THE Ncws anG Courier was the
most earnest advocate OF an early
nomination OF the State ticket. and
was largely instrumental in bringing
it about. Now it holds that there is
no necessity for calling the Judicial
and Congressional Conventions fol-
somc time yet. We fail to see the
logic in these positions. Every one
believes that the party contest for
Congress will be more serious than for
the State ticket, and if time is ncccssa-
~ then the Congressional Conventions
should have been called first. Again,
an carly nomination Of State officers
was urged to obviatc the danger of
agitation and ofbringing out new
batch Of candidates. If as is said
there is as yet no serious contest for
Democratic Congressional nomina-
tions, why not have these over at
once? Congressman and Solicitors
arc virtually part Of the State ticket.
Why their selection should be guided
by policy that was denied impropcr
III the choice Of State nominations ia
something that VIC cannot understand.
We sec very good reasons for post
ponlng these nominations, but they
arc precisely tho same that were adj
Tanccd in the other case. What is
sauce for the goose should be sauce
for The gantlcr.

Delicate Distinction.
southern Law Journal.

On the trial of a SANDER case in
Alabama, one Rest, who has been a
member of the Legislature, and
was a man of consequence in his
neighborhood, and who was at en-
nifty with the plaintiff, was intro
duced as a witness to prove the bad
character of the plaintiff, and testi-
fed with no little emphasis that the
character of the plaintiff in Cross
Roads beat, where he residered, was
very bad. The counsel for the
plaintiff, to break the force of the
testimony of this witness, asked
him eff Mr.. Parse, the plaintiff,
was not at one time a Justice of the
Peace in Cross Roads beat ?" The
emphatic reply was, "NO, sir, he
never was a Justice of the Peace in
Cross Roads beat" The counsel,
after admOnishing the witness that
he was on his oath, sternly asked
him, "Do you sOlemnly swear that
Mr.. Parse was never a Justice of the
Peace in Cross Roads beat?" The
witness answered, II do sir; he
never was a Justice of the Peace i'm
Cross Roads beat; he was once a
Squire" The counsel then asked,
"Pray tell me the difference between
a Justice of the Peace and a Squirrel"
The witness Indignantly responded,
"a Justice of the Peace is man
who does justice between man and
man; a Squire is "A man who does
rs he ID pleases."

IT appears that Miss Lillian Nor
ton (GigliO Nordica) has not achiev-
ed i'm Italy the success she was eX-
pected to gain. Miss Hooper thinks
that this is not to be wondered at,
as she went on the operatic stage
with her voice in wholly crude,
uncultivated state, relying on her
personal charms and her dramatic
talents, possibly, to cover her vocal
defects. This is the case, unfortu-
nafely, with nine-tenths of the
wOuld-be prime dome of American
origin. The natural voices of our
young girls are generally conceded
to be the finest in the world, but
they will not work and they will
not study, and expect to bloom out
into full-groWn PATHS by the help
of pretty face and an idea about
acting. Never was there a more
woful mistake. OF the successful
American prime dome now on the
stage-Albani, Litta, Abbott, Kel-
logg, Van Zandt-eVery one has
made her way by dint of hard, per-
sistent work. A few years ago
there was a perfect craze for Amer
lean singers in London, owing to
the golden prize that Mr.. Gye had
secured in engaging Albani. Now
an American girl has hard work
even to obtain a hearing. In one
season five American girls made
their debut on the operate stage of
London. Result, five failures.-N.

rhe NnrhvilIe Centennarr.

No event in her history, since the
birth of our city, has created such
widespread interest as the celebra-
ton of our centenary. The idea
was conceived seven years ago by
DIR. j. b. Lindsey, our efficient
health officer, and has now permeat-
ed into every household. Active
preparations are to commence in a
few days, all preliminarieS having
been arranged. 1t has been agreed
upon all sides that a centennial ex-
position would be the most fitting
andappropriatem OdeOf celebration.
The plan for an exposition building
has already been approved and its
site selected, the latter being OPP
pOsite the beautiful new custom
house, now in a state of completion,
and itself an ornament to the city.
The money necessary to defray all
expenses is being rapidly collected,
the merchants entering into the
work with hearty enthusiasm. A
long list of attractions have been ar
ranged for, and committees in vari-
Gus departments have been appoint
ed. The vast exposition hall is to
present a scene of beauty, talent and
industry seldom equaled. In the
department of machinery and in
ventions special care will be taken
to make the display creditable. One
of the greatest features is to De
military week." in which the fin
est drilled companies of the Union
will have an opportunity of display
ing their proficiency. An apprO-
priatiOn of two thousand dollars has
been made to distribute in prizes.
The historical society have their
work to do, and promise to perform
it well. 1t is likely they will make
arrangements for the purchase, at
five thousand dollars, Of Clark Mill's
equestrian statue of Jackson, a
counterpart of the ones at New
Orleans and at Washington, the I'M
yelling to occur during the expOsi-
ton. II is to be placed upon the
beautiful capitol grounds. Nash
vile hopes to enroll herself a city of
fifty thousand Inhabitants by the
time the exposition is held, by vOt-
ing for the annexation of Edgefeld
and other suburbs which should
have been counted in her pOpula-
ton long ago. In spite of the rail
road complications the exposition
and centennial "boom" is gather
ing strength, and promises to be-
come of great proportions.

How POmPeii WINS Destroyed.
Boston SUNDAY Budget.

The recent commemOration of the
destruction of PomDeii seems to
have revived the universal interest
inspired by the famous city, for we
cannot open an exchange paper
without reading something about
it. 1t was only accidentally dis
covered by peasant digging in
field in I74S. When the eXcaVa-
tiOns have been completed it will
probably be found that fifteen hum
dred persons persisted in the catas-
trophe. How? Not by lava, for
the city stood on a plateau which
diverted the fiery streams; not from
stones hurled from Nesuvius, for
the city is out of the range of those
pOnderOus projectiles; not by the
rain of pumice stones, for the parti-
Cles were as light as snOw-fiakes.
They were killed by an earthquake
or asphyxiated by gases heavier
than the air, by sulphuric and car
bOnic acids. Old men, the sick and
prisoners persisted because they
were unable to fly. The phenome-
non lasted full five DAYS, at the
expiration of which time the fugi-
tiVes returned to hunt among the
ashes for the valuables they had
left in their houses. A catalogue of
the articles found in Pompeii fills a
large volume.

The Earth's Age.

DIR. Edward Orion, President of
the Ohio Agricultural College, de-
liVered lecture at Pixies Opera
house, Cincinnati, recently, on the
age of the earth. The lecturer con-
tended for an extreme antiquity for
our decrepit planet. If the nebular
hypothesis is accepted, the earth
was once an incandescent globe. If
so, how long was this? By calcu-
lating the outflow of the heat it is
supposed that the crust of the earth
began forming some 800, 100000 of
years ago, and that life began per-
haps 100, 600, 900 of years ago. 1t is
held that by the influence of the
tidal wave therapidity of the earth's
motion is retarded about one-fifth
of a second a year, and that some
millions of years ago the days were
only half as long as now, and in
cooling at that time, turning so
much more rapidly it must have
thus cooled a much fiatter body
than now. Thus these people claim
that the age of the earth as the seat
of vegetable life is not over 00,000,-
900 of years.

a movement is an foot for new
national bankrupt law, which seems.
to have had its origin with the mer-
chants of Boston. Circulars have
been sent to various commercial
bodies throughout the country in
viting suggestions. The Baltimore
Sun says:
The principal points are the cloth
ing of registers with judicial func-
ton, and giving them and the
clerks fixed salaries and no fees.
In determining the majority OF
creditors, in an Indebtedness of less
than $4,000, creditors for less than
$50 are not to be reckOned nor
creditors for less than $3.50 where
the Indebtedness exceeds that sum.
Committees of inspection are to be
chosen by creditors three-tenths in
number, and holding of the debts
siX-tenths in value. One supervisor
is to be appointed at fixed salary
in each judicial circuit, to examine
quarterly the accounts of the dis
trict register, and to meet once
year with the other as a national
board of bankruptcy supervisors.
Trustees are to take the place of
assignees, but preferred creditors
are to have no choice in their selec-
ton. A debtor is to be adjudicated
bankrupt on the petition of three
creditors whose provable debts
amount to $3.50. Compositions are
to be encouraged. The bankrupt
offering composition is to be exam
ined by the register in the presence
of creditors holding three-fourths in
the value of the debts. These cred
itors are to decide whether to accept
or reject. Settlements are to be
made on the basis of net cash within
sixty days, and deferred payments
are to be secured by property, or
satisfactory indOrsers. Minority
creditors who do not join in the
proceedings are not to be bound by
the terms. Discharge of debtor by
composition is to have the same
effect as in bankruptcy. Blameless
debtors are to be discharged in
thirty days from the first meeting
Others when the estate has paid
fifty per cent, or on consent of four
tenths of the creditors in number
and value.

Fred. De Funink.s Romance.
Cincinnati Gazette.


Mr.. Fred. De Funiak, the General
Manager of the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad is held high in esti-
nation by railroad men. He is an
Austrian by birth, and the son of a
famous son. He served in the Aus
trian army in the italian wars, and
is the proud pOssessOr of several
medals and decorations won by acts
of bravery and discretion. He came
to this country during the war of
the rebellion, and entered the Con-
federate army, in which he rose to
high rank on account of his ability
as an engineer. He served under
Forrest and Dick Taylor. AT the
