At last tho great struggle is ended.
After seven days of ballotiDg, seven
nights of caucusing, four weeks Of ma
neuvering and wire pulling, and after
twelve months of pipe>laying, the "Great
Commoner" has besn chosen as Senator
Brownlow's successor in tho United
States Senate. Nashville has never be-
fore been so thoroughly stirred up by a
political contest. The excitement was
scarcely eScelled by the advent of
Buell. in 1862, or the repulsiOn Of Hood
by the victorious hosts of Thomas in 1864.
That ubiquitous individual "the oldest
inhabitant' who has witnessed Senatorial
elections from the days Of Houston, Cans

to the present, has never witnessed con-
test so full Of thrilling excitement as this.

terrogated each other, and frequently

A FEW WORDS TO OUR GIRLS.
The pastor of a church in one of
our large cities said to me not long
ago: 81 have officiated at forty
weddings since l came here, and in
every case save one, l felt that the
bride was running an awful risk"
Young men of bad habits and fast
tencencies never marry girls of their
own sort, but demand a wife above
suspicion. So pure, sweet women,
kept from the touch of evil through
the years of their girlhood, give
themselves with all their costly dow.
er of womanhood, into the keeping
of men who, in base associations,
have learned to undervalue all that
belongs to them and then find no
place for repentance in the sad af.
ter years.
There is but one way out of this
that can see, and that is for you
the young women of the country
Ito require in ASSOCIATE on and
marriage, purity for purity, sobriety
for sobriety, and honor for honor.
There is no reason why the young
men of this Christian land should
not be just as virtuous as its young
women, and if the loss of your soci.
ETY. and love be the price they are
forced to pay for vice. they will not
pay it.
l Iadmit with sadness that not all
of our young women are capable of
this high standard for themselves
or others too often from the hand
of reckless beauty has the tempta.
ton to drink come to men; but
believe there are enough of earnest
thoughtful girls in the society of
our country to work wonders in the
temperance refo rm, if fully aroused.
Dear girls, will you help us in the
name Of Christi viii you, first of
all, be SO true to yourselves and
God, so pure in your inner and out
er life, that you shall have a right
to ask that the young men with
whom you associate, and especially
those you marry. shall be the same I

BURYING THE HATCHET. The
day after our centennial festivities
the following incident occurred in q
South End saloon: A friend had
invited one of the South Carolina
soldiers into the saloon to put an
other turf on the buried hatchet.
While standing at the bar a
stranger came in. The Carolinian
suddenly dropped his glass and
closely eyed the stranger. His gaze
was so steady and peculiar that the
friend began to he alarmed, and to
fear that the hatchet was about to
be dug up again. Dieectly the
Carolinian asked the stranger if he
knew him. There was no recogni.
tion whereupon the Carolinian
asked him if he was not in the late
war. HYes," was the reply. "And
you were stationed at such place"
"Yes." sand took part in such
skirmish 2" "Yes." "Well, 1
thought So" replied the Carolinian,
and, raising his hat, showed a large
scar on his forehead, saying: "There
is your sabre mark, my boy; come
up and take a drink" And SO

Fortunes Caprices.

John Mallory was returning from
his days work, with his spade over
his shoulder, when he saw il woman
sitting close to the wall, weeping
bitterly.
John had a kind heart, and was
easily moved at the sight of distress,
so he stopped and addressed the
woman.
"YOu seem to he in trouble"-
that was what he said. The mourn.
er lifted her face, and he saw that
she was a very young woman,
scarcely more than a girl. in fact.
But this did not lessen his pity at

heart was human as we'll as kind.

"Cheer up, then, if that is all,

And John spoke truly, for his
mothers heart was like his own.
She only needed to know that the
girl was stranger and in distress,
to give her a cordial welcome.
"Take off your things, my DEAR"
said she, removing the girls shawl
with her own hands, "and sit here

MISREPRESENTATION. 1t is pos
sible that some one who reads tile
title of this article may find him
self guilty of failing to pronounce
ci like sh in shun. l find that my
lady friend, who is very precise in
her language, will persist in accent
ing etiquette on the first instead OF
on the last syllable. My good min
lister, who has the greatest aversion
to anything wrong, was greatly sur
prised when l mildly suggested
to him that aspirant should be ac'
ccnted on the penult, while my mu-
sical niece mortified me the other
evening by pronouncing finale IN
two syllables. Iheard my geo'og-
ical friend, the other day, explain
ing tho subsistence of the earth's
crust, but he should have accented
the second instead of the first syl.
liable. The same mistake happened
the other day, to my friend, the
President of the Reform Society,
who spoke Of the vagaries of certain
people, by accenting the first instead
of the second syllable. He also an
that 1 would deliver an
address that evening but I knew it
was not polite to tell him to accent
the last syllable. My boy says that
he left school at recess, accenting
the first syllable, and he was 10th to
believe that, whatever the meaning
of the word, it should be accented
on the fual syllable. Then my
friend, the president of the Debating
Club, who is great student of
Manual, tells us that a
motion to adjourn takes the prece-
acnce by accounting the first instead
of the second syllable. My other
ady friend says that she lives in a
house having a cupalo. She should
consult the dictionary for that word.
But l will close by remarking that
ny legal friend, who is very schol-
arly, always accents coadjutor ON
he second, instead Cf the third,
where the accent rightfully belongs.
