One of the wisest things done 10y the
recent press convention was to invite
General Robertson, superintendent of
the bureau of immigration, to accom-
pany the gentlemen of the press on
their excursion to Lookout mountain.
1t is fortunate thing that General
Robertson was able TO accept the in-
vitation and make the trip. The par
ty will pass through section of coun-
try from which large emigration To
this state is expected, and the oppor-
tunity will be afforded him both to
impart such information as may be
needed by those who are looking this
way for homes, and also to inform
himself more fully Of exactly what
kind Of knowledge those contemplate
ing emigration are in quest OF.

A GENTLEMAN who Travelled on the
cars with United States Marshal
Ochiitree, II day or 40 ago, was in
formed by the marshal that he had
just left Long Branch, that he had AS
sured the president the he could man
age the election down in Texas, that
there was no need o troops here, and
that on this assurance the president
was pleased to state no troops should
be sent here.

Again the cost of the Judiciary is
greater than in 1866. We have twoad-
ditional supreme judges, made by the
last constitutional amendments with
salary of $50 each. We have three
criminal judges i'll addition to 1866, one
created by the "foul twelith,' one by
the thirteenth and one by the four
teenth. The salaries of these, with one
additional district attorney amounts to
| $l0,50S. Besides, the state govern
ment in 1866 created debt in the geo.
logical department of some $500 Or
! $500, which it failed to provide for,
but left both by the 'foul twelfth and
the thirteenth to the fourteenth to
provide for. Had not this officer of
1866 waited long enough for his pay?

Crop Estimates,

The New York Bulletin, of Thursday,
says;
After the regular business of the cot
ton classification convention was fin
ished, yesterday, an informal conver-
sation naturally took place in reference
to the extent of the growing crop, and
the estimates of twenty-five delegates
resulted in an average of 4, ,045, ,037 bales.
These estimates, of course, are all based
upon the outlook and bearings of the
time being, and may all be changed by
the developments of the next two or
three weeks. While having no essen-
tial value in themselves, the prognOs-
ticatioBs, coming as they do from men
who have given the closest attention
to the subject since the first seed was
planted, will be regarded with interest
by the srade all over the country and
in Europe, especially IS the estimates

4 SUGGESTION.

Ii ia conceded on all hands that the
great want of the West Is some means
by which more money may be Kept at
home; that articles which can be
manufactured here should be, and as
much of our products put in form
for easy and cheap transportation as
possible.
In view of these facts, allow me to
suggest a practicable plan by which
thousands of dollars now sent ont OF
our county may be retained here, and
other thousands added thereto.
An establishment for canning and
preserving fruit and vegetables is not
an expensive affair and can easily be
put In operation by a combination Of
farmers and gardeners living near any
good point.
The following plan has been adopted
in many places and may be made pro-
fitable here: A sufficient number
combine to raise q sufficient sum tC
put up the necessary buildings, which
they present to some one who under.
stands the business on condition that
he shall put in the machinery, operate
it and purchase from the subscriber
giving them the preferenee) all TN
fruit, vegetables, &c, suitable tor tn
purpose at q stipulated price. Thu
thousands of dollars worth of frui
and vegetables could be made availa
BILE at = good price, which are nov
suffered to go to waste or sold for nj
most nothing.
What farmer or gardener but conl,
well afford to contribute TEN, twent,
or fifty dollars to furnish himself
permanent and remunerativc marke
for the thousand articles that are no'
allowed TO go to waste, and whic
I. could be saved by the children OF III
: family, with perhaps a few hours c
his own time per annum.
The saving on the probable peae
crop Of this year alone would paw fl

WOODEN WEDDING.-A FINE PAR
TY.-Elegant cards of Invitation were
circulated last week citing the receiy-
| ers to appear at the residence OF Har-
vey Bancroft, just northwest OF the
city, on Monday evening, May 25th,
that being the fifth anniversary of the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. II. ID. Nc
Carter, sOn-in-law md daughter of
Mr.. Bancroft.
This proved TO DC the social event of
the season In our city. In response to
the Invitations large number of peo-
plo assembled, at least $50 in number,
we should think. The large and hand
some residence of Mr. Bancroft was
brilliantly lighted. The evening was
one OF oar delightful ones, such as arc
only gotten up in Kansas. The large
and elegantly furnished rooms, as we'll
as the verandas, were filed with peo-
pie who seemed to be in i special
mood for enjoying such an occasion.
All the surroundings of tho party wore
AN aspect of beauty and attractiveness.
The beautiful evening, the loneliness
OF the ladies, the gallantry of the gem
tleEnen, the elegance of the mansion,
all mingled to contribute to the pleas
urc of the occasion. Mr.. and Mrs.
McCarter received the friendly con-
CALCULATIONS of all, while Mr.. and Mrs.
Bancroft die the honors of the house
with their we'll known suaYity.
Not the least interesting feature of
the wedding were the presents made
on the occasion. These were in great
variety, the leading ones consist ng of
an elegant walnut smoking chair up
holstered with green rep, 4 marble top
stand, fine chrome entitled Rip Van
Wrinkle, nice brakets, etc. Human
nature could not exist without an ex-
hibition of its funny side occasionally,
and hence there was display of pres
ents to crafty this propensity. The
leading one of these was an OK yoke
with an attachment intended 10 pre-
vent breachy cows from entering en-
closures. This was hit at Mr.
McCarter's Oppositious in the city
council, to allowing cows to roam over
the city at will. There were others
which created good laugh, and we
doubt not the happy couple count the
night OF the fifth anniversary of their
wedding as among the most pleasant
of their welded life.
During the evening the company
was feasted on the most delicious ice
cream, cake, lemonade, etc. Waite's
band was present, and those who were
so disposed, which, we noticed, were
not few In number. enga ged In dane
ing in the back parlers of the resi-
dence.
At an early hour the party broke
up, and all went home showering
blessings ON the heads of the sold poo
ple'' for tine happiness they had expe-
rienced, and wishing them many an
niYersaries In the future.
