TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 1880.

TnE result Of the recent election in
England has surprised the public. The
administration of Beaconsficld has been
practically overturned. The Liberals
have carried the day, and will have,
with their gain of 60 member, control of
Parliament. The recent policy Of look
ing at great cost after Turkey and Zulu
land and Afghanistan, while ireland is
star wing at home, has brought forth a
popular revolt. Our readers must know
the English elect their House Of Com
mons to stand until dissolved by the
Crown, and when the policy of the
Crown ceases TO be in accord with the
will of Parliament, it dissolves the
House and appeals to the people to elect
new one, and by that public voice, as
thus expressed, the new administration
ID formed and its policy shaped.

eral r. r. Co. have commenced work
on-l n. G. road to connect the Ore Knob
with Martins, so as to pass the Zinc Ore
beds and thus supply all these works, so
as to use the Altoona coal. Behold
what a great fire little coal (and Mr..
Palmcr) kindleth. But this is not all.
While all these want Altoona hard coal,
they need, and must have soft anthra-
cite coal. Even these Zinc works can
not run a day without it, and they are
now getting it from Knoxville. 1t re-
ouires both. As soon as we open our N.
G. they will get their bituminous coal
from us. They will require large guam

business for our road. So we cry out,

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1880-11-11

Gen. Grant is described as wearing
in Hartford & dark brown business
suit of heavy mixed material, black
tie and no watch guard or ornament
of any kind to relieve the simplicity
of his dress. He explained to some
Hartford acquaintance how he be~
came SO attached to a cigar. He first
tried smoking at West Point, but did
not care for it, and it was not until he
was engaged in the early contests of
the war that he ssbegan to acquire the
habit. He found a cigar of service
in relieving mental strain, and during
a battle he often had one In his mouth
though even then he was not an in
veterate smOker. Newspaper cores
pondents, however, began to describe
him as smoking, and so many boxes
of excellent cigars came into his head
quarters as gifts from all parts of the
country that he was soon confirmed in
the habit.
