THE NASHVILLE Banner, as a rule,
rather conspicuous for good sense, remarks
that " the Northern papers are all having
fling at the Yorktown celebration and do
not hesitate to pronounce it huge failure
The fact of the case is, it did not transpire
in the North, and they cannot quietly set
down anything good for the South. What
pity CORVALLIS did not surrender in some
one of tho Northern cities. We would have
heard no chickering's about hotels and such
like stuff"
There is no occasion whatever for the
above outburst. Newspapers are expected
TO confne themselves to the facts. No ef-
fort of the South has been moro generally
or generously applauded all over the North
than the Atlanta Exposition, but no human
agency can make a Paradise of Yorktown.
II CORVALLIS had lowered his flag on
point Of Cape Cod, there would have been
bhe same occasion for a growl.

A Joke on a Horse.

ONE of the commission houses on
" Market street, Philadelphia, has
horse which was the terror of every
pedestrian who got within three feet of
his head. The animal has teeth like
q shark, and up to few days ago he'd
bite everything within reach except
pile of grind stones. Whipping had no
effect, and he would get rid of muzzles
as fast as they were put on. The Arm
had paid out considerable money to
settle for his bites, and was wondering
what they could sell him for, when
along came man who guaranteed
cure for five dollars. He was told to go
to work, and his first move was to get
an old suit of clothes and stuff 1t with
straw. The horse was driven down the
street, and the suit tied TO hitching
post with the back to the street. A full
pound of Cayenne pepper was then
rubbed into and sprinkled over the gar
ments and the straw stufiing, and the
joke was ready.
The horse came jogging back, and the
driver left him standing within six feet
| of the man of straw. The Old biter's
| eyes had twinkle as he saw fine
chance to use his teeth, and as soon as
left alone he began edging toward the
| post. When ready for business he made
a sudden plunge and caught the man by
the shoulder. The old horse meant
wickedness, but there was o surprise in
store for him. AS he lifted the figure
off its feet and gave it shake it fell
apart, and his mouth, nose and eyes
were filled with the smarting powder.
Great tears rolled down his long nose,
he sneezed and snorted and coughed
and he was just as chagrined at the
general laugh on him as a man would
have been. He backed away from the
remnants, opened his mouth to cool it,
and hung his head in shame. He did
not cease weeping for half day, but
when he got so that he could look the
public square in the face he was q
changed horse. Anybody can pull his
ears or rub his nose with impunity
In fact, he courts caresses where he
defied them, and on the approach of a
stranger will shut his eyes and mouth
as If fearful of another dose.

matter any attention untll one after
noon, when two young ladies who had
been In Sampson's woods gathering au.
tumn leaves incidentally remarked that
that they saw little black dog lying
along the fence as though sick and at
the point of death. The utterance was
overheard by the little girl whose dog
was lost, and she at once concluded that
the unwell canine was her property. On
the following day she proceeded to the
spot described by the young ladies. The
large dog led the way, barking and wag-
ging his tail. Arriving ut the woods
/. she discovered her pet dog, almost fam
ished, and tied to u huge stone with q
chain, evidently the work of some mis-
chlevous boys. The halEstarved dog
was SO weak that II could not stand. 1t
was surrounded by the bones that had
been carried TO II by It's large and faith

of meat as though they had been boiled.

little one, 1t probable would have died OF

Postmaster James. Since then Mr..
Brown has offered the two ad.
ditional cottages, one for the
Presidents children and attendants and
the other for the physicians and men,

tage is build in the old Queen Anne
style, with snuff-covered roofs running

LOUISVILLE, KY, September 6.-The
Lexington reporter of the Courier Journal
in an interview, asked Gov. Blackburn:
"Are you still OF opinion, Governor,
that Mr.. Garfield will die?"
81 am. don't think the lately re
ported improvement will amount to
anything. l think the ball struck his
spine, and that it has now gone down,
carrying with it considerable pus, which
OF course in the absence of an outlet,
will form another pus cavity. l don't
think he is strong enough to
get through. The nutriment he
received in my opinion is not enough
to carry on the work OF repairing the
broken rib, assist him TO stand the pus
drawn and at the same time enable him
to grow stronger. His death would be
great calamity, but am afraid we will
have to meet it. Pointing to tall To-
Gust tree Just outside OF the ring around
the judges stand at the fair ground,
Gov. Blackburn said, II don't think
there is any more chance for him to get
well than there is for you to jump over
that tree" A short distance off stood
Hon. J. G. Blackburn. Calling him
aside, the correspondent asked him his
ouipion of the Presidents condition.
He replied:
II think he is being butchered by the
doctors, and that he will die"
Mr.. Blackburn then went on to speak
in the highest terms OF the President,
whom he had known we'll. Said he:
81 have served on committees and
sub committees with him very often,
and always found him splendid fellow.
AS far as he is concerned he will do bis
duty and treat the South with kindness"
"Do you think that in case OF his
death and after the universal expression
of sympathy from the South the Stall
wart element that would succeed to
pow,r conld have the temerity to treat
the South with unkindness?"
"Why, certainly they could. II you
would turn the executive over to the
devil you could not make it worse than
they will if Garfield dies"
