Republican Appreciation Of
senator JacksOn's LabOrs.
Special to the Nashville World.


DYERsBuRG, September 6.-This
has been a great day with the Democ-
racy of Dyer county. En- route from
Rives, Senator Harris was called out
at Newbern and greeted with great
applause. He urged the people to
stand by the great Democratic party,
and predicted triumphant victory in
November. Arriving at Dyersburg, a
band of music welcomed us. An i'm
mense crowd attended the speaking.
Senator Harris delivered a magnificent
speech for party harmony. and sue
cesslully exhibited the glaring iucon-
sistency Of the lbolter leaders and their
boasted settlement, proving to the
satisfaction OF the people that its
tenth section amounts to forcing
the creditors to accept sixty and six or
get no interest on their uniunded
bonds. Since 1878 he has urged har-
mony and Cancellation in the party,
aud the men who are to-day dividing
it stood with him then in that effort.
He depicted Jackson's inconsistent
record and his present prating about
State honor, to have been a hollow
mockery in June last. This had a
telling effect on the audience. In
strong terms SenatorH Harris denounced
the coalition the boilers are forming
with the Republicans in various legis-
lative districts.
Bolterism received a strong repulse
to. day, and is weakening everywhere
Senator Harris has spoken.
Senator jackson made his usual
argument on the State debt. He
stated he could name many Democrats
who would vote for Hawkins to sustain
the settlement, and declared he would
vote forFusscll even though byso doing
he would elect Hawkins. This an
nouncement weakened his cause and
showed the true animus of the boilers

The correspondents Of the English

"a thorough practical knowledge of
military affairs, and he has the power
Of appealing to the hearts Of his
countrymen with a never failing re-
Spouse. Shortly before the departure
OF the Europeans from Cairo, an
American lady was invited to visit the
harem of Arab. She described the
room in which the interview was held
as a long, bare room, with a divan at
the end. The only ornament was a
small imperial photograph of Arab
set up in a superb jewelled frame. The
only lady who received the visitors was
the venerable mother of the Egyptian
OontIdl. Duc cpOA6 nOtuiug Dut
Arabic. She was dressed in the blue
dress Of the peasants, the material
however, being Of a better quality
than those generally worn. She was
disfgured by the ~tattOoing OF the fore
head common among the lower classes.
She received the visitors with great
courtesy. She first pointed to the
photograph with great pride, saying
that it was her most valued possession,
Then, drawing herself up with par,
donable pride, she exclaimed: "Tel
these English ladies that, although ]
am nothing but a poor peasant woman
If it had not been for me Egypt would
never have had Arab Bey." What
ever may be the defects Of Arab il
education, those defects do not extend
to his advisers and associates. All o.
them talk French, all Of them dresi
we'll, all of them are accustomed to a
good society as can be found in New
York. Several Of them have Travelled
extensively in Europe.

North Carolina sum

Charlotte Observer.


The summer boarders at the Hotel
Brunswick, at Smithville, we're treat
ed to quite an exciting scene last
Saturday evening, the same being a
eowhiding and eye gouging affair.
Captaid Gabrielson, of the United
States revenue cutter, was the man
who received the cowhiding, and Mr..
Thompson, an old river pilot, was the
man who laid it on. 1t appears that
a young Norwegian, who is a partner
Of the shipping firm of Mebane 4
Bros, Of Wilmington, had been pay,
ing a great deal of attention to two OF
Mr.. ThompsOn's daughters.
One report has it that the ladies
boarding at the Hotel Brunswick held
a meeting and appointed Captain
Gahrielson to inform the young Nor.
wegian that he must either quit asso
eating with those two girls or retire
from the society of the ladies at the
hotel. Another report is that Captain
Gabrielsen went to the young man
unauthorized By anybody and spoke to
him in disparaging terms of the two
Misses Thompson, representing that
they were not of the very best charae-
ter, and telling him that he must quit
assoeiating with them.
Whether Captain Gabrielson acted
upon the suggestion Of the ladies, or
took it upon himself to post" the
young Norwegian, the father of the
two girls heard what had been said,
and on Saturday evening he went to
the hotel in search Of GabrielsOn. Mr..
Thompson carried a cowhide, and on
meeting with Gabrielson let into hin
most vigorously with it. After using
the cowhide awhile, Mr.. Thompson
got Gabrielson down and gouged one
Of his eyes out. The affair, of course
created "a great deal Of excitement
and furnished material for any amount
Of gossip.

We can still see the rudy sparkle Of
its retreating light. b,
The temperance Of Saturn and
Jupiter among the evening stars OF
September will be a forcible reminder
OF the approach Of fall, and will recall
pleasantly the clear, frosty nights OF
last winter, when they shOne so brill
iantly in the West. Since then they
have both approached the sun, have
passed their conjunction, and now, on
their temperance, we shall find them
in the East, ready to replace there
the glory Of the departing Venus.
Saturn rises on the FIRST Of the month
at 9:45 o'clock, while Jupiter follows
at 1885, on September 30 Saturn will
appear a few minutes before s, while
Jupiter will rise nearly two hours
later, Both lie at presentquite far north
of the equator. Jupiter will continue
this slow northward motion for some
time to come, while Saturn will move
slowly toward the south.
The September moon is new On the
morning Of the 18th, and fulls soon
after midnight on the 9th. Accord
ing to Mother Goose and popular
prOverb, and perhaps we may add also
public opinion, fall begins to-day, but
the astronomical calendar is more
generous, and allows US still three
weeks of summer. The sun enters
the zOdiacal constellation at IL O'Clock
on the evening of the 22d. and hen, in
good earnest, we must allow that fall
has closed in upon US.

tar, Malta, Alexandria, Suez, Alden,
Bombay. A duplicate cable system
starts from Marseilles acrossto Algiers,
and thence to Malta and Alexandria.
A further system connects the whole
Of the Greek Islands with the Levant,
Constantinople, Cyprus and Odessa.
Another line starts from Madras, goes
to Rangoon in one directihn, and
thence to Pegnang, Malacca and Sing
apore. From Singapore one of the
main systems proceeds to Saigon,
Cochin China and Hong Kong, CON
Meeting the latter place with a system
in connection with Shanghai aud
Japan. There is also a cable from
Hong Kong to Manila. The second
main system proceeds from Singapore
to Australia, touching at Java on the
way, and connects Australia with New
Zealand. Another system proceeds
from Alden to the Cape Of Good Hope,
touching en- route at Zanzibar, Mo.
zambique, Delsgoa Bay, Durham aud
the Cape. Our system 10 the Brazils
connects that country with Europe.
These cables are submerged in depths
varying from a few fathoms to nearly
three miles. On n occasion a mes.
