The Murphys.

The Eaton Murphys gave a cake and
ice cream festival at the Court House
Park on the evenings OF the 4th and 9Th.
There was a large crowd in attendance
both evenings. The eastern part of the
Court House yard was beautifully illum-
mated with Chinese lanterns, and at
times with red, white and blue lights,
which rendered the scene one of pictur-
esque beauty. We do not know the
amount realized, but are informed there
was a handsome sum realized by the
managers. 1t has become customary for
people from the country to gather in
town on these beautiful evenings, and
they form a very welcome addition to the
social gatherings of our people, and some
of our rude boys and girls could learn a
lesson in good manners from the gentle
manly and ladylike department of some
of the Sons and daughters of our intelli-
gent farmers, who are always gladly re-
ceived on such occasions.

Some are very large and some are small
maids, and they are all older than they
want to be. The exact time when they
become old maids is not known; some
get ripe sooner than others. l don't like
old maids because they can hide pre-
serves so a boy can't find them. If my

to Leadville. Old maids are good for
some things. They can tell you which
doctor to send for when you get sick, and
they know how many drops OF paregoric
to give a boy in cucumber time. Old
maids don't get married easy and don't
like children well enough to sleep in the
middle in hot weather. They can't dance
because they have no partner to balance.

A member of the State legislature

of the State of Tennessee, and at
present a representative of that State
in the senate of the United States.
Such is the record of the public ser
vice of Isham q. Harris in a civil
capacity. This service began thirty
two years ago at the early age Of
twenty-nine, and now at the age of
sixty-one, with a ripe experience in
public affairs growing out of an event

he brings to the performance of his
senatorial duties a knowledge and ca
pacity which eminently fit him for a
proper discharge of the responsibilities
attached thereto. The wisdom, intel

pie of any community or State are
properly judged by the capacity and
standing of its public men, and tested
by this standard, the State of Tennes-
see and its people need have no appre-
hensiOn of the estimate which will be
formed of them in the person Of their
senior senator. At the breaking out
of the late war Governor Harris was
just entering upon his third guberna-
torial term, and when the people OF
Tennessee decided to appeal to the
dread arbitrament Of arms, he.
in pursuance of the public duty
which thereby devolved upon him,

GRANT AMI A E
The Ex-Presldent In Competition With a
California Wonder.

NJ. u. Conway's London Letter in Baltimore
Gazette
On the last day that he was in Lon
don General Grant came in COMPETE
ton with a beetle. 1t was a California
scarabeus, and | am bound to say
maintained its position with a good
measure of success. Most of us who
went to Minister Welsh's reception
had seen General Grant before, but
few, if any, had ever before seen a
handsome lady wearing for a decora-
tion a large FURNISHED live beetle.
The beetle, which was an inch and a
half long, was gold-rimmed by nature,
and around it the jeweler had fastened
a gold ring with a chain, at the end of
which was a pin. This being attached
to a large satin rosette, the brilliant
creature had a fine little field to wan
der over and display its coleopterous
attractions. The handsome lady
Mrs. Randolph Clay-took it off that
it might pass from hand to hand so
that all might know that it was a live
beetle. Around this silent Californian
there was a larger group than around
the silent ex-President. The lady
said the scarabeus had been in her
possession for six months and during
that time it had neither eaten nor
drunk anything, though refreshment
was often offered. 1t seemed to
live on air and its health was per-
feet. 1t may be that the Egyptians.

to the ~scarabeus, had observed
its ability TO live without earthly

ture, which had found its way from

had taken an humble tanner in the
Far West and brought him to be feted

Europe. There is one aspect of this
strange destiny Of Grant not without
its pleasant suggestions. Those who
have here paid him attentions exceed
ing those which have been accorded
to Americans greatly his superiors as a
man nave meant them as homage to a
great Republic. But there is an I'M
pleasant aspect Of it. SO far as the
tour of General Grant in Europe
might represent to it masses the
spirits andaims of his country, it has
been of as little value as the appear
ance among us of Mrs. Randolph
Clays %scarabeus. He has been the
luxuriously entertained guest of the
privileged classes against whom our
Republic is the historic protest. He
has had nothing to do with the COM
mon people. Even in Ireland he was
always among the powerful class.

have additionally looked to the
United States Republic as an almost

revolutions have had added olsen

Her father had died in November last,
and was buried by the Stonecutters'
Association, Her mother and a five
weeks-old sister had died shortly after,
and were buried in one coffin. Soon
after the funeral, the physician who
had attended her mother came with a
bill of twenty-five dollars for medical
attendance, and, as there was no money
to pay him, he had taken away the
furniture and clothing from the house.
He had taken not less than $500 worth
and left her nothing. Then the land
lady forsOok her and turned her into
the street, and she wandered about
until Mr.. DeVelde took her in and
gave her a home. The officer who
saw her failed 10 break her in her

the provisional government for
his department. He fulfilled
the difficult duties of the post with
such tact and moderation and so care
fully avoided compromising himself
in the quarrels Of the Republican fac
lions that he became the most popular
man in the Jura. In the election of
Of the assembly he was made
a vice president and a member Of the
Judiciary committee. He spoke often
and earned a high reputation as a de-
batter. He took an Independent posi-
ton, but as a rule voted with the ex-
IRENE left. He proposed that the ex-
eeutiye should be chosen by the ma
tional assembly and hold Office at its
pleasure, with the title of president of
the council of ministers, but the prop
osition was defeated by a vote Of CHS
to 1853.
After the presidential election of
December 10, NJ. Grevy opposed the
policy Of Louis Napoleon, and especi-
ally the expedition to Rome. He was
reelected to the corps legislatif, and,
without making common cause with
the Radicals, became one of the prin-
clpal opponents of the government.
He protested against the law of May
81, and opposed the revision of the
constitution. After the coup d'etat
of December, 1851, he gave himself
up entirely to the practice of his pro-
fession, and in 1868 he became baton
nier of the Order of Advocates. In
the same year, and again in 1869 and
1871, he was elected a member of the
corps legislatif. The election of 1868
vas the first since 1852 in which the
government had been completely
routed, and M. Grevy was then re-
turned by a majority so decisive that
at the ensuing election no official can
didate was opposed to him, and he re-
ceived e~ight-ninthS of the votes cast.
He was chosen president of the as
sembiy in March, 1871, and held that
position down to April, 1873, when he
declined the invitation of President
Theirs to serve longer in that capacity.
Ever since the establishment of the
Third Republic he has been looked
upon as the natural head of the con-
seryatiye republicanism Of France.

ENGLISH DISTRESS.
Dishonesty Has Much to do With TIA
General System Of Cheating.

London Cor. Chicago Journal
The immediate cause of the distress
among the operatives is the inability
of the masters to furnish them en-
ployment. But what has caused this
inability among the masters 2. This is
a question which there is a disposition
to shirk here, but is one that is easily
answered. The cotton manufacturers
of Lancashire have lost their suprem-
acy in this branch of the worlds trade,
and the fault is purely and entirely
their own, 1t is no longer against
wooden hams and nutmegs that the
wrath of foreign countries is directed,
but against the wretched stuff sent all
over the world in the shape of Man
chester cottons. 1t is idle to suppose
that the manufacturers themselves are
not the immediate sinners, for
their managers and foremen would
not think of sending out from
the factories such materials, if they
had not been first instructed by
their principals. The articles
of cotton must be wretched indeed
when the native Indian refuses to pur-
chase one that has the Manchester
stamp upon it, and yet this the native
Indians and Chinese have for some
time been doing. And when the very
women of Manchester themselves re-
fuse to purchase of their tradesmen
the cotton goods manufactured in their
own town, and insist on having Amer
lean cloth, it is evident that things
have come to a pretty pass. The fact
is that the Manchester manufacturers
have accumulated immense stocks of
which they cannot dispose, for the
simple reason that they are so bad
that nobody will buy them at any
price. The present condition ofthings
is due to their systematic dishonesty f;
but unfortunately the greatest suffer
ers are their workmen, for whom there
is no longer steady employment.
| do not believe there was ever a
country in the world where dishonest
p%ractices-in plain English, cheating
prevailed SC extensively as they now
do in Christian England. There is
not a tradesman or a mechanic OF
any sort who can be trusted. The
grocer sands his sugar and then gives
you short weight, and the baker
serves you with a substance composed
of anything but pure -four. Even

low price, and then make you pay for
it the extravagant price borne BY
native beef. From high to low. the
system prevails, and dishonesty is the
normal condition of the nation. These
are hard words, but they are true.
and everybody knows it. IF there is
such a thing as righteous retribution.
| am afraid that there is something
terrible in store for the country that
has boosted of its civilization and
Christianity.

New York Tribune.l
1t is singular that writer's and
speakers, contrary to the usual Amer
lean habit, have, almost without ex-
ceptiOn, understated the population of
the country for some years past.
Probably the nation is now growing
too modest, as it formerly was too
much inclined to Boosting. But those
who have occasion to refer to the
present population almost invariably
mention a number which the country
has undoubtedly passed several years
ago. 1t is customary to speak of the
population as about 44,000,0 600 or 49,
100000. But the calculations ofProf.
Elliott, of the census bureau. which
have thus far been singularly sus-
tanned by facts, give 1888, 900 as the
probable population July /, 1878. and
49,375,0O0 as the probable population
July |, 1879. These calculations.
based upon the principle of constant
second differences, give an increase of
about 81 per cent. for the decade
now approaching an end. They
are strongly confirmed by the census
taken in fifteen of the States by State
authority-during 1874 in Michigan.
during 1873 in Iowa, Kansas, Louisi-
ana, Massachusetts,, Minnesota. New
Jersey Nevada, New York. Oregon
Rhode Island, South Carolina and
Wisconsin, and during 1876 in Mis-
souri, and Nebraska. With allowance
for the unavoidable ineompleteness of
every census taken by defective State
machinery, it must be granted that the
actual increase for the whole country
in 1873 must have been at least as
great as the increase appeared in the
returns from these States Of the dates
named. The population of the fifteen
States in 1870 was li,6l0,636, and &C.
cording to the census taken by the
States about the middle of the decade.
il was 1868, 020, the gain being l6.1
per cent. in about five years, or at the
rate Of 1872 per cent. for the decade.
IL is, therefore, probable that the est
mate of Prof. Elliott will be realized.
