Boston Post Said the civilian as he saw
the cordiality between the Boston soldiers
and their Southern guests: "And these are
the men our rsoldiers were trying to licka few
years ago, and now see how they respect
themu' An old veteran replied: Hang
it sir, you'd respect 'em if you'd been there
and seen how hard they were to lick"
The port physician of Boston says that
within the past six months he has eXamln-
ed $3.50 assisted emigrants. Many OF
them are too feeble, by reason of age or
other infirmities for self support, and must
be aided by private and public charities:
Most of them are without any baggage and
are scantily clothed.
In speech at Springfield, Mass, last
Friday night, John Kelly sharply criticised
Tilden for not courageously calling on the
Presidency of the United States in 1876.
He also said that Tilden tried to get the
nomination in 1880, and failing in this, used
his influence in New York to defeat Han
cock.
- The number of failures throughout the
entire country for the first half of the year,
ending last Friday, reported by R. 6. Dun
& Co., is 1867, against 1857 during the same
period in 1882 and 2,S62 in 1881. The total
amount, Of liabilities for the first half OF
1888 is $66, 900, 900. For the same period in

Great success is attending the Mormon
propaganda in England. The numerous
elders and deacons are making Wig.
OrOus campaign. In the poorer districts OF
London several hundreds of converts have
been secured and in the mining centres of
Wales large numbers have focked to the
Mormon Standard. A first detachment of
700 has already left Liverpool for Salt lake
and other companies are to follow.
The London Ners of Thursday morn
ing says it is perfectly within Americas
right to prevent the landing of Irish pau
pers on her soil. The gross negligence in
shipping them is most cruel. If assisted
emigration continues it must be conducted
differently. There is no reason to believe
that the government has co-Operated with
any other agency than Mr.. Tukes, but mere
inactiOn is not enough.
The tariff question will be the controlling
issue in the Iowa State campaign this year.
The Democrats have nominated ticket for
the State officers upon a platform, the key
note of which is, ga tariff for revenue only,
by gradual but persistent reduction of
protective duties" The Republicans on
Wednesday nominated a ticket upon pro-
lection platform, with Buren B. Sherman
for Governor. The New York Times thinks
its party friends in Iowa have blundered
badly.
The President issued an executive order
on Monday promulgating the changes made
in the internal revenue collection Districts

reduced from 126 to 80. The only changes in
the South are in Alabama, Georgia, Ten
nessee, Virginia and North Carolina. Geor-
gia is made one District, and North Carolina
changed considerably, leaving her in two
Districts.
Valentines recumbent figure of General
Robert f. Lee was unveiled at Lexington,
Va, last Thursday with imposing ceremo-
nies in the presence of 5000 people. Cen
eral Wade Hampton acted as Chief Marshal

Marshal. The procession formed on the
University campus at O'Clock and march
ed to the cemetery, and having decorated
the grave of StoneWall Jackson returned and

The exercises were opened on the University
campus by prayer by Rev. r. J. Mcbride.
The New York Times says "The Rail-
road commission of Georgia is demonstra-
ting it's usefulness by requiring the railroads
of that State to furnish means for protect
ing merchandise offered for shipment from
damage by the weather. A railroad in the
North which failed to do this would be con-
sidered behind the times, but in the South
ern States it is common to leave cotton, for
instance, exposed to rain and dust while
awaiting shipment. This order of the COM

Of the two hundred assisted Irish emf
grants who have been detained for week
past in Castle Garden, New York, the i'm
migration commissioners, acting under in
structions sent from the State Department
ut Washington, have already decided to send
back by the steamships on which they came,
twenty-eight pauper families and nineteen
other persons, among whom were twelve
women with illegitimate children. The
rule which has gOvercned the commission
ers in their action appears to send back only
those persons or families who have either
been inmates Of almhOuses or were incOm-
petent to make living for themselves.
well, charged with an outrage on 12 year
old daughter of DIR. Cook at Atlanta, Ga,
published last week, was concluded on
Tuesday afternoon, after two days of racy
evidence, adroit prosecution and eloquent
defense. The court room was packed du-
ring the trial. During the argument of
Hoke Smith, for the defence, while he
was commenting on the character of the
girl, DIR. Cook called him a liar and started
for him. Smith promptly knocked him
down, and there was the greatest confusion
in court. Quiet was restored and the trial
proceeded. The court pronounced in IA
vor of Brightwell, and ordered hisdischarge.
This was greeted with loud cheers of ap-
proval throughout the court room. The re-
suit meets with public approval in Atlanta.
Friday night there were threats of lynching
made against Brightwell, but since the re-
suit of the trial he is congratulated on all
sides and his innocence established.
One of the strangest funerals on record
was, that of DIR. j. S. Fords, of Hagerstown,
Ind, which occurred at West Sonora, Ohio,
two weeks ago, and of which a dispatch to
the Boston Herald gives the following ac-
account: "He died of heart disease, after
being bedEst three months. He was fifty
six years Old, and his widow, his third
wife, whom he married three years ago. is
twenty one. He made cast-lron Will,
giving his widow $4,000. Healso left sums
of 5000 and $500 each to all the women who
are now maids or widows whom he courted
in his unmarried days. This required
5000. Notes outstanding on people who
would be pushed to pay them he destroyed
to the amount of $4,000. The hired girl
and his wife's relatives were remembered
in small sums. Two weeks before his death
he employed and paid the Rev. Mr.. Shack
elford, of the Methodist Church, &25, and
