The Statue Of Goethe.
London Daily News

London Daily News.l
In Berlin, rich in monuments as it
is, more so, probably, than any other
capital, the greatest German of mod
ern times, and for whom it is difficult
to find a match in earlier periods
Goethe-was hitherto not honored by
a statue. True, he had lived in Frank
fort and Weimar, and not in Berlin,
and besides, he was neither a king
nor a general. Since she has, how
ever, become the seat of empire, the
capital of Mark Brandenburg has felt
that is due to her position and honor
able for herself to raise monument
in memory of the immortal bard. The
same Thiergarten which has late
ly been decorated by a capital
statue to Queen Louisa, the EN-
peror Williams mother, made by
Enke, was destined to receive Goethe
under its shade. In view Of the royal
family the veil fell to-day, and an ad-
miFable marble groupe, by Fritz Seha-
per, revealed itselfto the distinguish
ed and numerous assemblage, the
prince Of poets appearing surrounded
BY three beautiful female figures, rep
resenting lyric and dramatic poetry
and science, each accompanied by q
child or youth, either a genius or
Eros himself, as chief inspirer Of lyric
poetry. Schaper is the original and
consummate artist, 80 years old, to
whom Cologne owes its Bismarck,
Hamburg its Lossing, and who SIS
working at twenty feet high statue
of Victory for the Hall of Fame in
the Berlin arsenal. Tourists coming
to visit the international fishery ex.
hibition will have an attractive new
sight in the Goethe statue, not to
mention the casts from Olympus and
the magnificent freize excavated by
Human in Pergamum, to which /
desire to draw your readers attention,
venturing to say that no museum in
Europe, except that containing the
Elgin marbles, has anything to com
pare with this marvellous work Of
Greek art, the fragments Of which are
now being put together Sienering,

TURN OUT rO.N1GHT.

Addressing the democratic people
of Memphis, we say go to the primary
meeting this evening at 8 o'clock.
Turn out, use your influence to select
good men as delegates, and show to
those who usually do the drudgery of
the party, that you take an interest in
the general welfare of the community,
and that you will lend moral aid and
active support to secure a proper
administration Of public affairs.
Turn out, you easy-going demo
Gratis, and encourage the boys |
Turn out, you taxpayers, who
furnish the sinews of war. Turn out,
you mechanics and laboring men, who
form the solid basis of society and
good order. Turn out, all who de.
sire to retain their homes or build up
homes and business here. This is a
crisis in the history of affairs in
Shelby county. A danger confronts
us which is almost as much to be
dreaded as another epidemic. Bad
men have united to seize
upon one Of the most i'm
portant county offices. We have
had enough of ofmisrule, corruption and
defalcation to know the evil thereof.
The time has come when the good
people Of this county must set the
stamp of their condemnation upon the
cormorant hordes who, when in Office,
regard it as their personal property
and the people as their servants. Let
us avoid the mistakes, the divisions
and failures of the party and see to it
that the better elements of society,
the hard working, law-abiding people
are not run over, inundated and
robbed by reckless set of trafiicing
politicians. Turn out tonight and
elect your most thoughtful prudent
and fair minded men as delegates to
the county convention.

THE ratification meeting last night
was an enthusiastic success, indica-
ting popular beliefin the principles
represented by Hancock, and the ut
most confidence that the democratic
ticket will be elected, The speaking,
which was kept up until late hour,
was interspersed with music, the firing
of cannon, and a liberal display Of
fire works. The great body of the
crowd remained almost until the last,
and listened to the speakers with the
most respectful and patient attention.
The demonstration was worthy of
great occasion, worthy of Memphis
and made very happy impression.
The democrats all over the country
have taken the offensive, and put
their opponents on the defensive. All
indications point to sweeping victory
in November. Memphis will come up
solid with as big a majority as we have
had in years.

THE WATER QUESTION.

We see it stated that a committee
has been appointed by the water
works company, to take into consider
alton three questions Of interest to
the people of Memphis: First, in
creasipg the engine power and pump
ing capacity Of the works; second, the
practicability of a supply Of water
from the Mississippi river; third, the
best system of reservoir filtration.
This suggests a few observations
which we have intended all along to
Amake at the proper time. The water
question is all important to the people
of this city. Good well water is out
ofIthe question, and pure cistern water
might be classed almost with the
unattainaSle things. The people are
therefore dependent on the one water
workscompany. The supply heretofore
has been over sufficient, but not of a
quality to give satisfaction. The
events Of the past two or three years
have awakened a great interest in san
itation, and particular attention has
been directed to the water supply.
The present company is composed of
our own citizens, and when they
bought the works and promised to i'm
prove the quality of the water, we
thought, and do yet, that they should
have ample time to ascertain what
methods were the best, and to put
them in operation. They are taking
their time, but we hope, making all
possible progress. We have never
admitted that Wolf river could bo
made to answer all public purposes,
and we are more than ever convinced
thatit will never, under any process,
give general satisfaction. The best
water and the natural supply is that
Of the Mississippi river. Is is we'll
known fact that whalers aud other
vessels going to sea on long voyages,
will 90 greatly out of their way to OBJ
tain a supply of this water. 1t is al
most as good in its natural state, as
Wolf river water can be made by
filtration Third best" or tenthbest,
Wolf river water will not answer for
this city. The company need not be

Wash. Special to Gin. Commercially
A lady writing from White SULPHUR
Springs says she put the question point
blank to Senator Cameron whether he
intended to accept the chair
manship Of the republican
campaign committee, and he
replied with emphasis that he would
not. This is cOroborative of other
information, and it IS clear that Gen
eral Garfield and his friends will have
to give up their hopesin that direction.
Garfield was particularly anxious that
Cameron should be chairman. but it is
now considered as settled here that
Cameron will put in a quiet summer,
and not work himself into perspira
tion over politics. From White Sui.
phur he goes to Newport, and in fact
has mapped out campaign of rest for
himself, and seems quite Indifferent
to the welfare of. his beloved country.
There are whisperings here that the
Grant leaders will sulk during the
campaign, and that Cameron is lead
ing off in that direction. 1t is said to
be plausible that had Grant been
nominated Cameron would have run
the campaign through on high pressure
and rested afterward, and that his
money and his time would have been
at the service of the party. His
course causes a good deal of anxiety
among Pennsylvania republicans, for
the withdrawal of Cameron's activein-
fuence and campaign money would
make that doubtful state against
Hancock.

HOW DEACON SMITH CoURTED
THE WIDOW.

The Deacon 8 wogon stopped one
morning before Widow Jones door,
and he gave the usual country sign
that he wanted somebody il the
house, by dropping the reins aud
sitting double, with his elbows on his
knees Out tripped the widow, as
lively as a cricket, with a tremen,
dous black ribbon on her snow white
cap Good morning, was soon
said on both sides, and the widow
waited for what was further to be
said.
well, Nam Jones, perhaps you
don't want to sell one of your cows,
now for nothing, any way do you p
well. there, Mr.. Smith, you
couldn't have spoken my mind bet
ter. A poor, lone woman like me
does not know what to do with so
many creturs, and should be glad to
trade, if we can fix it.
So~they adjourned over to the
meadow. Deacon Smith looked at
Roam then at the widow-at Brin>
dle-the widow-at the Downing
cow then at the widow again-and
so through the whole forty. The
same call was ma lie every day for
week, but the deacon could not de
eide which cow be wanted. At
length, on Saturday, when Widow
Jones was in hurry to get through
her baking for Sunday, and had
lever so much to do in the
house," as all farmers wives and
widows have on Saturdays, she was
a little impatient. Deacon Smith
was as resoute as ever:
That ere Downing COW is pre.>
ty fair cretur, said he. But he
stopped to glance at the widows face
and then walked around her-not
the widow, but the COW.
That ERE short horn Durham is
no: bad looking beast. But |
don't know another look at the
widow.
The Downing cow knew before
the late Nj. Jones bought her,
Here he sighed at the alIusion to the
late Mr.. Jones. She sighed and
they both looked at each other. 1t
was highly interesting moment
odd Roam is a faithful old milch~
COW and so is the Briodle--But |
have known better A long stare
succeeded this speech--the pause
was getting awkward and at last
Mrs Jones broke out
Lord Mr.. Smith, if I'm the
COW yon want, do say 80 !"
The intentions of the Descon and
the widow Jones were published the
next day.
