A Fallen Chieftain.

Cataclysms will occur in poll
tics sometimes and stalwart lead
ers occasionally 60 down before
the irresistible force of adverse
circumstances. Political winds
will shift and those whose prin-
ciples are not flexible enough to
shift with them must run counter
to the breath of the tornado.
There are likely to be numerous
instances of this kind within the
Democratic party this year and
there has recently been a sad in
stance in Tennessee.
While the country was absorb
ed in watching the result in the
New York primaries and specu-
lating on the overthrow of Chas.
F. Murphy there was a great fight
pending in this State which in
volved the fate of a notable
Democratic leader. Down near
where the father of waters rolls
unvexed to the sea there has
lived and log-rolled the Hon.
Richard Highroller Green, who
is better known to the prolitariat
of sold Upton" as plain Dick.
Mr.. Green was great hustler in
politics and of the ''truly loyal"
brand. He was the father of the
present Tennessee election laws
and a shouter for 16 to /. He
was hopelessly unregenerate and
stoutly uncompromising and for
some years he has held the De-
mocracy of Upton Comfy in the
hollow of his hand.
The tragical denoument of this
story is that the Juggernaut car
of the remorseless "reorganizers''

other day and former Capt. Gen.
Green got caught under the

Politics aside, Dick Green is
the editor of one of the best
weekly papers in Tennessee and
a jolly good fellow whom every
body likes, but of course the end
of his political supremacy had to
come. Nothing lasts always and
Dicks peculiar brand of politics
was essentially ephemeral. Caesar
had his Brutus, and Charles | his
Cromwell. Who did the happy
dispatch act for Dick in the re-
cent Covington convention we
are not prepared to say, but it
was done effectively. Like Mer-
cutio's wound, sit will suffice"
Politically the Hon. Richard
Highroller Green is laid low but
we will venture to say that Edit
or Dick Green is still smiling
happily and is doing a thriving
business exchanging subscrip-
tions for cord wood and pumpkins
and that he has a smile, a hand
shake and a joke even for those
who downed him. - Nashville

Uncle Tom, JS"Ao "S"
young girl had chewed tobacco or
smoked the pipe or dipped snuff
she would have been ostracized
and the other girls would have
refused to associate with her.
Girls in those day were healthy
and rosy-cheeked, not pale or
sallow with a sick and weary look
on their faces. remember very
well a remarkable test of strength
between girl and several young
men that | saw once. The girl
was a cousin of mine; the test
was standing in a half bushel and
shouldering two bushels of wheat.
Cousin Liza could shoulder it
easily while the boys could not,
and she had a sister who could
perform the same feat much to
the chagrin of some of the young
men who could not. That was
before tight laceing corsets, use
of snuff and wearing thin shoes
came into practice. Men and
women in those days were strong
and robust; very few delicate
ones. Why we retrograde and
become weaker | cannot explain
unless it is from our manner Of
living. In those days nearly all
of the girls were field hands and
worked every day through crop
time, and it didn't kill them for
many are living yet as monu-
ments of the past. These same
girls usually spun until bed time
after working hard in the field
all day. Now we have girls too
lazy to do anything except stand
before a looking-glass and primp,
still we have many just as smart
as their grandmothers were and
are not afraid of spelling their
hands and complexion by work
ing. There is quite difference
in the custom of now and then !;
of course fashion is always chang
ing but custom changes slowly.
Sometimes | conclude not custom
but fashion is killing more human
beings than war. | believe
the human family is as moral and
refined as ever before but with
all their morality and refinement
they have adopted habits that
are weakening them physically,
the use Of snuff, cigarettes, tight
lacing, ect. Then, our homes are
tighter than those of many years
ago. The majority of houses
were well ventilated by cracks
big enough to throw dog through
but there was but very little sick
ness among the people. Children
got pair of shoes about once 9
year, were allowed to play in just
any kind of weather and were
strong and healthy from some
cause. My grandfather lived il
a rail pen for two years and my
grandmother had to keep biz
fire burning all night to keep the
J wolves away. My grandfather
family was healthy and he raised
four boys and three girls. So
am inclined to doubt the proprie
tyof tight houses. Consumption
was rare in those days; | cannot
recall a single case in the com
) munity where l was raised. Ii
recalling these "reminiscences
do not advocate u general return
: to them but / do believe there
: are modern habits that we coulc
} leave off and enjoy better healtl
by doing so-snuff, especially. ,

,ouch for the truth of this story;

vOuch for the truth of this story; merely repeat it as it came to me, to illustrate the prevailing opinion of Yuma. Late last evening was stand ing in the vestibule between our car and the dining car, when one of the walters came through. l asked him some questions about place we were passing, and after answering me, he asked me if would like to see their kitchen. As had never been into the kitchen of 8 dining car, l was very glad of chance. It was as neat as wax, and the chef to whom I was in- troduced showed me all about the place. In size it is about half the length of a car, and about three fourths the width. Nearly all one side is occupied by mammoth range,
 part of it partitioned off for broiling steaks, etc., and this part is covered entirely by big sheet iron box and chimney, so that none of the smoke can possibly come out in the kitchen. Of course the big ovens are below the range, and above are hot air compart- ments where dishes are set to heat,
 and above these, shelves where various things that heat will not injure are kept. At the end of the kitchen, nearest the middle of the cal, ,are doors in the wall, which, when opened, con- nect with the pantry, so that hot food can be showed through for the walters to take into the dining room, which is the other side of the pantry. On the side opposite the range are big copper

See any sort of vegetation except some sage brush and thousands of cactus of every variety, and kind, some of them 10 to 15 feet high. In addition to these were large numbers of yucca. At this season of the year they are not in bloom, but last years dead blossom stalk is there, and in many cases should say they were all of 12 it. high. Up in the Mojave (pronounced Mo-ha- times grow to be 20 it high. The cac- tus are also much larger, and they say that when all of these are in blossom 1t is most gorgeous. Towards noon to-
 day, we saw wonderful sight, the
 "Mirage" of the desert. We had been
 running along through a barren sec
 tiOn, where even cactus could not seem
 to grow, where the soil was baked hard and dry and coated thick with alkali,
 when suddenly, seemingly. about five miles away,a most beautiful river
 appeared, winding at the foot of the mountains, with trees growing beside along which lay a ribbon of vivid green. In places in broadened out in- to almost lake and you could even
 see the trees and the hill tops reflected in it's still waters. Twas so perfect that if I had not heard of such delu- sions I would have been sure beyond
 doubt of the genuineness of what l saw. For half an hour or an hour the vision
 lasted and then faded away, leaving
 nothing but the white coated alkali plains stretching barren and desolate
 to the base of the far of mountains,
 with no silvery stream between It is no wonder that such visions have !ured hundreds and thousands of mer 10 their death.

covered lockers, within which are

covered lockers, within which are
 boxes for flour, etc, some of them lined and filled with ice for milk, etc. The top of this locker is used for table, and above are little cupboards, and compartments, and boxes. Then near est the outside door was a monstrous ice box, with meat, eggs, and every thing that heat would spoil. The ice box opens to the outside car and is filled in that way, without bringing the ice into the kitchen at all. They keep the chef, second cook and two subordinates, though how in the world four men ever manage to work in that small room I do not know. Every inch of space is utilized, at the sides, and it must be in the middle of the room as we'll when all four are work ing. The chef, in his white apron and cap, is quite dignitary, and gets SSO a month. The second cook gets $50, and the other two still less. When l say "by the month";" mean for about 20 days each month, for as it makes hard work while they are working,
 they lie off from two to three days between each run. One or two of the Eastern roads pay $1O to $15 more per month. We got into Tucson at about six this morning, and we expect to be in Ell Paso early this evening. The land here seems similar to that in
 Northern Arizona and New Mexico,
 except that it is more barren and desc late if possible, yet they say that with water this section would be fully equal
 to the finest of Southern California.
