THE RECEPTION.

Last Saturday evening was prob
ably the most enjoyable one ever
passed at the ''Tabard Inn"
The occasion was the supper given
by Mr.. Thos. Hughes to all his
friends in Rugby, and over eighty
persons responded to their invita-
tions.
At six o'clock the dining room
doors were opened, and the beauti-
fully arranged tables were certainly
a credit to the proprietor, MIR. Abner
L. Ross, Jr. Beside being supplied
with all the substantials of this
mountain district, Mr.. Ross had
brought from Cincinnati a fine Sc
lection of delicate pastries, bon bons,
confections and fruits.
The evening passed away in social
conversation, every one enjoying the
pleasant attentions of their host
Mr.. Thos. Hughes. His mother was
also present, and took an active part
in the entertainment.

ANOTHER SOUTHERN ADVANTAGE.

Nashville is to have a canning
factory. We look forward to a time
in the near future when the entire
South will be dotted over with fac
tories of this kind. The abundance
of fruits of excellent quality should
give her the inside on the traffic in
canned goods. If she can supply
the Northern markets with early
vegetables and fruits in advance of
their own season, the same energy
and skill ought to be at hand for the
successful conduct of the larger and
more important work Of preserving
for the winter months such fruits
and vegetables as are demanded for
Northern tables; and, once intro
duced, will be in demand in England
and on the Continent.
Already a large trade exists be-
tween Baltimore and the South Sea
Islands, and there is no reason fol
conhning the trade to Baltimore, as
a number of Southern cities are as
favorably located, and possess the
capital and ability to insure success

The following extract is from the
charge of Judge Allen, of the Nash
vile Criminal Court, on last Mon
day, is worthy of notice. He says /:
"Bad men in the liquor business
have their associations to break the
force of any attempt to interfere
with them in the violation of the
law. Their favorite boast is of their
power at the polls; their powor to
put men in office who will permit
them to do as they please. The
sooner it is discovered that the
criminal classes are ruling the
country, the better for the great
mass of people who do not commit
crime"

MIXED CITIZENSHIP.

Ap exchange states that ga man
without a country" is about to appear
before French court for the purpose
of having country assigned him.
The facts are these
The man was born at Wazemmes,
near Lilies and his father was born IN
Belgium at time when Belgium
formed a part of French territory. On
the ground that he was not French
citizen he was recently expelled from
France for menacing the local auth ORR
ties Of a French Commune, and escorted
to the Belgian frontier. His case was
taken up in the Belgian Chamber and
the Ministry declared him to be citi-
zen of France. He has therefore re-
turned to France and caused himself to
be arrested for violating tho decree of
expulsion, in order that his nationality
may be definitely decided.
We have case in this city some
what similar. The young man was
born in Alsatia when that province
was part of France, but had not at
tanned his majority at tho time of its
occupation and conquest by Germany.
He was not permitted, being q minor,
by the German authorities to elect
whether he would become French ,or
German subject. Meanwhile, his
father had been uaturaliZeu in the
United States. The young man went
to Paris finally, and then came to the
United States, but before having reach.
ed the age of 81 years. He is neither
French, having never been enrolled, -
nor German, having never been adopted
nor American, having never been nat
uralizcd. He is curious to know Wh(
and what he is.

The Times-Democrat, describing the
situation respecting the overflow as it
appeared last Monday, says that the
swamps below Memphis have just be-
gun to fiji up. Three days ago a man
could ride on horseback through the
Tensas swamp in Madison parish.
There is a big rise in the Mississippi at
Cairo, but none is following it from
above. The Missouri and the Upper
Mississippi have not yet opened, and
the Ohio is falling rapidly at Cincinnati
ii and Louisville. There is no freshet
in the Arkansas river, none
in Red River. And mean
while, the flood above is filling
tho upper swamps and running out to
sea with the swift current of the Mis-
sissippi. Unless there should be sud
den warm spells throughout the North
and West, followed by spring rains
and general thaws, there seems no rea-
sonable ground for experimenting n
repetition of the terrible experiences
of last spring.
