The New York Times, the ablest
and most manly Republican paper in
the eouatry. since the grand move Of
Pennsylvania, almost gives up thecop-
test. We copy from it,
I'VE have had two great panios,
throwing large numbers of med out of
employment. There is more distress
abroad now than then the pinch of
want is felt 10 many more households.
Every day the work of good govern
ment is beset with increasing Difficult
ties, and the troubles Of other countries
are repeating themselves here Wheth-
er the people wish to keep check
upon the issue of paper money, and to
pay the national creditor what belongs
to him, are questions which must be
submitted to another vote before we
can pronounce them settled. At pre-
sent they are in doubt. The Repub-
lican party must and will stand firm,
come what may. But the Democrats
are, in our opinion, making rapid pro-
gress, and it is quite possible-we will
even say probable-that they may gain
possession Of the government next
year. They will do so beyond doubt,
If the people are prepared TO try the
financial policy so enthusiastically re-
ceiyed in Indiana, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania. And We are not so eonhdeet
as some of our Republican friends that
the people do not intend TO try II.

Largest Man in the World.

Humboldt Journal: We find the
following in an old scrap book, with
out date. Probably some of our read
ers know something of the largest man
in the world:
The funeral sermon Of Mr.. Miles
Darden, who died at his residence in
Henderson county, was preached on
the 4th Sunday in June, FIVE miles
Southwest from Lexington, Tenn. The
Masonic fraternity were in attendance,
IN full regalia, on the occasion.
"The deceased was, beyond all ques-
ton, the largest man in world. His
height was seven feet six inches-two
inches higher than Porter, the ceie-
brated Kentucky giant. His weight
was fraction over 1000 pounds 1t
required IL men to put him 10 his
coffin; took over 100 feet Of plank to
make his coffin. He measured around
the waist 6 feet 4 inches"

city containing an article in which
was said I'VE have hopes that an
aroused public spirit will fad some way

Quincy. Sept. 5-My Dear Sir.-I
cannot but be deeply moved by the
voluntary expressions Of esteem which
L eecasionly ind in the newspapers in
reference to myself. I trust they may
not have the effect Of turning my head,
OF making me think Of myself better
than / ought to think. With regard
to the suggestion made in the article
to which you call my attention, lam
sure it would be very agreeable to me
to undertake the work, but | hare, |
fear, already on my hands quite as
much as can dare hope to accomplish
during my term of life, approaching so
near three score and ten prescribed as
the limit of usefulness. If | do, |
shall have to make haste or run great
risk of leaving matters in confusion.
lt is for this reason that l have been,
perhaps, too Indifferent to the wishes
Of many who have desired to have me-
called again into public life. / see
nothing there just now which promises
happy results in so short time.
am steadily releasing myself from the
responsibility, if not of writing history,
at least Of putting out Of reach Of acci-
dent the valuable materials for writing
it which have been placed ie my hands,
o. ghich | have myself gathered in my
career. l doubt whether | could be

First an Editor. then a Bishop.

The election Of the Rev. DR. McLa-
rem to be Bishop Of Illinois IS not only
n matter Of fc0ngratulatiOn for the Epis-
copal Church of this State, as settling
the differences which had arisen by
judicious compromise. bst it is also .
matter Of congratulation for the news
paper press of this country. If vs.
mistake not, the Rev. Doctor was some
years ago connected with the Cleye-
land Plaindealer, and left that paper to
go into the Presbyterian Church, from
which he went over to the Episcopal
three years ago. He has now become
a Bishop, and the press has thereby
discovered that one of its members is
a successor to St. Peter, duly qualified
by the laying,on of hands. Webeiieye
no other daily newspaper journalist
has found himself in the direct de-
scent, on either of the three routes,
the Anglican, Roman, OF Greek branch
es of the Church Apostolic. The pro-
fession, therefore, has good reason to
congratulate itself upon its new-found
honor, and congratulate the Church
that inasmuch as DIR. NcLaren was
good newspaper man he will also be .
good Bishop. All good newspaper
men would make good Bishops.

4 feT days since from Minnesota, and
am far better pleased with the country
than on my visit last March But
what change has taken place in the
few brief months that have eintervened.
Immediately after my return last
March / sent out my FIRST letter on
Tennessee. | hard curiosity to see
what the public feeling was in the
North in regard to changing to mild
er climate-to see If there were many
others that felt as / did. Being in
charge of printing office, | printed
off FIVE hundred of FIVE successive let
tiers and sent them to as many prom
inent papers in the North. At Il
close of each letter | requested all VIII
desired to change to warmer climate
to address me and [ would send them
documents to convince them that
Tennessee was the place to go to, rath-
er than to the West or Pacific States.
Applications came in so rapidly that |
was Obliged to reprint an edition Of
ten thousand copies withwhich to sup
ply demands. 1t now takes two and
three hands all the time to fold and
mail circulars, answer letters and talk
immigration.
As parties begant to think of moving,
the subject of reduced fare was sug-
gestsd. I,theu went at that matter. L
have it now arranged for through rates
from Minneapolis to Nashville at $l7
aud pro rata fare from intermediate
points. Before [ return North | shall
go to Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York
and New England States and make
like arrangements.
The tide has commenced moving,
and immigrants. and those coming to
look will arrive at Nashville in larger
or smaller numbers every day. Ifthese
are received cordially and pains are
taken to please and iavorably locate
them, every one of them will be the
means of bringing many others to
Tennessee.
The interests wide-spread-exteads
over twenty Statssand Canada. From
fifty to one hundred new names are
added on my books at Minneapolis.
As | travel more extensively over the
South in my present visit. and send out
fresh circulars to all my list, the inter-
est will widen and extend till in less
than three months shall have register
ed the names of ovef ten thousand,
and nearly every one of them not only
a prospective immigrant, but repre-
sentative of large circle of friends
whowill, sooner or later, follow him.
But just here let me say Tennesseans
must look well to her laurels. Georgia
aud Alabama have seen what this effort
has done for Tennessee, and are at
work, sparing no labor or expense in
making known their resources. Now
is the time for work. These four let

The Spirit of United Germany.

Col. Forney says in one ct his re-
cent letters to the Philadelphia Press:
A strong, proud government like
that of Germany, with vast army
ready to move in day; with steel
nerved statesmen. and policy as watch
full as its emblematie eagle, with ripe
schools dropping their selected frsit
into every household; with stern re-
ligion of its own, cannot be otherwise
than absolute. There is, therefore, no
free press in Germany, no public meet
ings, no. outspoken politics. and hence
not a fiber of republieanism- There
was aspirit of freedom. once, bat now
united Germany is the talismaR tizat
controls allsects, suppresses all opposi~
tiou, and stiles all expression of opin-
ion, save that which supports the gov
ernment in its austere mission. L met
a very learned man, yesterday, who ad-
mitted all these things, and yet claimed
that he was a republican. But OBJ
serve, he said. as cCurteously denied
his consistency, Il am not a republican
in the sense that asks only for rights
and rejects duties. In America, with
all your liberty and license. the ex-
treinest radical accepts both /; but here
we have classes who insist upon rights,
but refuse the resulting obligations.
l am not of these, and say they should
be suppressed" Count Won Bismark
has his own view of the situation, and
goes a bow-shot beyond my friend.

only Three Dissertations In the United
States Between Now and 1901---
Denyer's Luck-The Great
Eclipse Of 1873.

Boston Advertiser.
Since the magnificent total eclipse
| Of FIVE minutes duration at Boston and
Albany on June Is, 1906, there have
been in New England only two central
eclipses, aud on the 18th inst, there
will be a third, all annular in some
parts of Massachusetts,, viz, on Feb.
y, 1881, there was an eclipse annular
| in Nantucket and part of Barnstable
county; on May 26, 1854. another. an
nular in large part of this State and
at Boston, and the third on the 18th
inst. When another central eclipse of
the sun will happen in New England
is not known; but by the catalogue of
eclipses computed 81 years.ago. above
mentioned, it appears thati the United
States, south of lat. &c degs., or west
of long. 100 deg, there will be before
1901 three central eclipses: the first of
them on July 20, 1873. when the great
eclipse of June 16. 1906, will return
for the fourth time, and the moon 5
shadow will pass from the northeast Of
Asia over British Columbia, Montana,
Colorado, Texas, Cuba to Hayti. and
there will be total eclipse for about
three minutes at the city of Denver
which city seems to be very fayorably
situated for careful observation on this
eclipse, and, indeed, the only city now
existing in the United States where
the obseuration will be complete. At
Havana, where it will also be total, the
sun will be low and the season of the
year unsuitable for visit to Cuba.
The second will take place on March
is, 1885, when the eclipse of Feb. II,
1881 central at Nantucket). will re-
turn for the third time, and be annular
in the northern part of California and
Montana. The third on May 2S, 1900.
when the moons shadow. coming from
the southwest, will pass over part of
Alabama. etc, to the northeast part of
North Carolina, and cause total
eclipse, but for about one minute only,
a little south of Norfolk, and very
large eclipse of quite eleven digits at
all of our cities on the coast, as far
North as Maine
The eclipse of March %, 1876, will
be visible all over the United States
except Florida, but with very different
degrees of obscaration in Georgia it
will be very small; in Washington
Territory very large or nearly central.
1t will be central at Nootka Sound,
about the middle of Vaseouver's Island
and thence along lixe toward the
northern extremity of HudsOn's Bay
it will, where central, oR the earth
generally be annular; but ae Nootka
Sound where it will be central few
minutes after noon, the tabular diaHeter
of the moon, augmented for the meop.s
attitude, will be so slightly less than
that of the sun, that it cannot be
positively stated which of the tive will
be, apparently, the larger, or whether
the eclipse there will be annular or
total whichever it may there prove to
be, the interval between the second
and third contacts will not exceed ten
seconds, and probably viii be much
less.
