ONE OF THE PRINTERs.-We were not a little
amused day or two since, while conversing with
our friend Parhan, of the Chattanooga GGsette, in
listening to some nklings of his experience in the
way of newspaper publishing. He commenced the
publication of his paper about fourteen years ago
in Chattanooga, then almost wilderness. The
editorials were written and most Of the type set,
for the first number, while floating do,pn The riuer
ioih has printing Office on iat.boa Landing
where Chattanooga now stands, and finding houses
rather n commodity, he located his office
under Of The forest trees, and printed bis paper
there, making barrel-hoad serve the purpose of
his editorial table.
After a while, he changed the location Of his Office
10 a Bldcksmih's shop, where he continued for
sometime to issue his paper. lie had chosen the
right spot, however, as subsequent events have
proved; for where fourteen years ago this pioneer
issued his paper in the open air under tree Is now
n large and hourishng town, with the steam car
daily whistng through its streets, and steamboats,
visiting its wharf, laden with the rich products OF
the vast area Of country bordering on the Tenncs-
and its tributaries. Parham, VIC arc glad to
know, has rcaped some Of the merited fruits Of his
perseverance and industry, and is now, the say
ing goes, very well 10 do in the world His
GGseue appears regularly ON our table, and is a

SUICIDE BY A WoMAN.-An inquest was held yes
terday on the body of Helen Puessegar, a native of
England, who terminated her own existence by in
hicting wound in her breast with a bowie knife,
about O'Clock on Friday evening. Deceased had
been for some time laboring under depression of
spirits III consequence of financial difficulties. She
kept small store in Prieur street, the goods in
which had been seized by the sheriff for debt. Mrs
Puessegar's mother had lived with her. and n short
time before the fatal act was committed the mother
was requested to purchase some poison, in order
that both she and daughter might take itand die
together and thus get rid at once Of all the stings
and arrows of outrageous fortune" The mother,
however, objected; but with too desperate a cour-
age, after having kissed her mother, and then the
barred blade which she held in her hand, plunged
the latter in her bosom and died without groan.
Deceased was about thirty years OF age.

New SPECIES OF CoTToN. Colonel Greene whose
highly cultivated plantation is the island pppo-
site this city, has left round table, where
they can be seen by the public three branches aken
from the cotton stalks now growing on his ground.
The seed from which the cotton was grown
sent about two years since to the late Captain Swi-
ney, of this city, by whom they were given to
Colonel Greene, with view to ascertain, by plant
ing them, the qualities of the species; but Colonel
q. did not learn the name of the cotton, nor from
whence the seed came. This is the second growth
from the seed, the first planting having given him
only few stalks, from which he saved the seed
which he planted this year The stalks now stand
ing measure about five feet in height The limbs
are from twelve to fourteen inches in length and
are covered with bos, some Of which have opened
yielding short staple cotton Of remarkable fine
ness. The greatest peculiarly of the plant is the
large number Of bos which il bears, as many
80 having been counted on single stalk,
and 0 bolls on limb only that number of inches
in length. The boil opens freely, and the cotton
adheres well to the boil which renders it less LA
BILE TO be beaten out by the weather than ordinary
cotton. The limbs from which the sten of the
cotton, being short, the plant can be more closely
cultivated than any other. Colonel Greene thinks
that four plants could be accommodated on the
space ordinarily occupied by two. The plant has
the appearance of being very hardy, and certainly
is-udg ing from the lourshing condition of those
on Colonel Greene's plantation-well adapted to
| our soil. But few Of the bols the limbs in our
possession matured, and we did not learn
the time of planting unable TO speak of the
time required TO bring the species TO maturity.
Colonel Greene, whose judgment in such matters
is better informed than own, thinks very favor
ably Of the species, both in regard TO its quality
| and productiveness Perhaps some of our planting
friends have received some of the same seed and
will be able 10 give the public further information
in regard to it.-Sauannah Morning Netos.

FuS.-This is the thing. There
Der sided, blue sorts Of folks, who do not to
have relish for it but what do they live for?
They know nothing about the true enjoyments of
life. 1t is only your merry, laughing soul who
really does live. He it is for whom the, sun shines,
but more especially the moon and stars.
The other morning found ourselves in the
presence of one of these true gentlemen at the
watch house. He had been captured by the envi-
Gus police on the preceding night and tyranncally
deprived of his liberty just the point of time at
which his capabilities for enjoyment were most
keen-just as he had facetiously procured a supper
and some drink, and was in the act Of cursng and
abusing the presumptuous people who mathematical
the pay ofhim. At the moment We saw him his fun
all over but that not his fault. How could he
be funny while deprived Of his natural liberty,
and held in custody by set Of men he so heartily
despised. He had two friends 10 come TO him in his
adversely. To be sure, they not good, jolly
souls like himself and the companions of the pre-
ceding night but, the latter were not at hand
this morning, the dull sober men, of little spirit
welcome.

costs for you, and Bill will enter as security for
your good behaviour for six months to come"
4" Thank'e," said John, his eyes cast down, and
his hat overshading his face.
But, john" continued the dull friend, "by
your misconduct last night you forfeited bond
lately given for your good behaviour, and your
friends must now make up the amount and pay it,"
Johns funny friends were probably not here
meant
"And, John, If you forfeit this we will have it to
pay Also"
Don't fear" said John, Z" | won't forfeit it this
time" But John did not cay this in funny way.
Ihope not Johu," the dull friend continued. al
hope not; and if you could understand the matter
rightly you would not have done il in the other
case. They who pay this money for you work
hard for Is, and az night have anxious thoughts
about you when they should be at rest; but you
sport at night, and rest in the day while they la
Dor. Forfeit this bond, too, if you can face any
one Of them after it,"
The two dull friends departed, taking John with
them; but John did not, we iancied that he did
not, look funny. We even thought John looked
more stupid and dull than they.

FLYING MACHSE.-The practcability Of navi-
eating the air by means OF a flying machine has
been satisfactorily demonstrated and settled as he
thinks, by Mr.. John Taggart, Of Charlestown, Mas
sachusetts who is at present TO be seen with his in
vcntion in Dunlap's Hotel, 1875 Fulton street. The
flying machine consists of car, to the front of
which is attached a pair Of wings somewhat like
the screws used by propellcrs and float or balloon
fastened 10 the in the ordinary way at an eeva-
tion Of six or eight feet. The wings, which may
be moved In any direction, 10 assist in the
cent or descent OF the machine, gro put in motion
by turning n small axle running through the cen
ire Of the car The machine may be guided in any
direction by means of ruddcr, the slightcst var-
alton of which IT obeys with wonderful precision.
The float or balloon, which is pear shaped, 10
thirty three feet nine inches in height, having a
diameter of some twelve feet, and the whole weight
of the machine, when ready for ascension, is three
hundred and fifty pounds, in addition TO which II
will carry with case over one thousand pounds.
The inventor told us that he had already made
one ascension in it, for the purpose Of practically
testing its powers. The ascent was made from the
commons az Lowell, Massachusetts, in the pres
once of a large number Of spectators. Owing TO
some fault in initiating the balloon, quantity Of
steam allowed to intermix with the gas, thus
greatly diminishing ito buoyancy, so that when the
ropes which held IL 10 the ground were cut the ma
chine ascendod only TO the height OF n few feet,
when 1t fell down, 10 the imminent peril of the
cupant.
After two or three Intellectual attempts, Mr.. Tag
CART elevated the wings considerably above the line
of the car, which had the desired effect, and away
went the machine, far above the heads Of the spec
tators, until II had dwindled in their gaze TO the
size of n swallow. After attaining considerable
elevation, Mr.. I proceeded in the direction OF Law
renee, whence he passed to Andovcr and Bradford,
over which latter place he struck current Of air
which carried him al apd rate TO Redding. From
this again he passed TO Salem, having crossed por-
ton of tho sea in his passage from Redding, and
alightcd at n distance of nine miles from Lowell,
accomplishing the whole voyage In an hour and
twenty minutes.
Mr. Taggart says that at one time he had OBJ
tanned an elevation where the air became 20 rari
he'd that II was with the greatest difficulty he could
retain his powers of animation; his hands and
other parts of bs body swelled, and blood spurted
from bis mouth and nosc
The invention, he tells us, has met with the sup
port and countenancc of several Of the scientific
men IN Massachusetts. II is the intention Of Mr..
Taggart TO make an ascent in this city in the
course OF two or three weeks. He has already in
vited some OF our most eminent maohiniss and
men OF science TO examine his invention.
