China. Their tour through India was I'M
dertaken for pleasure, but Mr.. Cook was
called upon to lecture soon after his ar
rival at Bombay, and during the next
eighty-four days be spoke publicly forty-two
times in Bombay, Calcutta, Bensres and
other large cities. He was surprised to find
how many of the natives, Brahmins and
Parsees alike, speak English. The same
lecture subjects that were popular in En-
land were popular in India. 1dolatry is
discarded by the natives, but they have ac-
cepted the skepicism of western Europe and
this country. and are familiar with the
writings of Herbert Spencer, Mill, Tyndall
and Huxley. The lecturer combated this tide
of unbelief and agnosticism, and strangely
enough, the Brahmins heard his denuncia-
ton of caste without demonstrations Of dis
approval. The English railways have done
much to break down the barriers OF caste in
India, and the high-born Brahmin who
travels by car is forced to sit side by side
with and touch the elbow, perhaps, OF one OF
low caste. The democracy of trade, conn
merce and traffic is helping the ministers,
missionaries and books to revolutionize that
proud and splendid country. The fourteen
distinct natIonalities in India do not har-
monte, yet each is individually happy and
prosperous under bene6cent English rule.

THE COUNTY ELECTIONS.

The news from every part OF the county is
most favorable. In some localities there is
sill some dissatisfaction, which, if not recon-
ciled before the day of election, win diminish
the majorities of two or three Of the Demo-
cratic nominees, but it is impossible to de-
feat either one of them. From now until
the day of election Democrats must see
TO it that solid vote be cast for the regular
ticket. Every Democrat in the county
should be made to understand the impor-
lance of this contest. The reelection of
Governor Harris to the Senate is involved in
The result. If Republicans should be elected
TO the county offices the entire Republican
ticket to the Legislature would be elected in
November, and our county would thereby
contribute ten votes TO defeat Senator Har-
ris. In intellectual stature and all the ele-
ments of craftsmanship the Hon. Isham G.
Harris holds high position in the estima a
ton OF the country. He has made an
euviable national reputation. His stern in
tegrity and honest candor has given him
great influence with the sdministra alton, and
his defeat would be a calamity to the people
of Tennessee. This can be averted by the
Democracy of his own county by electing
the Democratic county ticket one week from
tomorrow. Where the Republicans have
the power, they use their offices to perpetu-
ate their rule; and if by any division among
Democrats they should triumph in this
county on the Sd Of Aug ust, Moore will be re-
elected 10 Congress and Harris's reelection
will be endangered BY solid Republican dele
CATION in the Legislature from Shelby county.

selling Christ I'm England.

The sale of livings in the Church of En-.

of familiar objection to the union OF church
and state. At an auction mart an attempt
was made recently to dispose of ga highly
valuable advowson, or perpetual right OF

gross annual value Of the property is eI1OO
At the sale, the secretary of the Curatesi
Alliance and another clergyman. a
member of the national committee for
the abolition of purchase in the Church
of England, were present to protest against
the auction. One of the clergymen called on
the auctioneer to withdraw the advowsop
from sale, but the auctioneer said he regret
ted to see clergymen obstructing legal sale,
and added that if the clergyman we're not
quiet he would have to go out "as sure as he
was n living man." The clergyman pro-
tested that it was piblic auction. The
auctioneer declared that the clergymen did
not know the injury they were doing their
cause by these proceedings on their part.
The clergyman responded, at is an awful

"How many souls do you give for that

only effectual way TO protest was to take the
course they had adopted. The sale was not
completed at that time, but the iniquity of
the system of selling Hvings was practically
demonstrated by the scene.

| fort 10 secure the triumph Of the ticket whose
election insures the continuance OF Harris IN
the Senate and the election of Democrat to
Congress from this district. On our present
success depends the welfare Of our people for
years 10 come. The experience OF the past
shows what the tax payecs might expect with
a County Court composed OF Republican
magistrates and the county ruled by Repub-

every true citizen, white and black, to sup
port by word and act the regular nomina-

and earnest Democratic conventions ever
held in Shelby county. The man who op-
poses this ticket canonly do SO by disregard
ing the public veal, as involved in the
overthrow of Radical oppression and plum
der. Personal ambition, official greed, or
even misguided sentimentality can offer no
justification for antagonizing the nomina-
lions of the party. We must be united to

evil of "splits," which have operated to be-
tray US to the enemy, overtax our people,
cripple our commercial interests, depreciate
the value of real estate, check industrial
progress, and heap burdens upon our county
and people. No decent pretext exists for
any man who claims to be Democrat to

than that put in nomination by the regular
Democratic convention. Each is bound by
all rules-patriotic, political and morai-to
stand by it. Good sense, party discipline, and
the rights of the people demand this Of every

The boiling movement, which went up like

inflated gas-bas has been punctured, and its
.fabbiness is now the subject of ridicule. A
prominent citizen of Memphis has just re-
turned from Nashville, whose name is at the
disposal of the curious, and he informs us
that there has been great reaction in Mid
die Tennessee; that even the few Democrats
who sympathize with the boilers admit that
the contest is between Bate and Hawkins,
and that the people are hostile to the sixty
aud-three settlement, and that it is therefore
the duty of all Democrats to vote for the
regular party nominee. 1t LIS sale to predict

With wondering DER thy new born rosy bloom?
Hast thou fond happiness. or dost thou sigh

Was it the rapturous dawning of a love
That warmed thy tint to such radiant glow?
