Pilcrimaees TO Grerstone.

Since the alleged visit Of Gen. Clunie to
Mr.. Tilden pilgrimages of prominent poll
ticians to Greystone promise to be dis
tressingly frequent.
The last visit Of the kind that has been
reported up to date is that Of Nj. Erskine
Phelps, President of the lroquois Club, of
Chicago. He stated to some friend in
Washington the other day that he found
Mr.. Tilden in fair physical condition, but
not inclined to talk much about politics.
He said that the sage of GreystOne con-
Versed entirely in a low whisper, hence it
may be inferred that he is not altogether
so vigorous as he was when the Hon.
Henry WattersOn was rOmping around
the house with him less than a year ago.
He listened very attentiyely, however, to
the reports of the strong feeling said to
exist in Illinois in favor of the sold
ticket" but had nothing to say about his
own views on the great political questions
of the day.
The fact that the country knows so lit
tie as to the physical and mental condi-
ton of the man who was elected Presi-
dent IN 1876 appears to be an inexplica-
L
ty certain that his health is by no means
vigorous, and, if we may take an anec-
dote related by Mr.. Phelps as a pointer,
his mind is not as strong as it was a few
years back. Speaking of a handle I"d''
visitors enthusi~---- over the sceherH
oro,,,,a keystone, Mr.. Phelps said she
exclaimed to Mr.. Tilden, Il have never
seen anything so beautiful in the world.
and never expect to see anything to equal
it in loneliness" At this his face light
ened up and he replied in a loud whisper,
Tut, tut! look in your glass"
1t is quite apparent that the efforts of
a few newspapers to start a Tilden boom
is premature. The fact that he was
counted out in 1876 by fraud counts for
little or nothing in his favor now. That
Mr.. Tilden was a great man is not denied,
and his failure to prove equal to the emer-
gency Of 1876 can only be accounted for by
his physical weakness and the consequent
impairment of his mental powers. He
appears to realize his condition, and hence
the persistency with which he has of late
refused to enter on political discussions,
even with friendly visitors. The news
papers and politicians ought to let the Old
gentleman alone.

The Outrage shriekers Harmless.

The Outrage Shriekers Harmless.
over $3S,OOO,OO0 was invested in facto-
ries and mines in the South during the
months Of January and February of the
present year. The Manufacturers Record
of Baltimore makes this statement, and
names the States and the localities in
which theInyestments were made. Where
did this vast sum come from? Some of IL
represents the earnings of Southern in
dustries, but the greater part Of it came
from the North. The country is just
beginning to realize the extent to which
Northern capital is being invested in the
South. There is no reason why the next
two months should not show still larger
investments. The banks of New York
and other Northern cities contain millions
Of dollars of unemployed capital. The
owners OF it are eagerly watching for
opportunities to invest it. Bonds which
pay a good interest command too high
premium and just now there isn't much
confidence in stocks. Until within the
last few years the bloody shirt stories of
the Republican party organs kept North
ern capital out of the South. Capitalists
were afraid to invest where they were led
to believe there was such an unsettled
condition of society. They have at last
discovered that they were misled and mis-
taken. 1t is true that John sherman and
Mr. Malone are doing what they can to
continue the impression that lawlessness
prevails to a marked extent in the South,
but they are not meeting with much
success. Northern men have visited
the South, and have satisfied
themselves that their property is
Just as safe in u Southern as in a North
ern State. Bloody shirt stories will have
no further influence on them. They see
that there is as much respect for law and
order in the South as in any other section,
and they are showing their faith in the
future of the South by putting their money
into Southern enterprises. The outrage
shriekers may howl themselves hoarse,
and papers like the Chicago Tribune may
fill its pages with attacks on Southern
loyalty, but these things will not avail to
keep Northern cash away from the South.
As the South's mineral wealth begins to
be comprehended, and her advantages tor
manufacturing become more fully under
stood, the millions from the North will
flow towards her in a constantly increas-
ing volume.

How Crockett County Bigamist Was
Captured.

How a Crockett County BiEamist Was
Captured.
Monday afternoon Sheriff Booth, of
Crockett county, arrived in Brownsville
in search of one Tom Crawford, famous
bigamist, who was wanted by the author
tiles of that county, says the Brownsville,
Tenn, States. 1t had become known TO
him that Crawford was in Haywood coun-
ty going under an assumed name, and he
came over to look him up. The Sheriff
stated that Crawford had i've wives resi-
ding in Crockett county, where he had
lived for many years, and indictments for
bigamy were held against him. Craw-
ford's whereabouts were discovered to be
somewhere in the neighbOrhoOd of the
Brownsville Landing, where he had taken
up his quarters at a staye camp.
At twilight, Monday evening, Sheriff
Booth, accompanied by Sheriff Mathews,
started toward the river in search of
Crawford. After riding several miles
through the dark woods and over fields
and muddy bottoms, they were informed
that Crawford was spending the night at
the cabin of Doc Van Buren,, on Mr.. p.
II. Mann's place. They arrived at the
lonely cabin away down in the deep
woods of Hatchie bottom at midnight.
The cablni is a rude double lOg-hOuse, with
two rooms and stack chimney. When
the officers entered the west room, Craw-
ford heard them and dashed up the Chin
ney, but, unfortunately, left his feet hang
ing down in full view of his pursuers.
He was pulled out, black as the ace of
spades, and reluctantly surrendered. He
was brought to this city and Tuesday
taken back to Crockett county.
Crawford is over fifty years of age,
heavy built, with a repulsive counte-
nance, and it is somewhat surprising how
he succeeded in winning the hearts and
blighting the hopes Of so many fair
Crockett county lasses.

Ridicule Cure for Hydrophobia.


A. Zeter, a milk dealer, owns large
and valuable Newfoundland dog. Last
Wednesday the animal sprang upon him
and slightly scratched the little finger OF
his left hand with its teeth. There has
been considerable talk in the neighbOT-
hood regarding the recent deaths caused
by hydrOphobia. The matter was talked
about in Zeter's family. Sunday
the man became alarmed. He i'm
agined that he was becoming rabid.
DR.. GOOdall was sent for. He
cautorized the wound and took a look at
the dog. The animal showed no aversion
to water as a beverage. He objected, how
ever, when large quantity of water was
poured on his back. DIR. GoOdall came to
the conclusion that the bite itself was not
dangerous. He was afraid that Zeter
could work himselfinto frenzy in case
he was no. convinced that the dog was
not mad. The doctor consequently prv-
scribed large does of ridicule for the pa
tient whenever he suggested that the dog
was mad. The neighbors and family of
the milk-dealer supplied the Doctors pre-
scription. Zeter is now recovering.

Through Europe and the States in
Search of Truant Spouse.
For the past six years Mrs. Leopold
Klarburg, a comedy Jewess Of -, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, has been looking for
her husband. Ten years ago she was mar
ried in Vienna, and after two months Of
married life she was deserted by Leopold
Klarburg. who is now supposed to be in
Cincinnati. Mrs. Klarburg has travelled
in various parts Of Europe but failed to
find her missing husband. On learning
that he was in Minneapolis, Mimi, she
sailed for the United States, four months
ago, but upon arriving at MINNEAPOLIS
Klarburg had fed. At the latter city he
went under the name of Louis Mabel.
Here, it is said, he obtained a quantity of
dry goods under false pretenses and, fear
ing arrest, skipped the town. From this
point Mrs. Klarburg went to St. Louis.
She laid her case before the chief of po-
lice, but no trace of her husband was OBJ
tanned. After spending several weeks in
st. Louis she came to Cincinnati, where
she was told her husband surely was, and
that he W.. E-c|n as Louis Grollish, and
earned livelihood by peddling dry goods.
The deserted wife called on the superin-
tendent of police and left a description of
klarburg. Steps viii be taken to find him
If in the city, but the probabilities are
that the lady has been misinfOrmed as to
his whereabouts.
Mrs. Klarburg is now without means
and can 90 no further. She was provided
with a temporary home in a Jewish fami-
" at No. 800 West Sixth street. where she
was seen yesterday by an ERqUireEre
porter. To him she stated that klarburg
deserted her two months after they were
married, taking with him several hundred
dollars Of her money. When asked why
she was so anxious to find him. she said
her only object was to induce him to re-
turn to her home in Vienna, where she
would obtain a divorce from him. Her
parents are very religious, and in order to
obtain the divorce, which is granted by
the rabbi, the husband must be present.
AS far as he is concerned she cares moth
ing for him, and wishes to be separated,
but only in the manner that is customary
with her religion. She will not apply for
divorce in any other way, and if her
husband is not found she will return to
! her home in Vienna, where she has a nine
( year old child being taken care of by her
parents. She will probably be provided
/ with means to sail, as several gentlemen
I are interested in her welfare. The lady
/ also told the reporter that her husband
/ was gambler and vagabOnd, and the
short time they lived together he neg
( Iected to make any provision for her.

PaYne and BLAZING.

1t is fact worthy Of notice that several
of those who are very prominently nseu-
toned in connection with the Presidency
announce tI,~e tney are not and will not
- candidates. One of those mentioned
is Henry B. Payne, of Ohio, who, in the
estimation of his admirers, is pretty GER
tain to receive the Democratic nomina
ton. Another is James q. Blaine. the
most prominent Republican in the coun-
try. Payne is a very old man, and, per-
haps, fears that the worry of a great
campaign would seriously impair his
health. Notwithstanding his desire to
be let alone, however, his Ohio
friends persist in dragging him to
the front, and in discussing his merits.
1t may be that these efforts are in har-
mony with his wishes, and that he hest
tates to announce himself a candidate
because the prospect of success is not yet
very promising. If it appears later on
that he is not as strong a candidate as his
friends believed, he will be in a position to
say that at no time was he a candidate.
Nobody seems to know whether Blaine is
playing a shrewd game or whether he is
sincere in declaring that he is not in the
Presidential race. The more he holds
back the more clamorous his partisans
become in his behalf. Indeed, so active
are his friends and admirers that many
have been led to believe, from what they
read and hear, that he will he nominated
whether he wants to be or not. Blaine
undoubtedly has strong friends, and he is
certainly the most popular Republican
politician in the country, but it is ques-
ton if he is any nearer a nomination than
he was in 1876 or in 1880. Like some
other great politicians who have figured
in the country's history, he has a strong
following, but not strong enough to
crafty his am bitiOn.

CoIored Conventions.

There have been several colOred con-
Ventions within the last few months, and
quite number are announced to take
place before the meeting of the Chic ago
conventions. 1t is noticed, particularly
in Washington, that very earnest efforts
are being made by the colored leaders to
get the colored voters OF the North organ
lied and under control. This, of course,
means that they propose to make de-
mands of some kind as con-
ditiOn of their support. 1t is
stated that the negroes hold the
balance Of power in three or four of the
Northern States. If this statement is true
they are in a position to force a eOmph-
ance with their demands. They no longer
feel a strong attachment for the Republic
can party, and they will not, therefore,
act with it unless it appears to be for
their interest TO do so. The colored lead
ers seem to think the time has come tor
the colored people to look out for them
selves, and it would not be surprising if
the negroes IN the North in the coming
contest should assume a position that
would startle the Republican party.

A MYSTERY SOLVED.
How Freight Cars Were Robbed Be-
tween Little Rock aad Texarkana.

hOW EIolgnt Cafe were hODDeO BE-
tween Little Rock aad Texarkana.
Detective Furlong retErned yesterday
from the South, says the st. Louis RepVb-
tscdn OF the 9th inst, and reports an ar
rest which, he says, solves a mystery that
puzzled him for a long time. Several
weeks ago popularity was noticed in
the condition of merchandise sens from
st. Louis and passing over the Iron
Mountain Railroad between Little Book
and TeEarkana. Freight cars reaching
the latteTpoint appeared to be duly sealed,
and yet when they were opened the con-
tents were found in a state of disorder,
cases and packages were open and goods
were missing. The man who inspected
the seals on the car doors found them all
night and appearing not to have been dis
tarbed after shey were first put on. As
the goods were shipped from St. Louis and
the seals were placed on the doors here,
it was supposed that the thefts must have
been committed here before the cars were
sealed. Mr.. FurlOng had detectives sta
toned at the platforms Of the freight de-
pot, and the most careful surveillance
showed that when the merchandise was
shipped it was in good condition; and was
not ta4pered with before the car doors
were sealed. Yet it continued to arrive
at TeXarkana in the condition mentioned.
The seals apparently had not been broken
but goods were missing. 1t was deter
mined, therefore, to investigate the mys-
terry at another point, and detectives we're
put on the branch road between Little
Rock and TeXarkana. The result was
satisfactory. One day last week lot Of
stolen boots and shoes were found in the
cahOose car of freighss train on this
branch, and two brakemen. Fred WILEY
and Joe Prince. were arrested for the
theft. The mystery was now explained.
They had provided themselves with but
tOn-hOOk. the hook end of which had
been Strengthened and filed down until it
was as sharp as a small awl This they
inserted in one OF the holes in the seal
through which one of the wires passed,
the hole was enlarged, the seal slipped OFF
and entrance to the car was an easy mat
ter. After helping themselves TO such
goods as they desired, the car was closed
and the seal was slipped back on the wire.
Two small pieces of soft wood, one Of
which was placed on either side Of the
seal, were then brought into reqiiisitiOn,
and with the aid Of a pair of pincers the
seal was pressed against the vine so that
it looked as if it had never been tempered
with. Mr.. FurlOng says that these thefts
had been carried on for a number of
weeks and a large amount of goods had
been sold in Little Rock. Wyley and
Price were held in bond for the grand
jury.

Facts About the Methodist Church
SOnfh.

South.
This being the centennial year of the
organization of the Methodist Church in
this country the Methodist Church South
is publishing some very interesting in
formation respecting the growth, wealth
and present condition OF this branch of
the church. This work is under the direc-
ton of Rev. w. p. Harrison. He
shows that during the past year
the membership of the Southern
branch of the Methodist Church
has increased &c, $40, making a total men,
bership of 904, PAS. This increase is at the
rate OF 3.07 per cent per annum, which is
over per cent. greater than the increase
in the population in the Southern States.
The increase in the number d Sunday
school scholars last year was 26,5OS,
which is certainly very encouraging. The
amount collected for missions last
year was $227.640 5S-a gain of
$19,SS1 81 over the previous year. For
worn out travelling preachers and for
widows and orphans of preachers there
was collected last year SST, JAG OF, gain
of s., 713 -. Mr.. Harrison says that it is
a well authenticated fact that Methodism
flourishes more vigorously in the South
than in any other section of the country.
During the present year it will be
shown that MethodIsm was first planted
in the South, and the first Methodist
Church in this country was built at Straw
bridge, Nd. At the organization of the
Methodist Church in this country, one
hundred years ago, three-fourths of the
members, Mr.. Harrison says, were in the
South. Since the close of the war the in
crease in membership of the MethO-
dist Church South has been over
00,000-that is, it has very
nearly doubled in eighteen years.
Doubtless this viii be a great year in the
history of the church North and South.
The church will pour out its wealth for
various purposes, and its extra charity
and generosity will strengthen it and
make it more prosperous.

An astonishing assertion was made by
a physician i'll Boston the other day in an
investigation in reference to gas poison
ing cases of which he had treated. He
stated that he bled his patients, then oXy-
genized the blood, and purified it in the
air, filling up the veins temporarily with
salt and water, so that the action of the
heart would continue, and afterwards put
the blood back again, when the patient
would soon entirely recover. That doc
tor would hardly be willing to have his
own blood purified in that manner.
