lis, TENN: THURSDAY EVENING JULY 9, 1874

The sun and the train rolled on west
ward, and toward evening Of the second
day out from Kansas City came in sight
of Bijou. Ny fellow.passenger was all
hustle and excitement; she had been
half dozen times to the glass to adjust
her hair and apparel. The beautiful
little boy in Scotch cap, blue jacket and
black stockings had had his golden locks
freshly curled, his rosy cheeks washed,
and stood upon the car seat looking out
of the windew-looking for father"
"0h, mother, think | see father,
said Charley. mo, mother, it is some
one else. Oh, l see a coffin, mother;
some person is dead; they are takingthe
coffin out of the wagon, mother. There
it is, mother; there, we are past it now.
Now we shall see father, we are home.
The train stopped. The weary, travel
sOiled niece of Dickens gathered up her
parcels and her cloaks, and stepped out
upon the wild. bleak spot called Bijou
Station. The passengers, all interested
in the laxative and unsophistocated
pair Of travellers, crowded TO the win
dows Of the car to witness the expected
meeting between hasband and wife.
They saw it. While her baggage was
being tumbled out of the car she stood
with her baby in her arms, and her boy
by her side gazing around Hpon the
strange scene, and peering eagerly
among the rough.clad rancbmen and
plainsmen for the face which Of all 9TH
ers she wished to see.
A rough looking but polite ranchman
Az olt
bow and bashful manner, inquired who
the Madam desired to see.
i want my husband, Mr.. Henry Les
ter. Does he not keep a sheep and
cattle farm near hereY
he did, madam" answered the
ranchman, sadly; Z" but he's rounded up
his herd for the last time. There he is
in that coffin, died last Wednesday night,
and were sendin the body to Denver,
accordin' to his last instructions. He
died OF congestion of the bowels, madam.
Beg pardon, madam, but you are his
He did not finish his sentence, but
stepped forward to catch the falling form
of my fellow-traveler, who was carried
to the car in swoon. The little boy
uttered piteous wall of grief, while
led him sobbing back to the car which
this wearied and travel-tired pair had
left minute before so hopeful and
happy. There were many wet eyes in
that car just then, mine among the rest,
as held the beautiful boy sobbing to
my breast.
l saw my fellow.traveler twice again,
once when she followed her husband to
his last resting place, attended by one
solitary carriage and four mourners, and
again last Monday morning, when pale,
sad, and bowed down with grief, she
started with her faiE-haired boy upon her
long journey back to the quiet shade and
seclusion OF her old home within the
shadows of Gloster Cathedral.

A Novel vessel.

The Inhexible, the latest pattern of
war ship, now building for the English
navy, is an extraordinary vessel. What
may be called her distinguishing char
acteristic is that she will have, in the
sense of vulnerability, no wind and
water line at ALL Every one must
know that the vitals of man.of-war lie
aloag the belt OF her foststiou-a breach
of her sides in that region lets in the
sea and swamps her. The Inhexible
carries all her side armor upon central
space ITO feet in length. 1t is twenty
tour inches thick, and protects with that
monstrous wall Of solid iron her engines,
her crew and her battery Of four eighty
ton guns. Along the rest of her--fore
and aft-there is no vertical armor, but
a thick inside cushion of cork OF enor
nous buoyancy, more than sixty feet
square in section, surrounding bunkers
full of coal for the supply of the
ship. A horizontal deck of thick
metal extending fore and aft from the
citadel, at depth of six or seven feet
from the water-line, will cut off all this
unarmored upper portion from the real
head Of the vessel. Thus if the enemy
should send shot or shell through every
coal bunker and corner of the InAexible,
forward and aft, letting in the water
everywhere, he could only-if the design
answers xpectation--lower her a single
foot in the sea. Her citadel, it may be
confidently expected he could not
pierce; at any rate with guns at present
in use. In word, the constructors of
the Inhexible give an enemy the upper
slices of the ship, except her citadel, to
do as he likes with, and it is by making
the ends foatable under any circum.
stances that the iron work Of the pom
de-ous citadel, with its turrets and free
board, can be carried. The ram and
the torpedo are, therefore, the only perils
which threaten this forthcoming lighting
ship; but, perhaps, these also might be
provided against if her bottom under
the water.deck we're constructed in many
compartments.

Radical candidate for Governor. This

famous doctrine of Civil Rights, and
dooms it to destruction. Maynard is,
however, one of the ablest as he is one
of the most unprincipled of the public
men of Tennessee. He is a powerful
debater and will be no mean adversary
on the stump, but if he had the elo-
qnence fDemosthenes and the cunning
of Macchiaveli it would be of no avail.
The back salary grab, and the Civil
Rights bill would break the back OF a
more fiery courser than the Narragan-

him In the face. 1t is the last guber-

A CURIOUS JUDICIAL ROW.
Two North Carolina Judges Claiming
Authority in the Same Circuit.

William a. Moore was appointed by
Gov. Caldwell Judge to fill vacancy
in the Second District of North Caro-
lima, occasioned by the resignation of
E. W. Jones. His predecessor term
would have expired in August, 1873,
and Judge Moore claims that his ap-
pointment was for the whole of the I'M
expired term. But the Constitution of
the State declares that all vacancies
occurring IN the offices belonging to
the judicial department of the govern
ment shall be filed by the appointment
OF the Governor, and the appointees
shall hold their places until the next
regular election. Whether the words
next regular election" mean the cleo
ton which would have taken place
had Judge Jones continued to
hold his Office until 1873, or
merely the next regular election of
general State officers is the point in
controversy. The last General Assem-
bly, passed an act which provided that
an election should be held In the Second
District to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of E. W. Jones, but
the section of the act containing this
provision did not designate any time
for holding such election. AS the
preceding section, however, provided
for an election of Superintendent of
Public instruction on the first Thurs
day in August, it was assumed that
the Judges in the Second District, and
another which was also specified, were
to be elected on the same day, and the
Republicans nominated Louis billiard
for the place. The Conservatives ten
dered a nomination to Judge Moore,
but he declined to accept it on the
ground that it would be absurd to be a
candidate for an Office which was
already filed for the next four years.
Under these circumstances the voting
was all one way, and billiard was duly
commissioned by the the Governor as
Judge. AT Winton, in Hartford
county, on the seventh instant,
both Judges appeared and
undertook to open court; but the
sheriff refused to recognize Judge
Moore, whereupon the latter declared
the court adjourned sine die and re-
tired, after which Judge billiard or
ganized the court In due form and pro-
ceeded to business. Judge Moore says

A feeling OF vague bodily discomfort, which
does not amount to positive illness, and yet is
incompatible with health, is often aptly de-
scribed by the phrase, "Not very we'll" This
feeling usually arises from deficiency Of the

tai machinery in vigorous and healthful opera
