Mr.. Hayes Interview with Memphis
Editor.

The President i'm AN interview
with with Col. Keating, editor Of
the Memphis Appeal, said he was
very anxious to visit the South and
meet i'm their homes leading men Of
that section. He felt satisfied that
the spirit of fraternity between the
sections was rapidly gaining In
strength. He thought the people Of
the South should encourage the Inn
migration of the people and enter
prising men of the North. The Pres
ident was desirous of hearing as tO
the progress of education I'm the
South, particularly among the col
ored people. lie remembered when
professors Of Oberlin College, Ohio,
went South to teach negroes, they
wrote back accounts Of inh0spitable
treatment i'm that section, but the
accounts from them now were Of a
different character. The President
was exceedingly interested i'm the
statistical statement made concern
ing the education Of cOlOred people.
The President did not say when he
would visit the South. 1t h thought
he will go as far as New Orleans.

From the Milan Exchango,

After being photographed in n body
by McCormae, a drive to Dunbar's
cave was enjoyed. This "hole in the
ground" is said to extend four or five
miles under the hills, and Is certain
ly an object Of great interest TO Wis
itors. The drive also included
Greenwood Cemetery, one of the
beautiful burying grounds in the
country. 1t speaks well for the ele-
CANT taste and liberal enterprise of
Clarksville. In fact the town has
more beautiful private residences
and fine churches than any place of
its size in the State. A number of
manufactures and wholesale busi-
ness houses are also located here.
The town shows much evidence Of
enterprise and thrift, Many build
ings are being erected and old houses
painted up.

SENTIMENTS OF THE PRESS ON
THEIR ENTERTAINMENT IN
GAINESVILLE.
From the Louisville Evening News.

1
The meeting of the Tennessee
Press Association, which closed at
Clarksville last Friday evening, was
a very pleasant one. The citizens
of Clarksville, who are theve per-
sonification of hospitality, were un-
firing in efforts to render their guests
comfortable; especially was this true
of those who entertained the delega-
ton from the Kentucky Press Asso-
citation, who were feasted most roy
ally and shown every possible at
tentiOn.
After the close of the business ses-
sion on Friday afternoon, which our
lack of space will not allow to be
further mentioned, an excursion was
taken to Dunbar's Cave, a romantic
spot, some three miles from the city
on the Russellville turnpike. The
temperature of this cave, which was
explored to a considerable distance
by the party, is very low and es-
pecially dangerous to those who are
subject to pulmonary complaints.
The writer of this article has whis-
pered his comments on the trip ever

cesses of the cold cavern, and if his
lost voice does not soon return he
will be forced to learn the sign Ian
guage in order to communicate with
his fellOw-men.
Friday night splendid banquet
was given the association by the
corporation and citizens of Clarks-
vile at the Southern Hotel, and was
prepared by Bringhurst d Co., of
the Franklin House, the Southern
being unoccupied at present. An
immense crowd of invited guests
were present and enjoyed themselves
to the utmost, not single untoWard
incident occurring to mar the pleas
ures of the affair.
The banquet hall and ball rooms
were most elegantly decorated with
evergreens and rare flowers by the
ladies of CIarksville. A touching
effect was produced by the display
of the united coats OF
arms of Kentucky and Tennessee,
typifying the union which exists
between those two sister States, and |
between their press asso-
which is destined to grow
stronger with each succeeding year.
The music, it is needless to say,
was excellent, being furnished by
the Incompatible Eichorn and a de
tachment of his Great Western Star
Band of this city. At very late
hour the sounds of music and the
chatter of merry voices were hushed,
and as the rosy tints Of morn began
to spread over the Eastern sky,
GAINESVILLE, happy in a hospitable
luty well performed, sank to rest,
and the pilgrims who had abided
within her gates for three days gath
cred up sandal and shoOn, and made

ley, filed with pleasant memories

ence to the flowing bowl, and al
was in that immense throng as ord.
erly as in an army. There were ed,
| ibles and wine for all and there was
wine left and to excess. The waltz
the .lancers, the schottische, and the
quadrille occupied nimble feet, un-
der the inspiring music of EichOrn's
Louisville band, until the east was
| growing grey.
| From the Bowling Green Paragraph.
The Tennessee Press Association
met in annual convention at Clarks-
vile, Tenn, last Thursday and con-
tinued its business session until Fri
day evening. There were represen-
tatives from nearly every paper in
the State present. The body was an
able and dignified one, and the bus
mess of the association was speedily
worked up.
An invitation having been ex-
tended to the Kentucky editors to
meet them in their deliberations,
quite a number from our State We're
present to witness the proceedings
of the Tennessee editors and share
the hospitality extended them by
the citizens of Clarksville. After
the business of the convention had
been disposed of, members of the as
sOciation, accompanied by friends
and the Kentucky representatives
were taken out in vehicles to Dun
bars cave, about three and a half
miles from the city. After reaching
the cave the lamps of thewise were
trimmed and filled (nOt with ben
zine), and they proceeded to explore
the tremendous excavation of ma
ture, that has quite a reputation in
that section of the country. Con-
suming the allotted time in the
cave we repaired to the conveyan-
ces and then proceeded to the new
cemetery, which we found to be a
beautiful spot, everything in perfect
order. Returning from the ceme-
terry, the visitors were shown some
of the fine residences, after which
the mind mOulders dispersed to ar
range their toilets for the banquet. |
The banquet was magnificent; ev-
that could add to the pleas
ure of the company had been ar
ranged. The long and heavily-la-
den tables were beautiful sights, and |
contained an abundance after the re-
past had closed. A great many
joined in the merry dance which
was kept up until after the wee sIna'
hours. The Hopkinsville New Era
man danced very gracefully consid-
ering that he acted the part of SYM
pOSiarch, which of course rendered
him too full for many utterances.
He left the ball room very early
next morning and was seen bending
a listening ear as his fair escort told
him how high it was customary for
visitors to step.
We are indebted to Mr.. l.. F.
for his imnleasurable
courtesy during ourstay at his pleas
INT home during the proceedings of
5he convention. To him, his amia-
Die mother and interesting little sis
:ers we extend our thanks, as well
IS to the press of Clarksville and the
members of the convention,
md promise them all if we are ever
10 fortunate we will reciprOcate their
Kind treatment.
Our association with the Tennes-
zee editors was very agreeable and
We hope to meet many of them at
)ur Press Convention next June,
where we will do our utmost to
make their visit as enjoyable as was
)urS.

SITTING BULL.

Washington dispatches OF IAN lns''
give the following:
Major Walsh, of the Canada Mounted
Police, visited Sitting Bull near The hoad'
waters Of Frenchman's creek. SHtlng
Bull said he desired to remain with Inc
Canadians during the summer and tlat nc
would do nothing against law. he came
there because he was tired OF hghung >
and if he could not make living IN Can
ada, he would return to the United states
Spotted Eagle, Rain-in-the-face, Medi'
cine Bear and q number of other Chiefs
of the hostile Sioux present, together
with about 200 lodges of Indians, were
told they would be allowed ammunition
for hunting purposes, and should any OF
their people cross to the American side
and commit any depredations the Chiefs
would be held responsible and punished.
The Canadian Indians are opposed to
having these hostile Sioux on their side OF
tho boundary line, Is they arc at war with
them.

ernment demanding the hostilss, the
mounted police, only 800 men, would be
insufficient to drive them out Of the coun'
try. The hostile Indians have a good
supply Of arms. horses and ponies, but
little or no ammunition, and no Indian
can obtain ammunition from the traders
in the British territory without an order
from the commander, which is not given
except for quantity sufficient to supply
the immediate need of hunting in case an
Indian is actually suffering for the want
of food.
The Canadian authorities lock upon the|
U. s. horses, mules and arms on their pos
sessions as spoils of war.
1t is believed that there must be some
400 or 500 lodges of hostile Sioux now
north of the boundary line, numbering att
least 1900 fighting men. They intend
moving south of the Yellowstone.

ANOTHER GEM.

which was born to blush unseen in the
desert of vacuity called its editorial page.
As 1t knocks the "spots" from tho die

of the Virago's idea of Journalism, "
we reproduce it--and here it Is:
"The AvANr COURIER of last week said

OUR INDIAN DIFFICULTY.

Excitement and apprehension still exist
upon the West Side, and on the l4th the
Governor telegraphed for authority to
raise 600 volunteers for the emergency.
He has also called in all the surplus guns
and ammunition, and is arming the West
Side as fully as the supply will admit.
Butte and other towns are organizing
militia companies, and the Helena organi.
cation has been called upon to stand IN
readiness to respond to the call of the
Governor. A militia company is stationed
at Corvallis, and old Fort Owen has been
placed in defensive condition. The Now
North West gives the following state-

A HERD OF WILD HORSES
TCheycnne Leader

Late arrivals in Deadwood report thai
they saw, between the Missouri and the
Hills, on the headwaters OF Grand river,
a herd of genuine wild horses. The val
ley chosen by these horses for their home
is one of the finest between the Missouri
and the Hills. 1t extends great distance
along the course of Grand river, and is
about twenty miles broad. The soil is
rich loan, and is covered by q luxuriant
growth of the finest grass, and is well
watered. These horses, numbering about
a dozen, have been there for several
months. They are fat, and their coats
are az glossy as though coming from some
well-kept stable They are led by a mon
arch, an animal of extraordinary beauty,
power and intelligence. They seem ami
mated with 8 Keen curiosity, as they
frequently approach tho road within q
OF few hundred yards, and,
standing on some elevated spot, watch
the passing teams, snuflirg the air and
proudly about. They haYe in
ono or two instances followed the wagons
for severa! miles, always keeping, how
ever, respectful distance between them
Numerous attempts have been made to
capture them. The swiftest and hardest
riders are selected for chase; but the good
black leader and his followers have so far
shown them all the way, although. inI
several instances, the chase has been manyI
