Cannon Cuurirr.
The very efficient manner in which
Maj. Richardson presided over the re-
cent State Democratic Convention.
when the delegates, in their excitement
and minority reports, made the meeting
such Il perfect pandcmonium Of disorder
that the permanent chairman, Mr.. Ad-
kins, was compelled by his fechlcncss of
voice to call Maj Richardson to the
chair, conclusivcly proves that the Ma
jor is II man =" born to rule" lclihcra-
tive bodies and has no superior in the
State rs q parliamcntarian.
/ When he rose in the convention rs
chairman, no matter how great was the
disorder, Il few taps of the aavcl and 4
very few commands Of "ordcr, "orlcr,
from him invariably restored the house
to perfect silence, and business was dis
patched rapidly and the speakers treated
with fairness and Justice. Besides be.
ing one Of the very best parliamcnia-
rians Tennessee can boast Of, Maj. Rich
'ardson takes high rank us one of the
most able lawyers of Murtrceshoro, and
one of the most cIcar-hcadcd, influential
citizens Of Rutherford, his native county.
Mai. Richardson is "sound rs n silver
dollar" ON all questions Of political econ,
omy, and especially 50 regarding that Of
the tariff, which is the great question Of
the present campaign,

Although Maj, Richardson is but
young man, he has been elected twic,
to represent his county in the LegisIl

he is highly esteemed as good either

one as Speaker Of the House of Repre-

: his straightforward course Of action an,
ability as II statesman won for him til,
respect and confidence Of all who knew
him.
81 Major Richardson has been success
in every department of life, and w
think that if he is elected to Congress
. from this district he will act in such ,
manner as to reflect honor, bath on him
self and his constituency, as we'll as as

Gas and Electricity.

The introduction of the electric light
has not hurt the gas interest; rather it
has led to an increased consumption of
gas. It has certainly created demand
for more light, and people whose eyes
have been dazzled by the glare of the
electric light use gas more freely and
extravagantly than they ever did before.
There was never more gas consumed
in New York than now, and the same
may be said of all other large cities in
the country. This, in measure, may
be ascribed to the increasing demand
for gas as source of heat as we'll as
light, You can cook better with gas
than with coal and with less trouble
and discomfort Then the gas-engine
is being introduced extensively. Manu=
facturers are months behind with their
orders and running to their full ca
pacity to supply the demand. People
do not know how much light can be
got out of gas. Electric discoveries
have stimulated inventions in gas burn
ers, and there is now at the Manhattan
gas-works, in this city, Siemens
burner that gives light equal to 1000
candles, and there are others which
are of 500-candle power. see no
reason why the Illuminating power of
gas may not be indefinitely increased.
These burners have been recently in
troduced, and the demand for them is
so great in Europe that we can get none
here. By their use gas is cheaper than
electricity of the same Illuminating
power. The electric light has not had
things all its own way, by any means.
1t has been repeatedly beaten by gas on
the continent and in England, mainly
on account of its responsiveness, and
many electric light companies have
collapsed there William Farmer, Gas

A Dakota Editors Sentiments.

Mitchell Republican: The farmers are
now at the most interesting stage of their
years operation. The weather for the
mast month has been all that could be de-
sired for harvest time, rather dry but cool.
The golden grain is generally in the stack
and on many farms already passing through
the threshing machine. From all parts
of this and adjoining counties and indeed
all parts of Dakota come the most salts
factory reports of the yield and the quail
ity of the grain. The harry est of 1884 in
south Dakota is indeed a golden one and
illustrates the marvellous resources OF this
great country. One magnificent crop
after another has made Dakota the mar
vel of this great agricultural west, and
the increase average of this, over former
years with the yield otherwise unsurpass
ed insures continuance OF the demand
for Dakota homes. From all parts of the
country come inquiries Of the character OF
the harvest in Dakota, and already the
fame of Dakota's latest laurels has been
heralded abroad through the newspapers
ofthe territory through private CORES
pondence, and through the statistical
agents OF the government. The present
fall and following spring vii. witpess the
event ofthousands ofnew citizens, brought
hither by the desire for share of the
richest acres on the face of the continent.
To the people who are making homes in
this new land and investing their means in
its development, the harvest for 1884 is a
glorious reward

Love Among the Peaches.

Several years ago gentleman living
in this city bought farm near Wyom-
ing, on the Delaware Railroad, just be-
low Dover He removed thither with
his wife and only child, a daughter
now about 20 years of age, a bright and
accomplished girl. To vary the mono
tony of her simple rustic life she taught
music in the surrounding neighborhood,
A young man dressed like laborer,
but showing evidences of more refined
nature than his external appearance
indicated, applied for and obtained work
from the heroine's father. He was q
well-built, pleasant looking fellow, al
though not handsome, and wore a
bright auburn beard, A mutual affeo-
tion sprung up between the daughter of
the household and the new. hand. A
sharp watch was kept on the maiden,
but in one of her usual rounds among
her pupils her lover took advantage of
the opportunity, proposed, was accept
ed, and the twain went to the nearest
minister, where they were made one.
They returned later in the evening,
confessed, and the newly welded wife
pleaded forgiveness, Her father be-
came very Wroth at her undutltul act
and elected them, with a few articles
belonging to them, from his home, and
told them never to return. They went
to her uncle house, where they stopped
for the night The next morning, with
out any further parley with the indig-
nant father-in-law, they went north on
the first train and did not stop until
thew raached Albany in New York State
To the astonishment of his wife he
here disclosed his true position-the
son of very wealthy parents and him
self possessed of competence in his
own name, He had fled from home
for some folly, but his parents received
their new daughter-ip-law with open
arms, A letter of explanation was sent
to her parents at Wyoming, who were
overjoyed at their daughters good
fortune. - Wilmington Netvs.

Whv He Came to Dakota.

The people who are settling in this tav"
ored spot are not lunatics or land sharks;
but they represent the most enterpr1slng,
energetic elements Of the older states.
They came out to this new country simply
because they wished to better their con-
dition, and having once seen the country
nothing would induce them to return to
their homes. Many of them owned val
uable farms and beautiful homes, but they
sold them and came here. In conversing
with one Of them, the question was asked:
"what induced you to sell your farm IN
Illinois, and leave your home where you
we're doing we'll enough, and come out to
this country" The answer he gave VIII
stand for a large number OF men situated
as he was. He said: ''my farm was too
valuable for me to own. l had too much
money locked up in my land to realize any
thing but small per cent on the invest

He took off his coat as he spoke, and
