Sweet, precioSs darling.b Mr. LongfeIlow was
feeted by the fte Of this gen elnan that he at on'
supposed the foI owing beautiful and intensely pra
cal verses, dEich should be Nasted in the hat
Tery young man n the country:
In the tWiHght's solemn cleaning
Stood a maiden young and fair,
Watching anxiously for some one
Who was certainly not there.
Long she peered into the darkness
While her mind was fraught with fears
And her heavy hanging eyelids
Showed the marks Of recent tears.
Oh she woe that woman suffers;
Oh, the heart aches and the pangs;
Only partially atoned for
By her bangles and her bangs.
Faithless man, come to the maiden
Who is waiting there for youl
Clasp her gently 70 your bosom
Tell her she is life 10 you.
Let her roost upon your kneecap,
Sitting in the OLD armchair,
While the end of your coat collar
Tangles gently in her hair
Play it fine, misguided creature;
Tell the maiden on your knee
That TO you a guardian angel
VIII her love forever be,
Then be sure to get your letters
ION this point depends your fate),
For in case you shake the maiden
She may choose to litigate.
Never let a heartless Jury
See those nOtelets where you say
That the girls your tOotsey pootsey,
For 1t gives you dead away.
When you have those precious missives
Burn them, ere the sun has set,
Then steer clearOf guileless m2idens,
And you may be happy yet.

Crushed with her fingers the lily that weary

The blacksmith shop, big oil tank,
twelve feet in diameter, the boiler
workers, all on a thirty foot wagon,
with sixteen men at work, showed
to advantage, and bore evi-
dence of the thrift and en-
terprise of Lewis & Thomas,
whose sheet-iron works are situated
at the foot Of Adams street. Indus
trious, worthy men are Lewis &
Thomas, and they kepttheir big wagon
in the procession all day, though it
had to work around the cetton arch in
front of the cotton exchange. being too
tall to pass under.
POdesta & Co.'S candy-makers at
work, and Ainging heaps of sweet
meats out upon the crowd, made peO.
pie laugh heartily, while crowds Of
boys scampered alongside to capture
the goodies. Many a maiden in her
teens did not think it beneath her
dignity to pick up tempting lozenge
or two.
Brown & Jones line of coal carts,
forty or more in number, was a strik-
ing feature of the procession. The
carts looked strong and stylish, every
mule was sleek aud fat, and the
drivers, black looking fellows, all
wore a tall stovepipe hat, black
blouse, and a stylish looking shield on
their bosoms. Every one of the drivers
smoked genuine Havana cigar out
Of Sol Coleman'S best box, and there
wasn't better display in the line
than Brown & Jones made.
Hogan, Jordan & Co., lumber deal
ers, made a splendid exhibition, and
are entitled to the blue ribbon intbeir
line of business. On their wagons
beside specimens of their goods
were the following notices Our
Business. ITO build up Memphis.
This firm received many compliments
for their attractive display
There were many other features
worthy of mention, but time and
space will not allow even brief men

As the paper goes to press the
speaking progresses in Court square,
and the sun peeps forth from behind
the clouds. No shower has fallen to
dampen the ardor or the nice clothes
of those who moved and took part In
the grand display of to-day.

MAJOR W. J. Sykes, who is making
a canvass Of the state for John v.
Wright, is reported as having made
some personal filings at Wilson in a
speech at Knoxville, saying, among
other things, that he (Wilson) did not
pay more than ten dollars taxes, and
that on land he never paid for. This
appeared in the Knoxville Dispatch,
and we believe also in the Chronicle
Now we do think that the high
credit champions are hard pushed
when they have to resort to such per-
sonal references as these. 1t might
not be out Of the way to remind some
of them that those who live in glass
houses should be little careful about
throwing stones. This much we hap.
pen to know about Mr.. Wilson: He
came out of the Confederate army
with but one hand. He had no means
but worked his own way through
college, and finally through a law
school. He has enjoyed a fine law
practice for several years, is worth
five or six thousand dollars, which he
made by hard work, and does not owe
one thousand dollars in the world.
Were he not generous to a fault al
most, he might have been much better
off. He has shown himself capable Of
taking care of himself and his owl
affairs before Offering to take charge
of public affairs and we would say
that he has about as good record in
every respect as any young man who
came penniless and crippled out Of
The Confederate army. What next

MECHANICS UNION vs.. THE
RAILROAD.
An Amicable Settlement of Their
Little Unpleasantness.

1t is now stated that the Mechan-
les, Union and the V. & T. II. X.
have quietly arranged matters,
though just how it has been done,
no one outside seems to know.
This statement is a great relief to
many people who love quiet and
good order The difference between
these two great powers assumed such
gigantic dimensions that many were
afraid of bloodshed, and people near
the Virginia depot were seriously
thinking of having sheet-iron shut
tiers made for their front windows,
while the poor engineers were be-
tween two fires; they said Mr.. Yer
ington would discharge them if they
joined the Union, and the Union
would keep them from running I'M
less they did join. SO matters stood
until some good Angel must have
whispered good advice into the car
Of Mr. Yeriugton or the Union or
both, and advised them to draw
back little, so that now things are
again quiet. so mote they remain.
Since writing above, VIC have
learned that the settlement made is
as follows: An agreement between
Mr.. Ycrington and the Executive
Committee Of the Union provides
that all engineers running into St0-
rey county shall make immediate
application for membership in the
Union. Their initiation will not be
insisted upon before the expiration
of the constitutional limit, at which
time card from a Division of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Eugin-
GERS at Carson Gf one shall be
formed by that time), will be &C.
cepted by the Union. If the Divis-
ion is not organized at Carson by
that time, The engineers are all to
join the Storey County Mechanics
Union.
