THE FAMILY MEETING:
We are all here,
Father, mother,

We are All here
Father mother,
Sister, brother.
All who hold each other dear.
Each chair is filled; we're ali at home
Tonight let no cold stranger come.
IL Is not often thus around
our old familiar hearth we're found;
Bless, then, the meeting and the spot;
For once be every care forgot;
Let gentle peace assert her power,
And kind affection rule the hour
We are alI-All here
We're not all here
Some are away-the dead ones dear,
Who thrOnged with US this ancient hearth,
And gave the hour to gulleless mirt6.
Fate with stern, relentless hand,
Looked In, and thlnned our little band.
Some ike night flash passed away,
And some sank lingering day by day
The quiet graveyard-sOm lie there:
And cruel ocean has his share
We're not an here
We are all here
Even they-the dead-though dead. so dear
Fond memory, TO her duty true,
Brings back their faded forms TO view.
How llfelike through the mist of years
Each aforementioned face appears
We see them. as In times long past;
From each TO each kind looks are cast;
We hear their words. their smiles behold;
They're round us, as they were Of old.
We are all here.
We are all here
Father. mother,
Sister. brother
You that love with love so dear.
This mas not long Of us be said
Soon must we Join the gathered dead,
And by the hearth we now sit round
Some other circle Will be found.
on, then, that wisdom may we know,
Which yields life Of peace below,
80. in the world to follow this,
MAY each repeat, In words OF bliss
We are all--all here!

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1883-12-29

Last Thursday afternoon the resi-
dence of Mrs. Sue Sugg was destroy
ed by fire which. spread through the
large building with fearful rapidity.
Prof. Paul, who occupied the up
stairs as a residence and day shool,
barely escaped with his life-he and
his daughter Jennie leaping from the
upper porch to the ground, after all
other means of escape had been cut
off by the hungry flames. The Pauls
lost their piano and everything else,
not even saving a change of clothes.
Prof. Gustav Jacobs, who occupied
rooms down stairs, saved his piano
and household effects. Mrs. Sugg
lost nearly everything. No iusur>
ance. Cause of the fre-ashes de-
posted in barrel in the kitchen.
Keep your eye on your own premises
and move your ash barrel into the
country.-Dyersburg Gazette.

A New Felony.

On the 18th instant, one Hugh
Hamilton was committed to Jail, in
default of bail, by Justice Blair Pier
son, to answer the charge of dispos-
ing of mortgaged property with intent
to deprive the beneficiary of the same.
This prosecution is preuicted on an
Act of the Tennessee Legislature,
passed at its last session, Chapter 1854.
As it is matter of very general iu>
terest we give the principal part of
the Act.
Sec. LIST. That if the maker of
any registered mortgage or deed of
trust, or any other person, shall dis
Pose of their property, conveyed in
or covered ny such conveyance, with
the purpose of depriving the mort
gagee, trustee, or any beneficiary of
the same, or any part thereof, or the
proceeds, such person, so disposing
of such property, shall he guilty of Il
felony, whether the party SO ofiend>
Ing had custody of the property I
the time or not. Provided that this
act shall not apply to mortgage or
deeds of trust of real estate.
Sec. 2nd. Prescribes the punish.
ment, which is from three to ten
years imprisonment in the peniten'
tiary, where the property is value
exceeding thirty dollars; and one t'
five years where it is of less value; OF
in the comfy Jail, at the discretion Of
the court orjury.
1t is thus made very grave offens,
to dispose of personal property, which
has been conveyed III mortgage OF
trust. The evil sought to he rene
died Is not an uncommon one, ant
ought TO he represssl, rs its mora
turpitude and injury IT, porpert,
rights, are, AS the Legislature regard
It, on Il parity with the crime of lar
ceny itself.-Ripley News.

The Labor Question.

Mr.. Samuel Croker, Of Iowa, gave
two public lectures at Masonic Han,
Saturday and Saturday night, under
the auspices Of the Knights Of Labor
Assembly of this city. Mr.. Croker is
deeply tinctured with greenbackism As
well as free trade and his speech Sat
urday afternoon abounded with argu-
ments in support Of these views. Just
how this is to help the order, which is
composed of working men, nrespec-
tive Of party, we can scarcely figure
out. However, there is no harm in dis.
cussion so long as the speaker speaks
for himself alone. We understand that
the speech at night was better liked,
generally, by those who were present.
We are sorry business engagements
prevented our listening to it. Mr..
Crocker is quite a pleasant speaker,
and is author of several works on polit-
ical, financial and industrial questions.

Hot Water.

The Lagrange Democrat says that
the trouble in which Rev. VIM. Smith,
the holiness preacher, got into at Staff
ensville. Shelby county. where he had
to flee from an angry mob, was caused
by agul's telling her brother that Smith
had made an indecent proposal to her.
This brother. infuriated, was assisted by
other young men in the neiehborhood.
and had made preparations to kill
Smith Il he should return to that place.
Long accounts have appeared in the
Knox and Lewis papers Of this trou.
bic. but this item gives the substance
Of them. Mr.. Smith is well known
here, and 80 far IS We know always
conducted himself with propriety here.
He is . brother Of Rev. Aura Smith.-

A mAnoxEDAs messlAs.

The present year, and the present
month, is an important one
in the eyes Of every devout
Mahomedan. Tradition and prophesy
point 10 it as the time when q new
prophet is to appear, and the in6del
world, which includes in their vocabu-
lsfy every one, christian or pagan. not
q believer in Mahommet, shall be
brought to judgement and be compel.
led to accept the 'rue religion ofIslam
or be swept away like chaff and con.
signed to the pit. 1t is not strange
therefore that El Mahdi, called by his
opposers, the false prophet" should
be hailed by thousands Of ignorant de-
voices as tie promised one, the ian.
ointed," the second coming Of the Pro.
phet. and that they should flock to his
standard as the true leader ofthe faith
full.
The recent defeat and annihilation
Of the Egyptian army consisting of
10000 men, with vast stsres Of arms
and amunitions of war. under tie COM
mand Of Gen. Hicks. IS accounted as a
signal vindication of the pretenses of
the new prophet, and has opened up
all northern Africa to the ravages Of a
barbarian horde. Dispatches from
caro-, dated last Sunday report that
Khartoum has been captured by FL.
Mahdi, and that his army is in full
possession Of this importan. point.
Khartoum is place Of 10000 in.
habitants situated on the blue Nile.
short distance above its junction with
the white Nile. 1t has a great caravan
traffic and its population is a mixture OF
all nations. 1t is the capital city Of the
Soudan as the upper Nile possessions
of Egypt are styled. 1t is nine hum
dred miles from Carlo.
Fl. Mahdl's original army numbered
nearly 3oo, 900 men, and since his re-
cent successes, has been increased to
near halt a million. Should he con.
tinue his march northward, Egypt pro-
per will shortly become scene of an.
archy and doubtless England will find
her provisional protectorate" over
that country an embarrassing position,
and one which may call for an i'm.
mense outlay and a bloody war to
maintain.
Should the Prophet continue his Sue
cesses without serious reverses for a
few months there is no telling what re.
suits nigh: grow out Of it. The follow
ers Of Mahommet outnumber nearly
:wo TO one, the christian population Of
the globe, Catholic, Protestant and
Greek combined, and they have a faith
and fanaticism that knows no limits
or stops at no obstacles. 1t would be |
strange sight indeed If history shonld
repeat itself, and eastern Europe be
again over run, p]undered and
subdued by a fanatical horde
of barbarians in the name of a reli.
gion.

LITERARY NOTES.

The B. & o. Red Book for Ohio,
1883. is out, and is beyond question
the cleverest of all issues of this popu-
lar political text book. 1t would be
difficult to imagine a more complete
showing of the recent elections than is
made in the Red Book. Not only are
the regular tables of comparisons IN
troduced in full detail, but special ta-
bles as well, embracing every feature
of possible interest. For instance, in
one table, the vote Of each party is
shown by years back to and including
the presidential election of 1880, each
result being compared by counties
with that of 1883. Another table of
much interest is that in which Hoad-
ley's vote is compared with the vote of
the Democratic candidates for Cover
nor back to Bishops time. A third
special table shows Foraker's vote by
comparison with Fosters in 1881 and
1879, and Vests in 1877. The Pro.
hlbition vote, and the vote for the
Prohibition amendment. is digested to
the clearest and fullest detail, and
throughout the little book 1t is model
of compilation. To prepare and pub
Gsh so exhaustive a work in so short a
time following the election. was an en-
terprise no other company but the B.
& O. would have thought Of. All the
returns are from the official reports to
the Secretary of State. In addition,
the new Red Book contains the full
list of members of the U. S. Senate
and House of Representatives of the
past, as well as the incoming congress,
Governors Of states, date Of convening
of legislatures, and in fact almost no
end of political information. 1t is in
deed a valuable volume foi the pocket
or the desk of all interested in such
matters. Sent free on application to
