Mr.. F. P. Ingram, living near
Graball. was in u city Tuesday and
paid us a pleasant call. Mr.. Ingram
speaks in glowing terms of the Val
ley and bottom farms which have
Oh them a good crop of cotton and a
splendid crop of corn, and says that
the latter will in many places make
from fifty to seventy-tive bushels to
the acre. We think our hill farmers
had better go to work and haul some
Of that dirt up here and scatter it

KATHERINE sPRAeue.
What the Marriage Lottery Brought to
Her.

T. B. Carpenter, Washington cores
pendent of the Cleveland Leader, has
some interesting things TO say about
NIs. Kate Chase, formerly the wife or
Ex-Governor Sprague. Whenin WASH
ington lately, she was experimenting
the removal of her fathers remains to
Ohio. She looks very wei, and shows
little signs Of age or trouble. She was
dressed in black and il was n common
remark that she had lost but little
of the beauty for which she is so
famous. She has much of the features
of her father, and it has been often said
that her ability is such that had she
been man she would have shoneas he
aid. The greatest mistake of her life
was in the marrying Of Governor
Sprague, Of Rhode Island. 1t was not
long after the marriage that she dis
covered this. Sprague's temper WAS
entirely incompatible with hers. Ills
rude actions cut into her finer feelings.
l remember an instance which was
told mt Tie time of her divorce. 1t
happened early in the sixties, and he
annoyed her both at home and IN
society. 1t was at a dinner given by
President Lincoln in honor OF Chief
Justice Chase shortly aftcrhis appoint
mcnt as head of the supreme Court
Chase sat mt Mrs Lincoln's right hand,
and Kate Chase ~pragUe was seated at
the other side of Che table just oppo-
site: senator ~prarue escorted a distln-
Cuished lady to the dinner room, and
his seat was a little bit further down
the table. Shortly after the dinner
began it was seen that Sprague had
been drinking. lie had taken a cock
tail or SO before coming to the White
House, and the mixing of the whisky
with tAo wine he found there reduced
him 70 am intoxicated condition Be
fore the fish had been passed, his tongue
grew thick in his mouth and at the
serving ot Tie frs, entrce il was seen
tLatLcLal sml, back in his chair and
was breathing heavily in drunken
sleep. AIT thls moment Mrs. Spra ue
ssw him. SHE became pale, but did
not lose her head. She went on with
her couvarsatjouas cayly as though her
lu anj was the brightest man at the
dinner table. Tint moment later She
eau h- her fathers eye and 10y glance
called Dis attention to the situation.
Ci.f JUr5c Chase said i'm a low tone
80 l-rs. L.ncou: 81 see that Senator
~eue is IN. WIN you kindly have
,ae butler assist him into the cloak
room :" Mrs. Lincoln whispered to a
,ar. and the drunken senator was
quietly removed lie slept upon the
sofa dmU the whole OF the evening.
AND was taken home in his carriage
sl in a drunken stWor. This event
is one that .happeuedin public. Aman
Who viii so forget himself at a White
House dinner, must have been a per-
tt boor at home, and there is little
doubt that Kate Chase Sprague was
more sinued against than SHINING.

National Republican., 1886-01-19

The Galveston Ncps is In a state Of mind,
and appears to be deeply and awfully i'm
pressed with the solemn conviction that the
Democratic party, Of whose creed 1t is an
able exponent, is in n bad way. II feels
confident that no "southern Democrat who
reads the newspapers can have any doubt
that Congress is organized in the interest of
few persons instead Of in the interest Of
the people"
So weak is the faith Of this Democratic
journal in its own party and in the great
fundamental idea of democratic-republican
government that It makes no bones of
squarely asserting that the rules were
changed in the interest Of jobbery, and the
appropriation bills are scattered around
among various committees in order to satisfy
the demands of organized pluhderers.
All this is very sad. If the Galveston
editor understands his own party, and he
thinks he does, the country is in a perilous
condition. "Mr. Carlisle is very good
man. says the Galveston critic, but 1t ap-
pears that he has wicked partners. at is
well known in Washington" the article
goes on, "according to all accounts. that
Mr.. Carlisle has allowed Morrison, OF Illi-
nois, and Willis, Of Kentucky, to make up
his committees for him. The coinage com
mittee, for instance, is packed in the inter
est of the gold bugs and Wall street wreck
ers, and 1t has been packed in the face Of
the fact that large majority of the Demo-
Gratis Of the House are opposed to the de-
monetization Of silver The great trouble
is that. some of the western congressman
who have been pushed into adyentitious
prominence are suffering from virulent
attack Of the presidential disease. This
fact is sufficient to account for the curious
capers cut by both Carlisle and Morrison"
1t is seldom in the course of political
events that a party newspaper makes so
humiliating and utterly discouraging a
diagnosis Of its own party as this Texas
journal has given. The ''curious capers''
OF Messrs. Carlisle and Morrison are more
than matched by this fresh supply of capera
sauce from the gulf
