Gen. Upshaw's Title.
Chicago Herald.


Gen. Upshaw's title shines with a
luster reflected only ON those who have
the honor to be on the staff of the gov
ernor of Tennessee. The general is
stickler for his title. Once when local
reporter was hunting some news about
Indian affairs as he passed along the
corridors of the Interior department he
briefly inquired of the messenger at one
of the doors:
"UpshaW in?"
"Gen. Upshaw is busy with his mail,
and can be seen only on important bust
ness. Have you kyard, sah?"
"Oh, that's all right" remarked the
reporter, as he walked into the room.
''Phil' Thompson and number of other
politicians were there, and the ''gen-
eral' seemed to be busy listening to
their stories rather than in attending to
his mail.
"Mr. Upshaw here?" said the repor-
ter.
There was dead silence for a few
moments. Then "PhiP' Thompson
pointed to a pair of boots stretched
across the desk. There seemed to be
an individual attached to them. Slowly
the boots came down from the desk,
stream of tobacco was shot into spit
toOn, and the owner of the boots said
with severity that said good deal:
"Mr. Upshaw is not ill.,"
The reporter looked inguiringly at
''Phil'' Thompson. Then the Presence
attached to the boots said with dignity:
'.Gen. UpshaW is in; what do you
want of me?'

in 1884, is being threatened with lynch
ing at Madison, where he recently went
for the purpose of procuring evidence
to sustain the contest of F. S. Goodrich,
Republican, for the congressional seat
for that district. Rumors rejecting on
Mr.. Pape's methods spread, and certain
hot-headed individuals took advantage
OF the popular excitement to insti-
gate movement against him.
The authorities determined that
Mr.. Pope should be protected at all
hazards. Gov. Fleming telegraphed to
the same effect. Sheriff Parramofe col

but were dismayed at the preparations
made to receive them, and dispersed.
1t is feared that they will renew their
operations. and the sheriff and posse
are keeping careful watch over Pope.
Mr.. Pope is a native of Madison, but
has become very unpopular of late
years Oh account of his political record.
He is plucky, and telegraphs his friends
that he has no fear.

The violin gown is one of the tea
gowns latest rivals. So many young
women have set themselves to practic-
ing with the bow that the violin gown is
the attire in which these musical
aspirantS are most likely to be
found of an afternoon. The
violin gown most often is of
creamy primrose color. the tint which
contrasts most splendidly with the dark
red of the polished wood. A pale yell
low silk skirt, held by sash of crepe,
with fringed ends, tied to hang low in
front, round waist with lace sleeves
in soft puffs about the arms and conf

basis of the violin gown last
seen. Clusters Of deep red artificial
roses delicately perfumed were fastened
in the draperies, and large opal glowed
from bracelet on the wrist. The opal
is the jewel most frequently worn with
the violin gown. When the violin is
under the chin, and the bow is held
high and the first staccato notes begin,
then the opal is in its glory.

New England and Think They
DO Well.
The following extract from the dis
cussions of farmers club at Hanover.
n. b., among the rocks and hills of the
north part of the state. where hard work
and economy take on much rOugher
features than in the West, may indicate
something of the reasons that people
still remain there and try to make the
unkindly soil afford them subsistence:
AT II o'clock Mr.. Cheever, of the New
England Farmer, read paper on New
England Agriculture" 1t seemed to
him that all the land in the United
States was I'm the Market" as we'll
West as East. Pecuniarily he believed
there is little choice, as lands as a rule
will bring what they are worth. He had
yet found no other spot equal to some
hooks in New England. A New En-
gland bush pasture promises more than
the average Western claim, where the
trees grow bent by prevailing winds.
Good water is the exception, either
West or South. Connecticut river land is
as good as one need ask for. Farmers
depend too much on the land and too
little OH themselves. We have not been

take of American farmers has been the
disposition to pull up stakes and go
somewhere else. California and New
Jersey stand foremost in gross products
per farm Illinois, New York, Massachu-
sets and Vermont followed close, while
New Hampshire is ahead of Virginia
and Kentucky. His figures were based
on the United States census of 1880.
Per acreage three New England states
stand third, fourth and fifth, New Jer-
sey and New York leading. Six New
England states stand next to six old
Middle states in products, while the
Western states are below them.
A Western cOrn-grower pl0ws eight
or ten acres to one acre in New Eng
land, the cost per acre being less of
course. The fodder per acre in New
England is often worth more than the
whole products of an acre west. If you
are not satisfied here get satisfaction
from better farming where you are,
rather than move. When there are six
months of growing weather why ask our
fields for but three months of work?
Dalrying is the key note of success in
New England agriculture. He raised
rye, oats, and then barley for dairy
crops. He resolved rye and harvested
apples on the same ground. He had
harvested SiXty-six acres of crops from
tWenty-siX acres of land in year in
Massachusetts,. He had eighteen
months manure in store when he sold
his farm. Use your farms.

SULLIVAN HAS SKIPPED.
The HoOsier Bankrupt Supposed

to Have Gone to Canada.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. Joseph E.
Sullivan, county clerk of this county,
who failed for $4,000 last Tuesday, is
missing from the city and is supposed
to be in Canada. His fight was occa-
stoned by the discovery that he has
issued fraudulent warehouse receipts
for large consignments of spoultry, pro-
duce, ETC., which he was supposed to
have in his outside business. Amount
of these receipts is not yet developed,
but it is known that county treasurer
Loftln, whom Sullivan owed S21, 900, has
$4,000 CT them. Sullivan's confidential
clerk and book keeper. Tom O'Neil,
who wrote the receipts, is also missing.
Sullivan's office has been turned over
to his chief deputy and bondsman, w.
X. Sproule.
Sullivan's wife says John has gone to
New York to RAISE money to tide him
over and pay his debts, but this state
ment is not given credence. His defal-
cations and debts are estimated to run
anywhere from $4,000 to $150,000. He
made clean sweep of the money in the
county clerks Office, and did not leave
enough funds TO pay the salaries due
his deputies. He raised money in every
conceivable way, and the presumption
is that he carried good round sum
away with him. His embellishments,
aside from his legitimate debts, may
reach about $4,000.
