AN INTERVIEW WITH MIR.
KEY.
He declines the GoVernOrship,
but not the Yice-PresideneY.

He declines the GOVernOrship,
but not the Vice-Presidency.
BUFFALO. N. Y, August 19.-The
Commercial Advertiser publishes an
interview with Postmaster General
Key at Niagara Falls yesterday. Re-
ferring to rumors of his candidacy
as Governor of Tennessee by the
anti imitation Democrats and Repub-
Leans, he said: This same idea
has been advanced before in practi-
cally the same shape. but I have
never given it any serious thought,
as have never aspired to be Cover
nor of Tennessee" AS to his being
associated with General Grant on the
Presidential ticket in 1880 his first
intimaticn oft was in the press dis
patches of this morning. His an
swer was equivocal-that they would
have to find something great deal
worse to say before making him very
argry. With reference to Southern
politics, he said that the tendency Of
the Democracy was towards an ex-
elusive legalteuder currency and re-
pudiation that the greenback move
ment would make no progress at
the South outside of the Democracy;
that the success of the Southern
Democracy in national affairs would
doubtless result in a repeal of the
Resumption act and a general de-
moralization of the financial situa-
ten. AS to South Carolina especi-
ally, he looked for fair election,
and generally throughout the South.
and for Republican gains in Con-
gressmen not anticipated in the
North. Regarding Southern war
claims he did not think the awards
would be greatly increased in case
of Democratic control of the Govern
ment, as they were based on repre-
sensations of loyalty during the war,
and nearly all those who are willing
to make affidavit of loyalty have
done so.

General, his wife and two daughters,

True. Very True.

The following article is from the
Hopkinsville (Ky.) Ne,0 Era, and is
net only sensible talk but is strickly
true:
The man who deserts the ranks
OF the Democracy when his party is
swiftly marching triumphantly to
power and will soon have control of
every branch of the National gov
eminent, IN order to join helpless
band whose sole purpose is to un-
dertal1e the work of financial reform
that was inaugurated and is being
successfully prosecuted by the Dem
ocratic party. is personally commit
ting political suicide. There is no
probability that the National Green
back party will, even under the most
favorable auspicea, acquire sufficient
strength within the next ten years
to effect the legislation Of the coun.
try, and as the Democratic party has
avowed and reiterated its devotion
to the greenback cause. the success
of that cause can only be accom-
plished through the fundamentally
of the Democratic organic alton.
Unreasoning men may not choose
to see. and conform their actions
to the logic of the facts, but it will
nevertheless be sustained by the
result of future politica! contests.

He grumbles in the morning
On rising from his bed,
He grumbles at his breakfast
While spreading butter on his bread.
He grumbles at his napkin,
He grumbles at his knife,
He grumbles at his tablecIoth,
He grUmbles at his wife.
He grumblers at his paper
While he's reading DER the news,
He grumbles at the cObbler
When he buys pair of shoes.
He grumbles at the clock
When it strikes out the hour,
And he grumbles at the 'deluge"
When there comes little shower.
He grumbles at the children
When they're playing in the street,
He grumbles at the butcher
At the way he cuts the meat.
He grumbles at his little dog,
If it only ways its tail,
And when the wind but gently blows,
He grumbles at the "gale."
He grumbles when bill comes in,
No matter how very small,
He grumbles at the servants,
He grumbles at us all.
He grumbles at the darkness
When he has to light the gas,
He grumbles at the matches,
The unhappy grumbling ass.
He grumbles at the prices,
He grumbles at his stocks,
He grumbles at the summer
When the sun is rather warm,
And he grumbles at the ''winter"
Every time we have a storm.
He grumbles at a question,
He grumbles at a smile;
AT church, he grumbles at the people
Who are standing in the aisle.
He grumbles at his daughter
When she wants little money,
And he grumbles when she laughs
At anything that's funny.
He grumbles at rich man,
He grumbles at the poor,
He grumblcs at the beggars
When they knock upon his door.
He grumbles at the rent-day
When the landlords to be paid,
He grumbles in the sunshine,
He grumbles in the shade.
He grumbles at his neighbor
When he's getting in his coal,
He grumbles at the cartman
Who dumpt it down the hole.
He grumbles at wagon
If it stands before the door,
And he grumbles at crumb of bread
If it falls upon the floor.
He grumbles in his little room,
He grumbles on the stairs,
He grumbles all the way to church,
He grumbles after prayers,
He grumbles in his sleep
While he's lying in his bed,
And often fancy to myself
He'll grumble when he's dead.

When the melon begins to change
color inside, and its seeds TO turn
black, small black speck, scale or
blister begins to appear on the outer
cutticle, or rind. These are multi.
piled and enlarged as the fruit ma
lures. A ripe melon will show them
thickly sewn over the surface. A
partial development only indicates
half ripened fruit. A full crop of
blisters reveals its perfect ripeness.
When hundreds of melons are strewn

look pretty sharply to find one that
exhibits satisfactory ''escutCheon,"

But it is unfailing when found, and
by following this guide you may

MIXED MATRIMONY.
A Mississippi Planter who Mar
ried His Daughter-in-LaW.


st. Louis Times.
T A gentleman who arrived from
Cafro, yesterday. furnished Times
reporter with the particulars of a
rather romantic affair in the matri.
monial way, which occurred there on
the Esd, during the informant's brief
stay at the st. Charles Hotel. Mr..
Alfred Boyce. OF Chickasaw. Miss.
q respectable looking gentleman of
IS years. or whereabouts, arrived and
registered. He was accompanied
by lady, whom he represented as
his niece. She. was apparently 25.
and blooming as q rose. Soon after
his arrival. Mr.. Boyce took the pro-
prietor into bis confidence. He de-
sired to marry the lady who accom-
panied him, and she was willing
enough. Unfortunately the laws
in Mississippi in relation to consan.
guiAity barred the proposed alliance.
The lady was none other than the
widow of his late son. who departed
this life about two yeare ago. He
went to the county court clerk at
Chickasaw, a few weeks ago, and
procured license for the proposed
marriage. Afterward the clerk sent
him work in great haste that the
license would have to be revoked,
as he had discovered that the laws
OF Mississippi did not permit we'd
lock between parties bearing such
relationship. Mr.. Boyce is a very
respectable gentleman, owning a
couple Of plantations, and standing
high in his community. Nothing
was further from his intentions than
the assumption Of relations which
the laws Of his State would not per-
NIT. He put legal friend to work
looking up the statutes. and found
that the law was similarly strict in
other Southern States. Finally az
ter good deal of inquiry, it was
learned that the statutes of Illinois
were more lax than those of most OF
the States, and to Cairo came Mr..
BOyce with the lady he wished to
make his wife. The case. briefly
put, was laid before the County
Clerk OF Cairo. and he promptly in
formed the planter that nothing stood
in the way OF a wedding. The
license was issued and the marriage
took place at the st. Charles, with
Mr.. E. R. Egnew. proprietor OF the
st. Charles, and Mr.. Thos. NalIy. |
