burning in their very souls the love of
country and liberty came forward 10

cause. Old veterans whose :. siIvery
locks SHOW signs Of dccaying years,
throw their mantle around them, and
step to the front as in days OF youth,
when life and liberty were ut stake.
How proud we do feel when we see
them now, " after the lnpse of so
many many years, still cherish within
their bosom, that patriotism that pride,
and that love Of country, that actuated
them to give up everything, and struggle
for that which they thought their
own.
At eleven O'Clock the beautiful green

humanity. The crowd soon gathered

AN EDITORIAL GUN.
Weuderful Exploits or n Texas Editor
Guo That IL n f.un.


Tyler Texas CourIer.l
Sterrett, the red.headed superintend-
eDt Of the Dallas Times, has bought
or borrowed breech loading shotgun
that shoots six times. II is q half-sster
to the Winchester rifle. The noise
made by this gun when feeding it with
cartridges is similar to that of an alli-
gator chewing on "razor back" a
dilapidated hand-car on the Waxa-
hachie Tap, or friend Sterrett's bazoo in
a club-meetiDg. Last week Sterrett ami
this gun found their way to Henderson
county on a camp-hunt. They were
given large bay mule and one spur to
hunt with. Sterrett and the gun de-
serve much credit for the way in which
they engineered the mule through the
woods with one spur. Sterrett had the
spur on his right foot, and the injuries
on the left leg are remarkably few, con-
sidering that the mule went kind of
catawampused." Sterrett and the
gun were put on stand out Of gun
shot of any one else. AS the dogs and
deer approached Sterrett began to ma
nipulate his gun. The railroad was
only some two miles distant, and
the people in the neighborhoOd
thought that an engine had jumped
the track and right of way and
was out in the woods. Soon six ex-
plosions were heard. Sterrett had
shot All the hounds escaped to camp,
and Sterrett had only wounded one.
Sterrett's fine pair Of hounds were both
unhurt. The one that was hurt didn't
know Sterrett and approached too near.
About six hours afterwards Sterrett
and the gun came into camp. Their
excuse for being so late was that Ster-
rett had TO change the spur from one
foot to the other in order to keep his
course. Sterrett has been hunting
heretofore with horse-pistol, and a
gun is about to get the best of him.
The party stayed on the hunt for sew
eral days, but they could not influence
the hounds to 90 into the woods with
Sterrett and the gun.

during the year 1884 there ,srrived Il
the port Of New York $4,000 immi-
grants. all OF whom were examined by
the Board, and on such examination
l,l44 persons were found to be either
conyicts, lupatics, idiots. or persons
unable to take care Of themselves
without becoming public charges, and
were returned to the countries whence
they came.
Ii is stated at the Treasury Depart
ment that the only significance Of the
recent cancellation Of silver certificates
to the AMOUNT Of about els, 600. 900 lies
in the fact, as shown by experience,
that the certificates Of large denomina-
tons are practically worthless as a cir.
culating medium. The notes destroyed
were $500 and $1,000 certificates. and
it is proposed, in case they shall be re-
CURED, to replace them with sl0. $50.
$50. and sl00 certificates, as the latter
are much better adapted for general cir
culation.

One of the largest mass-meetings ever
held in the county Of Allegheny was
the Democratic meeting held here to-
day. There were several hundred peo-
ple In attendance--a number Of them
from adjoining counties. At an carly
hour in the morning the Democratic
Club Of Coyinrton raised pole eighty
feet high and unfurled to the breeze one
OF the first Democratic banners Of the
campaign. II is q large United States
Gag, with the names Of the Democratic
standard-bearers--Lee, Massey, and
Ayers--in large white letters on one
side, and or the other Jones ana
Hobbs, candidates for the Senate and
House. =,
AT 10 O'Clock the club, under the
command of its chief and County Chair
man James Bowles, one hundred
strong. with a brass band, escorted
General Fitz Lee, Hon. John W. Dan
lei. and Mr.. Hobbs, the candidate 70
represent the counties Of Bath, Ale
chany, and Highland in the House,
from the hotel to the court-green, where
the mass-meetipg was held. Around
the speakers stand were seated hun
bred or more ladies, numbers Of them
with bouquets Of flowers.
The speakers, upon taking their seats
on the stand, were greeted with loud and
prolonged cheers. Mr.. Hobbs was the
FIRST speaker, and was followed by Gem
ersl Lee, who spoke two hours. His
speech was the best that has been de-
livered by him during the canvass, and
produced most excellent effect. Then
followed Daniel. Daniels arraignment
OF Malone, Wise, and Blair was fear
full. He had not spoken more than
half an hour when the rain commenced
to fall. In few minutes the chair
man Of the meeting announced that
Page Morris, who had been speaking
to q small assembly Of Republicans in
the courthouse, had vacated it. The
courthouse was then densely packed
with Democrats. and Daniel resumed
his speech, speaking over two hours.
Some old campaigners who were
present said that he excelled himself,
and during his speech he was frequent
ly interrupted by applause, and when
he asked if the people assembled wonld
vote for Wise, who had denounced the
Democrats Of Virginia as robbers, as
sassins, &C., in preference TO Lee, the
gallant soldier and farmer, with one
voice the answer was: "No! No +!
Hurrah for Lee, Massey, and Ayers :"
At the close of Daniels speech the
band struck up Dixie, and the people
rose to their feet, Daniel leading, giving
three cheers for Fitz Lee, the next
Governor of Virginia. Three cheers
were then given for Daniel.
The Republican meeting was not as
largely attended as Republican meetings
here usually are. The legislative dis
trict elected a Democrat in 1888 to the
House.
Tonight Lee and Daniel spoke to a
large meeting at Clifton Forge.

CHATTANOOGA, September S.-The
talk Of few foolish negroes alarmed
some people last night, and two mill
tsry companies met at their respective
aImories and announced themselves in
readiness TO obey the orders Of the
sheriff. They were not called upon.
An extra force Of police patrolled the
streets. The fears Of negro riot were
groundless, and the military dispersed
at midnight, never having appeared on
the street in company. The negroes of
Chattanooga are very orderly and law
abiding, and the story that they in-
tended rioting did them great injustice.
BY advice of their more intelligent
representatives., great number Of them
did not leave their homes after dark.
The city is unusually quiet, taking into
consideration the presence Of circus,
which is attracting the usual large
crowds. The leaders Of the mob Sun
day night will be arrested and prose-
cuted. The sheriff has secured nearly
all their names.

much has been written since her mar.
rage with the handsome aud gifted
Methodist preacher. Many years ago
this lady went to Denver poor,
hard-working scwing.girl. Her face
was her fortune, for as she bravely
piled her trade she was wooed and won
by one Tiff. miner, and when he
finally died he left her fortune Of
several million dollars. Mrs. lliF was
a devout Methodist, and Denver gossips
tell that Bishop Simpson sent Bishop
Warren to that city on purpose to
marry the millionaire widow. Their
wedding was popular one, every
Methodist in Denver being invited.

URBANA. ILL, September S.-rhere
is much excitement at st. Joseph, in
this county. over three mysterious
deaths which have occurred within a
short time in one famfy-Mr. and Mrs.
Hiram Peabody, prominent and honored
residents; Miss Belle Hasty, daughter
of Robert Hasty, and young woman
Of fine character and pleasant man
ners, who lived with the Pea
body family and was said to be
engaged to young Silas Peabody. Young
Peabody's parents, particularly his
mother, were opposed to his marriage,
owing to Miss Hasty's poor health.
On August I'd Mrs. Peabody died very
suddenly Of what appeared to be neu-
raIgia Of the stomach. On August
18th Mr.. Peabody died with the same
symptoms. On September LIST Miss
Hasiy and young Silas Peabody were
taken with the same symptoms, and the
young lady died, while the young mau
has recovered. Since that time sus-
picion has been awakened, by the al
legged discovery Of package Of rat
poison pinned to an undergarment
which Miss Hasty had laid off just be-
fore her death, that the latter had poi.
soned Mr.. and Mrs. Peabody, with the
hope Of marrying their son, and then
concluded to kill him and herself. On
Sunday clergyman here refused to
preach her funeral sermon.
