Galveston News.

Uncle Nose was up before the
Galveston recorder yesterday fol
giving his son, Abe Linkum, an un.
merciful beating. AS Old Nose is
notorious for being a quiet, kind.
hearted man, the recorder was anx-
ious to know what the provocation
was, and he put that question di-
rect.
"De troof am jest as l am gwine
ter tell yer. Las Sunday rnornin'
1 lathered my face all ober and went
to shave myself. De razor jest tore
my chin all ter pieces, 80 dat ! had
ter yell out. Abe Linkum, dat ar
young cubf spoke up and says,
HWhat's de matter daddy ?" says,
dis heah razor don't cut wuff a
cent Now Jedge, what does yer
allow dat boy said back te me?"
81 can't imagine," said the recOr-
der.
swell, sab, he says, Daddy, /

WHOLE NO. 1886.

The following letter, written by
Capt. T. G. Ryman to the Nashville
American, In regard to Instructions
at the mouth of the Cumberland,
will doubtless be of interest to the
citizens of this city and county who
are interested in the navigation and
trade of the river. Now that the
state and national government are
having work done in the way of
clearing the channel and renov-
ing distractions in the Cumberland
would it not be best to pay prompt
attention to this obstruction at its
mouth before it comes more iormi-
dable.
PADUcAH, KY, Aug. 13-Thepeo-
pie of Nashville, the iron men and
the commercial world generally, are
interested in keeping the lower
Cumberland open all the year round
instead of only five months out of
every twelve. A untired effort
should be made to get the govern
ment to do away with the obstruc-
tion at the mouth of the Cumberland
river.
River men all know that Cumber-
land Island is in the Ohio river, OPP
posite the Cumberland, with its
head half a mile above and its foot
twomiles below. AT the head of theis-
land the chute has been filled up un-
til there is a dry crossing across from
the kentucky shore, so that no wa
ter passes down the chute from the
Ohio river at all, the chute is very
wide, so that the Cumberland river
has no current over it. The chute
is still rapidly filling up and If per-
mitted to go on it will be great
barrier to Cumberland river naviga-
tion. While there is thirty inches
of water from Dover to Smithland
there is only ten inches in the chute
The only permanent relief would
be to turn some of the water from
the Ohio river through the Kentuc-
ky chute of Cumberland Island.
The Tennessee Rolling Works and
the different furnaces along the |
Cumberland river cannot ship nor
receive lion and supplies, now for
the first time in ten years, from
down, even with the
light draught steamers run upon it.
Very respectfully,
Il. G. RYMAN.

A "whIrIing" girl.

Yesterday morning a 10 year old
daughter of Peter Crumler COM
menced a series of 'whirling dervish'
movements which has quite over
come the neighborhood with won
der and excitement. Throwing her
arms straight out, she rapidly
whirls round, with an irregular step
from 10 to 10 minutes, and then
sinks in a semi-conscious state on
the floor. These whirIing spells have
continued at intervals of about
an hour. She has not slept since
they came on, and offers no expla-
nation of them more than that
when the impulse to whirl takes
possession of her she can not resist
It. Superstitious people believe her
to be possessed of an Oriental devil

The Parsons salary.

Nothing more cruel to a pastor or
more disastrous to his. work, can
be done than to force upon him a
feeling of dependence upon the char
titles of his flock. He is creature
of popular whim, and a preacher
without influence to those who
do not respect him or his Office sufh-
ciently to pay him the wages due to
man who devOtes his life to them.
Manliness cannot live in such a
man except it be in torture endured
simply because there are others who
depend upon the charities doled out
to him. Good, manly pastors do
not want gifts. They need them
and the people owe them; but they
regard themselves as benefactors,
and place their pastors in an awk-
ward and false position. III christi
ians do not sufficiently recognize
the legitimacy of the PASTORS call
ing to render him fully his just
wages, and assist him to maintain
his manly independence before the
world, they must not blame the
world with contempt that forbids
approach and precludes influence.
The world will be quite ready to
take the pastor at the valuation of
his friends, and the religion he
breaches at the price its professors
are willing to pay in a business way
for its ministry. y.-,ScTidIleT

IT is related of DIR. Holmes that
at country charitable fair one day
he was entreated to furnish a letter

folds placed a 81 bank note. Turn

following:

of this assertion, he made the fol-

DEATH OF GEM RAJ BURNSIDE.

Senator Ambrose Everett burnside,
whose death occurred yes.el day, was o7n
IN Union county, Indiana. His father.
although lawyer and Judge of the Circuit
Court OF the circuit in which he resided,
owned aud worked a valuable farm, and
upon this farm Ambrose Everett, wko was
the offspring Of a second marrisge, was
born. He was apprenticed to the
tailoring trade, but in his nineteenth
year was appointed by Hon Caleb
B. Smith to cadetship in the
military academy at West Point.
Burnside graduated from Wsss Point in
1877, aud Immediately joined the army in
Mexico. He resigned his commission in the
army in 1892, and followed his occupation
as tailor, audalsoengaged manufacturing
a breech-loading rifle invented by himself.
After his marriage he removed from the
West to Rhode Island When the war Of
the Rebellion broke out he enlisted in the
Union army as Colonel Of the First Rhode
Island Regiment Of Volunteers. He com.
manded brigade at the first battle of Bull
Run. Subsequently he was promoted to
the rank OF Major. General, and commanded
the left wing of the Union army at An
tietam. He commanded an important ex-
petition against the eastern coast of North
Carolina. He was at one time in full com.
mand of the Army of the Potomac, but his
record as successful General was not brill
liant. He was moderately successful as
corps commander. In lS65-Aaving re-
signed his commission IN the army-he was
elected Governor Of Rhode Island, and be-
Ing chosen a Senator in Congress, he took
his seat March /, 1875, "a successor to
William Sprague. His career IL the Senate
was not remarkable for the oTigina.ion Of
measures. His life was full of eventual ac-
tiyi5y, and he died at the age OF afty-sevaa.
