THERE is nothing like good dinner and
much wine to warm the heart aud stimu-
late the tongue. At the dinner to Lord
Coleridge by the city of Boston on Satur-
day night that gentleman, in the course
OF a speech, said: England and America
are one in blood and language, in law, in
hatred of oppression and love of liberty.
We are bound together in the golden
chains Of love and affection, and two ma
tioas so united can never again be sepa-
rated" Bustling Ben Butler, not to be
outdone by this old Englander in his
taffy TO the New Englanders, declared: !:
"The peculiar climatic conditions which
had required at one season all our re-
sources to keep warm and at another all
the same to keep cool had stimulated
invention and made us what we are-the
ripe production OF English brain, of Eng
lish culture and of English pluck" When

| at the convention !

JOHN Roach, as a self-made man, de-
serves the highest credit for what he has
done for himself and the country, but this
does not render him an authority on the
tariff. He says that neither wool, cotton
nor iron can be manufactured in this
country so cheaply as to compete with
European manufactured articles. This is
not true. New England manufactured
cottons have been sold in England to the
disadvantage of English cottons, and the
wool OF Australia and Texas is manufac-
tured into cloth in Europe and is sold here
with tariff added to make a profit Of 100
per cent. for our WOODEN mills. AS to iron,
we here in Memphis can manufacture it
at from 80 80 to So per ton less than Mr.
Roach can at Chester, Pa, and S3 less than
at Pittsburg The South can manufacture
woolens, eottons and iron cheaper than
England, and pay her operatives better
wages, and does not want tariff.

New YORK, September 12.-In the cele-
brated cotton suit of the government
against Harrison Johnston, ex-special
agent of the Treasury Department, pend
ing for years in the United States Circuit
Court, Judge Choate, referee, filed his re-
port deciding that the defendant is entitled
to judgment and dismissing the complaint
on its merits. The referee holds that the
government acquiesced in the disposition
made by the defendant of the cotton in
question by accounting with defendant,
and by the payment and settlement of de-
fendant's per diem allowance and commits
sion, and that said accounting, payment and
settlement are bar 10 this action. John
ston was appointed during the latter part
of the war special agent OF the Treasury to
collect the so-called Confederate cotton in
several counties i'll Mississippi, and it was
alleged that he had sold large quantities
and converted the proceedsto his own use.

was called upon regarding the story pub

views touching Buffers political future.
Blaine said he rarely noticed sensational
paragraphs of any kind, but he would in
this case say that the views attributed to
him were precisely the reverse of those he
held. He did not believe Butler could be
reelected Governor of Massachusetts,, and
had the fullest confidence that Republi-
can President would be chosen next wear.
The Republican party, he added, will be
found far stronger in the elections of 1888
than in either 1875 or 1879.

nrackening Her nrot.,er.. memoir,

DETROIT, September 12.-Some sixteen
months ago these dispatches mentioned
the fact that the will of Father ID. Ceu-
nunck, 4 Roman Catholic priest here, re-
Gently deceased at Big Rapids, Mich,
made bequest OF $1,000 to his sister and
about as much to nine other parties, and
gave a similar sum to his hOusekeeper,
and made her young soRresiduary legatee,
the amount given him being quite large.
The sister, in contesting the will, alleged
that the deceased priest and housekeeper
had long sustained Illicit relations, and
that her son was the fruit of these rela-
tions. 1t now transpires that the contest
of the will has never been prosecuted, and
has finally lapsed. The housekeepef
claims that it is 4 case OF blackmail.
