Mr. Morrison wss tbe center
group, and was earnestly pre

up of men who think the great tariff

and give some one else a chance.
Among the latter was Thomas Mul-

Legislature, who will not vote for Mor-
Mr. Mulhern said that if Mor-
risen withdrew,Black or Oberly would
stand a good chance of election. Oberly

this seems to settle the question as fat

Morrison men, several of whem cam®
to-day, are understood to he here to
checkmate him, and a very pretty little
game of political chess is going

Accounts from Arkansas say that

Unless there is a quick subsidence of

British reports from the Somdan say
that Osman Iligna is again collecting

The Supreme Courts of Nsw York
and Massachusetts have settled the
matter aa to who owns a medical pre

the transaction. The druggist may,
on hie own responsibility renew the
drugs, for he ie a merchant, and has
right to sell drugs in any shape. He
is not bonnd to give a copy of tbe pre

Tbe Russian diplomats
sand into tba eyes of my lord Grenville.
Mark the adroitness,the shrewd evasion
of a direct statement on tbe pait of tbe
Russian, if the words as reported by
Granville in the Honse of Lords are
correctly reported: “The Russian gov
ernment have stated their readiness t<
consider .he question of withdrawing
their troopu, should the decision of the
boundary commission prove to,be
against them." That does not say
point blank that Russia will withdraw
her troops shonld the decision go
against her, not at all. Russia sug
gestively intimates that it will take
the propriety on her part of doing
into- consideration. Bnppose, as
quite likely the case, she refuses,
reflection, to withdraw her handily
placed troops in spite ot the commis
sioners’ report? Then the bottom
will drop out again, only with this
difference that Rossis will have gained
immense advantage in the meantime
by lliis diplomatic delay.

Raleioh, N. O., May 7.—Wilming

occupied by James Peadrick, whose
family consists of himself, wife, five
children and two sisters of his wife,the
eldest sister being about 16 years old.
To the latter tbe apparition was first
made manifest. She rays that
the ghost of her mother, Mrs. Kinyon

White Lake, Bladen county, whence
the two sisters came. The other sis

The bid ac-cepted is said to be folly

State than any of the other bids made.
The expense of getting out the bonds
will be abont *$4,000, but the premium
amounts to $10,000. Th. sale ot
these bonds will bring about an annual

the good will of the minister
who was so pronounced in his ill will,
the real secret is in the following story
Jnst before the inauguration eomi
friends in New York State wrote t<
Mrs. Sunderland expressing the desin
to Washington to witneBt the
inaugural ceremonies. Mrs. Sander-
land wished to write back an invita-
for them to be her guests. Bui
they were warm lriends of Mr. Clave
land, and her husband had been so bit
ter against him that she said to he:
daughter: “Your father will be sun
something to hnrt their feel
ings," She decided after much trouble
of mind to gently hint this
friends and relieve herself of apparent
inhospitality. To her surprise, they
replied, thet they shonld not “mind
lything be said, or feel hart in the
least.” They came, and the united ef
forts of Mrs. Sunderland and her
daughter kept the doctor pretty well
behaved. Bat after the inauguration
the friends wished to go to the White
House.
Mrs. Sunderland thought it only
courteous to accompany her guests,and
wanted her husband to go with them.
He flatly and firmly refused. His wife
uch distressed, but went with the
friends to Miss Cleveland’s first Satur
day reception. When tbe ladies won
introduced to Mrs. Hoyt, the Presi
dent’s sister, the latter held her hand
and said: “Tell me if you ar
wife of the Rev. Dr. Sunderland,
my deaT mother’s pastor? Did your
husband ever preacb at Batavia, New
York? “Yes, when a very youngraan>
before he had a call to Washington,”
replied Mrs. Sunderland, a little em
barrassed, as she thought of her hus
band's feelings towaid the president.
'Oh, I’m so delighted to meet yon,
and I want to see yonr husband. My
brother will be so glad to meet him,
I hope you will come again and
bring Dr. Sunderland,” said Mrs.
Hoyt. When Mrs. Sunderland told
her hnsbsnd he slowly said, “Well, I
retract what I’ve said, bnt I
go some time. A few daye after, the
family at the White House talked
their mother’s young pastor, and deci
