The Jackson Wing and Tribune re-
ports the stropg ! oints made by Msjor
w. J. Sykes, in his speech Tuesday
night, as follows: That reduction Of
taxes, 60 as only to psy the current ex-
pense Of the State government, would
prevent 3 satisfactory settlement of the
debt, and would cause an accumulation
at the rate Of one and one.balf million
dollars a year, or six million dollars In
four years. Who, said Msjor Sykes,
will advocate placing upon Tennessee
such an interesting burden as this? By
advocating such rate of taxation IS
will divide the Democratic party, you
will perhaps place in power the Republic
can party, who will not stop at forty
cents, but may go to sixty or eighty
cents. In striving for what you call lou
taTes, you may get what will indeed be
high td1es. Beware OF the danger.
Major Sykes showed that the present
rate, If proper measures were taken by
the governor and the next legislature,
would liquidste the whole debt in twen-
ty-five years. Hessid he was practically
q much lower tax man than those who
were advocating a reduction Of taxes,
which would result in practical high
taxes, since failure to pay would not
liquidste, but merely increase the deOt.

Of his temporal, but retaining bis spirit
usl authority. 1t is held that the election
Of his successor by other than the digni-
taries of the church, would breed COLI
fusion In its councils and weaken the
hands Of its spiritual ruler. The modl'
ications sought for, therefore, will not
be, 1t is stated, in this direction, but

popes, for the last three hundred years,
having been natives Of Italy.

to the fact that sit was Henry s. Foote,

in Tennessee, who deliberately wrote
over his own signature, in the columns
Of the Washington Chronicle, the start

party to the conspiracy that resulted in

A TELEGRAM elsewhere, from Rome,
announces the fact that the convocation
Of cardinals have determined to abolish
certain old-time ceremonies 50 as to
hasten the election of successor to the
present pope and repeal the law which
vested the elective franchise in the chief
civil authorities, the citizens Of Rome,
and the clergy jointly. For a thousand
years the election Of the pope was by
Roman votes of the classes we have
mentioned but for the last eight hun
dfed years the cardinals OF the Sacred
college have alone been clothed with the
power Of choosing their supreme head.
This power they would hardly regard it
polite to surrender, now that r 7me has
become the capital Of the new KINGDOM

The following gem Of poetry wss taken from
he Cincinnati Commercial:
bird with plumage of golden hue
Sang In the hedge-rows oil day long,
And the traveller went with lighter heart
For the echoing Joy Of the happy song.
And the plowman whistled merrier tune
As the brown earth turned from his shining
share,
And the clouds sailed low, like drifting ships,
That anchored by islands green and fair.
Little the singer knew OF the song
AS the swift, bright hours of the summer few,
Only the gladness OF happy wings,
The golden sunshine cleaving through;
Only the Joy Of sheltered nest,
With the watchful love OF faithful mate,
And the song went up the livelong day,
Like the song Of the lark, to heavens gate.
But some one caught in a slken snare
The careless bird with the golden wing,
And never more by the hedge-row fair
The traveller pauses to hear her sing
But all day long, in gilded cage,
She dreams OF the meadows green and free,
And mourns for the song Of her absent mate,
And the nest In the far off forest tree.
And the world is full of cages fair.
Where sweet-voiced singers forget to sing,
And hearts are beating 'gainst prison bars,
AS the restless captive beats her wing
And travellers plod on the dusty way.
Uncheered by the songs they love so we'll
And whether the tree or the cage is best
None but the captive bird may tell.

The reception given on Thursday OF last week
by Mrs. jackson and Mrs. Consallus, at Mrs.
Hendricks home, in honor OF her sixty-second
birthday, was indeed "a Gerry enjoyable occa-
sion for ALL" The company was large, intelli-
gent and refined Conversation flowed freely,
enlivened occasionally by descriptions given by
Mrs. Hendrick Of the scenes visited by her
during her trip to California. Besides, we were
shown quite collection OF marine plants and
other curiosities which she brought from the
Pacific Coast all OF which added to the interes:
OF the OCCASION. But to those of US who have
known her longest and best, there was tnge
OF sadness over it all. We remembered that
eighteen years ago she was not as now, alone
among so many, but came with her husband to
make a home in our midst. Strangers though
they were, it was soon known that they we're
on the right side Of all the leading questions OF
the day. Besides being consistent members and
liberal supporters OF the NJ. E. Church and
Sabbath school, they we're earnest workers in
the temperance cause, always on the side OF
justice and the right. 1, It any wonder, then,
that their old friends should drop tear to the
memory OF the departed, while they enjoy
meeting with the one who is still with US, but
whose crown Of slxty-two years adds weight to
her words when she tells us that she Z" is only
waiting"
