Those among our readers who can re-
member the political debates in this State
before the war will bear ready testimony
TO the fact that the public is no longer
treated by political speakers TO anything
like the speeches. that were then made. A
reason for this is, perhaps, that the press
usurps the function Of the stump orator and
takes the wind out OF his sails. But even
when debates are INDUCED they are not in
breadth or consequence anything like
those that in ante-bellmn days aroused the
people in every part OF Tennessee and
made political campaigns memorable.
Gentry, Netherland and Etheridge, among
the Wings, were then great speakers The
first two were especially strong, and Dem
ocrats like Andy johnson and Harris
found themselves pushed TO their ut
most to hold comparison. Emerson Eth
eridge's best postwar canvass was
when, in 1868, he was pitted
against Brownlow in the race for

declared il Il draw.
CHANTILLY, March, lO.-The Mitch

grounds Of Baron Rothschiits near
Creiil. Sullivan was out Of condition
when iie entered the ring, and Mitchell
had the best Of the fight. Mitchell's
friends assert that he would have won
the fight had it been continued. The
tial.t lasted little over two hours.
Up to the GI,d ..f tAe eighth round
Suiliy;in appeared TO have the best of
the fight, but the fact that he could not
knock Mitchell out seemed to discour-
age him, and after that ne fought with
little spirit.
Mitchell showed great pluck through

result is virtually Il victory for the lit

At Tic end Of the fight both men

away with Harper. ,oa;,,s+;
Dimsdale in the meantime had lnstl-
tutcd proceedings for a divorce, Wnten 11er
he withdrew upon receipt OF this ietter.
He then began paying court 10 MISS
S,r1h Holc0mb, which eliminated IN
hopny marriage shortly afterWard,
and he has lived happily with his ne"
wife until last Friday night, wnen Mls' s
Dimsdale number one made her appeai-
auce. and the scene which followed was
As embarrassing as it was ahectlnS;
The penitent wife rushed IN "lthoul
being announced, and, falling at her
husbands feet, begged to be taken oack,
while her little children nestled close
70 her bosom. On the one side OF Dl1ns-
dale sat his newly welded wife whom
he had promised to love and cherlsh,
| while on the other side was the wife OF
his youth, who had deserted him ana
their children and who, he thought,
WAS dead. TO say that her appearance
almost paralyzed him would be to put
it exceedingly mild, and it was some
time before she could convince him that
she was really alive and not the ghost
of his former wife.
He has not yet decided what course
to pursue. He thinks OF giving Wlle
number two to her parents and cling
ing to wife number one until ne can get
a divorce; but this way out OF the
trouble would hardly be recognized by
the law. 1t turns out that the letter
was fraud, and Mr.. Dimsdale now
poses before the public with two living
wives, to love, cherish and obey, and a
probable case in the court on a charge
Of bigamy.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN:

On salesday, last, there was not a
land sale by either Sheriff or Master in
Equity. Does this mean the foreign
and Northern land-loan association now
own the whole thing?-Edgefield
Chronicle, March s.
We would not be surprised if it does
mean this, and if so, you may lookout
for lively times after awhile when the
mortgages begin to fall due. The mas
ter and the sheriff will be busy then,
and the land loan associations will in
reality own lot of this land. Interest
counts up mighty fast when it is rum
ming on mortgage over the home
stead. Never mortgage the homestead
as long as You can possibly get along
without it.

san FRANcIsco, March l0.-Thc
Hong Kong Mail, copies Of which were
received here by last nights China

earthquake in the province of Iunnan
December Is, and it is Indicative OF
frightful mortality. The Mail says: In
the interior department of Ching Chau
the disturbances We're extremely Vio-
lent, being continued at irregular inter
walls for four days, when they ceased en-
tirely. The departmental city is said to
have been reduced to a mass Of ruins,
scarcely 4 house escaping damage, and
over five thousand persons arc rcpor;cd
to have been killed by falling buildings.
Many OF them were buried under the
ruins, while the number of the injured
is too large for computation.
At 10 Chau, in Chula, 4 striking
change has been caused in the appear
ance of the country, large tracts OF land
being swallowed up and the surface
changed into 4 lake. At Lo Chau more
than ten thousand persons arc said to
