The NstOs of Saturday says: The
reception rendered to Mr.. Nicker-
son BY the Chamber of Commerce,
last night, at the Horton House,
was attended by pretty much all
our leading. citizens. and was one
OF the most enjoyable affairs ever
held here. Mr.. Niokerson, In re.
sponse to . toast, said that the CAL
iforntA Southern railroad would be
built and paid for, but admonished
our people that war on San Fran
cisco would prove bootless, and
gave the sensible warning to be-
ware Of fixing high rates on incom-
Ing shipping, and thus closing the
port to trade.
Brother Julian, of the NeWs, cell
ebrated the 3lst anniversary of his
marriage Friday last. He says:
GAS we look back over the thir-
ty-one years OF married life, we
have nothing to regret; and are
glad to say that the years have
HlIdsd by peacefully and pleas
xntly."

nardo Informs US that on Friday
night Of last week the dwelling

We are pleased, says the Union,

Angeles) there IL every reason to

Washington Starr .
One of the fgures.now seen daily in
Washington, either at the state de-
partment or at the White house, or
both, is small in stature and dark in
complexion. The owner of the figure
is an Armenian by birth. In addition
to being dark, he is bald-headed, jerky
and very excitable. He came here
four years ago. He came to get a
place. Though only about forty years
of age, he has ten small children, the
same number that, according 10 the
old New England primer, followed
John Rogers, the martyr, to the stake.
His claims for an Office lay in the fact
that he had done some campaign work
in Missouri in 1876, aud in the ten
small children. He trotted those
children out on every occasion. He
had pictures of each of them in his
his pocket and a group picture. He
would show his photograph gallery to
you, and tell when this one had the
measles aud the other the Group. He
told President Hayes about these
BARNS. Secretary Evarts was as ia
miliar with them as if they had been
his own. The patriarch of these ten
wanted to go abroad. 1t was a year
before he saw daylight. He was then
sent to a small commercial agency on
the continent. 1t took him Just one
week longer than two passages
across the ocean to get back.
In that week he had got into
trouble. He gave up the Job. but
wanted another. The ten children
we're trotted out again, and their his.
tory and helplessness again rehearsed
to President Hayes and Secretary
Evarts. Secretary Evarts said he
never had so much trouble with his
own large family of eleven. But the
Armenian hung on. Hanging YVES hi
strong hold. He conquered again.
They sent him down On the isthnus.
He was back again in five months.
1t took him two weeks passage each
way. The other three months he was

back as yellow as a pumpkin aqd
swearing streaks of blue. He now

Again he was provided for. He was

Messrs. John McKnabb & Bro.

Of Memphis for metaling the streets,

loads Of store spalls, facing eight

five to fourteen inches thick. The
Memphis authorities are highly pleased
with the quality Of the stone, it being
the very thing wanted, and will
probably replace all of their old
RicOlson pavements with it. Nc

Of firm convictions, but moderate and

to the Office as a moderate republican

nection with politics than such a min

his convictions. If there is anything
in inherited traits aud instincts, he
draws them from a long line of educa-

Fanny Dayenport's Charlly.

Charleston Gazette.l
Mention has been made in these col
umns from time to time of the talents,
musical and artistic, of Miss Marian
Foster, an artist, who, though depriv
| ed of the use of her lower limbs by
paralysis and a prisoner in her invalid
chair, possesses that high courage
which no sutferings and trials can
abate, and whose industry and pa
thence are a rebuke t. all who, with
the use of every limb and every facul-
ty, do the worlds work and bear their
daily load with less of heroism.
When Fanny Davenport was here in
February she met Miss Foster and
gave her an order for the painting of
two satin gowns for her Camille"
wardrobe, and became deeply inter
ested in her, as do all who meet her.
From time to time Miss Davenport
has written her the kindliest letters,
and yesterday there came one which
we are permitted to copy, and which
explains itself.
my Dear Little Girl: No mat
ter what you are doing, put it
down and pack your bag and start for
New York and go and see DR.. Sayre
and let him examine your ailnent or
affection. and tell you if it can be
cured. Ifyes, place yourself under
his care. 1.-The can cure you it will
only keep you a short time, and do
not be wounded too much, poor child,
if he says he cannot cure you. Let
US make the effort and place our faith
in God, who is always with us. OF
course your sister will go with you.
Perhaps your friend, Mrs, could
tell you where to live while there,
or perhaps you could live at DR..
Sayre's. | have written him first to
see if he is at home, and to make ar
rangements and settle all particulars.
On receipt Of his answer / will in
stantly send you the money for your
fares, expenses, etc"
This noble offer, the prospect Of
being under the care Of a physician of
such acknowledged skill as DR.. Sayre,
and the possibility of recovering the
use of her limbs, opens a new world
of hope to the little artistic.

A Legislator with His Little Pts

A special to the Little Rock Ga
zette from Ozark, dated the Oath,
says:
OZARK, March 24.-Our represent
atiye, Hon. l. L. Fielder, returned
home last Tuesday evening. This
morning he met j. v. Bourland, the
author of the scurrilous circular,
headed "a Modest Reply" which
was sent to the members Of
the legislature and others. Fielder
raised his pistol and demanded a full
retraction, which Bourland made.
Fielder marched Bourland into Bright
& Epstien's store, and while Bourland
was in the act OF signing a retraction
parties interfered and caught FEEDERS
pistol. Bourland fed, and in the
scufie Fielder's pistol fired, making a
hole through the ceiling. All quiet
since.
