REMARKABLE INCREASE IN WEIGHT OF CAT

THE RoADs.-Probably the Oldest nhabitanss
never saw the roads worse than they were last
week. The road from the Bel Air turnpike to
Kellvillc was in places impossible for heavy
teams. On Thursday of last week one of Mr..
Henry Reckord's teams was "stallcd," in a
quicksand near the residence of Mr. J. Alex
Shrivcr, andAt required the united exertions of
sixteen mules, after the greater portion of the
load was taken off the wagon, to cxtricate it.
The road from Bel Air to Edgewood has also
been in fearful condition. 1t has deep holes and
qucksands in it, making travel over it not only
alarming to persons with weak nerves, but
positively dangerous. Last Saturday night week
the late stage was stuck fast in hole in front
of Mr.. Lee Magness's property, and fresh horses
had to be sent down to draw it out The pas.

placed in good condition soon after the lst of

"DHuRA.'-Wc are under renewed obliga.
tions TO Mr. 5. n. Hyde, Of Boothby Hill, for Y
package Of seeds of 'dhura,' or White Egyptian
corn. This was grown last year by Mr.. Hyde
from samples sent to the Baltimore Sm by its
special California correspondent. 1t is entirely
different in appearance from Indian corn, and is
thus described by the Suns correspondent:
"Dhura" is the native name. 1t is far supc-
rior to Egyptian. Plant it as other corn. Be-
ing smaller, put two kernels more in the hill
Though it looks like giant barley, its stalk is
like maize and its crop is larger. All men,
animals and fowls prefer it greatly. For fodder
it is preferable. For mush and pancakes it is
more delicate. 1t does not grow on a cob but
on panacle. Here it is fast supplanting maize.
1t ripens thirty days earlier"
Mr.. Hyde also sends us quantity of his far
famed Egyptian sweet corn and some of ''the
best cantelope seed in America" Those who
have tasted Mr.. Hydc's corn and cantelopes in
perfection know that they are uncquallcd for
sweetness and lusciousness.

Special Rates to the Fair.

Mr.. Ogden, the general freight and tick
agent of the E. T., V. & G. and K. & O.
Railroads, yesterday notified all agents OF
his roads to sell tickets to Knoxville and re-
turn during the week of the fair at the low
price of cents per mile each way.
Gen. r. N. Hood, of the K. & A. Rail
road, not wishing to be outdone in liberal
ity by Mr.. Ogden, has fixed the rate on his
road at so cents for round trip tickets from
Maryville, and correspondingly low rates
from other depots, and will hold his train
each day until $50 p. m. for the accommo.
dation of all who come to the fair. This
will bring hundreds of people who would
not come at regular rates, and the hotels of
our city will be taxed to their utmost to &C
commodate the immense crowd that will
spend the week of the fair in Knoxville.

more prominent and none more
touching than the participation of
our gallant aliens from across the
sea. It was their presence which
gave fresh and vigorous impulse to
the hopes of our countrymen when
we'll nigh disheartened by long
series of disasters. It was their
noble and generous aid, extended
ina period of the struggle,
which led the coming of
our triumphs and made the capitus
lation at Yorktown passible a CEN
tury ago. To their descendants and
representatives who are here present
as honored guests of the nation it is
my glad duty to offer cordial well
come. You have a right to share
with us the associations which clus-
ter abeut the day when your fathers
fought side by side with our fathers
10 the cause which was here
crowned with success, and none of
the memories awakened by this an
niversary are more grateful to us all
than the reflection that the national
friendship here SO closely cemented
has outlasted the mutations of a
changeful century. God grant, my
countrymen, that they may ever re-
main mistaken, and that ever hence
with ourselves and with all the ma
tions of the earth may be at peace.
The President was not interrupted
during the delivery of his address,
but there was great enthusiasm at its
close.

UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS.

UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS.
The features of the political panorama
are becoming SO kaleidoscope, that daily
some new name of interest presents itself to
the general public. Just at this moment
the gentleman whose portrait accompanies
this brief sketch begins to fill the public eye
more fully, and this we say without any in
tention to be humorous in relation to his
corporeal dimensions or weight.
a. Mr.. Davis was born in Cecil County,
Maryland, March 9th, 1915, and was edu-
Gated at Kenyon College, Ohio. He studied
law with Judge Bishop, in Lenox, Mass,
and in the Law School at New Haven,
Conn. In 1886, he settled in Bloomington,
Illinois, where he still resides, and where
he has long exercised great Influence both
socially and politically. In 1845, he was
elected to the lower house of the Illinois
legislature, to the constitutional convention
which framed new constitution for the
State in 1847; was elected Judge of the
eighth judicial circuit of Illinois in 1S48
was elected in 1855, and again in 1861,
and appointed by President Lincoln an AS
sociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States in 1862. In 1877, he resigned
his judgeship and was elected to the United
States Senate for the full term ending 1888.
In 1872 he was nominated by the Labor
Reform party as candidate for the Presi.
dency, with what result need not of course
be mentioned here.
Mr.. Davis is one of the only two indepen
dent members of the Senate upon whom al
eyes are now turned in relation to the vacan
presidency of that body. The other membe,
is Mr.. Malone, who is a man of note also
and of no small weight in this august assem-
bly,, although his avordupois is but trifins
when compared with that of his able col
league, who is said to weigh between three
and four hundred pounds. That Mr. Davis
is an independent member is evinced by the
fact that he has recorded his vote fol
both Republicans and Democrats, al
the necessities of the case impress
him. This fact is of some import
ance at the present moment. Mr.. Davis is
spoken of as possible next President Of
the Senate, as it is believed both partie.
might be brought to regard him in friend
ly light, from his want of factious opposi
ton to either. I'm relation to his chances Of
this position it is, however, asserted thai
Senator Logan indulges a hope of having
him appointed to some Cabinet position, sc
that Republican Senator should be re
turned from Illinois, and in the presen
evenly balanced condition of the Senate
turn the scales against the Democrats.

would be like his, that the authen-

Window wrote asking him to let him
know at what hour he intended to
start, SO that he might travel with

Until an hour after General Arthur

be true or not, one thing is certain,
and that is that it represents the
Washington view upon the relations
of the President and Secretary of the
Treasury The anticipatory call OF
S2,O00,000 is said to have made by
Mr. Window without consulting the
President.
