An Editors Dream.

He fell asleep after a time, and lo!
TO him in avision that, having arm
ed himself with certain papers and
books, he turned his steps once more
toward the place and knocked at
the gate.
"HeIlo, is that you again?" said
Peter. "What dLO you wish?"
"Let these persons again come
forth, +" replied the editor, and Peter
this time madethem all pass through
the gate and stand outside.
They came as before and uttered
the same cries as before.
"Why didn't you notice that big
egg / gave you?" yelled the first.
1T was rotten, replied the editor.
"Why didn't you write up my
soda fountain?" cried the druggist.
You had your tickets printed at
the other Office" calmly replied the
local man.
"Why did you write about old
TomlinsOn's hens and never speak
of my new gate? shouted the third.
'Old Tomlinson paid for his adver-
Using and you didn't. Here's the
bin, said the editor.
"Why did you spell my name
wrong in the programmed" grOaned
the local talent.
"Take a look at this manuscript
of yours and see for yourself" said
the editor with a grim smile.
The rest of the company yelled
their complaints in unison, and the
editor calmly sorted out a series of
bills for unpaid subscriptions, and
presented each with one; and it was
so, that when they had received
them, they all tore their hair and
rushed violently down a steep place
into the sea, and St. Peter, taking
the editor calmly by the hand, led
him within the gate and said:
"COme, friend; these chaps manag-
ed to slip through here in spite 0.
us, but thanks to the press, we now
know what sort of fellows they are
Come in and stay; we need a few
such men as you in here"

Good Advice.

One of the most distinguished
lawyers of Kentucky-a man oc-
cupying the very highest position
attainable in our State courts
writes to a young man newly en-
barked upon the practice Of the law:
You possess the capacity to win an
enViable reputation, and with it
comes the thing needful, money.
Promptness in attention TO business
and thOroughness in its execution
ought to beyour constant aim. New
er give an opinion to be acted upon
without investigation and delibera-
ton. Avoid, as far as possible,
bringing suits that are doubtful in
law or morals, and never undertake
a defense until you have correctly
informed your client of his legal
rights and chances of success. As
far as possible make contracts with
your clients as to the amount of fee
to be paid, and secure it, by note or
otherwise, at the beginning of the
litigation. Collect for yourselves
and clients promptly, and pay over
moneys collected Immediately,
keeping accurate accounts, and copy
all letters to your clients and pre-
serve all correspondence. l make
these suggestions because attention
to detail is essential to success. /
have been over the ground, and
know whereof l affirm. In your
treatment of juries and courts be
intellectually and morally honest.
1t is the crowning jewel of the law
yer. Pardon this lecture, but bear
il in view.

most actively early and favorable action on
heagan's Interstate commerce bill.
Lhey apprehend that the influential fight
being made against il by the combined rail-
road interests Of the country will prove sue
cessful.
This shows how these combine
tons are inlpressing the country.
There Is not a doubt but that the
meaning of all this absorption is
one vast power as a syndicate, con-
trolling all the roads Of the United
States, and whose headquarters will
be London, where money is cheap,
and the American absOrptiOnists
will get an advance abroad on their
outlay.
But this is a depression. The
point / make is that if we can get
protection in Tennessee, we can't
take as a substitute friendly words.
They are good i'm their place, but
they do not inhere 10 a corporation.
The corporation lives while they
disappear. We must have a guar
antee, we must have the charter
protect us, or we must exhaust our
remedies in the effort.
The whole State is interested, and
the whole State must act-not I'D
haste, not in anger, not with passion,
but with that fearless intelligence
becoming a people who know what
their rights are.
Let one thing be set down as a
maxim-if foreign corporations
come into Tennessee they must have
the consent of Tennessee.
The telling points made by Col.
Colyar throughout his speech were
applauded with decided emphasis
by the meeting, which adjourned
at its conclusion.

Come out in the garden and walk with me.
While the dancers whirl to that dreamy

And the world is as fair as "a nightin June.

This il the last, last time you know,
For tomorrow a wooer comes to WOO

That gives to your face that sorrowful look?

Love, the poet, has written well;
He has won our hearts by his poem sweet,
And &C the end we must say farewell

You wore a rose in your yellow hair;
Closing my eyes I can see you yet,
Just as you stood on the tOpmost stair.
A fiutter OF white from head to feet,

But the vision was never half so sweet
As 1t is tonight in my memory.

Or is it because We must part to-day
That the music seems sadg All! me,

marries his Sister,

A young and respectable looking
couple, brother and sister, named
Fred and Louisa Rauchmann, son
and daughter of a quiet, respectable
farmer, residing in Lone Grove
township, about twenty miles from
Nandalia, Illinois, boarded the
train a short time ago, went to St.
Louis and were made husband and
wife. They remained in the city
for n day or two, then returned
hOmeward, getting off the train al
BroWntOWn, a station eight miles
from Nandalia, and for fear of being
detected, wandered Offin the woods
near town, and remained there till
found and arrested by constable
Joseph Copeland.
The man is about twenty-one
years Of age, and of good appear
ance, and his sister nineteen, and
rather gOOd-loOking. When asked
why he was induced to commit such
an act he said: "My sister loved
me so well that we thought the best
thing we could do would be to get
married" He was further asked il
he did not know it was wrong and
against the law to do SO, and also
why they hid themselves in the
woods and kept away from their
parents. This he answered by say
ing: 1--WE did not know it was
wrong, and only hid in the wood,
for fear of being discovered by our
folks, as they were very much OPP
posed to our marrying"
Their parents are very respectable
people and are sadly grieved over
the unparalleled act of their chill
dren. They were tried, found guilty
and bound over, the mans bond be
ing fixed at $500, and the Woman's
at $500, in default of which they
were committed to the county Jail.
The affair has created great excite
ment in Nandalia.

a very important bill was fled
i'm the Supreme Court to-day, the
State Of New Hampshire coming in
to Court by attorney and praying an
Injunction against the State officers
of Louisiana, asking that they be
enjOined from paying out certain
moneys, in the State Treasury for
any other purpose than the payment
of interest of the State debt. 1t
seems that New Hampshire owns
Louisiana bonds to the amount Of
one hundred thousand dollars or
more, upon which Louisiana has de-
faulted repeatedly i'm payment of the
interest. The bill Of complaint
charges that the debt is a contract,
and that Louisiana cannot violate
this contract, and that the money
collected to pay the interest ON the
debt must be applied to that specific
purpose. This is the first time that
a State has brought suit against an
other State for breach Of contract in
non-payment of debt. The result
win be looked forward to with great
interest. Ii a State can be made to
pay it's debts by another State, it
will be asolution Of the reputation
difficulties in the South. Citizens
of State can transfer their bonds to
their State Government, and the
State can sue the defauIting State
in the Supreme Court and make
them apply money in the Treasury
in liquidation of the debt.

THE New York Herald, which
has put Conkling forward as an
available Republican candidate for
the Presidency, is dealing the third
term business some hard blows. In
a recent editorial itcalIs attention to
the fact that 1.-THE Republicans of
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
and all but eighteen of the Republi-
cans in the House of Representa-
tives, in 1878, declared themselves
'unalterably opposed" to a third
term, and asserted their "frm, I'M
qualified adherence to the unwritten
law of the republic which wisely
and under the sanction of the most
venerable examples limits the Pres
idential service of any citizen to
two terms" But, says the Herald,
probably these Republicans Of 1875
were no better than a parcel of fools;
for it is now reported that New
York, Pennsylvania, Indiana and
illinois are going to send to Chicago

structed in favor of third term
