was made particularly joyous by the
presence of a parrot belonging tc

canaries and mocking birds, and, as
a couiosity, the parrot. 1t was a
good parrot for talk, and on this &C.
alton it seemed to enter into the
spirit of the affair.
There was a number of addresses
delivered, but the parrot was not on
the programme for an address. Its
voice was heard all the same. Tho
school had just finished that touching
song from Gospel Hymns, No. 2,
called "Still There's More to Follow"
when tho parrot thought it was time
to say something. Poking its head
between the bars he looked sharply
1t the superintendent and said in a
clear tenor voice. 1.-TWO beers there,
and a pretzcl." The children laugh

shouted. "Get onto the bum .+atin'

more, and their hilarity was furthc,
increased when the parrot laughed a
funny. "Haw, haw, haw!" and said,
slave one with me!'
There was a pause in the hilarity
engendered by the birds quaint
and entirely mis6t remarks shortly
afterward, and, a young lady, wear
ing a new spring bonnet, came to
the front of the platform to sing q
solo. As the organist touched up a
few notes of the prelude, the parrot
caught sight Of the sweet singer, and
said in a tone of the. most ravishing
delight, "Oh mamma, buy me that!"
All during the exercises there.
after, the bird kept calling for spapa"
and "mamma," and c~onversinp in a
confidential way with the boys near
the cage, telling them to "pay for
their sandwich" and !"there are flies
on YOU"
As a last resort the parrot was re-
moved to the 'ante-room, where it
had a good time whistling "Annic
Roney" and the "Razzlc Dazzle"
and "a Brass Monkey" 1t wound
up by yelling "Firc! 6rc!. Here
comes the Good Will! Jump her,

ceedings out of the usual line were insti-
tuted in the Circuit Court, to-day. by An
drew j. Bowers. Mr.. Bowers is q native of
Richmond, Va. He asks the court TO annul
o marriage ceremony performed between
him and Emma B. Bigelow. on the ground
that he already had wife when he was

that be had to marry Miss Bigelow or be
murdered and that the fact that he had q
wife at the time was known to Miss
Bigelow and her family. The bill alleges
that on Tuesday last, while standing at
Calvert and Lombard streets, Mr. Bowers
was approached by the father and brother
of Miss Bigelow, who compelled him at
the muZZle of pistol to enter a carriage
with them. They were driven to the house
of the Bigelows. where Mr.. Bowers was
placed in a room. The elder Bigelow kept
guard with pistol, it is claimed. while
his son procured marriage license for Mr..
Bowers and Miss Bigelow and minister to
perform the ceremony. The record of the

of O few American sailors as n very trifling

the United States should have taken
official notice of the matter, which they
speak of lightly as a sailors fight. Re-
ports of the intendente of Valparaiso say
there were twenty thousand men engaged

Case Involving Over $7,000,000.

LANSING, Mich, Dec. 23.-The Michigan
Supreme Court day rendered q decision
involving greater money value directly
than any before in its history. In 1871 the
State brought suit against the Flint &

grant of 1857. under which the road had
been in undIsputed possession of tho land
for twenty eight years. The State secured
verdict in the court below, but coming TO
this court the decision is unanimously set
aside. The court says the lapse OF time that
the State has slept upon its
rights effectually stops it from obtaining
title. and that 1t has claim

ONE of the greatest statesmen ol the present generation is John G. Carlisle of Kentucky. His opinions upca matters of party policy IS worth something. No one can ques' ton his ability, honesty or devotion to the interest of the people. Hear him;
 "I have DO hesitation in saying that the democracy should keep the tariff to the front. It is the great is- sue Of the day, and on it the fight should be made. Upon it the party Is united, and can make a confident and aggressive battle. The party is not united on the free coinage of silver, and It would be suicidal to ssdyance 1t to position of equal Im portance with the trritf. But this will not, in my opinion, be done. Nothing can get in front of the other paramount question. Even with Tree coinage, if the drain on the peo- pie produced by high prices is con tinued, hsw are they benefittedf Their money gill still be wrung From them through custom house exactions."

To THE PATRONS OF HECTOR SCHOOL:
 The first term of the free school closes on the 25th of this month, and unless the people want subscrip- tion school, there will be vacation of two months before the free school commences again. But if sub scription school is desired, we will say for the benefit of pupils In this and adjoining districts, that the fol- lowing branches of study will be taken up in addition to the common branches, towit: Civil Government, Bookkeeping, Physiology, Penman- ship and Drawing, should any desire the same. And we ask the young people of this section to give this matter careful consideration, and should you take advantage of this opportunity, the results will prove far greater gains to you in the flu ture than picking cotton at 90 and 60 cents per cwt. But if the people do not desire the school to continue, we have an offer from another point that we must accept. So fl there is a disposition to continue the school, patrons, we ask your hearty c,'-oper- ation, and we are willing to remain,

TIE Tennessee legislature IS no nearer solution of the convict lease question than when it convened ov CT three weeks ago. Each house has formulated measure intended to meet the issue. but as they differ radically in scope and method, neither house being disposed to yield for a compromise, the chances are that an adjournment wlll be reached without arriving at an un- derstanding. In such event the question will be relegated to the people for solution in the campaign of next year.
