A Tennessee Family.

Nashville Banner.
 Gen. John A. Fite, of Lebanon, was on a street car bound for the fair. A lady and her daughter got on the car, the mother finding a seat. Gen. Fite very gallantly rose and offered the young lady his seat. The young lady declined to take it. Gen. Fite Insisted, but the mother remarked: 'She is young and can stand"
 You don't mean to say that am old. madamT'
 "oh. not at all." politely remarked the lady.
 The young lady accepted the seat and Gen. Fite. turning to the mother. said:
 How old do you think I amr
 q should think about fifty-five."
 Madam, am ninety-three years old"

Picture of Coronation.

Edwin E, A. Abbey has almost fin- ished his picture of the gorgeous coro- nation scene in Westminster Abbey. The final strokes were deferred in 8 curious way. King Edward had seen the great canvas and was much pleased. About that time a courier whispered in the royal ear that the coronation robe hid the royal legs from view. His Majesty, who is very human, bit at the bait and MT. Abbey was asked to readjust the robe in such a way as to reveal one of his majesty s legs. The leg was painted from Q model with handsome limbs. When the King saw the picture again he was delighted. The firm. graceful line of the calf. curving so elegantly in white silk hose, stirred the royal imagina- tion. He insisted that both legs should be shown. This, of course, ne- cessitated a more serious change in the arrangement of the robe, the key of the whole scheme of color, and therefore a modification of the general tone of the picture.

ernment on earth-~that of. a republic. The success of a republic is not due to the inherent virtues of the demo- cratic system, but to the virtues and the competency of the mass of citizen ship. The same failure which would be sure to attend the establishment of a republic in the Philippine Islands, the same failure which is to be seen in the countries of South America--might be expected if Russia through a revolu- ton should destroy her monarchical system and attempt at once demo- cratic government. Russia has the long, hard road to travel which leads
 to general education and general intel
 ligence before she can hope to sustain
 a government by the people.

shoulder. She had a surgeon get it back
in place as soon as possible, but it was
quite sore and panied her very much.
Her son mentioned that he had seen
ohamberlain's Pain Balm advertised fol-
sprains and soreness, and she asked him
to buy her a bottle of it, which he did. II
quickly relieved her and enabled her to
sleep, which she had not done for several
days. The son was so much pleased with
the relief it gave his mother that he has
since recommended it to many Others.
