"phAcg AUX DANES"


From he London 7tle0raph
If England--as Lord Beaconsiield be-
lieved and maintaincds to be saved by
her young men," their countrymcn of
more mature age are justified in bcstow-
ing their serious consideration on any
complaints of this kind. II is our duty to
look after these future saviors of the
country, and whenever we notice in them
q tendency to decline from the standard
Of our own well-known virtues, and to
discrcdit the admirable example which
we have set them, the fact must be kindly
btrt GPmly paintcd out TO them. II would
be, indeed, bao omen for the national
future if the youth of England were
really losing that chivalrous respect for
the weaker sex by which the manners of
their fathers and, we will add, their
umcles, was so invariably distinguished;
and, though we do not ourselves take as
desponding a view on that point as pre-
walls in certain quarters, we can not deny
that there are visible grounds for some
uneasincss.
For instance, It is impossible not to
notice change for the worse in the new
mCde of address adopted by the young
man of the present day towards young
women not related to him, or for any
other reason so closely associated with him
as TO justify a tone of exceptional famil-
iarity. 10 overhear u casual CONVERSE
ton between two such young people of
opposite sexes, however gently born and
brcd"-to quote the Laureates descrlp-
| tiun, introduced by the way, with u
rather offensive "but," of his "City
Clerk in "Sea Drcams"--is to find food
for very grave reflection. We would not
lay too much stress on the fact that the
| Youths manner of acCosting the maiden
| Is undoubtedly calculated to make the
| bones of their great. grandmothers stir in
| the silent tomb. We are quite willing to
admit that those venerable ladies are Just
| little too much 'out of the movement"
and we profess no wish to revive thes some
what oppressive and excessive formality
| of the "Sir" and Madame days. There
| is, however, surely some medium between
| the cercmonious and the free.and-easv;
and if the gentleman has ceased to bow to
| the ground in addressing the lady, that is
no reason why he should take, speaking
| fguratively, to slapping her on-the back.
| The "hail-fellow-well-met" style be-
tween The two sexes has, however, un-
questionably gained ground of late years,
and it may be the too common male
habit of talking to women with free
| dom and familiarity not formerly used
| toward them which Is gradually leading
| young men to neglect those attentions
| and services which ladies still expect
| from them. 1t must be difficult for II
| youth who has accustomed himself to
treat his female partner of the lawn
tennis ground as "chum" or "palr'
to make sudden or complete change of
| attitude toward her when she becomes his
partner of the ballroom. On OCCASION
and, indeed on most occasons-he might
| very well be apt to forget that she had
| any more claim TO precedence or prefer
ence, any more right to be waited upon
and "looked after" by him, than would
| belong to companion of his own sex,

statement In this evenings Cntric that
Rider Haggard has formed literary part

read that James G. Blaine had united
forces with Jerry Simpson, the socklcss

have been more amazed. For number
of years this William Hosea Ballou has
been making frantic but futile efforts TO
palm on literary wares of the most wishy-
washy sort In New York newspaper of

as sort of freak. | believe he has
got n reputation among journalists as the
most mOnumentally weak writerin Amer
lea. The managing editor of a New York
newspaper syndicate once said to me, after
the door of the sanctum had closed on
Ballou, who had been making an unsuc-
cessful effort to peddle some of his stuff
That man Is a notable representative of
the enormous class of vapid nonentities
who try TO force themselves into journal
ism by sheer gall. He can't write as well
as a third-rate scribbler who does the
county news for q country paper, but he
thinks he is giving Robert Louis Steven
son hard race for honors in the mastery
of English. He has an interest in some
springs out in Indiana, and he has just
wearied me terribly by trying TO talk me
into buying Il $500 word ad. of these
springs for $40 thousand words. He
pains me much"
About year ago Ballou struck very
clay" town down South, and succeeded
in making the inhabitants believe that he
was colossal literary figure in the North.
The town paper came ont with q three
column interview with "the famous man
of letters who has come among us" in
which Ballou expressed himself with
majestic pomposity on every conceivable
subject, from the limitations of the inf
mite TO the Assyrian wars. There was
not a managing editor in New York who,
when he read the twaddle, did not regard
it as q hilarious joke.
| Ballou is little fellow, who wears a
| plug hat and large and elegant side
whiskers. never knew of more con
summate "padder." lie has genius
| for stringing together wordsin meaning
less lump, and he carefully refrains from
ever expressing an idea.

honors with him, feel sorry for

public man has remained silent so long
under the proyocation Of such grieyous
accusations and though the silence was
at first injurious to Mr. Quay, it has lat
terly invested him with species of
pathos which will be 10 his adj
vantage now. The mere announcement
Of Mr.. QUAN's intention, however, will
have a powerful effect, OF course, 1t is

A Baptist in n Genevan Gown.
Ero,u me Ne,D yOrE ,C,in

The Rev. DIR. Bridgman of the Madison
avenue Baptist Church wears u Genevan
gown in the pulpit. He is the only Bap-
list clergyman in town who wears one,
and the only other in the country is the
Rev. DIR. Moxon of Boston. The gown
was given to DR.. Bridgman last Easter by
Mrs. Loomis, wife of DR.. Loomis. 1t was
made in London. When he exchanges
pulpits with brother clergyman DR..
Bridgman leaves his gown behind and ex-
poets his substitute to wear it. DR.. Bridg-
man says there is no doctrinal signili-
canoe in his wearing the gown. He is
actuated merely by sense Of fitness that
clergyman should wear something diff
ferent from his ordinary garb when OFF,
ciating at his high calling. Years ago,
when swallow-tails were not confined To
the evening, DR.. Bridgman wore a full
dress suit when preaching. This was
done on the sane principle that he now
wears the Geneyan gown. His congreSa-
tion approves of his gown, although when
first donned last spring it caused com
ment, and he thinks il only question OF
time when every Baptist Clergyman in the
country will wear one.

"The Rump Congress-"

In the mean time, there is a rcpudiated
Congress. How does il occupy ITSELF In
thwarting the will of the people, as If the
people were an enemy to be checkmated
and circumvented in the last days of the
brief life left to it. In carrying ont this
plan of warfare IT has paralyzed legisla-
ton for more than half the session of
Congress, and it seems ready to stop the
wheels Of Government itself. If this is
not the action of the rump of party, if
il is not the extreme of Bourbon legisla-
ton, what is it? Neither the Stuarts nor
the will of the English or the French
people than the supporters Of the Federal

FoR TIE SECOND TIME during his admin
idration, now less than two years old,
President H,RmsoN has seen the hand Of
ailliction laid heavily upon his official
family. For the second time, all unpre-
pared and answering the spontaneous
impulse of the moment, he has
borne himself under the tragic and
awful emergency like simple
kind-hearted Christian gentleman.
The part he took in the TRACY calamity
was that OF a gentle and arectionate
neighbor. His conduct last night, when
the dread news of Mr.. WINDOWS
death arrived, was just as kind,
just as sympathetic, just as I'M
studied and considcratc. IL was not the
President who hurried to that scene of
rcvclry at the Postmastcr-Generals TO
make sure that the awful tidings were
broken gently to the stricken widow and
the haplcss orphans. II was the unseliish
ncighbor, the loving friend.
As TO the indescribablc atlliclion which
has befallcn the family of the late Secre-
tary, the present seems no time and q
newspaper no suitable vehicle for cx-
pressing murc than the most formal and
conventional condolences; and these
would not reach the afflicted ones or
temper their bereavement if it did But
it is entirely fitting to note the Presidents s
part in the tragedy, and commend it to
the afToctionate recognition of the Ameri-
can people. only good and kindly man
would have felt so true and tender an inn
pulse. Only gentleman could have re-
sponded to it so delcately and so we'll.

NASHVILLE, September s -Upon
the assembling Of the Senate to day
Mr.. Stroude offered bill to declare it
a felony for those who control mines
as owners or lesses to refuse their mi
ners the legal rights which the State
provides for their protection, and to
punish judges for ignoring the com
plants of miners.
Mr.. Curtis introduced bill to APP
propriate 5000 for the support and
maintenance of the National Guard
of the State of Tennessee, or the Ar
my of Tennessee.
Mr.. West offered a bill to amend
the convict lease law.
Mr.. Thomas introduced a bill to
apportion the several counties of the
State into Senatorial and Represent
alive districts.
Mr.. Polk offered a resolution de-
claring against the sub-treasury
scheme and requesting Tennessee
Senators and Representatives in Con
gress to vote against any bill to enact
the same into law.
The resolution was adopted by a
vote of 16t to II.

Imprisonment for persons twice con-
victed of a felony was rejected.
The whipping post bill was rejected
The House joint resolution stating
that the Legislature has not the
power to abrogate the present peni-
tertiary lease was tabled. Also Mr..
Cochran's resolution declareing it to
be the desire of the General Assembly
that the convicts be not leased again
after the expiration of the present
contract.
The encouragement this morning
gave his opinion in response to a re-
quest from the House that the lesses
have no authority of law to sub-lease
lease convicts without express per-
mission of the General Assembly, and
the act authorizing the lease has no
mention of the subject. He con
cludes therefore that the lesses may
not sub-let convicts without being in
violation of law.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
An Interesting Meeting at the City Hall
Last Night.

The Board of Education held an
interesting meeting at the city hall
last night and transacted considera-
BILE business.
III. E. Beach, Jr., who has just
completed the enumeration of schol-
astic population for the district SUBJ
mitted his report. There are 1866
persons in the district, between the
ages of 6 and q, according to this re-
port. OF this number 1882 are
white and 1873 are colored.
The report of the superin-
teldent showed that there were
about 600 pupils enrolled in
Howell school and $40 in the colored
school. The colored school building
was inadequate to accommodate the
increased attendance and the lower
floor of st. Johns Baptist church was
rented and is being used as school
room. There are 900 pupils being
taught in this building and 270 in the
public school building. To meet the
increased demands in the colored
schools, therefore, Superintendent
Graham was authorized last night to
employ two additional colored teach
ers. This will be done as soon as the
teachers can be selected.
Prof. Graham's report called atten-
ton to the increased number of chill
dren in the public schools this year
whose parents are unable, financially,
to supply them with proper books.
Mr.. Hurst proposed to turn over to
Prof. Graham any old school books
that his children had completed, and
on motion the people Of GAINESVILLE
were called upon to hunt up all old
school books and give them to
Prof. Graham to be distributed
among the needy children. The
books can be left with Prof. Graham,
or if preferred he can be notified
through the mail and he will send
for them. This is a good move and
the citizens should respond to the
call. Nearly every family in the
city can furnish some books that their
children have completed, and in do
ing this they will aid children, in less
favorable circumstances, to gain an
education.
Prof. Graham was instructed to
purchase rubber for stairways in
Howell school, and the Board adj
journed.

ing clothing that their children have
out-grown that they will give to this
cause, or any person wishing to make
a donation, will confer a favor by
communicating with Mrs. Wood.

should meet with hearty response
from the citizens.

here on his way to Conference; he
stopped over to introduce a valuable
little book of his own, entitled GLOW

that very many people need. This
would be a mighty good world to
live in but for the ways of Old Nick,
who is exceedingly troublesome, and
to get rid of him is the important con-
sideration in this life. Mr.. Kemper
is a Methodist divine and impresses
one as pious, good man. The book,
however, is not sectari IN. 1t is
neatly printed, contains l2S pages,
and is sold for 25 cents.
