A Lucky Thing.
NnII S,fnnot Mans

Two or three years ago there was
smash up OH the Grand Trunk
road, and among the killed was Il
lived on the line. The husband
was sent for, the body taken cane of
and after a few days an agent went
down to see how the matter could
be settled. sit is a sad thing, of
course" he observed, "but in Il
business point OF view we must
look at her age. She was over 80
and in poor health; then she had
weak eyes and Il bad cough. She
was wife, of course, but she was
| also a source Of expense and ankle
ty. While she was companion in
one sense, she had hacking cough,
and snOred in her sleep. Take all
these things into consideration,
and then tell me what you will set
tie fOr?"
The peppnry old man had been
moving about uneasIly, and as
soon as the agent was through he
called out:
81 don't kerr how old she was
| nor how bad She cOuGhed, nor how
| loud she snored / want this ere
railroad company to come down
with three hundred dollars, or I'll
sue 'em till they can't rest! And /

Newspaper Postage
Cincinnati Gazette.

The Postmaster General has sug-
gested that all postage On regular
newspapers be abolished. Govern
ment has set Il strong precedent lor
this, and has made it Il claim of JUS
tice by carrying newspapers free to
any part of the county i'll which
they are published. The same rea-
son would carry them wherever
they circulate. The reason is >tron-
ger for the papers whose higher
qualities give them IL general circu
lation. This provision is for the
people; why should Government
restrict the freedom of the people in
their newspaper reading? So hong
as Government carries inteilige. &C
for the people free, let it carry such
as they choose. instead of saying
that il they will take local paper
they shall have it carried free but il
they take amy other they must pay
for carrying it. and pay enough
more To make up Tor those carried
free TO others. And there are many
counties i'll which no paper is pub
lished; why exclude the inhabit-
ants OF these?
Congress has dealt harshIy with
the newspapers. II was done for
spite, because the leading Republi
can papers condemned the ranking
privilege for the great abuse of it.
1t exempted the local papers to
subOrn them. 1t imposed on put
fishers the burden Of prepayment
on their circulation. Its rate on
single papers is inorlinately high,
rs compared To letters. And in the
cities, where there is delivery by
carrier, it does not even allow the
free delivery of newspapers by cal
rier, nor the delivery at pound rates
But Congressman have got back
their franking privilege; now lGt
them take off the penalty from the
city papers.

Ask Joe Fowler which was the
most popular boat that ever turned
a wheel on the Cumberland river,
and he willsay the
BULLY TYRONE.
This well-known steamboat was
built at Louisville in 1864. The Off
GERS who won far this famous old
boat. her great reputation We're Tom
Harmon, Master Wash Weaver,
Clerk; Charley Toney, Mate; Dick
Weston, Engineer; Fayette Spiller,
Pilot; Bob Galley, Carpenter; Jim
Parish, Barkeeper, and Sam Smith,
Steward. A crew of gentlemen
that had no Supporters in the per-
Torrance of their respective duties.
One of the attractive features that
made glorious the renown of the
Tyrone was her band of music,
which consisted of two or three nc
gro fiddlers and a big Dutchman,
who vigorously blowed his horn at
every landing. et
In the spring of 1870, Admiral
Lee, of the McCracken navy, intro
duced the grand old Armada, with
all her blushirg honors, won in the
Evansville and Cairo trade, thick
upon her, into the Cumberland
river az a regular Nashville and
Cairo semi-weekly packet. She
was fast, made the time easily, but
her expenses were heavy, her re-
ceipts light, and she lost money
every week. The Tyrone was then
fiourishing in the full glory of her
popular glory. The boat never
failed to make trip without being
crowded with passengers who were
entertained by her captains funny
stories, enlivened by music and
dancing, RECALLED with the bar-keep-
er's striped candy and vinegar tod
dies, and feasted by the Steward
with the very best the boat stores
and markets could furnish. When
ever these two rival packets would
meet, that band would certainly
appear in full force and loudly play
"Shoo Fly" This tune and the OPP
position boats big trips always put
Captain II. Y. Northern in bad
humor, in fact dive like sweet
ness of temper is not this Changers
best point no how. On one Occa-
sion the Armada, with one Of her
usual graveyard trips on board,
was fairly flying up the river, and
her dinner Was just about being
served, when the familiar sound OF
the Tyrone was heard. Consider
able commOtion ensued, the passen-
gers unceremoniously left the table,
the cabin boys all iii out, the negro
rOosters loudly hallowed, and every
body except the irate captain, rush
ed frantically out on the guards to
see the passing steamer. Quiet and
order having been restored, the
steward, accompanied by about Il
half dozen of his boys approached
the captain, and very politely asked
what he would have for his dinner

The whiskey question is simply
question OF fact. If the saloons OF
Il State or city DO more good than
they do injury; il they build up
more houses than they curse; il
they make more honest voters than
corrupt ones; if they build up more
families than they degrade; If they
make more honest men than GRIM
inals; more wealthy men than pau
pers; then the man is not honest,
not fair, nor manly, nor worthy to
be voter if he refuses to vote to
continue the saloons. If saloon is
a blessing, a man is an enemy TO
the cOmmOpWealth and civilization
il he opposes it or votes to destroy
it, But if the reverse is true-if the
sOlO0n is an enemy to s0cietyi if it
cOrruptS voters; if it fills prisons /;
il il crowds poor houses; lift breaks
warm hearts, il it beggars children,
how can we vote for such curse
a vote to place men in Office or
keep those in office who wink at
the existence OF saloons is simply
a vote against law, against good
order and against good morals. The
whole question is: What is the re-
lation of the saloons TO society. On
~ this and nothing more.
The above words of wisdom are
clipped from the editorial columns
of that leading paper, the Dispatch,
edited by the Hon. w. w. Walton
and Mr.. Valentine, a son of Judge
Valentine, of Topeka. 1t is un-
doubleday the view taken on the
question by the ablest and leading
men of our State.

No Cure for LIARS.

of the chances for a cure.

A Fearful Biunder.
Vicksburg Herald.

We print the Democratic latfOrm
of Tennessee. 1t suggests the rcpu-
diatiOn OF nearly one half of the
debt of Tennessee. With the eX-
cPptiOn OF the State debt proper
that is, the debt for the capitol, the
Hermitage, and SO fOrth-it advo-
Gates the reputation of OnC-h half the
debt. Ii there is any good reason
to repudiate any, why not all. II
the honor of the State is not COM
promised by repudiating Il portion,
it would not be by repudIating the
whole. The truth is, the party has
made Il fearful blunder. 1t has sac
riticed its good name, given the lie
to all debt-paying talk, and will be
just as odiOu5 to all the creditors OF
the State as if it had determined to
rupudiatc all the railway bonds.
Certainly the Tennessee Democrats
will have to keep quiet about Ma
hone and the Fishbackers of Ar

fully selects his breeding ewes, an
nually culls out the old and inferior
stock to fatten for market, and colt
stantly keeps at the head of his
flock Il thoroughbred male, if he
cannot afford to start with purely
bred ewes. No other kind OF stock

growing, if properly attended to.

we take the following anecdote
from one of the New York dalicS
Horace b. Clatlin, one of the most
prominent dry goods merchants OF
New York, was alone in his office
one afternoon, when q pale, care
worn young man timidly Knocked
and entered. "Mr. Clatiin," said

"Have a cigar, then ?'' .
"NO, | never smoke"
"Well," said the merchant, 81

"Nery WELL" said the young
man, as he was about to leave the
room, 81 thought perhaps you

"Hold on" said Mr.. Clatlin, "yOu
don't drink ,"

Nor smoke, nor gamble, nor
anything of that kind ?''
"NO, sir"
"Wcll," said Mr.. Clailin, with
tears in his eyes, "you shall have it,

wish it. Your father let me have
$4,000 once, and asked me the same
question. No thanks owe it to
you for your fathers sake"
