THE AGONY OVER.
Judge Howell e. Jackson, of
Madison County, Elected u.
s. Senator.
Col. Scion L. Rose Escapes the
TOga by the Skin of His
Teeth.

The balloting for u. S. Sen ator
in the Tennessee legislature result
ed in the election, yesterday, OF
Judge Howell E. jackson, of Madi
son county, at present a member OF
the lower House, by decided ma
jorlty. Judge jackson is a sound
democrat, lawyer of decided abili-
ity, aud gentleman of rare culture
and refinement. His family is one
of the best in the state and has al
ways welded great influence. He
is brother of Gen. W. II. jackson,
OF Nashville, and is comparatively
a young man, being about forty-five
years OF age. Judge Jackson be
longs to the state-credit wing of
the democracy.and voted for Sena
tor Bailey. until that gentleman's
name was withdrawn. Those who
know him say that he will adorn
the position to which he has been
elected and wear with credit the
mantle of his predecessor. His
election removes all fear of republi
can ascendancy in the U. S. Senate
and goes to prove that the state
credit and low tax democrats were
patriotic enough to bury their dis
sensions for the public good. Judge
Jackson is also serving as a mem
Der of the arbitration court for
West Tennessee.
The Both ballot was the one Of
most interest TO our people, and we
regret that we were unable TO hear
all the particulars before going to
press. Upon that ballot Col. Scion
Z. Rose, of Pulaski, was elected;
but before the result was announced
and amidst great confusion, mem
bers commenced to change their
votes, until finally Judge Jackson
was elected. Col. Rose was at
home, and the first intimation he
had of this result was several tele-
grams of congratulation. He re-
tanned his composure, however, and
refused to be elated until q more au-
thentic announcement reached him
than mere congratulations. Upon
yesterday afternoon, When tne
wires were yet warm that transmit
ted the news of.his defeat, we went
to his Office to interview him and
found him absorbed in a game of
whist, as II he had never thought of
wearing the toga of Senator. That
he was Senator for a few minutes
there is no doubt, and even then,
while the changes were being made
that defeated him, it is said he led
Judge jackson in the race for full
half hour. 1t is interesting to re-
member that at the convention to
candidates for Supreme
Judge at Nashville two years ago,
Howell E. Jackson received the
vote of Giles county
upon 80 ballots, Col. Scion E. Rose
the vote each time.

How Our FOrests'are Used Up,
From the Rochester Democrat.

From the Rochester Democrat.
Our forests are rapidly going,
while no adequate provision is be-
ing made to restore them. The
State of New York has a great park
full of timber in the northern will
derness, but annual fires are making
havoc in that regions The great
woods are probably losing more
than they gain from annual growth.
Wood is becoming more scarce and
inaccessible every year. In many
States the forests on level ground
have mostly disappeared, and only
remain upon high hills c. noun
talns, which are not easily accessi
bic. The Monetary Times tells
how the forests disappear:
To make shoe pegs enough for
American use consumes annually
100000 cords of timber, and to
make our lucifer matches, 100000
cubic feet of the best pine are re-
quired every year. Lasts and boot
trees take 100000 cords of birch,
beech and maple, and the handles

OF our bricks consume 100000
cords of wood, or what would cover
with forest about $4,000 acres of
land. Telegraph poles already up
represent 100000 trees, and their
annual repair consumes about
100000 more. The ties of our
railroads consume annually thirty
years growth of $4,000 acres, and
to fence all our railroads would cost
$40, 100000, with a yearly expehdi-
ture of SIS, 100000 for repairs.
In the Northwest there has been
a very rapid destruction of the for
ests, and much solicitude is felt as
to the future source of timber sup

featured TO some extent in Kansas,
and is said to answer the purpose
very well Straw lumber may be
the lumber of the future. The re-
fuse straw from the great grain pro
ducing States of the West will be
utilized. Instead of raising trees,
the land can be devoted to grain,
which may be sold, and the straw
used for lumber. Coal for fuel and |
straw for inside finishing may re-
lieve the pressure on forests and |
give them a chance to grow.

a. SWEET EVANGELIST.
An Old Offender Caught at
Prayers in Baltimore and
at Swindling in Wash
ingtOn,

BALI more, Jan. 20.-The arrest
of Charles Ashley, alias Sir Charles
Ashley, in Washing on, on a charge
of swindling, has csnsed much
comment here, where only six
weeks ago he conducted a revival
service at the Maryland Institute,
advertising himself as the great
English evangelist. His labors in
this city closedvery abruptly and he
disappeared. The reason as said to
have been that gentleman, form
erly asresident of New YORK, recog-
nlzed the evangelist as Sir Charles
Ashley, a spurious baronet, who
had figured in New York society in
1878, ard had been forced to de-
camp owing to revelations then
made. The gentleman waited I'M
til after service one night, and then
charged Ashley with his frauds, &C
counts of many of which have been
published in the American and Eu-
ropean papers. Ashley, after some
brayado, signed the following pa
per: . - ~

associated with that which l must
admit is Inconsistent with the prop
er life of an evangelist, / desire to
say that while | have at times fall

should not have done, l am never

cuse, the weakness of human ma
ture which l had so frequently al
luded to in my;public discourses.

it not been for Gods mercy in

heretofore referred to. ] must al
so ask this Christian community
their careful consideration Of the
frankness which prompts me to
this act, as also their prayers that
l may remain steadfast e-the end.
To err is human; to forgive divine.

was learned that he had misbehaved

account Of the arrest of a man an

A most extraordinary progress IS
apparently about to be entered on
respecting the utilization Of cotton.
The particulars of the process are
briefly as follows: Instead of
picking the cotton in the fields, the
stalks are pulled up by the roots
and hauled to buildings or sheds.
Clippers, are used to cut off the
limbs. and then cut of the bolls.
The cotton is taken from the bolls
by a hull separator, The Stalks
and the limbs with the bols cut off
are ready to go the vat to be made
ready to have the jUte taken off;
the bolls are ready to go to the pa
per mill; the seed co ton is ready
to 60 to the Clement attachment
mill. Cotton picking with human
fingers is dispensed with The
roots will probably give a good
pefcentage of cotton manila. The
yield will, therefore, be cotton lint,
oil cake, cotton manila, seed bulls
(to add. to lubricating compounds) },
and bolls to make brown paper. >

From official record, we learn that
over sixty thousand persons die annu-
ally in the United States from pulmo-
nary consumption. In each of these
cases there was first or incipient stage
OF the disease, when all the life forces
and organic structures were yet unim-
paired by his encroachments. If at
this time an agent had been found which
could give to the system a higher de-
gree vitality, and so enable it to resist
the deadly assault, this perilous crisis
would have been safely passed And
not this one only. In every subsequent
assault of the enemy, especially where
there existed some hereditary faint, a
prompt resort to the same re-vitalizing
agent would have given like relief and
immunity. Now, it is confidently
claimed, and the claim is substantiated
by the results of over twelve years. ex-
perience of its use, that just such an
agent has been discovered in Compound
Oxygen, the use of which is rapidly ex-
tending. If you wish to learn all abont
this new treatment, address Drs. Starkey

will promptly mail you their Treatise on
