SUPPOSED CAUSE IN SENATOR H1LL's
CASE.


Senator Hill had the peculiar habit
of holding q cigar almost constantly In
his mouth, and keeping the nicotine.
coated end against the left side Of his
tongue. This was no doubt the excl.
ting cause In the case. 1t Is we'll known
that the Senator inherited a predispo-
sition to cancer, having lost sister sew
eral years ago by the same disease.
Many instances are on record whers
the disease has been traced to a short
stemmed pipe. About three years ago
the Senator observed little tissure on
the right side of his tongue. Aside
from slight pain and occasional incon.
venience nothing was thought of it. AS
1t grew worse he consulted physic ian,
or d was told that IL would sooI heal.
Had Senator Hill removed the exciting
cause, by removing the ever.present ci-
gar, the chances are that it would have
healed kindly.
Soor an ulcer formed, and the dis
tructiOn of tissue and life began. The
disease grew daily worse. Finally,
after long and fatal delay. his friends
induced him to visit Professor s. D.
Gross. of Philadelphia, to hear that
great surgeon pronounce those omi-
nous words-"tOo latel"
At his death the cancer had extended
rack to the throat and had destroyed
the tonsil, palate and all the soft tissues
on the left side. The cancer had ex-
c1riated the tissues surrounding the
carotid artery until it was visible to the
eye. Unable 10 swallow ON account of
the destruction of the soft palate and
muscles of deglutition, the Senator's y
nourishment was for some time Djected
into the stomach by means of tube
pressed down the esophagus or gullet
The introduction of this tube caused 80
much pain that the Senator many
times refused the nourishment and de.
clared death preferable to the operation.
Beef tea and milk punch constituted
his diet. The immediate cause of death
was blood poisoning and exhaustion.

what Was Rused on an Acre OF Land.

IS A farmer living in Maine makes
a statement of what he had raised
last year on an acre of land--almost
enough, we should think, to support
a family. He planted One-third OF
his acre i'm corn, and he usually pro-
duced thirty bushels of good corn.
This quantity was sufficient for his
family use and for the fattening OF
two or three large hogs. From the
same ground on which the corn
stood he raised 200 or 300 pumpkins
and an ample supply Of heans,
From a bed OF six yards square he
usually obtained sixty bushels OF
onions these hesold for 81 bushel,
which amounts purchased his -four
for one year. Thus from one-third
of an acre and an onion he'd he OBJ
tained his hreadstufls and 800 or 300
pounds of pork. The remainder 0t
the ground was appropriated 10 all
kinds of vegetables for summer and
winter use. He also had a flower
garden, raspberries, currante, goose-
berries in great abundance, and al
so few choice apple, plum, pear,
peach and qulnce trees.

HEAVEN.


OH heaven is nearer than mortals think
When they look with trembling dread
At the misty future that stretches on
From the silent home of the dead.
IT'S no lone isle on the DoundleSs main,
No brilliant, but distant, shore,
Where the lovely oaes who are called away
Must go to return no more.
No heaven is near us the mighty veil
OF mortality blinds the eye,
That we cannot see the angels bands
ON the shores of eternity.
The eye that shuts in a dying hour
Will open the next in bliss
The welcome will sound in the heavenly
world
Ere the farewell is hushed in this,
We pass from the dasp of mourning friends
To the arms of the loved and lost,
And those smiling faces will greet US there
Which on earth we valued most.
Yet oft in the hours of holy thought,
To the thirsting soul is given
That power to pierce through the midst OF
sense,
To the bsauteous scenes of heaven.
Then very near seem the pearly gates,
And sWeetIy its harpings fall,
Till the soul is restless TO soar away,
And longs for the angels call.
know when the silver cord is looSed,
When the veil is rent away,
Not long and dark shall the passage be
To the realms of endless day.

THE most important fnieeTal
product OF Tennessee is iron. There
are four iron belts 1.-THE Eastern belt,
extending along the eastern bound
ary OF the State the Dyestone belt,
running northward from Chatta-
nooga on both sides OF the river
west Of this lies the Cumberland
tableland belt, and last is the west
ern iron belt, in the western part of
Middle Tennessee. 1t borders the
Tennessee river and occupies a belt
extending through the State from
north to south, about fifty. miles
wide. The Eastern belt contains
three classes of ore, viz: LimOnite,
hematite and magnetic. Mhgne-
tite Is the richest OF all iron ores,
yielding about ~ per cent of the
natal. IL is highly esteemed for
the manufacture OF steel. The Dye
stone belt yields variety Of hema-
cent. OF the metal. IL is called Dye
stone because il is used for dyeing
purposes. The iron of the Cumber-
land tableland belt has never been
used for manufacturing purposes
although the same kind Of ore Is
largely used I'm England. These
ores are known as clay iron, stone
and black band. The different
kinds of limonlte are found In the
Western iron belt. The richest de
posiis in this section are found in

and Cumberland rivers; ia the

Sheriff Cate and Deputy cowan Murdered near
PhIid1eLpb,a, Tenn.
KNOXVILLE, Sept. 14.-A terrible
tragedy was enacted, this after
noon, at Sweetwater. forty miles
west of Knoxville, in which two
men were killed. Sheriff w. S.
Cate and Deputy Sheriff John Con-
way, of Chattanooga, Hamilton

Sweetwater, three men entered the
car. One was a brother OF the pris-
oner Taylor, and entered the car
from the rear, while the other two
entered the car from the front. Tay-
lor's brother approached Deputy
Sheriff Conway from behind, placed
a pistol to the back of his heatinnd
blew Conway's brains out. He
then took the keys from Con-
ways pocket and unlocked the pris-
oner; Taylor and the latter secured
the deputy's pistol. AT this instant,
Sheriff Cate rushed at the men, fir
ing at them and the prisoner. AS
he fired, the prisoner Taylor shot
him through the bowels and the
other shot him through the. breast,

oner Taylor was slightly wounded

head. They made him put on more
steam and forced him to run twenty
miles to Lenas, through three towns
without stopping. At Lenas, the
four jumped. from the engine and
secured horses, which were waiting
for them, and all escaped. The
prisoner Carter and q negro came to
Knoxville without guard, and sur
