happy couple were els.td and hurried
home with ali dispatch. On their az
rival they drove up TO the residence
the BRIDES parents and she got out and
hurried into tho house TO thank her
parents for having relented. The
groom remained at the carriage getting

TO enter the door OF the house when

warned to leave the premises imme-
diately. he was sstouished Eeyond

In the proceedings of the county con-
vention published in Sundays STATES :
NAN, Mr.. Frank I. Roache has kindly
called our attention to two errors. He
says that himself, DR.. Tobin, and he
thinks Col. Robertson, voted with the
county delegates. The STATESMAN
would gladly have published the Off
cisl proce odings of the convention had
the sec etary furnished them, but that
cheerful individual never wrote line
of anything tina. tTanspiIed, and Gs far as
the convention was concerned, might
just as we'll have been in the Cannibal
Islands. The reporter had difficulty in
getting hold of Mr.. Sneed's resolution,
and picked up Mr. Reaches on the
door after the convention adjourned.
The report OF the vote published was
believed by the reporter to be correct,
aud he was informed after the meeting
adj burned that II was. We gladly
make the corrections as given us by Mr..
Roache, as the STATESMAN does not
wish to do injustice to any one.

Kings Mountain Centennial.

Knoxville Tribune: "Our distin.
guished fellow citizen, DR.. j. G. NJ.
Ramsey, has suggested what strikes US
as very appropriate, the idea of rais-
ing in this neighborhood a cavalry COM
pany of the descendants of those who
participated in the battle Of Kings
Mountain, to attend the celebration of
that important event in our struggle
for independence. Let the company
be equipped in the frontier style of
1880, and cross the mountaineering
ing out-as near as practicable by the
old trail pursued by the forefathers.
Capt. John NJ. Brooks, who probably
has more of the blood of the heroes of
Kings Mountain in his veins than
any one man in this immediate COM
nonity, is suggested as proper per-
son to take the initiative steps in the
matter. Let us raise the company.

POLrTrCAL NOTES.

The Murfreesboro News supports
Tilden for the Presidency.
The Boston Herald's Washington
correspondent is confident that Don
Cameron is really at heart for Sher-
man, and that he and Conkling togeth-
er will never permit the nomination
of Blaine.
The Kansas City Post and Tribune,
leading German organ of the West,
comes out fiat footed against the non-
ination of Grant. 1t will support any
Democrat in opposition to a third
term candidate.
Col. Robert Douglass of North
Carolina says that the district dele
gates of that state to the Chicago con-
vention will be divided between
Grant and Sherman, with Grant prob
ably in the lead.
The Warren. Ohio, Record says
that Mr.. Thurman will receive the
unanimous vote of the Ohio delega-
tion at the Cincinnati convention, and
it considers him the most available
man for nomination.
Says the Washington Evening Star:
"Quite a respectable little boom has
been started out West for Congress-
man Morrison for president. The
boom has not spread very far from
Mr.. Morrison's district yet, but it
seems to be sweeping everything be-
fore it there"
Gen. Robert TComos has lately
been visited, at his Georgia village
home, by correspondent of the Bos>
ton Herald, who describes him as "a
man worn out with years and pas
sionate existence, but glorying in the
fact that he is not citizen of the
United States, that his political disa,
bilities have not been removed, and
that he is the one only and unrepen-
tant rebel"
Governor Seymour, of New York,
is reported to have expressed the opin-
ion in a recent conversation that JUS
tice Field, of the supreme court was one
of the most available aud fit of those
named in connection with the Demo-
cratic nomination for President. This
report is undoubtedly correct, and
shows that Governor Seymour, like
Mr.. Tilden, is going to exert his in-
fuence in the nomination.

The Edingburg Review.

The reprint Of the Elingburg Re.
view for January has lately been is.
sued by the Leonard Scott Publishing
Co., Al Barclay ST., N. Y. We have
in this number two articles which are
well worth reading. That entitled
Agricultural Depression" admits that
the agriculture Of England is passing
thro' acrisis of Unprecedented severity,
and discusses its causes and effects an
der the heads Of foreign competition,
the land laws, and the relations of land
lords and tenants. The other article
10 which we refer, ireland, her
Present and her Future" calmly dis
cusses the schemes which have been
proposed to re medy the present con-
dition of Ireland, and indicates the
chief means by which her progress is
likely 10 be assured.
"Hsmerton's Life of Turner" is a
favorable review of work that will
be welcome to those admirers of the
great painter who will not allow their
enthusiasm to make them unreasona-
bic. ''British Lighthouses" gives a
history Of the Building of some of the
most celebrated lighthouses, methods
Of lighting, an'i suggested improve
ment, especially in the manner of sig
mailing with short flashes. The other
articles are "Blillitary Relations of
Russia and England" which takes up
the ever recurring theme Of Russian
advances in Central Asia, and describ-
es the country lind the possibilities of
an invasion: s'The Persian Miracle

war; s'Lord Mimic in India;" and

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1880-03-11

Mr.. Bliss, conductor on the Rock
Island Railroad, was only five feet in
hight, and Mr.. Henry, passenger,
was almost seven. Henry put his
ticket in his hat band and stood up
straight when the little conductor
came along. Bliss could not reach
the ticket, even by standing on his
toes, and his comical efforts made the
passengers laugh uproariously; but
without changing countenance, he
brought a step ladder, leaned it against
the big man, climbed Up to the ticket,
and then went on as though nothing
had happened.

The Emperor of Austria has lately
been the recipient ofa unique present.
1t consists of a suit of clothes made
from the wool of an alpaca sheep that
eleven hours previous to their delivery
was still alive. The animal, a superb
specimen of its kind, was slain at GIL
a. m. Four hours and thirty-three
minutes were employed in reducing
the wool to cloth. In two hours and
twenty FIVE minutes the latter was
ready for the tailor, who employed
the remaining four hours in making
the suit.

A REAL RAILROAD KING.

First, let US see what this young
man controls. Suppose you are in
Chicago and want to 60 to New Or
leans, you do this without leaving the
tracks of his roads. Ifyou are in St.
Louis and want to go to Savannah,
his carry you through, and when you
reach Savannah you will find superb
steamers belonging TO his lines ready
to carry you to New York Or Florida.
If you are In Louisville aud want 10
60 to Havana or Vera Cruz, he car
lies you behind his engines to Pensa>
cola, and there puts youon his steam
ers for either point named. If you
are at Memphis and wish to go to Port
Royal his trains take you. If you
are coastiug down the Atlantic coast
you find that his freight and passenger
trains enter every port on the ocean or
the gulf between Wilmington an Gal
weston, and absolutely control every
port between Charleston and New Or
leans. In the interior you will find
that he enters Atlanta, Chattanooga,
Nashville, Montgomery, Augusta
and, in fact, that his lines have fallen
like web over vast territory en-
braced between Chicago on the north
and the gulf on the south-between St.
Loiiis and Memphis and New Orleans
on the west to the ocean on the east.
This vast system comprises the bulk
of the Mississippi valley and the South
Atlantic statts-it has over 5000
miles Of railroad, FIVE or Elk lines of
steamships worth over s120, ,0O0,-
600, and does a business of ifty nil
lions per annum. OF course, under
this system there are many separate
corporations and organizations, but

The celebrated botanist, Nicholas
de Nasakine, in an article in the Cor
respOndence Scientique, claims that
the flavor of fruits increase in propor>
ton as they recede from the equator,
while it decreases as the equator is ap-
preached. The leaves and flowers of
nearly all northern plants contain also
a larger quantity of oil than those of
southern Europe. He believes that
the phenomenon is explained by the
longer presence of the sun above the
horizon during the summers of the
north.

Mrs. Abraham s. Mylin of Lancas-
ter, Pa, used to hang crock Of but
ter into the well to keep it cool. The
plan worked well until one day the
rope broke, and the crock disappeared
under water. This was thirty years
ago. The other day the well was
cleaned, and the butter again brought
to light, and it was foundtto be as
white as snow and as bard as adamant.
