4 KISS BY MOONLIGHT.

From time immemorial, no one win pre-.
tend to deny the fact that kisses have been
held in high repute by both sexes-whethei
active or passive. It has been decided thai
a LEGAL KISS implies ACTION on both
parties; when a lady simply consents to be
kissed without sction OF her lips, itsconsti-
tutes only a PASSIVE kiss-a sweet de-
prived Of its nectar.
Snugly ensconced within a moss-embow-
cred and vine-clad verandah, and almost
hid from view amid sweet-scented honey
suckies, was seated q fair Atlanta nymph.
whose beautiful dark eyes, alabaster COM
plexion and voluptuous contour seemed to
DAZE the young gent by her side, who ever
and anon, while circumnavigating her slen-
der waist, gave her BUSS and then a RE-
BUSS to the amazement ofa pedestrian who
happened to be passing that beautiful moon
light night. At that moment the lover was
heard to ask an y dear darling Sarah Jane,
you are becoming more beautiful every day
your eyes sparkle with more brilliancy, your
once pale cheeks have been painted by the
roseate hues OF nature and you seem to have
entirely regained your health. VIII you
tell me the cause OF the change ?"
"I have simply used that wonderfully ef-
fective blood remedy known as B. B. B."

SENATOR HOWELL E. JACKSON

SENATOR HOWELL E. JACKSON pro-
poses that we lay aside the old issues
that have disrupted Democracy and
present solid front to the enemy
In this he is opposed by the American,
a paper that poses as the party organ
and pretends to have nothing but the
good of the party at heart. The Amer
lean has really nothing at heart but
the pet projects OF Mr.. Vertrees and is
willing that the party go to the demni-
ton bow vows if it can't carry those
projects. 1t really looks as if the Amer
lean was trying to disrupt the Democ-
racy. 1t throws out every bone of con-
tention it can discover and keeps.up a
most acrimonious war on all who
don't agree with it on these minor ISIS
nos

The CHRONICLE tried to learn some
thing definite from the alledged pro-
jectors of the ST. Louis, Paducah and
Nashville railroad concerning that en-
terprise, but without success. We
find the following in recent number
of the Paducah News:
A gentleman from Metropolis in
forms us that Mr.. w. NJ. Jackson oil
the Carbondale and Paducah railroad
had paid all his bills for the current
month, and was staving ahead with his
road. We are also informed that ia
vorable news had been heard from
Mr.. Towle of the Chicago, Paducah
and Nashville road, who is now in
New York comforting with the capt.
alsts. Just what was the character oil
the news our informant could not say
but it was sufficient to raise the hopes
of the Metropolis people who have put
more faith in the road than any other.
Per contra, the Vienna (Ill) Times
says: "The engineers of the Condo
road have quit, brought in their sup
plies and pawned them for enough to
60 home on"

Col. Tom NEAL of the Dyersburg
Gazette says they have great many
babies in the town where he lives and
that he had almost lost caste with his
neighbors because no little one had
appeared at his house for some time.
But he claims to have regained his
standing by the recent arrival of
a very pretty girl baby. We are in
formed by private sources that the
little girl has not restored the Colonies
lost prestige with his neighbOrs or
even brought him up to that point OF
self respect he once entertained. He
already has an over plus of girls at his
house and nothing short of a ten
pound boy would have answered the
purpose in the case.

The able editors of those two distin-
guished journals, the GAINESVILLE Chron-
icle and the GAINESVILLE Democrat, are
calling each other kangaroo editor,
dubious headed, spindle-tail, tadpole
contemporary" etc. Such articles. in
which the editors washer-women and
laundry bills are mentioned, are, no
doubt, the result of a prodigiousamount
of mental labor, and their readers
should highly appreciate them.-West
Tennessee Wing.
If the Wing undertakes to act as Gen.
sor, it should do impartial justice. We
didn't call the editor of the Democrat
IA kangaroo. We said the paper was a
Kangaroo concern because the "staf,,'
which ought to be the hind part, is
bigger than the editor, which ought to
be the fore part. The CHRONICLE
don't throw meaningless epithets.
However, the GAINESVILLE editors are all
on good terms personally, and don't
carry shot guns for one another, throw
glasses, ETC., like Jackson editors have
been known to do.

THE Democrat seems to consider it
a whitening sarcasm to allude to us as
"the hired editor" This really don't
disturb us any more than it does to be
called by our proper name. This
editor is hired. We have known
some young men who measured calico
or weighep out sugar who were GEM
ploy ed on a salary" but this editor is
hired for wages. Most all of the big
editors'in the country are in the same
fix. It is in the little country patent
outside that you invariably find some
fellows name set up as "editor and pro-
prieort" The curious point about
this thing is that the editor OF the
Democrat was himself "a hired editor"
while that paper was owned by Mr.. B.
NJ. DeGraflenreid.

When the negro demands the r

When the negro demands the right
to be tried by jury composed in part
of colored men there is no power that
can keep them out of the jury box.
They have never demanded it in Mont
gomery county. When they do it will
beaccorded them. They haze demand
ed their rights on the cars and have
been denied. The Chronicles "let
alone" policy is not good policy to
pursue Just at this time, not by long
jump.-Democrt.
We never heard OF their demanding
their rights on the cars" The Nash
vile American, the Democrat and two
or three other papers have been doing
the demanding" We have heard from
no negroes except those intryiewed by
the American.

A correspondent of the American
says the Union City Advance has not
expressed itself on the one convention
idea. We would like to hear from
the Advance itself before we count il
as favoring that scheme, but agreeing
that we were wrong in CHASING it. on
the other side, there are three more
we can put in its place, viz: The Tren-
ton Herald, The Woodbury. Courier
and Sparta Exposition. We can give
still more if they are needed to prove
that the franklin paper didn't speak
truly when it said the scheme was gen.
orally endorsed by the press.

THERE have been some sensational
dispatches in the papers recently say
ing that there had been a break be-
tween Mr.. Cleveland and the admin
istration because the President didn't
make such appointments in New York
Us the sage of Graystone desired. 1t
seems to us that everybody ought to
have learned by this time that Grover
Cleveland has a head of his own and
is not going to be dictated to by any
one. 1t also seems that Roscoe Conk-
lings' experience ought to have taught
that it don't pay for a politician to
buck against the administration in a
matter of local appointments.

THE POINT AT ISSUE.

The point at issue between the DEM
ocrat and CHRONICLE is this: The
former paper talked for some time
about the ownership and editorship OF
the CHRoSIcLE, protesting to know a
great deal about what led to changes
in the editorship OF this paper. We
proposed that, instead OF harping on
that strain 80 much, it tell the public
what led to similar changes in the
Democrat and who are now its real
owners and editors.
This very fair proposition, calmly
made, seemed to nettle the proiessed
~editor and proprietor" of the Demo
GRAFT, and he has been growing at us,
swearing that ,he is smarter than we
are and indulging in some foolish talk
about our wash bills.
The nearest approach to compli-
ance with the proposition we made,
was the statement that the alleged edi-
tor and proprietor gave some cash and
his notes for the paper, when he was
said to have purchased it, and that it
is now edited by him and his staff.
This really don't tell anything. To
make a complete show up the Demo-
crat should state who holds those notes,
their amount and how they are Sc
cured, and also give the name OF the
editors very able staff
= 1t is no answer TO this to call the ed
itor of the CHRONICLE a tadpole and
insinuate that he don't pay his wash
bills.
Our smart contemporary probably
aspires to be called "a master OF INJECT
i've" but the mere hurting OF mean
ingless epithets will not entitle him to
that distinction any more than the habit
of baying the moon will entitle dog
10 be considered good guard.
We are not insisting that the DEM
ocrat make these disclosures. 1t has
a right to keep the question of its own
ership and editorship a secret if it
chooses to do so. But that paper was
so glib to talk about the supposed Sc
crets OF the CHRONICLE in this regard
we thought it had nothing to hide con-
corning its own affairs.

A KILLING Frost.

SIS. PAUL, MINI, Aug. 24-The Sig
nal Service here has advices which re-
port a killing frost occurred last night
over the greater portion of the North
west territory extending southwark to
the northern part of Minnesota. The
temperature fell to 90 above zero at
st. Vincent just before sunrise this
morning. This is low enough to form
good, stiff ice and to kill vegetation.
The report says the frost is not likely
to extend very far south OF st. Vincent
The lowest temperature reported this
morning was 250 above observation at
Minedoca, Northwest territory. The
air here in ST. Paul is crisp and chilly,
but there was no frost. The visitors
are leaving the lakes in large parties
to-day for the South.

THE American has great deal OF
ridicule and abuse for Sc newspapers
in Tennessee that it supposes don't

great many more that don't now fol-
low the American in all of its vagaries.
If that journal will call a count on
the negro question and the one con-
vention question, it will find that the
papers that oppose it are considerably
in excess of 56. The number that
agree with it are scarcer than hens
teeth, il we may be allowed to make
that hOmely comparison.

Many papers have made the mistake
OF speaking of Fitzhugh Lee as a son
OF Gen. Lee. The error perhaps grew
out of the fact that one of Gen. Lees
SONG was named Fitzhugh, but he was
generally called Roony. The father of
Fitzhugh Lee was Capt. Albert Sidney
Lee, a naval officer who commanded
the post at Drury's Bluff during most
of the war. Capt Lee was quite an
old man and very peculiar man far be-
low his brilliant younger brother in
ability. His son, Fitzhugh, however,
was one of the ablest and most dashing
OF confederate cavalry officers.-Mens-

GERMANY is about to occupy the
Caroline islands which Spain claims as
her own. In consequence the latter
country is getting her back up and
talking very saucy to Herr Bismark.
Two centuries ago a menace from
Spain might have made all Germany
tremble, but the situation is terribly
reversed now.
