ansL.oIL

Mai. ". II. Rhea has been appointed coal
oil inspector by Gov. Bate, and will to-day
receive his commission and enter upon the
discharge OF his duties at an early day. 1t
is TO be regretted that this question has ellie.
tied 90 much feeling snd provoked 30 much
elimination and recrimlnstion. All thin has
grown out Of a misapprehension of the facts.
When the situation is properly understood
it will be seen that Gov. Bate could not do
otherwise than appoint Maj. Rhea, and that
HE course in this matter will be approved
AMI admired by every person who can ap-
preciate the delicate sensibility of a truly
chivalric character. In the fret place, Mai.
Rhea is competent for the Office. He is an
old citizen, a gentleman Of integrity and
high social position, and for several years
has been a faithful, Jealous working Demo-
crat. He was recommended by the Demo-
cratic party for the position Of ~coal-oil
inspector in 1876, and 60 strong were the in
hueuces in his favor that Gov. Porter did
not hesitate TO appoint him. TIE same
influences induced Gov. Marks to
reappoint him in 1878. Neither Por.
ter nor Marks we're condemned for their
action. The appointment was approved by
the Democratic party of Shelby county.
Maj Rhea was removed by Gov. Hawkins
in 1881, and with the restoration of the Dem
ocratic party 10 power, he asked to be re.
stored to the position from which he had
been removed on account Of his uusWerying
fidelity 10 his party. Several others ap-
piled for the Office, backed by powerful in.
huences. It was known that the most cor
dial and intimate friendship had subsisted
between Gov. Bate and Maj. Rhea for twenty.
hye years, and in order to sever this friend
ship II was even charged that Mai. Rhea did
not vote the Democratic ticket in the No
Vember election. This misrepresentation is
still circulated and believed by many, and
in order to show the injustice done Maj.
Rhes, we publish the following certificate:
MEMPHIS, TENN, May 2, 1888.

They IRE No tStrangers, Mamma

Helen Williams in Woman's World.
Not leng ago | stood by the death
bed of little girl. From her birth she
had been afraid of death. Every iber
of her body and soul recoiled from the
thought of it. Don't let me die "
she said; don't let me die. Hold me
fast. Oh, | can't 60 !" Jennie" |
said, you have two little brothers in
the other world, and there are thous.
ands of tender hearted people over
there who will love you and take care
OF you But she cried out again de.
Spairingly, HDon't Let me 60, they are
strangers over there" She was little
country girl, strong limbed, feet of
foot, tanned in the face; she was raised
on the frontier; the fields were her
home. In vain we tried to reconcile
her to the death that was inevitable,
Hold me fast" she cried, don't let
me CO." But even 40 she was pleading
her little hands relaxed their clinging
hold from my waist and lifted them
selves eagerly aloft; lifted themselves
with such straining effort that they
lifted the wasted little body from its
reclining position among the pillows,
Her face was turned upwards but il
was her eyes that told the story. They
were alled with the light Of divine
recognition. They saw something
plainly that we could not soc and thew
grew brighter and brighter, and her
little hand quivered in eagerness to 20
where strange portals had opened upon
her astOnished vision. But even in
that supreme moment she did not for,
get to leave 3 word Of comfort for
these who would have gladly died in
her place.
"Mamms," she was saying, IMAM
ma, they are not strangers. I'm not
afraid And every instant the light
burned more gloriously in her blue
eyes, till at last it seemed "a if her
soul leaped forth upon its radiant
waves, and in that moment her trem-
bling form Felapsed among its pillows
and she was gone, w
