Senator Harris Obstinacy Helped to Launch

How Senator Harris came to enter po-

ed away back in 1s47. In one of the state
senatorial districts in Tennessee two Dem
ocrats were in the field, while the Wings
were united upon one candidate. This
meant the defeat of both Democrats unless
one of them would withdraw. A crowd of
gray headed Democrats waited upon Mr..
Harris.
"If you will announce yourself as can
didate," said they, lit will force conven-
ton or primary, one man will be named,
and split in the party will be averted."
Into the fight went Mr.. Harris. He
appealed to the rival candidates to draw
straws, pitch heads or tails, have a prima-
ry, do anything that would leave the field
open to one or the other. They would not
do it. A meeting was held. Mr.. Harris
took one candidate by the hand, led him
to the front of the platform and said, "If
you will withdraw, will. "

Mr. Harris took the other man, brought
him into the view of the people and made
the same proposition to him. He also re-
fused.
All the obstinacy of Mr.. Harris nature
was aroused ''Then 1 will stay in my
SELF said he, land I will beat all three
of you-two Democrats and one Whig.''
And he did it. He had majority of
$50 votes, the largest ever polled in that
district. While he was III the legislature

made presidential elector.

called his attention to it and was about to

tell the story, so lightly had it rested on

at school, said the gentleman as the other
laughed. you know that boys do not
always happen to carry handkerchiefs at

An extraordinary event led Lassone,
physician to Louis XVI of France, to
abandon his anatomical studies. While
selecting from among some dead bodies a
suitable subject for dissection he imagined
that one of them showed doubtful signs
OF death and sought to revive life which
was perhaps not extinguished. His efforts
were crowned with success. He cured the
man, and as he was poor nourished and
supported him, but the idea of having
been on the point of committing crime
so affected Lassone that he felt himself
unable to pursue his accustomed labors,
and from that time forward the study of
natural history and chemistry took the
place of that of anatomy.-New York Ad-
