RAINS, The DRUGGIST,
THE POISONED ARROW.
Against the Slanderer There is no De-
Tense.

Against the slanderer There is no De-
Tense.
Against Islander there is no defense.
1t starts with word-with nod
with shrug-with look-a smile.
1t is pestilence walking in darkness,
spreading contagIon far and wide
which the most wary traveller cannot
avoid; it is the understanding
dagger of the dark assassin; the
poisoned arrow whose wounds are
incurable; the mortal sting of the
deadly adder; murder its employ
ment, innocence its prey and ruin its
sport. The man who breaks into my
dwelling, or meets me in the public
roads and robs me of my property,
does me injury. He stops me on the
way to wealth, he strips me of my
hard earned savings, involves me in
difficulty, and brings my family to
perjury and want. But he does me
an injury that can be repaired. In
dustry and economy may again bring
me into circumstances of ease and
affluence. The man who, coming at
the midnight hour, fires my dwell
ing, does me an injury-he burns my
roof, my pillow, my raiment, my
very shelter from the storm and
tempest; but he does me an injury
that can be repaired. The storm
may indeed beat upon me and chill
ing blasts assail me, but charity will
receive me into her dwelling; will
give me food to eat and raiment to
put on; will timely assist me; rails
ing new roof over the ashes of the
old, and l shall again sit by my own
Preside and taste the sweets of
friendship and of home, But the
man who circulates false reports
concerning my character, who ex-
poses every act of my life which
may be presented to my disadvant-
age, who goes first to this, then to
that individual, tells them he is very
tender of my reputation, he enjoins
upon them the strictest secrecy, and
then fills their ears with hearsays
and rumors, and what is worse,
leaves them to dwell upon the hints
and suggestion of his own busy
imagination-the man who thus
"filches from me my good name
does me injury which neither in.
dustry, nor charity, nor time itself
can repair.-Fraternal News.

Around the World in so Minutes.

Around the world in 30 minutes is
the record that has been made by
electricity, and here is the sentence
that DIR. Chauncey Depew composed
for the occasion: GOD creates,
nature treasures, science utilities
electrical power for the grandeur of
nations and the peace of the world"
President Chandler, of the Postal
Company, sent the message from the
electrical exposition in New York,
and Thomas A. Edison received it
back again at the same point after it
had travelled 27,500 miles in 80
minntas.

battle, and for their champion
named Senator Daniels of Virginia.
Mr.. Harrity of New York, Chair
man of the National Committee,
presented the majority report,
naming Mr.. Hill for temporary
chairman. Then Mr.. Clayton of
Alabama, member of the COM
mittee, offered a minority report,
naming Mr.. Daniels. The two re-
ports were argued at some length.
When the roll was called the vote
stood for Daniel, sos, for Hill $40.
This was considered a test vote,
though the silver men claim that
their full strength was not polled..
After Senator Daniel was escorted
to the chair and made his speech,
which was an able and eloquent
presentation of the silver side of the
question, the states were called to
name their. representatives on the
standing committees; and when this
was done an adjournment was had
until Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock.
Tennesseeans Disappointed.
The Tennessee delegation was
greatly disappointed because Sen
ator Harris declined to take the per-
manent craftsmanship of the Con-
vention. By common consent the
honor was conceded to him by the
party, and the Tennesseeans looked
forward with pride to seeing him
WELD the gravel over the greatest
convention of the age. But Senator
Harris considered that it would not
be good policy for the temporary
and permanent Chairman to come
from the South, and from two ad-
joining States, especially in view OF
the fact that he and Senator Daniel,
the temporary Chairman, are both
ex-Confederates. For this reason
he sent to the Committee on Per-
manent Organization word, that he
would not allow his name to be con-
sidered. The Senator cared nothing
whatever for the honor.
Eth b. Wade for Reading Clerk.
Mr.. Eth B. Wade, of Murfrees-
boro, Reading Clerk of the last
House of Representatives, received
handsome and deserved compli-
ment in being made principal Read
ing Clerk of the convention. Hon.
Jas. d. Richardson, of Murfreesboro,
was elected Chairman of the Com
mittee on Rules.
Tennesseeans for Bland.
After two hours or more discus
sion behind closed doors, the Ten.
nessee delegation decided to cast the
twenty-four votes of the Senate foi

SECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

The great cOnven ton hung fire on
Wednesday. Not very much was
done except to perfect organization
and listen to speech making. This
was due to the fact that the COM
mittees on Credentials and Perma-
nent Organization were having a
tussle of it in the committee room,
and were slow in making their re-
ports to the convention. At the
morning session Wednesday moth
ing was done except to wait. After
waiting two or three hours the con-
vention adjourned until ) p. III.
Afternoon Session.
The convention re-assembled at
II :l5. At $3.50 the Committee on
Credentials made its full report
The only two serious contests were
from Nebraska and Michigan. The
committees report seated the silver
delegation from Nebraska, headed
by w. j. Bryan, and they also
seated the silver delegates from the
fourth and ninth Congressional dis
tricts of Michigan.
This decision of the Michigan case
left the delegation standing 10 to 10
in favor of silver; and as the unit
rule prevailed, under instructions
it gives Michigan a solid silver vote
of %, and this gives the silver men
a clear two thirds of the entire con-
ven ton.
A tedious and somewhat acre
monious debate was had over the
report. The question was finally
called on the minority report, when
was in favor of seating the gold men,
This minority report tfor gold was
voted down by 55S nays to 1858 yeas
The majority report was then
adopted by viva voce vote.
Senator White, Permanent Chairman
The committee on Permanent
Organization then reported, namlhE
Senator White of California a
permanent chairman and Thos j.
Cogan of Ohio as permanent secre-
tary. This report was not objected
to, but agreed to by accla-
nation. Senator White made
short speech, and the committee Oh

Cardinal Manning's Bump of Conscience.

Although asoetic In his personal habits,
the late Cardinal Manning was far from
being austere, and among his intimate
friends he relished telling or hearing anus
ing things. A story he never shrank from
telling was Of a sculptor who had once at
tempted his bust in Rome. During one
of the sittinRs, as he was disooursing on
chronology, Manning made him point out
on the head he was modelling the supposed
seat of various organs ard qualities. At
last Manning had asked him where was

sculptor had stalked across the ROOM and

The Unlversity's endowment now

fellOw-farmers that have thorough
ly tested the virtue of "Snoddp's
Hog cholera Specific, " with the fol-
lowing results: About the middle of
April, / had 40 head of hogs which
/ turned on a clover-field. A short
time afterward, / found several
of them sick. / did not believe the
disease to be cholera at the start,
but few days later realized that
[ had bad type of cholera in my
hogs. After eight of them had
died and about half of the others
had become sick, and eight of
them very bad, began the use of
"SNODDY'S HOG CHOLERA SPE-
CIFIC." L acknowledge my preiu-
dice against cholera cures, but much
to my surprise and delight, my hogs
began to improve on the fourth day,
and all got we'll but three pigs.
They are as hearty and thrifty now
as if they had never had cholera.
The effect of this remedy on my hogs
was wonderful, and a great surprise
to all that saw the hogs before they
were treated.

CHAIRMAN GREENLAw issues a
call in this paper for the County
Democratic Executive Committee
to meet next Monday week, July 20.
The legislative primaries or conYen-

it is high time some of those good
men we have been calling for were
being brought out by their friends.
The way to bring out large vote
next November is to run clean men
for the legislature. They will
strengthen the ticket both state and
national.

THE farmers are noe the only ones
to suffer at the low price of potatoes
and wheat. When the farmers
can't sell, they can't buy, and then
that little word cant" runs all
through the channels of trade. In
fact the farmer has little the adj
vantage of the merchant, in that the
farmer can eat his potatoes and
wheat, and the merchant cannot his
goods. 1t will be a long time before
the people forget these gold stand
ard prices.

THE Populists have issued a
manifesto. At least a few of their
leaders have. They demanded that
the Democrats turn the cold should
er to each and every member of
their own house, and bestow their
confidence and their honors upon
some stranger. That is rather too
ridiculous to be seriously discussed.
The Democrats never had the slight
est idea of doing any such thing.
The gold bugs and Populists did all
that talking.
