THE MIKADO8 FAMILY

Gen. Grant interviewed the Emperor
of Japan, at the Palace of Euriokwan,
on the 18TH of August The circum-
stance that an ex-President of the Uni
ted States should converse with the
chief of friendly nation is not in itself
an important event. But, says the n. Y
HeraLd's correspondent, when you con-
slider the position of the Emperor among
his subjects, the traditions of his house
and his throne, you will see the value of
this meeting and therevolution it makes
in the history of Japan. The imperial
family is, in descent, the most ancient
in the world. 1t goes back in direct
line to $50 years before Christ. For
more than twenty-five centuries this line
has continued unbToken, and the present
sovereign is the 123d of his line. The
position of Mlkado has always been
unique in Japan. For centuries the en-
perors lived in seclusion at Kiyoto. The
Mikado YES a holy being. No one was
allowed to lock upon his face. He
had no family name, because his Gynas-
ty being amending he needed none.
During his life he was revered as god.
When he died he was translated into
the celestial presence. Within ten years
it was not proper that even his sacred
name should be spoken. That is now
permitted, but even now you cannot
buy photograph of the MikadO. 1t is
not proper that his subjects should look
upon his face. When nc first received
a foreign ambassador lin 1869 his Prime
Minister knelt at his, side while his
mobiles sat around en- mats where they
could not see hiul

ORITUARX.

MARIAN J. HARRIS, daughter of Col
John d. Mcfarland, and wife of Dr.
Champion S. Harris, was born near
Wits Foundry, Jefferson (now Ham
blenl county, Tennessee, on the 9th day
of August, 1912; was married on the
26th or June, 1898, and converted to
God at the old Sulphur Spring camp
ground, near where she was born, about
the year 1886; Joined the Methodist
Church at the same time, and fell asleep
in Jesus on the 10th of August, 1879,
and was buried at Panther Springs,
where she had been a faithful member
of the church for 43 years. Much might
be said of this good woman. She was
an atfectiOnate wife and mother; kind
neighbOr, good to the poor, loved God,
loved the Church, was a liberal sup.
porter of the cause of God; many a
weary itineraRt found a resting place at
her house and partook of her hospltali-
ties, and will feel sad at the announce
ment of her death. But it is a cOnsol-
ing thought that, although the Church
and her friends have suffered n great
loss, heaven is much richer. We learn
that she often led the devotiOns around
the family altar, and was for many years
a teacher at the Sulphur Springs camp
ground, where she had no doubt wit
messed the convention of hundreds of
souls-many of whom had preceded her
to the celestial city and were waiting
and watching at the beautiful gate when
she arrived. How thankful we ought
10 be that such WOmgp as sister HAIR
RIs ever lived to be d light In the Church
and in the world. 1t is a little remark
able that all of her family brothers and
sisters, who had preceded her, died sud
denly. So with sister HARRIS. Al
though she had been in bad health for
yaara her fn9l exit was very sudden and
unexpected. 1t was on Sunday morn
ing; she was sitting up talking very
cheerfully with her daughter, Mrs.
Whitesides, who had gone down from
MOrristown expecting to bring her
mother home with her. She complained
of feeling little sick, walked to her
bed, laid down, and in a few moments
she seemed to jerk her head 10 one side
and Instantly, without q Struggle or .
groan, the lamp of life went out, aud
the angels carried her spirit away to the
sunbright cline. She leavcs behind 10
mourn her loss her husband, bordering
on his four score years, a son and daugh-
ter, and five grand children. May they,
and all of her friends, be prepared to
meet her in heaven.

THE TOURNAMENT AND BAIL.

In accordance with the announce
ment made previously, the grand tour
nament came off in this place last Fri
day. It being the first entertainment
or display Of hOrsemanship of this kind
that has ever taken place IN Hamblen
county, there was naturally a very
large crowd attracted to witness IT.
The knights consisted of the following
gentlemen: E. L. Moore, VIM. Barton,
Ben. Richardson, VIM. MOtfett, John
Maves, F. B. Mitchell, VIM. Mcfarland,
w. E. Howell, w. B. Nelson, Geo; An
derson. Geo. Mcfarland, Andy Fulton,
Dave MoAmis - thirteen in all. Al.
though most of the young men had
made but little preparation in the way
of practice for the event, the riding was
quite creditably performed; the J6te of
taking the rings, however, was not as
good as was anticipated, owing no doubt
to the nOn-pFactiGe of the riders. The
successful contestant for the first prize
a beautiful cameo finger Ting-was our
Young friend, Will Mcfarland, who
relieved the hooks of seven rings-tWO
more than any of the other contestants.
The SECOND, third and fourth prizes-con-
slsting a beautiful crown and two lovely
wreaths with the privilege of GROWING
the queen of love and beauty and her
maids of honor were awarded to Messrs.
VIM. Barton, Geo. Mcfarland and f.
B. Mitchell. The coronation took place
at the public school building at night
and was largely attended. After few
remarks, appropriate to the occasion,
by DIR, r. B. Owens OF orr town, the
successful knights stepped forward
with their laurels and conferred the dis
distinguished honors-Miss Lude Kyle
receiving the crown and Misses AddIe
Galbraith and Katie Donaldson the
wreathG, After the coronation cere-
monies the gayRr portion OF she crowd
wendell their way TO the Cain House,
where everything was in a hustle, in
contemplation Of the grand browning
event of the day-the dance. To say
that the light fantastic toe was tripped
would be tame. Never before have We
seen such a large assemblage of enthusi-
astic lovers of this delightful amuse-
ment mingling together in Morristown.
At IL o'clock the dance was at its zenith.
and to an outsider standing upon the
threshold of the glistening floor, the
evanescent kaleidoscope panorama pre-
sent1d was indeed dazzling. The COS
tunes of many of the ladies displayed
a richness combined with good taste
and simplicity that, if possible, made
their appearance more angelic than ever.
The festive time was continued until
about 4 o'clock in the morning-the
wee sma' hours-and even at that
time was reluctantly abandoned by
many. To Maj. Tom. Cain and his bet
ter half too much credit cannot be CIV
en- for the manner in which the hop was
conducted throughout. All in all the
tournament and the incidents of the day
made successful and pleasant affair,
and it was enjoyed, we believe, by "all
hands"

As TO oUININE.


AS Congress has taken the tariff
off of ouinine, it is thought by many
that hereafter that much-needed
drug will be entir ely given TO the peo-
pie. if not nearly given away, sold at
figures far below what it has cost for
many years. The dealers all along
have battIed against this idea. and
tried to prevent the tariff from being
taken off by Congress. As the price
of quinine is regulated by the mar
ket as is all other products, by the
supply and demand. we subjoin the
following from a circular from
Arthur. Peter & Co., Louisville, KY
to the trade for the purpose of CIV
ing their views to our readers on the
subject:
Quinine, as was expected by those
who have given the matter thoughtful
consideration, has been very much excl
ted since the repeal of the duty on 1t,
and is now held at higher in place OF
lower price. The markets abroad have
advanced and it would cost about $3.50
to land best English brands. This mat
ter of repeal of tariff duty on quinine
has been rushed through Congress with
out debate, and the cry of ''free quinine"
haying been taken up by the newspapers
so generally, that legislation was unduly
forced along. 1t seems to be generally
known that Qulnine is now made abroad
almost entirely, from East India Bsrks
which pay teR per cent. advalorem duty
as coming from East OF the Cape Of
Good Hope (all imports from beyond
this point pay this duty. European
moLers too lave the beneht Of free mate
riais used in its manufacture, so to pr!
American manufacturers in position to
comrete with foreign manufacturers
they should have all barks free and free
materials to use in its manufacture.
| Powers & Weightman have, since the
repeal of the duty, signifed their deter
mfnation to close their factory. We
suppose the other makers of Quinint
will speedily follow. Thus with the
production contracted, and the system
of protection through contracts as aftor
ded by them destroyed, wild speculation
will take advantage of every excessive
demand.

Conductor Elmore, one of the popular
and efficient conductors on the freight
train On the main line, met with
a little vexatious accident in this town
last Wednesday which will be apt to
linger in his memory for many a day to
come. Considerable switching had been
made at the depot in taking off cars and
putting others on to the train. This ex-
traOrdinary run of switching no doubt
confused the conductor and m2da him
forget at the time just how many cars
he had and where he was to take them
Tue signal was given, and off
steamed the engine with good speed,
and everything apparently in apple-pie
order. After the elapse of several min
utes, the same train was seen TO back
back lively to the depot and couple on
passenger COACH well filled with pas
sengers that had been left and to pull
out again for all intermediate points up
the road. The mistake was not discov-
cred until the train had nearly reached
Russellville. But you can bet Archy will
keep his peppers skinned in the future.

All contributions for Memphis con-
signed to DIR. Porter will be sent with
out charge over the East Tennessee, Vir-

This is q commendable act on the part
of the gentleman referred to. He has
shown his interest in more ways than
one in the stricken city of Memphis. BY
the way, has there been any organized
action with reference to sending materl-
al relief to the Memphis sufferers? Have
the churches done anything? Whatever
is done ought to be done without delay
