in Memphis have sent to Northern roll
ing mills for quotations Of No. 80 sheet
iron, to be used for covering cotton
bales. The present covering is used
solely on account of its cheapness, but
as it admits sand and moisture, i: causes
a considerable waste of cotton. If
adopted, 1ch bale would require a sheet

Mr.. Locke (''Nasby'), who has recent
" returned from a tour of Ireland, and
who is in Chicago, declares that the
squalOr, misery, and helplessness of the
poor people Of Ireland exceed the power

is infinitely worse than was ttat of the
blacks of our Southern States during
slavery. According to his representa-
tions, the farmers of America have more
regard for the comfort and care of their

Ireland have for the comfort and welfare

St. Louis Republican; The Georgia

ment of the anti-MOrmOn law against
the polygamy preachers sent from Salt

They are right, for while the State has
nothing to do with religion, it has got "a
good deal to do with crime. The en-
couragement of polYgamy is crime,

vigorous war against it."

Tom COrwins Welcome TO His SOn.ln.
Law,

At themarriageo of his oldest daughter,
Eva, to Mr.. George r. Sage, a young
lawyer of Cincinnati, Corwin manifested
so much feeling that the occasion took
more of the aspect of a funeral than of a
wedding. During the ceremony he
shed tears, and at the supper, after a
prolonged and solemn silence, he sud
denly broke out:
snow want it distinctly understood
that this thing is never going to happen
again'i in this house. There will never
be another wedding here. will get a
niger six feet tall, and give him pole
ten feet long, and post him at the front
door, and instruct him to knock any
young man in the head who comes to
sec my daughters"
Gen. Garfield relates that. shortly be-
fore Corwin's death, when he returned
to Washington from a flying visit to
Lebanon to attend the marriage of his
youngest daughter, he referred to this
marriage of Eva, and said that he shut
himself up in his room for three or four
days before it occurred, and could not
be persuaded to take any part in the
preparations, and only on the most
earnest solicitations did he come down
to witness the ceremony. He said: 81
could not endure the thought of my
daughter loving another man better than
myself; and yet she married noble
fellow. And now the old feeling has re-
turned. l tell you had horrible time
