THE Knoxville (East Tennessee) district has long enjoyed the enviable or unenvia- ble distinction of being the only reliable Republican Congressional district in the South. Ever since the war it has sent up Republican Congressman as regularly as the election rolled round. And the Knox vile Daily Journal has for years boasted that it was the only important daily Re- publican newspaper in the South. But now come the Republicans and bend every energy toward making the Ninth Alabama District companion to the Knoxville dis trict. And since the Peoples Tribune was started the Knoxville Journal can no longer boast of being the only Republican daily in the South.

ONCE there was great famine in the land. All the countries were starving, except Egypt, which had learned valuable lessons under Joseph and had boarded up corn in the time of plenty against the years of famine. And all the nations came to Egypt to be fed. The recent dis asters by fire and wind in the great North west have cut short the corn crop. The South has been favored by nature and taught by experience, and has produced an abundant harvest of corn. Now the North west is looking to the South for it's corn, |, instead of the South looking to the North west. Fifty thousand bushels of corn has just been bought at Decatur, Ala., for shipment to Illinois, and there will be mere to follow.

THE formation of the American Protect i've Association has given rise to new word, "Apaism." It promises to be used frequently in the coming campaign. The probability is that the Democratic party will oppose Apaism, while the Republican party will encourage it. Senator Hill in his speech to the New York convention strongly condemned it, while the New York Republican convention refused to pass condemnatory resolutions. We can't see how any fair minded man could object to such men as Justice White and Senator Pat Walsh holding office. Our American institutions are certainly safe in their hands.

WOMEN IN THE CIRCUS.
PRETTY GIRLS SEEN COMPETING WITH MEN
 IN ALL IINER.

PRETTY GIRLS SEEN COMPETING WITH MEN
 IN ALL LINES.
 Even marvellous displays of strength by young and handsome woven; fearless ex- hibitions of dexterity on the ground, ex- pert gymnastic displays, ,acrobatic feats and aerial performances, also all youthful and pretty females is delightful sight this year in the Barnum & Bailey's greatest show on earth. Comely young women ride bareback horses, do manege and high school acts, ride desperate races, turn and twist themselves in marvellous contortion feats, dive into nets, execute marvellous flights through the air, lift and play with enormous weights, turn somersaults on the naked backs of speeding horses, ent ter cages of wild beasts, give side- saddle exhibitions of sperfect horsemanship, and do all all tricks and feats ever performed by man. In this connection also may be mentioned the Dahomey Amazons, those force and bloodthirsty female warriors who defed the armies of Europe, several of whom are to be seen in their native war dances in the midway connected with the ethnological congress. Other women are here, too, the wives of the Cossacks, Australians, Bur- mese, Javanese, Hindus, Esquimaux, AL gerians, Moors, Arabs, Shingalese, Rlings, Malsys, Japanese, Borneose, age and cannibal tribes, who give special exhibitions of an instructive, weird and curious character. In fact the won- derful and varied featS that this year are performed by women is something never seen before and comprises almost every conceivable human possibility. Women have largely entered the field of circus per- forinances, and in many cases are better than men performers, for they have @ natural ease and grace lacking in the sterner sex. The Barnum 6 Bailey show this year is really wonderful affair, ex- ceiling in grandeur every previous effort in the line of amusements. When such stupendous attractions as Chiko and Johanna. the only gorillas in captivity in the world, and male and female at that, are shown, with many living races of savage human beings in @ midway of huts, tents, weapons, utensils, etc., etc., in big separate tent, with cages of wild beasts, herds of elephants, camels, ponies strange giant, dwarf and pigmy animals, and hairless horses, steers with three eyes, three nostrils and three horns, with 400 horses, with a trained animal exhibition numbering thirty savage beasts in one per formance, with races, thrilling events, sixteen champion riders, 100 acts, twenty clowns and performances in three rings, on two stages, race track and animal arena, it certainly is the greatest show on earth, and one thai all should see. When the show arrives here on October new, free, street parade, with the rulers of the world, and the military uniforms of all nations will be seen on the streets, itself wondrous exhibition of the splendors of modern circus ideas.

 Jolly Nellie McHenry will present her GUS, ;" at the opera house next Monday night, and no doubt will make decided hit in her dual role of Mile. Electra, queen of the arena, and Mile. Madeline Milan, visiting governess. She is the life and soul of the piece from beginning to end, al- though her supporting cast is an excep- tionally good one. Her antics while dis gused as governess engaged to teach four young ladies the rules of department are simply unimitable, aud will involve no end of laughter during the second act. The last act takes place in the dressing tent of the greatest show on earth. The mischiev- ous Mile. Electra induces Archibald Ranger and Nicholas Friske, two respectable law partners, to come into the dressing tent in disguise, and at the same time has managed @ meeting with them of their respective wives, that is, each wife, also in disguise, 1ndulges 1ni sur reptitious adventure with the law partner of her husband. not recognize scene J.

 MIR. THOMAS KEENE' s ENGAGEMENT.
 As tragedian no actor has more firmly established himself in the good opinions of the southern people than Thomas Keene, and play goers will welcome him heartily on next Tuesday evening at the opera house. Keene is scholarly and kindly to all in his personal character, and it is just to add that no moro industrious student of his art lives. On this occasion he will produce for the first time, we think, in this city, Delavigne's great historic play of ''Louis XI," one of the most re- markable characters in ali French history. Nothing stronger, in 0 dramatic sense, holds the stage at this moment, and it will be refreshing to see something new that is so powerfully interesting. MT. Keene brings with him one of the ablest com panies that ever travelled the road, we are informed. It is led by Edwin Arden and Mrs. LaWrence.

BIBLICAL AND LITERARY SOCIETY.

/ Yesterday at 4:30 p. m. there was large and interesting meeting of ladies and gen. tlemen at the hall adjoining St. Paul's Catholic church. The object of the meet ing was to reorganize the Biblical and Lit erary society for the ensuing year. The plan adopted Is to organize a number of circles throughout the city and suburbs, each circle to be composed of ten mem- bers, and these to report frequently to a central committee the progress of the work. Every two or three months there will be general meeting of the different branches, when an in nteresting programme will be carried out of readings, lectures, etc.
 While each branch may choose auy course doctrine are to be the principal studies, which are to be followed by all circles, ac- cording to prearrangsd plan.

MUCH WoE AND NO PUNCH.

If there was ever time when Com mencement punch was needed at liar ward yesterday was the time. Those who were there were deep in gloom on account of the sad news received from New Haven. They had been made to realize that Harvard is failure in one of those things which chiefly make the name and fame of a great university. She can't play ball, and her attempts 10 do so Tuesday in obedience to the stern command of the umpire were very depressing to all who want to see fair Harvard well advertised and the first among the big schools. The de- precision was central yesterday at liar yard. And as there wns no oppor- unity to step from one hospitable punch bowl to the other until the load of care was frightened and the blue sky ap- peared at least rosy the woe was un- mitigated.
 Of course the abolition of Commence ment punch at Harvard is good thing and noble thing, however much and especially the enlivening influence of it was missed yesterday. But wouldn't it be good idea for the Harvard authori- ties to abolish also their baseball associ- ation, or aggregation? That association

--------------------- BETIER i.Sk T-f.ATED.

It is believed by those who know something about ink and paper that most of the books made nowadays are of such poor material that they will not last more than fifty years, but there is little mourning over this outlook, for it is generally understood [that if most of the books made nowadays last fifty years it will be all of forty-ninc years, eleven months and twenty-nine days too long. But it is desirable that public rec ords should last, and it has been dis covered that the public records of the present day will soon be worthless on account of the poor quality of the ink used ill making them. That this is an exceedingly important matter needs no argument to show. Its importance has been so deeply felt in Massachusetts that the legislature of that State has passed an act providing for the estab- lishment of q standard ink, which must be used ill every department or office of State or county. Massachusetts un- der the act will have an ink dispensary, as South Carolina has a liquor dis pensary. The secretary of state has to contract for ink to supply all demands of public officers, and the inks sub mitted must stand test under the ex- animation of a chemist to be designated by the secretary; the failure of any ac- cepted ink to come up to the test after ward will make it the secretary's duty to cancel the contract.
 This is a move which may well be initiated by every State in the country and also by the national government The modern writing inks are by no means what they should be. They flow well and they are boon to the manu- facturers of steel pens because they eat them up so fast, but they do not make lasting marks. The sooner this matter is attended to in Connecticut the bet ter. The public records here should be made so that they will stay put. And where will the New Haven Colony His torical Society be when the records of its present prosperity fade from the eager sight of an admiring posterity?

THE NEW FRENCH PRESIDENT,

THE NEW FRENCH PRESIDENT. The French republic is again in full working order, M. Jean Paul Pierre Casimir-Perier having been elected president yesterday on the first ballot. He enters his great office in time of trouble and danger, and the indications are that he will have opportunities to conspicuously show what manner of man he is. There is no doubt that he is man of courage, for during the Fran co-Prussian war he was one Ot those who volunteered for the de- fense of Paris, and he dis played so much bravery in those trying times that he received honorable mention in the order of the day and was decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honor. There is also no doubt that he is devoted to Republ- canism, although he was brought up under Royalist influences, which he broke squarely away from fifteen years 
 ago.
 Resides being "a brave man and a thorough Republican the new president has had so much experience in public affairs that he will have no trouble in adapting himself to the ordinary de- mands of his new place. In 1871 he became. chief of the cabinet to his father, the minister of the interior, and since then he has been & member of the chamber of deputies, under-secretary of state in the department of public instruction, under-seoretary of state in the war department, vice-president of the chamber, prime minister, and presi dent of the chamber. It was believed by many that he would be elected president of the Republic at the end of Carnot's term. He is pre- sident of the Republic now, made so by events which none could foresee or plan by.

before l had completed my investiga- l ton. The more looked the more and

 brig had been built where she was; but
 by whom. and for what? 2 T spent the whole afternoon climb ing over the vessel. I went into the rigging and looked over the surround ing country, but could see no sign of a human being. When night came on l concluded to camp near by. but had no sooner got fixed comfortably when voice from somewhere called Good | evening" You may be sure jumped, as my nerves were feeling little weak through my strange afternoons expe- riepce.
 There was no need to be alarmed. though, for good-natured looking man with gray hair and beard was smiling at me. Of course, at once concluded that he knew something about the brig. was right, and in few moments he explained the whole thing to me, and also showed to what ends foolish Idea will drive a man.
 He said that his name was Freder- ick Evans, that he was a ship-builder by trade, and one of the California pioneers of '49. He had never made big strike. but had always kept pros pecting, and when the water rose in Salton Lake few years ago he was at work in the mountain around Death Valley. It was then that he got 1t Into his head that the water would eventu- ally reach that locality. and he was de- termined to have the first vessel to float in the new sea. Evans was not poor man. but had enough money to hire q couple of men to help him lay the keel of the vessel, put in the masts and do the other heavy work. At first the work was pushed rapidly, but when the water commenced to recede Evans took things easy and did all the work himself, because he thought the water would not come again for a year He has been disappointed every year since, but still thinks that Death Val ley will become a sen, and he is ready for 1t.

I stayed with him a few days and found him @ well-educa- ted man and very interesting, but when left him his last words were, When the water rises will be ready for it. |"
