OBION BOOMING.
Arab Bailey and Bully lin Tur-
nsr Compelled TO Address an
Enthusiastic Bate Crowd,
Which Repudiaies the Ex-Sena-
tor by Planning the Flag
OfDemOcracy in His Face.

UNION CRY, September 2.-The
grand Bailey-Fussell performance
came off here to day, and mall candor,
was the most complete fasco Of the
canvass.
The whole country has been flooded
with handbills for a month or more,
and louder blowing than ever was
known, INDUCED in.
Ex-senator Bailey and Colonel
Turner were the orators and addressed
an audience of about $50 people, esti.
mated by citizens here to be composed
of fifty Russell men, one hundred Bate
men, fifty Greenbackers and fifty
Republicans. Their speeches were
about the same as they have been
delivering in other parts OF the State
and created no enthusiasm. A special
train of four coaches came all the way
from Nashville to bring the anxious
multitude, but when it came in there
we're, by actual count, twenty-one pas
sengers, including five negroes, four
small children and six delegates 70 the
Baptist Association, now sitting here.
Just as Mr.. Bailey closed his speech a
magnificent Democratic flag was raised
on a pole l25 feet high, amid the
greatest enthusiasm and cheering Of
the gallant Democracy of Obion
county assisted by the Union City
brass band aud when the boilers
came out of the courthouse it was to
look upon the beautiful flag of De-
mocracy, as it gracefully foated the
name of our noble candidate, w. B.
Bate. Indeed has it been a glorious
day for the Democracy. | came here
from Trenton this morning, expect.
ing to see a general uprising of the
boilers, but | say candidly that | do
not believe there are fifty here to-
day, and they came from all wei the
country and have made this place the
chief bolter's ground. 1t is my opin-
ion hat Bate will not lose one
hundred and fifty Democratic votes
in this county, aud it is set down as
the strongest bOlter county in the
State.

to work in good faith, whether in field

vors the brave. Napoleon said: God
favors the strong bsttalions" and the
philosophy of common sense is that
the man, the community or the State
that deserves success will seldom fail.
In Memphis we have gone to work
with a zeal and determination begotten
Of necessity and misfortune. The
place is coming to the front. The
evidences Of solid prosperity are to be
seen on every hand. We see a busy,
happy population, a smiling city, as
some n has said, sitting like a Queen
on the bluffs, bathing her feet in the
great river that flows by.

YOUNG INDIAN MAIDENS,

Among the Northwestern tribes of
Indians innocence is as marked among
the girls as their coler. The impress
sion that the red maiden does not
entertain a high standard of morality,
is an error, for she is taught as other
girls are, and grows up with well
developed ideas Of the responsibilities
Of life, and a firm resolution to dis
charge them. Educated in the faith
that she was ordained to work, she
trains herself to hard labor, and at
sixteen years of age is sturdy and
strong, brave against fatigue, and a
perfect housewife.
She may not possess New England
notions Of cleanliness, but she takes
not a little pride in her personal
appearance, ard in the arrangement OF
her lodge she displays some crude
ideas of taste and q certain amount Of
neatness. II she marTieT a white man
she makes him a good wife as long as
she lives with him. His home is her
sole comfort and his comfort her sole
ambition. She thinks Of him and for
him, and makes it her study to please
him and make him respect and love
her. She recognizes in him one Of a
superior race, and by her dignity and
devotion endears herself to him and
struggles to make him happy. At the
agencies OF the pesE&rontier thous-
ands OF men are employed, and it is
not an exaggeratiOn to say that the
majority Of them have Indian wives
and live happily. They are not sought
after by the maidens, for the Indian
girls custom is to remain quiet until
after tho marriage contract is made
and the marriage portion paid over.

If the girl Is especially pretty, her

During the midsummer of 1858,
when the malarial fever Of our low
lands was quite general along our great
riyer's front, the pioneer OF Crittenden
county, Arkansaw, George Fogleman,
at his home on BrandyWine Island,
was stricken down with this fever, and
his physician had dispaired Of his re-
covery. The old woodman, whose ak
had felled the forest trees for cord
wood in the noted Devils Elbow, and

river-said he would die if he could
not get a lump Of ice. At this critical

backs and low-tax and all is harmon
ious, though not "as merry as a mar
riage bell" Beasley would appear to
labor under some difficulties from the
scarcity Of Greenback papers to sound
his praises. But this want is supplied
by Hawkins Russell papers who evil
IDENTIFY consider him a coadjutor in
the anti Bate crusade.
That General Bate is the favorite
of the thinking and reading public is
evident from the fact that there are
about double as many newspapers sup
porting him rs support all three OF his
competitors. This fact is significant
and worthy of the serious considera-
ton OF every Tennesseean who feels a
pride in his State and an interest in
her future glory and prosperity.
The safety of our institutions de-
ponds mainly upon the intelligence of
our citizens. This is an old maxim
and has commanded general assent.
Free schools are encouraged and taxa
ton restored to give them efficiency
with a view to increasing the aggre-
gate intelligence of the voting popula
ton. After the general emancipation
Of the blacks. white men saw the dan.
ger to our institutions from such a
mass of ignorant voters. White men
have voted to tax themselves to edu
cate the negro that he might learn to
vote intelligently, and not be herded
like cattle under the control of the
bosses.
Now, it 10 evident to any mar that
will give the subject a few moments
reflection, that a large majority Of the
votes cast Tor Hawkins will be com.
posed of the most ignorant class Of
our population. In short, ifhe should
be elected, it will clearly be the tri-
umph %ofignorance.
1t would certainly not operate to
the encouragement of the cause Of
education in u midst, and would
certainly not encourage the immigra
ton Of tho better classes of men for
it to appear that the discussions
among our people had handed the
power over into the hands of abject
ignorance.
Men whose thoughts are all occu-
pied with the material development Of
our vast mineral and agricultural re-
sources would do we'll to give this
serious reflection. The election Of
Hawkins two years ago has done our
State very great injury. If with the
sad results OF that campaign before
us, We repeat the folly, a permanent
injury will be done our State.
Hawkins understands the strength
of his position, and its weakness. In
the opening speech Of his campaign at
Memphis, he appealed to the color
line, and invoked the prejudice Of the
African in behalf of himself and his
party. In East Tennessee he gives
this question the go by; because he
sees it would do him no good where
the voters are nearly all white,
He contents himself there with a sham
discussion with his e~oadlgtors, but he
will revive the color question, or his
satellites for him, wherever it will dc
him any good.

gence and the numbers to secure vic.

tiox frequently seen in the handwrit-
ing Of old men. Edwin Booth writes
a very business like hand, every letter
well defined, the name being written
continuously with a fancy knot of
lines underneath. Joe Emmett
shoves a queer, irregular fist, as if he
wrestled with a broken steel pen. The
name is finished with an irregular,
gagged sweep, a succession of zigzaE
lines across the face of it, in
the nature of a coat of.arms.
There is nothing distinguishing
about John i. Raymond's autograph.
1t is a careless, running hand, the is
all dotted and the is all crossed.
Clara Louisa Kellogg subseribes
herself with manly clearness. Every
letter is well formed, and the general
text shows vigor and thoroughness.
Brignoli's writing has much of the
foreign angularity of Bernhardt's; he
spells say with a capital S, aud
exhibits nervousness in the tremulous
stems tackled on to his letters. Emma
Abbott has a girlish elearness and
%irregularity about her letters. The
sentiment of the inscription is honest
little Emma" all over. She is full of
business even in her autograph. Fanny
Davenport writes with a rushing
crookeness that hasn't any tenderness
in it. 1t resembles the signature of a
cotton dealer who has heard Of a rise
in futures" and who isn't pleased
with the information. Oscar Wilde
has simply left his name with the
little ones, and, singular to relate, the
day, as Oscar was, is two two and add
eight two-February ~, 'S2. His
handwriting is clear and careless. The
s is II pothook leading out from the
crown Of the o, the r is a single
downward stroke, the capital w two
parallel lines with a wavy link
connecting them, and the els only a
blurred letter, from which a wild
diagonal line shoots away to the corner
OF the page.

framed to fit the little ones, Mary and

five degrees. which, according to
Lieutenant Greely's chart, would run
on higher parallels than those usually
assigned for the northern limits Of
the cotton belt" His September
isotherm of seventy degrees passes a
little north of Nashville and
crosses the ninety eighth meridian
very near its intersection with the
thirty-seventh parallel, whence it is
DETECTED s%outhwardly into Texas; his
isotherm Of sixty-fye degrees for the
same month passes g little north of
Indianapolis and Keokuk, and crosses
the ninety ninth meridian almost on
the fortieth parallel. The marked
northwesterly trend Of the late sum
mer and early autumn isotherms in
the lower Mississippi basin point to
the possibility of extending the areas
OF remunerative cotton and sugar
cultivation in that direction rather
than on the east side Of the great
river.
This remarkable trend of the lines
OF equal heat continues through the
spring also, and extends far up into
the upper Mississippi and Missouri
valleys, while IN the winter months
they are bent southwark between the
ninetieth and one hundred and seventh
meridians by the overflow of polar
cold from Manitoba, the lowest
isotherms in these months descending
from the Saskatchewan basin into
Dakota and Minnesota. 1t is a
further striking fact, deducible
from the charted data, that
the isotherm Of seventy FIVE
degrees (which is almost equivalent to
the summer heat" degree on our
thermometer scales) advances over
the interior of the country further
north by one degree, and further to
the northwest by three or four de-
grees, in July than it does in August.
1t will thus be seer that the lower
Mississippi valley is the grand gate
way of tropical heat--the warm air
due" of the conference.-the the cold
air mainly flows over US, not, as many
suppose, from the snow clad Rocky
range, but from inhospitable Manito-
ba.

An Advertising Nuisance.
New York Herald.

The official opinion given by the
Solicitor Of the Treasury Department
is likely to have the salutary effect Of
abating what has been a common
nuisance in the way of advertising cir
culars printed in imitation Of paper
money. Though not intended to serve
the purpose Of counterfeit bills more
than one Of those limitations have
doubtless been passed as money by
sharpers upon unsuspecting persons Of
careless habits. But, apart from this
consideration, the use Of close copies
of government notes for advertising
circulars is decidedly Objectionable,
and the Solicitor of the
Treasury Department holds that
there is a legal remedy for the pre-
vention of the practice. The Revised
Statutes of the United States prohibit
the circulation or use of any business
card, advertisement or circular in
the likeness or similitude" of any
United States note, and prescribe a
penalty of 500 against the offender.
The Solicitor decides that the prohib-
tied limitations may not be seized as
%counterfeits, but that suit for the re-
Govern Of the penalty may be brought
against whoever violates the law.
Advertisers who seek to catch the
popular eye by ingenious devices Of
this kind yill do we'll to take note Of
this decision.
