astically adopted:
THE PLATFORM.
We, the Democratic party of Tennessee
in convention assembled, do declare
First-That we are unalterably opposed to
the repudiation of any of our State or
national obligations, and are in favor of
maintaining inviolate the public faith.
Second-That We recognize the recent set
tlement of the State debt made by the pres
ent Legislature as in accord with the plat
form of the Democratic party of 1880, both
State and national, and as just and honora-
bic both to the people and the creditors of
the State, and declare that it should not be
disturbed or read djusted.
1RId.-That we are opposed 10 all class
legislation and partial laws, and to all
laws the tendency OF which is TO impair the
obligation of contracts.
Fourth-We are in favor of a liberal sys-
tenn of public schools, so that every child in
Tennessee may have a good common school
education, and recognizing the good effects
of what is known as the four-mile law, by
which the membership of schools has been
increased and crime and vice diminished, we
are opposed to its repeal.
Fyth.-We favor policy that will COM
pei railroad corporations as we'll as other
corporations and individuals in the State of
Tennessee to bear their equal part of the
burden of taxation.
iSirth.-We favor the establishment of
railroad commission to regulate freights and
tariffs, so as to prevent unequal discrimina-
tion, with such powers as shall protect the
rights OF both the people and the railroads.
Seuenh.-We are opposed to constitu-
tional convention at this time, believing that
the necessities for such convention do not
justify the danger of opening the organic law
to amendment in these times of unsettled
political opinions.
Eighh.-We arraign the Republican party
for lis reckless extravaganza with the pubic
funds, the issuance of subsidies 10 the favored
few; the disregard of the organic and funda-
mental law of the land as set forth in the
constitution, and for its growing and increas-
ing advance TO Capitalization, for its system
of protection to the strong corporations,
thereby imposing additional burdens upon
the laborer, producer and mechanic.

Dynamite DcaioiitiOn.

TAERyTowS, Mass, March 3l.-The
Andre monument was partially destroyed by
dynamite at midnight last night. Since The
attemp, to destroy the monument on WASH
ington's birthday by George Hendricks, now
q refugee from legal pursuit, the monument
has been carefully guarded. IL Is mystery
how the perpetrators succeeded In lodging
their explosives. They had 70 act quickly.
The dynamite was placed on the ground be-
side the base and there exploded. The re-
port was heard great distance. All the
watchers promptly hastened TO the spot.
The base was found completely shattered,
and the shaft left standing lopsided on three
stones, and much damaged. The persons
who made The attempt had disappeared, and
no traces of them have yet been found.

What Coffee VIII Do,

According to DR.. Book, of Lepsic, coffee
and tea are the chief causes of the nervous
ness and peevshness of our time.
DIR. Segur takes the opposite ground and
enumerates the blessings which they can
produce.
1t is q mental and bodily stimulant, as
sistisg to convert the blood into nervous
tissue, and thus recruit the nervous and
thinking faculties.
1t lessons the waste of tissue and thus
lessons the amount Of food necessary to
support the system.
1t will often cut short and cure attacks OF
intermittent fever.
In typhus fever 1t increases the excretion OF
urea, and so far purifies the blood without
increasing metamorphosis of the tissues.
1t tends to lessen coma and low delirium.
1t is DR.. Segur's chief reliance In yellow
fever.
1t is useful in spasmodic asthma, whooping
cough and Mysteries. It is diuretic in
cardiac dropsy. In opium poisoning its eff.
cacy is generally acknowledged.
After heavy meal 1t relieves the sense of
oppression.
Il is disinfectant aud deodorizer.
Habitual coffee drinkers generally enjoy
good health, and usually live to good old
age.

Relaxation.

Swift relieved his tense and tragic moods
by harnessing his servants with eords-on
one occasion he insisted on harnessing his
learned and respectable friend, DIR. Sheridan
and driving them up and down the stairs
and through the rooms of his deapery. Peter
the Great sought to unbend himself by be-
ing wheeled over the fower-beds and neat
parterres of his hosts garden in wheel-bar-
row, as poor Sir William Temple found to
his cost. That accomplished diplomatist APP
pears to have felt his chagrin at the failure
of the Triple Alliance mere child's play to
his feelings at beholding the Russian mon
arch riding roughshod over the priceless tu-
lips of Moor Park. Glover, the once famous
author of "Leonidas and the Athenian," had
the same disagreeable weakness, though, not
being safe in the ssdivinity which doth hedge
a king" his plebeian back received, en- more
than enc occasion, severe cudgelings at
the hands of infuriated hoIticulturists. Car
dinal Mazarin is said to have been fond of
shutting himself up in s room and jumping
over the chairs, arranged in positions vary
ing according to the degrees Of difficulty in
clearing them. OF this weakness on the part
Of his Excellency an amusing anecdote Is
told. On one occasion, while engaged in
these athletics, he forgot to lock the door.
A Eoung courtier inadvertently entering the
room, surprised the great man in bis undig-
nifed pursuit. II was an embarrassing po-
sition, for Mazarin was, he knew, as naughty
as he was eccentric. But the young man
was equal to the crisis. Assuming the in
tensest interest in the proceeding, he ex-
claimed, with well-feigned earnestness, 81
will bet your Eminence two gold pieces I
can beat that jump" He had struck the
right chord, and In two minutes he was
measuring his leaping powers wIththe Prime
Minister, whom he took care not to beat.
He lost his two gold pieces, but he gained
before long a mitre. Samuel Clarke relieved
his theological pursuits In the same way and
on one occasion, seeing pedantic fellow APP
preaching, said to the pupil who was sharing
his amusement, 1Now we must stop, for a

POETRY
WEAVING THE WEB.
JULIA @. DoRR.

This morn will weave my web" she said
As She stood by her loom in the rosy light
And her young eyes, hopefully glad and
clear,
Followed afar the swallows fight,
"As soon as the days first tasks are done,
While yet I am fresh and strong" said
she,
II will hasten to weave the beautiful web
Whose pattern is known to none but me
II will weave Ii fine, will weave it fair,
And nh how the colors will glow" she
said;
80 fadeless and strong will weave my web
That perhaps IL will 1--we after am dead .
But the morning hours sped on apace,
The air grew sweet with the breath OF
June;
And young Love hid by the waiting loom,
Tangling the threads AS he hummed n
tune.
"Ah! life is so rich aud full, she cried,
"And morn is short, though the days are
long!
This noon / will weave my beautiful web,
will weave it carefully fine and strong
But the sun rode high in the cloudless sky
The burden and heat of the day she bore 4;
And hither and thither she came aud went,
While the loom stood still ~ it stood be-
fore.
"Ah life is too busy at noon," she said;
MY web must wait till the eyentide.
Till the common work of the day is done,
And my heart grows calm in the silence
wide"
So one by one, tire hours passed on,
Till the creeping shadows had longer
grown,
slept.
And the singing birds to their nests had
flown.
"And now / will weave my web" she said,
As she turned 10 her loom ere set of sun,
And laid her hands on the shining threads
TO set them in order, one by one.
But hand was tired and heart was weak;
II am not a. strong as | was" said she,
"And the pattern blurred, and the colors
Are not so bright or so fair to see!
81 must wait, think, till another morn;
must go to my rest with my work un-
done.
1t is growing too dark to weave" she cried,
As lower and lower sank the sun.
She dropped the shuttle-the loom stood
still;
The weaver slept in the twilight gray.
Dear heart will she weave her beautiful
web
In the golden light Of a longer day?
