A Kiss by Moonlight.
Active, Passive and Le-
gal Kisses.
A Pedestrian Catches the Sound.

From time immemOrial. no one will pre-
tend TO deny the fact that kisses have been
held in high repute by bot seXes-wheth-
err active or passive. 1t has been decided
that Legal Kiss implies Action on both
parties; but when a lady simply consents
To be kissed without action of her lips, it
constitutes only a Passive kiss-a sweet de-
prived of its nectar.
Many long years ago, so says history,
the Spanish Student Victorian became
desperately enamOred with the personal
beauty and fascina ting charms of Pros
perinO, daughter of the king of Naples.
There existed wall, being a line of de-
marka tisn between them, which he dare
not cross; nevertheless, they managed to
exchange sentiments and arrange clandes-
tine meetings. Many times he scaled the
wall in order to steal a kiss from the fair
one while tn pale moOnbeams were play
ing upon her classic features, and one
time while gazing into the depths of her
deep blue Orbs, in raptuous ecstacy he eX-
claimed. "Prosperino, what hast made
thee so beautiful?"
The constant use of Scientific blood
purifier" was her only response.
Snugly en- sconced within a rOse-embOw-
cred and vince-clad vera ndah, and almost

Representative Wade, ni his coun-
ty, spoke stantially as follows, as
we learn from the Times Democrat Of
the 10Th:
"When | stand here looking about
on this marvellous collection of the re-
sources of a wonderful country, when
| see these treasures formed by labor
of hand and brain, | feel proud Of my
country. feel that America in her
infancy stands out with more grandeur
than do the nations of the Old World
in what should be their maturity of
old age. Our common country has
given birth to men of spirit, uniting
energy and zeal, and it is before these
men that the wilderness has opened
up and the deserts have blossomed lit g
gardens. When pass through the
great building which epitomizes the
resources of the world; when enter
this building which holds the wealth
of nation, and when finally stand
in this space devoted to the exhihi ion
of the resources of our own chosen
state, my heart swells with pride as |
remember that | am IA Tennessean.
And who could feel otherwise than
proud when looking around this col
lection of agricultural and mineral
wealth, unexcelled by any country in
the world? After having carefully
examined the exhibit of our state,
and after having made a thorough
comparison of it with other exhibits
in the building, | am convinced that
in the bright galaxy of states here as
sembled Tennessee shines second to
none. Of the resources of the state
we can say that they are as inexhaus.
tible as they are varied. But what
shall | say of her people? They are
part and parcel of the great republic,
and to tell their history would be to
recount the stirring history of our na~
ton. l remember another occasion
upon which party of Tennesseans
came to New Orleans and were ac>
corded hearty welcome, and | reflect
that then, as always, Teunesseans
were on the side of right, liberty aud
victory. But in addition to their 9th
er qualities Tennesseans are most hos.
pitable. and l take this opportunity to
invite all to come within her bounda>
ries to share her benefits and to help
to develop her resources, and to be-
come Tennesseans with us. And now
thank the people of New Orleans
and the managers of this Exposition
for the welcome and the many cour>
tesies extended to u.s."

SATURDAY, MARCH 81, 1885.


While the legislature is considering
the railroad question, let it he remem.
bered that these "sOuless monOpolies"
were the ablest and oest friends of the
panc'stricken people during the yel>
low fever epidemic in 1889, when
they carried medicines, provisions and
nurses free of charge to the sufferers,
and hauled thousands of poor people
away from the infected districts free;
when they ran their trains regularly
every day at a financial loss, and
many of their employees sickened and
died from the exposure. Thousands
more would probably have died in
Memphis if the railroads had not
rallied to their aid. We cannot be-
lieve that the people of Memphis wish
to Cypress the roads, nor do the peo.
pie of any town on the line of either
of the great roads that run through
West Tennessee. Let the Legislature
also remember that the people who
are doing the loudest talking and max
ing the bitterest war on the roads are
those who seldom pay one dollar to a
railroad for either freight or passage
The business men, manufacturers and
other large shippers want more roads
and more competition, and they don't
believe they will get them under the
present commission law. Let it be
promptly repealed.

While reading the evidence in the
Banner libel case, we believed the
jury would probably fail to agree on
verdict; but after reading the judges
charge, we felt pretty sure that the
verdict would be guilty. In fact, the
jury could render no other decision.
The charge amounted to 2 decision il
self. The fine of SOL is evidence that
the jury sympathized with the defend.
ants and put as light a punishment
on them as possible. While the Ban
ner may have been hasty or unfortun-
ate in the wording Of its famous
Tewksbury article, yet we believe the
editors had no personal ill-will to-
ward the state officials who sued them;
yet the court decides that the article
was technically libellous. We are
glad that the warden and physician
came out with clean skirts. We be,
leve they have honestly done their
duty. But the superintendent is left
with stain on him, as he controls all
the prisons, and in some Of them he
had appointed his sons as wardens,
who, it seems, have net complied with
the law. We suppose the legislative
investigating committee will give the
matter full attention in their report.
The Banner people appealed their
case to the supreme court on questions
of law. As the matter is one of vital
interest to the press at large. we hope
that court will soon take it up and
render decision,

In Naples no inhabitant of the town
ever thinks Of paying the cabman his
legal fare. Every one feels that il would
be unjust to compel him to drive from
one end of the town to the other for the
8 pence he has a right to claim, and on
such occasions every one gives him
something extra. But for short drives
the s pence is too much. On summer
afternoons a walk through the streets is
almost intolerable. You have been to
see the museum or the aquarium, lot us
say the walk from either to the neigh
borhood Of san Carlo, where the great
colee-houses are, is short; but il you go
on foot you know you will be exhausted
before you reach your destination. AS
soon as you appear on the public way
half a dozen cabmen offer their services.
You choose the cab you like, say San
