RatlIe Of FrankIIn.
Nashville banner Nov 20

.
Seventeen years ago to-day the
memorable battle of franklin was
fought. 1t is within the memory
of those who witnessed it as being
one of the hardest fougt battles, for
the time it lasted, engaged in dlrs
ing the late war between the States.
1T was onithis field which stretches
out for miles to the south and west
Of the little city of Franklin that
thenoble boys in gray met the gal
liant blue coats and measured shields
for eight long hours. 1t was on
this field that Generals Cleburn,
Adams, Gist, Strahl, and Cranber-
ry, of the Confederate army, fell
while nobly fighting for their c1un-
try's cause, while the bullets of the
enemy left on the field of battle, in
an almost dying condition, the boG-
les OF Generals Brown, Carter, Man
igauit, Quarles, COckrill and Scott,
Such bravery as was displayed by
the Mississippi and Tennessee troops
on that occasion has never been ex-
celled at any time since the world
began. Although the enemy al
most doubled them in numbers,
they were routed and driven 10
Nashville, thoroughly demoralized
in their condition, and exhausted
from the retreat, which they were
forced to make. What happened
alter reaching Nashville is well
known That the raid of Hood
and his army into Tennessee, tend
ed to end the war much sooner
than it would have ended, although
all was done that could have been
by brave men, subsequent develop
ment proved.

AThIef'k PRAYER.
Americas (Ga.) Republican


We recently heard an old darkey
praying over a bag of corn he had
Just stolen, in this wise: ''Oh, Lor-
dy, God, Use jes' been an stole a
bushel OBJ corn from dat mean man,
John Williams patch, damn him,
an 1 axes your pardon. He's got a
plenty, an so has I, but he wouldn't
pay me for my work, so good Lord
overlook dis little transgress an
keep dem from findin' it out, for l
wants to steal some more, an when
I goes to steal help me to git some
thin nice, like you did dem childen
of Isra'um when you stole dem from
de bondage of Egyptium, an IN
be mighty glad. And, oh, Lordy,
God, if dey find out dat l stole dis
corn help me to prove dat Tom Con-
nally, dat black rascal, sole it to
me, for Christ's sake, Amen"

"Here is the old stone, church
with its one hundred and fifty years
of history, with still visible marks
of the walls that surrounded the old

its name. Under the very droppings

nation furnished by Mrs. DIR. Moor

able old man, is l09 years old. i
called to see him this morning and
had a long conversation with him.
His faculties are remarkably well
retained and has his sight. He re-
cOgnized me twenty steps off.
His hearing is good, teeth excellent
and not bald spot on his head. He
talks freely about the past, and
was anxious to attend the YorktoW n
celebration and exhibit himself as a
fair specimen of Virginia darkey.

respondent, 'liVes odd Aunt Nina

clares she is one hundred and fifty
years old, but the general SUPPOSE
ton is that she don't exceed ninety
years. She is as lively as a cricket,

A PhysicIan's Advice of How Il
Gain Health

HARRISBURG, Pa, March 80, 1881.
Nothing is more charming and at
tractive than thoroughly healthy,
perfectly formed woman; a bright
eyed, rosy laughing, joyous, happy
faced girl, one who finds keen pleas
ure in merely living. An invalid
mother is constant object of SYM
pathy in an otherwise contented
household. Happy the home whose
women folks enjoy perfect health.
In my practice | have always rec
commended sickly women to use
Browns Iron Bitters. In case of
Irregularities, dyspepsia, indiges-
ton, heartburn, nausea, sour stOm-
ach, nervousness and exhaustive de-
bility, l fiI.d it exceeds all other
remedies as a true medicinal tonic.
1t never fails to gently soothe, re-
fresh and strengthen the general
system, and especially those parts
made weak by continued distress {;
and what satisfies me most is, that
the cures, although in some instan-
ces gradual, are always permanent.

POLITICAL POINTS.

There is no strong Democratic leader
ship In Wisconsin. The temperance ticket will
have about five thousand votes. Tho State gave
Garfield 10000 majority.
General Daniel L. Sickles, fNew York,
having nothing else to do, went over to the Demo.
crats few years ago. A few days ago the Demo-
crats of his district nominated him for State senator
and he peremptorily declined. lie will have
nothing to do with Democratic politics. The GEN

Hendricks is wiser man than Voor-
hces, and should give him little fatherly advice
in this trying emergency. Voorhees, hns never
run for the Presidency before, and he makes the
mistake OF all beginners in being too unanimous.
Hendricks has had great experience. He has been
presidential candidate In advance once in four
years since 1856 lie has always stopped running
when the national convention met but he has
come up fresh and lively for new trip each time
about half n year after the new President has been
inaugurated. His experience is therefore valuable
and he should inject some OF 1t into Voorhees,
His first recommendation could be relied upon to
be something like this: "Never, my dear Daniel

The Guiteau Trial.

The probability is that the trial of
Guiteau will be rather humdrum affair
There is to be defense of insanity; that
is all. The witnesses to the shooting will
not all be examined, twenty or so being
deemed sufficient. One who has kept an
accurate account of the various persons
who confess to having seen the shooting,
and have communicated the fact to the
press, states that the number now reaches
1911, of whom 6SS stood within ten feet
of the scene. 1t is unnecessary to pro-
duce all of these witnesses. Then, as to
the right to try Guiteau in the District,
II begins to look as though no effort
would be made to deny it. Such an init
nation was given out by the counsel for
the accused at the time the court granted
n postponement of the trial for seven
days. The absurd claim that the locality
of the bloody deed was changed because
its dying victim was carried to another
place moro than two months afterward,
and the equally grotesque proposition
that because the deadly blow was given
in one place and death ensued in
another, no murder had been committed
at all, are not likely to be urged in our
time, no matter how many old, musty de-
cisions could be raked up to sanctify
such foolery. Nor is there any likelihood
that it will be plead that not Guteaus
bullet, but the malpractice of the sur
geons, caused the late Presidents death.
The only surgeons who know anything
about the case of their own knowledge
are those who were in attendance. They
will not testify to any malprac-
tice. Probably no outside surgeons would
testify that any true diagnosis was
possible, or that any different treatment
could have saved the patients life. The
Government willundoubtedly get through
with its witnesses in one day. The wit
nesses as to insanity will not consume
more than two or three days. The jury
oug Int to be easily empaneled, for jurors
will have to betaken of such rs can fairly
try the issue, and the issue will not be
as to the fact of the shooting, and that is
really the only fact upon which all have
