FIRST APPEARANCE on TIE STAGE,


Now it was that NIr. and Mrs.
Labouchere extended helping hand
to the beauty, took her to their home,
and give whatever assistance she required
Mrs. Lanstry was often low-spirited over
her situation. On one of these occasions
Mr.. labouchere suggested that she 70 OH
The stAge, remarking at the time that her
beauty would guarantee her success till she
could cultivate her talent and travel upon
her merit us an artist. She thought we'll Of
the suggestion, and, after another talk
upon the subject, it WAS decided that, un.
der the supervision Of Mr.. and Mrs la.
bouchcre, private play would be given to
Introduce her and discover what aptitude
she had Tor the stage ior calling.
The play was success. The audience
was composed OF the best London society,
and none present showed more concern in
the debutante thau the Prince and Princess
OF Wales. The London papers next morn
ing, had plentiful praise ior the beauty
which was no doubt due largely to the fact
that Mr.. Labouchere is part owner Of one
ol the London dailics and has large influ.
ence with the others. Mrs. Langtry's sue.
cess seemed no longer doubtful. Mr.. and
Mrs. Bancroft, OF the 1laymarket Theatre,
were approached to make m engagement
for her, and readily consented to engage
her for II period Of six months. Her sue.
cess as n curiosity, at least, was such that
shc was engaged 10 make q tour OF the PROV
inces. In this, as in her other professional
Undertaking, she was eminently successful,
and at every provincial theatre SHE was
met by crowded and enthusiastic houses.
While upon this tour Mr.. Abbey arrived
in London and, learning Of the interest
taken i'll Mrs. Langtry by Mr.. and Mrs.
Labouchcrc, approached them with the
suggestion Of securing her for tour in this
country, He stated that he thought the
people Of America would like to Sec the
most beautiful woman in England, and
added that it would be the crowning event
in her professional career. No objection
could be raised by Mr.. Labouchere, so it
was decided to lay the matter before Mrs.
Langtry.

The Fight Narrowed Down to Randall and Carll.ls
Combinations Alleged 10 bs Forming In n.

40, senator Camden lupro'ing-Sotes.


From Our Special Correspondent.
WAslllSuroS, D. O., December lo.-"Talk
about beating Randall, do theyY' said a
level.hcaded gentleman in referring to the
contest Tor the Speakership to occur next
winter, "Well 1t Is my opinion that all the
combinations that can be made will not
defeat him. You see," continued the gen.
tleman, "that Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky,
has announced himself MS candidate, not
wi1hstandlng Mr.. Carlisle's candidacy. Now
Joe does not think for an instant that he
can be elected, and you can make up your
mind that Mr.. Blackburn's candidacy is in
tho interest Of Sam Randall. Blackburn
can divide the Kentucky delegation against
Carlisle, and when tho fight gets to be in.
teresting, and do not make any mistuke
tint It is not going to be bitter one, he
will throw his strength over 10 Randall.
Blackburn will not only havea respectable
following in the Kentucky delegation, but
he will also have strength in other Southern
delegations. Yes, it is my opinion that
tho Blackburn candidacy is in The interest
Of Sam Randall. Then agaiu, George L.
Converse, another Of Kandalls admirers,
is quietly working up the impression that
be is II candidate, and this, too, means
Randall; do not aee how they can elect
Carlisle" y.
The gentleman thus quoted IS regarded
in Washington as an average prophet in
political matters Of this character, and. It's.
ually knows what is going on. In calling
bis attention to the fact that most of the
Southern nlcmiers would :be, for Carlisle,
he said that the Southern members were
talking Carlisle because tho local press OF
the South were advocating his candidacy,
but that Randall had taken care Of 10
many Southern members, who have been
reelected. that when they came to vote by
ballot in the caucus, It would be shown
that their profession to be for Carlisle is
pretext.

ADULTERATED SEEDS.

Our attention has been called to
the following Chicago special to the
Cincinnati Enquirer
CA1cAGo, Ill, March S.-To-day
brought forth some interesting de-
velopments in the adulterated clover
seed scandal. r. W. Buchanan &
Co. are charged with having adul-
terated clover seed with Hungarian.
1t is said that the house has shipped
twenty-five to thirty five cars of the
mixture since last October, princi-
pally to the South. The points
named are Louisville, Cincinnati, st.
Louis, Nashville, Knoxville, st.
Joseph, Leavenworth and Kansas
City. Prices of clover seed have
ranged recently from $40 to SIS 25
per bushel, and Hungarian has been
quoted at IS cents. The mixture, it
Is said, was one fifth or 20 per cent.
Hungarian and four-ffths clover
seed. The bulk of this adulterated
seed was shipped last fall and in the
winter, when clover seed brought
the highest prices. The profits are
estimated at $500 to $3.50 per car, or
$4,000 to $4,000 in all The house is
said to have offered clover seed for
time past at discount of fifteen to
twenty cents per bushel from the
market price, and those who sent
orders for it supposed the firm had
big stock on hand and were anxious
to reduce it. The local trade say
they did not discover the alleged
wrong till samples of the seed were
received here from the South,
We have made enquiry and find
that but two Car loads of seeds have
been received in this city from Chi
cago, One of these was consigned
to Mr.. P. NJ. Williams, who upon ex-
animation found the seeds adulterat-
ed and declined to take them. They
were shipped to R. W. Buchanan g. Co.
from who they were received and not
pound of them were of
fered for sale. The other
car load was consigned TO Judge
Brown, who declined to receive them,
and they were shipped back. So,
none of these seeds have been sold
or offered for sale here
1t is source of qualification tc
know that our Knoxville merchants
who deal in seeds of various kinds
are exceedingly careful to handle
none except they are pure. Gu,
farmer friends may rely upon receiv
ing from these merchants just what
they represent. If they buy clover
seed, they will receive clover
seed, and not mixture of hunga-
rian.

AN HONEST DEMOCRAT.
A State credit Democrat writes

A State credit Democrat writes to
the Nashville American
From the writer's standpoint, he
regards the settlement of the State
debt by its payment in full, or on
such terms as the creditors them~
selves will propose, as of such vital
Importance to the State and her
people, that he would not hesitate a
second to unite with the Republican
party, and give it complete control.
The writer has no love for that party,
but he has less for the reputation
element of the Democratic party,
and he believes the Republican party
Is sincere in its effort to settle and
pay the debt, while he has no faith
IN the honesty of any declarations
of what the American seeking so
strenuously to effect, viz; a united
and harmonized, Democracy.
The experience of the last ten
years is sufficient to shake the faith
OF the most ardent Democrat in the
professions of his party. The Dem.
ocratic party has been coqueting with
this question for nearly ten years,
and has failed to accomplish practi,
cal results. The consequence of its
policy has been practical reputation;
and to>day, few, if any of it's leaders
can be heard to speak out in advoca-
cy OF an honest policy. They seem
to be afraid to declare themselves,
and are willing to allow demagocues
to lead public sentiment.
With such leaders, private in the
ranks can but doubt the honesty and
sincerity of that party.
The policy for State>credit Demos
Gratis to pursue is to refuse to rec
ognize the repudiationists as Demo
Gratis, and go into the next canvass
with their candidates declaring their
unalterable determination to settle
the debt at dollar for dollar, or upon
such terms as the creditors will vol
unfairly offer. If tits course elect
the Republicans, well and good; we
will rejoice that the repudiationists
have at least been defeated, and be
satisfied that of two evils we have
chosed the least.
The American says the writer is
gentleman of character, "whs has
heretofore acted with the Democratic
