We publish from the Chattanooga
times of Saturday few remarks made
by II. NJ. Doak, editor of the Nash
vile American, in proposing toast
at the recent banquet at the Lookout
Mountain House, overlooking the bat

We give the speech of Mr.. Fl. NJ
Doak, Of the Nashville American, in
proposing toast to "our honored

thing ofthe spirit of the meeting of
the Federals and Confederates, to he
held at Chattanooga in the fall At
the banquet on Lookout Mountain
overlooking the battle field of Mission
airy Ridge, the sentiment was peculiar

Mr.. Doak, arising and addressing
the Chairman, Hon. e. A. James,
said:
Mr.. Chairman: | have a sentiment
to offer which seems to me to suit
with the time, place and surroundings
"a sentiment which may come prop
erly from an association of the press
of Tennessee-representing all shades
of past and present opinion-a senti-
ment which may properly precede the
meeting of the Army of the Cumber-
LAM" and the welcome to be extended
them by the old Confederates. These
high battlements Of Lookout lift us
above the scenes Of old carnage and
battle, as these times seem to be lifting
us above the rude passions which fifty

DiamOnd WaddIng.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercially
GRANVILLE, ONO, June 28.-The
diamond anniversary of the marri.ge
of Mr.. and Mrs. Roland Hughes was
celebrated this afternoon at their
home just south Of this classical little
village. The interest usually attach
ing to so. rare an occurrence was
heightened inAthe present instance.
The friendships which half ceDtu-
rvs residence in a single community,
have known every member of the
family, children, grandchildren and
great grandchildren, 80 in all. All
we're present with invited guests, car
rying the number up to so. The old
house overfowed, and when dinner
was served some of the tables, whose
bounty knew no limit, were set under
the shade trees. The guests outside
the family were from among the prom
inent people Of the village, and the
old settlers congratulations upon SO
memorable and happy an occasion bad
been freely extended to the venerable
pair, and the feast over, all assembled
in the shade in front of the house,
when brief history of the lives Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes was read by a
member of the family.
1t was a story that began over in
Wales, and told of the emigration two
years after marriage, to the New
World, and Of the ups and downs Of
the years that have interviewed. Ia
such year such farm was rented
and in the old house which is still
standing. and children were born and
one of them died. Then a house was
acquired, and every one present knew
the old house. Other children were
born, and there some Of them were
married and two of then died, and
there the story ran down to the event
which had called it forth.
1t was Of the kindest interest be-
cause the writer had kept close to the
memorable event in the family life.
Brief remarks were then made BY
q. B. johnson and Roderick Jones
both of whom bad all their lives known
and greatly esteemed the venerable
couple who formed the center of the
group, and spoke from full hearts to
hearers who were no less moved
Their words were deeh with meaning
and will long be remembered.
An effort bad been made to have
present Mrs. Richards, of New York,
who was present when the wedding
ceremony was performed, in village
in Wales, two generations ago. but the
great age and infrmities of the lady
prevented her making the journey.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes are still both
quite active, and in parting the wish
was expressed by all that there may
be yet before them happy and peace.
full years.

New York Her
Comets may mean bad luck, but they
have their uses, and the present long
tailed celestial kite is just the thing to
blame for the weather. Scientific men
may be satisfied to know that the sud-
den melting of immense masses of ice
and snow in the far north is the cause
Of the remarkably cool and rainy
June, but the general public want
something more definite, something
visible, to blame for fires when they
we're ready for ians, rain when they
expect radiance, a cold night following
the first hot day, and the Genet exact
$ answers their purpose. Had there
been no comet there is no knowing
what the weather might have been as
cribed to. Some people are trying
hard to 6nd some bad influence in the
electric light, others might have
thought the alleged Senatorial Con-
ventiOn to blame, and the Police Com.
missioners might have charged the
mischief to clean streets, and in each
OF these cases some one would have
been offended, but the comet is too
big to be hurt by any quantity Of
abuse, too busy to pay much attention
to anything but keeping in its course,
and too far away to hit back should il
get angry, SO it fully answers the re-
quirements of the very large class
that never is satisfied until it can
blame somebody or something for
whatever is unusual.

Now that every newspaper in the
land is contributing little reminis

the Appeal has taken the pains to
gather up several anecdotes of the
great man which have never seen

Wales called at Carlyles house and
was asked to dinner. The great critic

The Prince was quite delighted
with the sturdy old Scotchman' s
bluntness, and when he got home
laughed very heartily over it.
One day Olive Harper, correspond

afternoon, and begged Carlyle to give
his opinion Of the great writers.
