1t is reported that an attempt is
being made to discredit Mr.. Mat
thews, who was appointed associate
justice by President Hayes, in the
public eye, and make it appear that
Eastern influence will cause votes to
be cast against his confirmation. 1t
is known that several of the So
called stalwart Senators would like
to give the Administration severe
blow, and the best way to do it is
through Matthews. Several Sena-
tors say that a nomination Of this
Importance should never be hastily
considered, and hence it may remain
in the judiciary committee for sew
eral days.
Senator Davis thinks that a nom.
nation for the Supreme Bench
should have at least a weeks con.
sideration. Judge Woods nomina-
ton was considered longer than this
There is hardly a doubt but that
the nomination will be confirmed BY
q vote approaching unanimity

ENCOURAGEMENT.

Since our last issue of the weekly
we have received many encourage
ments in the way of good large clubs
for the WIG AND CHRONICLE and many
of our readers adopted the sugges-
ton made and secrued at least one
new name, besides renewing their
own subscription; yet there are
thousands of good Republicans in
East Tennessee who are not taking
the paper, but would take it if some
one would only bring it to their at
tention, and every reader Of the
Wing AND CHRONICLE is hereby ap-
pointed an agent to secure the names
of such persons for our subscription
list. We want ten thousand subs
scribers for the WING AND CHRONICLE,
and we feel satisfied that if every
reader of the CHRONICLE will make
an effort that number can be easily
obtained. When you have read
your paper show it to some one who
is not taking it, and tell him that as
you are subscriber, you can procure
him the paper for year for only
$l.25. Every reader can, if he will
make the effort, add one new name
to our subscription list, and we Cal
assure our friends their efforts vii

however, on account of the attitude
of Senator Conkling, who is not on
friendly terms with the Administra>
ton because of tho recent New
York nominations, especially that of
Forster for district attorney in place
of Woodford. The fact is that
Conkling has been in a bad humor
for some time, but has never shown
so much resentment as of late. Ii
is said that his plan is to rally the
stalwarts against Matthews, and thus
cause the Administration to mourn.
1t is hoped that this report will
amount to nothing and that the
Senate will approve the nomination,
for it is a good one and generally well
received by the lawyers through
out the country, The members of
the Memphis bar, although politi-
cally opposed to MIR. Matthews, at a
full meeting, held on the evening of
the 29th Of last month, unanimously
adopted resolution expressing the
highest satisfaction with his nomi-
nation to the office of associate
justice Of the Supreme Court of the
United States; also requesting
Senators Harris aud Bailey to vote
for his confirmation.

DEMOCRATIC INCAPACITY IRON
DEMOCRATIC STANDPOINT.
What the Washin Ston Post Thinks of
the Present Majority in the House.

the Present Majority in the House.
The Washington Post OF the 3Oth
ut a Democratic organ, says editoti.
ally:
"The Democratic party Is about to
occupy the minority side of the House,
and the cause which, more than any
other, has contributed t. its reduct on,
has been its proven incspacity to dom
mate a Republican minority"
The Post continues: Gin almost all
party contests of the House a few
members of the majority party have
played into the hands of the oppose
ton; they have put on high and holy
acts; they have been proud of the
c)mmendation oftheir opponents. who
have used them and despised them for
being thus used; they have mouthed
mouldy plat tudes about their obligs-
tions to their own sense of duty, ratht r
than the dictst-s of the caucus. When
they have tapped their rhetorical
wings and scared above party their
silly souls have been delighted with
toe incense of Republican praise.
This is the record of the men who
were elected by Democrate-eiected as
Democrsts-men who have begged
emocratic votes, from county to
county, and who had prated long and
loud OF their zeal for the success of
Democratic principles. They betrayed
their party and gave an easy victory to
the enemy-an enemy that csjoles and
flatters such creatures while cherishing
robust contempt for them and their
ways. The party is in a sad predica-
ment when it's success or defeat de-
ponds on three or four, or q half dozen
men, whose appetite for stimulauts
will not give way to any higher seBee."

Capturing Monkeys.


The monkeys are frequently captured in
nooses, and in traps built in the shape of
houses. The only entrance is a trap-door
in tho roof, which communicates with a
trigger set upon the ground. Food is spread
about inside, the monkeys enter, and, Skin
mishing around, disturb the trigger, and the
trap shuts them in. The third method for
catching them is most ludicrous one. An
old, hard cocoanut is taken, ard very small
hole made in the shell.
Furnished with this and a pocketful of
boiled rice, the sportsman sallies into the
forest and stops beneath tree tenanted by
monkeys. Within full sight of those in
quisitive spectators, he first eats little rice
and then puts quantity into the cocoanut,
with all the osteRtatiOn possible. The nut
is then laid upon the ground, and the hunter
retires TO a convenient ambush. The reader
may be sure that no sooner is the man out
of sight than themonkeys race helter-skelter
for the cocoanut. The first arrival peeps
into it, and seeing the plentiful store of rice
inside, squeezes his hand in through the
tiny hole, and clutches a handful. Now,
so paramount is greed over every other feel
ing connected with monkey nature, that
nothing will induce the creature to relin-
quish his hold. With his hand thus clasped
he cannot possibly extract it, but the
thought that if he leaves go one of his breth-
rem will obtain the feast, is overpowering.
The sportsman soon appears upon the
scene; the unincumbered monkeys fly in all
directions, but the unfortunate brute, who
still will not let the rice 60. is thereby hand
icapped beyond hope with cocoanut as
large as himself-a state of affairs quite fatal
to rapid locomotiOn, either terrestrial or ar
boreal The sequel is that he falls an easy
capture to the hunter, victim to his own
greed. Even when caught, he reads in the
actions of his captor a design to rob him of
his rice, and he clutches it all the harder;
and the very first thing he does when the
nut is cracked and the hand released, is to
cram its contents into his mouth. Thoughts
of escape come atterward.

Hints to Young Lady Riders.
IErank LesIie's Lady's Journal1


If young lady be possessed Ofgood nerve,
teach her to ride by all means-not other
wise, as it is flying in the face of Providence;
but do not allow her for moment to i'm.
agine that in the curb-bit, the pommels, and
the strip, there is safety.
First let her learn to sit square upon the
saddle, with light hand upon the rein
the lighter her hand the less her horse will
pull, and vice versa lat using force against
force she has no chance); and let one of her
first lessons be to ride without strip, SO
that any time she may be independent of it,
and never SO ride upon it that her foot
driven home, can not be extricated in q
moment. The habit should not be so long
as to impede her free movements-iust long
enough to cover the foot. Then, in case OF
fall, she might escape unhurt. 1t may
safely be conceded that at least enc halt OF
the accidents to ladies occur in consequence
of cowardlce or nervousness, or what ever il
may be called, which simply amounts to &
want Of nerve to act with determination al
the sudden appearance of an unlocked foI
danger. A scream, and the reins are gone
the horse catches the contagion of fear, and
a fatal casualty, which might have beer
averted by one atom Of confidence on the
part OF the victim, is the consequence. By
careful training this danger may be obviatec
completely.

A Most Marvellous Escape From Death.


One of the most marvellous escapes from
death ever recorded, is that of Xavier Matt
mann, a mason at Ballwyl, a village near
Lucerne, Switzerland. A well had been
sunk there, the sides being walled up with
stones. He went down to the bottom of the
we'll on the Dist of February last, to see if
the work was done properly. While he
was down the walls gave way, but, fortu-
nately beginning with the bottom part, 9th
erwise the falling stones must have killed
the man at once. As it happened, the stones
falling pressed hard upon him but did not
kill him. ''The upper part of the walls
came down by degrees" Mailman reported;
al heard the noise for about ten minutes,
one stone following slowly upon the other.
l was pressed with my back against board,
my right arm about my head, the left arm
upon my chest, the right LEG bent back in
the knee joint, and the left leg stretched out
straight. a big stone was resting upon my
head, slanting toward the forehead; a big,
round stone was upon either cheek, a big
one just under my chin, forcing my head a
little upward against the top stone. The
biggest and heaviest stone l had upon my
chest. Every limb of mine was pressed in
tight with stOnes-a movement, ever so
small, impossible. In this fearful position
stopped from Monday, at 3 o'clock in the at.
ternoon, until Friday evening at Chat is,
fully ninety-eight hours, at n depth of 100
feet below the surface. My hat was pressed
down on my nose, my pipe was stuck fast in
my mouth. The rope which was to have
lifted me out passed along upon my chin,
mouth, nose and forehead, and may have
been my best protection against the stones
pressing together upon my head. Upon me
was perfect darkness. But my presence of
mind did not forsale me, most remarkable
sense of my rescue being quite certain sus-
tanning me with the determination to stand
it. suffered no pains but very hard press
ure, and felt very thirsty. 1 slept repeat
eddy. heard the sound OF bells. L also
perceived when the labcrs of rescuing me
were commenced. 1t was a sound like chick
ems picking corn upon a wooden board.
The sound becoming clearer made me per-
ceive the progress of the work although not
clearly. When | thought the workmen
were within hearing, called out to them"
Friday at noon tho first stone from the head
Of the man buried alive was removed; HI 8
his head and chest were free, and he could
take something TO eat; at he got out
None of his limbs were broken; there was
only some contusions on his body. But the
skin was perfectly insensible for length OF
time.

For an answer she pointed TO the cradle.
He came and stood before her with white
face and folded arms. n |I|I
Tell me why you did this Didn't you
love me well enough to wait for me2"
She went and unlocked drawer and took
out newspaper. Unfolding it and finding
the place, she pointed to it with her finger
and he read the marriage notice.
"W hat of this2" he asked, as be met her
reproachful look. "0h, Mattel you thought
it meant me. 1t is my cousin. am not
married or in love with any one but you.'
"Are you telling the TRUTH" she asked, in
an eager, husky whisper.
And then as he replied, alt is true" she
gave low groan and sank down into u
chair"
"Oh, Paul, forgive mel 1 didn't know
you had a cousin by the same ncme. i
ought not TO have doubted you, .but twas
there in black and white-and-this man,
my husband, came, and / married himr"
With bitter tears she told him how all hap
pened. With clinched hands he walked to
and fro, then stopped beside the cradle and
bent over the sleeping child.
Then he turned and kneeling before her,
said in low voice; 81 forgive you, Mat
tie: be as happy as you can" He took both
ner hands in his and looked steadily, low
ingly into her face. His lips twitched con-
vulsively. II have no right here-you are
another mans wife. Goodbye. God bless
your
And she went down on her knees beside
her sleeping baby, and prayed for strength.
They never saw one another again.
Seventy years oldl Her stalwart sons
and tright-eyed daughters remember her as
a loving, devoted mother, her gray-haired
husband as most faithful wife.
"Never was a woman more patient and
kind, and as good housewife as ever was, y
he said, as ne brushed the back of his old
brown hand across his eyes while looking
down on the peaceful face.
And not one of them ever knew of the
heavy heart and broken hope that had died
in her breast. nor even dreamed of the sac
lead she had borne through life.

The Part Females Have Played in the
History OF the Empire.
London Times

We have played an important part in
Russian history, says the Philadelphia
Record, from Olga, a wise an able ruler OF
the embryo empire in the middle of the
tenth century, to Catherine H., whose long
and brilliant reign of thirty-four wears, end
ing in 1896, exhibits her as the most success
full sovereign of Russia since Peter the
Great. 1t was Sophia, the niece of Constan-
tine, the last Byzantine Emperor, and wife
of ivan Ill, who, toward the close of the
fifteenth century, caused her imperial spouse
to introduce the arts of civilization into the
almost barbarous realm. The good Queen
Auastasia, first of the royal Romanoffs, is re-
lated TO have exercised the most beneficent
influence over her husband Ivan the Terri
Bile. The Grand Duchess Sophia, half sister
of Peter the Great, was singularly able
able and ambitious woman, and her admin
istratiOn as Princess Regent, though brief,
marked notable epoch in the annals of heI
country. Catharine l., and afterwards
Anna, IN the first half of the eighteenth
century, were weak enough to allow them
selves to be controlled, not unlike many
male rulers, by persons of the opposite sex
and they may be regarded rather as admin.
istrative figure heads than otherwise. Eliza.
beth, who reigned from 1910 to 1852, was ar
empress in fact as we'll as in name. She de-
throned her immediate predecessor after he
had been the nominal head of the nation
for about a year. During her reign the
German party was deprived of the undue
influence it had acquired only to abuse it
the Senate was restored to the power assign
ed to it by Peter the Great, her father, and
her career was altogether worthy of hel
illustrious origin. Her successor, Peter Ill.
was noteworthy repetition of history, de-
throned by his gifted and energetic consort
who, as Catharine H., entered upon reigr
whose splendor of achievement and sagacity
of governmental methods compare favor
ably with the career of any monarch the
world Las ever seen.
