Memphis congratulates Knoxville
and East Tennessee upon the the
handsome and encouraging trade
exhibit made by tho Chronicle. All
round about that beautiful city there
lies mines of immense wealth. Iron,
copper, coal and marble are there
in abundance that cannot be match
ed by any other State in the Union,
ores of special value and unsurpass-
cd richness. Every patriotic Ten
nesseean will be glad to learn that
this mineral wealth no longer lie
untoched. Mines have and are be-
ing opened in every direction, and
railroads are being built, and the
farmers are devoting all their ener-
gies to grain, grasses and cattle,
small fruits and early vegetables
finding a ready market for all their
products in Cincinnati, now within
from eight to twelve hours of them.
Elsewhere a correspondent sets forth
some of the sources and conditions
of the wealth of that portion of our
State, which, though only Ond- third
of its aera has been touched by p.ow
or harrow, by pick or spade, is yet
ranked among the richest in the
Union.-Appedl.

CURLS AND PLATTS.

A few days ago press dispatches
announced that Bishop Lafieche, of
Three Rivers, Montreal, had forbid
den the ladies ofhis congregation to
wear curls under the penalty Of
committing sin. The announcement
furnished the basis for a vast amount
of witty Journalistic" comment, and
proved a veritable godsend to the
numerous scribes of the press who
had exhausted all the ordinary stock
of summer fun. All these
scintillations appear to have been
somewhat premature, however, as
it now appears that Bishop Lafieche
has not entered the lists against
curls at all, and has issued no such
prohibition as that mentioned. The
Catholic Mirror, of Baltimore, has
taken the pains to write to the Bish-
op on the subject, and has received
reply denying the statement made
in the dispatches. The Bishop says
he simply published the DEGREES of
the Sixth Provincial Council ofQuc-
bee, among them the seventeenth,
which treats of the education of
young girls, and cites the admoni-
ton of. the Apostle that woman
should array themselves in adecent
adorning themselves with
modesty and sobriety; not with
plated hair, or gold or pearls, or
costly attire, but as beeometh women
protesting godliness, with good
works. 1t will thus be seen that
there is no reference to curls even
in the decree cited, and although
st. Paul does make a suggestion
with regard to plaits, the Associa-
ted Press would seem to be some / :
900 years behind the times in tele-
graphing this as piece of news,
and rather confused in its theologic-
al knowledge in assembling the au-
thorship to Bishop Ladeehe.

Ford Castle, in Northumberland,
England, around which was foU ght
the famous fight of Flodden Field,
Is advertised to be let, at which anti
quarians are grievously shocked.
This castle is of great antiquity,
though nothing certain is known of
il until 1887, when it is matter of
history that extensive repairs were
made. Toward the end Of the four
teenth century it was partially dis
mantled in border fray. In 1913
it was captured by James IV. of
Scotland. This Is the date of the
true romance of Ford Castle. King
James found that Lady Heron, wife
of tho professor of the castle, had
remained behind to guard 1T against
the enemy while her husband was a
prisoner over the border. The King
became infatuated with Lady Heron
ere he had long possessed the place,
and for her sake, it is said, refrained
from destroying it. 1t was this dal-
lying, say the historians, that cost
King James his awful fate on Flod-
den Field. Lady Heron, it appear
ed afterward, was in constant com
munication with the English Gen
eral, Lord Surrey, who took advan-
tage of the delay and rushed on to
Flcdden. The room occupied by
the King is still preserved in the
old portion of the edifice.

CERTAINLYHE WOULD.

The other evening, as a muscular
citizen was passing a house on
Montcalm street, a lady who stood at
the gate called out to him:
"Sirl l appeal to you for protec-
tionw
"What's the trouble p he asked,
as he stopped short.
"There's a man in the house, and
he would't go outdoors when l
ordered him to-"
"He wouldn't, eh! Well see
about that t!''
Thereupon the man gave the
woman his coat to hold and sailed
into the house splitting on his hands.
He found a man down at the supper
table, and he took him by the neck
and remarked:
"Nice style of brute you are,
Ell! Come out O. this, or I'll break
everk bone in your body y
The man fought back, and it was
not until chair had been broken,
and the table upset that he was
hauled outdoors by the legs, and
given a fling through the gate.
Then, as the muscular citizen placed
his boot where it would do the most
hurt, he remarked: "Now, then,
you brass-faced old tramp, you move
on or I'll finish you"
"Tramp! tramp!" shonted the
victim, as he got up, "I'm no tramp |!
| own this property and live in this
house u
"You do?"
"Yes, and that's my wife holding
your coat -
Thunder ~ whispered the victim,
as he gazed from one to the other,
and realized that the wife had got
square through him and then he
made grab for coat and sailed into
the darkness with his shirt bosom
torn open, a finger badly bitten, and
two front teeth ready to drop out.

UNITED IN DEATH.
A Young Man Takes Poison and
Dies on His Sweethear
Grave.

HELENA, ARK, August 30.-The
saddest suicide this country ever eX-
perienced has occurred seventeen
miles from Helena. But few weeks
since a bright and handsome young
lady Of Clarksville, Miss Mary
Barnes, a relative of the family of
General James l.. Alcorn, of Coaho-
ma county, visited Helena to attend
a party in company with the daugh-
ter of General Alcorn, and was gen.
orally admired. She had recently
graduated with honor at the Uni
versity of Jackson, Tenn, and was
beloved by both tutors and scholars.
Her accomplishments were many,
and it was not strange she should
be a favOrite wherever she appeared.
A relative of Colonel John Clarke,
shc lived there, and there was no
one among her large circle Of friends
and acquaintances who had aught
but kind wishes for her. Saturday,
the 10Th instant, this charming lady
died, and there was a general feeling
of gloom in the entire neighborhood;
but death like this is not as un-
common as the sequel, which was
most extraordinary in its startling
and sad character. Thomas Page
was a young gentleman of the
locality, and had been engaged to be
to Miss Barnes for several
years, but for some reasons several
postponements took pace. These
reasons did not affect the standing
or character of the lover, who was
known as a deserving man and
gentleman in every particular, and
it is said they would have been uni
ted in the coming winter. Perhaps
some of the relatives of the lady did
not fancy the gentleman as well as
they might. At all events, this was
probably the cause of the estrange-
ment. The lady was buried on the
following her death, and,
though Mr.. Page showed unmis-
evidence of grief, it was not
thought that he was so utterly in
sensible as to be lost to all reason
able understanding; but it was so.
Procuring a bottle of morphine on
night last and board, he
betook himself to the side of the
grave of his beloved, and lying down
at full length, he swallowed the
terrible drug, and awoke no more.
His body was found next day, cold
and icy, and past all hope of resus
and was inferred to-day.

MR. WHERE rs HEP

| Mr.. RUSSELL is an enigma-in plair
English, a puzzle. The people are
at a loss to understand him; and al
faithful journalists we have tried tc
throw light on the subject. In this
respect, we have not felt proud oi
our success; for his movements are
beyond comprehension-if we are
to take our information from his
friends and organs.
The first we heard of him, was
on the evening of the 18th of July,
when members of the boiling con-
vention began to whisper conf
IDENTIFY around that they had sent
for man who would make his ap-
pearance soon, who would play
smash generally with all the can
didates in the field. We stood
around watching intently the ap-
pearance of the prodigy that was to
throw all common men in the shade
We listened intently to the Bolt
ing orators, as one by one they said
their say, and found that few of
them acquitted themselves in a man
ner worthy of their former fame.
Bailey, the Wrights and others, es-
sayed in vain to give forth. utter
ances worthy of the occasion. Eb.
James, alone, was able to get off
anything at all sensational. Even
he cut short his rem arks on the four
mile question.
At late hour Mr.. Fussell was
exhibited to the audience. The
crowd stretched their nccks awry,
like turkeys when they discover
novelty in the grass. to take a peep
at the new asp rant for public
honors. The candidate spoke, but
his uttera~ ces fell stillborn upon
listless ears.
After the nomination the new
candidate remained quiet for time:
while his friends and organs rept up
the excitement by comparing their
candidate to all the great and good
in history-even to the son of the
ever blessed Holy Virgin. His
talents were exemplified in lofty
tropes; while his piety was eulo-
gized in sanctimonious phrases.
He was next heard from in the
West, reading from soiled manu-
script in most bungling style. Next
he appeared on the Virginia line,
breathing shell and hemp" to his
enemies in a style that astonished
the oldest inhabitants of those Sc
questered wales.
But now we have lost sight of the
young man again. 1t is true our
correspondents still report him re-
spending to Hawkins before small
crowds from day to day; but his
organs here, which last week pub
lished his first appearance four hours
before his arrival, and issued re-
port of his speech which our friends
in East Tennessee say he never de-
livereC, ese O 9ans now silent as
to his whereabouts and as to what
he is doing.
After the discussion at Erin be-
tween Senators Harris and Jackson,
Mr.. Rhodes, a prominent member of
the July Bolter Club, said that he
would take Mr.. Russell off the track
and make the fight on the Legisla-
tive ticket alone. Our cOrrespon-
dents in the East are very reliable
gentlemen; but from the silence of
our contemporaries it looks as if Mr..
Rhodes may have carried out his
purpose.

A MARVEL IN STONE.
Discovery of Another Wonderful
Relic of the Mound Builders.
Frem the St. Louis GlObe-Democrat.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
A remarkable Indian idol was re.
Gently taken from Horse Creek, in
Cedar coI lty, Missouri, the home OF
the last mound builders. Among
those who were present was r. A.
Blair, the owner and discoverer of
the finest lot of mastodon bones now
in the United States, one who has
devoted all his leisure to the style
of literature that would make his
opinion of value in this matter.
The subject is of such Importance
as to warrant giving the description
and circ- stances of the fl lding of
the object the widest publicity. This
Indian or Aztec idol, as it is believed
to be, is four feet long and weighs
sixty-four pounds. In general out
line of figure it resembles a huge
lizard or chameleon. 1t is carved
out of slate or lead-colored stone
or composition of moderate hard
ness, is as smooth as glass and shows
that it is the work of a person of
fine imagination, intelligence and
skill, whether he lived one thousand
years ago or is living to-day.
On closer examination the idol
is found to be made up of parts of a
dozen creatures-amphibia, carni-
vora, insec S, reptiles and fowls.
The top Of the head has the sem
blance of a fiat bone plate, and is
shaped like that of an eagle, with
long sharp beak. Near the middle
of the beak is horn, like that of
rhinoceros, and of a light yellow
color. The under part of the head
is shaped like that Of turtle or
frog, and is of light yellow. The
eye is like that of an eagle.
1t has four legs, two in front and
two behind. These legs are shaped
exactly like those of an elephant,
have four yellow toes on each foot
and the botto : of the feet has the
spongy appearance peculiar to those
of an elephant. Between each pair
of legs on the abdomen is the repre-
sentatlon OF the plate of Zone, like
that on a turtle. On the back are
two shields or wing covers, like
those on the back of common bee
tie. Behind the legs and about the
middle of the tail is fin divided
into four fingers or flaps. From the
point where the wings terminate to
the end Of the tail extends a row of
diamond-shaped yellow spots. The
idol is in a perfect state of preserva-
ton, and at distance of few steps
looks as if it were alive.

A half loaf is better than no
bread is an old axiom that is true so
far as sustaining animal existence is
conserned, but in politics it is a
herasy, for a half Democrat is more
vile and dangerous than an out
spoken Republican. If there is any
thing in the world that chills our
arder and is wet blanket to our
hopes, it is to here a so-called Demo-
crat railing, faultfnding and throw
ing his quibs and quiddities on the
Democratic party. We look upon
RUSSELL and his cohorts as the most
dangerous enemies that the true
Democracy in the coming conflict
has to encounter, for they are steal
ing the livery of Heaven to serve
the devil. Go and view the tactics
they inaugurated in the old Do
minion when they Mahonized that
proud old commonwealth. Sir, the
different names it assumed in order
to catch votes. In 1879 it was
named the Democratic Conservative
Readjuster party-in 1880 the Re-
adjuster Democratic party-in 1881
the Liberal Coalition party-in 1882
it is called the Coalition Administra-
ton parry, and by 1884 it will step
full pledged into the Radical ranks
as a pure Republican party. So
Democrats be on your guard, and
hold no communication with a man
that call himself q Democrat and de-
nounces Bate and the true Demo
cracy. On a memorable and mo-
mentous occasiol Washington issued
the order-"put none but Ameri-
cans on guard to night''-Demo-
Gratis, put no man on guard unless
he is for Bate if you wish well for
your State and party. *.*
