EnIsON,s TRIunPH.

The probabilities are that gas-burners will
soon be consigned to the cabinet Of curiosi-
ties in which may be found such relics at
the old-fashioned candlestick and the hand
lamp. The electric light ia becoming more
popular every day. discriminating powers

Edison is rapidly perfecting his electric
light. For nearly two years he has been Ia
boring to substitute his light for gas, and his
success is only a question of lime. He has
discovered how to mellow down the dazzling
light of electricity 10 any brightness that
may be desired, and it is insisted that so
soon as the eyes get used to the strongest
light no injury results. Another test as to
the possibility of lighting up the streets Of
New York was made on Saturday, and the re-
suit was most satisfactory. In speaking of the
result New York correspondent says: "The
gas companies now begin to understand that
there is a turn in their tide of gas monopoly
1t looks like adopting the electric light in
earnest when one sees, as he may on certain
portions of Broadway or Fifth avenue, the
old gas lamp globes removed entire from the
corners, and black hoops bearing the street
directions in gold letters substituted. The
change was authorized by resolution of the
Board of Aldermen, approved January Is,

made in May. Within the last two or three
weeks large wagons have gone about collect

PUNCH AND JUDY.

Our telegraphic correspondent, IN giving
an account Of the discussion at Maryville
East Tennessee, very properly represents
Beasley and Russell as Hswkins's Punch
and Judy. Beasley and Russell are nothing
but automatons in the hands of Hawkins
They dance at his bidding. Many suppose
that the puppets are speaking, but it is only
the voice of Hawkins behind the scenes
Hawkins knows that Bate is the man he hsE
60 beat, hence he sets his Punch and Judy
upon him. The trio do not fear each other
but the three concur in attacking Bate, who
stands between three fires. By this sort Of
war it is admitted that Bate is the dangerous
man. In this opinion alone we concur with
Hawkins Punch and Judy. When Fussell
assails Bate the Republicans applaud him
con GmOre; when Hawkins abuses him the
boilers yell, and when Bsasley strikes him
a blow the boilers and the Republicans
applaud together. Russell thinks he is
working wonders for himself because Of
the applause he ELECTS when attacking Bate,
but he must know-he does know-that tbis
demonstration of approval comes from Re-
publicans. Beasley knows the same thing
but IS he has no party of his own TO cheer
him, it Is relief to receive the applause Of
even Republicans. The modern puppet-
show of Punch and Judy embodies do.
nestle tragedy followed by a supernatural
retribution, and the same fate will overtake
Hawkins in the exhibition of his Punch and

and He Will.
New York World.

Our old friend General Chalmers seems to
have made a miscalculation in Mississippi
He seems TO have acted on the belief that
there would be more Joy among the Repub-
Iicans of Mississippi over one alleged bull
dozer who repented than over niDetv-and-
nine consistent earpet-basgers who needed no
repentance. But the general has discovered
that the Republicans of his new district are
not SO quick in stays as himself, and cannot
follow him. Oppressed and down-trodden
as they say they are, they are distinctly of
opinion that there are enough of them to
hold all of the offices which Republican
administration at Washington has to dis
pense, or which Republican votes in Missis-
sippi can bestov. Even if they were short
of Republicans willing TO hold Office, General
Chalmers is about the last man, if not the
very last, whom they would spontaneously
choose to any public Office. Our Washing
ton correspondent informs US that a meeting
has been held at the house of ''the widow of
Judge Chisholm" to help the canvass of more
accurate representative Mississippi Repub-
licanism that General Chalmers can be said
to be, and this candidate seems certain of
enough votes to beat the general. Chalmers
NAV denounce the Bourbons and shake the
bloody-shirt with the better grace, but Carter
will "do it the more natural" 1t is possible,
Of course, that Chalmers is making vigor-
GUS canvass by exposing and denouncing his
unregenerate self and his former practices,
not with any notion of being elected but
simply for the purpose OF laying the founda-
ton Of "claim," the fate of which he has
already settled with Robson and Keller and
Calkin. But if so, he overlooked the fact,
which must now be growing clear to him,
that the committee and the House before
which his case Will come are not at all like
ly to be controlled by Robson and Keller
and Calkin. The impression prevails that in
abandoning all the political principles he
professed out of personal pique, and accept
ing a nomination which is likely to result in
his defeat, General Chalmers has cold him.

below his intrinsic value.

EyICrIOEN SCOTLAND.

Ex-senator Gordon, of Georgia, who Is on
a visit to the duke of Sutherland, in Scot
land, will have an opportunity OF seeing
how the process of eviction works which
commenced after the rebellion Of 1745, and
by which the State be 90 we'll represented as
a gallant soldier during the recent civil war
pro6ted IN population. London Truth says
there has recently been a serious out
break at Rogart, on the estates OF the
duke, in consequence Of an eviction. On
the first visit of the sheriff's officers they
were compelled to retire by the women OF the
place; but on reappearing last week with two
policemen from Thurso, they executed the
warrant of eviction, whereupon the evicted
tenant broke open the door and sgain took
possession Of the house. very bad feeling
exists in various paris of the Highlands,
where the people have long groaned under
the tyranny OF lairds or their factors, and
the infamous Sutherland clearances" have
given a bad name to the Immense domain
owned by the duke, which, however, the
present peer has done something to remove.

fthese troubles are ominous Of mischief to

WHERE Is HOME?

asked of my heart one summer day,
When the city's streets were crowded and gay:
80 heart of mine! is this thy home
In the noisy city with smoky dome,
With its streets that stretch for miles away
With Its masses of homes stately and gray,
With its river rolling so sullen and slow?"
And my heart said "No!''
''Tell me- my heart, is It where the breeze
Signs gently through the summer trees;
Where life and beauty are everywhere,
And music is borne on the balmy air
The song of the birds, the lay of the rills,
The bleat of the lambs on the verdant hills -
Is thy home where the little wild flowers grow?
But my heart said "No!'
''Is thy home in that land of snowy night,
Where the Northern lights flash and gimme
bright,
And the trees by the bands are interlaced,
Where over land and ocean pale
RACES Outlines the icy gale -
Is thy home in that cline of frost and snow?'
But my heart said MOP
us it, Q heartl 'mong the palmy groves
Where tropical plants ia their beauty smile,
Where rolls the tide of the swelling Nile,
Where gentle and aromatic gales
Breathe tnro' the fragrant woods and wales;
Is thy home where such spicy breezes blown"
Butmy heart said MOI
"Ah, heart, my hearti have guessed the truth
The maiden love hath grace and youth
10 me no other seems half so fair;
To me she is sweet beyond compare;
o heart of minel hast thou found thy rest
In the heart that beats in her virtuous breast?
o. say, is thy home meath that bosom OF snow?
Still my heart said MOP
Then, o my heartl it must surely be
In that land from sorrow and suffering fr ee,
Where earthly victors receive their palm
And Join in the saints victorious psalm;
Is it there, o heart! thou hast found thy home,
In the land where changes never come
The realm of eternal happineSs?"
And my heart said "Yesi"

TARIFF TOPICS
Discussed By the Commission at Chi
cago-P Protection Arguments By
the Lumber Inferests.
Protests Against the Renewal of the
Duty ON Quinfne-EnOrmous
Profits of DruggIsts.

CHICAGO, September THE tariff COM
missioners arrived and beg an their sessi on
at IL o'clock. J. A. White, president of the
Saginaw, (Mich) Board of Trade, spoke for
the lumber interest of the Northwest, and
read paper showing the magnitude of the
trade as an argument for the maintenance OF
the present moderate tariff on lumber of 1O@
Is per cent. Michigan in 1881 produced
4,000, 100000 feet of lumber. The total value
of forest products last year was $50, 900 900;
10000, 900 capital is invested in the business
$4,000 men are employed at average daily
wages aggregating 800, 800. Wisconsin
and Minnesota produced about the same
amount of lumber as Michigan, and these
three States furnished one.third of the total
OF the United States. The product of Cana
dian labor was 80 per cent. lower than ours
The tariff on lumber pays a revenue Of
100000 annually, and helps to keep ul
wages. He held that it was impossible to
preserve American forests. Ezra Rust, of the
Saginaw Board, made additional statements
in the same interest.
Statements were also made by Arthur Hill
and John Eastabrook, of the Saginaw Board
and we're principally illustrative of the i'm.
possibility OF protecting American forests
under the present land policy of the govern
ment-so different from the Csnadas, where
settlers are required, in order to guard
against fire, to remove from timber limits.
Mr.. McMahon requested these gentlemen
to prepare and submit simpli6cation oil
the duties on lumber.
In the afternoon Robert II. Cowdry, of Chi
cago, druggist, argued against the renewal
of the quiniue duty. He denied the manu-
facturers' claim that renewal of the duty
would not increase the price to the cousum
er. He read letters from druggists that at
ter the fall in the price of quinine they had
reduced the retail price twenty-five per cent
Answering Garland, he said: druggists

was 100 per cent, and if the wholesale prizes
was increased ten per cent, by the reimpo
sition of the tsx, the druggists profits would
still be about $50 per cent"
George Buck, Chicago, druggist, explain
ed that these answers applied only to guam
titles of less than ten grains. Druggists
sold quinine at fifty cents per drachm, oil
only about S. SO per ounce. 1t was untrue
that the consumer did not get the benefit Of
the reduction. The renewal of the duty
would not benefit over 10000 persons out Of
10000. He did not know that the abolitior
of the tax had been the cause of the reduc
ton of the price, but doubted not that it in.

European syndicate to control the price, but
it was any easy thing 10 do. Quinine, like
wheat, was largely specialized In.

Charles Dudley Warner holds Lincoln to
have been = great leader "because 10 his
common sense was added the gilt OF imagi-
nation" William H. Herndon says Lincoln
had no Imagination, "but was cold, calm, pre-
else and exact" Chief ustice Chase Is quoted
for the opinion that "Lipcoln's cunning
amounted to genius" Lincoln's neighbor,
Andrew Schuman, says that ne was without
cunning or selishness;" james E. Murdoch
describes him as "full of mirth;" Herndon
says that melancholy dripped from him
As he walked;p Hugh McCulloch Mr.. Lin
coins secretary of the treasury thinks that
Mr.. Lincoln, though however honest HIM
self, did not put 8 very high valuation on
the honesty of othersp Prof. Martin L.
Dodge deems Lincoln "as incorruptible as
Aristides, as ssgaciozs as William the ST.
lent, IS brave as Cromwell, and "a unseltsh
as Codrus, the Athenian," while his familiar
acquaintance, Joseph Gillespie. is pleased to
record the opinion that Lincoln himself "had
a realizing sense that he was generally set
down on BY city snobs As . country Jake"
And those divergent appreciations OF Mr..
Lincoln's character are paralleled by diver
gent views concerning his most remarkable
public act-the proclamation of emancips-
ton. Mr.. Andrew Boyd says that it was the
pen of Mr.. Lincoln which gave freedom TO
100000 of colored slaves, for that pen "was
law" while James S. Rollins writes that Mr..
Lincoln "often spoke to him about the eman-
cipatfon proclamation" and "had no great
faith in its efficacy" Il is plain that each
of these writers seeks In Mr.. Lincoln the re-
hex of his own opinions.

FROM AN interview with the Hon. John r.
Lynch, the successor of General Chalmers,
pr blished in the New Orleans Pcayasne, we
learn that Mr.. Lynch thought it very doubt
ful that Chalmers would be elected from the
Second district. (He doesn't like Chalmers
bit) He thought that such support as he
would receive from the Republicans would
be lukewarm or selfish; that there was a
suspicion of insincerity that hung around
him, and Republicans were distrustful of il; ;
that the frauds recently practiced upon him
were due to Chalmers's personal Influence
alone. "Chalmers," he said, "would be a

MADAME OVIEDO.
The Heroine OF The Famous Diamond
| wedding I'm January, 1859, Mar
H rIed Again.

New YORK, September 5.-Mme. Frances
Amelia Bartlett Oviedo, whose diamond
wedding with Don Esteban Santa Cruz OWE
do in 1859 caused social sensation, was
married this morning IN Trinity church to
Colonel Bodouvan Glumer, of the Mexican
army. The ceremony was very quiet. The
bride is a handsome blonde of fine presence.
Her diamond ornaments were very costly.
Large solitaires hung in her ears, and the
breastpin was a gold bar with diamond
pendants. Clusters of diamonds adorned
her bracelets and her necklace and chate-
laine were set off with brilliant diamonds,
pearls and turquoises. Colonel Won Glumer
is 6ne-looking German, thirty-nine years
old. William 81. Gebbard and Mrs. Marie
Bradley stood up with the pair, and the
bride was given away by the Mexican consul
general. There were no bridegrooms or
bridesma aids.
Among those who offered congratulations
were Governor Loomis, of Connecticut, Mrs.
Admiral North, F. s. Stedman, Mrs. G. F.
Hall, Senior DR.. Ramo and DIR. J. G. Adams.
Mrs. Won Glumer, who is forty-three wears
of age, has still a large landed property in
Cuba, left her by her first husband. Her
parents are dead, and she has no children.
There are many persons in New York TO
whom the memory of the former nuptials of
Nine. Bartlett Oviedo, twenty.three years
ago, with its lavish splendor, viii be recalled
to mind by the modest wedding to-day. Miss
Bartlett was very beautiful, aud rsigned at
eighteen years the indisputable belle Of New
York.
In January, 1859, when the social season
of New York was at its hight. Miss Bartlett
met Cuban gentleman, Don Estaban Santa
Cruz de Oviedo. He was ffty-fve years old,
swarthy as mulatto. He lived in princely
style at the ST. Nicholas Hotel. He gave
ball at his hotel, at which it was said he di-
rected the hair-dresser to arrange the hair of
every lady in the house at his expense. He
fell in love with Miss Bartlett. The course
of their love was smooth until the Cuban
was stricken down with fever and ague at
the St. Nicholas Hotel. Through wesrying
illness she faithfully nursed him back TO
health. After his convalescence the minds
of the afianced pair were absorbed in the
preparation for their wedding. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars were disbursed by the
Cuban with lavish prodigality. The trous-
sesu at A. T. Stewards was said to have cost
$4,000. As much more was expended at
Genine's and at Ball & Blacks. The we'd
ding dress cost $4,000, and was brought from
Paris.
Tiffany's Golfers were swelled to the extent
of $4,000. The climax was reached when
on October Is, 1859, Don Estaban was mar
ried to Miss Bartlett. The bride had pre-
viously adopted the Roman Catholic faith of
her husband, and the ceremony was per-
formed by Archbishop Hughes in st. Pat
rick's cathedral, Mott street.
The church was packed to the doors, and
the crowds overhowed into the streets. The
description of the brides parure of diamonds,
and of her pearls and emerslds, published
at the time, reads like story from the Ara

WILL RUSSELL WITHDRAW.

Every intelligent man in Tennessee knows
that the contest for governor is between Bate
and Hawkins. Bailey and Jackson have
jeopardized their political future on the re-
suit. Senatorial honors are involved in the
contest-but they will not hazard their repu-
tations for truth and sensible men, by ex-
pressing the belief that there is a remote pos
sibility for the election of RUSSELL. These
gentlemen have had ample opportunities for
sounding public opinion, and they know that
their candidate will not carry single county
in the State. 1t follows, then, that vote for
RUSSELL is a vote for Hawkins, and the only
end any Democrat can possibly hope to gain
by throwing a vote away on RUSSELL is to in
crease the possibility of the election of the
Tennessee blackmailer. Surely, no true
Democrat will knowingly and willfully vote
for such a creature as Hawkins. Yet, in
voting for RUSSELL he is doing this very thing.
No relations of personal friendship can just
ify any Democrat in contributing to the cleo
ton of malignant prosecutor Of
ragged Confederates, merely for the pur-
pose of complimenting Joseph H. Russell.
A vote given to him will avail him nothing,
except to injure General Bate, and thus pro-
mote the scheme which the Republicans con-
coeted for the purpose of re-electiDg Hawk
ms. While no sensible man, who has any
regard for candor and his reputation for
truth and intelligence, dares to assert that
the election OF RUSSELL is either probable or
possible, General Bate is making a grand
triupPhal march through the State inspiring
his friends with enthusiasm and implicit
confidence in his election. Two years sge
thousands of Democrats would have voted
for Wilson TO defeat Hawkins, and thous ands
would flock to the standard of Fussell were
it demonstrated that he had the strength
TO beat man so obnoxious to the people of
Tennessee as Hawkins, who is using RUSSELL to
advance his election. Now that It is con-
coded by all, and is ss glariDg as the noon
day sun, that the contest is between Bate and
Hawkins, Mr.. RUSSELL should withdraw from
the contest. He must see and feel and know
that his candidacy means danger 10 the DEM
ccratic party st time haught with peril,
and, putting himself aside, he has it
IN his power to pursue course which will
win himself the respect and gain the thanks
of loyal Democrats, not only in Tennessee,
but throughout the whole country. With
RUSSELL out OF the contest as candidate, as
he is already in strength and popular sup
port, the Democracy of Tennessee, united
and harmonious, will move forward to a GER
tain victory and proclaim to the country that
some other State than that composed Of true
Southern men must be the first to break
away from her sisters in misfortune and re-
store to power the men who never fired a
gun to preserve the Union, but manifested
