IT has leaked out accidentally in
Washington that the policy Of the
Republican party is to use money
freely in Ohio to prevent any coali-
tion between the Nationals and the
Democrats. Lee Crandall, who is
connected with a Washington Green
back paper, was sent to Toledo to use
his influence to prevent an indorse-
ment of General Ewing by the Ma
tional convention, and money is
to be used to freely support Green
back papers. We see by the
morning dispatches that General
Ewing was not indorsed, but that
a large meeting was held by those
who propose to support the Columbus
platform. The Hamilton county dele.
CATION, in a vote by themselves, re-
solved to support both Che platform
and ticket put l0rth at columbus, and
then the balance, who had refrained
from voting, adopted a resolution to
support the Columbus ticket but not
the platform. The meeting was an
exciting one, and the opera house
convention was characterized in bitter
terms as a sell-out to the Democrats.
The, masses who constitute the Ma
tional party are generally acting in
good faith, but the leaders are nearly
all men of strong Republican sympa-
thies, who are secretly in alliance with
and working indirectly for that party

MEMPHIs Am EER TuruRr

The people of Memphis may we'll
be proud Of the display and the cere-
monies, the life and activity which
prevailed yesterday at the laying of
the cornerstone of the custom-hou
The many strangers who were present
must have been favorably impressed
with the evidences Of vitality and
returning prosperity to be seen on
every hand, and expressed by
such large turn out of our
population. The parade and soldierly
bearing of local and visiting military
companies, the cheerful bearing Of
the well-dressed, orderly crowds which
thronged the streets, attests that
Memphis has yet an abundance of
commercial aud social life. and that
her people are resolute and
hopeful and united. Business
has rarely been so good at
this time Of the year, which is
best illustrated by the fact that eur
merchants continue to advertise liber-
ally in the daily newspapers. The
outlook is full Of hope and encourage
ment. The new city government works
admirably, and we are out of the reach
of mandamuses. The health of the
community was never better in the
summer time as the mortuary reports
every week testify. Not only have
we 40 sign of any epidemic diseases
but an absence OF ordinary summer
complaints such as we usually expect
every year. There is little for the
doctors to do and less for the under.
takers. Just at this time very oppor-
tunely appears highly favorable re-
ports from various towns and cities in
the Mississippi valley, received in rel
sponse to inquiries sent out by
Mr.. Barinds, eur energetic and
wide-awake Associated Press agent.
From these answers it appears
that the general health is good, and
that in many places strict sanitary
regulations have been enforced Peo-
pie have found out that it is cheaper,
in money and life, to prevent epidem-
les by timely precautions than to fight
them or run from them. On the health
question, therefore, we are all right
SO far, and hope, by the mercy and
favor of Divine Providence, to es-
cape safely through the summer.
1t looks as if we were about to enter
upon new and prosperous era, and
that Memphis in a few years will
stand forth in beauty and strength
one Of the most healthy, prosperous
and attractive cities in the Union.
We have great cause to be thankful
aud hopeful. Those who have visited
Memphis recently cannot fail to carry
back a good report, which shall assure
the world more fully than ever that
the sympathy and grand charities
lavished on us in the hour of calamity
were not undeserved or misplaced, and
that Memphis is full of expansive
energy and vital forces which will
make her more glorious in the future
than ever dreamed of in the past.

was looking for some of his hogs that
he had missed for several days, and
had neared the river, when he heard
a COW believing. Upon going to the
bank Of the river, and looking on the
opposite side. he saw, on a sand bar
an alligator, a COW and a young
calf The alligator had the COW aud

made dart for the calf, when the
COW rushed between them, and a
fearful fight ensued. While this was
raging the calf got into the woods

seven feet long, and struck at the
cow furiously with its tail The COW
avoided as many of the blows as
possible, but yet received quite a
number, one Of which Knocked her

alligator rushed upon her with open
mouth, and tried to seize her by the
nose, but che was up in time to catch
it upon the horn. under the throat,
aud threw it over backward, and be-
fore il could get another lick at her,
or defend itself, she was on it again
tossing it high into the air, when it
fell into the water with a splash, and
did not venture TO the land again.
The COW, after rushing around look
ing for her enemy, ran to her calf
aud made tracks through the woods
for home, looking back accasionlly
to see il she was pursued.
