THE DEMON OF FIRE.
Our Beautiful Temple of Justice Mar
rowIy Escapes Destruction.

But for the timely discovery of
fire in the county registers's Office
at an early hour last Friday eve
ming, our beautiful courthouse,
which is the pride of every man,
woman, and child in Benton Coun-
ty, would now be mass of ruins,
and papers and records of untold
value destroyed.
Fortunately County Clerk Steele
was engaged in his Office, which
adjoins that of the registers, and
he made the discovery just in time
to save the building The damage
sustained is,not 50 serious as at first
supposed. Several of the records
were scorched, and some valuable
papers, besides desk and tableware
destroyed. The lower part of the
window, and the wainscoting below,
were badly charred and a large hole
burned in the floor.
Speculation is rife as to the ORR
gin of the fire, but it is known that
there had been no fire in the office
since the Tuesday previous.
There is an old prediction still
in force that some of these fine
mornings the peaceful citizens Of
Camden will be aroused to the fact
that about one-half or two-thirds Of
the buildings around the public
square will be in ashes.
BY way of a precautionary meas
ure it has been suggested that the
citizens of the town organize a hook
and ladder company and a bucket
brigade. The necessity of carrying
out the suggestion at the earliest
possible moment has been made APP
parent, and we supplement it by
urging the appointment of a night
Waterman at once patrol the town.

ANENT the troubles that were ex-
perienced with the miners in East
Tennessee, comes the report that
secret communications were being
exchanged then and now with the
miners of Alabama and Georgia
concerning the same question. AS
Georgia has about one thousand
convicts at work in mines that are
within few miles of the Tennessee
line, the penitentiary authorities of
that State are greatly alarmed for
fear the East Tennessee minerswho,
released the convicts at Briceville
and Coal Greek may take it into their
heads toswoopdown on Georgia and
repeat the operation at Coal City
and Chickamauga. Officers at the
camps mentioned and the military
companies of that State have orders
to hold their men in readiness and,
keep theirpowder dry, but it is gen.
orally believed, however, that there.
is very little ground for a scare.

FROM EAGLE GREEK.

Regular correspondence
Rain is yet badly needed in this
part of the moral vineyard.
Forest fires are still raging, do
ing considerable damage in some
parts.
The new steam-mill at Matlock's
Chapel will probably be ready for
grinding Saturday.
Mr.. M. J.. Phillips and family of
Pavatt's Landing, were guests of
James W. Matlock, Sunday.
Misses Paralee and Alice Miller,
Of Coxburgh, we're guests of Mrs.
Adeline Thomson Saturday and
Sunday.
Crop gathering is so light with
some of our farmers, that they have
time to get out timber for market,
which is one of the surest means of
raising money we have now.
Mr.. Henry Miller, of Coxburgh,
who had a surgical operation per
formed on his toe to remove a can
Ger, is no better. The operation
caused considerable loss of blood
leaving him very weak.

EX-GOVERNOR MARKS DEAD.

Universal regrets from all parts
of the State have followed the an
nouncement last week of the death
of Ex-Governor ALBERT S. MARKS.
Called suddenly away while in the
prime of his usefulness, his death
was a shock to the entire State.
From his youth he was a sound and
active Democrat, a gallant Confed-
crate soldier, a fine lawyer, a just
man, and possessedof every element
Of that high character which elevat-
ed him to the front rank of Tennes-
sees statesmen. He was thorough
ly identified with the interest of his
State, and had been in consultation
with Governor BUCHANAN in regard
to the mining troubles in East Ten
nessee the day previous to his sud.
den andunexpected death. He had
a host of warm friends throughout
the State who will find his place
hard to fill.

THE CHRONICLES prediction that
all the buster at Washington and
the alarming news sent out from
Chill was unduly magnifed by the
administration for campaign pur-
poses, has been verified. But the
greatest fake announced in connec-
ton with the CHILEAN affair was the
yarn about blowing up the cruiser
Baltimore at Valparaiso. 1t came
too late, however, to be of any adj
vantage to the Republicans during
last weeks elections.

About the Whe at Outlook,

Last year of the wheat exported to coun :
tries growing less than they needed
America supplied one-fourth and Russia
and India thTee-fourths. The outlook
for the present year is that the United
States will have to supply at least one
half, or twice the amount exported last
year, or somebody is going to 60 without
wheat.
The latest estimates place the wheat
shortage at i20, coo, 900 bushels, and the
apparent supply to meet this want from
exporting countries at 3SU, 600 600 BUSH
els or 50, 0O0,000 bushels short Of the re-
quirements. In this estimate the United
States is credited with an exportable sur
plus of 152 900, 600, Canada 5000, 600, and
the Argentine Republic with ,OOO, 200,
total American surplus Of 165, ZOO, 900
bushels, leaving Russ ia, India, Hun gary,
Turkey in Asia, Egypt and Northern Af-
rica to supply the rest.
AS the American crop has been prin-
pally harvested in good order, there is lit
tie doubt of our ability to supply at least
150, 100000 bushels, and if the total crop
is 32.OO0,O0O short of the demand, the
wheat farmers ofthe United States should
be able to say something about the price
for which they will sell. The American
farmer seems to be in it this year.

They Always Get the Worst of It.

Why is it, when cable car
Comes rolling down the street,
And strikes mule within the ribs,
And lifts him off his feet
That the car will get the worst of it:
| Why is it, when big fat boy,
With stomach made of steel,
Takes little apple from tree,
And eats it core and peel.
That the boy will get the worst of it?
Why is it, when the young man tries
To show his fondest "mash,".
That she can't eat as much Ice cream
AS he can pay for cash,
That the young man gets the worst OF it
Why Is it, at the clearinghouse,
When you would argufy
Against "the leather steak
And IRON bottomed pie"
That you will always get the worst of it
Why is it, Oh, why is it, say,
That, go where'er you can,
From end to end of this green earth,
Sure pop, it's the wrong man
Who always gets the worst of it?

An Ancient Burial Chamber.

In the neighborhood of Stonehenge,
England, mound exists which anti
quarians had long suspected to be a
barrow" A trench has now been cut
through the center of it, laying bare,
at a depth of four feet, large slab.
This stone formed the cover of a burial
chamber, the sides and ends of which
were composed of smaller stones set
on edge. The interior was filled with
black loan, surrounding the skeleton
of a man. who must have been six feet
in height. At the right hand of the
remains a sword and aspear-head were
found, while tht> bones of the left hand
grasped a shield, the convex side of
which is incised with characters unde-
cipherable through age. On further
examination it was found that the
knee-joints of the skeleton were sur
rounded by osseous growths uniting
the upper and lower parts OF the leg
into one continuous limb.-N I. Post.

Less than 4 ,O00, 900 pounds Of the total
product comes from other states.
The bulletin would be more interesting
and instructive if it gave comparative sta
tistics. The product for 1879, the next
preceding census year, is no: stated, nor
the product of other countries for any
year. The compiler states in general
terms that the country made great pro-
gress in the production of copper during
the last decade, and that in this respect it
outstrips "by far any other country"
| II these facts were known to the compil-
er he might at least have stated the total
production of this country in 1879 and
the production of other leading copper
producing countries for some recent year.
We are told that "during the decade
Arizona and, later, Montana have be-
this we may infer that our production has
at least doubled, since those two produc-
ed much more than half the total product
in 1889. No data are given for even
a guess as to the proportion of the worlds
entire product taken from our mines.
However, an increase of more than no.
uOO, ZOO pounds from our mines within ten
years would serve to account for a consid-
cradle decline in price In spite of the
greatly enlarged demand for this metal
due to the extensive introduction Of elec-
trio motors during the decade.
Another point upon which the bulletin
gives no information is the value of the
product. The cost of production is gwen
in detail, but there is nothing from which
to form any estimate of the profits. We
are told that the total expenditure involv-
ed in the production of the 226, 900, 900
pounds and upward in 1887 was $l2,O62,-
$50. This includes wages, salaries,
amounts paid 10 contractors, for mater
iaIs and supplies, taxes, rent, etc. five
assume that the product brought an av-
erage of 10 cents pound at the mines,
there was left over $40, 900 900 for profit.
which is pretty fair on a nominal capital
of $62 ,623 22S, and an actual capital. if
Mr.. Butterworth was rightly informed
when he made a certain speech in the
house, of perhaps one fifth that sum.
Ten cents pound is low estimate of
the value of the product for 1889. But
even taking that low estimate it canrotbe
pretended that the infant copper industry
needed any tariff prote ction whatever to
enable those engaged in its production to
pocket very handsome profits Chicago

Renl-that and a head of Christ by him

Renl-that and head of Christ by him
are very striking. There were works Of
Titan, Rembrandt, Rubens, Tintoretto.
Velasquez, Murillo, Gainesborough, Rey-
nolds, Lumer, and other names that
knew, and scores that did not know.
Of all the many pictures we passed there
are only a few that shall remember, A
''Holy Family" by Murillo, and head of
Christ by Belllni, enjoyed most. Com
ing back we had another of those jolly
rides on top of the bus. There was just
room for us all, with no one else, and we
sat and ate Strawberries and gazed around
us. The berries are very large and firm
better than ours-and were four pence
(eight cents per pound.
