tanned an editorial charging that Blaine
had seduced his present wife in Kentucky
and then fled to Maine, where the young
woman and her father followed him, and
that he married her at the point of shot

he telegraphed Col. Holloway, of the
Times that the statement was maliciously
and UNANIMOUSLY false in every particular.
Political ISLANDERS, he says, he pays no at
tention to, but this, attacking the honor
of his wife and children cannot be sub

the services of lawyers at once and bring
suit against the responsible publisher OF
the Sentinel. Col. Holloway has placed
the matter in the hands of Senator Harri-

Castor Beans q Most Profitable Crop.

The failure of the wheat crop in SO
manv sections, and that Of the corn
crop in others, is directing the attention
of II best farmers towards diversity
ing their crops.
The value of wheat and corr is de-
pendent upon European markets, but
owing to the protection afforded by the
tariff to castor beans there is a con
slant and growing home demand for
this crop at profitable prices. st. Louis
is the chief manufacturing point for
castor oil. and the market price there
now for castor beans is two dollars per
bushel. 1t Is n crop as easily raised as
corn, and is cultivated in n similar man.
aer. Seed beans can be obtained of
anv of the regular seed merchants in
st. Louis. and but one bushel is re-
quired to plant from fifteen to twenty
acres.
The demand for castor beans this
season exceeded the supply furnished
by the last crop, and the prospect is for
high prices the coming season, as we
hear Of contracts now being made at
high fixed prices for the coming crop.
Our farmers would do well to give al
tentiOn to this subject.

GOrdOn'S Frugality.

When the letter of the King of tn,
Belgians reached Gordon, inviting hin
to take charge of the Upper Congo anC
endeavor to extirpate slavery there, the
General was living on the Mount Ot
Olives, studying day by day the topog
raphy of the holy sephulcher. People
may wonder how. having made prepar.
ations for his West African expedition
and being on the point of starting fol
the Congo, he could SO suddenly alter his
plans and set forth for the Nile. The fact
Is that Gordon despiSeS preparations
and dispenSeS with them. When, being
returned to London from Brussels, he
had an interview before departing fol
Egypt with a friend interested in his
mission, a conversation of the following
nature-if not in these precise words
took place:
Have you got your kit ready, Gen
eralg'
al have got what l always have This
nat Is good enough. and so are these
clothes. shall start as l am; my boots
are quite strong"
And how are you off for cash? You
must have some ready money"
"Ah! l forgot it. Yes, l forgot that.
l had to borrow G25. by the by. from
the King of the Belgians, to get over
here. OF course l must pay this, and |
shall want a little more"
How much? Would Fl. 200 or e.
600 do, in notes and billS?'
'.Oh. dear no. A hundred pounds
apiece for myself and Stewart would be
enough. What on earth do we want
more fOr??"
Thus the frugal hero departed. we be-
lleve. with not more than E40O in ready
money, but meeting an old and valued
S~Oudanese acquaintance in Cairo, who
was very poorly off, Gordon could not
resist the claims of ''auld lang syne"-
V when played on the black keys
and left or gave his old African friend
the greater part of his travelling money.
He has always shown asimilar contempt
for that which il the object of so many
lesires. At one time in his cheQuered
life he possessed. we believe, the sum Of
5000, and IN intimate friend pressed
him to place it in safety at proper inter-
,st. Gordon replied that he himself could
take all due care of il. but the sum be-
came reduced to e. 900 by secret char
tiles and benefactions within a year, and
six months after that his friend discov-
cred that only $50 remained of the
original amount. The rest had gone I o

SEWING MACHINES.
Milan aud Gibson.


A thoughtful communication, en-
bodying very plausible argument in
favor of the State controlling the rail
roads, appears in this paper; While
we cannot agree with the writergn his
positions, yet we are willing the public
should have the benefit of his thoughts
on the subject. As the whole ques-
ton is now before the courts, We do
not see that any good can result from
its agitation. There seems to be a
disposition among the people and
with the press of the State to discuss
other matters, and leave this fG the
courts to decide, and we think it is
well. Milan and Gibson Count can
not afford to array themselves gainst
railroads, and we believe tbre Is
a little disposition to do so. Ou won
derful growth and prosperity are at
tributed to these great enterpris, and
we should do all in our power n build
other projected lines throug our
county. We have not yet lot alJ
hope of seeing the completion d the

Tennessee Judges Sustained
State Exchange.

We assume any defense of Judges
Baxter, Key and Hammond's acts en-
tirelY unnecessary, but to show they
have been sustained IN their opinions,
we give below the action of two prom
inent Mississippi Judges upon like
question:
The Legislature of Mississippi
enacted railway law, substantially
the same as the law enacted in Ten
nessee. The railroad applied to the
courts for relief. Judge Hill, in the
case of the Illinois Central Railroad
Company VS.. the Mississippi Railway
Commission, granting the injunction,
closed an able and exhaustive opinion
in the following words:
at will be observed that the Constitu-
lions of Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin, in
which the cases relied upon by defend
ants counsel arose lin the Granger case),
reserved the right to the Legislatures re-
spectively to fix maximum, or regulate
the rate of charges for transportation
within their respective States, which is
not reserved by the Constitution OF this
State"
Chancellor Peyton, in the case of
the Natchez, Jackson & Columbus
Railroad Company vs.. the Mississippi
Railroad Commission, said:
after mature consideration of the
case, have been brought by the cur
rent of authority to the conclusion that
the supervision law is unconstitutional
and void so far as it attempts to inter
fere with or interrupt the rights con-
ferred on corporations by its charter. 1t
is insisted that the Granger cases and
some others establish a different doc
trsne, but upon a careful examination
of these cases, the power to repeal the
charter was reserved to the Legislature,
either by the charters, an existing gen.
eral law, or the Constitution of the
States
What applies to Mississippi will APP
ply with equal force to Tennessee.
Both commission acts were substan-
tally the same. The Constitutions of
the States and charters of the roads
of both States, so far as they relate to
railway legislation, are also the same.

that no more nonsense will be q or

sum of money to these healthy gntle-
men for services not rendered only
to find out that the Legislature )lun-
dered in the enactment of tolish
and unconstitutional law. Tennessee
can't afford to indulge in any luther
hostility toward her railroads, an the
politicians who run contrary to this
sentiment will find their mistake

The Time to Scratch.

This is an age of scratching, and all
honor to those who have the
courage to scratch. The hope
of the republic rests with the
scratchers. Citizens should weigh
both men and measures, and select
the least Objectionable. There are
too many of us who are one thing or
another by tradition. He serves his
party best who serves his country
first" is the motto which every true
American should keep in view.
Search" should be the. watchword,
and, acting thereupon, we should
search for the best men, and for the
principles that are calculated to pro-
mote the general prosperity and hap
piness of the American people.
