him money.

Speaker Randall's Mother.


The widow of Josiah Randall died on
Saturday evening, and her funeral will
take place tomorrow. She had nearly
completed her seventy-seventh year.
Years ago, when the present generation
was in its swaddling clothes, the good
people of Philadelphia had a nine days
talk over the marriage of Josiah
Randall, then young lawyer and Jo-
seph Worrelps daughter. Worrell and
Randall had been boon companions.
Worrell well-to do in his trade as boss
carpenter. Randall well-to-do when
client was found to so far recognize his
ability as to place in his hand a retaining
fee. The intimacy of the men led to an
introduction of Randall into Worrell's
family.
The consequence-well, it was the old,
old story. "Josh" Randall loved "Joe"
WorrelPs daughter, and "Joe" Worrell's
daughter loved "Josh" Randall. The
stern parent objected to the match, and
an elopement followed. The winsome
daughter was reconciled to her father,
but no pleading, however loving could
bring together in good fellowship the
two men who had been erstwhile boon
companions. While the whole town was
agitated over the escapade, while friends

side were angrily arguing the right or
wrong of Josiah RandalPs act, the qlies.
tion of his good judgment in the selec.
tion of wife was settled by that wife
herself.
Forsaking father and family friends,
she like Ruth of old, placed her hands in
those of Josiah Randall, and in all the
confding nature of true and loving
woman syllabled: "Where thou goest I
will go; thy people shall be my people;
thy God my God, and where thou art
buried there will be buried ALSO" The
history of Josiah Randall, his success in
life, is too familiar in every household in
this city to need repeating. The family
that his wife has raised has proved the
match she made in opposition to her
family was we'll chosen. To-day around
her bier are grouped her sons, honored in
the law, the eldest, the Hon. Samuel J.
Randall, the chief officer of the highest
legislative body in the United States.

English Bedrooms.

The ordinary English bedroom is ar
ranged as follows, says Mrs. Julian Haw-
thorne in the Bazaar: The bed, hand
some spring and hair-mattressed (some-
times. alas! feather r-bedded) brass struc-
ture, stands with its head against the
wall, the foot projecting into the room;
around its feet sweeps a full valance;
and the half-tester, with its amply-fall-
ing, gracefully-festooned drapery, un-
doubtedly makes it more imposing OBJ.
ject, carrying the eye at once to the raj
son d'etre of the room. The windows
are fully draped to correspond, and a
sofa and one or two easy chairs show
that the room is intended to be occupied
by its owner at odd moments when rest
and quiet are desirable. Filling up the
largest space Of blank wall stands
mighty wardrobe, seven or eight feet long
and as high, divided into three compart-
ments, each having separate door, the
middle one generally containing full
length mirror. .s.
Across the window, if there be but
one, or if two, between them, is placed
the dressing-table. OF late this is some
time in the duchesse style, a long mirror,
with drawers on either side; but in the
most thoroughly English houses it is a
long deal table, the edge curved in vari-
Gus shapes, and draped to match the bed,
or with muslin and lace over colored
cambric; the mirror stands on top, and is
usually draped to match the table. These
tables are very pretty and cheap, as any
carpenter can make the table, and it is
easily made to look pretty by home fn-
gers. No such union Of drawers and
glass as the American bureau is known
in England, and their chest of drawers
is the ugliest piece of furniture in their
bedrooms. By dint of having book
shelves fitted over it, and using the
space in front Of them to hold pretty Or
naments and boxes, les stiffness can be
somewhat relieved.
The great double wash-stand, with top
and back Of blue or brown Minton tiles,
its quantity shaped toilet-ware of latest
fashion, sparkling water-bottles and
glasses, and porcelain slop-jar and foot
tup standing beneath it was very pretty
bit Of light and color in the room, though
anything but an agreeable object in the
eyes of an American, used to abundance
of hot and cold water at will. Lastly,

irons, tiled hearth, thick rug and shelves
and mirror above the brightly glowing
fire, completes the room. The chief diff
ference between middle class and an
arisiocratic bedroom lies in the wood of
which the furniture is made, in the more
or less brassiness of the bedstead, and in
the material of which curtains and drap-
cries are composeds the main outlines
and the arrangement are the same.

The wheat crop is not yet safe from
the ravages of the fly.
There seems to be lull in business,
not so active as week or so ago.
The peach crop in this section will be
heavier than it has been for years.
There will be music at the park to-

Fishing in the Kentucky River is said
to be very fine this season.
The excursion to Chattanooga on the

Raspberries are beginning to come
into market, and very fine crop is as
sured.
Messrs. Pepper & Co. have very nearly
finished their large distillery, and will

Young gentlemen, remember the game
law, protecting all kinds of game for the
next three years. A heavy penalty is i'm
posed for any violation of the law.
Farmers are complaining of moles.
The cool weather that we have been hav-

adapted to the ravages of all kinds of
insects and pests, of which the farmers
have more than their share.
DR.. John S. Wilson, one of our old
citizens, who has for some time been ell

the drug business at his old stand on
Cheapside.
We do not know of city that is more
beautifully shaded by beautiful and
thrifty shade trees than Lexington. But
some of the fine houses in Lexington,
while their yards are crowded with trees
and shrubbery, have no shade trees on
the sidewalk. This is hardly charitable.
At the meeting of the Council Thurs
day night Mr.. Graves presented eighteen

UTILIZATION on SILT.-Congrcss is
spending large sums of money annually to
dTedge the shoals and channels Of our
creeks aud rivers, to free them from the
deposit which obstu4sts navigation. This
deposit, commonly called sill, Is RIGA ip
feriiliziug qualities that might be utilized
aud made into valuable manure for the
growth Of wheat, corn, and other agricul.
tural products. The hstFeagth of the
hills has been washed into our rivers, aud
it may be taken thence by means OF the
dredgs and restored again to the barren
hill-tops. The shoals and maFshss Of the
Chesapeake and its tributaries contain a
vast mine Of wealth in the form Of silt,
which might be worked to as great pro-
ct as the oyster beds. The intelligent and
snserprising agriculturists should organize
company TO recover from the water
courses the rich deposits that have been
washed into then frow tiRs to time by

Democrats everywhere desire the nomi-
nation Of Grant at Chicago, believing that
If the Democrats can be successful at all
they can triumph over Grant. The An
rocArE holds the same view. IL has too
much faith 10 the honesty Of the masses
to believe that Grant, with the misdeeds
aud corruption Of his former administra-
ton 50 fresh in the public mind, can be
elected with even any tolerably good man
against him. The people reeollect the
horde Of eubezzlers, bribe-takers, default
ers aud swindIers with whom he surround
ed himself and appointed to Office, and
who again would be put in place aud power
were he to be elected; nor can they sup
port a man who disregards aud trnmples
upon tie practices and presidents set BY
Washingtoa, Jefferson and other founders
Of this great republic. But, when Grant
Is nominated, as il now seems probable
BE will be, Democrats aud conservative
voters must not sit quietly down expecting
an easy aud overwhelming victory. Grant
will be s,roug opponent, and hard work
must be done 10 secure his overthrow.
What he lacks in votes his managers and
hackers will sudearor to make W BY tricks
and fraud They began the work of has-
ing him nominated BY fraud, and the prae-
tice has been continued at neariy every
State convention since, including the Ma
ryland State Republican convention,
where, il is alleged, frauds most unblush-
ing were planned and eOnsummated.
Fraud win be continued to be praeticed
after the election, just as in 1876, for it
Is only by fraud that the Grant party can
hope TO win. The popular verdict agniast
him cannot be less than milliSn majority,
but to give that verdict expression BY Sc
caring the fruits Of victory will be task
Of the greatest impOrtaaee. Congress, be-
fore adjourament, should sndsayOr TO sim
plyfy the counting Of the electoral vote by
proper legislation. aud the rank and hle Of
the Democratic party should poll every
vote possible against Grantism, aud all
that the term implies. The larger our
majority the less will be the chances of
ossriHrning the popular will.
