War on Blind Tigers.

DICKSON, Aug. yesterday w. ].
Conaut while intoxicated and sleeping
under freight car on the Nashville,
Chattanooga e. st. Louis Railway, was
run over and injured. He died yester-
day afternoon of his injuries. The &C
cident so aroused the people against the
''blind tigers" in which liquor is sold
illegally, that mass-meeting of the
most energetic and influential citizens
was held to take some immediate steps
to suppress the ''blind tigers" which
have been running rife for the past
twelve months.
Messrs. J. R. Bryan, William Mullan,
Revs. Kayce, Cole and others addressed
the meeting. A committee was APP
pointed, consisting of S. r. Bryan, J. D.
Gary, J. X. Davis, j. f. Alexander,
William Murrell, A. j. Allen and W..
w. Smith, to wait on the law-breakers
and demand that they box up their in
toxicants and ship them away at once,
and if they failed to comply to warn
them that they would be made to do it.
The committee went to work at once,
entered the house of c. Ray, mer-
chant, and rolled out two kegs of liquor
and five or six dozen cases of bottled
beer in the presence of 500 people. They
then waited on Bill Moore, colored, and
took possession of his premises and found
about half gallon of the denomination
known as forty rod" and this they
confscated.

or convention was memora ble-eightee
thousand under one roof, all young,
all clean, all self-respecting, all on fire
with zeal. At the same time half :

and pray and exhort, here, there and

transformed into a camp-meeting.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.


CONVICTION, Aug. 1s.-The fifteenth
annual reunion of Confederate veterans
was held at Brighton today. The crowd
was immense, and estimated all the way
from 5000 to 10000. About SOD old
veterans formed line near the grounds,
under the command of Marshal A. w.
Smith, and marched to the grand stand,
where DR.. F. L. Ewing, eof Covington,
opened the exercises of the day by an
appropriate invocation of the blessing
of God.
Col. Luke w. Finley, of Memphis,
then introduced Gen. William b. Bate,
the orator of the day, who delivered a
mastery and eloquent defense of the
South and the Lost Cause. He ac-
knowledged himself indebted to the
people of Tennessee for honors and
political preferment but insisted that
he was prouder of his four years service
as Confederate soldier than any and
all of the honors the people of his State
had been pleased to, bestow. He COM
mended the purpose of these reunions
and urged the erection of a suitable
monument at our county seat to per-
petuate the memory and courage of
those who had fallen in defense of the
Southland. 1t mattered not whether
they fell at Bull Run or Bentonville,
they were none the less heroes. E
He reviewed the history of the war
and the causes which led to it. He APP
plauded the courage and endurance OF
the Southern soldiers, which, he said,
won the admiration of the world in
maintaining for four long years such an
unequal contest. He claimed that
while the cause had gone down in defeat
and rivers of blood had been shed, and
millions of wealth destroyed. yet the
war had not been without beneficial re-
suits. Our honor had been maintained,
Capitalization of government dethroned
and the autonomy of the States pre-
served. The Senator showed from the
history of the United States that to
Southern patriotism we are largely in
debted for our present independence
and liberties, and to Southern states
manship and diplomacy we owe all our
territorial acquisitions, which have
made the republic the greatest among
nations. At the conclusion the speaker
was presented with beautiful bouquet.
which called forth deserved eulogy of
the women of the South, and their SER
vices during the war.
Dinner was then announced, and an
adjournment had for two hours. In the
afternoon the Confederate Memorial AS
ISOLATION met at the Brighton Academy
building nearby, where the annual cleo
ton of officers was held. Col. William
Sanford. OF Covington, was made presi-
dent; Josiah Forsythe, of Brighton,
vice-president; Col. j. U. Green, of Gov
ington, secretary, and Capt. j. A. Croft
ford, of Memphis, treasurer.
The next reunion will be held at the
same place on the second Thursday in
August, 1893. All in all, it was most
enjoyable occasion.

HOMES OF THE JELLYBYs.
Many American Families Who Copy After
Those Famous People.

Looking at some ''ciuttered up
households we were reminded of the
philanthropic Mrs. Jellyby's family,
who, if they had possessed the entire
space of st. Paul's for a habitation,
would only have found it to be so much
more room tc be untidv in. People
who are untidy in a small house are
likely to be still more untidy in big
one. Few of us can always achieve
that comfortable doctrine of a place
for everything and everything in it's
place. The first part of the saying is
about as far as good many get. But
there is no question of its being the
only rule for comfortable housekeep-
ing. Take a small sitting-room, dis
tribute about it two or three newspa-
pers, box of toys; a work-basket, a
few unmended stockings, and perhaps
hat or coat, and what a miserable,
untidy place it looks.
Nor is it right for the house mother
to go about picking up after the care
less ones. Let each member of the
household learn that things must always
be bestowed in their proper places,
without trusting to the one tireless
worker to straighten things up. The
boys who always expect mother" to
do their tidying up. grow into the men
who must be waited on so constantly
by their wives. Nor is it only the boys
who need a lecture in this respect.
How many girls we know who slam
down their hats and jackets on remov-
ing them, without thought of laying
them away.
How often the best frock is careless
ly put aside instead of being shaken
out and put by carefully. And then
they wonder that their clothes so soon
look shabby. A well-cared for gar.
ment will outlast two that are Just
slammed around, and next to getting
good clothes come taking care of them.

And jewels and gold had been all for her,
Since the world began!
Where is his memory? Let him survey
The masculine half of our glorious race
From the first the savage that painted his

To the dude of to-day.
"Vanity?' Oh! are the twists and curls,
The intricate patterns in red, black and
The wearisome torture of rich tattoo,
Just made for girls?
Is it only the squaw who files the teeth.
And bangles the lips and bores the ear,
And wears bracelet and necklet and ank-
AS the bones beneath?
Look at the soldiers, the nobles the kings,
Egypt or Greece or Rome discloses-
The purples and perfumes and gems and
roses
On masculine things!
Look at the men of the long Dark Ages:
Heroes, too, in their cloth of gold
With jewels as thick as the cloth could
hold.
On the knights and pages.

But there was time when the warrior
Tied the toe of his shoe to his manly knee

But it's not so long, let me venture to state,
Since every gentleman shaved his pate
And wore a wig!

THE sEcKEL PEAR.
It Grew for More than Fifty Years With
out Having Been Tasted.

HE who discovers a new dish con-
fers a greater benefit on mankind than
he who discovers a new star" says a
famous writer, and the majority OF
persons would be willing to accept the
statement without dissent, says the
Youths Companion. Five miles from
philadelphia, at the confluence OF the
Delaware and Schuyikill rivers. there
is a fine old place, once known as the
Lawrence Seckel estate. afterward the
property of Stephen Girard. In the
time of the Seckels the abundance and
variety of its fruit. especially its flne
pears, made the place famous. Not
many years ago there was still stand
ing in a corner of the grounds an old
pear-tree-a very patriarch among the
trees, and the most celebrated of them
all. For more than half-century the
fruit of this tree was not tasted. No
one thought of eating the Insignificant
pears-not much larger than marbles
and the tree was contemned as worth
| less, while Its fruit rotted on the
ground or was eaten by COWS or goats.
Mr.. Seckel, Lawrence's father, threaten
ed many times to cut down the tree,
but years passed and it stood. biding
its time.
How it came there or who planted
it no one knew. Lawrence Seckel
came into possession of the estate, and
the pear tree. being in sense an an
cient landmark, was allowed to stand.
although the owner had it in mind to
cut it down some time. One afternoon
in early fall Mr.. Seckel was returning
from long walk and chanced to pass
beneath the worthless tree. He stood
for a minute resting in its shade. Sud-
deuly pear dropped. struck him upon
the head, from which he had removed
his hat. and rolled into his open palm.
Half automatically he fumbled the
fruit between his fingers. and was in
the act of throwing it away when it
occurred to him to bite it. '.Ah, the
flavor of that pear" Mr.. Seckel used
to say. in telling the incident; Il had
thought myself a connoisseur in pears,
but i had never tasted the equal OF
that aforetime despi,ed little fruit. y
Thus was the Seckel pear discovered.
That Y ear the pears were not left to
rot on the ground or - feed cows and
goats. They became the favorite on
Mr.. Seckers table. Scions from the
} tree were soon in demand, and the
Seckel pear has now become favorite'
