1t is evident to the farmers OF East
Tennessee that they must make some
shift for money crop. Wheat can
be relied upon no longer for that pur-
pose, as the results OF last year prov
ed, and as the outlook at present
indicates, Stock raising is to be en-
couraged though every farmer cannot
raise stock, and nine out Of ten who
do need frequently to raise money
crops. We suggest tobacco, and IT is
our intention to give our reasons in a
series of articles to appear in the TRIB-
uNE. East Tennessee cannot be sur
passed for the excellence OF her to-
bacco product. We need something
now to bring little more money into
circulation, and tobacco is distinctly a
money crop Of an intensive" order.
We shall treat OF the weed until we
get the views of the farmer upon its
merits, and it may be that capitalists
of Knoxville can be induced to en-.
gage iii the erection of extensive to-
bacco factories.-Kno9Uile Tribune.

Until ours, there never has been a
great nation with one language, with

larger than New York, a Yorkshire
man can hardly talk with a man
from Cornwall, while in our country
five thousand miles change not the

Webster. His dictionaries and his
sixty millions Of spelling books have
educated four generations. Only two
men have stood on the New World
whose fame is so sure to last-Colum-
bus, its discoverer, and Washington,
its savior. Webster is. and will be, its
great teacher; and these three make
our trinity Of fame. OF his great Die

BIaIne'. Presidential Nee.

AUGUSTA, Me-, November 20.-Mr.
Stephen B, Elkins, of New York, was
in the city yesterday The ostensible
object of his visit is to confer with Mr..
Blaine in relation to disposing Of the
coal products of the mines belonging
to the Vert Virginia Railroad Com
pany to Eastern companies. Both
gentlemen are members OF the Board
OF Directors of this road. 1t seems
hardly necessary that Mr.. Elkins
should have taken the trouble to have
come away down East to talk over a
matter that has been already acted
upon by the directors and approved Of
by Mr.. Blaine.
The most reasonable supposition is
that his errand is more OF political
than business character. In fact,
politics was the staple topic of conver-
sation this evening at the dinner ta-
ble as well as afterward, when Mr.. El-
kins and ex-Postmaster Manly with
drew with Mr.. Blaine to his cosy IL
brary, where they could talk ever mat
ters in greater privacy. The Presi-
dental possibilities were freely dis.
cussed, and this affords sufficient
grounds for the hypothesis that the
precise mission of the adroit chieftain
of Mr., Blaine's strategic forces at the
Chicago Convention is in reference to
putting Names idol in the race foI
another Presidential nomination
Mr.. Elkins finds Mr. Blaine in excel.
lent health and never in better spirits
| That both are taking an observation
tonight Of the political horison and
calculating what the chances are tc
secure another nomination for the
magnetic statesman" seems altogeth
or too probable to be doubted. Al
least that is the conviction of the po
litical prophets, who also believe :hlia
the job was matured before Mr.. Elkin,
took his departure.

As not infrequently happened when
Wards knavsh deceits were being
practiced most successfully, General
Grant entertained the fellow at his
home one night where q party Of fam
ily friends were assembled. Some Of
the young men present joined in a
social game Of poker, and the General,
not taking part in the game proposed
that, as they were without Chips"
they should use for that purpose coins
that half filled a vase upon his library
mantel. This vase was one Of his
most valued gifts from the Emperor Of
Japan, its unique design combining
displays of gold, silver and copper.
Twas Of rare beauty; its intrinsic
worth was OF consequence. The coins
that it contained we're five and ten
dollar gold pieces. Gen. Grant and
Col. Fred were at this time directors
in number OF railway and other cor
porations where it is the custom to
pay with a gold piece each director
for attendance at meetings. This is
the rule in most corporation known in
Wall street, and the coins which faith
er and son together collected in this
way We're amounting to snug little
income when they proposed to give
them to Mrs. Grant for q fund Of her
own. So, uniformly whenever they
went home from directors meeting
each took into the library the gold
coin and dropped it into the hand
some Japanese vase. Over $500 was
in this improvised bank on that even
ing when Ferdinand Ward, clad III
his hypocrisy, stole in to make one Of
a friendly company.
While the party amused themselves
in the library over their cards Mrs
Grant sat in her rocker in another
room not far off. As soon as the
game was over Ward rushed to her
He had heard the story Of the direct
