THE TENNESSEE MINERs.-Thele
was no trouble at Coal Creek or Oliver
Springs, Tennessee, on Sunday. War
den Faris, of Oliver Springs, thinks the
outlook ominous, however, and desires
military guards. a report reached
Nashville from Jellico that 900 miners
met there Sunday night and swore to
wipe out Coal Creek and Oliver Springs
before next Saturday night.
Capt. Brown. of the White Side rifles,
company B, third regiment, arrived in
Chattanooga Sunday night and cor
roborated the story of midnight at
tack on the troops at Camp Anderson,
near Coal Greek, Saturday night. \
force of miners bushwacked the senti-
mel on the advanced post, and on his
retreat followed him in and fired on the
camp guard. A hot skirmish followed
with no casualties or the side of the
troops. Capt. Brown is after arms, am
muntion and recruits

Sullivan ANA Corbctt.

John l.. Sullivan put in hard days
work punching the bag and skipping
the rope at his quarters in New Or
leans yesterday. He displayed Won
derful agility, and those present, who
had seen him ut labor before the Xii
rain fight, remarked that he was as good
Us he ever was. Professor sSadler says
the alarm about Sullivan's girth is
groundless. 1t is true that the cham
p;on is large about the stomach, but rs
lie is inclined to be swayhacked, the
stomach is bound to protrude. it
would he unnatural ii it did not. 9th
crs say that the looseness of flesh about
the abdominal region has been worked,
sweated and rubbed down, but the
clean outline of muscles is not appar-
ent. \ broad abdominal belt is bacilled
about the champion when he is at his
case. and is removed when he strips
for his rubbimgs.
Corbett has served a notice on the
Olympic Club that, unless Sullivan
fights according to Marquis of Queens
burg rules, there Will be no fight; that
is to say, Sullivan will have to show
bare flesh from his waist up. Corbett
and his friends claim that il is Sullivan's
intention to have his stomach b?ndaged
with heavy plasters, and thus take an
unfair advantage of his opponent.

WHY THESE OLD MEN ARE GRAND.
Bismarck declares that he owes his rug
gcd old age to the practice of bathing
regularly and freely in cold water.
Gladstone ascribcs his longevity to the
simplicity and regularity of his habits.
Tennyson believes that his having Gel
cbrated his S1st birthday is due to his
not having worried or frctted over the
small affairs of life. Won Moltkc
thought his ripe old age was owing to
temperance in all the affairs Of life, and
plenty of exercise in the open air. De
Lesseps thinks he owes his advanced
age to like causes. Taking all these
life-giving agencies together and con-
sidering how easy they are of attain
ment there doesn't seem to be any
good and sufficient reason why we
should die young.

THE THIRD PARTY's strength. if it
really have any, lies in the rural parts OF
the country, the cities ard towns being
almost bare Of it. 1t really seems that
the mere fact that some people live in
the cou = renders them gullible, and
blind to what town people see at .
glance. They read the same books and
newspapers that town people do, and
they come to town and talk with town
people, and yet many Of them allow
themselves to be deceived by the gross
est ard most transparent humbues, and,
stranger still, they seem to be unable
to see that some of the legislative meas
ures they endorse, though injurious to
all. would hurt them more than any
other class of people. Why, if the
third parry stumpers were 10 MAKE
such speeches to q town, as they do e
country audiences, their grossly incor-
rect and absurd statement would be
recognized even by the boys, and they
would he ridiculed and secuted from
the stage.

An Historic House DEMoLrsHED-The
little house in which Benedict Arnold is said
to have planned his treason has just been de-
moished to make room for larger building.
1t stood on Market street, Philadelphia, and
was over one hundred and twenty-five years
cid. 1t was TO this spot that Arnold invited
Clirton's agent to he sent from New York to
meet him it was there that he lived. 4 mob
chased him to this house on account of some
unpopular measures with which he was sup.
posed to be Unidentified, and from its windows
certain celebrities of the city saw him hanged
in effigy in 17S0. Washington met Jefferson
and Hamilton in this cottage in later years
separately, in an endeavor to patch up truce
between those two statesmen.

IT APPEARS that among those who
have llocked to Homestead to take the
places of the selfdischarged strikers,
are many college graduates and bust
ness and professional men, who were
attracted there by the high wages the
strikers were receiving, and who,
though never in an iron mill before,
had intelligence enough to enable them
to acquire in a short time sufficient
skill to perform the work required OF
them, and who have already become al
most experts in the work upon which
they are engaged.

tanned the following:
IAN attempt was made in the last

If WHAT Mr. Harrison -aysin his let
ter Of acceptance in respect CT the oper-
alton of the Mckinley bill be true, then
that bill has helped the farmer by in
creasing the price Of his products, ard
helped the consumer of those products
by lowering the price he has to pay for
them; it has also made manufactures
cheap by increasing the cost fthe ma
tcrial of which they are made, and has
enabled the manufacturer to raise the
wages of his employees by lowering the
price of the articles made by them.
This shows the estimate the republican
President Of the country puts upon the
intelligence of the voters thereof.
