The Senate went into executive
session at an early hour on the 18th,
and after four hours of debate rati-
fed the Mexican treaty. The vote
was Al 10 20. The ratification gives
a good deal Of satisfaction. There
is one thing, however, which re-
mains 10 be done before the treaty
can 90 into effect and this thing in
wolves a tariff discussion. 1t will be
necessary TO place on the free list
such articles rs the Mexican Gov
eminent have agreed to let into that
country free Of duty. Among these
articles is sugar of certain grades.
When this comes before the House
IL will be bitterly opposed by the
sugar growers Of Louisiana and 9th
er Southern States and the great
body of prOtsctiOnists.

ExpOsTYG 4 CANARD.

Knoxville, Tom, March =, 1891.
American GrOcsr aud Dry Goods CHRONICLES:
| enclose you an account of a case
of poisoning, said to have arisen
from eating blackberries preserved
in glass, and not in tin. 1t shows
that everyone who gets sick, or poi
soned, by using preserved good 10
not made so by the use of goods
preserved in tin. The case OF sick
ness referred to is the only one that
have ever herd of i'm this State
arising from the use of preserved
food. There arc millions of cans of
food used in this State. The cry
about canned goods being poison
Gus or unhealthy is all a humbug.
/ have used thousands of tins in my
family for the past twenty-five
years, and we have yet TO be made
sick for the first time or affected
by them in any way that was disa-
greeable. j have used canned goods
that were four or five years old
without i'll effect. Respectfully,
J. i. Hudiburg.
Our correspondent will please
accept our thanks for prompt atten-
ton to the Guthrie poisoning case,
reference to which is made editori-
ally. We hope every reader of our
paper, especially every dealer in
food products, viii take pleasure in
promptly investigating and report
ing every case OF sickness or death
occurring in their neighborhOod
that is attributed TO the use of can
ned goods. 1t seems to check a pre-
iudice which sensational journalism
keeps alive and fosters, to the great
injury of al important and growing
industry. To check such reports Is
Of direct pecuniary benefit to every
retailer, aud therefore we ask them
to become our faithful lieutenants
in guarding the canned goods inter
est.

LET Us NAVE PEACE.

Time and again the World has
extended the right hand Of fellow
ship to our Democratic comrades,
through the smoke of the battle of
1882. In that year the redemption
Of the State occurred, and the party
was unified. In that year n Demo
cratic administration was placed in
power. which, il il well known, has
prescribed no one. Here are Luke
Wright and John V. Wright, and
III. III. LurtOn, who are representa-
tive men amongst those who voted
against the regular ticket IN 1882,
a. much as any leaders we know,
saying that they are in line and we
have no more warfare for them.
Let Us all follow suit and present
solid front TO a common enemy
Nashville World.
When we have il from themselves
or from some reliable source that
the gentlemen named have surrend-
cred their convictions of right and
sought political utilization with the
World gang, VIC shall believe it, not
before. The Messrs. Wright, Lur-
ton and other leaders Of the State
credit faction of 1882 are quiescent
At present They acknowledge that
the debauehment of public senti-
ment on the debt question is APP
parently complete. That they ac-
quiescs in the scheme as right,
which brought about this expensive
degradation, we do not believe and
never will until they say 30 in the
most public and emphatic manner.
An officer may lose all hope Of ap-
pretending n criminal bis lOas of
hope should not be construed as a
justification by him Of the crime
committed by the fugative. So we,
in common with the great body of
those who strOve for a businsss-like
and decent settlement Of our States
obligations, have no expectation Of
attaining such adjustment; but we
are not going to debase ourselves by
striking hands with the brawling,
selfelected, insolent organ, which
has done nothing but laud roguery
and abuse honesty, not If we know
it. THE right hand" il extends ia
the dirty paw Of dirty dsmagOgy,
and It's scaly fingers are seen through
the smoke of q battle in which the
States credit was ruined forever
and her degradation was completed.
The impudenee Of the Republican
repudiator- penitentiary-lessee, Mr..
Cherry, in rendering his sweet for
giveness to such Democrats as John
Y. Wright, James ID. Porter and
their companions of 80, reaches the
sublime Chattanooga Times

suddenly rang through the room,
and one of the young ladies fell to

dangerous wound in her leg. 1t is
supposed that one of the dancers
had a pistol in his pocket which was
accidentally discharged. The cul-
prit did not divulge his identity.

IN MEMORIAM.

Myrtle D. PURKEr was born September goth,
1877, and died January 14th, 1884 and the follow
ing is the last prayer she repeated:
Snow lay me down to sleep,
pray the Lord my soul to keep;
And if should die before I wake,
Ipray the Lord my soul to take"
All. those little ice cold fingers
How they point our memories back,
To the hasty words and actions,
Strewn along our backward track.
How those little hands remind us,
AS in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns, bat roses,
For our reaping, by and by.
Lips from which the seal of silence,
None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed in such eauty,
AS adorns the mouth to-day
And sweet words that fright our memory,
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to us in sweeter accents,
Through the portals of the tomb.
Now the dainty pillow next my own,
Is never rumpled by a shining head;
Ny singing blrdling from its nest has flown
The little girl [ used to kiss, is dead.
When the dimpled cheeks and laughing eyes
From the rumpled pillow shone,
Then we gazed with gladness; now we look and
sigh
Home is lonely, Myrtie's gone.
Jesus the ancient faith confirms,
To our Great Father given;
He takes our children to his arms
And calls them heirs of Heaven.
Oh, God how faithful are thy ways
Thy love endures the same
Nor from the promise of thy grace,
Blots out our children's name
Myrtle left her home for the golden shore,
Over the silvery water she has flown;
Gone to join the angels, peaceful evermore-
Home Is lonely, Myrtie's gone!

A GR0GER's TRICK.

This happened long ago-in the
early days of Minneapolis-and is
related to show that even in those
DAYS the grocer was up to snuff. A
certain we'll known individual, now
a resident of st. Cloud, was dealing
in groceries in Minneapolis then,
and told the story himself the 9th
Ell day, as follows
II happened to strike four chests
Of tea, which | bought at bargain
-25 a pound. These four chests
of tea, were all the same quality
and brand, but were all had, and
of course as my customers expected
a variety of prices, / accommodated
them. | turned the tell-tale side
of the chests toward the wall, and
marked the tea to suit the custom
ers. Deacon -, still a resident
of the city, came in one day after
some tea and wanted a good article.
/ gave him sample from each of
the four chests to take home and
try, stating their respective prices
as 35, so, IS cents and 81 pound.
Well, after testing the samples he
returned and rendered his decision
as follows:
"That 35-cent tea is n very fair
article for the price; the 50-cent tea
is much better; the 75-cent tea is
excellent, and the dollar tea is a
very superior article, can assure
you. But | can't quite go that
figure. Let me have 10 pounds of
the 75-cent tea"
He was accommodated. How
-grocers have changed since then!

A terrible explosion occurred in
the coal miEes of the Southwest
Virginia Improvement Company,
at Pocahontas, Tazewell county,
Va. at one o'clock, on the morning
Of the 18th. There were $50 men
in the mines al the time of the ex-
plosiou, not one Of whom is believed
to have escaped. Those who were
not killed outright by the terrible
force Of the explosion most likely
persisted from after damp. The
cause of the explosion is not yet
definitely ascertained, but the pre-
sumption il that one of the miners
struck assure filed with gas.

There was no quorum in the New
Jersey Assembly on the afternoon
of the l1th. Many members were
attending the annual town meet

answer to their names. The reason
is said to have been that poker
party at one of the hotels engrOssed
their interest.

Roumania is famous for the facil-
ity of its divorce and the laxity Of
ITS morals. 1t is, however, not SO
generally known that the usage of
the laxest society in Europe imposes
the severest restraint upon the in
nocent social intercourse between
the young of both sexes. A lady
writing from Bucharest sends the
following dismal account of the way
i'm which the ROumanian Mrs. Grun-
DIV tyranizes over the unmarried
woman: Girls have very little
liberty here. If a gentleman is
seen dancing more than twice dur
ing the same evening with a young
lady, he is as much compromised as
the unhappy maiden herself, and
Immediately bounced upon by a
score of relatives demanding his in
tentfbns. No conversation can take
place between the young couples,
as directly after the dance the gen.
tleman must trot his partner back
to the maternal wing. A young
girl is allowed to have little or no
intercourse with men, and a harm
less Irritation would be ruinous to
her reputation in Bucharest. How
can girls mind develop under
these and the accompanying cir.
cumstances ? No wonder she &C
cents the first offer of marriage as a
means of smaaeipating herself, nei-
thcr il IL astonishing that men new
or trouble themselves to talk for
any length of time 10 an unmarried
lady"

1t is mistake to suppose that
the Princess of Wales is the leader
of fashion in London Were she so !,
crinolettes, high shoulders, and in
ordinately high heels would never
have been seen, nor loud combina-
tons of color and elaborate head
gear. The Princess is celebrated
for being always dressed in quiet
and perfect taste. She goes in for
a rather severe style of'tailor- made
garments just now. OF course she
is initiated If she appears in
gray or pink hat, many are the gray
and pink heads to be seen but for
one who will follow the Princess's
quiet, ladylike style, twenty will
follow the lead of some eccentric,
original, or celebrated actress.
