A SPEcloUS ARGUMENT.

The American is making desperate
but futile effort to scare people from
the support of the Blair bill by the far
fetched argument that the control of
the fund by the Secretary OF the Inter
Tor means Federal control OF the schools.
1t don't take smart man to see the
fallacy OF this assertion and the fact
that the opponents CT the Blair bill are
compelled to resort to such arguments.
shows how hard up they are for a reason
to sustain their position.
The government proposes to distrib-
ute the fund among the States for a spe-
cific purpose. II Tennessee should be
given IS, 100000 to be used in her pub
lie schools, it wouldn't do to allow her
20 appropriate the money to the dis
charge of the State debt. Somebody
will have to look after the governments
interest in this matter, or the object Of
he bill might lie defeated. This power

The Mikado and Moustaches.

We hope the amateurs who are going
to present the Mikado on the night OF
the 9th will have no such difficulty as
the Sunday Times says those in Mem
phis had to overcome. The following
dialogue is reported by the Times;
Gentleman at the theatre: 'T sup
pose you heard that at one time the
Amateur Association came very near
giving up the presentation Of the
Mikado?'
Lady: mo; do tell me about it,"
Have you noticed the fearful ex-
preston OF 'Nanki Pooh's face ?"
Yes, but l attribute it to Mr.. Riop-
elle's conception Of the part, which is
one OF sentimental melancholy"

Is very properly lodged in the Secretary
Of The Interior. He controls the distri-
button Of the fund but has nothing 70
do with the schools.
This specious argument Is meant to
coniure up the States rights spook and
alright the souls Of timid Bourbons,
Bus the protested mediums that manip.
ulate the ghost are impositors. The
trick they would work is too easily de.
tected to catch the most credulous.

PoLITIcs are getting brisk over in
Kentucky now and they have almost as
many candidates for Governor there
as we have in Tennessee. One OF these
aspirants, Judge Milton Durham, who
wanted to be Governor in order to regu-

tually squelched. Proctor Knott did it
in letter that for ridicule and sarcasm
is second only to the famous Duluth
speech.

JOHN KELLY, the noted leader of
Tammany, quietly passed away at his
home in New York Tuesday afternoon,
after long illness. He was probably
as much abused during his life as any
man who ever figured in American pol
itics, but there was nevertheless much
about him to admire. He was possessed
of great personal force and by COM
handing faction in New York exer-
eised national influence that was felt
for many years.

DIR. j. S. PEMBERTON, OF ATLANTA, GA.
"Some years ago." said the doctor in
conversation, II had most severe at
tack of infammatory rheumatism,
which brought me down upon my bed
and entirely incapacitated me for bust
ness.
''The disease appeared to have lien
on my system, and all | could do did
not dislodge it. Hunnicutt's Rheu-
matte Cure was recommended to me,
and took it. In day after beginning
its use began to improve, and in five
or six days was entirely free from pain
and able to resume my business. be-
lieve what | told Mr.. Hunnicutt at that
time, that his cure is the hest medicine
the world has been offered for rheuma-
tism.
''Some years ago, when | was in the
wholesale drug trade, Zeilin, the "Liver
Regulator man." OF Philadelphia, and
Simmons the Liver Regulator man, I"
OF st. Louis, got into newspaper row
in the South. and finally one Of them
made ME an indirect offer OF s., 900 if |
would say his medicine was the best,
or equally as good, as any upon the
market. could have done so con-
scientiously, but had all the money,
needed and gave him to understand so
in very terse language. In recommend
ing Hunnicutt's Cure l believe | am
benehtting any person suffering with
rheumatism or impure blood, as / know
it is the best formula prepared for those
diseases and back it cheerfully."
DR.. Pemberton is a member of the
Georgia Pharmaceutical Board OF Ex-
aminers, and no man ranks higher in
the South as pharmacist. Hunnicutt's
Rheumatic Cure, manufactured by J.
NJ. Hunnicutt & Co., Atlanta, Ga, cost
but one dollar bottle, and is for sale by
all druggists.

ing clipped from the New Orleans

There was yesterday exhibited ln.he

per, Epinephelus Nigritus. 1t is usu-
ally found associatipg with snappers,
on which 1t feeds, and has often been
caught on line which had just hook
ed snapper. This indeed was the
way the fish caught by Mr.. Osgood
was taken. The fish was u feet long,
6 feet in diameter and weighed 1900
pounds. It was the largest brought to
this city. The writer has seen several
of them caught near Galveston.
