THE NEXT HOUSE OF REPRE-
SENTATENES.
Mr.. Mcpherson Figures Out Majority
of Eorty-O1e for the Democrats.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 11.-Edward
Mcpherson, Secretary of the Republi-
can Congressional committee, says
that from the most authentic informa-
ton that he has been able to secure,
the next House of Representatives
will consist of 1872 Democrats, 141
Republicans, l Greenbacker, Brown,
Of Pennsylvania,) and one Fusionist,
(Weaver, of Iowa. As compared with
the membership of various parties in
the present House this estimate is a
loss of 19 votes to the Democrats, and
four to the Independents, and gain
of % Republicans, and one Fusionist
vote. This classification is subject to
possible change of or votes. The
election of Weaver, of Iowa, Fusionist
with Democratic proclivities is only
inferred from dispatch published
this morning. One or two of the Ten
nessee districts are claimed by the
Republicans, but positive information
has not yet been received about them,
and the fifth Wisconsin district, still
in doubt, is conceded by this estimate
to the Democrats.

reproduced, from the American, Dir.
Wise A. Conper'S address, delivered
before the dairymeu's convention at

business in West Tennessee will apply
equally as well to Middle and East
Tennessee. We are all beginning to
learn something Of the value of grass
in stock growing. Let us all try tn
make two blades Of grass grow this
year where one grew last year. By
doubling every year we may soon have

ain the account given of the pro.
gress and time being made by the

between Bowling Green and Nashville.
seventy>one miles, was made in seven-
ty.three minutes. The time wac cor.
rect, but the distance should have been
