The discussion of the issues between
+ the county authorities, so far as the pub
lie is concerned, has been pretty well ex.
hausted. Each side has been allowed lib.
eral space and time to present their re-
spective views and arguments. and righr
well and ably have they availed them
selves of this privilege. All things must
have an ending, however, and hence we
shall in the future decline further com
munications on this subject, except as
regular advertising matter.
PUSHING HIcKMAN's INTERESTS -
Hickman trade interest is being well
advertised through the active efforts of
some of our leading business men, and
we don't want to be invidous or partial in
mentioning names, for there are some
deserving of credit in this line whose
names will not occur in this article We
will do them justice another time. We
are now only speaking of few special
lines, through which influences Hickman
is being favorably advertised and our
trade interest advantaged.
Chief among these is the
FARM IMPLEMENT DEror,
of Powell x Bro. This firm has number
Of agents travelling through the sur
rounding counties, headed by Mr. j. West
Powell, in person. They are selling i'm
plements aud machinery at from 10 l.
PER cent JeioIo factory prices Through this
influence thousands of dollars worth of
trade is being attracted to Hickman. 1t
is clear that no Legitimate house or agen-
cy can offer better inducements.
Next we have the large
IRON AND HARDWARE HOUSE
Of N. P. Harness < Co. We are safe in
saying that there is not an iron and
hardware house this side Of Evansville
that carries such a stock, and at no other
point except perhaps Paducah, can the
public be accommodated in this line of
trade. The smaller towns don carry the
goods. Hence it is that parties unable
TO obtain this line of goods anywhere
else are brought here to trade. by the lib
eral terms offered, and when here do
o.heg trading.

Especial 10 n. o. Demoefat,1

WASHINGTON. March 30.-The Cabinet
to-day informally considered the ques-
tion OF withdrawing the troops from
Columbia, South Carolina. Sehurz,
Evarts, Key, Devens and MeCrary ex'
pressed their belief that there was no
sense In further tempofizng, and that
10 would be best to give Hampton an OPP
portunity OF carrying out his policy OF
settling the matter by civil processes
through the courts, which he says he
can carry out. Sherman and Thompson
expressed nppreheneions that the with
drawal Of troops would excite Blaine's
following In the North. and that 1t
would be best to adjust the situation and
determine the question OF the disputed
Governorship before the Federal forces
were removed. Nothing is palmer than
the fact that Hayes and all his advisers
arc afraid OF Blaine, who is the veritable
Banauo's ghost Of the Cabinet table.
General Hampton intended leaving
here tonight, but remains twenty.four
hours longer, at the request OF Mr..
Evarts, to see IL something can't be
done to pacify John Sherman and
Thompson and outAank Blaine. Hamp-
toms promises to the President seem to
leave Hayes no loophole of escape from
the responsibility which he has thus
far 40 successfully avoided. It Is be-
Iieved that IL all attempts at compro-
mise fail. the President will discover

bility, and that he must remove the
troops, Blaine or no Blaine, on Monday.

Joseph Stahl, aged 26, an unmarried
brewer employed IN Kohler &c Kamena's 3
brewery, Gutten berg, fell asleep in the
engine room early yesterday morning.
He was awakened by the noise of foot
steps, and at the same instant found
himself enveloped In fire and half suf-
focated by the smoke OF kerosene oil.
He ran into the bedroom Of the en-
gineer, adjoining, where he grasped
Two blankets and attempted to wrap
himself In them. He sank exhausted
on the floor and was found there by
employees, shockingly burned about the
breast. face and arms: Every article of
clothing was burned off except his
heavy cowhide boots. He told the at
tending physician, who says he was
rational, that somebody had thrown
kerosene over him, and then lighted it,.
There was no fire in the furnace nor in
the room, and that fact gives strength
to what appears an almost incre dible
story. Young Stahl died at day break

responsible for the reeeat outrages.
This council was elected by the Labor
Union for the trial Of members for

oies occurred the council filled them,
and thus became independent OF the
order. and commanded the obedience Of
members.
II was soon found that tho members

which have since come to light, and
many more that were never carried into

Many members Of the Labor Union

"a Blessing In Disguise. "

Editor Densocrat-The liberality and
public spirit Of corporations are known
of all men, but there are some corpora
tions that are more liberal and have
more public spirit than others. Among
those most liberal and most public spir-
tied the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany stands prominent. Have you
observed their latest exhibition OF these
noble qualities? IL not, do walk over
cedar forest, lately brought down the
river ION raft) and transplanted along
side our banquettes. True, the trees
are deprived OF their roots and branches,
and are expected to serve the purpose
Of telegraph poles, but they are ex-
pected to sprout out again and give us
shade against summers sun. and
under which our children may disport
themselves.
And the trees are as large as the lib
erality Of the company. They are
eighteen inches in diameter at the
base, and about forty feet In height.
Stripped as they are, they are fright
fully ugly, and for the present disgust
the value Of our property; but they are
expected to grow, you know; and II
they do not, we are at least expected to
get used to them. A few years ago the
liberal company planted out forest of
pines along our sidewalks; they were OF
huge size and fearfully ugly, but we
were told they would leaf out and i'm
prove in appearance. and we would be
delighted.
There were no civilized courts in ses-
sion, and we submitted to the infictiol.
The trees never grew; they rotted, and
hence the present cedar substitutes.
We don't believe these will grow; we
know they are running our property and
we expect to ask that they be removed.
We don't like to hurt the feelings Of the
company, but we don 'tlike the forest.
And then the childlike sweetness OF
temper with which the City Fathers
the "publio servants" we'll paid to
watch over our interests-submits to
this infiiction on those who voted
to put them in office! Who would
accuse one Of them OF ever knowing one
thing Of what was going on the other
day when our banquettes were being
ripped up to receive this cedar forest?
They know Of it! No, not they. Or II
they did, they interfere with great,
good, liberal, public spirited monopoly
No, indeed, not il they planted large
cedar trees right in the Mayors office.
Who ever heard of interference with
the "vested rights" OF q monopoly?
Come over, Mr.. Editor, and look at
our cedar forest ANXIOUS CURIE.

And a Fearful STERN All Along the
Jersey Coast.
Especial dispatch to N. Y. Timesl
LONG BRANCH, March ga fearful
storm has been raging along the Jersey
coast for the last forty hours, sweeping
almost everything before 1t. This
evening the steamer husband was only
a few feet out of water, and was con-
tinually being lost from view by i'm
mense waves and breakers, covering as
high as her smoke stack. She lies
almost parallel with the shore, and
seems to be fast in the sand. Every
thing that was not apparently perfectly
secure was hurled ashore. The beach
for some distance Is strewn with the
light work of the main deck, including
a few stores and small articles which
were below. One hatchway was
swept away by the intensity OF the
storm and washed ashore. It is uncer-
tain about any more being gone, as it
has been an impossibility for any one
to board her since yesterday noon.
Three boats on the starboard side were
washed ashore in pieces yesterday The
owners have great fears as TO saving
the vessel, but still have hopes OF saving
a greater portion OF the cargo. The
Rusland appears to weather the storm
splendidly. The wind blew from north
east to east all day, and the indications
for Tomorrow are that 1t Will go bad
with the l-iated vessel.

One Little Shoe.
MRS. VI. A. KIDDER.

Think it no trife, my childless friend,
The one little shoe that we found to-day,
Duttonless, faded aud wet with dew,
Out IN the grass where the children play.
Gold could not buy it, nor precious stones;
Wrapped in the softest silk it lies
There in the corner, with other things
Nearly as precious, to gladden. our eyes.
Only month since she lost this shoe
Dear baby Mary, with her golden hair.
Only week since we laid her low,
"Under the daisies" sweet and fair
Rrave little feet, how they battered forth,
Morning and noon with their task TO do |;
Never at rest till the good sun set,
And the busiest baby's" work was through.
Little pink toes in their cradle-bed,
Cuddled away when the day was done,
Ready to start at break Of dawn,
Over the house in search OF fun.
Now they are still in their narrow bed,
Waxen and white as the drift OF snow,
Only eclipsed by the angel feet,
Eairer than ever they were below.
Think it no trfle then, childless friend,
This odd little shoe that we found today,
Buttonless, faded and wet with dew,
Out in the grass where the children play.
