as plain to the doctor as II the events
had occurred but yesterday. but to save
his life he could not think OF the gem
tleman's name. AS time went on this
failure Of memory caused him serious
annoyance and he adopted all sorts Of
expedients to bring back the name
He would take the letters OF the alpha

the surnames he had ever heard, but
to no avail. Then, in his Imagination,
he would start down the street where
his friend had lived, enter the house,

nearly as he could remember It, the
conversation which had taken place
between them, but still he could not re-
call the name. When. after thirty years
he returned to his native land on a
visit, he took the trouble to go TO

But his health broke down and so they
came to Mountain Home. where he took
charge of the engine I'm the planning

health but finally had to give up and
let his wife do his work There was
nothing else TO do, for money was
scarce and sickness was expensive.

DEATH OF SENATOR HARRIS.

Hon. Isham G. Harris, of Tennessee died in
Washington, July 8, after an illness Of several
days. Senator Harris was born in February
1878. and he became a member Of Congress in
lS49, his Congressional career antedatng those
of Senators Morrill, and Sherman by seven
years aud Hon. Galusha A. Grow, now men,
Der Of the House from Pennsylvania by one
year. Mr.. Harris when he was elected to the
National House Of Representatives already
had become a man of State reputation in Ten
nessee, having the year previously served as O
Presidential elector on the Democratic ticket
and two years before been elected member of
the Legislature of tbe.State.
Mr.. Harris represented the .intb Tennessee
district in Congress for the two terms ended in
1853, when he declined a denomination. He
then moved to Memphis, where he has since
resided. Here he was engaged in the practice
of law. He was a Presidential elector, and
when the war broke out was Governor of
Tennessee.
He took a pronounced stand for the Confed-
eracy. and was known as one of the Southern
war Governors. The vicsstndes of con hict
rendered a frequent change of residence neces-
sary, aud he was often with the army in the
field. Hc attached himself ut different times
to the stafis of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston,
Joseph E. Johnston. Beanreguard, and Bragg.
After Lees surrender Mr. Harris was one of
a small party OF political refugees who escaped
to Mexico, going across the country horse
back. Parson Brownlow, who had become the
Military Governor of Tennessee, offered large
reward for the capture of his predecessor, but
the latter remained absent from the country
until his return was safe. He remained in
Mexico for several months, going thence to
England, where he resided until 1867, when he
returned to Memphis and resumed his prac-
tice of the law.
In 1877 he was elected to the Senate, and has
remained q member ever SINCE
