THE friends of Captain John Il.
Freeman throughout the State, and
members Of the legal fraternity espe-
cially, will be shocked to hear of his
death, which occurred at Jackson,
Tenn, this morning. He had been
seriously i'll for some days and uncon-
scious from the first, but only those
Immediately around him could have
realized that the end was near or the
danger SO great. Captain Freeman
had many strong and fine points of
character and was noted for the fdel-
ity and intensity Of his friendship.
He had his dislikeS as we'll, but never
took undue advantage Of a personal
foe or political opponent. BE had a
big and warm heart, and was a fine
judge and manager Of men. In State
politics he was an acknowledged
power, as Clerk Of the Supreme Court
he was perhaps without superior.
All his records are models Of neatness
and accuracy. His death in the prime
of life and in the midst of its active
duties will be very generally deplored.

old friend of '76, Mr. Henry Waiter.
son, was at the tavern in New York,
he just sent word to him to come right
over to Gramercy Park and bring his
satchel and stay as long as he pleased;
that the girls would be glad to see
him, and that it would not cost him a
cent if he stayed a week. Mr.. Wat.
terson went over with characteristic
difidence and remained "a few days"
as he says Mr.. Tilden likes company
of the right sort, and Mr.. Watterson
suits him. He showed his visitor
around the premises between the
sherry and the cham-no, between
meals; showed him his COWS and
calves, chickens and geese and hens
nests,his dog kennels and rose bushes,
his conservatory and library, his sta
bles, fishing tackle, his kites and
dumb bells and boxing gloves, and
made the young man from the wilds
Of Kentucky not only tired from end
less trapping around, but nervous at
the sight OF so many athletic imple-
ments, such as war clubs, fencing
swords, rows Of graduated weights,
boat oars and polo bats, all handled in
q familiar and reckless sort of fashion
by the recuperated Mr.. Tilden. It's
q great pleasure to know officially,
as they have it in "Pinafore,"
that Mr.. Tilden is we'll again.

Of every man being his own, and his

BIG BRIDGE INCIDENTS.

There was food for enthusiasts on the
bridge. One enraptured soul munched
a ham sandwich in the center of the
structure, while he surveyed the specta-
Gle spread out before him. The inscrip-
ton, apparently done with a stencil plate,
stating that a certain man died May "A
1888, was conspicuous. The first COW
went across from New York last night.
It was driven bygMichael McIlvaney, of
Brooklyn. Three bicycle riders came
over from Brooklyn, and two six-in-ha
tally-ho coaches followed Devin Post,
No 148, G. A. r. marched from Brook
lyn to New York, under command of
Lewis E. Mclaughlin. This was the
first organization to cross in body. A
lemonade-vender gained access from the
New York side at 11:30, and cried his
liquid at two cents a glass. A blind
man playing ''G Git Away from Dat Win
dow met him in the middle of the bridge
and stopped to slake his thirst. A toll
taker estimated the receipts for foot pas
sengers for the "a hours at from $1,000
to 81 800. Very few bills were offered.
In the little houses where the pennies
were received boxes and drawers were
bursting with coins. Thirteen boxes,
each about eighteen inches long, twelve
inches wide and six inches deep, were
taken away at one time. It was said
that nearly $1,000 was taken in for the
passage of vehicles. Many truckmen
took passengers across for five cents each.
The officers said that no one had at
tempted to commit suicide from the
bridge.-New York Times.

Dairy woman often complain because
their butter stamps and cups check or
split after little use, so as to become
worthless. A butter stamp should be
washed and scalded after use, and then
put away damp, and where it will keep
damo until wanted again. Any wood
used for handling salted butter will soon
be filled with brine, and there is no nee
essity of drying it through and through.
The Young men are coming to the
front in the publishing business. 1t is
stated that Charles Schribner. the head

it is not yet out of his twenties, and his

of fhe Harpers who take very active
part in business are young men. 1t is
the same way at Appletons'. It is EMr.
Willie" as he is calledsabout the place,
who takes the most active part in the
business, though William H., the senior
member of the house, is at his office every
day. Mr.. Durham, who represents Cas-
sell, Peter, Galpin & Co. in this country,
is a young man, and Mr.. Houghton, who
represents Houghton, Mif1in & Co. in
New York, is even younger. The Holts are
young men, and so are the Putnams.
The Memphis Avalanche, one OF the
most ultra Democratic papers in the
South, makes the following allusion to
the growth of protective tariff doctrines
IN that section:
The Southern newspapers have given
frank expression to their views of this
question, and surprisingly stong anti
free trade sentiment in the South has
been developed The rapid growth of
manufactures for the past two years in
the South has convinced the people that
iudicious tariff policy will be a potent
factor in not only building up towns and
cities, but will build up also great home
markets for the products of our farmers,
so that they, too, can share in the general
prosperity. The problem Of diversified
industries will then be solved in the
South. The Southern protectionists do
not care to trust the Republican party,
more especially asthey feel strong enough
to put down the British free-trade non
sense in their own party. In fact, when
the tug of war comes, it will be found
that the Democratic party isquite as capao
BILE of taking care Of its free-trade luna
tics as the Republican party is to care for
the same unfortunate persons in its own
party.
