THE LATEST NOVEL.

Is by a Southern Author and a
graduate of MaryvilIe College, now
teachers in Holbrook Normal
College at Fountain City, near
Knoxville. In THE SHADOW OF
THE ALEXANDRA, or THE LAST OF
THE MOORISH KINGS" is the title
of the book by w. M. Greenlee.
Through the courtesy of Mr.
Greenlee, The editor received a
c. by of his book and having care
fully read ii we can honestly say it
is one of the most Interesting and
instructive books it has been our
pleasure to read. The author has
written with the authority of re.
search, having worked for-more
than ten years upon its prepare
ton. Six of these years were spent
in Europe and in the Moslen coun-
tries of Asia, in the examination of
Arabic sources of history.
The story is designed to illustrate
the most fascinating period in
Spanish history, that connected
with the expulsion of the Moorish
power from the Peninsula. The
characters are, for the most part
historic, and the true order OF
events is accordingly maintained
throughout. The chief events OF
the eleven years, war of Ferdinand
and Isabella against the MoOrs, are
distinctly brought forth Although
the story closes with the second
siege of Lola in 1856, it is clearly
shown that the battles up to that
time. were the decisive battles of
the war and the fate of Grenada
was sealed.
While the story by adhering so
closely to history, Is thus calcu'
lated to instruct US in the times
about which it treats, and inspires
love for all history, 1T the same
time it is also a story Of absorbing
interest, considered purely from the
standpoint of the romance. 1t
weaves an interesting story around
each prominent person and event,
thus impressing them on or smiIyi
and eau sing them to stay with us
longer than the bare mention OF
facts wonld.
The horrors of the Inquisition
under the great Torquemado are
unfolded, and this brilliant tourha'
ments of1he Moors in the valley
of the Renal are graphically por
trayed. AS we follow the chief
characters Christian and Moorish
we are now inclined to sympa.
thize with the first in their struggle,
to rid their land of eight centuries
of oppression, and now to pity
those upon whom vengeance for
centuries Of wrong is SO signally
taken. We are forced, in spite OF
ourselves, to wish that Musa the
valient support of the unfortunate
Boabdil, might have succeeded in
his efforts to restore the glorious
days of the Cordovan Cailiphs
when the Moorish power had
reached its height.
The book is inspiring in every
sense, and should be found in every
home, especially here in Maryville
where DIR. Greenlee attended
School. Its English. is pure and in
cOnciseness of expression and in the
beauty of its diction the work viii
rank with those of Irving. 1t con-
tains 537 pages, printed on good pa

CIRCuMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
The London "South End Mystery" to Close
With the Hanging of Read.

The London "soutb End Mystery" to Close
With the Hanging of Read.
1t is many months since London and
oil England have been aroused to such
unanimous interest in criminal trial
as that manifested in the solution of
what has been known since June last as
the south end mystery. A young mar
ried man in comfortable circumstances
named Read has been tried for the MUIR
der of Florence Dennis, Q young wom-
an with whom he had improper rela-
tions. Her body was found in lone
some spot, and there was no direct evil
dence to connect Read with the crime.
1t was principally his reckless. unsup-
ported denials and the extraordinary
story of his deprayity in many direc-
tions that finally resulted in his convic-
tion and sentence to death.
1t was proved that he was i'll the
neighborhood of the murder when he
asserted he was 90 miles away. 1t was
alsoshown that he had similar relations
with several other women, and that the
murdered girl was about to become the
mother of his child. Nevertheless the
evidence was not sufficient to convict in
an American court, and the prisoner
reaffirmed his innocence in strong Ian
guage before the death sentence was pro-
nounced upen him. He will be hanged.

was not dressed as brides usually are.
She wore plain dark dress, was bare
headed, her long black tresses hanging
in an almost disheveled mass down
her back She wore no gloves, had no
orange blossoms and carried no BRIDES
roses in her hand. 1t was a simple cere-
mony. The girl, who had remained sit
ting until General Clay and the magis-
trate arose, got up from the divan and
took her place beside her white headed
bridegroom. 1t was touching scene
The man who had led admiring thou
sands in crusade for human liberty,
who in his youth was a perfect Apollo
Belvidere in appearance, if not a Ma
poleon in the cause of abolition, stood
as meekly as little child, with an ex-
preston of unspeakable happiness upon
his time worn but still fresh and almost
youthful features, and by his side that
simple, trusting country girl, as shy las
gazelle, knowing as little Of the great
world in which her venerable husband
had played so conspicuous part as the
most untutored daughter of nature.
The ceremony was very brief, and when
it was over the bashful child went back
to the kitchen, and General Clay and
his family physician sat talking by the
large open fireplace, in which glowed
two bushels Of burning GOALS
And thus was celebrated one of the
most remarkable weddings that ever
took place in the United States. Lou

seems inevitable, of taking on a cargo
of ammunition and arms to be taken to

Mazatlsn to San Benito on the same
trip.
/. Captain A!ejandro Cerisole OF the
Oaxaca would not admit that such was
the purpose of his visit here, and reiter-
ated that the vessel was simply under
going repain, and that she would then
await orders from the department. of
marine. He said that he was dissp-
pointed, however, in not find ing every.
thing that he desired to outfit the ship.

Florence Biytse's Millions.

Florence Blythe-Hinckley has virtu-
ally come into possession Of the large
estate which contestants in the Califor-
MIA courts 80 resolutely tried to wrest
from her. Generally speaking, it is
worth from $4,000, 900 to SIS, 900, 600.
1t consists of a San Francisco block,
80, 900 acres of land in San Diego corln-
ty, "a, 900 acres of land in Mexico, ad-
joining California, and an interest in
1900, 900 acres of land in Mexico. Just
what the Blythe estate interest in these
1900. 900 acres is will have to be de-
cided by the Mexican courts. A suit
has been brought to determine the size
of the Blythe interest in the largo tract
of land. There is also S125, 900 in cash
on hand belonging to the estate. This
will go principally to pay the expenses

THE MATCHMAKING QUEEN.
She May Not Be Physically Strong, but I

She May Not Be Physically Strong, but Is
Able to Arrange Convenient Marriages.
Queen Victoria is said to be getting
increasingly feeble in her powers of To-
comotion and has to be carried up stairs
or the smallest rise of ground. But
whatever may be her physical condition
her mental powers are absolutely unim-
paired, and her capacity for work is
undiminished. She takes increased in
terest, too, in matchmaking, and has of
late repeatedly expressed her opinion
that the poorer princes Of the younger
branches Of the royal house of Eng
land ought to marry into the wealthy
aristocracy Of Great Britain as Prince
Adolphus Of Teck has just DONE
This young man has certainly done a
wise thing by choosing as his wife the
daughter Of the Duke of Westminster,
the richest peer in England. Few peo-
pie outside the two families and the
lawyers are likely to possess trustworthy
information respecting the settlements
in this match, but rumor has it that the
duke has provided dowry Of $500, 900
besides settling $25, 900 year upon the
young couple. 1t may be said with alb
solute certainty that the prince has
brought nothing into the settlement be-
yond life insurance policies and posi-
bly, few thousands provided by the
queen, with whom he Is deservedly a
great favorite.
1t is no disgrace to the Duke Of Teck
to say that he lives well up to and prob
ably considerably beyond his income,
especially since the future king of Eng
land became his son-in- law. London

The excitement over the spy mania
