OVER THE STATE.

Memphis Ledger: Nashville, in
Guiding Edgefeld, has a population
about 90 per cent. greater than
Memphis.
There were twenty-three deaths,
eight white and fifteen colored, in
Memphis last week-just the number
reported for the corresponding week
last year.
Sixteen completely petrifed human
bodies are said to nave been recently
discovered in Pine Mountain, Camp
bell county, in solid limestone rock
with fragments of petrified wood.
Near by is also cave, the walls of
which are decorated with painting of
extinct or imaginary animals. Tough
story.

b. F. Claxton, editor of the
American Vine and Grape Grower,
New York, in letter to the commits
sioner of agriculture, says: "The
state of Tennessee is one of the most
interesting states in the Union so
far as fruit growing is concerned. and
when its capabilities in that respect
are fully developed it will take front
rank"
Humboldt Argus: We deeply sym>
pathize with j. w. Howell, who
living at the old Wellington place,
two miles east of town, in the loss of
his house and its entire contents by
fire on the morning of the 18th inst.
No one was in the house when the
fire broke, out which was caused from
defective fue, except a little daugh-
ter of Mr.. Howell, who was sick in
bed. She narrowly escaped being
burned in the house.
A curious and ancient relic was
found in front of the Odd Fellows
Hall in Dresden. 1t was an old dirk
or hunting knife, ten inches in length,
quite rusty, and but little of the
wooden handle remained. A silver
band on the handle attracted atten-
ton, as it was shining brightly where
the dirt had been washed away from
it. On the blade in distinct letters is
the name sd. Crockett" 1t is said
to have belonged to the great bear
hunter, as that locality was his home
for some time, and it is authoritatively
stated that he killed bear not far
from where the knife was found.

Hoadly and the Dutch"

Toledo Blade,
When Durbin Wards forty years of unre-
warded service to the party were urged and
descanted upon, the argument was met and
refuted with:
"Hoadly'll catch the Dutch, and he's got a
bar'l."
When Humans lifelong devotion to the
Immortal principles of Jefferson''-his
championship of Democracy in season and
out of season. in the Senate and on the
stump-his Copperhead record and rebel pro-
clivities-his going down in the dirt in ODE
dience to the Greenback craze-when all
these were summed up with fervid e%loquence,
the listener calmly replied:
YES, | know. That's all true. But Hoad-
ly'n catch the Dutch, and he's got a bar'l."
And the Thurman boom was tenderly
wrapped up in the banner of the Lost Cause
and gently laid away TO rest, with a butter
nut tree planted at its head.
When the Geddes boom opened with
PRAYER by a grand worthy Templar-who
was also a Methodist class-leader-in full re-
gala, and was accompanied by all the pleas
ant little amenities of a quarterly confer
ence and a Temperance convention combined.
the freshness and novelty of the thing cap
tured many for a brief space.
THE party has been furnishing for the want
of some new racket ever since the Rag Baby
died. We've never tried the God and Moral
ity fad. Mebbe that's the sharp thing to do
now"
"Not this year-s'm' other year. We can
turn pious and temperate any time. Wait till
our chances amt so good as they ATE this year.
Now Hoadly's ourman. Hoadly'n catch the
Dutch, and he's got a bar'l.'"

the piano for one of his age. While he is a
creditable student, his mind is given up to
such a variety of subjects that he does not
perfect himself in any one of them. James
is in all respects Harry's opposite. He leads
in his classes, and is much given to outdoor
games.
Mrs. Garfield herself is a changed woman,
and one who saw her two years ago, bur-
dened with the responsibilities of a life she
never cared for, would scarcely recognize her,
so much is she improved. The deep lines
that once marked her face are gone, and in
their stead is an expression that belongs only
to one who is well content with the world.
She manages her affairs seemingly forgetful
Of the past and unmindful of the future, and
yet to one knowing her it is apparent that
she has a regard for both. When asked by a
visitor who was paying her a visit of con-
dolence, if she was not comforted by the
fact that the entire world mourned with her,
she replied, Yes, when l think about it,"
To her friends Mrs. Garfield seldom speaks
of her late husband as dead, but makes use of
the present tense in her allusion to him. In
her surroundings there is but little to denote
the sad tragedy of his death, and all things
pertaining to his sickness in the way of pic
lures, busts, resolutions of respect and the
like are placed by themselves in a memorial
room. In her drawing room is a fine portrait
of General Garfield, taken in his uniform; on
the piano rests the picture of Queen Victoria,
which she sent to Mrs. Garfield, and on a
tabbaare a few books, mostly classic authors.

Weak Spot in an Anecdote.

New York Times.
The old saying that liars should have long
memories find new exemplifcation in the
circulation of a neat little "Lincoln story"
which first appeared in a Boston paper, and
is now travelling on its mendacious mission.
The tale is that IA reliable gentleman called
on President Lincoln lust after jeff Davis
had been captured =" and asked what would
be done with the rebel President. To this,
says the narrator, Lincoln replied with a
story about a coon which a boy had cap
tured and which he could not sell. or kill, or
keep at home. The only weak point about
this historical anecdote is that Lincoln died
April 10, 1865, and that Jefferson Davis was
not captured until May II OF that year.
Otherwise the intense realism of the tale
might deceive the very elect.

How They Looked and Acted at the Birth

New York World.

new Ofk world.
The band had finished its iovial overture
and the various celebrities had been recog-
nized, when a stout person, with a broad red
face, a dimpled double chin, laughing eyes
and thin hair, which actually looked like
threads of silver, nervously elbowed his way
to a seat upon the stage. He had the half
roguish, half timid air of a school-boy called
to receive an unexpected but we'll deserved
prize. In that clerical throng his dress looked
horribly unministerial. His coat was an old
fashioned black broadcloth frock, high
wasted, tight-sleeved and il%l-shaped. An old
fashioned and very limp turn-down collar
was about his neck and a rusty black silk
necktie, also of the most ancient fashion,
rdffled on his snirt-front. In his hand
he swung a soft black hat, such as Western
congressman wear during their first week in
Washington.
The moment this burly gentleman-farmer-
looking parsonage was discovered edging to a
seat, there went up a tremendous shout; then
followed the thunder of applauding feet and
hands, and then the bands swelled the vol
ume OF the general welcome with a hearty
performance of AUD Lang Syne."
The color ebbed and flowed in Mr.. Beech
er's face, as the evidently c%ontending emo
tons of the moment swayed his pulse. The
gladness of his eyes, as the noise of his greet
ing ~resounded, gave place to a sad and
thoughtful look when the half-resolute, half
plaintive old Scotch melody took possession
OF the air.
When Mrs. Beecher, attended by a process
sion of her kindred-her nieces and nephews
and grandchildren, entered the right-hand
lower box, u tremendous roar of applause
went up from the excited people of Ply
mouth, and was echoed by the others as soon
as they learned who she was. Dressed in
deep black, with an old-fashioned black silk
bonnet, in which her fine white profile, with
its slope of silver hair, was framed cameo
fashion, she showed little feeling, but was, no
doubt, possessed of a profound, wifely
graduation. Her box was one of the p~rettiest
sights of the house. The slender, small
grandmother, with her set features and her
plain attire, and the surrounding terraces of
the faces of her family, with a stout and
bright-eyed young grandson playing page to
her, attracted and fascinated most of the
opera-glasses in the academy.

MRS. GARFIELD AT HOME.
Improvement in Her Observation-Disclosures
and Mollie and the Boys.

Cleveland Special.
Mrs. Garfield has made her home in Cleve-
land, and selected her surrounding in so
quiet and careful a manner that COMPARE
lively few even of the late Presidents more
intimate associates have any knowledge of
her plans and of her daily life. Her house
is a plain brick structure, situated on a small
lot in Prospect street. She paid $50, 600 for
it, and regards it more in the light of an in
veshnent than as a permanent home for her
self and children. The affections of the Gar
field family are evidently conferred in the cot
tage at Mentor, and there is an impression
that their residence at any other place will
be temporary. The occupants of the city
home at present are Mrs. Garfield, the late
Presidents mother; Mrs. Larabie, his sister,
vino is in failing health; Miss Mollie Garfield
and the younger boys. Irwin and Abram.
The solemn-looking footman, who ushers
the visitor into the d~rawing-room, is the only
ceremonious person to be found l. in the house.
In consequence of Mrs. Garfield'S with
drawal from all society, the family usually
dine alone. Grandmother Garfield seldom
sits Dime through, and when the dessert is
served she takes whatever she fancies in her
hands and adiournS TO the library. She is
the one occupant OF the house who is always
visible. With her white hair and white cap,
she can be seen at the window, in a little
wicker rocking-chair, busted with her knit
ting or the daily papers.
Miss Mollle is now a charming girl OF SIX
teen, and to her has fallen a greater share of
physical beauty than to any other member
OF the family. She is pursuing her studies
at a private school, and has few acquaint-
ances outside of her school associates. She
is a bright scholar, and her mind is but little
given to society matters. Irwin is like the
Rudolphs. his mothers family. His mind is
keen, and he possesses a shrewd mother-wit.
For a long timeit was thought that the chill
dren were ignorant OF the fact that they
were ever the subjects of public comment,
but one day, after Irwin had been corrected
by his mother, he astonished her by repeat
ing, word for word, an extract from an East
ern paper in which he was made to appear as
a very model of juvenile excellence.
Irwin and Abram, the youngest boy, to-
pether form what might be called a team.
They are regular young athletes, and are the
prime movers i'll the boyish sports of the

Press and Other Comment.
OUT OF POLITICS.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
There is no longer a liquor question in
Ohio that business men need notice. or that
can have an appreciable influence upon po-
litical affairs. The Prohibitionists we still
have with us. but they have a ticket and
party of their own. Not only do they not
control the Republican party, they are OPP
posed to it, and have set up for themselves.
The policy of the Republican party is hap
PLY defined in the Scott law, which was
drawn with great care, is the result of long
agitation and great experience, covers the
ground, and is constitutional. Ii the Demo-
cratic party in Ohio has any policy on the
liquor question that it dares to declare, the
fact does not appear.
INCORPORATE 1T IN THE CONSTITUTION.
Columbus Evening Dispatch.
The Scott law has been declared constitu-
tional. Unfriendly legislation hereafter, or
legislation well meant but unfortunate in
construction, may thrust unconstitutional
elements into the law. 1t is important that
the principle of taxation, if deemed best by
the General Assembly, should be incorpo-
rated in the constitution, so that tinkering
with the statute may not invalidate it. Ger
tain newspapers, for political effect, will say
the Supreme Court was packed for the Scott
law decision. No attorney of good standing
i'll the past will say so, for the bar of the
State has a higher respect for the opinion of
the court than the wet hen politicians.
A NEW CONVENTION FOR THE DEMOCRACY.
Cleveland Leader.
Now that the Supreme Court has affirmed
the constitutionality of the Scott law, our
Democratic friends ought to call a new con-
vention. The liquor plank in their platform
will scarcely fit the canvass, and therefore
needs revision. Their twaddle about sump-
tuary legislation, unequal taxation, and a
graded license system, does not, in view OF
the courts decision, amount to the value of
a pinch of snuff. The ground is cut COM
pletely from under their feet, and their
liquor candidate is not now half so great a
man as he would have been had the decision
been of a reverse character.
HoADBY's INSECURE FOOTING.

The decision leaves judge Hoadly, the
apostate candidate of the Democracy, upon
an insecure footing. He was the attorney of

Court, assuring them that he would win it,
but has been beaten, He was nominated by
them as a mark of their gratitude for his SER
vica in behalf of unrestrained drunkenness,

The decision is only what expected. 1
have been of the opinion all along hat the
law is constitutional. l read with care the
brief on both sides, and, while the points
made against the law were able, | was salts
fled they were not we'll taken. This opinion
was wholly independent of any personal in
terest in the question. 1 have not lad so
keen a personal interest in the question as
many imagine, for l have not regarded it as
important to the campaign. My idea has
been that it is the principle of taxing the
liquor traffic that was at stake, and not this
particular State.
