Chalmers Nominated.

Memphis Appeal.
Gen. James Il. Chalmers was
yesterday nominated lor Governor
of Mississippi by the Republicans
Of that State. The Democrats now
know whom aud what they have
to fight. We do not believe that
Gen. Chalmers expects to be elect
ed, but he will make Il great deal
Of mischief before he gels through.
This was made evident by the very
bitter speech he made at he con-
venti0n and by the tenor OF the
resolutions passed. We have no
doubt that Gen. Chalmers will have
the backing of the administration
aud Quay, AS Mahone has il in Vir
GINA. Therefore The Democrats
should smash him. HIS nomina-
lion is a challenge to civilization.
His election would mean The til.
umph OF ignorance and the over
throw OF social order The fact
that John r Lynch, in plain viola
ton of The laws, was permitted 10
forsake his duties III Washington
to participate in the conventiony
shows that The Republican move
meat in Mississippi has been con
cpived in devllry. The platform
declares in favor of conducting M
tionaI election under the exclusive
supervision Of national officers
The people Of Mississippi know
from the sad experience just
what would follow il his plan was
adopted. In accepting the nomi-
nation Gen. Chalmers abandons
forever his claim Of being an indie
pendent. He has gone over to the
Republicans, body, boots and
breeches and sold bis political soul
to The Republican devil. We do
not think he has any hope OF efec-
lion, we do believe that his special
object in making the race Is 10 im-
press the Election Committee of
the next national House OF Repre-
sentatives with his importance as
leader oil the Republican party in
the South. 1t was necessary for
him to show them The leopard had
actually changed his spots and that

For she was very fair to view,
And IL was the gate

BStokening my ruin,
A dapper fellow Brown by name,

They sprang upon ME in the gloam,
And talked of moon and star.

Along with ma and pa.
My lot was happy for year,
No counting night or day
had no thought, had no fear
Bad luck would come,my way,
But oh this morning. save the mark
There came wild surprise
A shadow fitted grim aud dark
Across my sunny skies.
A doctor, with knowing smile.
A nurse with face serene,
A hustle in the house the while.
Great Scott what can it meant
My hinges ache; my back is weak,
My plckets in whiA;

1t is another girl.

A New York World cable has scandalous
story about Clinton P Ferry, who is called a
millionaire from Washington Territory to
the Paris exhibition. He is said to have had
a row with his wife over her alleged infidelity
with young Frenchman, in which she broke
one of his fingers, and bit his nose nearly off.
None of the Washington Territory people
know anything about Ferry. and it is not
believed that he can be SO prominent in the
territory as the dispatch represents. Moth
ing is known of him at the state depart
ment, which disclaims responsibility for state
commissioners to the exhibition, who are

Record of Casualties.

Patrick McTamDey, an old sWitchmen in
the Pennsylvania railroad yards at Jersey
City, sprang in front Of a train to save the
lite OF a little boy who had wande red upc n

succeeded in pushing the child out of danger,
he fell beneath the wheels himself and was
torn to pieces. He leaves a widow and seven
children in poor circumstances.
During the fearful storm which ragged
throughout Kansas, a barn was blown to
pieces six and onehalf miles southeast OF
Wellington, and some of the timb ers were
driven by the force of the wind clear through
the North side OF the house, one of which
struck and fatally injured a Mr.. Hacker,
who with his family, occupied it. Three
hours later the man died. The accident was
peculiarly sad one. The family came to
Summer county from the West last fall,
about starved out. When the storm came
up Hacker aroused his vile, who is abont to
be confined, and four children, and was hur-
rying them out of the room when the debris
struck the house. He being the last to leave,
was struck just on the threshold. The house
was instantly flooded with water, and for an
hour the storm ragged with undated fury,
during which the women and children went
through time that tried their souls.
