An Astonished Tennesseap.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Judge
Harrison, of Tennessee, delegate at
large to Chicago, is in the city. He
is an ardent Grant man, but not dis
posed to carry his preferences TO
extreme limits. He says he is as
tonished at the development of the
anti Grant feeling which he meets
everywhere among republicans.
He says there was a great deal more
of it in the Tennessee convention
than he expected. All the Grant pa.
pers have been placing the Tennessee
delegation as eighteen for Grant, but
Judge Harrison says the true number
is but sixteen. He seems a good deal
discouraged at the outlook at Chicago,
as he has been a stalwart Grant man
from the first.

Mr.. and Mrs. Deioe sat before .

What Is it, dear?n she responded
Say, we've got tired of playing
games, and what do you say to private
theatricals?"

"Why, we'll get three or four of the
neighbors to join us, and we'll meet al
each others houses and have regular
plays"
That will be splendid" she gasped.
Hanged if it won't. Wonder we
never thought of it before. Twenty
dollars will get us all the scenery we
want, and each one san furnish his
own wardrobe. By guml we've got

What sort Of a play could we

and down with tragic step.

he stopped short. Don't you remem-

bring it out. Now let's see how the
characters run. There is the Count
Dumdof, who was in love with Ger
aldine the fair. I'll be the count, of
course, as he is the hero. He kills
four men, reseues Geraldine from sew
eral dangers, and there is good deal
of kissing and love-making and a
happy marriage"
And I'll be Geraldine"
"Youl Oh, you couldn't play that
part. She must be young and vivic-

"Oh, no, you can't my love. You

Then thereTl be two Geraldines Of

The CamerOnian Lip.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Don Cam.
eron is back from Pennsylvania. and
says that the detection in the delepa-
ton is not very serious. Those who
knew the inside of Pennsylvania poll
tics say that McManus' rebellion is
entirely selfish; that he aspires to be
boss of Philadelphia, and was not
pleased with the idea that Drexel and
Childs should again control the fed.
eral patronage there. He insisted,
therefore, thathe should have promise
OF control Of patronage, or he would
refuse to vote for Grant. Cameron
may have given him his price, and
therefore speaks by the book when he
says there will be no serious detection
in the Pennsylvania delegation at
Chicago. 1t is fair to say, however,
that he is reported not to speak CON
hdently to those who enjoy his conf,
dence, The Grant men are also
claiming that none Of those who have
threatened a bolt in New York will
do as they have said, and that no ono
but Judge Robertson will vote fol
Blaine. 1t is generally believed
however, that there is a vast quantity

The Hour When Earth Siirs in
Her Sleep---A Miners Ex-
perience.

The Eureka, New Leader of
of April 18th, relates a miners expe-
%rience, showing that earthquake
shocks are not felt very far below the
surface Of the ground. This miner
said that on the occasion of the last
shake at Secret Canon, he was at work
on a mine on Prospect Mountain.
and although the tremor was plainly
felt by his partners on the surface, he
at a depth of eighty feet noticed moth
ing unusual. He also said that through
an experience of fifteen years under
ground he had observed one very
peculiar fact-that between the hours
Of twelve and two o'clock at night, il
there was a loose stone or a bit OF
earth in a mine it was sure TO fall.
Said he: About this time it seems
that everything begins to stir, and
Immediately after twelve, although
the mine has been as still as a tomb
before you will hear little particles o.
rock and earth coming tumbling down
and if there is a caving piece of grount
in the mine it is sure to give away"
