SOUTHERN b T A N U A K D M CM 1 N N V I LLE, TENNESSEE. SATURDAY, FEB 7, ltfqi. Looking Down on a Siv .sVonn Fr"rt Mount Washington. If tlier whs no ntlx-r diversion on Mount WiHlnnton, wiU-hlnuT '!' intermittent extim'timi and yener tionot tlie cImihU Htfurds sullii-ieit interest tooccupy 'miK-h of tin tin. Tliere are "hf.st days" for this how ever, as wall h for the other sights. The summit of the moun tain must hecleur Hnd the sun should shine brijrhtly. Then, if u snow storm forms, say mile helnw, one of the most enchanting of all naturul convulsions delilits the observer. The unsubstantial formations rival in grandeur the solid mountains 'them selves. Disturbed by the warm air below them, and chilled by the cold blasts nnove, the groat seas of vapor begin to roll and tumble and pitch, until a regular tempest forms and sways them all. The billows form great swells and depressions. They break angrily against the rocky mountain, and their snowy spray flies high in the air. Rising and fal ling, twisting and tangling, they tell of the falling tl.tkt-s and grinding snow-dust witli whtfh the earth i being visited. Tlte more the com motion, the more active is the (all going on below. How they toss an-! tumble, and how magnificent are the changes of light and shade ! I witnessed the finest r Ikav I ever saw of this nature, one afternoon, about half an hour before sunset. The great orb seemed to sink into a sea of satlVon ; yet it shone with al most painful brilliancy. Suddenly, upon the cloud surface in front of m.v stand point, a mile below my feet, a great muss of shining light appeured. It was as brilliant as the sun and of about the same color. It was a "snn dog" the image of the sun reflected on the white bosom of the snow storm. It remained in sight for some time and was caught by the camera. ' The snow-storm continued, and the sun departed amid an atten dance of clouds equal in glory to any summer sunset I ever saw. The col oring upon the upper surface of that raging suow-storm was beyond the gift of the painter to counterfeit. From "Mount Washington in Win ter," by Edward L. Wilson, in Feb ruary Scribner. the senior proprietor of this paper has iM'en subject to frequent colds for some years, which were sure to lay him up if not doctored at once HeQnds that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is reliable. It opens the se cretions, relieves the lungs and re stores the system to a healthy condi tion. If freely used as soon as the cold has been contracted and before it has become settled in the system, it greatly lessens the attack and often cures in a single day what would otherwise have been a severe cold. Northwestern Hotel Reporter , ls Moines, Iowa. 50 cent bottles for sale by Ritchey & Uostiek. The New Kansas Senator. Topeka, Kas., Jan. 27. William Alfred Peffer, who becomes Senator in the seat of John James Ingalls.was born in Cumberland County, Pa. Sept. 19, 1831. He was master of a small school between the ages of 15 and 19 years, after which he went to California to dig gold. He amassed considerable money in two years and became a farmer near Crawfordsville Ind. Joining the Eighty-third Illi nois Volunteers in 18(i3, he served til the close of the war, having been Quartermaster, Adjutant '.and Judge Advocate, devoting the latter end of his service to law. He began the practice of law in Clarksville, Tenn. auer tne surrender, and remained there fifteen years, removing to Wil son County, Kansas, and establishing a claim. Two years later he became editor of the Fredonia Journal, and afterwards of the Coffey ville Journal in ism ne tooK a uepuDiican seat in the State Senate and was a delegate to the National Convention in 1880, Since then he has been editor of the Kansas Farmer at Topeka. He be longs to the Alliance, and since join ing it has made a bitter fight against Ingalls, lasting over a year. In per sotal appearance he is far from pre possessing and is inclined to be nar row and dogmatical in his politica views. Judge Peffer outlined his policy as Senator to an Associated Press re porter as follows: He said he favored the absolute unlimited coinage of si ver and a conservative expansion o: the currency along other lines. He was in favor he said, of protection to home industries, but believed that the best protection did not always re' suit from high tariff. Protection by tariff, as a general principle, ho sau was wrong. The high tariff shoul be eallesl in t: aid only the indivh i iiijr industries. He-now f4v. v an Hverage ud valorem duty of :. ,.!

'K ,tii , V"ii promised to go for the Milieis this MOernoon, and take your eii down lo the long hill, don't you remember?" "() yes, hut I alnt going to do it. nele Frank told Buster and me to wait at the pump, Ht free o'clock, and he would give us a sleigh-ride." "An' he has twostwingsof bells," added Ruster conclusively. 'But you promised Katie," remon strated the older sister, "and the lit- e Millers will watch for you, and he isappninted when you don't come." "O, it's no matter," answered Kat ie, carelessly, "another time will do." Uncle Frank was reading his paper u the back parlor, while this little ilk was going on out in the hall; he laid down the Daily News when he heard Katie's last words, and mked very grave. A half hour later he went out of the door with overcoat nd muffler on, pulling on his driv- ng gloves as he went. He still look ed very grave for such a smiling old fellow as Uncle Frank, and as ha walked down to the stables, shaking lis head, you might have heard him nutter to himself, "It's a great pity, tut they've got the lesson to learn." At "free" o'clock, by the faste.-t time in the house, the ' two children were booted, and gloved and capped and waiting by the pump; never mind tlte cold that made their noses red; never mind the snow that wet their curls, wouldn't they have a jol- y time when the gray horse with wo rows of bells came around the 'orner? But the gray horse didn't come; many a belled sleigh pased, many a fur-capped boy and girl looked out at atie and Buster, but no uncle Frank made his appearance. Sor rowfully the disappointed children went home, aud about five o'clock Uncle Frank came in, In a fine glow or good humor. "Well, I've had a fine ride," he cried, "I took the two ittle Millers with me." "O Uncle Frank, why didn't you take us?" exclaimed Katie, bursting nto tears,."you promised!" "Eh? 0 yes,bother,so I did, but it didn't matter you know, any other time would do as well." Undo Frank's eyes twinkled, Kate knew that , he was thinking of her speech about the Millers,t hough she wond ered how lie knew about it. But that lost ride tnught Katie, and perhaps even little Buster, what it felt like to be disappointed in a promised treat. It was a good afternoon lesson.

The People Are Not Calling for It Tullahomii Guardian. We notice that another effort is be ing made to iduce the legislature to enact a railroad commission bill We have heard of no special demand by the people for any such measure and from what we can learn the com mission is proposed at the instance of a street railroad monopoly. It seems to us that the legislature might anon to drop all railroad agitation for the present. The people are not in a hu raor lor any such foolishness. There are too many important and needfu matters to engage their attention for them to be spending time on meas' ures not especially demanded by the public welfare. If the Nashville Electric Street Railroad Company has any giievan ces to settle with other railroads, let it settle them in its own way. The courts are open to it and it is big enough to do its own fighting. It ought not to call on the legislature to do a thing for it which could be done by the courts if its claim was such as a court of justice would entertain. The general laws of the state are or ought to be such as would protect the people and at the same time deai firmly and justly with railroads or any other corporation.
