We learn from source that ought
to know how it Is, that Judge James
T. Shields, in defense of Alsup, in
our Circuit Court last week, deliv-
cred the finest address to the jury
that has been listened to since
courts have been held in Morristown.
1t is said that his clear, fOrcible log
ic and resistless eloquence swep>
away the arguments for the prose
cution as completely and easily as
the mighty surges of old ocean OBJ
literate a rope of sand. AT the con-
clusion of his peroration, the cheeks
of several hardened sinners were
damp with tears, and it is charged
that there was a suspicious moisture
in the eyes of His Honor, Judge
Rose. The jury rendered a verdict
of "not guilty" and the public said
.EweIl done"

THE BUNCOMBE EXPRESS LINE

THE BGNCOMBE E4PRESS LINE
Nat. S. Woodward, of Knoxville,
the well known and efficient gener-
al superintendent of the Southern
Express Company from Selma, Ala,
to Lynchburg, Va, spent a few
days last week on the line of the
branch road to North Carolina per-
fecting arrangements to extend the
accommodation of his company to
the citizens along that line. He
established express offices at White
Pine, Leadvale, Newport, Bridge
port, Big Creek and Wolf Creek,
and placed them in the hands of &C
commodating and reliable men, We
are gratified to hear that Mr.. Theo.
F. Leech, fog so long a time the la
bOrious and efficient depot agent at
this place, which he resigned some
months ago on account Of imperiled
health, has been secured as express
agent on the bracnh road line. No
more experienced or efficient man
could take the place. The extern
sion of express facilitiss on this line
will be of great advantage to the
merchants and residetns of Jeffer-
son and Cooke counties, as express
packages will go through to destina-
ton without delay at Morristown,
as heretofore, and with only one
charge through, or about one-half
the amount heretofore paid on pack
ages TO those points. The dealers
and shippers CT country produce,
such as butter, eggs, poultry, &c,
on the line of the "Buncombe" will |
find that the opening of these offices
will greatly facilitate their business
and they will now be on equality !
with other shippers of upper East |
Tennessee, as to through bills of
lading and lowest rates on their !
produce to Southern cities. The
present immense business of the
Southern Express Company in pro-
duce shipping will be greatly in
creased by the opening oftheir new
line tolWOlf Creek.

Col Dave M. Nelson, son of the
late Thos. A. r. Nelson, of Knox
vile, died at Jonesboro last Thurs
day morning. Col Nelson had his
faults, the same as any other man
but notwithstanding these facts, he
had those pure, sociable traits of
manhood and congeniality which
endoared him to a large circle of
who knew him best, and
who mourn his death. He was a
man of amiable disposition.

watching ever a sick baby, came down
stairs for a moment the other day to
rest tor few seconds. She heard the
voice of her little four year old girl in
the hall by herseR, and, curious to
know to whom she was talking, stopped
a Minute at the half opened door.
She saw that the little thing had pulled
a chair up 10 front of the telephone
and stood upon it With the ear piece
pressed against the side of her head
The earnestness of the child showed
thatshe was in no playful mood, and this
was the conversation her mother heard
while tears stood thick in her eyes,

as it she was repeating the answers.

BURIAL OF DEAN STANLEY.
Obsequies Of Che Great Churchman
in Westminster Abbey.
Laid Beside lsis wiis.


LONDON, July %, 1881.
Never since the burial of Livingston
has Westminster Abbey, the pantheon
of England's greatest names, present
ed such an imposing spectacle. as to-
day, when Dean Stanley. the repre-
sentative churchman, beloved by Eng
land aud by so many thousands of
Americans, was laid in his final resting
place. Princes. peers, ministers, State
dignitarieS, English and Roman
ohurchmen, ministers of dissenting
congregations, foreign ambassadors
and representatives OF all classes stood
together to pay homage to the man
who by his purity of life aud noble
tolerance had endeared himself to all,
from the lowliest to the highest. Be
side wreath sent by Queen Victoria
and by the royal princes, there lay on
and around his bier floral emblems of
affection aud esteem from the hum
blest of those with whom he came iE
contact and from many kin beyond
the sea" The interment took place
in Henry Wis Chapel, by desire Of
Her Majesty, who wished that the re-
mains Of the deceased Dean should be
laid beside those OF the late Lady
Augusta Stanley. The place Of sep.
ulcher is on the south side of the
chapel, next to the grave Of the Duke
of Montpensier, and the diamond
panied window is filled with stained
glass, representing in allegory the acts
of charity of Lady Augusta.
BESIDE THE COFFIN.
The ceremony in the Abbey began
shortly before four. Long before that
hour the approaches thereto were
thronged with people, though only
three thousand found admittance.
All parts Of the interior, save the
seats reserved for mourners, were
filed. Some few had the gratifica.
ton of viewing the coffin, which lay
in the drawing-room of the deanery,
surrounded with flowers. The in
scription on the coffin plate was:
