A MORMON PLACE OF RErUGE.-Iti is stated
that the Mormons, among their other prepara.
tons, have not forgotten to look out Canaan
of refuge, in case the United States should
disagree too severely with their patriarchal
institutions. The "Saints" have, it appears,
an excellent open road from their southwest
ern valleys to settlement Of their own on
the confines of Lower California. This colo.
ny consists Of between one and two thousand
picked settlers-brave, prudent, industrious,
and well instructed not 10 give offence to
their christian neighbors. The colony keeps
up steady communication with Salt Lake,
six hundred miles distant; and it is scarcely
to be doubted that they planted other stations
in the pleasant and fertile valleys scattered
along this route. The inference is obvious,
from the systematic arrangement, which opens
the way to Sonora and Lower California, that
the Mormons have contemplated the possi-
biity Of a retreat beyond The United States
jurisdiction. They affiliate with the Indians
are strong enough to hold both Sonora and
Lower California against Mexico, and moth
ing but large volunteer force and the estab.
lishment of Gordon of military settlements
can reduce the Mormons to submission.

EAST TENNESSEE FARMING.-When the
State Agricultural Bureau offered three $lOO
Pitchers for the best ten acres of Corn, Cot
ton md Wheat respectively, we stated that
East Tennessee could take t,co of the three,
flour farmers could be induced to compete
for them. So it has turned out East Ten
nessee has proved herself entitled to the
premiums for both Wheat and Corn. The
Pitcher for the Wheat was awarded in Octo.
Der to r. H. g. NJ. NJ. Armstrong, and as we
briefly announced last week, the premium
for the best ten acres Of Corn, has been
awarded to Col. Jas. H. Armstrong-all of
Knox county. Col. Armstrong on his tep
acres raised 1902 bushels and 4S lbs. of
Corn-making On average of lO9 bushels
and l6 lbs. per mere. Such figures apeak
well for East Tennessee, and We take pleas.
ure in recording such evidences of the enter
prise of our farmers and the superiority OF
our soil-Knorpilie Register.

THE CRISIS hEp The PamTERs.-We are
warranted in stating that in New York city
alone, 5000 people, who are dependent upon
printing for support and sustenance, will
this season be unoccupied. Boston and the
Combrdges have, we are told, at least 1000
idle printers, the large Offices having but lit
lie to do. Philadelphia, Baltimore and WASH
ington add at least 600 idle printers to the
list; while Chicago and st. Louis, have res
pectively, a large number in want of work,
owing to the decrease in newspaper business
and a lack OF job work. We will set down
st. Louis and Chicago as having 200 printers
in want of employment. Cincinnati, Pitts
burg and Louisville, will furnish at least 300
more. From this, then, il is safe to con-
cude that in these cities at least 5000 prin.
ters will be without employmedt during the
present winter.

UNITED STATES TREASURY NoTEs.-The
Baltimore Sun says the state of the United
States Treasury at the close Of the month
induces the belief among some persons that
one of the earliest acts of the new Congress
to assemble this day, will be to authorize an
issue of treasury notes, bearing a nominal in
terest of say one mill per annum, to supply
the deficiencies in the revenue. The Depart.
ment, il is said, requires q balance of about
SIX millions of dollars to be on hand, subject
to draft, at it's repositories and mints, to con-
duct the business of the country, and to
grant the usual facilities for minting gold

W- The Washington Union, the organ of
the Administration, in recent article, holds
the following sensible language:
Tho Constitution declares that "the citi-
zens Of each State shall be entitled to all the
privileges and immunities of citizens in the
several States" Every citizen of one State
coming into another State has, therefore. a
right to the protection of his person, and that
property which is recognized as such by the
Constitution Of the United States-any law
of the State to the contrary Notwithstanding.
SO far from any State having right to de-
prive him of his property, it is its bounden
duty 10 protect him in its possession.

1t is no mark of disgrace. 1t speaks well
for your industrious mother. For our part,
We would rather see dozen patches on
your jacket than bear one profane or vulgar
word escape your lips, or smell the fumes of
whiskey, or tobacco in your breath. No
good boy will shun you because you cannot
dress MS well as your companions; and ii II
boy sometimes laughs at your appearance,
say nothing my good lad, but walk on. We
know many rich and good man, who was
once as poor as you. Fear God my boy, and
It you are poor, but honest, you will be res
pected-a great deal more than you were
the son of rich man, and were addicted to
bad habits.

New York Herald TX. ny says meeting OF
the American General Committee was held
in that city on Friday night at which reso-
luton was passed instructing the Councils
to elect delegates to anew General Commit
tee which would meet on the 9Th of January
Eeyt. A strong feeling was manifested in
the committee to disband the Know Nothing
organization, as it was stated that the party
was now reduced to mere faction, and
could only be of use to some huckstering
politician whose business it was to trade iu
nominations and levy black mail on candi-
dates, under pretence of supporting them.

cB With our minds bent upon money from
January to January, amid the catastrophies
of business. and the snarling life of the town,
it is scarcely to be expected that SO small an
affair as the falling of a leaf will plunge us
into very deep thought on the uncertainty
and evanescence Of life. And yet we must
utterly cease to think of golden gain sooner
or later. The days and months and years
are hurrying along. Like the leaves which
lived so bright life in the summer sunshine,
we will perish-droop-decay. But who has
