Look Ont Brethren!

We caution our brothers OF the press
against a man struggling through the
country, teaching how to calculate inter.
est in a short way. Also, teaches
" short hand" style Of writing. We do
not remember his name, but do remember
being euchrcJ out Of four dollars by him.
He engaged US TO print him 800 copies {
Rule" for finding out interest at any
rate, and for which he was to pay US the
sum named. We printed them. and kept
them on hand for a week orr TWO, although
he was at ffst very anxious TO have them
forthwith. AT last we caught him up aud
told him to come and get them. He come
up and wanted them on a credit, stating
that he had no money but Kentucky bills,
which he had bought, and which he did
not wish to part with, notwithstanding
we offered to pay him the same premium
he had given. In short, we saw at once
he wouldn't do, and that he was deter.
mined to get them for nothing if possible,
and so we preferred to keep his tricks
rather than crcli, man whose very acts
showed his want Of honor. He left, and
roamed about town and the groceries Tor
a few days, then departed for other parts.
He sold his " Rule" at one dollar piece,
which would amount to $500 for all we
printed for him. He sold good many
at that price. Now all we want is our
81, and we propose to sell his things at
80 cents, or rs cents, or even less, until
we sell 81 worth, then we will give the
rest away, and for the sake Of our readers
publish it gratuitously. So cpme up and
ladies and gentlemen, all who
want this splendid Rule by which TO find
out the interest on any amount, for any
given time, and for nothing, after paying
80 for your county paper. Come up, and
let US get our revenge on the fellow who
swindled US, by realizing more than III
he had paid US as a gentleman should
have done. Now, if he had told US, as
many others have, that he was not able
10 pay for them, we would have let them
90, trusting to his honor. And even now.
if he will come back and do the clean
thing, we will retract what is now said in
all candor and truth.

BeJ- The Huntsville Independent says
it will say no more about Sewanee and
milk sick unless we provoke him TO it.
Then the Journal and Independent are
at war no longer. We feel glad tina,
the Independent is not disposed to con.
tinue a crusade against the opinions Of
the accomplished engineers and learned
Bishops, who regarded Sewanee as the
BEST We felt, in the beginning, that
the Independent had an extensive circu.
laton, and the little remarks as to mill
sick would create an unwarranted fear in
the minds Of many, and in the kndest,
yet most sincere spirit, we felt that we
ought TO attempt to correct it. As for
our part, we knOw there is not any milk
sick there, else out of so many who have
worked and lived about there for so long,
one case would have occurred. And we
further believe ,hat the whole world
might resort to Sewanee, and remain there
a thousand centuries, and not q case of
milk sick would ever result.

Miss Emaline Jeans, daughter Of Oba.
diah Jeans Esq, all of the good old Dem.

The foregoing announcement shows
that our worthy friend, John, is no longer
a slumberer on the ticklish sea Of sin.
gle life. He has been aroused to sense
of his imminent danger, by the still small
voice Of Emaline sounding in his ear the
awful denunciation that it is not good for
man always to live alone. He has
headed the silvery tone Of that voice, and
fled with outstreched arms to her, who l..
lone can cheer and comfort him all along
the rough journey Of life. He can now
be permitted to sing some Of the sweet
songs of Zion, even praises to her
who has placed a new song into his
mouth, and who has delivered him from
the power and thraldom Of single life
And as he floats quietly along on the rol.
ling tide Of time, with his fair partner by
his side, he can cxclaim, she is mine, she

The University Of the South.

We have frequently alluded in our
columns to the proposed establish
ment Of great Southern University
on a liberal foundation, but designed
TO be mainly under the auspices of the
Episcopal church. We learn that the
meeting of the trustees of this in.
stitulion, convened to fix on Il site
has completed its work and adjourned.
The place chosen is Winchester, in
Tennessee, on the plateau Of the Cum
Lerand Mountain. This SeIectioo,
however. is with he condition that an
acceptable charter shall be granted
by Tennessee, and a satisfactory ar
rangcment, as to certain details, made
with the proprietors of the lands on
and near the site Indicated.
The site chosen is near the point at
which the Nashville and Charleston
Railroad pierces the Cumberland
Mountain by a tunnel, and is within a
short distance of the Alabama line
AT that point the plateau rises about
500 feet above the plain below. and is
about fifteen miles wide. From its
brow a magnificent prospect stretch
es far away in the distance.
The locality is within five miles Of
the Nashville 81 Charleston Railroads,
within five hours Of Nashville and two
and Il half from Chattanooga; about
thirty-six from Charleston, and will. in
a short time, be about the same from
Pensacola, Mobile and New Orleans.
But ono testimony is borne to the SUI
perior health ofthe plateau: it is above
the intermittent level.
With these advantages of position,
in the midst of a territory of several
thousand acres at its command, under
the conduct of a board of manage
ment of enlarged and comprehensive
views and patriotic purposes, we can
not doubt it will speedily surround it.
self from all parts of the country with
a population of high intelligence and
moral worth, to which it may look for
support and sympathy in the work of
its administration, and to which, in
turn, it will dispense the refreshing and
refineing influences Of its intellectual
and moral atmosphere.
The name adopted by the Board of
Tru tees, and under which it's corpor-
ate existence is to be known, is "Uni-
versity of the South" "The Southern
University" having been already APP
propriated by another institution.
The Right Rev. Bishop Polk and
the Right Rev. Bishop Elliott were
requested to act as general Comniss-
oners on the part of the Board of
Trustees, to obtain the means of en-
iowment for the University, and were
empowered to make use of such as.
as they may think necessa.
