worth, who, while Commissioner of
Patents, took house out at lie Droit
Park, has had his family there ever
since, and has paid little attention to
his home in Cincinnati.
Mr., w. NJ. King, the new chief of
the Seed Division at the Agricultural
Department, seems to be taking hold
Of his work with real vigor. Mr..
King was well known by Commits
sioner Coleman before the appoint
ment was made, and it is said that
he is peculiarly well posted on the
various soils Of the country and the
seeds that will thrive therein. The
difficulty with this Department in
the past, and the reason it has been
brought into disfavOr is because seeds
were not judiciously distributed.
The Department is now sending out
wheat and rye. A new kind of
wheat, which Mr.. King calls the
HoughtOn farm variety, he expects
great deal from. He thinks it is one
of the best ever distributed. He is
sending out new variety Of turnip
seed into the South also. Four varie-
ties of italian wheat have recently
been received at the Department,
which will be distributed to the ex-
pertinent stations.
The reported breach between the
President and Mr.. Tilden has fallen
very fiat. Few persons took any
stock in its truth, and as was very
likely the expectation of its author.
Somebody else will probably take
Mr.. Tilden's place in a day or so as
the "bitterly disappointed and vim
dictive Democrat" and so the good
work will go on until the name of
every prominent Democrat shall
have been dragged in. This is not
very good campaign material, but it
is as valuable as any the Republicans
can now lay their hands on.

establishment of all who knew her the recov.

Although the President and five

The hotel keepers Of summer re-

the fact that Cabinet ministers and
prominent officials of all sorts are

where the scenery is grand and the
thermometer at 70 degrees. AttOr-

PRAISE FROM THE C0UNTRY'S
PRESS.
A Voice From Ohio.

There appears to De a national ri
valry between the newspapers of the
various States as to which can lavish
the most praise on that greatest of
all great shows, Sells Bros Monster
50-Cage Menagerie and Great Four
ring Circus, which will exhibit here
in McMinnville on Monday Sept.
18th. That it has met with universal
approvsl is only too evident from the
fiattering notices everywhere bestow-
ed upon it. Here is what the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, of June 18th, says
of it:
SELLS BROS SHOW.
We have no hesitation in pro-
nOuncing this the best, as well as the
greatest travelling show that has ever
visited us; and this, too, was the ver-
dict of the multitude in attendance
yesterday afternoon and night. The
student of natural history will find
ample scope in investigating the rare
specimens of zoology, and the curious
collection Of birds, reptiles and rari-
ties of the aquagium, including cou-
pie of the largest hippopotami ever
brought to this country, and an i'm
mense tank of sea lions and leOpards.
There is the largest herd of elephants
ever attached to a show, most of them
educated to perform in the ring, and
a rhinoceros weighing five tons.
The performances of the arena are
first-class, the equestrians, male and
female, are certainly unexcelled, and
the gymnasts and acrobats are GER
tainly superior to anything we have
ever seen in that line, producing
many acts of novel and hitherto un.
seen character. The exhibition of a
party of genuine Arabians and Japa.
nese is something new. Indeed, there
are many features in this comprehen.
sive show equally strange to the com.
munity of sight-seers.

ACCORDING to insurance statistics
seventy-fve per cent of the fires in
Tennessee are caused by incendiar-
ism. The number Of fires occasioned
by persons burning their own prop
erty to get the insurance is by no
means small. This is a lamentable
state of affairs, and if we have any
laws against such crimes they should
be more rigidly enforced. If the laws
are not sufficient for protection they
should be made 50. The very fact
that such a state of affair exists here
makes insurance premiums higher in
Tennessee than any State in the
Union.
