TENNESSEE is A DAUGHTER OF
NORTH CAROLINA

Gen. w. TT. Jackson, of Tennessee,
in his remarks in Richmond on the
list instant, at the "Re-union" of the
Confederate Veterans, urging the
claims of Nashville, Tenn, as the next
place Of meeting of the veterans, is
reported in the Times of the End as
saying:
''Many of you here are sons OF Ten
nessee, who have settled in other
States, and she herself is a daughter of
Virginia"
He is said to be a wise man who
knows his own father, bat here is a
man who don't know his own mother
or at any rate his States mother
that may be because he is only an
adopted son of Tennessee.
General, don't rob old North Caro-
lima of her lovely daughter, peerless
among the States-of whom she is SO
proud. Virginia has enough and to
spare OF hopeful progeny without rob
bling MS of our one ewe-lamb. We
have never disowned her, and Vir.
ginia herself, too, viii be surprised
now to find in Tennessee a long lost
child.

The vote was announced 558 noes.
368 ayes, 3 not voting, one absent. It's,
announcement set the convention
afire with another tremendous flame.
The silver men had their turn in ear
nest. The scene showed plainly the
complexion of the assembly, for this
time the delegates were the shouters
and the galleries remained silent ex-
cept in scattered places. Down in the
square arena in the centre of the.
building the delegations Of silver
States were masSed on their chairs in
solid blocks and so large was their
majority that the whole official space
seemed to be q shout. Flags, news
papers, hats, handl1erchiefs, the dele
cations seized and waved above their
heads, tossed them high in the air,
swung tbeip flags madly and with all
their strength, and unremittingly
howled. The State standards along
the aisles were seized and wrenched
from the bolts which held them to the
floor, to be elevated high into the air.
Over in the far southwestern corner,
nearly quarter of a mile from the
platform, it seemed, the Montana
miners band was blowing all the pow
err of its lungs into the brass horns;
the band above the chairman's head
was also at work, but neither pro-
duced an audible squeak and even the
stalwart bass drummers were pound
ing a pantomine.
The complexion of the scene had
been changed. This time it was the
gold leaders who sat mute with cloud
ed brows. The generals Of silver were
beaming. Staid, solemn Cockrell, of
Missouri, wore a smile, nothing short
of beatific; "Ben" Tillman had a hap
py air; the features of Altgeld did not
relax from their grim lines.
Senator Daniel made efforts with his
voice and gavel to be heard, but they
were utterly Intellectual. Toward the
end of the silver clamor, some of the
most historical Westerners pulled Off
sheir coats and vests to wave. After
nineteen minutes, one minute more
than the gold cheering, the silver men
were satiated.
When order was restored, the ma
iority report which changed the Mich
igan delegation from gold to silver was
adopted without division.

FILTERS.

The report of the eXecu-
tive officer of the Board of
Health relative to the
condition of the Nuuanu

something dangerous to

that will effectually separate
the water from mud and filth.

done a little toward securing

luxury, in others, Honolulu

but the natural filters that are
