The Man WHO DIDN'T LECTURE FOR PAY.
The N. Y. Tribune relates the following
dialogue betw and illustrious ex-Sen-
ator, who is Bent on leciuring without
pay, and tho chairman Of lecture COM
mite:
Chairman-Col. b., what shnil VIC pay
you for your lecture last evening.
Lecturer Sir don't lecture for pan.
! have very different motive.
Cnairman-Certainly: we fully under
stand that. But We cannot consent that
YOU should come to US at your own cost.
For what sum shall ill mp check for
your expenses?
Lecturer-You may make it two hun
dred dollars. But wish 1T distinctly IN
derstood that don't lecture for mOneu.
lsv' Aristotle mag say that of all ami
mails the males are stronger ami wiser
than the femalts, but St. Paul says that
weak things have been chosen to con-
founu the strong.
Adam was sublimely endowed, but wo-
man .umbled him: Samson was strong,
but woman made him captive; Lot was
chaste, but woman disturbed his piety;
Solomon was wise bat woman deceived
him; Job was patient and was robbed
by the devil Of fortune, and finally ulcer
atei grieve1 and oppressed, but nothing
provoke him till woman did it there
by proving herself stronger than the
devil.

TENNESSEE.

The Legislature of the State Of Tennessee COM
menced its regular session at Nashville on the 9TH
inst j. G. Burch elected President OF the Sem
ate. and Daniel S. Doneson was chosen Speaker Of
the House of Representatives.
II appears from the Message Of Gov. johnson that
te actual Indebtedness of the State is sl2 S66 1885, Of
which over eight and half millions for objects Of
internal Improvement. The Governor recommends
the policy of inhibiting by constitutional provision,
apy future Legislature from the creation of any pub
lie debt beyond limited amount, without first SUBJ
mitne the proposition to the people for their appro-
val or rejection, unless in great emergency such
as nsurrection, rebellion or INVASION. lie also re-
commends the selling of all The stock held by the
State in banks and in internal Improvement compa-
MES or otherwise.
On the subject of banking the Governor has not
modified his views. He still fsvors the policy of put.
ting the Bank of Tennessee and its branches into
gradual course of Liquidation He refers to the fact
that in the history OF banking in Tennessee within
the last four years ten or twelve OF the oanks nave
suspended specie payments. Inc entife crCuiation
of banks Of the State on the LIST OF January ast was
about eight millions of dollars; the amount OF specie
only two millions. This, he thinks, cannot afford a
sound and uniform currency. He is against the con-
tinuancs OF the stock or free bank system ana thnks
the whole banking system OF the united States
founded in error He renews his recommendation
against ba issue of bank notes of less amount than
five dollars He thinks the present method OF tax
ing merchants dscr;mnates sgainst the merchant at
home and in favor of the one abroad.
The defects in the road system are pointed out,
and its unequal and oppressive operation upon the
masses are dwelt upon as requiring change: Law
reform ia recommended so as to conform the sys.
tenn to the public will. The operations of the ag
ricnltnral bureau of the State dwelt upon. and
il is thought that the mechanical and msnufactur-
ing interests of the State deserves some care. The
Legislature should be exhonorated from the charge
of invdious and partial legislation.
There are many good suggestions in this message
concluding with the hope that retrenchment re-
form, and rigid economy may be carried into every
department of the Government.

pondent of the New York Times says:
1t appears that Mr.. Champion repeatedly and in the
most public and marked manner has avoided Mr
Dallas, Notwithstanding the best efforts Of The latter
to evince the kindest and most cordial feeling his
own part. On one occasion recently, whils Mr. Dallas
was walking the street in company with r Brit sh
noblsman, Mr.. Champion was observed approaching
from the opposite direction, but upon Seeing oa mn
