condemnation. Here, in Sumner,
care Informed that gentlemenwho
toolS Il very active part in the recent
meeting ut the Court House in Gal
latin, and who were violently OPP
posed 10 the acceptance of the sixty
cents proposition, are disappointed
at the rejection of the offer of the
creditors TO accept fifty cents. They
see that our Legislature has rejected
a proposition that could relieve our
people of one-half the public debt at
once, and without running interest !;
and, worse than all, the entire debt
is still upon their shoulders. The
interest alone upon our debt is about
four thousand dollars each day.
This still goes on. If the Legisla-
ture rad had the wisdom to accept
promptly the fifty cents offer, there
would have been a gain of eleven
millions of dollars principal and
two thousand dollars day interest.
But the DEBT is not reduced a dollar,
and the interest still runs.
Large public meetings were held
at GAINESVILLE and Pulaski last Mon
day. At GAINESVILLE speeches were
made by Judge Smith, the Repre-
sentative, and by Representative
Goodpaslure, of OvertOn. At Pu-
laski Mr.. Speaker Taliferro spoke,
and, at each meeting, they were
heartily endorsed by the people.
The truth is the people have been
grossly deceived. Proper inforna-
ton has been withheld from them,
and when they understand the ques-
ton fifty they will be swift to cor
rect their opinions. There will be
a revolution all over State Gala

night. Several lawyers noticing the
boys industry, aided him in his
studies.
When he was twenty-four years
old, he was admitted to the bar, and
even then it was said that young
O'Conner's legal opinion was worth
more than that of any other lawyer.
But success comes slowly to a
young lawyer, and it was not until
his thirtieth year that clients reeog-
nized the legal learning and skill of
young O'Conner. He was very poor,
but industry and ability was his
capital. He worked hard, at the
smallest case, never sighting any
trust, and in time secured the repu-
tation of a man who would do his
best for those employing him. To
this conscientiousneSs and industry
he owed his success.

TON MARSHALL.
"Reminiscences of his COurtShiPs
and Marriage.

"Reminiscences of his COurtShtps
and Marriage.
DIR. Dan NJ. Bowman, of Versailles,
has been lecturing upon Thomas F.
Marshall. He has this interesting
account of Mr.. Marshall'S marriage:
At the age of fifty Captain Mar
shall was married to Miss Bette
YOSt, which event was the climax
of very romantic episode in his
life. In his young manhood he had
Courted one OF his cousins, lady of
wealth, refinement, and high social
standing, but was discarded. He met
the same fate at the hands of one of
LOuisVille'S bellies. | imagine that
the cause of defeat in both cases was
not so much his eccentric habits or
poverty as an utter want of mental
congeniality between himself and
the ladies he addressed. Small talk
and tiattery were as impossible to
him as pigeon English, and it IS no
wonder that when he would launch
into serious discussions of the
mighty problems which crowded his
restless brain that the ladies yawn-
ed behind their fans, and finally
concluded that a lifetime spent
in that sort of conversation would
DE rather mOnOtonOus. Chas. Lamb
divided the world into two great
classes, borrowers and lenders; but
one of our Kentucky wits said that
a better classification would be talk
ers and listeners. Marshall was a
great talker, and Twas especially fond
of a good, appreciative listener. La
dies society possessed no charm for
him, unless the ladies were willing
to converse upon subjects cOngenial
To him. He therefore very early be-
came disgusted with society people
so-called, and was never what he
sierisively termed a 'parlOr man. "
Among the best, although hum
blest, people of the little village of
Versailles, was the family of Mrs.
YOst, and at their home, at the age
OF thirty or Whereabouts, Marshall
was a frequent visitor. Bette, who
subsequently, became his wife, was
then a child of five or six, of some
precOcity, and remarkable childish
Beauty. rs she grew up, she was
known as Marshall's pet and protege,
and never wearied of his longest con-
sensations, nor failed 90 offer him
the homage which from the young
and beautiful is so grateful to- hGble
minds.
So it came about that she loved
him, and would marry no one else,
and that the disappointed man, who
might at one time have married
wealth and fashion, led to the altar
thehumble girl whose ifewas bound
up i'm his own. He was most faith
full and devoted to her, exhibiting
ar All times the utmost tenderness of
affection, aud, although they were
sometimes separated by the eXigen-
cies OF their lot, he never failed to
come back, nor to care fer her when
absent. and died Ina her arms atlast,
banpv that Heaven had spared him
in that hour one constant and unsel-
fish friend.

greeting, and the usual compliments
of the season, there came from un-

evidently attracted the Generals
notice. However, l only talked
and laughed a little louder, hoping
to divert his attention, when-oh,

kick that could not be ignored. So

Charles O'Conner's success.

The life of Charles O'Conner, the
eminent lawyer, shows what dill

plisB,
When but eight years Old, he was
an office-boy and q newspaper-car-
rier. His father published a weekly
newspaper, and Charles, besides at
tending in the Office, delivered the
journal to its subscribers in New
York, Brooklyn and Jersey City.
He used to take a slkiff to cross the
river, and frequently would be out
all Saturday night serving his route.
1T is said he never missed a subscri-

When seventeen years old he en-
