The convention nominated unani
mously, Jos. II. Russell, of Maury,

lowing platform:
We, the Democratic party of Ten
nessee, III convention assembled, do
declare,
First. That we are unalterably
opposed to the reputation Of any of
our State or national obligations, and
are III favor of maintaining inviolate
the publ faith.
Second. That we recognize the re-
cent settlement Of the State debt
made by The present Legislature as
III accordance with the platforms of
the Democratic party of 1880, both
State and national, and as just and
honorable, both to the people and
the creditors of the State; and de
clare that it should not be disturbed
or readjusted.
Third. That we are opposed to all
class Legislation and partial laws,
and to all laws, the tendency OF
which is to impair the obligation of
the contracts.
Fourth. We are in favor of lib
erai system OF public schools, so that
every child in Tennessee may have a
good common school education; and
recognizing the good effects of what
is known as the four-mile law, by
which the number of schools has
been increased, and crime and vice
diminished, we are opposed to its
appeal.
Fifth. That we favor a policy that
will compel railroad corporations, as
well as all other corporations and in
divlduals III the State of Tenr ssee
to bear their equal part of the bur-
den of taxation.
Sixth. We favor the establishment
of railroad commission to regulate
freights and tariffs, so toas prevent
unjust discrimination; with such
powers as shall protect the rights o.
both the people and the railroads.
Seventh. We are opposed 10 a con

LEGAL DECISIONS.

We copy the following judicial de-
cisions from ByddSiyeeiS' An agent
who has authority to sell is wiihou, pow
er to give credit on the sale /; n special
agent authorized to sell property can
not dispose of it in payment Of his own
debts, in the opinion of the Supreme
Court OF Alabama, in Burke rs. Hub
bard, decided a; the present term.
Certain fixtures in a store which were
necessary to the carrying on Of the trade
were removed by the tenant, and the
landlord brought an action for replevin
TO recover them. In this case, Kirch
as. Davis, the Supreme Court Of Wis
consin, in March, decided that the fix
lures could be recovered by an action
OF rcplevin.
The partial payment OF an undisputed
debt after il is due, though il is acccp-
ted as 4 payment in full, is not an ac-
cord and satisfaction OF the demand I;
but the acceptance Of the promissory
note of the debtor, or any other collai-
cral thing, withou, regard to its value,
will be Il settlement OF the debt, and the
recovery thereof will thereby be stopped,
in the opining Of the Supreme Court OF
Pennsylvania, in Mechanics Bank OF
Harrisburg rs. Huston, decided in Feb
ruary.
4 gave b his note TO take up another
note, which b promised to do, bu, in
stead used it for himself. He was in
dicted for obtaining money under false
pretenses, and was convicted, but the
court arrested the judgment. In this
case, Commonwealth rs. Moore, the
Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania, in Feb
ruary, affirmed the arrest Of the judg-
ment, and the defendant was discharg-
ed. Judge Paxson, in the opinion,
said: a false pretense, to be within the
statute, must be the assertion OF an ex.
isting fact, not promise to perform
some act in the future. The man who
asserts that he is owner OF house states
a fact, and one that is calculated TO give
him a credit. But 4 mere failure TO
keep a promise is another and very diff
ferent affair. That occurs whenever a
man fails to pay his note. 1t is true
Chief Justice Gibson doubted, in Com
monwealth rs. Burdick, . Barr. I6;,
whether every naked lie by which cred
il has been gained is not false pretcnse
within the statute. This doubt has run
its course, and has long since ceased TO
disturb the criminal law OF this State.

THE USELESS YOUNG MAN.

Ha"dsIphia T~e..
This is bad season for the young
man who lives on his father. In fact,
i, may be said that when the SHOWS come
and the north wind blows the young
mans occupation v1nishcs. Like the
bear and the ground hog, the young
man hibernaics until the coming OF
spring. There is o"c vital point Of diff
ference, however, between the bear and
the young man. The bear lives during
the winter off the riches that he has la
bored through the summer to store in
side his shaggy fur, while the young
man, who tolls not through the sum-
mer, subsists on the results of his
fathers brains and industry. Yet
Solomon in all the glory Of past age,
was not arrayed like one OF these young
men. II he had been his reputation for
wisdom would have taken wings and
scared away. Il may be argued that If
the young man is not very useful he does
no; COS, very much to keep. Usually
he may be found seeking sustenance Al
the end OF cane, although the most
expert cooks have never found that soup
made from the knob Of cane can rank
with soup made from beef or green iur
tie. However, the young mans stom-
ach, like his whole organization, is so
delicate that beef soup would bring on
severe attack Of indigestion. Cane
soup, therefore, is more TO his fancy
and is much easier to obtain
The use Of the young man just now is
not quite clear. During the summer he
was needed by the hotel men to keep
up appearances At the resorts. He
didn't give his father much trouble in
the summer months, because the hotels
and the mammas, with unaitractiye but
manageable daughters, took care Of
him; but now ;ha; the cold weather
has driven him from the streets, and the
sharp winds whistle abou; his bamboo
legs like a tornado through the rigging
of ship. he becomes 4 burden TO his
parents and source Of positive anxiety
TO philanthropistS. Occasionally he
creeps out from MS winter hiding place
and moves up and down Chestnut and
Eighth streets, closely watched by the
police lest he should make indecent re-
marks to some poor bu, respectable shop
girl.
These are unfavorable DAYS for the
Young man. The weather is too cold
for walking the streets, the theatres and
the dancing academies do no, need him,
the escort bureau is failure and ambi-
,ious mammas are paving more a;ien-
tion to young men who know how TO
earn decent living. During the win
ter he is OF no apparent use and his I'M
fortunate father puts up margins on him,
like 4 bad investment. hoping for 4
boom in that branch OF stock. Whether
that will ever come is 4 mystery of the
future. What becomes of the young
man in after life is mystery As we'll
Two or three years after his first ap-
pearancc he loses his identity and merges

rying into 'hc distance without thought

LATER YEARS THE BEST.

To a man of middle life existence is
no longer dream but a reality. He
has not much more now TO look for
ward to, for the character Of his life is
generally fixed by that time. His pro-
fession, his home, his occupations will
be for the most part what they are now.
He will make few new acquaintances
no new friends. Ii is the solemn
thought connected with middle age that
life's last business is begun in earnest,
and it is then, midway between the
cradle and the grave, that man begins
to look back and marvel with kind of
remorseful feeling that he let the days
of youth go by so half enjoyed. II is
the pensive autumn feeling-it is the
sensation OF half sadness that we ex-
perience when the longest day of the
year is passed, and every day that fol-
lows is shorter, and the lights fainter
and the feebler shadows tell that nature
is fastening with gigantic footsteps to
her winter grave. So does man look
back upon his youth. When the first
gray hairs become visible-when the
unwelcome truth fastens itself upon the
mind that 4 man is no longer going up
the hill, but down, and that the sun is
always wesiering, he looks back on
things behind. Now, this is a natural
feeling, but is it the high Christian
tone Of feeling? We may assuredly an
swcr, No. We who have an inherit
ance incorup,ible and undefled and
that fadeih not away. what have we to
do with things past? When we were
children We though; as children. But
now there lies before us manhood, with
earnest work and then old age, and
then the grave, and then home.
And so manhood in the Christian life
IS better thing than hoyhood, because
it is ripper thing and old age ought
to te brighter, and a calmer, and
more serene thing than manhood. -
There is second youth for man better
and holier than his first, il he will look
on and not back. There is a peculiar
simplicity Of heart and touching sin.

while the goat has TO raise his self on
his hind legs to execute the same move
ment. One is called buck sheep, the
other battering ram. They are the
only two animals we know OF whose
butt ends are in front.

MANAGING A HUSBAND.

The next best thing to pleasing mans

that il would need but spark 20 kindle

the appeiizing dinner in the act OF being

inch thick on the mantel.piece-he
would not see il broken erockcry and
cobwebs might ill every corner-hc
would look upon them with all the COM
placcncy imaginable, and not attempt
their humiliation. While washing he
tells his wife how pretty she is. how
becoming her hair is arranged in that
fashion, says no other man ever had
such dear little love of woman for 4
wife, asks what she has for dinner that
smells so good, and, though he is really
starving, waits upon the table with all
the grace and politcness Of Chester

for his little wife's plate. During meal.
time he tells her all about his work, asks
her advice in regard to his plans, tells
funny stories, propounds conundrums,
cracks jokes, and renders the dinner
hour very enjoyable affair. After it
is over he makes love to his wife, plays
with the children. sings comic songs,
then goes off to his work, whistling mer-
