mon on "Tattling" at NeapOlis Sunday

One Hundred MiIIions Involved.

NEW ORLEANS, July 19.-The Plea
yune's West Point, Miss, special
says: A suit involving property worth
over 800, ,OO0, 900 will shortly be filed
in the courts of New York City, and
Col. HI. Clay King, of Memphis, and
Mr.. Il. G.. King, of this city, his
brother, are deeply Interested i'll that
to a large number of people in Tennes-
see, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas,
relatives of these gentlemen.
The suit is for the recovery of prop
erty leased to the city of New York
ninety-nine years ago; the lease has
lust expired. Ninety-nine years ago
Robert Edwards, at that time large
real estate owner in the city OF New
YORK, leased to the city, for the term
of ninety-nine years, considerable
amount of real estate, on which
Broadway and several adjacent streets
for some distance are now located,
the lease specifying that at the end OF
the lease the property, with all Its
improvements, should revert to his
heirs. He died bachelor, leaving
an only brother as his heir. That
brother died, leaving one child,
daughter, as his heir. The daughter
married the grandfather of Col. I'll.
Clay King, and, as q matter OF course,
her descendants are the heirs to that
property.
The King family have in their
possession all, the dOcumentsnecessary
to prove a clear title to the property
in question, and as the lease has just
expired suit is to be commenced at
once to recover possession of the
property. Mr.. Il. g. King, of this
city, yesterday mailed to Mr.. Nc
Leary, the attorney for the heirs, his
power OF attorney, and rs soon as a
power of attorney can be obtained
from all the known descendants Of
the Edwards family, suit will be insti-
tuted.
Mr.. McLeary has associated with
him another prominent attorney, and
they are 80 confident that the case
can be pushed to successful issue
for their clients that they have agreed
to bear all the costs of the case for a
certain per C mt. of what they get for
the heirs. The whole number of the
heirs is now not known, but even IL
there were one thousand OF them, it
would still mean magn ificent for
tune for all concerned. Mr.. Kings
many friends in this city are more
than pleased to hear of his pFosPee-
tive good fortune, and he Is some
what elated over 1t himself.

/. Mr.. EDIToR:-We were glad to see
"Verna Villiers" back at her post as
correspondent from Culleoka; we love
to read her items; her trip up the Ten
nessee River, to Pittsburg landing, is
faithfully and we'll told; we have
travelled over the same water and

what Miller & Pennington did, will
give that also.
Mr.. Samuel Bingham, our clever Post
Master at Hampshire, and a very polite

partiality with his customers unless II

Talk VS.. Facts.

Fort Worth Gazette: The weak
ness of the Farmers Alliance in poll
tics is evidenced by the outcome of
the political contest in Mississippi.
They started out to beat Senator
George, and made their boasts that
they would "hang his hide on the
fence" George met them before the
people, and so far he has obtained
fOrty-six legislative candidates, while
the Alliance can count only twenty
one. His hide is still hanging very
comfortably OH him, insteadof adorn-
ing q fence.

A MIefrsrsonian,, Ideal.

Editor COLUMBIA HERALD. ~ ~ EW
With no fairer subject, could you
nave ornamented the attractive col
umns, OF your inteI esting paper, than
with model Wife" In my esti-
nation q model wife is a woman that
improves, betters, and eleVates the
condition of her husband. A wife
that never indulges in a conversation
that may not meet with the approval
of her husband and avoids disputes,
that she may not be the cause of a
live embodiment of daily cOntradic-
tiOns. A wife that makes home what
home should be, to such extent that
when the husband anXiOusiy reaches
the house he realizes that he is with
in the sacred walls of complete happi-
ness, freedom and content; pleasant
smiles may be the approaching man
ner of a model wife; smiles at some
popular play however, must not be
encouraged. While religious belief
may claim it's dutiful share, it is my
opinion however, that the wife of
model thoughts, expresses her ad-
miratiOn for everything that's nobl' ,
and reasonable, friendly feelings, to-
wards humanity at large. Truth and
love should be the religion of model
wife, prejudice, hypocrisy, known as
modern policy, is by no means prac-
ticed by a model wife. Any husband
possessing a better half of above men
toned requirements, enjoys the
reality of a Model Wife.

Milton, in his paradise Lost" has
immOrtaiized her in heroic verse As
the "sole partner" of Adams Joys.
She is par-excellence a eOoBaan
such as God made her, help-meet, a
woman Of fortitude and tender sym
pathy; not a cold hearted thing such
as society sometimes produces. She
is q help-meet indeed; in adversely
and in prosperity, in sickness and in
health, in sorlo and in Joy, in woe
and in veal. When she once loves,
she knows not another love, but clings
to him whom at the sacred altar she
vowed by the Highest Authority to
love, cheris' and obey, through veal
and throug. woe, all the while sus-
tanning him as the vine clings to the
oak, interlacing his very inward beng
with the warmest affections OF her
ardent soul, inspiring him with the
same elements of her own make UP ;
and bearing him up when the storms
of life, financial and otherwise, would
wreck him. Thus, as the weaker,
she proves to be the stronger. She
recC gnizes no law on divorce but the
Divine one. She scOTns the thought
OF being a party to divorce suit, and
of appearing in courtroom. she
contemns the present prevalence OF
divorces as degrading to society by
originating and encouraging free
lovism and its long train Of evils
