Col. John H. Savage.

We clip the following from the
Nashville Weekly Toiler:
Col. John H. Savage, we notice, is
reelected to the General Assembly.
His county has the utmost confidence
in him, which is always a recommen-
dation for any man. There are few
men in the State who has stood firm
er in his convictions or done more for
his party than Col. Savage. He is adj
mitted by all who know him, to be
the very soul of honor, land in his long
public life, devoted to what he con-
scientiously believed to be to the in
terest of the masses, not a shadow of
faint rests upon his public record. 1t
is "honest John" by all who know
him best. He has never received
proper recognition for his services
and there are some who believe the
Col. will yet be made useful in high
er official positions than he has receiv-
ed. In the legislative halls of the
next General Assembly, we predict
he will be one of the leaders and
workers for the rights of the people.

and is otherwise conducted as two
separate towns, while nothing but
an imaginary line through the
center of one of the prin-
cipal business streets divides
them. The two places have together
about 1900 inhabitants, and is one of
the principal railroad centers Of Tex
as, some five or six important lines
converging here. The town is but
fourteen years old, but has number
OF substantial business blocks. In
our drive we found many handsome
residences, some of them surrounded
by pretty grounds, but such streets
mud and slush. The soil is sandy,
and they say the streets dry up very
rapidly. We were shown a number
of japanese persimon trees, hanging
full of fruit. They resemble a toma-
to very much, and are as large as an
ordinary limbertwig apple.
The weather is cold and threaten
ing rain. Of course l have not had
an opportunity to form an intelligent
idea of Texas yet, having seen but
this one place, but l can see nothing
else but pecuniary interest which
could induce Tennessean to settle
in Texarkana, and 1 would want a
salary equal to the Presidents to in
duce me to live here. Lumber is the
principal business ofthe town. About
5000 car loads were shipped from
here last year. R.

panied to learn of the death of Mrs.
Medley which occurred at Cookeville

FROM present indications the re-
publican majority in the next Con-
gress will be very small. In the
House it will be a bare working ma
iority, enough however to give that
party complete control of the gov
eminent, and so fix upon it the en-
tire responsibility of the administra-
ton. This is as it ought to be. Mr..
cleveland has made most excellent
President, and has accomplished
wonders in the midst of great difficult
ties, but Mr.. Cleveland has had to
tight an opposition Senate, and could
not do all he would have accomplish

Chattanooga Times. t.a '.} rs.W
Harrison is the first president from
Indiana and he was born and edu-
Gated in Ohio. The presidents, down
to Harrison, were citizens of the
following states when elected :
Virginia, Massachusetts,, Tennessee,
New York, Ohio, New Hampshire,
Pennsylvania and Illinois, eight in
all. Virginia and Ohio have given
nativity to the largest number.
Lincoln, who came from Illinois, was
born in Kentucky, Grant was born in
Ohio, likewise Harrison and Garfield,
Tennessee had two of the list and
Andy Johnson served four years after
the death of Lincoln. Polk was the
only native Tennesseean to reach the
honor, Jackson and johnson both
being of North Carolina birth.

Hon. Creed. F. Bates was very
much annoyed yesterday over a re.
port which became current on the
street that he would contest the cleo.
ton of Hon. H. Clay Evans. Mr..
Bates has been closely confined to his
private business since the election
and has accepted the result with
commendable grace giving the
matter of contest no consideration
whatever. While in all probability
reports of fraud and illegal voting
have reached his ears, he has in no
instance expressed himself upon the
subject and has made no move what
ever towards substantiating the
charges of fraudulent balloting.

WE notice that several of the pa
pers are discussing the probable re-
construction of the Southern States
by the republican administration,
something similar to the course pur-
sued Just after the war. We have no
fears on that score. The war is over,
and the Southern States are part of
the Union with exactly the same
rights that belong to the other States,

these would naturally be on the look

One Of the ladies OF the Benevolent
Society desired us yesterday to lay
before the charitable people OF this
city very distressing case of destitu-
ton. A family OF sixteen are living in
place which IS almost bare of furni-
ture. There is but one bed in it, and
this is appropriated by the feeblest,
the rest lying around on the
floor with such scraps of
cl, thing AS they have tor cover
ing. They have nearly all been
down with sickness. The father died
two days ago and the mother is bed
ridden, having given birth to child
only three days ago. Measles have
broken out in the family and most of
them are suffering from that disease.
The Ladies' Benevolent Society ap-
peals to the people for bedding and
such other household comforts as the
charitable will give. Clothing of all
kinds will be gladly received. These
things are wanted at once. Ii left at
4OS Hill street, they will reach the
parties who are in such urgent need

MOUNTAIN TOPS.
Gods Works Appreciated from
Alpine Heights.

AsPhnC bhS'
At the First Presbyterian Church
yesterday forenoon, DR.. w. j. Chi
chester delivered a discourse upon
the moral effects Of communion with
nature from great elevations. Los
Angeles was singularly favored in her
Alpine surroundings, both for the
opportunities her mountains afford
her people for contemplation OF the
beauty and vastness of nature, and
for the ex xpansion of their mind and
the lifting OF their moral nature high
above the dross of the lower levels. The
man who does not often take advant.
age Of our situation and ascend to
some OF the mountain tops in our
vicinity, misses grand opportunity.
The speaker had lately threaded his
way to one of the highest peaks in the
Cahuenga range. From that splendid
heighth he was greeted with picture
OF the rarest beauty. His moral ma
ture was impressed with the lnagnif-
cence and the grandeur of the handi-
work of the Creator. Beneath lay
the foothills the verdured slope and
the ocean. In the opposite direction
rose. high above the Coast Range
upon which he stood, the Sierra Ne
vada, with lis snow-clad peaks tower
ing into the blue ether. The sublim-
ity OF the scene caused him to realize
the supreme majesty of the author OF
all this grandeur and beauty, and to
feel what mere nothings We were in
the presence not alone of His visible
works but OF the all-powerful Being
who had called them into shape.
Mans mind and vision are expanded
in such places; he imbibes from
the evidences of immensely which
surround hun religious reverence.
for the Power that created them. His
moral nature is elevated and fresh
ened bis conception OF things spirit
ual Is clarified. What ne sees with
his eyes he feels with his soul. He is
in Gods temple and feels the sauctity
and awe OF the Divine presence. He
looks upon suolinity and he feels his
own littleness. No one can ascend the
tops and contemplate in the
right spirit the vastness and magnih-
cence spread before him without being
better morally and physically.

PARNELL INQUIRY.
A Police Inspector Tcstifies as to
Bogus Outraees.

LONDON, November 23.-At the sitting
OF the Parnell Commission to-day In
spector. of Police Higgins testified con-
cerning the outrage at Castle Island,
County Kerry. On cross-examination,
witness said he believed that the farm
ers' sons initiated the outrages in order
to evade the payment of rent. He knew
of bogus outrages, but he was not aware
that men connived to damage their own
property in order to secure compensation
from the quarter sessions. He did not
think all the outrages were due to secret
societies. Some were the result of family
quarrels or private malice. He connected
the league with moonlighting, because
pricr to the existence of the league Kerry
had been peaceful.
Lockwood, of the Parnellites counsel,
asked witness how long he had been en-
gagged in getting up the case for the
Times. Sir Henry James, q counsel for
the Times, objected to the question,
whereupon Sir Charles Russell exclaim-
ed warmly: "We charge, and intend to
prove, that the whole executive author
ity, even including the resident magis-
trates, is engaged in getting up Times
cases."
Witness then denied that the Times
had employed him. On redirect exam
ination witness stated that no case OF
bogus outrage ever had been returned by
the police as real outrage.
