TIN DISCOVERY IN ALABAMA.
A Valuable Discovery in Clay Count,

A Valuable Discovery In Clay County.
A correspondent of the Nashville
American gives the details of the dis
covery of valuable tin mine in Clay
County, Ala. He says:
Mr.. @. w. Gessner, of New York
city, about two years ago, attracted
by the fattering reports made by
parties who had tested the metals
and minerals of Clay County, pur-
chased real estate and mining rights
in the county to considerable extent,
and commenced series of tests and
assays on bis property. No one was
allowed to know the object of his
research, but quietly and diligently
he prosecuted his plans, spending
much money and labor in the under
taking until a few days ago.
Mr.. Gessner has reached that
point in his enterprise where the
veil can be lifted and the objects for
which he has spent so much time
and money can be made known.
And it may be matter of interest
as well as of surprise to the public
to know that tin has been found in
Clay County, Alabama. The discov-
cry is not a E,atter of speculation,
but practical reality, and the work
ing, the successful working, of tin
mine in Clay County, Alabama, will
soon be demonstrated to the world.

The Situation i'm France.

A wide spread feeling of dlstrust
exists at the present juncture
throughout France. One effect of
the Anarchist-Socialist movement
and dynamite scare was to create
grave doubt as to the power of the
Republican government to maintain
order. The meeting of the Chamber
always produces some 1isquiet, and
the prevailing want of confidence is
increased and complicated by the
recent alarming disclosures of Leon
Say, and by the reports of Grevy's
health. The impression is very
general that any sudden disturb,
ance at the present very unstable
political equilibrium would result in
political chaos, complicated by a f.
nancial crisis of the most perilous
kind. The number of credit com
panies which would collapse in the
event of political crisis is appalling
to contemplate, and the great public
works which form such a heavy
burden on the finances of France,
would come to a sudden standstill.
Very eminent fnanciers including
Leon Say, have urged the contrac-
ton of public works, and censured
their expansion; but the misfortune
is that a discontinuance would be
equivalent to gigantic lockout. ''
The press views the future with
alarm. Mr.. Leon Say establishes,
with his indisputable authority, that
the electioneering devices of our res
public have affected our finances and
credit. Although the recent illness
of the President was by all accounts
most trlfing, it is but natural that it
should have created no small sensa-
ton in political circles, and it is no
wonder that the question, "What
would happen if President Grevy
died?' is chiefly the topic of dis
cussion. Most people regard
that possible contingency with
dismay. No doubt the respect
with which he is regarded by all
classes of politicians causes him to
be looked upon as the sheet anchor
which prevents the ship of State
from drifting under. The opinion
is widely entertained that the gov
eminent ought to revise the consti-
tuition and provide for the election
of vice president to take CREWS
place in the event of his death. The
anarchists and socialists are singu-
larly active and daring in Paris.
There is strong feeling of insecure
ity largely developed, which would
be greatly intensified were serious
political crisis to occur.

The Cattle Trade.
Chattanooga Times.

A Times reporter had a converse
ton with a prominent butcher re-
garding the cattle business, He said
that cattle were very scarce at pres
ent and that the supply was barely
equal to the demand. There is an
upward tendency in prices for cattle,
which, if it continues, the price of
meat will advance considerably.
Meat is now worth from 10 to 125
cents per pound, and by the first of
January it will probably be worth
from IL to 16 cents. The cattle
which are slaughtered in this city
are from North Georgia and Sc
quachee Valley. They are in very
fine condition. A great deal of pork
is also being slaughtered at present.
The supply of hogs this season is
very heavy and in consequence the
price is much lower than last season.
Pork is worth from 8 to IL cents,
but an early decline is expected.

THE NEW INSURANCE PLAN.
Assistant Atterney-General Freeman
Fires Legal Opinion at the Mar
rage and Birth Associations.


Judge Freeman, assistant attor-
ney-geneaal for the Postofice De-
partment, has submitted to Post
masters General Howe report upc n
marriage insurance schemes. The
report says that there are a large
number of such schemes in the
country, especially in Tennessee.
Among these was the est. Elmo
Birthday Association" located at
Chattanooga. This company was
notified that it would have to show
why payment of money orders ad-
dressed to it and delivery of regis
tered letters should not be stopped.
Thereupon the company consolidated
with the ''Life and Nuptial Union"
of Knoxville. This latter associa
ton, upon being served with a
similar notice to that written to the
first named, has replied, through it's
officers, that the concern is compa-
ny regularly chartered under the
laws of Tennessee, sub section 2 of
section l, of an act of March Z, 1880.
This authorizes the chartering of
companies formed for benevolent or
charitable purposes. The report
shows that into the tennessee
(Knoxville) Life and Nuptial Union
there has also been merged the
Knoxville Endowment Association"
and the Knoxville Benefit Associa-
ton" The prospectuses and the
terms of insurance of these COM
panies do not, says the report, ''pos-
sess any of the elements of insurance.
The inducements held forth to in
duce people to invest in them are
such that no company could fulfill
and conduct legitimate business.
The whole scheme is of the dipping
character. Its purposes do
not fall within the scope of
statutory authority for creating corr
porations. It is neither beneficial
nor a charitable association. The
use of mails for the purpose of such
companies is an effort to obtain
money under false and fraudulent
pretenses, representations and prom
ises, and is within the statute against
it. =.
Judge Freeman recommends that
the company, the Tennessee Life and
Nuptial Union, into which it seems
all similar companies in Tennessee
have been merged, as stated above,
be prohibited the use of the money
order and registry system of the
United States mails. He also ads
vises that similar course should
be pursued with reference to other
associations of like character else
where, and co that end recommends
that the chief inspector of the post
Office department be requested to
report their names and localities for
action of the department.

P0stmaster-General and Marriage As
sOeiatiOns.

WASHINGTON, November 2S.-While
the Postmaster General has not yet
formally denied the privilege Of
using the mails to Southern matri-
monial and nuptial associations,
there is little doubt that he will ul-
timately do so. Assistant Attorney
General Freeman, in transmitting
Inspector Sharp's reports upon these
institutions, takes a decided stand
in this direction, but recommends
that further inspections be made be
fore acting in the matter This re-
commentator has been adopted by
the Postmaster>General. Judge
Freeman says that the only posi-
BILE excuse that can be given for the
existence of these companies is that
they are incorporated under State
charters.

WESTINGHOUSE WIFE.
Interesting Particulars Concerning
Her Ancestry Life.

r. A. Brock contributes to the
Richmond (Va.) Dispatch the follow
ing letter received in response to a
request from him through that paper
for definite information concerning
the family of Mrs. Martha, wife Of
Gen. George Washington:
WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Oct. rs, 1882.
Mr.. Brock-My Dear Sir: Martha
cambridge was born at her ancestral
homestead, "Eltham," in New Kent
County, Virginia, Sunday, May 9Th,
1882. Her maternal ancestor was
the Rev. Orlando Jones, native
of Wales, who was established on the
banks of the Potomac, and is buried
in the grounds of the old Bruton
Parish Church, in this city, now the
oldest English Church in use in
America, as 1t dates from 1852. We
first heard in colonial annals of Miss
cambridge as dazzling belle at the
court of Governor Dinwiddie, at
Williamsburg, the seat of the gov
eminent, where she met Col. Daniel
Parke Curtis, of Arlington on the
eastern shore of Virginia, the son of
the Hon. John Curtis, and, as his
father had been before him, a mem
Der of the Kings council, and at the
deliberations of which he was in att
tendance. The meeting ripened
into love. The marriage WAS at
first opposed by the father of
the groom, but in l749 Col.
Custis bore his bride to his "The
White House" on the banks of the
Pamunkey, in New Kent County.
Three children blessed the happy
union, the first of whom, a son, dy,
ing in infancy, was soon followed by
the father, and Mrs. Gusts was left
a young, beautiful and wealthy
widow, the sole executrix of an
estate appraised at 100000. In
1853 Washington, attended by a
servant, crossed the Pamunkey on
military mission of importance at
Williamsburg. Stopping for mo
ment at the house of a friend, Mr..
Chamberlayne, in New Kent County,
he was pressed to semain. He at
first declined, but the graces of Mrs.
Custis, who was a guest at the
house, quoted the scruples of the
speeding warrior so effectually that
the stay was prolonged for two days
and night. He had met his do,
nestle fate, and Mrs. Curtis became
Mrs. Washington an the 9th of Jan
uary following, the ceremony being
performed by the Rev. David Mos
som. at st. Peters church, in New
Kent county, and near THE White
House Of the two surviving chill
dren of Mrs. Washington by her
first marriage, lovely daughter
(Martha) died in ITO in the seven-
teenth year of his age, and her
son, Col. John Custis, an aide
de camp on the staff of his
lllustrious step-father in our glorious
struggle for national independence,
died of malignant fever at Ethan,
On the 25th of October, 1871, while
camps from Williamsburg to York;

weary and bitter struggle. Col Gus

ALE FOR LOVE.
A Pretty Hebrew Maiden RenOunces
the Faith of Her Fathers to Wed
the Man She Loves.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 3O.-Mr. Will
Jordon and Miss Ida Fieashman, the
latter charming Jewess, were mar
ried last night at the residence of
the bridegroom's sister in Edgefeld,
Rev. r. M. Tinnon performing the
ceremony. There was something of
romance about this marriage, mas
much as the parents of the bride are
Hebrews, strong in the faith, and
objected to the union of their
daughter with a man outside of the
pale of their church. But the re-
suit in this instance is the same as it
ever is where love enters the list
against religion or anything else-it
triumphed, and the maiden left all
to cleave to ssthe man her heart had
chosen.
