The action OF the city council, autnor-
ising the mayor to appoint delegates to
The railroad convention TO be held at Par
10, Tennessee on the 10Th inst, was proper
and wise. We have some interesting facts
In relation 10 this movement, which we
shall lay before our readers tomorrow.

--Hulse processes to have the ability TO
to cure bots by an altogether mysterious
process. A man who can do this, can
certainly drive away the prevailing cpl.
zootic, and should do so. We therefore
suggest that an ordinance should at once
be enacted compelling Hulse to cure the
sick horses of the city. Failure on his
part to comply with the provisions of this
proposed ordinance should subject him 10
capital punishment.

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Gibson, a col
ored couple who had lived for years in the
bonds Of mstrimony, happy and content
eddy, had an ambition, which they could
not control, to amass wealth. Like wise
people, th,y therefore concluded to 60
into the boarding house business. They
had been observers, and had seen fortunes
amassed by boarding house men-men like
Major Wilcox, Major Winter, Major
Ellis and Major Kelley-and they knew
that money was in the business. To get
It out they went in. Among their board.
srs was Howard Richardson, q colored
Adonis, who speedily captured the afec-
lions of Mrs. Gibson, who cruelty left her
ord and master for the sake Of the gay de-
,eiver. Gibson, disconsolate and forlorn,
s now in search Of law to compel his
wife to return to him, and is expressing
great desire to indulge in Richardson's
hearts blood. In the meantime the board
ing house is q banquet hall deserted, and
Ill GIBBS visions of wealth have been
rudely disippated.
Major Cunningham wants to be city
treasurer again. His father, Major Gun.
ST., should be returned to the
council. He has time on his hands which
he can afford to devote to the interests of
the city, and understands the city's neces-

Of those intelligent Democrats who can see
Q little beyond their noses, and stands side

are advancing out Of the old party up to

Democracy the way that they should 60,
but that calm second sober thought in
which he and others very often indulge,
brought him out Of his anger, and he now
stands as one Of the Apostles of the New
Gospel Of Progressive Democracy. At least
be has got far enough to be entitled to re.
election to the council. We forgive him
and assure him he shall have tho weight Of
what we may call in oil modes,y our gian,
influence.
