Tennessee is not an enemy TO
railroads. Ii she could EXCHANGE a
few hundred demagogue politicians
for a few more miles of railroad she
would gladly do it.--Jackson,
Tenn, Wing.
If the demagogues you have for
sale are to be put up at the public
estimation Of their value, we are
afraid that you haven't enough in
the whole state to pay for the cross
ties for q quarter of mile of track;
but you can get rid of only few
of them at their own estimation Of
their value you can pay off the
state debt and still leave enough to
gridiron the state with rail
roads and possibly have some sur
baltimore Record.

According to the Southern Lum-
herman sawdust is now made TO
produce gas that will cost only
thirty cents per 1000 feet. The
manufacture of this gas has been
tested on a large scale for street
lighting and other purposes. There
are many towns throughout the
southern states where saWduSJ is
abundant, in fact so abundant as TO
present quite a problem as to the
best way of disposing of it, for
which this process would seem well
suited. Sawdust has for q long
time been q nuisance TO saWmill
owners and now that q process has
been invented whereby this useless
substance may be proftably util-
lied we may expect to ace in the
near future many towns and mills
lighted up with this new gas.

Chinese Gordon's career in Egypt,
which has just terminated SO tragic
cally at Khartoum, is thus briefly,
but graphically, recorded in the
course Of an entertaining review of
his life by the Philadelphia Times.
When Mohemet Ali entered upon
the work of annexing the Soudsn
to Egypt, Gordon was finally Sc
lected for the work Of stamping out
the brigandAge of the region since
become so famous,as he had before
been chosen to do = similar work in
China. He was first made govern
or of the provinces of the EQuato-
rial Lakes, and finally governor of
the whole Seudan. He arrived at
Cairo in February, 1874. He was
offered 10000 to maintain his
state, but refused it and accepted
E2,0O0. He went by way of the
Red Sea to Suakim and across the
desert to Berber. He found the re-
gion a chaos of half-savage tribes,
fretting under the oppressive would
be reform administration of Egypt,
as represented by Baker Pasha.
He applied himself with great ensr-
gy, and soon garrisoned eight sta
tons, quarreled with the governor
general Of KhGrtoum, on one or two
occasions came near losing his life
st the hands of the Arabs he had in
his confidence overtrusted, but by
the end of 1875 he had done what
was required of him in the Soudan,
established numerous government
stations, established paying rela-
ton between the Soudaness and
Egypt, routed numerous slave
catchers, and was back in London
again. BY February, 1877, he was
again on his way to the Soudan re-
giOns, and till July, 1879, whom Is
mail abdic&ted and Tewfik was
made Khedive, Gordon continued
his arduous task of civilizing the
country.
From 1879 to 1883 Gordon was
engaged in various positions in In
dia and at the Cape Colony in
Southern Africa, but accomplished
nothing Of any moment, and in Jan
uary of last year he was selected as
British PleniPotentiary to arrange =
peaceful solution Of the new troub-
les in the Soudan, the accounts Of
which are fresh in all mems minds.
He left Charing Cross on the eve
ming of the 18th Of January, 1884.
On the way to the station Lord
Wolseley carried his portmanteau,
Lord Granville got his ticket for
him, and the Duke Of Cambridge
held open the carriage door. His
companion was Colonel Stewart, and
the rest has been told within the
last few days.

A Georgia gentleman is reported
in the Atlanta Constitution as say
ing: 81 can take forty Jersey cat
tie on a good farm and make more
money than any other farmer ever
made with forty negro slaves on the
same land. A man who owns a
herd Of registered Jerseys and a
Georgia farm is richer than a man
who owned the sane number Of
slaves before the war. If every
freed slave in Georgia." said he,
warming with the subject, was re-
placed to-day with a good Jersey,
in ten years Georgia would be rich
or than if the emancipation procla-
nation had never been written.

for if you do the yankees might
take a notion to come down and
free the cows"

 Within the circle of Peletiah Petit. grew's society friends there was silent yet industrious spirit of disintegration steadily at work. Perennial Pulsifer, h av- ing been dropped with the dallest oi "dull thuds" by the capricious lane Bolts, had, of course, been hurriedly, ye' firmly, cut by the Peitigrews and dumped beneath the sluggish waves of oblivion.
 Cupid's own particular niche in the somewhat worn, but still substantial hear, of Jane had been filled by an animated combination of bone, sinew and adipose tissue, one Lieutenant See-su cker, of the Uoited States navy, and attached to the revenue cutter Andrew Johnson" of the Lake marine service. Whenever the An drew Johnson was lying in the thick, black waters of the Chicago river-smeil- ing from Bridgeport to high heaven Lieutenant Seersucker might have been found reposing in the lap of lux1ry at the home of the Bous'.

 Of MT. and Mrs. Vermouth it can only be said that their social position in con, nection with the family of Pettigrew is hard to define. The wealthy wine mer- chant and his wife moved ip peculiarly eccentric orbits, and, ever after the dis closures made by son-in-law Bedspple, remained, in the eyes of Peletiah Petit grew, planets of uncertain magnitude They were in perihe!ion with the Petit grew satellites only, at the outside, once a year, and even then with no formal de- gree of regularity.
 Mrs. Pettierew had said that the ac- tions of Veimouth had been most dis. grace ful-almost unpardonable. Mrs. Vermouth had called the attention of Mrs. Pettigrew to the decidedly Frenchy tangle involving Don Webfoo, and the coryphee, Dimpsy Dorrit. Mrs. Petit grew had hotly retor,ed that Don Web foot was young and thouehtless, whereas Mrs. Vernoutn vas old, thoughtful and married. And, although the entente COT. diale between these two repres ntaiive Chicago families was roughly patched up, it ever after remained weak, shaky and unreliable. Nor was there any oil poured upcn the troubled waters by the advent into the Pettigrew family of son-in-law Billy Bedapple.
