Natural selection.

Investigators of natural science have demon
strated, beyond controversy, that throughout
the animal kingdom the Survival of the fit-
test is the only law that vouchsafes thrift and
Uerpetuity. Does not the same principle
govern the commercial prosperity Of mani An
inferior cannot supersede q superior article.
Illustrative Of this principle are the family
medicines of r v. Pierce, N. D., of Buffalo,
N. Y. BY reason Of superior merit, they have
outrivaled all other medicines. Their sale in
the United States alone exceeds one million
dollars per annum, while the amount export
ed foots up to several hundred thousand more.
No business could grow to such gigantic pro-
portions and rest upon any other basis than
that OF merit. 1t is safe to say that no medi-
cine or combination Of medicines yet discover
ed equals or can compare with DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, for the cure of
coughs, colds, and all pulmonary and blood
affections. II the bowels be constipated and

English Ivy.

The use of English ivies for the pur-
pose of decorating rooms is becoming
more extensive every year, and can not
be too highly commended. Being very
strong they viii live through any treat
ment; but study their peculiarities, and
manifest willingness to Crafty them and
they will grow without stint. Most
houses are too hot for them, as indeed
they are for their owners. Neither
plants nor people should have the tenn
perature over sixty degrees Fahrenheit.
Take care and not enfeeble your ivies
by excessive watering or undue heat,
and you will see that they will not seem
to mind whether the sun shines or not,
or in what position or direction you
train them. Indeed, so much will they
do themselves to render room charm
ing, that we would rather have an IN
limited number of them to draw upon
than any thing else in nature or art.
Do you wish the ugly plain doors that
shut off your tiny entry from your par
Tor to be arched or carved, like those in
the drawing-rooms of your rich neigh
bort Buy q couple of brackets, such
as lamps for the burning of kerosene
are sometimes placed in, and screw
them in the sides of the door. Put in
each plant of English ivy, the longer
the better; then train the plants over
the top, against the sides, indeed any
way your fancy dictates. You need not
buy the beautiful but costly pots the
flower-dealer will advise; common
glazed ones will answer every purpose,
for, by placing in each two or three
sprays of Coliseum ivy, in q months
time no vestige of the pot itself can be
discerned through their thick screen.
The English ivy growing over the walls
of the building, instead of promoting
dampness, as most persons would sup
pose, is said to be o remedy for it, and
it is mentioned as q fact in the Paper
Hangers Companion that in certain
room where damp had prevailed for a
length of time, the affected parts inside
had become dry when ivy had grown
up to cover the opposite exterior side.
The close overhanging pendant leaves
prevent the rain or moisture from pen
etrating to the wall. Beauty and utility
in this case go hand in hand.-Journal

Camping Out.

The instinct of barbarism that leads
people periodically to throw aside the
habits of civilization and seek the free
dom and discomfort of the woods is ex-
plicable enough. But it is not so easy
to understand why this passion should
be strongest in those who are most re-
fined and most trained in intellectual
fastidiousness. Philistinism and shoddy
do not like the woods, unless it becomes
fashionable to do so, then as speedily as
possible they introduce their artificial
Injuries, and reduce the life in the will
derness to the vulgarity of well fed
picnic. 1t is they who have strewn the
Adirondacks with paper-colIars and tin
cans. The real enjoyment of camping
and tramping in the woods lies in a re-
turn to primitive conditions of lodging,
dress and food-in as total an escape as
may be from the requirements of civil
izatiOn. And it remains to be explained
why this is enjoyed most by those who
are most highly civilized. It is wonder
full to see how easily the restraints
of society fall off. OF course, it is not
true that courtesy depends upon clothes
with the best people, but with others be-
havior hangs almost entirely upon dress.
Many good habits are easily got rid ofin
the woods. Doubt sometimes seems to
be felt whether Sunday is legal holiday
there. 1t becomes question of casuis-
try with clergyman whether he may
shoot at q mark on Sunday if none of
his congregation are present. He in
tends no harm; he only gratifies curl
osity to see if he can hit the mark.
Where shall he draw the ineP Doubtless
he might throw q stone at a chiPmunk,
or shout at loon. Might he fire at
mark with an air-gun that makes no
noise? He will not fish or hunt on Sun
day-although he is no more likely to
catch any thing on that day than on any
other-but he may eat trout that the
guide has caught ON Sunday, if the
guide swears he caught them Saturday
night! Is there such a thing as a vaca-
ton in religions How much of our yir-
tue do we owe to inherited habits ?. .....
BY the time twilight falls the cook
has prepared supper. Every thing has
been cooked in tin pail and skillet
potatoes, tea, pork, mutton, fapjacks.
You wonder how every thing could have |
been prepared in so few utensils. When |
you eat the wonder ceases; every thing
might have been cooked in one pail. It
is noble meal, and is nobly disposed /

Language of the Hair.

All of our features have their Ian
glage-eyes, nose and mouth. And
now some one discovers that even the
hair has its own indications.
Straight, lank. stringy-looking hair
indicates weakness and cOwardice.
Curly hair denotes quick temper.
Frizzy hair, set on ones head as if
each individual hair was ready to fight
its neighbor, denotes coarseness.
Black hair indicates persistent resolu-
ton in accomplishing an object-also a
strong predisposition to revenge wrong
and insults, real OF fancied.
Brown hair denotes fondness for life,
friendly disposition, ambition, earnest
ness OF purpose, sagacity for business,
reliability in friendship, in proportion
as the hair is fine. - 70
Very fine hair indicates an even dis
position, readiness to forgive, with de.
sire to add to the happiness of others.
Persons with fine fght-brown or au-
burn hair, inclined to curl or frizz, are
quick-tempered, and are given to re-
sentiment and revenge.
Light-brown hair, inclined to redness,
with a freckled skin, is said to be q GER
tain indication of deceit, treachery and
a disposition to do something mean by
friend who can no longer be used to
advantage.

SAYS the Louisville Courier-Jouynal, of
late date: "Mr. Henry NJ. Lowenstein, of
the firm of Lowenstein & Bros, Memphis,
Tennessee, was married last night to Miss
Rosa Nahm, daughter of Mr.. L. Nahm, of
this city. The ceremony was performed by
DIR. Hlrsch, the rabbi of the Jewish temple,
at the residence of the brides father, on Sew
enth street, and was witnessed by the special
friends and relatives of the parties. The par
lor In which the service was performed was
richly decorated with plants and flowers, and
the hymeneal altar breathed forth sweet in
censetfrom its beautiful floral adjoining. An
incident worthy of note in the marriage
service, which may be regarded as an inno-
walton of some interest in the ceremony of
the Jewish church, was the omission of the
wine and the substitution of an exchange of
rings, with the mutual VOW of love and con-
stancy. A large number of costly and hand
some presents to the bride attested the es-
TEEN in which she is held by her numerous
admiring friends. After the ceremony the
happy couple repaired to Wedekind hall, and
were seated with their friends at the marriage
feast Music and dancing were employed in
the further celebration of the nuptials, and
at the close the bridal party retired to their
apartments at the Louisville hotel. Mr.. Low

TIE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
The dwelling OF the Monument and
Decoration Day to be Celebrated
Wednesday, june 9Th The
Confederate Committee
sticks TO the Change
OF Date.

The following communication is sufficient
ly explanatory without further comment.
The committee may have committed an error
IN changing the day, but the error is now ir-
reparable, as it were:
EDITORS APPEAL-The committee having
charge of the decoration and unwilling of the
Confederate monument have noticed, with
regret the several communications, and, in
some instances; unkind criticism upon their
action as to the day for these ceremonies.
They had, and have, no personal inclinations
and preferences as to the day. Their only
desire has been to make the arrangements as
perfect as possible to insure the convenient
and pleasant attendance of the greatest num-
Der. With this view they at first appointed
Sunday, June I'd, as the day. But they soon
found that this day did not meet the approval
of very great number of people. Many of
the committeeman, and some of the most eff
fcient, declined to participate if Sunday was
selected. The Pastors ASSOCIATION protested;
many ex-Confederates, some poor, some rich
begged that the day be changed. 1t was
found the railroad would not run a special
car on that day-that 1t would be impossible
for the people from the country to attend
then. Up to this time those in favor of this
day had not advised with the committee OF
rendered them any assistance In determining
what day was most advisable. Under these
circumstances the day was changed to
standing contracts have been made for the
various arrangements. The day has been
published abroad, and many persons at a
distance have been especially invited for that
day. Under these circumstances they feel it
is now too late to make change. They SUBJ
NIT that this is not an occasion for criticism,
unkind words, or recrimination; that there
is too much of qualification that the monu-
ment is finally to be completed and this long
delayed Justice done our dead, and that there
is too much of sad remembrance and holy
duty in the coming day for US. especially ex-
Confederates, now SO few and all really bound
in the ties of strongest sympathy and misfor-
tune, to differ about the day; and they hum
bly, beg that all will acquiesce in the day ap-
pointed and assist in making it what it
should be, brotherly meeting over brothers
graves. We especially beg them having in
their employ those who would wish to attend
to allow them to do so on that day.

there will be not less than

attempts at.w1re- pulling, but all have proved

The strength of the candidates at
present is extremely enigmatical. All
the candidates are considered out in the field,
with no particular favorite to bet on. About
one fourth of the delegates have been in
strncted. After voting III accordance with in
structioDs, their votes will by scattered, and
no county will vote as unit. East Tennes-
see, as usual, has come down solid for
M Farland and Deaderick the only two can
dIdates from that end OF the State, with a
slight preference, perhaps In favor of Dead
erick if it Us decided East Tennessee
shall have but one candidate. Middle and
West Tennessee, are divided On Cochran,
Morgan, Jackson, Sneed, Freeman. Lea, Tur-
ney, Cooper, Turner. Burton, jones and
Campbell, and Ii is SO hard to tell which has
the greatest sire agth that no one ventures to
express an opini IN upon ii. All agree that
the proceedings of the convention will be
unusually exciting, IN consequence Of the
conflicting canc idatorial interests, and it
is not improbable that the convention
may require two days for the performance of
its work. The Shelby county delegation held
a meeting tonight to talk over the situation,
but did nothing more. Leading Republicans
assert that if good selections are made for
the supreme bench that party will put no
candidates In the field. The State Demo-
cratic executive committee will meet imme-
diately after the adjournment of the conven-
ton, and call the gubernatorial convention.
ALI the members of the committee are here
except Luke E. Wright and Moses.
Associated Press Dispatch.l
NASHVILLE, May 28.-The hotels are
thronged with delegates to the Democratic
State convention, which meets tomorrow, to
nominate five candidates for the supreme
bench. In point of numbers and intellect,
it is the most notable convention held In this
State for years. There are fifteen candidates
for the nominations, five of whom are the
members of the present supreme court. The
situation Is too unsettled at present for spec
ulation as to the result.
