So Glad the Party is Beaten.

The Tribune joins in the hurrah over
the defeat of the Republican mayor in Philadel-
phia. 1t says: "An friends of honest and eco
nomieal government will rejoice at the defeat of
the Philadelphia ring" The readers of the Tn
bune and Times were greeted with the same sort of
hapdoodle when the late Mr.. Havemeyer and the
later Mr.. Cooper were elected mayor. We predict
that the Democratic reform mayor in Philadelphia
will turn out as great a fraud Cooper. There
was just such rejoicing in the Tribune Office when
Davis was elected Senator over Logan.-Ne1G York

Sweetness.
The daintiest piece of sweetness that kn

The daintiest piece of sweetness that know
Is standing now behind that curtains lace;
Withdraw the curtain softly from its place
And you may see the sweet il screeneth So
The sunniest head that ever caught the glow
0fsunshine on it; the most flower-Iike face
That ever made you dream a minutes space
Of orchards when the apple blossoms blow;
Petite, piquant, and ah a sad coquet
She makes you plead for kisses times untold,
And at the last denies you, and will fret
And purse her mouth and bride if you scold.
She is my queen and her slave, and yet
This same coquet is only two years old.

Ship Railways.

Captain Eads' proposed ship railroad
has precedent in Germany, where vessels of sixty
tons capacity are carried overland from the upper
to the lower part of the Elbing Oberland Canal in
West Prussia. This ship railroad has been in sue
cessful operation for over sixteen years but when
the idea was first broached it ridiculed by
everybody. Even then, however, there had been
precedent for the scheme in road over our AL
leghany range, on which four-ton canal boats
were carried

THE action of the House committee in
eliminating the appropriation for the
continuance of the consular reports is a
very foolish stroke of economy. The
amount required is not large, and it has
been demonstrated beyond cavil that the
value of these publications is material
matter to business interests.

The Serton,. Woojug

The sections sweetheart's name was Nell,
And she was called the village belle;
When hope had made the sexton bold,
One night his love for Nell he TOLD,
While to his neck she fondly elung,
And lovingly her hand he wrung;
Her sentiments with his Just chimed,
And his appeal she thought well timed,
And having TOLD his love so well,
She whispered he might ring the belle.

A BOND that can be utilized to fund the
loose change of the public is just exactly
a thing that is needed. And, the interest
being as low as three per cent, it will be
more likely to remain available for such
purpose; in fact, the lowerthe rate within
reason the more useful in this direction
it will be.

A late Kansas City special says
the situation in reference to the
Sharp Curve robbery, on the Chi
cago and Alton raj road, remains the
same. No more robbers have been
captured but the officers are still on
the hunt. They are aided by
knowledge obtained from young
Chapman, who it is now certain has
made a full confession, and more ar
rests are expected soon. The Off
GERS found a large quantity of plum
der taken away from passengers in
a cave, four miles from the scene of
the robbery, in an unfrequented part
of the country. A later dispatch
says that seven of the supposed rob-
bers have been captured. They
were men who lived near the scene
of the robbery, and who are sup
posed TO constitute the greater num-
Der Of the robbers, led by Jesse
James.

A BRUTAL ASSAULT UPON A DELICATE
LADY.

4 BRUTAL ASSAULT UPON A DELICATE
LADY.
We have learned the particulars
ofOne of the most dastardly and
cowardly affairs which has ever
come to our knowledge. 1t occur
red last Wednesday night at Rog-
ersville Junction. 1t seems that
Mr. johnson, the railroad agent at
chat place, and his wife, have for
some time past been boarding with
one Mccullough. A son of Me-
Cullough, named Henry, with his
wife, were living or boarding at the
same place. On Wednesday, Mrs.
Mccullough, wife of Henry, and
Mrs. Johnson, visited some friends
at Whitcsburg, and returned on the
train after dark. During the same
day Henry visited sWhitesburg, it
was supposed to get whisky. At
any rate the ladies were told of his
presence in Whitesburg, and on
their return spoke Of it to the father
of Henry, not lsaowing of Henry's
presence when hey SO spoke. But
he heard them ana became greatly
enraged, cursed his ssEife and acted
the brute generally. Mrs. johnson
it seems at last affirmed something
that Mrs. Mccullough said, when
Henry turned upon her and cursed
her bitterly, using such vile langu-
age that she slapped him, when the
brute turned upon her, knocked her
down with his fist across the rail
road ties, jumped upon her with his
knees, beat her with his fist in a
terrible manner, and finally picked
her up and threw her off the track
on to a pile of rock moro dead than
alive.
Mrs. johnson is a small, delicate
lady, weighing perhaps 100 pounds.
She is a granddaughter of Rev.
Woodson Taylor, a daughter Of 7.
II. Evans, formerly of Morristown-
is of good family and is highly re-
spected.
We are told by a gentleman who
has seen her, that he has not seen
even man so badly bruised up in
years as she is. She is confined to
her bed seems to be seriously in
jured, and it cannot be known
whether she will recover or not
The man, Henry Mccullough, was
arrested on the night it occurred,
but escaped from the officer, and is
skulking, where, it is not known.
Wherever he is, LET him be spotted
by every gentleman, and treated as
he deserves.

The fourth civil district of Knox
county was the scene on the 14th of
a thrilling tragedy, in which jeff
McBee, a white boy, was probably
fatally shot by Scobe Pride, a color
ed youth, the latter aged Il years
and the former II years While at
the house of the latter, Scobe Pride
seized an old army gun, and wheel
ing around pointed the gun at Jeff
McBee, saying Pm goln' to shoot
YOU" and pulled the trigger, The
entire load, which was of heavy
slugs, took effect in the front of
Jeifs right shoulder, which was
literally shivored to pieces and shot
entirely off, almost, and the boy
fell as if dead. Scobe has the char
acter of being a desperate and reck-
less boy, beyond all endurance in
the neighborhood. he gives as his
reason for shooting JEFF thati it was
to avenge an old grudge, saying
that jeff had thrown rocks at him
and called him a niger" and he
had retortod, calling jeff 'poor
white trash.

Nashville is undergoing her an
nual agony of selecting Mayor.
The election takes place next Satur-
day and the Democrats are trying
to beat the present incumbent, Ker-
cheval, with z. III. Stahlman, Esq,
late a prominent member of the City
Council and a splendid and popular
gentleman. But with the recollection
of previous experiments of this sort
we are prepared to read ip Satur-
days night dispatches the thrice told
explanation of the result in words
and figures something akin to these :
" There are three or four hundred
Democrats in Nashville who wont
vote against Tom Kercheval for any
one but their own man, and their
own man was not nominated this
time" Lucky, clever, efficient Tom
Kercheval
