t ubstitnticn of somebody else more likely to pay upon delivery of the property. The candidate selected by Waldapfel was Count Sickingeu. of Austria, a member of one of the noblest families of the empire, bat as impecunious as he is blue-blooded. Count Sickingen craved the prize dangled before him by Waldapfel, and as ho did not have money enough to satisfy the demands of the broker, be borrowed from a widow nntil all the little fortune of the wido-v bad been transferred through Sickingen to Waldapfel. The Count promised to marry the widow's pretty daughter as soon as be should become sovereign of Bulgaria, and make her a princess, Bet as time passed and the crown of Bulgaria seemed as far olf as ever, the widow lost faith and bad the Count arrested as a swindler. Then the Count, to prove his sincerity, exposed the atiency of Waldapfel in the matter, and the latter was also arrested. From all that the authorities can learn there appears to have been no actual deception on the part of anybody. Waldapfel was confessedly an active agent in elevating Ferdinand to a place among the sovereigns of Europe, although he may have overestimated his part in the affair. It is equally certain that when the Cobnrg family refused to pay bim the sum demanded be began plotting with Russia to put some one in Ferdinand's place, and had. an active share in the l'anitza conspiracy. Count Sickingen, though not connected with any reigning house, would not be regarded as an impossible selection, for the Czar is willing to take any tool that he can handle for Russia's ends. On the other hand, it is not probable that the Count had any intention, either as nobleman or prince, of marrying the daughter of a plebeian widow. Thns the case stands, while the aristocracy of Europe is shocked by the revelations, and hopeful that the Count will be able to prove his innocence, ENGLAND'S COLONIES - .

Proposed Caitomi Convention for Canada Benefit Australasia's Growing Tower. London, Jan. 17. The British government is understood to be sounding Canada on the subject of an international customs convention that would take in all the British colonies of North America and the West Indies. At present Canada and the West Indian colonies have no right to adopt such a convention without'the authority of the British Parliament. This authority was bestowed on the Australian colonies, including New Zealand and Tasmania, in 1873; and Canada and the West Indies, while no formal proposition has been made to them, have had an intimation that if they ask they will receive. Great Britain fears the effect of recent American legislation on Canada, and is doing her best to lind new markets for the produce, of that country. It may be mentioned here that Australasia is fast assuming the place of a power among the nations, and the new Australian lleetis rapidly approaching completion. The gun-boats Boomerang and Karakatara will be finished this year, and will rendezvous at Malta, where they will await the arrival of the three cruisers, Katooma, Mildura and Wallaroo. Thd Australians, like the Americans, take native names for their vessels in preferenco to the ponderous adjectives and nouns selected for the British men-of-war. It may also be mentioned that England is not expending much of her military strength on Canada, having only 1,400 troops there, as against 27,000 thought necessary to guard Ireland. OF INTEREST TO SCHOLARS. Text of Aristotle's Treatise on the Constitution of Athens Found. London, Jan. 10. The Times announces that the authorities of the British Museum have discovered among a collection of papyrus rolls acquired recently in Egypt the text , of Aristotle's treatise on the constitution of Athens, from which numerous writers of antiquity quoted but which has hitherto been known only in detached fragments. This treatise may now be seen at the British Museum, where fac-similes of it are being prepared. The opening chapter is missing, and the concluding chapters mutilated, but otherwise the manuscript is in perfect condition. There is little doubt of the genuineness of the manuscript, because nothing was known of tne contents of the payrus roll when purchased. The Times says this discovery is almost unprecedented in the whole history of classical learning. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Emperor William's Policy Secretly Antagonized by Ex-Chancellor Bismarck. London", Jan. 18. While Bismarck is not taking a part of personal presence in parliamentary debates he is fast coming to be 'looked npon as the champion of conservatism and Tested privileges against the Emperor's policy of progress, and his, in the form of interview and inspired newspaper articles, is the direoting force of the opposition to imperial plans. His utterances, while not so dictatorial as when he held the helm of empire, have lost none of their incisiveness and are' perhaps all the more effective for lack of the brusque rudeness seldom absent in the official deliverances of the iron chancellor. He now holds, substantially, that the Emperor's course is tending to aggravate socialism and other dangers by yielding in a degree to the demands of the enemies of established institutions, and that it is not fair to submit to a Diet chosen by electors who had no such issues before them propositions that deal with the very foundations of the . state. The Kaiser may be irritated but he cannot silence his great suDject, and Bismarck, in retirement, seems yet to be acting a leading part in Germany. The Poor of Berlin. London, Jan. IS. While the German court is feasting and great statesmen are planning, the pcor byithe tens of thousands are starving in Berlin. Tne number of unemployed in the capital is now estimated at 73.000, and the police are putting forth rigorous efforts to stem the tide of immigrants from other places, who keep flocking to the city. The liberal doles during the Christmas holidays kept down the misery for a time, but now that the season of Christian rejoicing has gone want again asserts itself and instances of misery are reported. The Kaiser is active in promoting remedies for the evil in the present and the future, and is especially anxious to push forward the development of colonies to which Germany, like England, can send t tr surplus population without losing them. Much of the wretchedness in Berlin and all aver Germany is caused by the fact that lae young people have emigrated, leaving the old people, the nalt and lame at home to struggle along or come upon publio aid for support. Scotch Strikers Losing Heart. Glasgow, Jan. 18. The Southwestern railway employes having refused to rejoin the strikers, the men are losing heart and gradually returning to work. The Caledonian Railway Company is still holding places for repentant strikers. The passenger drivers voluntarily assisted in clearing goods in arrears to-day. The manager of the North British is drafting a scheme for the redress of the men's grievances, provided work is resumed within a fortnight. He declines, however, to promise any arbitration.

The towns of Gouraya and Ville Bourg were practically destroyed by the shocks and forty persons were killed by the falling of walls. The amount -;f damage done to property is estimated at 20,000. Our Pork May He Admitted Into France. Paris, Jan. 18. American pork has been the subject of mnch discussion in the tarifl committee of the Chamber of Deputies. It seems to be generally understood that the committee will recommend the abrogation of the decree prohibiting the importation of American pork. If this is adopted American pork will be placed upon the same footing as the product ot other countries. The Chilian Kevolt Spreading. -London. Jan. 18.

Tiewe of Congressmen Owen and Evans on the Proposal to Tax Foreign Capital in Indiana. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 18. Tbe action of the Indiana Legislature in proposing a resolution looking towards the taxation of foreign capital invested in the State has created considerable surprise and brought about much comment among Hoosiers in Washington. They believe the step is unwise. An action somewhat similar has been taken by the Legislature in Kansas, and the statesmen here from that State regard the move by their Legislature as injurious to the progress of the people and their institutions in Kansas. Representative Owen said to the Journal correspondent to-day: "The persons who have mortgages npon their farms will have to pay the proposed taxation, and they can least stand it. Tne money -loanerB ot the Last will simply raise their rate of interest, for the taxation of foreign capital invested in Indiana could be made to come from the creditors, who would heartily favor it, but we know that there is always a demand for all the money there may ' be to loan upon real estate, and while tho loans that have been made would have to stand the taxation 1 am afraid that the resnlt would be a withdrawal of much foreign capital, and an advance in the rate of interest upon local capital Looked at in any view, I do not see that we could derive any benefit from such a movement, and I am afraid that those who are already paying interest upon loans on their farms would have to bear the burden." Representative Evans, of Chattanooga, Tenn., who is a large real-estate-owner and has wide experience in financial matters, was present when Mr. Owen made these observations, and he said: "Instead of taxing the capital of aliens invested in the various States I would be in favor of a law to induce capital to come into a State or Territory and invest. Canital is always wary. We have for many years been striving to educate the people in the Last up to a point of believing that our real estate in the middle Southern States is good security, and that mortgage loans are the best investments; but some legislatures have been agitating all 6orts of propositions in opposition to Eastern and alien canital, and we again find ourselves involved in a necessity for taking up our securities, and I think the result is that the debtors always have to bear the burden. There is nothing which yields so quickly to tho touch of competition as capital. It adjusts itself readily. The only way to reduce interest is to have more capital than can find investment. When money is scarco interest is high. It would be folly to attempt to force Eastern capital or foreign capital to bear any considerable portion ot the burden of taxation. As soon as we tax this capital up will go the Interest. If we would abolish all interest laws and leave the rate of interest to take care of itself we would get money cheaper than by any other process. There are a number of States where the lawful rate of interest is 12 per cent., and loans are as low as 6 per cent. The reason for this is that the security is good and the laws fair to the creditor. Mark my word, if Indiana passes such a law as it proposes, the people who borrow money will have to pay tne tax." EX-GOVERNOR THAYER. Report that He Had Become Insane as a Result of Political Excitement Contradicted. Chicago, Jan. 18. Several dispatches were received here to-night from Lincoln, Neb., to the effect that ex-Governor Thayer had become insane. One was as follows: The long vigil of ex-Governor Thayer, during the exciting 6cenes of the opening of the Nebraska Legislature, when he remained in his apartments eighty hours for the purpose of keeping ouf. Governor Boyd, has resulted in a dan gerousattackof nervous prostration. To-night the ex-Governor is a raving maniac, and his physicians say his condition is alarming, owing to his ago. He is nearly seventy-Jive years old." At midnight the editor of the Lincoln State Journal telegraphed: "Just talked with ex-Governor Thayer's intimate political and personal friend, and he denies the report of bis insanity, and says the report is unqualifiedly false." TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. Barnes Bros., clothiers, of Hastings. Neb., have confessed judgment. Their liabilities are between $20,000 and $40,000. Assets unknown.

Wash., Jan. 18. One of the largest and most disastrous landslides that has ever occurred on the line of the Northern Pacific railroad in this State happened Friday night at Palmer, forty-three miles from this city. A mountain of earth and rock now covers the tracks of the road for a distance of over three hundred yards and travel has been completely shut oh. The road-bed of the line in the vicinity t f the accident is practically laid on the bid ) of a huge bluff. Friday night tbe rain made inroads upon the bank and two hours before midnight hundreds of tons of earth and rocks fell with a thunderous noise upon the road-bed and shook the ground with the force of a miniature earthquake. A large quantity of earth swept across tbe tracks, carrying them into the river also. For a distance of over nine hundred feet along the tracks tho fallen earth averaged a depth of ten feet. There is no way to build around tbe slide and passengers are transferred. Headache, neuralgia, dizziness, nervousness, spasms, sleeplessness, St. Vitus dance, cured by Dr. Miles's Nervine.

PEACE IN THE INDIAN COUNTRY

Congratulatory Address from Gen. Miles to the Soldiers in ilis Command. Eerlew of the Campaign from the Commencement ot the Trouble to the Surrender and Disarmament of the Hostiles. Officers and Men Complimented for Their Bravery Thoughout the War, Five Hundred Gnns Turned Over to Agent Pierce Secretary Noble Says the Time Has Come for the Sioux to Go to Work. THE WAR AT AN END. Official Declaration of General Miles Congratulatory Address to Ills Troops. Pine Ridge Agency, Jan. 18. General Miles's congratulatory address to the soldiers, and review of the war, is as follows: General Orders, So. 2.1 Headquarters Division of the Missouri. Pine ridge. 8. D., Jan. Id. $ The division commander takes pleasure in announcing tbe satisfactory termination of hostilities in this division. The disaffection among the Indians was widespread, involving many ditlerent tribes. The purpose of the conspiracy was to prodnce a general uprising of all tho Indians in the coming spring. The hostile element of the Sioux nation precipitated the movement by leaving their agencies, defying the authorities of tne government, destroying their property that had been given them for tbe purposes of civilization. They assembled in large force on almost impenetrable ground known as the MauvnisTerres, of South Dakota, and from that rendezvous maurading parties robbed both white citizens and friendly Indians on their reservation and through the adjacent settlements. To check this insurrection orders were giveu for the arrest of the chief conspirator, Sitting Bull, who was on the ove ox leaving his reservation to join tboso above mentioned. This was done on tbe 14th of December last After peaceably submitting to arrest by the officials of the government he created a revolt which brought to his assistance large numbers of his followers who ' assailed the Indian police. This resulted in his death and the tinal arrest of three hundred of his people, and removed the principal part of the disaffected element from the Standing Kock reservation. The second arrest was that of Big Foot's party, Dec. 21. lb'JO. This band was composed of outlaws from ditlerent tribes and who had defied the government officials and which escaped Dec. 22, lbOO. While these measures were boing carried into execution the troops were quickly moved between the hostile element in their stronghold and the settlemets, in such a way as to check their usual depredations and give protection to life and property of the citizens. The entire force of troops in the department of Dakota, under General linger, were judiciously placed where they would give the most protection to the settlements and enable them . to. intercept any body of hostiles should they escape. Brief delays were necessary to put the troops in proper position, as well as to give time for the work of disaffection to be carried on in hostile camp and strengthen tbe loyal element. Gradually the troops were moved to such positions as to render resistance of the hostiles useless, and they were forced back to. the agency. The escape of Big Foot made his recapture necessary. This was successfully ' done by a battalion of tbe Seventh Cavalry, fitiri 1 ipnfpnant.' Hawttiftrnft'a A At Vim Ant. of artillery, under Major Whiteside, iiee.'iSi, j uw, alter wliicn they were marched ueien miles to Wounded Knee and at 9 P. M. the command was joined by Colonel Forsythe. with tho second battalion of his regiment, with two Hotchkiss guns under Captain Capron, First Artillery, and Lieutenant Taylor's scouts. With this band of outlaws under control of the troops, the entire hostile camp moving in before them' to surrender and within a short distance of the agency, it was hoped aud expected that this serious Indian difficulty would be brought to a close without the loss of life of a single white man. '' THE ENGAGEMENT WITH BIO FOOT. While disarming Big Foot's band on the morning of Dec. 20, after a portion of their arms had been surrendered they were incited to hostility by the harangue of one of their false prophets, and in their attack and attempt to escape nearly all of the men were killed or wounded and serious loss of life occurred to a large number of non-combatants. During the engagement about 150 of tbe young warriors were moving into surrender, but went to the assistanceof Big Foot's baud and were engaged with the troops, and, returning, made a vigorous attack upon the agency, drawing tne tire of the Indian police and scouts. This caused a general alarm, and upwards of 3.000 Indians tiei from the agency to the canyons and broken gronnd adjacent to White Clav creek, and assumed a hostile attitude. The troops that were following, however, checked their further movements. The attempt of some of the warriors to burn buildings near the agency the following day resulted in a skirmish with the Seventh Cavalry, under Colonel Forsythe, promptly supported by Major Henry, of the 2inth Cavalry. On Jan. 1, 1891, a spirited engagement occurred on White river between a body of warriors numbering upwards of one hundred and Captain Kerr's troop of tbe Sixth Cavalry, in which the Indians were repulsed with loss. Major Tuppert battalion of Colonel Carr's command of the Sixth Cavalry were moving to his support. This was followed by several skirmishes between the Indian scouts under Lieutenant Casey, while making a reconnoisance service, and we sustained a serious loss in the death of that gallant officer. The troops under command of Brigadiergeneral Brooke gradually closed their lines of retreat and forced the hostiles, by superior numbers, back to the agency, where they are now under the guns of tbe command and the control of the military. While the service has sustained the loss of such gallant office s and patriots as Captain Wallace, Lieutenants Casey, Mann and tbe brave non-commissioned officers and soldiers who have given theirlives in the cause of good government, the most gratifying results have been obtained by the endurance, patience aud fortitude of both officers and meu. The work of disarming the hostiles has, in a large measure, been accomplished, but will be continued by a portion of the command now in the held and by the agency officials. As soon as practicable the troops will return to their stations, and will take with them tbe assurance that their cervices have been of great value to the country In the suppression of one of the most threatening Indian outbreaks, and that tbey have htn enabled to keep between the hostile Indians and tbe unprotected settlements to the extent that not a citizen's life has been lost beyond the boundaries of the Indian reservations. In announcing this fact, the division commander desires to express his thanks and highest appreciation of tbe loyal and efficient service that has been rendered. The mention of individual names of either officers or soldiers for meritorious conduct will be deferred until sufficient time is given to ascertain each heroic act, in order that it may be properly recognized and duly rewarded. By command: Major-Genkral Milep. Henry C. Cormn. Asst. Adjt.-Gen. General Brooke has been ordered toestabhis headquarters at tbe agency, and this afternoon, with Major Benham, inspector of rifle-practice, of the Department of the Platte, and Lieutenants Roe and Truitt of his stall arrived, and have been allotted tents near General Miles's quarters. Five Huudred Guns Surrendered. Pine Kidue Agency. Jan. 18. Mote guns were turned over to Agent Pierce to-day bj

the hostiles. They told him systematic search was being made in the tepees and that all weapons fonnd would be turned over. The custodian said to-day tive hundred guns had been surrendered and at headquarters it is claimed the arms turned over exceed in number tboso received in any other campaign. Last night several shots were fired in the hostile camp, but nobody was hurt. Today the Indians were gloomy and sullen. The friendlies informed the correspondent that a number of troublesome young men still have bad hearts and cannot be converted. General Miles is meeting with some opposition in his plan of segregating the several Indian tribes. Notwithstanding, the Cheyennes had started to Tongue river the tribe is still detained outside the breastworks awaiting permission from the Interior Department to move. General Miles will probably leave for the East early next week and General Brooke will resume command of the forces in the held. This afternoon the wife of Few Tails arrived in a badly wounded condition. She was tho victim of wbite men's malice. Four weeks ago be, her husband and several other Indians left the agency ou a pass from General Brooke to hnnt for eagle feathers. When near Bear Butte they were set upon by some white men. Few Tails was killed and his wife badly wounded. The rest of the party scattered, and has not since been beard from. For the past nine days tbe woman has been walking to this place and had covered VjO miles, when, this morning, she reached the camp of the Sixth Cavalry, and was thence brought to the hospital in an ambulance. SHOULD WORK FOR A LIYIG.f

Secretary Noble Thinks the Time nas Come AVhen tbe Sioux Should Use the Flow. Washington, Jan. 18. The Post prints the following: Secretary Noble talked freely, yesterday, of the Indian situation, now that the trouble is practically over, concerning tbe policy that should be pursued by the government in its treatment ot them in the future. First of all, be be lieves the Indians have do legitimate use for fire-arms, and therefore should be required to dispose of them. The Secretary said he thought the intellect that could master the mechanical intricacies of the Winchester rifle was fully capable of comprehending the usefulness and the noble simplicity of the plow. lie proposed to give the hostile Sioux an opportunity as well as an incentive to earn his own living. Of the 244,000 Indians in the United States, over two-thirds were earning their own living and making material progress in civilization. The other third were depend ing largely, if not entirely, unon the gov ernment for support. Of this latter class a large majority were Sioux, and tbey had become boastful, arrogant and dictatorial. They had been allowed to come to Washington every year or two aud had become deeolv impressed with their own importance. Some of those who are most vehement in their demands that they snail continue to he fed and wholly maintained at the expense of the government are the l J M ill. owners 01 quite large nerus 01 came, iroui which they realize considerable sums of money. They insist with much gusto that the government shall feed them, and when their rations are slightly reduced they daub on the paint and start out on the war-path. "1 am in favor," said the Secretary, of making these people work for their living. just as we white people are doing. They are strong, able-bodied men. of average in telligence, and there is no reason under tbe sun why they should not earn their bread. The government has located them with 'great generosity and consideration. Espe cially is this true during the last nail cent ury. In the early days the settlers treated them as murderers of Innocent men. women and children and the insatiable ene mies of the white race. Latterly they have been treated with more than kindness, and so they have come to believe that tho white people are under never-ending obligations to them." . The time has fully come, in the opinion of the Secretary, when the hostile Sioux' should be compelled to do something for their own support. Tbey should be treated with perfect fairness and justice, but work should enter largely into any policy or scheme for their civilization. HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE.

Jan. 18. Despite denials from Washington, it is positively known thatMr. Blaine has recently made overtures to tbe Canadian government with a view of . establishing closer trade relations between tbe two countries. A Cabinet Minister to-night said that he was bound by his oath of office not to divulge the condition of affairs, and even were he at liberty to do so, it would be questiona ble at this juncture to tell how far matters had progressed. He had hopes, however. that matters at issue between the two countries wonld be amicably settled. ' Sullivan Wants to Sleet Slavin. CniCAGO. Jan. IS. John L.

TBAGEDY IN A POOR-HOUSE George Worbnrton, an . Aged Cripple Murdered by a Whisky-Crazed Negro. The Latter Overpowered and Placed in the Boone County Jail Tennessee Politician and His Daughter and Son-in-Law Shot. CRIPPLE MURDERED. Inmate of an Indiana Poor-lloase Stabbed to Death by a Whisky-Crazed Negro. 8pecial to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Lebanon.. Ind.. Jan. 18. One year ago George Worburton, born in Monroe county in 1815, the father of three children, who are in moderately good cirenmstances, was. on account of his physical condition and lack of means for self-support, given a home at the poor-farm, two miles south of this city. The old man, who had jus passed nis seventy-sixth birthday, has had to use two crntches to get around on, bein i: almost helpless. This morning as the bell tang, warning all inmates to prepare for. breakfast, Samuel Cnrtis, a big negro, who had been given quarters temporarily, on account of his unfitness for work caused by drunkenness, became wild, and, drawing a huge knife that he had concealed on his person, exclaimed that he was going to clean out the whole house. Worburton was the nearest to him, and he jumped upon him, plugging the knife seven times into his frail form. When the old man staggered and fell Curtis grabbed one of his victim's crutches and, as the old man lay at his feet, he struck him several desperate blows over the head, lie then start ed for Mrs. Shumaker's quarters, . the matron of the institution. Htr son, who had been summoned, by the screams of Worburton, arrived on the scene and at the muzzle of a revolver succeeded, by the aid of others who had by that time arrived, in overpowering and placing the infuriated negro in the dungeon connected with the asylum. A messenger was then sent for the eberift to come and take the prisoner to jail. Attention was then turned to Worburton, who was found in a pool of blood, with life extinct. The lifeless form was placed on a cot and the coroner sum moned. In forty minutes after the tragedy tbe sheriff, accompanied by two deputies, arrived, and as they swung the iron door open and demanded Curtis to surrender he attacked them with a pocket-knife, but was quickly overpowered and brought to jail here. John bhumaker was appointed to tne enpcrintendency of the poor-farm ten years ago. but died five years later, after which his wife, with the aid of her son, was put in charge, and was always considered efficient both by Kepnhlicah and Democratic superiors. Mth. Shumaker attended to the wants of tue female wards, while her son looked after the male patients. For some cause, unexplainable, Curtis took exceptions to Mrs. bhumaker. and abont ten days ago, as reported l3' one of the attendants, made threats that he would kill her if be had to clean out tbe whole house, lint little thought was given to this threat at the time, but young Sbumaker had been keeping as close watch on the negro as circumstunces would permit. His crime at such an early hour this morning, without attending provocation, proved his inward desire to carry out his threat. Several persons here are of the opinion that the negro is insane, while others say he was alwaysconsidered a desperate and dangerous man. TRAGEDY AT CHATTANOOGA. Judge Warder, Ills Daughter and Her Husband Shot The Former the Aggressor. Chattanooga, Tenn., Jan. 18. A horrible tragedy occurred here to-day. S. M. Fugette, cashier of the South Chattanooga Savings Bank, was shot and killed by his father-in-law. Judge J. A. Warder, who is city attorney ot Chattanooga. Judge Warder is shot in two places, one ball penetrating his breast at the right nipple and the other took off the index linger of the left hand. Mrs.. Fugette is the only child of Judco Warder and she is shot in the right thigh, a very dangerous wound. From the evidence at. the coroner's inquest it appears that Judge Warder came home at 1 o'clock in a very drunken condition and immediately went to Mr. and Mrs. Fugette's room, where tbe shooting took place as soon as he entered. Mr. and Mrs. Fugette lived with Judge and Mrs. Warder in College street. There were seven shots bred, tive by Judge Warder and two by Mr. Fugette. It appears Mr. Fugette was the first person shot, lie was found with a newspaper in one hand and a pistol with two empty chambers in the other. Mrs. Fugette was lying over him with her arms entwining him, piteously crying for some one to save him. Judge Warder staggered into a neighbor's bouse and is now there in a precarious condition. Mrs. Fugette is also uuable to speak, and what took place in the room aside from the 6hooting is not known. From evidence before the coroner's jury it appears that Judge Warder frequently came borne drunk and abused bis wife and daughter, and the women would appeal for protection to Mr. Fugette. Trouble of this kind occurred late Saturday night and Mr. Fugette quieted his father-in-law. . Air. and Mrs. Fugette have been married but two years, have been living happily together, and have a five-months-old baby. Mr. Fugette was a young man of about twenty years of age, popular, and a successful business man. Mrs.' Fturette is a very handsome woman.

For six years he was United States district attorney for the Middle district of Tennessee, appointed by President Hayes, lie was a brave, sallant Union soldier, and is one of tbe most prominent of Republican politicians in this State. He owns considerable property and has a large, lucrative ?ractice in this city. He is a man of the lighest culture, of most polished and affable manners.
