How n Printer Made the Best of n Very
Disagrecabie Situation.
Bud Dillon, Nashville printer, in
company with typographical compan-
ion once walked from Nashville to
Memphis. The only remarkable feature
of this incident is that Dillon is known
rs the LATEST man in Tennessee. One
evening, while the two printers, hungry
and tired, were walking along the rail-
road, eagerly Watching for the court
house dome of Milan, Dillon, upon
meeting Il man, asked:
"How far is it to Milan?"
Three miles"
"Thank you."
After walking some distance farther
they met another man.
'.How far is it to Milan?"
"Thrce miles,
They had gone above n mile when
they met another man.
''How far is it to Milan?"
"Threc miles.
Dillon began to get warm. The sci
ence of profanity is one of the learned
branches in which he was thoroughly
proficient, and seating himself on
cross-tie he sworc with great energy and
volume. Arising, he wiped the perspira-
ton from his brow and said:

willing to excuse an ordinary liar, but

FRANCIS SCOTT KEY.
Characteristics of the Talented Author q
the "Star-Spnngled Banner"

Characteristics of the Tnlent ed Author o
the "Stnr-Spnnglcd Banner"
Francis Scott Key, the author of the
"Star-Spangled Banner" was prom
inent citizen of the District of Columbia
when l can first remember it. He be-
longed to an old Maryland family, and
was quite noted lawyer, serving for
years as United States District Attor-
ney. During this period he closed the
haunts of vice at the metropolis, and
there was less crime than before or
afterward. Mr. Keys mind was in
ventive, imaginative and yet logical.
He reasoned with great ingenuity, and.
though his reasoning was not abstruse
nor very profound, it never wanted
vigor, plausibility or effectiveness. He
discrimination of the Judge and jury,
and, though in n high degree poetical,
he seldom or never indulged in the mere
ornaments of imagination or the "daz-
zling fence of argument" In early
life he had devoted himself to
the muses., and threw out from
time to time poetical et1usions which
indicated no common talent. Like all
ardent and imaginative minds he loved
to bathe in the Picrian fountains, and
to rcpose by the waterfalls of Helicon.
The law, however, is inimical to poetry,
or the indulgence of poetical feeling,
and, like Blackstone and Story, he aban-
doned the muses. and devoted himself to
the arid stud, and laborous practice of
the law, which he regarded with rever-
ence as science, and believed, with
Hooker, that, ''her seat was the bosom
of God, her voice the harmony of the
world" His political predictions,
however. did not together forsake
him, and his beautiful lyric, the "Star
Spangled Banner" written in the meri-
dian of life, showed that he could not
wholly abandon his first love. And
yet it will appear strange that, with all
his poctical fervor, his speeches ut the
bar and elsewhere displayed nothing of
Il poet cal temperament, and were dis
tinguishcd only by great SIM
plicity of style, with scarcely any
| attempt at ornament. He believed
that good sense and argument, not
| establishment, at the bar, were the
| pri,scipium cd tors of his good speaking
as well as writing. Mr.. Key died in
January, lSi3, and was buried, with
other members OF his family, in u
picturesque cemetery at Frederick City,
| Maryland. from which can be seen the
Sugarloaf and Catoctin mountains. In
1857 his brothcr-in-law. Chlef-Justice
Taney, published Keys poems in New
York. Tancy says, in his introduction,
speaking of the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner'': "'rhe song Is isbecominga National
one, and will, think, from its great
merit, continue to be so, especially in
Maryland. Like all men, Mr.. Key had
his faults. but they were overshadowc d
by the splcndor OF his virtues. He was
ardent in his attachments, but bitter in
his enmities, benevolent, but prejudiced,
useful as citizen, and alike eminent
for his philanthropy, his political abil-
i.y and his legal talents. ben Perley

ture of deer by q hook and line, writes
to an Atlanta paper of an adventure
with which he met several years ago.
He was fishing in one of the mudholes
near that place one afternoon and had
poor success. Finally, as he was about
to go home in disgust he was startled
by the sudden appearance of three
foot snorting alligator, which swan
rapidly in the fisherman direction, and
seemed bent on making n meal of him.
The piscatorial artist soon regained his
self-posscssion, and with an easy jerk of
his fishing rod sent the hook with its
dainty load within n few inches of tho
saurian's mouth. The reptile seized the
hook and swallowed it. The lone fish
crman then gave quick jerk with the
rod and the alligato, was fast. Thirty

Resolved, That We renew M ale

Resolved, That we especially ap-
prove of those planks of the Republic
can State platform, which protest
against the assaults of the Democratic

cheap labor and foreign competition
with American manufacturers and
workingmen; that we fully believe that
the interests of labor aud capital are,
in the broadcast sense, identical. Any
policy OF act that Injuries the one,
operates necessarily to the prejudice Of
the other, and we protest against the
employ meut of convict labor in compe-
tition with the honest free labor Of the
land. We renew our pledge Of support
to ever, just measure by which organ
lied labor seeks to improve its condi-
ton, and secure its just share i'll the
product OF its cooperation with capi-
tai.
Resolved, That we further approve
of that plank OF the Republican State
platform, which declares that agricul-
ture is the foundation of the nations
wealth, and that our prosperity is de-
pendent upon the success OF u agrl-
cultural interests, and believing that
our households should be protected
against aduleratiJn i'll articles Of food
and that the interests of agriculture,
especially in view of the present depres-
sed condition, deserve to be defended
against destructive competition with
fraudulent substitutes for genuine farm
products, We approve the recent legis-
lation, State and national, restricting
the manufacture and sale of bogus but
