 A Bower of Beauty.
 Major Anderson's beautiful home, where the Alabama board of exhibit was entertained, was a veritable bower of beauty. The decorations for the occa- sion are worthy of special mention and were as follows:
 The hall was decorated in smilax and Easter lilies, the stair rail being com pletely hid by the green and lilies; the folding door, from the hall to the parlor, was completely hidden with smilax, great stalks of lilies protruding from this green as if growing there. All the doors were similarly festooned and studded with lilies.
 The arch and grill work in the dining room was a gem, being more elaborate than the folding doors. Palms and blooming plants were used wherever one could be placed with effect.
 But the crownng piece of work was
 
 mingham before a mantel decoration in maiden hair ferns. The parlor mantel and hearth were banked in ferns of all sizes, from tiny plants to large ones, measuring over 3 feet across.
 The arrangement commenced with the small ferns at one end, and ranged to the largest at the other end, backed up by immense stalks of lilies rearing their mass of bloom around the handsome painting On the hearth, amid a mass of ferns, were large specimens of Brazilian tree ferns, the handsomest in the south. Altogether the decoration was white and green, and was the most unique and elegant decoration ever made.
 William Lindsay, the florist who had the order for decorating the interior of the building, said that over 300 lilies were used The decorations were an honor to the decorator and Birmingham, as all the articles used were grown at Lind says conservatory.

not to sensual, ignoble love. He liked
men, he said, because they admired and
praised him. He repeatedly denied
that be had been guilty of any miscon-

As ANTICIPATED, the republicans OF
Alexandria county elected every one
of their candidates except one, who,
they said when they nominated him
for sheriff, was only ''put up to be
knocked down." as they didn't intend
t. vote for him. The republicans have a
large majority in the county, and near
ly all of them are negroes, their nomi-
mating convention having only one
white member. That the race
track people had no influence in
eifecting the result, is proved by the
fact that Sheriff Veitch, said by two
Washington newspapers to stand in
with them" was defeated. The ne
groes have a large majority in the
county, and as tie democrats refused
10 buy them, they voted the republican
ticket, and as their votes were counted,
the candidates they had nominated
and supported were elected. Aud this
is the long and short of the Alexan
dria county election.

For SOUND MoNEY.-4t the sound money
convention held at Memphis yesterday the
following were adopted:
1--WE would rejoice over the adoption of
real bimetalism. but in view of the continued
fluctuations in the price of silver in the open
market we realize that it is impossible for the
United States independently to adopt BIZ
metallic standard, and We deem il unwise and
hazardous to the best interests of its people
for this country to attempt its establishment.
We favor the policy of this country standing
in the attitude of readiness at all times to CO.
operate with the other powers in any effort
they may inaugurate looking to the adoption
of true bimetalism, but in the meantime, and
until successful cooperation is assured, to
maintain inviolate its existing standard of
value.
I'VE favor the retention, as part of our
money, the silver now coined, and in order to
give q wider field for the use of silver We
favor the coinage of money other than silver
and silver certificates below the denomination
of SO into higher denominations, so as to
make our entire circulation below the de-
nomination of $40. either oliver or silver
certificates, and to this end the Secretaly of
the Treasury should be authorized to coin,
from time to time as the people may require
them, silver dollars until the demand for
money below the denomination of $40 is at
all times Satisfied.
"We realize that our national banking sys-
ten was adopted during period of war, and
that tits not adapted to existing conditions.
We therefore favor such legislation as will
secure to the people system Of banking sur
rounded by such safeguards as will at all
times furnish them safe, elastic, and sutfi-
Gent currency for the transaction of their

The democrats of Alexandria, as is
their custom, yesterday elected their
entire municipal ticket, and by the
usual majority, and would have done
so even ifthe opposition had been or
ganized and had made strong fight,
which was not the case. Alexandria is
a democratic town, and its democrats
willingly take the trouble to vote their
party's ticket. AT yesterdays election
the ticket was an excellent one, and all
those on it will doubtless discharg.
their duties efficiently. 1t is hoped tina,
the members-elect of the city council
may be able to devise ways and means
by which the tax rate can be lessened
for strangers contemplating invest

culated to drive them away than q high
