Pass it along the line, that as the
ides of November are approaching
rapidly, SO victory and Judge
Hawkins as governor Of Tennessee
are moving nearer. We will elect
him just so sure as the sun rises on
election day. The democrats are
struggling hard, but it is Of no use.
Providence has made them mad and
the republicans will destroy them.
The Nashville American puts our
vote at 100000, and perhaps
10000. Can any sensible man
doubt the result. This leaves 1907
900 votes to be divided between
Wilson, Wright and Edwards. The
repudiator will get $4,000, Wright
5000, and Edwards the little re-
naming.
Now, let republicans everywhere
60 to work for their legislative ticks
cts. Let East Tennessee do her
duty and with Shelby and David
son and the other counties over the
mountains, which we will carry, we
will have majority in the next
legislature or be in condition to
dictate terms. The democrats can't
fuse now and their family woes put
them in bad condition.

Congressman Springer, as bitter
a partisan as Wstterson, said In a
speech at Sullivan, Ills:

1t Is not necessary to meet these

ONE week from to-day the grand
battle is opened. Indiana and Ohio
will have a vast influence On na,
tional politics. IF we carry Indiana
the hungry hordes of expectant Of
fce>holders under the Hancock
Hampton-Biaekburn regime, may
as we'll pack their grip~sacks and
HE back to the solid south. If we
even cut down the drmocratic ma
jority to any considerable extent we
will give them black eye that will
seriously interfere with clear view
of the national field. Our friends
have lacked the sinews of war to
some little extent but the Atlanta
Constitution says purse Of $780,
900 has been raised By the $1,000
proposal of Bob. Ingersoll and if this
is true that part Of the fight will be
all right. Better than this however
are the precautions taken tie prevent
a free transmission Of Henry Wat
terson 600, 900 unarmed Kentuck>
ians' through Indiana. IF this can
be prevented the Hoosier State can
be depetded on. OF Ohio there is
no room for doubt. She IS reliably
republican and more especially
when such favorite son as Garfield
is on the track.

ENDURANCE OF THE DIGGER IADIANs.-
While the thermometer has been hugging
zero; while the ears and noses and hands
of the white man have been tingling
with cold; while the earth has been
covered with snow, and ice has formed
on exposed bodies of water, the Digger
Indian has been displaying his utter
lack of sensitiveness to cold. Several of
the red men of the forest who come to
town daily from the adjacent campooda
are conspicuous for thin bodily attire.

In the Jaws of a Lion.

I was out after porcupines, and was
lying down one night near porcupine's
hole, waiting for him to come out. I
had no gun, but only my hunting knife
and a large knob kerrie with which to
knock the porcupine on the nose; for
that, as you know, kills him at once.
did not hear sound until found the
grass near me move and a lion got his
paws on me and lifted me up. The brute
pressed his claws into me, but, luckily,
my leather belt prevented his teeth from
damaging me, and he carried me, hold
ing on to my belt and coat. IF either of
these had given away should have been
laid hold of in a far more rough manner.
A lion is like cat in one thing, he can
hold live creature in his mouth and
not damage it, just as have seen a cat
carry mouse. I knew the nature of
the lion enough to know that if I
struggled I should have my neck broken,
or my head smashed in an instant; so
did not struggle, but quietly drew my
knife and thought what was best to do.
I thought at first of trying to strike him
in the heart, but could not reach that
part of him, and his skin looked so loose
that could not strike deep enough
carried as was. I knew it would be
life or death with me in an instant, sc
turning myself a bit, gashed the lions
nose and cut it through. The ior
dropped me as should drop poison

with pain. He stood for an instant look
ing at me but as did not move, he die

than once he came up to within few
yards of me, licking the blood as il
poured from his nose; but there re
manned like stone, and he was fairly

THE Ex-QUEEN's RECEPTION. - The
Duchess de La Tore was universally
pronounced the most beautiful and best
dressed woman in the theater, but all
honors of the evening were for the
Queen-mother, Isabel. The King and
Young queen were only looked at when
they entered, but when Queen Isabel
came to the front of the box there was
universal murmur of applause, admira-
ton and affectonate greeting, and in the
bull-fght the next afternoon there was
positive enthusiasm. The crowds there,
always noisy, saluted her with roars of
applause, and all along the Gale Alcala
coming home she was the object of the
most boisterous demonstrations from the
people. This reception for Queen
Isabel vas scarcely expected, still it sur
prises no one. For the women of their
generation in Madrid, she is the sister of
all; her children, too, were born when
their were, and some of her little ones
have been taken just as theirs, too,
have died, on the same day, in the same
week, or in the same month, SO that the
anniversaries of her life are theirs also.
And the great, generous heart that beats
under the ample bosom of the frail,
faulty Isabel has prompted the willing
hand to SO many charitable actions, so
much has she given to starving widows
for the education of their sons, to fathers
struggling under the weight of large
families and ready to perish, to needy
Generals who have led their hosts to
battle, and to impoverished authors, that
it is utterly impossible for the people of
Madrid not to love her, although they
cannot respect neutrality-suspicious.

day the eye can discern the sail of craft,
bound in, for many leagues at sea; here
almost every phase of life is exempli6ed
in nature-the calm and placid waters of
the bar reminds one of the happy days of
infancy when not breath rufi1es the
days Of early life; again the disturbed
seas as they rise suddenly upon the
bosom of the bar reminds us of our first
great grief and disappointment that
quickly revealed to our eyes being
no longer child we must arouse and like
the pillows that arise upon the tranquil
bosom of the bar, struggling against an
unseen power behind them we, too, must
struggle and bravely win the battle of
life; and as the waves become more and
more angry how forcibly are we re-
minded of the many fierce battles fought
in life for mans mastery over himself,
and of the struggles forced upon us all
at one time or another in this life; and as
the angry waves swallow up and kill
everything within their reach, how
vividly do scenes of this kind transpire
each day among the sons of men? And
again, when the bar has become peaceful
and serene, does it not carry the mind to
| old age? OF one who has fought the
battle of life, and in the sere and yellow
leaf of declining years sits peacefully
down content to wait for the summons
that will take him hence to eternal rest
that will never again be disturbed by the
turbulent waves of this life
Coos bay bar! what sorrow ye have
brought to once happy firesides. Know
We the anguish, the days and nights OF
sorrow that ye have caused once happy
homes to endure, and if SO, have you no
moments of remorse? No, cruel waters,
little care ye; but let US all hope that
when the sea gives up its thousands, not
one of the dead of Coos bay bar shall be
absent, for meath you rests the tene-
ments Of noble men, whose spirits "went
aloft" to their Maker through your
treacherous and angry lashings. But
who can say that it is not their gain, and
that IL was but destiny for those
brave men to surrender up life to GOO
amid the roar and turmoil of Coos Bay
bar? Peace to their ashes, and may we
all meet them across the bar that divides
the mortal and immortal sphere.

ART VEsTIGEs IN AFGHANIsTAN.-A
paper, entitled sArt Vestiges in Afghan
istan; the results of some recent explor-
atoms in the Jelalabed Valley" was read
on Wednesday night by William Simp-
son of the illustrated London Neaos, at
the weekly meeting of the Society of
Arts. Sir T. Douglas Forsyth, K. G. S.
T., G. B., presided. Mr.. Simpson stated
that, being for some months last winter
in the Jelalabad Valley with the force
under General Sir s. Browne, he visited
and sketched most of the Buddhist re-
mains in that region. In addition, he
made excavations under the auspices OF
the late Sir Louis Cavagnari, and had
brought materials on which might be
formed knowledge of the Buddhist
architecture in the valley. The remains
are now little more than mounds, the
number of which was immense. AS the
Buddhist establishments were monas-
teries, there seemed to have been pop
ulation of ascetics alone far greater than
the whole population of to-day. At pres
ent there is neither art nor architecture
in the Jelalabad Valley. In the Budd-
hist period, on the contrary, the country
must have been in high state of civili-

lowed in which sculpture was largely
used, and the effect heightened by color
and gold. Mr.. Simpson gave large
number of interesting details respecting
the architectural styles of Afghanistan
and India, the various influences to be
traced in them, and his discoveries in
the Jelalabad Valley. A strangely COM
posite character belonged to the archi-
lecture of the Buddhist period in Afghan
istan. It had received capital from
Persia, a Corinthian capital with frieze
and mouldings from Greece, and an arch
from India. At Venice the architecture
of Western Europe com bined with that
of Byzantium. Afghanistan had some
points of resemblance to the City of the
Sea. It was formerly trade route and
gate of conquest. These conditions
brought together in it the arts of West
ern and Eastern Asia. Some of the few
sculptures he found indicated that this
art had made considerable progress.
Having expressed the hope that further
explorations would be made, he specially
described his excavations at the Asm
Posh Tope, near Jelalabad, the date of
which he placed about 400 or 500 A. d. |
Mr.. Simpsons remarks were illustrated |
by numerous sketches and photographs. |

Remarkable Rides.

More remarkable rides than the famous
ride to York are upon record. By dint
of keeping constantly in the saddle and
having relays of horses all along the
road, the Prince de Ligne contrived to
cover the miles between Vienna and
Paris-over five hundred, as the crow
fiies-in six days. This performance was
outdone by the Count de Maintenay,
who rode the whole distance on one
horse, without dismounting. The Count,
one of the most accomplished horsemen
of his day, was attached to the mission
sent by Napoleon to negotiate for the
hand of Mary Louise; and was. deputed
to carry to his impatient master the
formal consent of the Emperor of Aus
tria to the marriage, and the miniature
of the unwilling bride-elect. To expe
dite his journey, six of the finest horses
in the Imperial stables were dispatched
to different places on the route, that the
Count might change his mount; but
the Hungarian roadster he bestrode at
starting went SO fast and stayed SO well
that the relays were not called into SER
vice, and the matrimonial messenger ar
rived at his destination long before he
was expected, but SO exhausted that
he was fain to crave permission to be
seated in the Emperor's presence as he
delivered up the all important mission,
and repeated the Archduchess' message
to her future lord. A jeweled snuff box,
sixty thousand francs and the good steed
he had ridden, rewarded the Count for
his expedition. The Count de Mainte-
nays feat was repeated in 1874 by an
Austrian lieutenant, who undertook to
ride his horse, Cardoc, from Vienna to
Paris in fourteen days. He was unlucky
enough to lose bis way in the Black For
est, and SO waste seven hours, and was
further delayed by an accident to his
horse; nevertheless, he accomplished his
task, with more than two hours to the
good.
It pays to keep cow-out of the
pound.

critics, THE more think Of him, the
less I think OF him.

The Cologne Cathedral.


Cologne Cathedral is at length ap-
preaching completion, and it is conf
IDENTITY stated that August next year will
see the mighty minister finished. Begun
in the very midst of the cages of faith"
when monarchs beggared themselves to
raise magnificent structures, Of which
only picturesque ruins now remain for
the world to look at, this extraordinary
temple OF the Christian faith Jagged be.

itself being oil the time an unfinished
fabric. The first stone of Cologne
Cathedral was laid IN 1913, about the
time when all the grandest ecclesiastical
edifices now left, perfect or ruined. in
europe were either just finished, or,
like Notre Dame, in Paris, were in rapid
progress; but while the most elaborate OF
them took only three centuries to bring
to perfection, Cologne Minister has alb
sorbed more than double the time. and
is not finished yet. It is unnecessary to
give all the reasons of this delay. Suffice
1t to mention parsonage" not TO be
mentioned without extreme caution to
ears polite, hindered the work from the

natural, perhaps, under the circnmstan-
ces, and that this supernatural "ob-
structionist'' succeeded so far that only
after lapse of six hundred and thirty
two years will the great fabric be hailed
as perfected christian temple. It took
nearly three centuries-that is, from 124S
to l517-to complete the choir, and since
that date it has requsred liberal aid from
nearly all the sovereigns of Europe to
keep' the construction going. The
cathedral is $40 feet long and 23O feet
| broad; the nave is supported by 1OC
| columns, the four central of which are
| no less than 40 feet in circumference
| the choir is 160 feet in height, and the
| two great towers are each 500 feet high
What now remains to be done is the last
stage and crowning decoration of the
stately towers. The massive caps oi
stonework have to be laid on, and then
on their SUBMITS have to be fixed the
gigantic "foliated crosses, almost 80 fee
high, which are to crown the towers anG
proclaim to all the world the faith tx
which the work is dedicated. This done
Gothic architecture will be able to poin
to an acknowledged masterpiece, and th,
bones of the 1000 virgins may res
quiet in their shrine. It is only to b.
hoped that when next August arrive
Europe will fitly celebrate the occasio,
on own merits, without inquiring to-
curiosity into the value of the accom-
panying legends.
