A ~. .surnnroN snecial to the G


A WASHINGTON special to the Gin
cinnati Commercial, says of Blaines
eulogy:
Guided by his good common
sense, by his delicate taste, by his
appreciation of the proprieties, Mr..
Blaine's brilliant pen glided over bis
blac.- bordered, manuscript until it
wrote the last word in eulogy
which at once tender and noble IN
sentiment, and graceful and tasteful
in style, will hereafter rank as clas
sic. It is superior to that which
George Bancroft delivered over the
first of the martyred Presidents, in
every respect. In it the truth of
history is succinctly stated, and the
character of the manly man vino is its
subject, is set forth perspicaciously
by the master hand of one who
loved him well. 1t abounds in
delicate touches and beautiful
expressions, and throughout it all
runs a slender but strong thread of
poetic thought.
MIR. Blaine's oration was like Gar
fields character, a combination of
the strength of man and the sweet
ness of woman, and it possessed for
auditors to-day the same irresis-'
tible attraction which Garfield in
his highest efforts possessed for
every one around him. Lofty in
tone, touchingly tender in sentiment,
exquisite in expression, its close was
like the ceasing Of beautiful
symphony. and no one of the
| thousands who heard it will ever
| forget it. The one thing
which everybody was anxious
| to hear was SO much OF the
address as referred to the bitter
strife of last summer which resulted
in the death of Garfield. MIR. Blaine s
enemies said he would make some
damning blunder when he reached
that point. His friends knew, how
ever, he would acquit himself, and
feared nothing. The occasion JUST
fed their confidence. Standing In
the presence of the living and the
dead, James G. Blaine never rose
higher than when he touched with
DELEGATE hand upon this most
regrettible episode in the history OF
the nation.

Lost at Sea.

CHARLESTON, S. c., March 1.-The
yacht, Eva, from Norfolk to Jackson
vile, was capsized in a squall, at 5
a. NJ, off Charleston Bay, to>day.
She sank with masts barely above

She had on board Capt. w. B. Shils
don and DR.. E. B. Townsend; also
the mate, two seamen and the stew>
ard. By quickly securing the SMALL

wreck above the water. they saved
themselves, and in this situation
they were fallen in with at II a. m.

The course, wholesale assault
made upon the Republican justices
OF the peace of Knox County, is
stupid, untruthful and malicious. In
point of morals, common deceney
and common sense, nineteen-twenti-
eths of them are so far superior to
the writer of that editorial, that no
such thing as comparison can be
thought of.

THE Tribune, speaking of Knox
County Republican sheriffs, says
thev have no qualifications, no sense
Of order, decency or quality. This
is a serious charge if it came from
a respectable source, but the source
makes it rather complimentary than
otherwise.

ONE peculiarity of Mr.. Blaine's
speech is, that the first person sim
onIar does not occur in it. It is a
model of good taste from beginning
70 end. Mr.. Blaines enemies were
greatly exercised, lest he should turn
the occasion to his own benefit. His
name appears to be a terror to some
people.

Knoxville.
Bristol Holston Methodist.


The growth of Knoxville, Tenn, is very
rapid, and very substantial as well. Her
climate is unsurpassed and her healthfulness
proverbiaL Her railroad facilities are in
creasing and promise to be ample il the
near future. Her cheap fuel, cheap labor,
and abundance of minerals, all invite the
manufacturer. No town boasts better
class of business and professional men. Her
social, literary and religious institutions and
opportunities are excellent. These all con-
spire to rapid growth and development.
The latest achievement is the organization
of company of resident business men,
with large capital, to build cotton factory.
With the closing of her saloons, and the
consequent removal of drunkenness and
vagabondism, Knoxville, on the Tennessee,
would be one of the most lovely of all the
towns

Democratic Dictator.
Memphis Avalanche,

Brother Rule has no occasion to
be alarmed about Harris being the
King of Tennessee. It is only pro>
posed to make him a sort of Demo
cratic dictator to reorganize and har-
monte the very much disorganized
and inharmonious Democracy. Broth
er Rules party has no concern with
that. Not to be impoite it is none
of his business.

THE New York Sun is one of the

Washington Special to the Courier
Journal: 1t was mastery and complete
eptome of busy life, a solid brick of
metal from which may be hammered as
many voluminous lives of Garfield as men
may essay to write. The most particular
aud minute of all who may try cannot,
however, safely get outside this mastery
epitomization of his life, work and charac-
ter; there was none of the putting forward
of self that some looked for, and in the
studied absence of it, Mr.. Blaine builded
for the future in tho surest way.

AMONG THE BEST.

New York Herald: When we include
Mr.. Blaine's eulogy of President Garfield
among the best of such American orations
we pay greater tribute to its merit than il
we should compare it with any foreign ex-
amples. Nowhere in the foreign forums of
speech do discourses reach the public ear
from pulpit or from parliament with which it
may not easily challenge rivalry for the dig
nifty of its treatment of the theme, the clear
ness of its descriptive passages, the unity of
its plan, its abstinence from adulation, the
felicity of its language and the pathos of its
close

EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.

Louisville Commercial: Mr.. Blaine's eu-
logy upon the late President will be read
with absorbing interest by millions of peo-
pie, and the general verdict will be that it is
an address to equal the requirements of the
occasion. The peroration is indeed not
surpassed in beauty by anything in the
whole realm of preserved oratory. AS a
tribute to one SO loved and honored this
memorial speech will be forever enshrined
in the hearts and annals of the republic, as it
most nssbiy deserves to be.
