eapcr ecstatic, and went
Turning somcrsaults homeward to tea.

THE TRUE ISSUE OF THE HOUR.

The vital issue in the present canvass
for the Presidency is the best means by
which peace can be restored to thecoun-
try-how can the South be liberated
from the military despOtism Of the pres
ent administration? 1t is the paramount
aim of patriots of all sections to rescue it
from the foul grasp of the carpetbaggers,
who, armed with the despotic and un-
constitutional laws of Congress, have
long plundered the Southern people.
Where is the man, be he Liberal Repub-
lican or Democrat, who cannot, for a
time at least, lay aside his politics and
his party prejudices for the sake of assist
ing in the noblest work that has ever
fallen to the lot of man to do? 1t may
be that we do not all get GU first choice
in the nominations at Cincinnati. But
that we cannot expect. No n candi-
date was ever known to be the choice Of
everybody. The question for us to ask
ourselves is not uhO the candidates are,
but what are they going to do. Is the
candidate for President, If elected, going
to continue this military despotism
and the oppression Of the South?
If so, what good man, be he
Republican or Democrat, can support
him? Ii is useless to talk about the ere
turn of peace" and the "r~e-establish-
ment Of good feeling between the differ
ent sections Of the country" and then
vote for a mar who has carried on the
war eight years after peace was officially
declared. 1t Is foolish and altogether
inconsistent for men to whine about
"brotherly love" and "a common cause
in sustaining the great principles Of lib
erty," and then by their actions give
sanction to the armed robbery of their
weak and helpless brethren in the unfor-
tunate Southland. 1t remains for the
Liberal Republicans and Democrats,
and all good men who love peace and
justice, to stamp all the official
stealing Of Grants administration with
their everlasting indignation, and to
send the blOOd-sucking cOrmOrants and
carpetbaggers bowling back to the
places from whence they came. 1t will
he our duty to secure liberty and justice
to every man who breathes Gods air
p o this continent, and TO give to the
whole country that assurance Of safety
from unlawful arrest, Imprisonment and
outrage, that all may go ahead in the
various business pursuits, feeling once
more that they really do live in a free
country. This isa noble work, and one
for which all may sacrifice a great deal
in the way of politics and previous par
~ affiliations.

TIE AGAIN.

Only two days intervene before the
convention meets to nominate can
didates for county offices. As the
hour approaches, the deeper is the
interest manifested by the people.
The aspiraRts are raiding upon the
delegates, and the delegates are
coquetting. We hope to be able to make
a favorable report of the Nominating
Convention on Thursday. w repeat.
what we have already said, that the
delegates have a solemn duty to per-
form. While every man may reason
ably be supposed to have personal pre-
ferences, these must ina measure be dis
carded, or at least made secondary, in
theeffOrt to select such a ticket as will
have weight andinhnence, and proveac-
ceptable to our friends throughout
the county. No man should be placed
upon the ticketmerely to conciliate those
who may be loud and persistent in his
behalf. In that way, we may WOO
weakness and win defeat. Qualification
and character should underlie
every nomination. Men should be
singled out for the contest who are
knotCn for their integrity, energy and in
telligence. There should be fair, calm
consultation among the delegates-a
free questioning and answering, and
every name brought before the conven-
ton ~canvassed, as though eyerythingde-
pended upon the selection. And every
thing does depend upon the selection.
Although, at a time like this, much may
be conceded to the efforts Of elamOrOus
friendship and earnest advocacy, rather
than excite warm if not bitter feeling or
a spirit of controversy, yet the duty must
be performed, and it is not a matter that
can be shuffied off in a hurry, but will
take time and fair, earnest considera-
ton. Every candidates WORTH should
be weighed, his character, his fitness,
the general estimation in which he
is held, and the probabilities Of
his success, if nominated. Everything
like a foregone conclusion, by forestal-
ing the deliberate voice of the conven-
ton, should be avoided. The men who
assemble are not convened to repay any
one for former services, or to consider
personal or party obligations in the past,
but to select such candidates for the sew
eral offices to be filled as shall be ObnoX-
ious to fewest objections and present the
highest claims on the score of qualifica-
ton. To accomplish this is a difficult
and delicate task, but to %endeavorto free
themselves from bias or Partially should
De the determination of every delegate,
md he will not only deserve but receive I

.onfidences he will honor, and they will

LENOW'R PARK.

If the proposed LenOw Park were sub
divided for sale, it would make sixty
four lots, each twenty-five by seventy
five feet, and having a front on a broad
street. The property having sixteen
hundred front feet, would command on
five years time twice the sum asked for
it by the ElmwoOd Association. We
must have public squares, and they are
indispensable on Main and other central
streets. Northern districts Of the city
are somewhat blest, but South Memphis
is without Lungs" There may be
quite as much local jealousy developed
in this opposition to the acquisition Of a
park in the district designated, as Of the
spirit Of true public wisdom and eeonO-
nv. If Memphis prosper we must have,
and can easily pay for, the property; if
Memphis do not, the trade is still a good
one, for utter bankruptcy is not made
more or less inevitable. If We do
not buy the park and give the
association the sum of six thou
sand dollars annually to ~perpetuate the
charms of ElmwoOd, we will be
forced, when ElmwoOd is filed with
graves, to expend annually quite six
thousand dollars to preserve the charms
of eighty acres of woodland then
within the city's midst and ~consecrated
to holy memories. Not very long ago,
when the city Of New York was fearful
ly in debt, it was proposed by gentle
man, very like Captain Lenow, that the
city should buy and invest with every
conceivable charm of landscape gard
ening, the then uRseemly place now
known as Central Park. 1t has cost

The Chicago Post says: await Whit
man is a great, strong, affeetiOnate, ten
~der-hearted animal sturdy and brawny,
grizzly and generally unkempt, a smile
usually on his bearded face, and a place
always in his warm heart for every soF-
rowing, suffering thing. He was a clerk
in the Treasury Department in 1862; but
he didn't stay there. In one of his cred-
ulous and reckless moods he sent q copy
of Leaves Of Grass to his official chief,
Chase, with an autograph. The Secre-
tary was alarmed, on coming home,
to find the internal machine on his
comfortable, liable to go off among his
children at any moment. He took
il up, examined carefully some of its
worst pages, threw il into the sewer,
and, next morning, removed Whitman
from Office. The poet took it philosophi-
caIly. He had all the more time to
spend at the hospitals nursing the sick
soldiers back to life. For two wears he
lived alone most frugaliy in a little hall
bedroom, spending the whole of his
little income from Leaves Of Grass
among the invalids. They learned to
love him, for he had the mother-instinct
largely developed, and he would go and
tend them in his great arms, and feed
and doctor them, and beguile their
hours, till they got 81 that they cheered
him when he came, and gazed after him
through tears when he went away. He
was afterward reappointed to a desk in
one of the Bureaus.

WHEN the Providence Journal inc
doubt upon the information Of Senator
Anthony declared that Vice-President
CoIfax would be renominated upon the
Grant ticket, and the "Natick CObbler''
was selected instead, it hardly thought,
we venture to suggest that the Journal
would publish the following paragraph,
which we find in its issue of the tenth
instant: 1t now appears that the letter
of Viee-President Colfax, which was an
effective instrument to secure his defeat
at Philadelphia, was merely a private
expression Of desire to retire from pub
lie life, and was not intended for publica-
