 to Claim Property.
 New York, July 31.-Mrs Mary A. Murphy, who said she was the widow of Colonel Michael c. Murphy, former police commissioner of this city, is dead at her home in Brooklyn, from heart failure Colonel Murphy's friends in this city knew nothing of his wife un- til after his death, not long ago, when the woman presented her claims for his estate and sought. to show that she married him in 1855 and that they sep-' arated fifteen years later, drifted apart and never were reconciled. Colonel Murphy's rise in politics occurred after the separation, so that his closest friends of later years knew nothing of his family affairs, and the appearance of the widow caused a sensation.

DAVY cRocKETT's OLD HOME.

A special to the Nashville American
gives this interesting piece of history.
Judge W. W. Powell, of Dyer, has
just returned from trip to the Nine
teenth District of this county. While
there he went to see the old home of
Davy Crockett. The hut where Davy
lived still stands, and is yet in sound
condition. The gun rack where his
truest companion rested is still nailed
to the wall. The tract of land on which
this house stands was entered from the
State by that famous Tennessean. At
the time Crockett left Tennessee Glib
son County was almost a wilderness,
having farm here and yonder, The
news of his going was spread far and
near, and on the day before he took
his departure a big barbecue was given
and everybody was invited and large
crowds gathered. The pits where the
meat was cooked for this gathering are
also visible at the old homestead.

THE METHODIST PREACHER,

Of all the calllngs and vocations of
earth none Is more trying than that of
the Southern Methodist preacher He
is literally soldier of the cross, and
the bishop commands. Here this year,
perhaps yonder another-never longer
than four years in one place he sur
renders absolutely all hope of home or
or fixed habitation.
Who that has tasted the sweets of
home, of local ties and long friends, of
neighborhood ways and paths can
doubt the commanding CONNECTION and
solemn duty that moves this man of
God to undertake his strenuous and
i'll rewarded mission?
From the days of Wesley the Meth
odist preacher has been among the
| foremost forces of right living and
earnest religion He is man of heart
and purpose He believes in the blight
of sin and the certainty of punishment
and he gives his whole effort to per-
suading men to be upright and to flee
the wrath to come.
He cares little for the nice points OF
theology, though his culture and learn
ing are equal to the best of his age, but
he is skilled in the art of presenting
the living truths of the Masters teach
ings. He is forcefuI, aggressive and
persevering. He fights evil all the
time and looks for evil things to fight
And yet he is happy. There IS
song on his lips and he isn't ashamed
or afraid to sing it before men anC
devils, and when the Lord rewards hi
laborers he shouts a hallelujah tina
mounts to the skies.
In the economy of the moral uni
verse there is place for all intelligen
church effort, and the Methodist or
ganization has proved its usefulness
as powerful factor in the worlds re
form. Civilization owes it a deb
which it delights to pay in reverence
and gratitude Juston, Texas, Post
