abraded by our differences Of opinion
in politics, nor can the discussion of
POLITICAL questions disturb the deli
cate relation. The red rose and the
white rose bloom together and shed
their odors upon the same atmos-
phere, and, gently struggling for su-
premacy, glorify the twilight hours.
My brother represents the red rose
and represent the white. Our polit-
ical histories vary in this that in my
bndhOod / was transplanted by tender
and loving hands into the sweet gar
dens of pure Democracy; while he,
like the last rose of summer, was left
blooming alone.
Full many gem Of purest ray serene
The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear;
Full many flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on thedesert air
."But, fellow citizens, when you
shall have all taken a smell, and then
taken your choice of blossoms, the red
rose will have the happy consolation
that he 10 the brother OF the Governor"
1t seems likely that this win be AL
fred's sole consolation on the morn Of
the Wednesday after the first Monday
in November; He will be able to boast
that he is the brother of a Governor
whom he has treated and who has
treated him in most fraternal and
magnanimous fashion; and the old
Gentleman Taylor, Prohibitionist, will
have reason to be proud Of both of his
sons.

Prof. Cook lately wrote Having
studied man and his relations fifty
years, and having read DR., E. B.
Foote'S Plain Home Talk / say,
disinterestedly and emphatically, that
it is worth its weight in gold: nay,
gold cannot measure its value to hui
manity. 1t is such a book as only
such healthy, well-balanced mag
nificent brain can produce. DR.. Foote
is one OF the few doctors who, in his
writings and practice, seeks to cure,
not kill ; to save, prolong life, not op-
struct, poison or destroy it; to teach
people the structure, functions, facts
forces and relations of the human
brain and body, teach them the sig
nifcance Of life and how to make il
healthy and happy also how to make
the most of it.

The Cup Kept.

New YORK, Sept. 11.-To-day,s

stay for at least another year. tire

sloop Mayfower. When she finished
this evening at 6 hours, minute, 40
seconds, the Galatea was nearly two
miles astern. The course was twenty
miles to leeward and return from
Scotland lightship. The race was
sailed in a breeze that blew fresh from
the northwest for three hours, then
canting three points to the westward,
in fell light, the last hours Of the con-
test being little better than a drift.
The Mayhower had only s minutes 20
seconds to square when she crossed
the finish line, as the time limit of the
race was seven hours. The Galatea
was defeated on every point OF sailing
by the Mayhower. In the run out to
the outer mark, with spinnakers set
she was beaten 13 minutes As seconds
and in the windward work overhauled
an hour. There is great rejoicing
among the yachtsmen here tonight
while the Bostonians are fairly wild

Earthquakes have hitherto confn-
ed themselves for the most part to
countries of which the inhabitants
have not been celebrated for marked
inventive ingenuity. But when aeis-
mic convulsions begin to tamper with
the United States they will find that
Yankee genius will rise to the occa-
sion. Already the Geological Survey
at Washington is in receipt Of twenty
or thirty suggestions as to the preven-
ton o. earthquakes. One seemingly
practical device is broached by mas
ter mind who thinks holes bored in
the earth would give an outlet to de-
stuctive gases. Perhaps the genius
who has made the aboue suggestion
will take the contract to bore few
of the holes and throw up a volcano
here and three. He could have them
ready for operation abovt the time
De Lesseps canal is finished, and if he
struck oil in the operation he might
consider himself lucky.

The purposed marriage of Miss
Edith Kingdom, of Mr.. Daly's compa-
ny, and Mr.. George ]. Gould was pret-
ty cleyerly veiled until its actual oc-
currence. The nuptials were in fact

house at Irvington, and the society"
scribers who were baked of their will
before the event will doubles revenge
themselves by profuse outpouring af-
ter it. Let us hope that the cheap de-
vice of treating the marriage as one OF
condescension on the groom's part
will at least not be found among
them. What the men of title and
distinction could afford to do who

ed hers, no one certainly will have
any right to complain.--N. Y. Herard

Il Love Yon.

There are three Words Of magic power,
With love and joyance laden;
Ever remembered is the hour
When FIRST the happy maiden
Hears from the lips she loves the best
Those words so sweet and true,
That open the gates of Paradise
The sweet words, 81 love you"
And If it be under the shady trees,
Beneath the summer skies,
Or If it be where the ocean waves
Interested billows rise,
Or under the light OF autumn stars,
Or out in the morning dew,
That time is blest when first we hear
Those sweet words 81 love YOU"
And sacred In our inmost hearts
We keep that memory still,
Though life's earnest realities
Our lives with duties fill;
Sometimes amid our labors;
0rwhen the task is through,
We SEE again that place and hear
Those sweet words II love you"
They never lost their magic power
Amid lifes fret and care;
And sometimes when our burdens
Seem all too great to bear
Like oil on troubled waters
They viii our strength renew,
When loved ones softly whisper
Those sweet words, II love YOU"
II love you"--words OF magic
That make life's burdens light:
81 love you"--words of blessing
That make life's darkness light;
"llove vou"--words Of promise
So strong and sweet and true,
That open the gate to Paradise
Those sweet words, II love YOU"

In Justice 10 Aired.

When contrasting the qualifications
of Bob Taylor and ALI to be Governor
Of Tennessee, we have assumed that
Alf, the Republican candidate, plays
upon no musical instrument. He
may scrape the violin, but he cannot
fiddle. We believe that he cannot
play the cornet, the trombone, the ac-
Gordon, or even the jewsharp or the
bones.
Our assumption is based upon a
careful comparison of the reported
speeches of Robert and Alfred. Crit
ically considered, these speeches tell
the whole story. Bob's oratory sounds
like the Carnival of Venice played by
Paganini. Alfred's sounds like the
persistent whirr of the buzz saw, steady,
useful, penetrating, significant of the
cleaving of tough fibres of facts and
statistics, but utterly destitute of mu-
steal quality. We cannot conceive
that Alfred ever sang or whistled. We
are firmly convinced that when old
man Taylor walloped Bob for juvenile
indiscretions, the young scamp howl
ed in melody that would have charm
ed Saint Cecilia.
Nevertheless, we do not wish to in
ject the least bitterness, the least ap-
pearance of even unintentional mis-
representation, into canvass distin-
guished by so perfect spirit of frater-
nal magnanimity. For that reason it
is our duty to record the fact that in
a campaign song now employed in
Tennessee in the interest of Bob and
at Bob's mass meetings, rallies, and
barbecues it is distinctly conceded
that Alf plays the accordion. Such is
the case, if we do not misunderstood
the subjoined verses, which are sung
to the air of Old Tippecanoe;
1.-THE East comes from over the mountains
With radiant cheeks all aglow;
Her rivers, her rills, and her fountains
Are singing Young Rosin de Bow.
''Then look out for Bob and his fiddle
To lay the accordion low
The East and the West and the Middle
Are shouting Young Rosin de Bow.
100 long have the fathers kept from us
Aught else but the shovel and hoe;
The Bow Of Old Tennessee's promise
Belongs to YoungIRosin de Bow,
"our High Daddy day is a-dawning,
And Billy in Low Grounds will go,
: TO give the old fogies warning:
Look out for Young Rosin de Bow.
"And old Granny Rattletrap' rattles
At sluggards to get up and go;
The youngsters are fighting the battles
Let forth by Young Rosn de Bow.
LET 'Davy Rack Back at the meeting,
BY Cumberland's murmurous flow;
Send on to the Westward greeting
, To welcome Young Rosin de bow
'"Then look ont for Bob and his fiddle
To lay the accordion low;
= The East and the West and the Middle
I All shout for Young Rosin de Bow"
This may be mere figure of speech
this Identification of Alfred with al
instrument of alleged music so direful
: so dismal, so distasteful to all tru,
mountaineers of Tennessee as the &C
a
Gordon is and always must be whil
q the fiddle remains King. It may evel
: be campaign slander, put in circula
e ton by Bob's too Jealous friends, an,
> for which Bob cannot be held respon
: sible. But if Alfred does in fact pla,
n the accordion, in our judgment tn
l. result of the canvass is a foregone cor
II clusion.
