How Crump Went Home.

Edward Il. Crump, the Rhode
Island Red Rooster" of Memphis,
the boss of the unlawful dives
of that city and in turn the cring-
ing tool Of the National Liquor
Dealers Association, spent weeks
of the regular session of the
Legislature in Nashville, the
whole of the first extra session
of that body aud again on Octo.
Der I3 went back to the capitol
city, as arrogantand domineering
a boss, as unmerciful q political
whip as ever applied the Tam
many lash. Before the close Of
the second extra session last
week, the "Red Rooster" re.
turned to his perch on Chicka-
saw Bluff, with every tail feather
plucked and his sanguine comb
both mutilated and frostbitten-
the worst discredited political
tout that ever ignominiously fell
down on doing the bidding of the
Master who held a bill of sale
for him and his efforts which for
so many weeks loomed up as q
black cloud above the political
horizon of Tennessee. Thank
God for whatsoever it was that
caused the downfall Of Crump
aud the final triumph Of Law
over Anarchy in the Legislature
of the State which now bids fair
to regain its honored name.

on Washington real estate and
through other Investments which
were tipped off to him by his
friend Benedict, the banker.
Van Buren, had 80 much money

his salary until the end of four
years when he signed for the

$25, 900 per year at that time.
George Washington had plenty

James Monroe entered the

oil rich men and left large

With the exception of the minerals,
it is difficult for one to find on the
earth's surface substances that do not
tempt the appetite of some sort of
animal. The list of queer articles of
diet includes the earth, which is
munched with satisfaction by the clay
eater, and the walrus hide, which the
Eskimo relishes as much as does John
Bull his Joint of beef
1t is not generally known, however,
that men have eaten dinners that have

In 1870 Barnabo Visconti compelled
two papal delegates to eat the bull of
accommodation which they had
brought him, together with its silken
cords and leaden seal. AS the bull
was written on parchment, not paper,
it was all the more difficult to digest.
A similar anecdote was related by
Oelrich, in his "Dissertatio de Biblio-

of an Austrian general who had
signed note for 1000 forms. and
when it fell due compelled his credi-
tors to eat it. The tartars, when books
fall into their possession, eat them,
that they may acquire the knowledge
contained in them.
