In and Out OF Tennessee.
Courier-Journal, o..

For our contemporary, the Nashville
Banner, we entertain sincere respect.
That it is honest, we believe. But it
is mistaken when it appeals to the
Democracy of Tennessee to stake their
all on a local question in order that
they may secure recognition from the
national organization of the party.
Nothing could be more misleading or
fallacious than the following extract,
which we take from recent editorial
in the Banner:
Democracy is the only antagonist
of Republicanism, and Democracy can
win this fight. But aside from that,
there is the national conflict Of 1884
1t is the duty of Democrats to prepare
for their standing within the national
party. No Readjuster can ever hope
to obtain the slightest recognition
from the national Democracy through
any Democratic administration. 1t
would prove the utter destruction 10
the Northern States Of any admins
tration for it to be suspected of the
slightest leaning toward q party which
could deliberately wipe out millions
of public debt, and then at the bid
ding of few leaders restore it
through fear Of defeat, showing that
all principles Of square dealing and
honest finance have been sunk in the
mere effort to fix up platform which
would carry the Readjusters through
the canvass. The Democracy which
organizes now and opposes Readjust-
erism is the Democracy which will
obtain recognition and control in 1S84
and the direction OF national affairs
through the State of Tennessee"
Il The Democracy of the nation is no
likely to trouble itself over mucl
about the details Of the Tennesser
debt, and the Republicans are not il
a position to make an issue of repudi
alton. So the Banner may as vel
dismiss this argument from its list 0
reasons for an independent third part
movement. The Democracy Of tn
nation recognize General William b

Indianapolis News.


A leading undertaken Of this city
says that people generally would be
surprised to learn Of the annoyance he
undergoes from persons who attend
funerals simply in order to obtsin a
free ride. SO troublesome had these
persons become that year ago he
adopted the plan of requesting the
family of the dead to make out a list
OF those friends whom they desired
should accompany the remains to the
cemetery. These persons are women
and the undertaken says there are
about twenty-five of them in the city,
for the most part living on the north
side. They are usually we'll dressed
aud present a lady like appearance.
They 20 to private houses where
a funeral is about to take
place and mingle in a mcurnful
fashion among the mournerS, uotwith-
standing they are entire strangers to
the bereaved family. As soon as the
body leaves the house to be placed in
the hearse, the women, with a detected
air, admirably assumed, station them
selves between the gate and the car
riage approach and mildly request the
to give them seats. 1t
happens that they take
places in carriages to the exclusion Of
friends and relatives. 1t has
come about, hover, since the under
taker has adopted the plan of telling
the friends Of the family, that they do
not come forward if they see that the
underta ker has such list in his hands.
They are, however, in the absence Of
the list, unabashed by the knowledge
that the undertaken knows them to be
chronic funeral goers. The reporter
inquired if the practice was not the
of morbid sense of
pleasure in contemplating the grief Of
others.

The Rich Falher.in-Law.
New York Letter.

Asan item of social news it may be
said that DR.. Webb, son of General
james Watson Webb, who recently
ly married Miss Leila Wander
bilt, the youngest daughter of the
hundred millionaire William II. Van
derbilt, is said to have had a serious
rupture with his wealthy father-in. law.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has welded power a
great many years. His influence is
tremendous. He has brought up a
number of sons, who have all their
lives bent to his will and bumored his
lightest caprice. He rules, and will
not accept dereliction by those he
commands. When young DR.. Webb,
who, by the way, is perhaps the most
unpopular society man in New York,
captured Miss Vanderbilt there was
considerable surprise expressed. She
was never a pretty or particularly
bright girl, but she was the daughter
of her father, which was a pretty big
thing, taken all in all, and she was
mild and amiable. The secret of Dr..
Webb's little game came out. He had
steadily courted the girl from the
time she was ten years old, although
he was very much older than she, so
that when it was time for her to marry
he chung to her desperately, and the
thing was done. Now Vanderbilt pere
is notable FOR his entire Indifference
as to whom his children marry, as
witness Messrs. Sloan and Shepherd,
and so he allowed his daughter to
marry DR.. Webb. In order, no doubt,
to get rid of them, the paternal Van.
derbilt gave the pair his old residence
at Thirty-ninth street and Fifth Ave-
nue., but Mrs. Webb would not leave
the new mansion, andinsisted on stay
ing there with her husband. Imme-
diately after this the doctor was ubiq-
uitous at clubs, with the one refrain Of
how things were done at our house.
Mr.. Vanderbilt tried to set him up in
business as stockbroker, but he
failed. And ever since has been Dor
ing his father-in-law to such an extent
that that eminent gentleman has be-
gun to rebel, and there's PROBABILITY
that an internal rumpus in the Van
derbilt family will result.

What a German Newspaper Say.
St. Joseph volk.blAtt. August 2, issl.l

o. Joseph Noiksolatt, August =, 1881.
We Germans are in general not in
clined to believe at once in great an
nouncements and puffs; we are rather
suspicious, and often with perfect
right, Of exaggeration and humbugs.
Our motto is, What the eye sees the
heart believes" and we therefore de-
sire to see and examine ourselves
before We speak about things and
praise them. This was our idea when
we heard and read so much about DR..
5. A. Richmends justly celebrated
Worlds Epileptic Institute, and we
therefore sent reporter TO the build
ing. We are now able to give the
best information on the subject, based
on a personal review and examination
of the premises.
Our reporter found DR.. Richmond
in his office. The doctor kindly re
ceived him, and not only answered all
his questions, but showed and ex-
planned everything about the place to
him. His Office is on the first floor of
the building, and its walls are covered
with thousands of photographs Of
gentlemen and ladies restored to health
by the use of Samaritan Nervine
among whom our reporter recognized
many OF his own countrymen, and its
glass cases contain innumerable GER
tifcates of cure and letters in praise
of this world famous remedy.
About ten years ago DR.. Richmond
came to st. Joseph. He was then a
poor young man, with but little money
and no friends to assist him. he
rented small Office on Francis street
and commenced the struggle for success
single-handed and alone. lie has
achieved a grand triumph, in the face
of stubborn opposition on every hand,
and is to-day one of the wealthiest
men in our midst. This fact alone is
amply sufficient to show the merits of
his invaluable preparation, even
though there we're no other sources
from which to procure valid and reli-
able testimony.
But besides money which this great
medicine has been the means Of bring
ing to the inventor, the doctor receives
daily the blessing of thousands of pa
tients restored to health and happiness
through his instrumentality. These
letters are open for inspection at his
Office, and it requires two clerks to
attend to this branch Of the business.
DR.. Richmond is living example
to be inflated by all young men who
have disposition to reach eminence
in the world by diligence in the use of
their own exertions, and besides the
enjoyment Of the prosperity which sur
rounds him, he has the satisfaction TO
be regarded a human benefactor.

Sensational Stories About Epi.
denies.
Chattanooga Times, %.

Those who spread reports of yellow
fever in interior cities are scouldrels
who have some end to serve or fools
who love to create a sensation. The
FIRST class should be hanged to any
convenient limb or lamp post. The
other class should find safety and
repose of mind in an idiot asylum for
life. There has been but one case Of
yellow fever even imported into the
United States since January LIST. The
present very stringent and enforced
rules of the National Board Of Health
will insure general notice of the first
case landed at any port from which the
disease may spread. The system of
quarantine and inspection now in
force under that board is as near per-
lection as money and skill can make
it; SO there cannot be the slightest
likelihood that the fever would find a
Judgment in any Gulf or South At
lantic city, and all of the interior not
be in full possession of the fact. We
are OF opinion that the country is not
to have any yellow fever this
season. The importation Of it is so
near physical impossibility
with the present regulations in
force that we may say there are nine
hundred and ninety nine chances in
every thousand against its coming in.
The Mississippi valley is remarkably
healthy this summer. Memphis has
been pretty well severed and paved.
All other cities on the lower river,
including New Orleans, are in fair
sanitary condition. The food for fever
in that region is scarcer than it has
been for many years. We shall prob
ably have healthy year, and he COM
PEELED to satiate our appetite for
horrors on the stories of murderous
cyclones, that reach us frem the
Northwestern States and Territories.
In this connection we must say that
it gives one a poor opinion of the
average intelligence and thoughtful
ness of men and women, to see them
thrown into a state bordering on panic
by the most absurd lies Of professional
liars, who lie about all things which
terrorize the simple-minded. We
confess to feeling like we would be
glad to give the liars about hundred
on the bare back, and their simple
Simon, credulous, thoughtless victims
a cold bath-rut them in a grand tank
full Of floating ice.

A Visit 10 the BarthOIdi Statue
of Liberty.
Cor, Philadelphia telegraph


PARIS, June FL have just returned
from visit to the work-shops on the
Rue Chazelle, where NJ. Bartholdi's
colossal statue of Liberty is now in
process Of construction. The first
thing that struck my gaze on entering
the Enclosure was a mighty frame
werk, towering high in the air like a
lighthouse, its base a vast sweep OF
drapery in copper, with one colossal
foot peeping from beneath its folds.
Around this framework a crowd Of
men were busy, while from the adjoin-
ing workshops came a deafening din
of hammering. My guide conducted
me to the side Of the improvised pc.
destal to show me the right foot Of the
statue, the tip of which rests lightly
upon earth, while under the soul o.
the huge sandal some half a Dozen
workmen were engaged in finishing Of
the interior.
NJ. Roustan, the newly appointed
Minister Of France TO Washington
clambered up into the interior Of thu
foot, but /, being a stout and elderly
party, declined to indulge in sucl
uncomfortable gymnastics. That il

doorway to lead into the interior

sidered by the Senate.
Especial to COnrier- Journal.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-An amend.
ment will be proposed by Senator
Williams TO the River and Harbor
Bill for improving Cumberland river
above Burnside. KY, $4,000. Among
the other important amendments to be
considered by the Senate is one pro.
viding that John Cowdon, with such
others as may be associated with him,
be authorized, on the conditions and
terms set forth, to construct an outlet
for the food waters of the Mississippi
river from a point about ten miles be
low the city of New Orleans to Lake
Borgne, on such lands as they or any
of them may now own or may hereaf-
ter acquire, such outlet to be not less
than one-half mile in width, and Of
sufficient capacity to discharge, at its
greatest hight, at least 100000 cubic
feet per second; and the outlet to be
provided with proper levees or EN-
bankments to preserve the lands above
and below it from inundation. This
is the Cowdon scheme; and it further
provides that as compensation for the
land acquired and used for the con-
struction of said outlet and for the
work and labor and expense of con-
structing, Cowdon shall receive from
the United States 81. 100000, provided
that the flood line of the Mississippi
river to be lowered four feet at New
Orleans within the first sixty days af-
ter the outlet may be made; and that
when said outlet is made if it shall be
found that the food waters of the Mis-
sissippi river have been further low
cred thereby, Oowdon shall be entitled
to be paid the sum of $3.50, 600 for
each and every foot that said waters
may be lowered from the highest known
water mark on an average at New Or
leans, Bayou Sara, Matches, Vicks-
burg, the mouth of White river and

water periods, one of which periods ia

Special to the World.


GALLATIN, June 26.-To-day an
impromptu meeting was held here for
the purpose Of rAtifying the nomina-
ton made by the Democratic State
Convention. Resolutions were passed
sanctioning the wise selection Of the
Democrats. Several gentlemen ad-
dressed the assembly, the first Of
whom was Judge Joe Guild, who
made strong plea for all Democrats
to stand BY the nominee. The ven
cradle Judge was loudly applauded.
Hon. s. r. Wilson, Major M. s.
Elkin, Hon. j. A. Trousdale, Mr..
j. W. Blackmore and Mr.. w. @.
DismukeS, members of the Gala
tin bar, paid thrir respects to General
William B. Bate. All Of them toed
the line laid down by the Democracy
of Tennessee. They know no low tax
nor high tax party, but one grand old
reunited Democratic party with as true
and noble standard bearer as Ten
nessee has ever been blest with. 1t is
significant fact that not railroad
lawyer was present. though several
were absent. Your correspondent
cannot call to mind single absent one
who is not railroad lawyer. This is
the little stream, whose fountain is at
Clarksville; but it is only little brook
after all, and by November next this
great river Of Democracy will swallow
it. 1t will then be but drop to an
ocean. Sumner county is almost solid
for General Bate. Remember, she
never forsakes her own sons.

0fall quarrels, domestic qusrrels

discussion Of principles evolves light
and knowledge, and where the dispu-
tants are animated by mutual respect
aud esteem, and desire to arrive at
the truth, good sense and good feeling
are likely, in the end, to carry the day.

one fur will fly both thick and fast, thai

which menaces tbs Democracy 0
Tennessee.
As to the Tennessee debt, SO called

State or an individual owes money
there is but one way to discharge tn
