MEMPHIS TO DIE HARD.
RumOrs That the Six Votes Necessary to
Expulsion Can't be Obtained.

Expulsion Can't be Obtained.
ATLANTA, GA, June 5.-The base ball
situation is decidedly mixed. Mr.. Sibley
of Augusta, and Mr.. Sparks of Macon,
two Of the committee to whom the charges
against the Memphis club were referred,
have reported in favor of the expulsion
of Memphis and the election of
Savannah in it's stead. Walter
Brown, of Atlanta, has been
considering the evidence to-day, but has
not yet reported. He may do so to-
morrow. The report of the committee
Will then so before a general meeting Of
the lea que directors. 1t will require the
vote of six clubs of the eight to expel
Memphis, and it is hardly probable that
this vote can be had against Memphis, as
Nashville is understood to be pledged to
stand up to her, and it will require the
solid vote of the other six clubs to exDel
Memphis. Chattanooga will probably
stand by Memphis, and it is said that
Atlanta will also, as her nine denies the
statement that they were badly treated
in Memphis, and speak fayorably of the
reception accorded them.

U. s. Troops at Springer.

Denver, Col, March 1S.-The
Tribune Republicans Springer
special says !: BY order OF Presi-
dent Cleveland Il detachment of the
Tenth Infantry arrived this after
noon and escorted to Las Vegas
for safe keeping the besicged offic-
ers, Lee, Kimberly and Hecken-
baugh, slayers Of the three des-
peradoes, Rogers, Curry and "Red
River Tom," in their attack on the
officers in the jai! Monday last.
While many Of the cowboy aveng-
ers, left town, many renamed, de
termined to aveDge the death OF
their comrades as soon as the otilc-
ers made their appearance. OF
this the latter were advised, hence
the request of the governor for a
military escort out Of town. On
the arrival Of the train the inhabit-
ants hocked to the housetops and
the greatest excitement prevailed,
as it was expected an attack weuld
be made on the soldiers and an at
tempt made to hang the officers.
No demonstration was made, how
ever, and the tram arrived in Las
Vegas this evening Desperate
Curry was the same who killed the
actor. Porter, some years ago at
Marshall, Texas, while the latter
was trying to shield some ladies
from insult.
We doubt the latter part Of the
above dispatch. The optic gives
Curry's name as John, and we do
not believe it is Jim, who runs Il
saloon at San ANTONIO, n. NJ.

EMPLOYEES of railroads through
out the western States are Oh a
strike. They won't work for the
wages offered them, nor permit
othe- to work. Every man has a
right to refuse to labor for less
wages than he considers his ser
vices worth, but when he attempts
TO prevent others from securing la
propositions he becomes a dan.
gerous criminal, and should be
treated as such.

THE ECLIPSE.

The eclipse on Monday attract
ed universal attention and adnira-
ton. Everybody able to stand
upon their feet looked at it through
smoked glass. When the shad ow
of the moon first cast itself upon
the sun the temperature fell and
all without doors was dark and
cool. The eclipse here was but
partial, but grovellng indeed must
have been the m ind which was not
raised up and seriously impressed
with the wonders of Nature, and
not intensified in their faith in the
existence of a Supreme Ruler.
There are elclipses in the lives
Of mortals, which cast dark shad-
ows over hearts, but pass off, leav
ing the bruised ones brighter and
better fitted for the duties devolv-
ing upon them. Every mound in
the cemetery tells Of an eclipsed
heart. Every Grape hound hat or
other article of apparal signifies a
soul dipped in sadness.
Life, viewed retrOspectively, is
like unto the scene of devastating
confagration. Debris and ruin are
scattered in the way. Occasional
ly a flower, sprig or blossom is
visible as the eye looks back over
the dark past, but blocks of hopes
and squares Of joy lie in ashes on
the way. The doting mother has
passed away; the loving father
occupies his place in the tomb !;
the gentle wife or affectionate hus
band has been taken from earth :;
the prattling child is still in death,
and the plaintive eye Of sister or
brother look through the windows
of heaven down upon hearts dark
er than the grave which opened to
receive the embodiment Of their
hopes. There are none exempt.
The heart which a week since was
buoyant with joyousness, to-day
breeds tears of sorrow. Many OF
us who to-day walk proudly erect
upon earth's surface, may week
hence occupy low and narrow
beds, and our requium be sung by
waving trees Of the cemetery. Our
lives shall have been totally eclips-
ed.
In these acrimonious times it is
meet that every mind should con
slider these things. The eclipse OF
Monday was like unto all other
signs provided by Nature and Ma
lures God, intended as reminder
to US OF IA Power which governs the
heavens and the earth, and con.
trolls the destiny OF man. Issues up
on which we permit ourselves to
grow excited, our hearts to we'll up
with envy, prejudice or hate, are
minor ones, and should not be al
lowed to govern us. Kind words,
generous wishes, and liberal, tol
Grant sentiments, should expand
our hearts, and lit us up higher
toward Him in whose image we
were made, and whose precepts we
are taught to follow. Let us draw
our friends closer to us, and for
give our enemies as we expect tC
be forgiven. Let our Joy be tenn
pered with reason, and wher
aflliction fills our cup, let us ac
cept the draught as one prepared
by the Great Physician.

FAVCRITIsM

One would suppose, on reading
the newspapers OF the day, that
the appropriating of the psoplc's
money to other than legitimate
uses, was purely modern polite
al disease, the bare idea of which
would have made the old patriots
who first held seats in Congress
blush with shame. But as neither
lying or stealing are modern vices,
or to be counted as among the
'lost arts" so our forefathers were
not wholly perfect, and it crops out
of history that they knew how to
legislate in the interest of favorites
fully as well as Colgressmen ofthe
present day. AS an instance, a
Washington correspondent OF the
Globe Dsm0erat, speaking of the
late controversy over the appropri-
alton bills in Congress, says that
the tarcical character of much OF
the consideration of appropriation
bills is well illustrated by the story
Of the crypt watchman. When
the lower portion Of the Capitol
was built, there was set apart a
mausoleum for the remains Of
George Washington. The body
lay there for some time until re-
moved to Mt. Vernon. During
the time that the receptacle was
thus used Congress authorized the
of watchman at SO
a day or night, to act as a kind Of
guard. Year after year, when the
appropriation bill was copied from
the preceding one, the crypt
wat:hman was provided for. 1t is
not unlikely that the question was
raised occasionally by some an
ciont Holman that $2.75 was
enough for the work performed, or
possibly some friend OF this official
may have attempted to get an in
crease to 1926 per diem. Nobody
thought OF such a startling innova-
ton as moving to strike cut the
watchman's item. The occupation
Of the crypt was only temporary.
Washington's remains were moved
away, but the watchman kept on
standing guard, pro torma, over
an empty room. lie was one of
these officials not infrequently
found in Government employ who
seldom die and never resign. The
record shows that tor more than
forty years after this appointment
he continued sufficient able-bodied
to sign the pay roll and draw his
So per day. And that is a fair
sample of Legislation on appropria-
ton bills.

The Greatest and Grandest.

The unvarying statement of ev-
cry late visitor to the Worlds Ex-
position at New Orleans iE that
it is the greatest and grandest eX-
position ever held. In magnitude
1t is simply immense while in va
riety Of exhibits and comprehen-
sion of subjects 1t has never been
riyaled The earlier reports, bas-
ed upon It's incomplete ard untin-
ished condition, and influenced by
the eXecrable weather which pre-
vailed for some six weeks after the
opening, did the Exposition great
injury, and will be a source Of re-
gret to many people whom they
deferred from visiting it and who
may not now have the opportunity.
Notwithstanding the difficulties
and disappointments which at
tended the opening and the first
weeks OF the Exposition, and the
serious financial ADVERTISEMENTS
which ensued, the work of com
pleting and perfecting in every
Gle )artment has steadilyprogressed
until now the Exposition is pro-
nounced complete in every detail
and exceeding in magnitude, scope
and interest any exposition ever
held.
When it is recalled that the diff
ferent exhibition buildings cover
ninety acres OF space, and that all
OF this space is utilized by exhibits,
and those Of the richest, rarest and
most perfect of their kind, our
readers can form some idea of the
attractions and interest of the
Worlds Exposition. 1t will,
probably, be the only one of the
kind that the present generation
will have an opportunity Of visit
ing. The financial embarrass-
ments attending the creation of
this Cnow happily relieved by Con
gress), and the mprobability of
any future assistance by Congress
to any similar enterprise, will m-
doubtedly discourage any effort in
this age to establish another.
Hence, the opportunity Of visiting
this ought not be passed.
The United States Commission
crs for the different States in con
junction with the management
have designated different days to
be kept and celebrated as the spec
al State days Of the various States.
Covering these dates the railroad
companies have agreed to make a
specially low excursion rate, lower
than any heretofore given. This
is done for the purpose OF encour-
aging the fullest possible attend
ance.
The rates of accommodation and
entertainment in New Orleans are
said now to be as low and as rea.
sonable as at any prior season, and
as low as in any city af its size in
the country. The weather is now
perfectly charming, and every Wis
itor returning from there expresses
the utmost qualification and de
light at his experiences. Oar
readers should consider well be-
tore they permit this opportunity
to pass away.

GRANT AND DEATH.

man who for many. of the last
twenty-five years has been the fore
most in eur history, and during
several Of them has been acllnoWl-
edged without a peer in Europe.
When the lite of our Union was
threatened he emerged from OBJ
scurrity, and offered his services to
his country through Gov. Yates Of
Illinois. He was without friends
other than private ones, and had
no political influence. Yates ac-
cepted his proffer, and gave him a
regiment, every man composing
which was stranger to him. lie
went forth at the head of his com
mand, and carved out a name
which will never die while this
teraqueous globe exists. AS tho
in accordance with the laws of
gravitation "stars" fell and alight-
ed upon his shoulders. He finally
rose to the position of Command
er-in-chief Of the United States
army, and under his administra-
ton the rebellion was crushed.
The people said, "Wel done
good and faithful servant, come up
higher" and he took his seat in the
Presidential chair, where he sat for
eight years. Then lie took a tour
around the world, and all peoples
did him honor.
Now the great and invincible
victor, Death, has given General
Grant notice to surrender, and the
accounts which come to us agree
that the intrepid warrior acknowl
edges that resistance is useless.
He but begS for time to finish lit
tie incompleted work, after which
he will accompany the grim mes
senger to the "other shore" And
it would seem as though even the
unseen forces were partial to him,
and giving him time to finish his
last volume of the history Of the
war, upon the completion Of which
the Gen. has set his heart. But
disease Is sapping his life's blood,
and he is marked as an early vic
tim for the grave. Soon he will
be laid away with the great ma
iority," and with his remains, will
be buried all the harsh, cruel and
unjust libels which had been hurl-
ed at him while in the flesh.
Unless pOsterity shall read con
temporaneous history they villnot
know that the people OF his day
endeavored to clothe him with
venomous SANDER. Only his acts,
those which cannot be hidden but
will stand forth to all ages with
brilliancy exceeding electric light,
will stand forth, challenging the
admiration OF patriots, and emulat-
ing future generations to adore our
country's institutions while reyer-
ing his memory.
This incident should convey to
every thinking mind amoraI lesson
of wonderful significance. The
man whose name looms up far
above that OF any other on earth,
now sits in the shadow of death,
All his heroic acts, all the prayers
of his family, avail nothing. He
is wanted above. Then "Why
should the spirit of mortal be
proud" Even General Grant
is but an atom. Then what are
we z Lincoln, whom Grant will
surely meet, had the true concep-
tion when he said that the follow
ing were the truest words ever
rendered into poetry:
oh, why should the spirit of mortal bs proud;
Like n swift-leetng meteor, f.st-hying
| clSud,
A fash OF the lightning, a break of the wave,
He pEsseth from life to his rest in the grave.
