Preparing to Welcome Randall.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Dec. 22.-More
interest is beng taken in the approach
ing visit of Mr.. Randall to Nashville
than In any event for wears. and he VIII
be accorded a reception rarely rendered
any public man here. There will be
public reception at the Maxwell house,
speaking at the opera house and bril-
liant entertainment at the Hermitage
club. A thoroughly representative
meeting, largely attended, was held at
the Merchants Exchange to-day to COM
plete suitable arrangements. The meet
ing, as expressed by the chairman, had
no political significance. but was simply
to take steps for the appropriate recog-
milton of one of the foremost American
statesmen. 1t any man should be hon
ored by the people OF the nation, and
particularly those of this section, that
man is Samuel j. Randsll. He hoped
such arrangements would be made as
would do becoming honor 10 one of the
0randest men In America. A commit.
tee of twenty-five, with Col. A. 8. Col
yer as chairman, was appointed TO carry
out the wishes of the meeting.

sir Moses y7OnteGOrc.

Well done, Sir Moses Montefore. !.
1t may now be hoped that we have
heard the last of the opinion that in
modern times no human life has
been proved to reach 100 years.
With the extending term of human
life and the steady improvement in
human habits, life has often seemed
to reach 100 years and more. But
this has not frequently been the
case in persons whose history was
so well known as that of Sir Moses
Monteiore. He was born at Leg
horn on October "a, 1884, whittier
his parents had gone on a business
journey. His birth was duly enter
ed in the books of the Spanish and
Portuguese synagogucs in Bevis
Marks. 1t is a grand thing to live
to 100 years and to be still cheerful
and thankful. 1t is so, in the first
place, for the pleasure of rebuling
such skeptics as SIR George Corn
wall Lewis, and in the second for
the pleasure of giving all men proof
that there is nothing in physiology
to make it impossible for them TO
achieve a century of honorable and
agreeable existence. We do not
wish to magnify mere longevity, or
to make every man believe that by
any amount of thought he can nee
essarilv attain to it. Our study of
longevity leads us to think that it
is generally a constitutional, and
often hereditary, matter. 1t is
more important to live well than to
live long.
'Norloyc thy life, norhstc but what thou livest
Live well ;how lorg or short permit to Heaven
1t is in this spirit, and doubtless
largely because of this spirit, that
Sir Moses has attained TO his l0lst
year. 1t should not be forgotten
that in the last decade of it he ac-
complishcd no less a feat than a
journey the third he had made-to
Palestine. And 1t is only by 50
''living well' that any one is likely
to attain to an enjoyable and UNI
selfish Old age. Living well in the
vulgar sense of the word is one OF
the surest ways of failing of this
achievement. There are few men
whose powers of vitality and whose
integrity of tissue are so exceptional
as to enable them to almost disre-
gard the laws of health; and their
survival to high age often leads
careless observer to wrong conclu-
sions; but there is nothing more
certain than that for jew or Chris
tau-and Sir Moses shows how
much there may be in common be-
tween a good jew and a good Chris
tian-the great secret of longevity
is to 'livc soberly, ri2hteously, and
godly." Iancet.

PrcsidcUf's Message.

At the meeting of the House OF
Congress, last Monday, President
Arthur's message, which was sent to
the House, was the principal feature
of the day. 1t is a plain, business
like and patriotic document, with
the usual routine congratulations on
the foreign relations of this country,
which is agreeable. The finances
are reported in sound and healthy
condition, and recommends the sus.
pension of silver coinage, and the
issuance of silver certificates. The
shipping interests of the country is
alluded to, (by way of a joke, we
suppose,) and provisions for coasts
defenses is recommended. The
civil service, poligamy in Utah, the
preservation of our forests, govern
ment aid for popular education, &C.,
are all referred to and recommend
ations for improvements made.

settlements were few and far between and
these served the purpose as hostelries where
fresh beasts were given us in exchange for
our jaied animals. The journey from
Houlton to Qldtown, then the terminus Of
the railroad, occupied ,Ha days. The change

The October Elections.

Our Democratic friends appear to be
greatly rejoiced over the result in Ohio. In
fact, if we may judge from what they say,
the result in Ohio is far more satisfactory
to them than the result in West Virginia
In Ohio the official figures give Robinson,
(Rep.) for Secretary of State plurality Of
1881, Flickinger, (Rep.) for Member of
the Board of Public Works, l1,4,6, and
Judge johnson, (Rep.1 for Supreme Court
Judge. about 1880 plurality. The net
plurality for Congressman elected BY Re-
puhIieans is ls,4lS. The Republican can
didate for Secretary of State General Rob-
lnson) ran behind his ticket, but the other
nominees have nearly the same plurality
that the party secured in the Congressional
Districts. The falling of in General Rob-
inson's vote is due largely to the fierce on
slaught made upon him by liquor dealers
and to the special efforts made by the Dem
ocrats to increase the vote for the head of
their ticket at the expense Of their other
candidates.
These are the results over which our
Democratic friends are rejoicing. 1t is a
decided victory for Republicans and one
which will be heavily increased in November,
bu, i; was not 10000 majority victory and
it must be that the Democrats are rejoicing
over that fact
On the other hand they are remarkably
silent on the result in West Virginia.
A despatch from the Secretary Of the
Democratic State Committee, dated Oct. Il,
saws:
"Re-assessmeni and the trading Of votes
has cost us seriously. Wilson's majority
will not exceed $500. and is likely to go
