up and Marshall is alive. Eddie Mar
shall has received letter from his miss
ing brother. in which the young man
says that on the night that he and Davis
purchased revolver the latter aimed it
at house and fired land, " continued
the letter, Il think he must have hit or
killed some one, for an officer got on our
track. When we were far from the city,
Davis pointed his revolver at me and
compelled me to give him my money.
Seeing an officer coming, he gave back
the money. He was very much fright
ened. and seeing that the officer had got
him, he shot at me but did not hit me. l
then escaped and Eddie am innocent of
anv crime" He adds in the letter that
he was going straight to New York.
The letter is dated Lowell, October ID,
and was not taken from the postoffice at

Mrs. Judge Bellows and daughter re-
turned to their home, last week, from a
long sojourn at South Hampton (by the

Monday afternoon, while the Massasoit
company were driving through Butfum' S
woods, they came across Walter Leach
of Westminster, most fortunately for
him, as he had just broken his leg while
moving some logs. They put him into
their express wagon and carried him
home, where the fractured limb was
properly cared for.
There was Democratic rally at the
town hall, Tuesday evening. The motto
'No bayOnets at the polls was placarded
on the posters, which seemed too funny
to be in earnest. Query: viii the same
motto be placarded at Democratic rallies
in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas !?
In those states, where one man counts
for five in New England, it would be we'll
for the Republicans to rally under the
refrain 'No bayonets at the POLLS" and
possibly four-fifths of a man will be
added to New Highlander or one who
lives in Wisconsin, so as to make them
equal to one man who lives in southern
climate.
The Massasoit company, under the di-
rection of DR.. circuit, have been giving
a series of entertainments, with medical
advise gratis, and selling patent medi-
cines at the town hall, the past ten days,
and will remain here this week. All
these exhibitions have been unexcep-
tionable. Their pianist is a wonder, and
their acrobatic feats, as amateurs solely,
rival those of professionals. 1t is rare
we have so good a variety of fun, frolic,
song and lecture, in series of two weeks
entertainment. The price of attendance
is what an Englishman would call " 'alf
and 'alf'-either ten cents or nothing, on
alternate nights, with the quality of en-
tertainment equally good either night.
They are going to Bellows Falls, by and
by, and you will be able to attest the
truth of my report.

Whittemore is the Democratic candidate
for senator in the Sth district.
Owing to the misrepresentation made
two years ago, and that are being made
at the present, relative to the cause of
the Independent movement from the
start, its leaders propose later in the
campaign to hold public meeting and
will challenge their opponents to a joint
discussion upon the merits and dement's

this kind will he watched with interest,
and good results will no doubt be OBJ
tanned by such a course in both parties.

Evans Illness.

The Washington dispatches in the
Chattanooga Times Of Monday con-
tain the following:
Congressman Evans is fast APP
preaching convalescence. He has
not at any time been dangerously i'll
but has all the while been sick
enough to keep his bed. Mrs. Evans
and his son Henry have been with
him much of the time, looking after
his wants. Mrs. Evans is very
careful and exacting nurse. Last
Sunday morning Mr.. Evans, feeling
very much stronger than usual con-
ceived the idea of getting out Of his
bed for the purpose of testing his re-
bellious leg by walking across the
room to n lounge near the window
where the sun was streaming in. He
knew Mrs. Evans would not hear to
II If such a thing was mentioned to
her, and so he Induced her to so to
church where, as he said she would
see something wonderful in the way
of a floral display, it being Easter.
Unsuspecting, Mrs. Evans went to
church and sly Mr.. Evans got out OF
bed and walked to the lounge, where
Mrs. Evans to her establishment
found him when she got back. Mr..
Evans is very impatient, but is in u
fair way to be out soon. He has had
hosts of friends during his illness.
One OF the most faithful has been
Postmaster General Wanamaker,
who has called daily since Mr.. Evans
has been in bed. On Sunday Mrs.
Wanamaker sent in a magnificent
bunch of cut flowers. Under such
conditions it Is not 50 bad to he Il lit

Rather High Handed.

Under the head of "Call Meeting''
in the Franklin Williamson county,
Appeal appears the following an
nouncement:
We are requested to announce that
a meeting of the Democratic voters
of the Ninth civil district, friendly
to the nomination of Josiah Patter.
son for Governor, will be held at the
courthouse at p. M, on Saturday,
April 10th, for the purpose of fram-
ing a ticket for delegates to the State
convention, and for conference as to
course of action.
This kind of business may suit the
Democrats down in Williamson, but
the unterrified up here in the noun
tains would raise mighty kick il
your Uncle Josiah's heelers should
attempt such game up here. Col.
Patterson may be an upper-case Dem.
ocrat, but the above is decidedly
lower-case method of trying to be
governor.

THE regular Republican conven>
ton of the First Congressional Dis
trict which assembled at Morristown
on the 10th inst, renominated ALT.
Taylor for Congress. A portion Of
the convention bolted and nominated
Roderic Random Butler. This places
two Republican candidates in the
field in the First District, and should
they both remain until the election,
the Democrats will certainly have a
good opportunity to capture the Dis
trict. Washington dispatches to
Tuesdays daily papers stated that
Houk and Taylor had both returned
to Washington in high spirits, and
were on particularly friendly terms,
from which it was inferred that
Houk had thrown his protecting wing
around Taylor. 1t is more than
probable that when Butler finds that
he cannot fluff Taylor off, he will
himself quit the race.

IT HAS been discovered that the
law extending the corporate limits of
Memphis, passed by the extra session
of the legislature called for that pur-
pose, is unconstitutional, and the
eight or ten thousand dollars which
the session cost was squandered for
nothing. 1t is quite provoking that
80 many laws OF this kind are passed
by the Legislatures, at such great
cost to the people. There is entirely
too much Of it, and it would be but
justice il the members of the Genera
Assembly could be made 10 refund

men are elected to Office who are in

THE high waters in the lower Mis-.
sissippi valley have become staten
airy, and in some places are falling.
The news from that section is of a
more cheerful naturethan 1t has been
in two or three weeks before. The
planters are putting in cotton as fast
as the water gets out of the way, but
they have still other ills to contend
with. Buffalo gnats have made
their appearance, and are playing
havoc with the stock, and where
the government or public charity
has supplied the negroes with rations
no amount of coaxing can get them
to work as long as the rations hold

MIR. Buchanan and the Labor Ticket.

Nashville American.
COLUMBIA, TENN, April 10.-An
active friend of Mr.. Buchanan's Mid
die Tennessee opponent has been ex-
hibiting a ballot which he says was
the ticket of the labor party in 1888,
containing the name of ]. P. Buch-
anan as one of the electors. Can you
tell me anything about it? III"
There was printed and distribted
in some parts of the State upon the
eve Of the last presidential election a
number of ballots which were headed
Union Labor Ticket, and upon which
appeared the name of Mr.. Buchanan
and also the names OF other Demo-
Gratis. 1t is but just to Mr.. Buchanan
to say that as soon as these tickets
Wee found to be in circulation he
promptly and publicly disclaimed all
knowledge of them or sympathy with
the purposes Of the alleged Labor I'M
ion party. The distribution of these
tickets was generally believed at the
time to be "a scheme devised by the
enemy" and no one believed that the
Democrats whose names were used
ever authorized it. Such was then
the opinion we publicly expressed ;
and such is our opinion now.
