river from Knoxville to Chattanooga
for twenty-five years, aud knows
every rock and shoal in it.
He commanded the Harkaway,
franklin, Enterprise, Casandra, aud
the Jefferson before the railroad was
built, and was very successful, and at
that time was well and favorably

General Manuel de la COncha, who
was killed on Sunday while leading
the Spanish republican troops against
the Carlist intrenchments near Estella,
was born in Madrid in l794, and had
been solder from his youth. He partic.
lpated in the campaigns against Napo-
leon and against the revolted Spanish
colonies in South America. His first
great military success was the capture
of OportO, in 1917, for which he was
created Marquis del Duero. At that
period he was conspicuous in the ultra
conservative party. Soon after he was
banished from Spain for engaging in a
revolutionary movement. Being re.
called, he was made marshal and in
spectOr generalof cavalry and exhibited
marvellous courage on the occasion of
the revolt of the soldiers at Barcelona
The insurgents were overawed by his
personal audacity, and laid down
their arms at his command. In 1864
he became a liberal, and was again
banished, but returned during the rev.
olution of 1868, and took prominent
part in the movements which deprived
Isabella II. of her throne. His last
military effort was an attempt to crush
the Carlist revolt by drawing Gordon
of one hundred and thirty thousand
soldiers around the insurrectionary
forces. The battle of Estella, in which
he lost his life, was feature of this
plan.

Among the various remedies for
coughs none enjoy higher reputation
than Edey's Carbollc Troches. The
fact that they are well spoken of, that
they sell where they have not been
advertised, places them above the
ordinary list of medical preparations.
For coughs, colds, asthma, aud as
disinfectant and preventive against
contagious diseases they are specific.

The comet now putting in an ap-
pearance in the Northern sky will
not compare with that Of 1858, or with
the great comet Of lS43. 1t is said TO
mostly conceal its tail. Nevertheless,
as 1t Is to come so very near to us as
the trifiing distance Of 100, OOO, 600
miles, a few yards of elongated verte-
brie Tor a few hairs more or less, will
not be missed. The present comet is
now visible with small glass in the

and below the Dipper. 1t will grow
In brightness until July IS, when it is
