We the Democratic party OF Tennessee in
convention assembled do declare,
First-That we are unalt' r:tbly opposed to
the reputation of any OF our state or Ma
tional obligations, and are in favor OF MAIN
tanning inviOlate the public faith.
Sccond-That we recognize the recent
settlement of the State debt made by the
present Legislature us in accord with the
platform of the Democratic party OF
1850, both Safe and National, and as
just and honorable both to the poo
pie and the creditors OF the State, ana de-
clare that it should not be disturbed or read
justcd.
Third-That we are opposed to all class
legislation and partial laws, and to all laws,
the tendency OF which is to impair the obi
CATION of contracts.
Fourth-Wc are in favor of liberal Sys-
TEN OF public schools, so that every child in
Tennessee may have good common school
education. And recognizing the good eff
fectS of what is known as the flour mlie
law" by which the number OF schools has
been increased and crime and vice dimin-
iShcd, we are opposed to its repeal.
Fifth-We favor policy that will compel
railroad corporations, as well as all other
corporations and individuals in tho State OF
Tennessee, to bear their equal part of the
burden OF taxation.
Sixth-We favor the establishment of a
railroad commission, to regulate friCghtS and
tariffs SO as to prevent unjust discrimina-
ton, with such powers as shall protect the
rights of both the people and the railroads
Seventh-We are opposed to a COnstitu-
tional Convention at this time, believing
JlluL tlle necessities lOI Sucn IL convention
do not justify the danger of opening the or
ganic law to amendment, in these times OF
unsettled political opinion.
Eighth-Wc arraign the Republican party
for its reckless extravaganza with public
funds; the issuance of subsidies 10 the favor
ed few; the disregard OF the organic and
fundamental law of the land as set forth in
the Constitution, and for its growing and
increasing advance TO Capitalization 4; for its
system of protection to the strong corpora
tions thereby imposing additional burdens
upon the labOrer, producer and mechanic.

One Of the leading features of the
August number of this popular pc
riodical, is the highly interesting
commencement OF Marion Har-
land's new serial, "a Good Eel
low.' Among the other notable
contributions are, "Nantucket;"
an admirable article by the editor,
Rev. DIR. Talmage, on Decoration
Day-What it Is and What it
Means - "Strect Singing and its
Influence on the Reformdtion in
Germany ~ "Cyprus, Ancient and
Modern !" "How the Rough House
was founded by. Prayer !" 1.-THE
Vocal Music of the Ancient He
brews," by Alfreton 1ervey, etc,
etc. MacDonald's serial, "Weigh-
eel and Wanting" is continued, and
there Is an excellent story by Ella
Rodman Church, entitled, "HOpe
CheStlethwaite's Trouble" There
are also exceedingly interesting
sketches and essays; poems of great
merit by j. Logic Robertson, Gen.
w. III. Browne, etc., and most
comprehensive, interesting and in
structive miscellany. 1.-The Home
Pulpit" has sermon by DIR. Tai
mage, "Do Dreams Mean Any
thIng?" Among the other features
of interest are, "The Collection Bas-
ket," Missionary Notes " "Infor-
nation for the Curious" 1.-The
Drift of Religious Comment"
personal Notes and Comments"
"Obituary Notices." etc, etc. The
illustrations are numerous and fine
ly executed. This magazine should

IN the North American Review
for August, the Rev. Henry Ward
Beechcr writes of progress in Re
ligious Thought" pointing out the
many influences, social, education
al and scientific, which are by de-
grees transforming the whole struc-
ture Of dOgmatic belief and teach
ing. Il. V. POWderly, the official
head Of the knights of Labor, the
strongest union OF workingInen in
the United States, contributes q
temperate article on "'rhe Organs
cation of Labor" The well-knOwn
British military correspondent, Ar
chibald Forbes, writes OF "The
United States Army" dwelling
more particularly on those features
OF our army management which
appears to him to be most worthy
of imitation by the military gov
ernments of Europe. WOmun's
Work and Woman's Wages" by
Charles w. Elliott, is fOrcible
statement of one of the most urgent
problems Of our time. The author
sees no advantage to be derived
from the employment of woman in
mans work, whether OF brain or of
hand such employment, he insists,
only reduces mans wages, and does
not really add to the total resources
of the whole class of workers. In Il
highly interesting essay on 1.-The
Ethics of Gambling" o. B. FrUth-
ingham analyses the passion for
play with rare ingenuity. 1.-The
Remuneration of Public Servants"
by Frank ID. Y. Carpenter, gives
matter for serious consideration,
both to the civil service reformers
and their opponents. Finally,
there is paper ON "ArteSian Wells
upon the Great Palms." by DIR. G.
Y. White, of the Smithsonian In
stitution. The Review is sold by
booksellers generally.

APetrI6ed Corpse.
Sacramento Union.

G.. Clinch, twenty years ago, buri-
ed mt Folsom n child that died at
the age of three years. The little
girls body was placed in coffin
that was inclosed in zinc and her
metrically sealed and that in the or
binary wooden grave box. The
grave was dug in high and dry
ground. Yesterday Mrs. Clinch
and her daughter went to Folsom
To disintcr the body and bring it to
Sacramento to be placed in the fam
lily cemetery lot here. They eXpec-
ted to find only few bones,
and took with them proper box
in which to place them. Their
surprise can he imagined when they
found that the coffin, from which
the grave box had rOtted away, was
exceedingly hcavy-at least three
or four times as heavy as when
placed in the grave. One small
hole only had rusted through the
zine. Tho metal was cut and the
body found to be perfectly petrified.
The child lay before the mother rs
natural in form and features as
when consigned to the grave TWEEN
ty-one years ago.
The features were perfect, and
face, arms and hands like alabas-
ter.
After exposure to the air short
time this perfect whitCness changed
To Il light yellowish, tint with Al
shade of brown. The body was
solid stone, and To- the blow gave
response as would marble. The
clothing was petriiied likewise, and
the bouquet. of flowers upon the
child's bosom and Il little doll that
had been placed i'm the hollow of
one arm were also turned TO stone,
as WAS the hair also, and indeed
everything in the coffin and about
the body. Large numbers of pcO-
pie viewed the body ut Folsom,
and the unanimous judgement was
that Il more perfect specimen of pet
rilicatiOn they had never seen.

"Captin' is got to go? ?" "Yes,

was drifting out into the unknown
