MRS. lANCTRY IN HER YOUTH,

Blanche Roosevelt says she met Mrs.
Langtry ON her first coming 10 London. at
dinner. at the late Lord Ranelagt's. She
WAS shy. wore q plain, black silk and one
rose in her hair. which Was nut-brown and
thick: her eyes were fine and her skin fresh
and hardy. but her mouth and her waist
were terrible, both a. big as all outdoors.
She spoke with frightfnl provincial
accent, and every word she uttered
sent the company of into screams
OF laughter. She set TO work

OF her hair TO copper, and brought the tower
from the top of her head to the nape of her
neck, and a fashionable ,lressmaker soon
routed cheap black silks and Jersey-cut gar

that time you would not know her as the
Lily she now is. There is heavy. sensual
lower jaw, pert nose, tower of braid
and puffs, an ill-made dress of homespun,

to carry about with her in the times
when Helen tirted with Paris. and Milo

keeper for Emery 4 CO., had tussle with
a bear the other day. while on his way 10
the lumber camp Of his firm in Elk county.
He was passing through heavy piece of
timber, after leaving the Low Grade railroad
on Benefits branch, when he suddenly met
a bear in his path. Bruin rose on his launches
and acted as if he would like to cultivate
closer acquaintance with the bookkeeper.
Blanchard admits that he was pretty badly
frightened at first, as he had nothing but
pistol in his pocket and scarcely
knew what to do. The path was narrow
and so rocky on either side that he could not
turn ont. The bear sat and watched him
very coolly. Finding this would not do, he
drew his pistol and fired. The shot struck
the bear in the mouth. which greatly en-
ragged it. and it Immediately made for its
assailant. Blanchard says:
Il started to run and had made about two
hundred yards when found the bear was
gaining on me. l faced about and CON-

had the satisfaction of knowing that

There are indications that senatorial

commended by Senator Payne will be
handled without gloves when they come up

BROWNS IRON BITTERS.

We have entered suits in the United
States Courts against the perpetrators of
these frauds, for the protection of our
friends and ourselves; and with eminent
legal counsel and means sufficient to
carry through the suits, we shall obtain
justice, and secure the perfect protection
of all sufferers who need Brown's Iron
Bitters, and are now in danger of having
some spurious article substituted for 1t in
their dire needs.
As a means of Identification of the
Genuine Brown's Iron Bitters, the trade
mark and crossed red lines are printed
on the wrapper of each bottle. This
medicine is the most perfect blood purify
ing compound made. 1t is composed of
the most approved vegetable alternatives
so combined with special preparation
of iron as TO furnish tonic and strength
ening properties, while it removes all
impurities from the blood.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, November r.
There has been some inquiry in refer
ence to the States filancisl condition,
and a reporter Of the Union called on
Comptroller PickaTd last evening to
get some information for the public.
The Comptroller was asked: 81 see
from the papers tina. you have sent
out a circular addressed TO the Trus.
tees Of the several COUNTIES asking
them to make an extraordinary effort
in the collection OF revenus for 1856
during the months Of Novembe, and
December. Stating that il some strenu-
GUS effort is not made in that direction
the State will be placed in an embar-
RAISING attitude January l, 1887. Now,
i desire 10 ask Whist has been done
with the mo1ey ia the Treasury and
what is the cause of this condition OF
affairs" Gin the first place, from all
sources Of revenue we receive
annually $l,300,0O0 The current
expenses Of the STATE in round num-
bsrs are, say, $500 600, and the in or.
est on the pubic debt as funded and
the school fund IS 1901, 900, making
81 600, GOO as the total regular dis burse-
ment. Now, in addition to these iteme,
we have taken up during the past
three years shout 100000 of tax GER
ti6cates for the Iedt mption of the
Bank OF Tennessee money, ard we
have paid about 100000, or near that
amount, in erecting an insane asylum
in Eisi Tennessee snd about $4,000
for the asylum in West Tennessee,
about $4,000 in taking up the Min
eral Home railroad boDds, $4,000 ap-
propriated to the New Orleans Expo
eition, and about $4,000 for codes to
the magistrates. Besides this we have
paid back interest on all the bonds
funded in the past two years to the
amount Of $250,00O, and there have
been some extraordinary appropria-
tons. This accounts for the state
being in the condition today finan-
cially that she lie. | hardly see how
We have got along as well as we have,
but it is true, that we have paid and
are paying everything as it falls due.
We have not borrowed any money
yet, notwithstanding the fact that
the Legislature of 1885 authorized US
to borrow money il necessary, seeing
then that perhaps the State would
probably be pressed in the payment
OF the interest on the bonds if the
holders contin ued to fund, which
they have done, until now about
$22,000,O00 of the old bonds have
been taken up. la fact, if we had
net made some splendid collections
OF back taxes, ard watched the dis
bursements very closely, we would be
considerably behind now, for in three
years the surplus bi revenue over the
regular current and interest account
would be 5000, coo, and these extraor-
binary appropriations being $780,
000 in the three year,, shows that we
have managed to get up about $500
from these old matters"

THE Presidency
IL the Election DevOIves Upon the
Mouse.

Baltimore Sun There are now thir.
ty-eight Ssatea, and the indications
ara that neither party Will have in the
FifIieth Congr5ss the twenty States
necessary to elect a President by that
body. Counting Colorado, which fIom
best advices seems to have gone Demo-
cratic, that party has a ms ority in the
Congressional delegations in eighteen
States, as fjllowe Alabama, Arka nsa',
Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, For.
ida, Georgia, Kentucky, L-usaDa,
Maryland. Minnesota, Mississippi,
Missouri, North Clrolina, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee Texas, West Virginia.
Conceding Rhode Island, where one
Republican has b sen chosen and there
is a vacancy in the other district, 10
that party, the Republicans have
maj Jfity of congressman in niue
teen Sta'es, as follows: Cali
fornia, Illinois, Indiana. Iowa,
K0nsas, Maine, Massachusetts,,
Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New
jersey, New York. Ohio, OREGON,
Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, verm ont,
Virginia, Wisconsin. la New Hamp-
shire there is a divided delegation,
each party having elected a Repres-
entatiVe. 50 New Hampshire would
not vote, leaving the Republicans one
short OF the requisite vote Of twenty
States, or q majority Of all the Thirty
eight States. There would, therefore,
be q deadlock ia the House, and the
4th Of March and the beginning OF
the new Presidential term would AZ
rive without there having been any
President selected. 10 such case the
Constitution provides that the Vice
President shall act as Pres dent. The
Senate, in the event OF no candidate
for the Vice Presidency having re-
ceived the vote of majority 81 all the
electors appointed, selects fom the
two persons having the greatest nam
Der OF votes Vice President. In
this election the Senators vote
in their accustomed manner.
Supp osing that the Labor
candidate or the Prohibition candi-
date ehould in 1883 receive sufficient
number Of electoral votes TO prevent
either the Republican or the Demo
cratic nominee from obtaining ma
jorty OF sl the electoral votes, the
election OF the President would be
thrown into the House, which, as we
have Just seen, would be unable to
make any choice. The duty Of select
ing Vice President would devolve
upon the Senate, and ia case Mr.. Rid
dleberger voted with the Republicans
the Republican candidate for Vice
President would be chosen, and by the
terms Of the constitution would on
the 4th Of March succeed to all the
rights OF tho Presidency.

Striking Passages In che Indian
COmmissiOner's Report.

WASHINGTON, November l3.--0ne
OF the most striking passages in the
annual report OF Commissioner j. ID.
@. Atkins, which has just been
printed, shows the workings Of an H.
dian landed aristocracy under the
present tribal system Of holding reser-
vations. II appears that the chief
cultivation OF the tribal lands is done
by few rich and enterprislng red
men, who pocket all the proceeds and
pay no rent to the tribe IS whole.
0tceuree their plea is that II any 9th
er members OF the tribe choose to till
their lands they are at liberty to do
90; bat IL appears that in the Indian
Territory, where some very large az
gregate crops are grown on lands held
In common by partly civilized tribes,
the weather. and more Influential
Indians have monopoliEed the best
lands, and much more than would be
their share under an equal division in
severalty. Commissioner Atkins ac-
cordinPly points out the present bys.
tenn Of land tenure among the red
men as working very badly, and that
the government ought TO intervene
and divide the lands held in the Indian
Tertiary into lots Of 100 acres for each
head OF a family, and half as much for
each minor child. The general i'm
precision derived from Commissioners
Atkins's report is that tho present sys-
tenn OF Indian land holding 10 very
imperfect and un wise, and that Con-
gress should PROMPTLY substitute one
which would be better both for the
red men and the white.
