Our town greets the promise of
springs approach with much joy
the, few bright days of this week
seem to have infused new life into all,
and we are greeted on every hand
with "a fine day, sir" "spring has
come at last" and other like express
sions, showing that old winters rule
has grown monotonous and that we
are glad to be rid of him. The small
boy goeth forth into the garden to
break clods, and the little girls gath
er up your loose change for picture
cards. The steady old merchant
gathers his rake and proceeds to rake
the leaves from his front yard, and
soon blisters his hands; and then he
wishes spring would come in with a
bound and not necessitate the "con-
founded cleaning up" The young
ladies put their heads together and
discuss the best plans for putting
themselves into new bonnets and
dresses, and call on pa for cash. The
housekeeper frets hersou over house
cleaning, and longs for mess of
greens, and everybody busies himself
with great energy(?) over prepara-
tions for his summers work. So upon
every hand we see evidences of the
return of life to this our little world.
Our college friends are even bestir-
ring themselves to complete their
new building and prepare it for COM
mencement. They are asking aid
from the townsfolks, and getting it,
too. Profs. F. and p. are good solici-
tors, The best way to getrid ofthem
is to give them what they ask. so

sale.
He came here and after looking
around bought six from Mr.. Stubble-
field, one at Tullahoma, two from j.
B. Ritchey, and one from J. G. M.
Ross. Mr.. Woodward LETT Friday
morning we'll pleased with his pur-
chases. He paid liberal prices for
grades, but not more than their worth.
The highest price paid was 800 to
Mr.. Ross for Littey, a three quarter
Jersey heifer, about 20 months old
very fine. Mr.. Woodward saw sew.
eral very fine grades at McMinnville
for which he offered liberal prices, but
the parties refused to take less than
500, which Mr.. Woodward thought
rather high for grades, although he
admitted they were very fine. These
prices may seem little high; but Mr..
Woodward understands his business
and the kind of cattle he wanted
The morning Mr.. Woodward left,
Mr. Ross offered him a profit on the
500 heifer to get her back, but Mr.,
Woodward declined. Woodward e.
Mcclellan have a herd of fine register
ed Jerseys in connection with their
dairy, and are breeding for sale. Those
who have good common COWS, grade

which there are some very fine at this
place.

GladstOne's Old Age.

Early as MIR. Gladstone's career be-
gan, and great as were the offices to
which he speedily attained, he was
close upon his Goth year before he
reached the highest place in the coun-
sells of the queen and the country. Mr..
Pitt was prime minister, as everybody
must be tired of hearing, at 25. No,
doubt political accident, the minglingi
and divisions of parties, the contro-
VERSES at the time, and the character
and pretensions of statesmen already
in the field, had great deal to do
with the almost premature elevation
of Mr.. Pitt, and with the hardness Of
MIR. Gladstone S ascent TO the highest
political post under the crown. But.
allowing for all this, the phenomenon
is in part explained by the shrewd re-
mark of Bacon: "Reposed nature may
do we'll in youth. as it is seen in Au-
gustus Cesar, Cosmus. duke of Flor
ence, CASTOR de Folk, and others. On
the other side heat and vivacity in age
is an excellent composition for BUSH
ness" Pitts was essentially one of
those reposed natures in youth of
which Bacon speaks; while no one.
1rlenO OF IOc, utulcS W I'LL. Oloues WIZ
that cheat and yivacity OF age which
struck Bacon as presenting ''an excel
lent composition for business" They
give impulse and motive to that large
ness of knowledge, that copiousness
of experience, that amplitude OF sur
vey, which should especially charac-
terize the closing term of life spent in
great affairs and with great compan-
ionship, especially when it has been
enabled by lofty studies. Without
this cheat of vivacity" the political
philosophy of age is too likely to re-
solve itself into the wisdom of letting
things Alone" of which Lord Mel
bourne was comparatively harmless
example in England, but which had
more striking illustration just CEN
fury ago in the Maurepas and De
Briennes, who exhibited similar sa-
gacity until they and others had
brought about the French revolution.

THE ADMINISTRATION POLICY.

Is Foreshadotced by DR.. Miller, of Omaha,
Recently in Close Communion Visa the
President.
Chicago dispatch: DIR. George L. Miller, Of
omaha, who was much talked of for postmas-
ter-general and who was offered and declined
the first assistants place, is In the city on his
way home. In talking to a Tribune reporter
relative to the offices, the doctor was inclined
to the belief that the administration would 60
slowly. The heads Of bureaus and other re-
sponsible positions would be changed as rap
idly as consistent with good selections, but in
the clerkships and such minor places there
was no hurry to change. He thought the
choice of Gen. Black as commissioner OF pen
sions gave an idea or the appointments. Men
would be quietly selected aud appointed with
out the help OF intermediary politicians. u
had brief talk with the president, which was
interrupted by a summons home" said the
doctor, lin which spoke of the Importance
OF the small postofiices TO the party in the mi
nority states. From what he said and also
from what he did not say, l inferred that the
changes, except as commissions explreu'
would not be generally made unless the IN
cumbent can be proved TO have neglected. MS

policy are very nearly correct he is, now

The doctor also spoke Of the host Of Office
seekers in Washington, and believed that tne
conflict OF claims for offices would prevent;
for some tire at least, changes which would
otherwise be made much sooner. Where the
claims seemed nearly equal it appeared to De
the policy to go entli IN ectfseo and select

MOberlV-COleman.

On Tuesday was consummated mar
rage, the details Of which are interest
ing, on account of the unusual circum-
stances that cemented q bond already
existing. Several years ago, MIR. John
M. Moberly, a mature business man,
and person of sedate and methodical
life, was smitten by the quiet charms
and modest graces of Miss Mamie +.
Coleman, then mere girl with long
curls of beautiful brown hair. The
friendship formed ripened into the
deepest devotion, and Mr.. Moberly
soon occupied the position of the favor
ed sutton of Miss Coleman. Time rolled
on, and the ardent regard OF the young
people mig 1t never have proved other
than Platonic, had not good fortune
visited them by means Of the Louisiana
State Lottery. In n playful mood, they
agreed to invest three dollars in three
fifths of ticket, Miss Coleman paying
one dollar, with the expectation OF re-
ceiving one-third of the returns. Two
weeks later MIR. Moberly, in whose
name the ticket was made, was startled
at his desk at the Mercer National Bank
by the intelligence that his ticket had
drawn $4,000. He Immediately went
to New Orleans, secured his money,
and, with high sense of honor, sen,
Miss Coleman her portion, 1000
After two months longer of waiting,
the devoted young people determined
to invest in a lottery ticket again; this
time in the lottery of matrimony, in
which we are fully persuaded they will
both draw prizes.
The marriage was celebrated Tues
day last at 1880. at the residence of the
brides father, Mr.. r. E. Coleman,
where most sumptuous feast was
served to the few friends invited to at
tend. The young couple left on the
rs train for Washington, where they
will make their future homo. MIR.
Noberly will engage in the real estate
and claim business with his brother,
Judge VIM. Moberly. The groom is an
able busine man, while the bride is an
amiable AM attractive lady, and they
cannot fail to find success and many
friends in their new home. HdrrodS-

The Uses OF Fans.

Miss Lookabout, in a New York let
ter, tells of new use to which fans
ere put: Did you suppose that clothes
were always for warmth and fans for
GOODNESS? Well, then, you are mis-
taken. Your theory is sound in the
main. but the ball belle now reverses
it. She goes to the gay gatherings of
dancers in the decollete fashion sane
toned by polite usage. 1t is as clear
as can be that her garb has no refer.
ence to warmth. Every draught OF
air threatens her with pneumonia, and
change from the temperature OF
room to that of cooler one menaces
neuralgia or rheumatism. In this
ouandary she has bethought herself of
making her fan a paradox. She en-
nlovs that article of adornment, firta-
ton and refrigeration for still another
purpose. She gets big one, con-
structed of feathers on the outside, or
else a lace affair, which looks as airy
as her own corsage; but the inner sur
face is covered with swans down or
fur. under which is a thick wadding.
Armed with that sort of fan, like
the shield of Joan of Arc, she de-
tends ncr DreuSI tSdiHSI lno val 70 Va
death. If door is opened to let IN
cold air on her while she is engaged
in quadrille, she spreads the fan
closely, and thereby is instantly as
much dressed as though in high
necked gown. If in the circles of the
waltz she has to pass an open window,
the fan is clapped into place. They
are a great comfort during the ball
and opera season, assure you.

What is q Mahdi2

Mahdi, or Mahadi, rs D'Herbelot
spells it, is an ancient title in the Mos
lem world which at first signified SIM
ply director of the faithful. But in
the course of Moslem history, and
especially Moslem history in Africa, it
came to have another Specification re-
lated to an accepted prophecy of Mo-
manned. 1t necessarily refers to the
African part of Arabic history. By
this secondary significance of the word
the Mahadi is a certain ancient leader
come again. His appearance is the
second advent of prophet who
lived in the old days, and who, in all
the meantime, has been with the i'm
mortals. Mohammed, the twelfth
Imam, and the twelfth in descent
from Ali, is the real original. He is
the Mahadi who comes again every
now and then. He was hidden from
the world at an early age and COM
muned only with his disciples through
his lifetime, and finally did not die,
but 'went up" with the fixed inten-
ton of returning to revive the glories
of Moslem. AS in the Christian theory
and even in the history of several
monarchies the legend of prince
who is to return has afforded favorite
pretext for no end of impostors, so it
did in Islam. The most famous of
these in past ages was Abulcassem
Mohammed Ben Abdallah, the found
er of the Fatimite dynasty in Africa.
Mohammed had prophesied that in
300 years the sun would rise in the
west, and as Abulcassem's glory was
in 296 of the Hegira, it was held that
the prophecy referred to him, and
since then the idea of the Mahadi has
commonly had relation to a revival of
of the glories of Islam in that western
world of Moslemism, the provinces of
Africa held by the Arabs.-Neao York

Who are Most Exposed to Pneumonia

1t is notable fact that pneumonia
is not very fatal disease among chill
dren, while it is almost surely fatal
among a certain class of adults. Who
are the easiest victims of this destroy
err? First of all the men who drink.
Old topers are most likely to be at
tackled, and they are always certain to
die as result of the attack. Temper
ance is no where more conspicuously
rewarded than in the immunity from
this dread disease which abstainers
enjoy. Persons whose bodies are
made feverish by improper food and
lack of exercise must be placed next
to the drinkers in the list of those
most exposed to death from pneumo-
MIA. Unless every part of the system
performs its functions regularly and
vigorous circulation is maintained in
the whole body, the result will be the
conditions most favorable to the NAL
ady which destroys nearly one-eighth
of the people who die in this city an
nually. Persons who exhaust them
selves by overwork or excuses Of va
rious kinds are next in the list. Their
condition is not such as to enable them
to resist an attack
1t is evident that people who main
tain vigorous health by proper care of
themselves have little to fear from
pneumonia. but that the exposure of
those who disregard the laws of health
is extreme. The utmosc prudence
should be exercised by the latter class
when they take cold, and thus bring
on an attack which will probably prove
fatal. Pneumonia is as sudden in its
attacks as in it's results, and to take
cold is a very dangerous experience
for the persons here mentioned as pc
culiarly exposed to that malady.-Neao
York Mail and Express.
