IN MEMORIAM.
N airy A. HeiD.

Departed this life August Is, 1886.
Dedicated to her 6ereaUed brother and sisters.
We weep for loved one who now has
departed,
Who with her bright smiles gave cheer to
our homo;
Whose sweet disposition has ever impaired
A feeling of love and of pleasure to come.
And now ia the midst of life early splendor,
The summons is given through angels
above,
By whom she is borne with hands meek and
tender,
To that realm of peace, joy, and Of love.
Out OF our homo our Mary has vanished,
And left us to weep in this cold world Of
pain;
But ne'er from our hearts will her memory
Tho our call for her coming will all be in
vain.
She left US to mOurn-but why should the
And desolate heart recall her againi
Tho home without her will ever be dreary,
We know that in heaven she's free from
all pain.
Up 'mong the angels, she prAys US to meet
her,
With father and mother who waited her
When Death shall claim us ven hasten to
In that land of the angels, and beauty so
fair.
To brothers and sisters. who weep here in
sorrow,
And mourn DER the absence of ono ever
She beckon them Ger to glimpse Of the

AT LAKE PLACID,
Where the President and Party
Will Spend the Sabbath.

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, September A.
President Cleveland's party drove
fcvoss the country from Saranac Inn
t7day and are qusrtered here for the
Sabbath. Neither Mrs. Cleveland nor
Mrs, Folsom have ever seen the
beauties Of this portion of the Adirou-
dacks, aud the trip was taken chiefly
on that account. Paul Smith had
charge of the party and drove the
President and Mrs Cleveland, his fleet
pair OF bays doing service on this occa-
sion.
DR.. Ward, Mrs. Folsom and friend
of the Doctors occupied the second
carriage. The journey was about
twenty.seven miles, over reads that
proved tolerably hard and comfort
able. Much of it was through forest
lands whose foliage is just beginning
to yield coioring to the fross of Sep
TENDER. Dinner was partaken OF at
the Raybrook House, wayside inn
about three miles from Saranac village.
With taxidermist at that village were
left the heads and skins of the bucks
killed by Mr.. Cleveland and his
friends in the Upper Lake region.
The former will be mounted, while
the latter will be converted into
rugs. The Tariy will resume their
journey Monday, their determination
being to spend several days on the
road in this locality before returning
to SaranaC Ion.

Tennessee produced two natural
born soldiers during our late unhappy
war, and but two-Forrest, the Murat
of our country, and Flank Cheatham,
the Marshal Ney of Tennessee in
fantry. His was the born spirit of
combat. Fight, fight, fight. This wss
the motto of his action. He never
went into battle except with the de.
termination to win, and he never lost
q fight where courage and duty called
him to act.
After the. close OF the war, Gen.
Cheatham returned to Nashville, and
resumed the peaceful pursuits OF a
citizen. In 1866 he married Miss An
ME Robertson, daughter of Mr.. A. b.
R. beitson, OF Manchester, Coffee
county, retired merchant, formerly
OF Nashville. Since that lime he en-
gagged in farming, until last October,
when he was appointed by President
Cleveland postmaster at Nashville.
He leaves a wife and five children,
three boys aud two girls.
The only political contest in which
Gen. Cheatham engaged was in 1872,
when he was nominated by the State
Democratic Convention for Congress-
man for the State at large, running
sgsinst ex-President Andrew Johnson,
both OF whom were defeated by the
Hon. Horace Maynsrd.

BiOgranhical,

Benjamin Franklin Cheatham,
native OF Davidson county, Tenn, was
born in Nashville, October 20, 1920,
and died in his 66sh year. He YVES
the oldest son of Col. Leonard P.
Cheatham, the founder of one of our
most prominent Middle Tennessee
families. His father was a lawyer by
profession, but was chiefly known ss
farmer and as raiser OF blooded
horses. His mother was Miss Rob-
ertson, granddaughter Of Gen. James
Robertson, the pioneer settler Of Nash
vile, d the daughter of DR.. Felix
Robertson, an eminent physician of
this city, and the first white male
child born in Davidson county, in the
log house fort that stood on the bluff
at Nashboro at the foot of Church
street.
Co. L. p. Cheatham was appointed
postmaster at Nashville by President
James K. Polk in 1S48 and his son,
Frank, was made cletk in the same
Office. Early imbued with a military
spirit, Frank Cheatham was elected
captain of company known as the
Nashville Blues, made up of young
Democrats of the city, and between
whom and the Harrison Guards, the
Wing company, there existed the
most spirited rivalry. When war was
declared between the United
States and Mexico the Nashville
Blues were among the first COM
panies to. offer their services to Gov.
Aaron V. Brown. They were promptly
accepted and mustered in as Company
A, First Tennessee regiment, a regi-
ment which distinguished itse.f in the
battles of Monterey, Cerro Gordo and
at the bombardment of Vera Cruz,
and many other engagements, and re-
turned home with the laurels Of that
war and the sobriquet OF the "Bloody
First" as the distinguishing name OF
that gallant bldy Of American sol.
diery.
After the Mexican war, in which he
had rendered such valiant service,
Frank Chesiham was elected Colonel
OF the Fifth Tennessee regiment Of
militia, and for several years there
after was justly regarded as one of the
heroes Of that brilliant and successful
passage at arms.
In 1S47, when the gold fever broke
out in California. and thousands OF
daring and venturesome spirits from
the older Safes sought the Pacific
shores for fortune, Col. Cheatham led
the boldest in the Argonautic expedi-
ton.
Returning 10 Nashville with snug
fortune at mis- command, he engaged
in mercantile pursuits up to the
breaking out of the late war. APP.

his easy chair and surrounded by his
loved ones, the hero Of score of hard
fought battles peacefully rassed away
as the clock was striking this morn
ing, at the home OF his brother, Felix
Cheatham, corner of 0phelia avenue
and Monroe street. His death had
been hourly expected for the past two
days, and since his rsturn from Hur.
ricane Springs, about eight Gays
ago, it was evident to all that
he was gradually sinking, aud fer
the greater part of the past two
days his mind had bten wandering.
During his lucid moments he spoke OF
his family, and appeared especially
anxious that bis wife should not leave
his eide for moment. Everything
that love could prompt or affection
suggest, was done towards making his
last hours on ea'th IS easy as possible,
and he expired while the devoted
watchers were in the act of changing
his position in the easy chsir upon
which he was reclining. There
was no struggle, no word, no
moan only a slight gasp, and all
was over. The 6yJng chieftaiD, whose
whole life and character stamped him
pre.eminently as soldier born, even
in the closing hours gave evidence Of
the martial passion which swayed
him, and in his incoherent moments
that voice, the clarion notes Of which
60 often rallied the ranks, might be
heard giving the words of command
to his folio wers. Late yesterday after
noon a heavy wagon drove past the
house, and the Iumbling sound evil
IDENTIFY awakened the memories of
other days, and raising his head the
commander whispered: "There 20 the
troops; bring ms my horse"

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September A.
Messrs. Barry and Bailey, the only
members Of the General Executive
Board of the Knights of Labor now in
this city, upon being shown a copy Of
the Pittsburg dispatch stating that
Grand Master Workman Powderly
contemplated leaving the order, on
account Of internal trouble therein,
said there has never been time when
the feeling OF harmony, both between
Mr.. Powderly and the members OF the
order at large, and between himself
and the members Of the General Ex-
scutive Board, was stronger or more
sincere than it is at the present time.
