Died of a Broken Heart.
Wheeling, Sept. 2. From Har
;on county, near Cadiz, comes
what seems to have . been a genu
ine case of broken heart, which
caused death under the most
mournful circumstances. It seems
that a Mr. Nash had been keen-
ng company with the young lady,
whose name was Miss McCiban,
for some time, but had made up
his mind to break oft' the attach
ment. He called on Miss McCiban
last Tuesday evening, and in the
course ot their conversation an
nounced his intention by saying
they had better separate aud end
their courtship. This statement,
coming as it did lroui one whom
Miss McCiban had permitted her
self to fall deeply in love with, was
a terrible shock to her, and she
fell speechless to the floor and im
lnediately weut into spasms, which
continued until Thursday, when
she died, never having become
rational enough during the 36
hours thilt intervened between the
time of the shock and her death
to hear or know anything, r "

Well, lellow citizens, when you

laugh at other men who to day
refuse to honor bad practices which

P. S. In looning over my order
books, I find tbat when Mr. Cald
well delivered the last lot of flour
there was some irregularity," which
induced the Commissary- of the
Army to refuse acceptance. I
promptly cut the red' tape by or
dering the Commissary to accept
the delivery at once, so that I
saved Mr. Caldwell much trouble
iu setting the flour passed and in
obtaining his money. Thus, with
out knowing him, I did him a favor
which must have been worth much
to him. Let him hurry up his
proposition to me.

There are lots of channels in which
I can make myself useful. By the

I did bun a very greatTfayor ' some
time ago without knowing him.
A large lot of belts and cartridge
boxes were detained here because
the ordinance officers wauted more
time to inspect them. But the
troops needed thejn, and I ordered
them to be hurried to the front,
and Caldwell got his money. You
see ! I want him to send me a
definite proposition at once.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Business called me away up
among the highlands of Chattoo
ga, and I stopped over night at
Rome and beard the boys speak
for a prize in the opera house.
There was a nice audience gather
ed and half a dozen manly youths
displayed their eloquence, and they
atl did well and I felt proud of them
for they have a laudable ambition,
and the people ought to encourage
all such commendable exercises.
There was not one indiffernt speak
er though I was obliged to think
that one spoke a little too much
with hifl legs, and another with his
arms, another spoke long, another
did not speak distinct enough, and
another put on most too much the
atrical agony, but a few years
and some practice will cure these
defects, and 1 can't help saying for
the benefit and comfort of the boys
who got ho medals that there were
several of us who would have given
a amerenc verdict trom the one
that was given. Then there was
the exquisite melody of the solo
music from the ladies that was
worth a day's journey to hear, and
if any better was ever rendered I
never beard it and I don't want to,
for I was eleyated about as high as
my limited musical nature could
bear. Those delicious notes of
"Bonnie Bessie' tbat floated so
softly in the air and those swiss
echoes that died away so sweetly
among the mountains are haunting
me still and sometimes when I
think of death it seems as if it
would have no terrors, could' I pass
away, with such melody near by.
Tbeu there was that - curious,
humorous fantastic recitation of
"flow Ruby Played" that could
not have been done better, and
kept the house convulsed with
laughter, and then came the cornet
playing by a stripling of a boy
tbat was in delightful contrast to
all that had gone before and left us
all calm and serene.. The finale
was the presentation of the medals,
which the young prolcssor did in
happy style and happier speech,
and we ieio tne nan reeling no re
grets, for we bad encouraged a
good occasion and got far more
than the worth ot onr money. Long
may the library live to give to the
people of Rome such innocent aud
pleasant recreations.
The. next day found us on onr
journey, and as we neared Taylor's
ridge we beard the rumbling of
distant thunder and saw the dark
clouds gathering in our front, and
so we pressed the - good horse to
the top ana lrom that high point
the'scene was grand, gloomy and
peculiar. The beautiful valley of
Chattooga was before us down in
the lap of nature, down in the vide
cradle that was flanked by Taylor's
ridge on one side and Lookout
mountain on the other. Dark and
angry clouds hovered, over the
scene. The lightning flashed, the
thunder pealed and made the
mountains tremble. The surging
wind bent low the tree tops and
mourned among the pines. It was
a scene never to be forgotten, for
we saw nature in her awful grand
eur and felt our own humility.
Turning a trembling gaze towards
a high perpendicular chit that
skirted the mountain brow I saw
or thought I saw (for my vision is
growing old and dim) three huge
serpents upon the face of the 'rock
three serpents in a row with
beads erect and colored white and
red, and for a moment I was terror
stricken, for I thought maybe it
was a sign from the wrath of heav
en, a warning, a supernatural vis
ion, and so hurrying on my glass
es, I looked again and was reliev
ed, for I saw that it was only S S
S tbat was painted there. Not far
off was another sign upon another
roek and it was ''Lucy Hinton."
Alas, ' poor Lucy I wouder how

Business is one thing and play is

to think they had better stop. The

Mr. Allgood and his associates
have recently determined to get
rid of the heavy load and to build
a rail road from Trion, either to
Rome or to Chattanooga, and are
now negotiating with the citizeus
of both places to see who will give
Trion the most aid and encourage

speedily built, either to one city or
the other is now a certainty, and it
is more than probable it will be
built to both. Trion means busi

New York. Sept. 12. At the
Tammany Hall meeting this eve
ning an address' ''To the Demo
cratic Party of the United States
was reported. After referring to j
the fact, that the Tammany organi
zation is the oldest political organ
ization in the Unite! States, and
to its past history, the address
states that tariff agitation by Tam
many Hall resulted in drawiug "
attention to the j necessity of such
reduction of duties as would pro
vide means sufficient for the re
quirements of the government, and
at the same, timtk afford incidental
protection necessary to American .
labor. The address continues.
"We have advocated at all times a
reduction of taxation municipal,
State and federal. Home rule ami
local self government have always .
been cardinal principles of Demo
crats in Tammany Hall, We have
at all times opposed centralization
of power as dangerous to our re
publican institutions, and have not
hesitated to condemn the unneces
sary, nnjust and undemocratic in
terference of the State Legislature
and executive in our municipal af
fairs. We championed the cause
of anti-monopoly in 1881 aud
the ensuing campaign of 1882, that .
resulted in the triumphant elec
tion of the present Governor of
the State."
The address then recites that
the Tammany organization favored
many measures before the State
Legislature but which were defeat
ed by Republicans united with
recalcitrut Democrats ' and by"
vetoes of- Gov. Cleveland. " The
address says that other instances
might be mentioned to warranjt
the opposition shown the nomina
tion .of Cleveland for the Presiden
cy, it then canvasses e rents con
nected witb the Tilden and Han
cock campaigns, claiming loyalty
to party on the pari of Tammany.
It then refers to the last National
Democratic Convention, and says:
"While we were celebrating the
anniversary of our national inde
pendence our opponents took every
occasion to prejudice the minds of
delegates at Chicago against us.
We presented our arguments to
individual aud assembled dele-.
gates of the National Convention ,
and were debarred the right to '
speak except by consent of the
delegates from other States and
were prohibited under the undemo
cratic unit rnle from casting our
ballots for candidates of onr choice
We failed not in our duties to our
constituents who sent us, nor to
the party whose representatives we "
were, and if any mistake has been
made it is not of our doings, and
cannot be charged to us. The can
didates of the Democratic party
having been nominated in the
National Convention, following the
uniform and unbroken record ot
our organization, we acquiesce in
the will of the majority of the rep
resentatives of the party, although
we believe tbat win to nave been
unwisely expressed. There is but
one alternative to ns to sever our
connection with the Democratic
party. This we cannot and will
not do. 4 In justice to our con
science and judgement we cannot
pursue that course, for we believe
that tune win disconnect the great
Democratic party from the leader
ship of men who have used their
power unwisely and detrimentally
to its success. We acquiesce in al
though protesting against the uu
wise and injudicious coarse which
they pursued. Under the Demo
cratic party a citizen is protected
at home and abroad, and the re
lease of Martin Kostza is an In
stance to show with what celebrity
the protection of the United States
was thrown around an American
citizen under a Democratic admin
istration and Secretary of State
the late W. L. Marcy in compari
son to the halting policy in the Be- -publican
Secretary of StateJames
G. Blame during the Presidency
of Garfield in allowing McSweeny
and other adopted citizens ef the
United states, against whom no
charges were alleged or proven, to
linger for months in British dun
geons. We believe in the Demo
cratic party and its immortal prin
cipals. Men make mistakes; its
representatives and leaders may
be inconsistent, time-serving and
lack the strength of their convic
tions, bnt in it are liberty to be
found, freedom or thought, free
dom of speech and action, and pro- -tection
to every citizen alike.
"For reasons . herein set forth,
