We made a flying trip to the

noticed some crops on the pike sad

ACyprian's Good Fortune.

NASHVILLE, June 6.-James K.
Averill, lawyer, of Temple Court,
New York, arrived here to-day,
went to the Woman's Mission Home
and called for inmate named Nellie
jackson. 1t was developed that the
woman was the wife Of Blazzius M.
Chesebrough, Of New. York, who
died in 1866, and who was known
as the Count Chesebrough, having
purchased an Italian title. He had
two children, one being dead and
the other married and living in
Brooklyn. In 1871 ChesebrOugh' s
brother Charles set up a claim that
the Count died without issue and
got possession of property worth
over 100000, principally real es-
tate in New York state.
Suit will be at once entered to re-
cover Mrs. Chesebrough's dover
interest and that of her daughter.
Mrs. Chesebrough, under the name
of Nellie Jackson, has lived in
Nashville for fifteen years and sew
eral times has been an inmate OF
the Mission Home. One night 8
month ago she stopped and heard
Rev. Samuel Jones preaching
which determined her to become 8
member of the church. Mr.. Averil
says there is not the least doubt
that Mrs. Chesebrough's claim will
be fully established.

How senators zen steries.

Senator Hoar among the solemn
is the most solemn.
AS a reconteur, Mr.. Vance of n.
Carolina takes the lead among his
colleagues. Senator Vest follows, a
good second.
Then comes Mr.. Palmer, of Mich
igan, and Mr.. Jones of Nevada. The
latter is inimitable in his mining
stories.
Senator Bowen, of Colorado, will
tell the most excruciatingly funny
things with the same expressionless
face that he assumes when holding
full hand in a game of poker.
Mr.. Evarts' fame IS q story-teller
is national. In certain directions
he has no superior.
Gen. Hawley is fairly good at
telling a story, but his forte really
consists in singing. You must
have heard him sing THE Two
Grenadiers," or something less sol
emma college song or two after
dinner, when the bottle has gone
its rounds and cigars have been
lighted, to appreciate the Connect
cut senator's genius.

Arthur's Quiet Life.

New York Letter.
Mr. Arthur is leading a quiet life.
Many have been curious to see
whether he would resume hail-fel-
lowship with some of the local poll
ticians with whom he used to be
cronies, for it was well known that
his ofIishness towards them willie in
the white house had angered them.
The upshot of it seems to be that he
has kept up bis close friendship
with the dozen polite and cultured
men out of them and has dropped
the mere heelers, with whom his re-
lations were never anything aside
from the machinery of political
control. He spends some of his
evenings congenially in the Union
League Club, the members of which
stood by him pretty firmly in his
campaign for a denomination; he
goes to the theatres once in while,
always sitting behind the drapery
of a private box, and he has been at
the jerome Park horse races, where
l saw him win $50 one day on
chance risk of ten.

The Mobile Register publishes
an interview with one of its active,
energetic merchants, who ascribes
the duIlness of that city to the fact
that so many of its people take q
gloomy and oppressed view of it.
He was very largely correct. A
man can be talked into the coffin by
constantly telling him how badly he
locks and asking him what is the
matter with him. And the same is
true of a city. A city can be made
a deserted village by going around
with a solemn face and mourning
the lack of enterprise and depres-
sion in business, GAS man think
eth so is he," and it is as true of a
city Gs OF a man. Talk of your
town, believe in it, tell of its advan-
tages, insist on its prosperity, tier
ate and reiterate, and don't admit
for a moment that all is not pros
porous and progressing.-Post.
WASHINGTON, June S.-Gen. Jno.
A. Logan arrived at the capital last
night and his enthusiastic friends
fired a salute of 124 guns this
morning in honor of his victory in
Illinois. This is the initial note of
his boom for the republican nomi-
nation IN 1888. One hundred and
three of the guns were fired from
the Virginia shore, as the commits
SiOnerS refused to allow more than
q guns to be fired in the district.
The governor of Virginia gave a
permit for the 103. Gen. Logan
called upon the president this
morning while the guns were boom
ing and was pleasantly received.
