0bliging a Preacher.

Just back of Missionary Ridge,
Chattanooga, while following the high
way to reach Tunnel Hill, | came
across Il little church half hidden in
the woods. The building was primi-
tive, and the old darkcy who sat on Il
log by the door was more so. After
had made inquiries about the route
and was ready to go on he said
Better git down, boss, an come in

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1882-03-25

Appointment republican, close
and confidential friend of ex Senator
Conkling, and who stood by the latter
faithfully while both were in Congress,
and who has seen Conkling almost
daily Of late, says that Conkling does
not want and would not take any of,
flee at present. He says that had the
Presidents letter offering Conkling the
Supreme Judgeship reached the lat.
ter before the nomination was known,
COnkling would have declined then.
and the public would have known
nothing about it. He says Conkling's
ambition is to return to the United
States Senate from New York. His
plan is to devote himselfto law prac>
tice and to accumulate money enough
TO make him Independently rich for
the next Senatorial election in New
York. Meanwhile, he will keep out
of politics. His friends approve of
this policy, and this gentleman says
that the talk Of Conkling's accepting
office under the present administration
is idle talk. The coming Cabinet
changes is revived in all quarters,
and the general belief seems to be that
at least one Cabinet nomination will
be made in few days. 1t is claimed
by friends Of William Chandler that
he will be nominated for Secretary Of
the Navy this week. The best infor.
nation to be obtained points to
Chambers nomination. There are
rumors Of a coming change also in the
interior Department, but Kirkwood's
friends claim that be will remain.

1t strikes us that people are making
themselves foolish about Sergeant Ma
son the would,be murderer of Guiteau.
While his sentence may appear hard,
let it be rememb ered that his ofense
was great--not that Guiteau does not
deserve death; but Mason was not the
man to execute the law. When "a
guard kills or attempts to kill a'pris
oner, he should be severely punished,
and that is all there is of it. There is
too much sentimental sympathy for
murderers all over the country.

KANSAS CITY, August 15.-Dick Little, a
weil-known member of the old James gang.
was arrested here to-day by the United
States marshal charged with completely in
the robbery of the United States paymaster
at Muscle Shoals, Ala, March IL, 1881. The
amount taken was 5000, and it is supposed
the robbery was perpetrated by Jesse james,
William Ryan, who is now serving twenty
fye-years' sentence, and Dick Little. Little
says he is innocent, and can also prove that
the arrest is the work of the surviving mem
bers of the james gang, who have a grudge
against him for information he gave officers
which led 10 the breaking up of the gang.
LdtG.-Dick LiddilI, or Little, has been
about this city since the commencement of
the work which resulted in the breaking up
OF the james gang, aud has given valuable
aid to the police officials in that direction.
On the 4th instant Deputy Marshal Oyerton
came here from Huntsville, Ala, and after
the necessary process Little was to-day ar
rested. The marshal declined TO reveal any
evidence confirming the suspicion that Little
took part in the Muscle Shoals robbery, and
Little seems confident of his ability to prove
bis innocence, and that the arrest is the
work of malice or revenge. The marshal
left with his prisoner tonight for Nashville,
Tenn. The robbery in question was carried
out with the boldness characteristic of the
james exploits. Three masked mounted
men stopped United States paymaster on
the public highway and relieved him of
$500 in government funds. One man, VIM.
Ryan, loitered behind and was captured
He was given up TO the Missouri authorities
and sentenced 10 twenty-five years Tor par
ticipation in the robbery. One of the three
was Jesse James. Some OF Titles friends
ASSERT that the third was Frank James, but
the Alabama authorities seem to think diff
ferently.

asm prevailed. Lord-Mayor Dawson, in

their struggle was not over, and their efforts
would still be INSTRUCTED. They must en-
deavor to forget the melancholy psst, and
look for glory in the future, in the hope that
ireland, once a province, would again be-
come a nation.

he expressed hope for the future prosperity
of ireland. He said the best monuments 10

Ireland, Wnlch marked MS lie.
The directors of the exhibition presented
an address to the lord mayor, declaring that
in working for their own country they were
not actuated by narrow feelings toward
neighboriDg nations. The lord mayor ex-
pressed similar sentiments. He said the
success of the exhibition was attributed to
the energy of the trades and working classes.
The exhibition was then declared open. Il
is pronounced on all sides 10 be grand
success, especially the machinery depart
ment. Everything is quiet. The people
are gradually leaving the streets.
