good as gold "Well, take good care Of it
until you go to town." said the wife, and
then folded it up very carefully and reach
ed across the table to hand it to her hus-
band, but by some mishap dropped it into
the soup basin. Quicker than thought
the old mans right hand was up to the
knuckles in the hot soup. He instantly
grasped the note and withdrew his hand
smarting with pain, and threw it out in
the direction of the dog. The folded note
slipped out in the twinkling of an eye it
was in Roses capacious stomach The old
man sprapg up and seized Rose by the
throat, but it was too late. "Ten steers at
one swallow, Joe johnson nor Joe Damna-
tion, will never make me take any more
paper money, roared the enraged Esquire.
Poor Rose, unconscious of the value of
the morsel that he had just swallowed, and
being unable to account for the sudden
rage of his usually kind master, made a
precipitate retreat from the house as soon
as he escaped from his masters grasp. AS
soon as the Esquire's anger and pain sub
sided little, he took down his old flint
lock rifle, and went out into the yard, and
called up his faithful old dog, "well old
fellow, your time has come, it is. too un
certain to wait, said the old man address
sing Rose. He then wiped his moistened
eycs and drew bead on Rose and pulled
trigger. A post mortem examination was
soon made, and the note found. Between
midnight and day on the next morning, !
Mr., johnson was awakened by a tremen-
dous knocking at his door. He got up
and found Esquire Fitzpatrick with the
unfortunate hundred dollar BILL He re-
lated his misfortune and demanded its i'm
mediate redemption with silver dollars
Mr.. johnson insited upon his remaining
until morning, but he swore that he never
would eat, sleep or drink until he got home
with the specie for that internal NOTE
The fate of poor Rose spread like wild
fire, and in forty eight hours there was not
a note on the Bank of Nashville in Smith
county. That sealed the fate of the Bank
This is true story. The people of Ten
nessee have got gloriously over their fool
ish prejudices against Banks.

RELATIONS BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT
AND SENATOR DoUGLAs.-A correspondent
of the New York Times says;
aThe rupture between the President and
Judge Douglas has been rendered more
durable by recent occurrences. A num-
ber of very extreme Southern men, not
yet prepared to break with the Northern
Democracy, waited upon the President
last week, and represented to him that
they could not afford to drive Mr. Douglas
into an alliance with the Republicans, or
to permit him to be crushed by Them
1t was, therefore, necessary to the cause of
the South that Mr.. Douglas should be re-
turned to the Senate, and that event might
depend upon the patronage Of the Admin
istration Mr.. Buchananinstantly betray-
ed strong vindictiye feeling. He declared
that he would not stay his hand; that it
was no longer desirable to keep terms with
Douglas; that he had failed the Democ-
racy on critical occasion, and was no
more to be trusted by it than John P.
Hale, and that he should proceed to turn
out of Office all his followers whom he
could reach. He, therefore, resumed the
work which he had suspended in March,
and Immediately removed three of the
most effective and able friends of Mr..
Douglas as a Senatorial and Presidential
candidate in the Northwest"

ADVICE TO CONSUMPTIVE PER
SONS. g

Eat all you can digest, and exercise a
great deal in the open air, to convert what
you eat, into pure, healthy blood. Do not
be afraid of sudden changes of weather;
let no change, hot or cold, keep you in
doors If it is rainy weather, the more
need of your going out, because you eat as
much upon rainy day as upon clear
day. and if you exercise less, that much
more remains in the system of what ought
to be thrown off by exercise, and some i'll
result, some consequent symptom, or ill
feeling, is the certain issue. If it is cold
out of doors do not muffle your eyes, nose
and mouth in furs, veil, woollen cnmfors-
ers and the like; nature has supplied you
with the best muffler, with the best inha-
ling regulator; that is two lips; shut them
before you step out of warm room into
the cold air, and keep them shut until you
have walked few rods briskly, and quick
ened the circulation little; walk fast
enough to keep off feeling of chilliness,
and taking cold will be impossible. What
are the facts of the case? Look at a rail
way conductor going out Of the hot air
into the piercing cold Of winter, and in
again, every five or ten minutes, and yet
they do not take cold oftener than others;
you will scarcely find consumptive per-
son in a thousand of them.
1t is wonderful how afraid consumptive
people are of cold air, the very thing
that would cure them; the only obstacle
to a cure being that they do not get enough
of it, especially if it is cold when it is
known that the colder the purer it must
be; yet if people cannot go to hotter eli
mate, they will make an artificial one, and
imprison themselves whole winter in a
room, with a temperature not varying ten
degrees in six months; all such people die;
and yet we follow in their footsteps. If ]
were seriously i'll of consumption, would
live out doors day and night, except it
were raining or midwinter, then | would
sleep in an upholstered log house My
consumptiye friends, you want air, not
physic; you want pure air, not medicated
air; you want nutrition, such as plenty OF
meat and bread can give, and they alone;
Iphysic has no nutrimonti gaspings for air
cannot cure you, and stimulants cannot
cure you. If you want to get well go in
for beef and out door air, and do not be
deluded into the grave by advertisements
and unreliable certificates. DR. Hail.

A Lone PAUsE.-On the first Of june,
in the year 1910, gentleman, taciturn
in his habits, rode on Battersea Bridge,
London. His groom rode after him at 0
respectful calling distance. Suddenly an
idea occurred to gentleman; he pulled up
his horse, and turning his head nearly
round, said interrogatiyely'
"Johnw
ayes, sirl"
oDo you Ike eggs 2"
Yes, sir"
The gentleman then turned again and
rsde on.
Z On the 1st Of June, 1871, John and his
master happened again TO ride over Bat
tersea Bridge, At the third lamp post
the gentleman pulled up short, and John
. illed up sim neous'y. The g ntleman
turned his head and said, still in tone Of
Interrogation
"How2"

To cure corns, soak the foot in warm
water for quarter Of an hour every night;
after each soaking rub the corn patiently
with the finger, using half dozen drops
of sweet oil; wear around the toe during
the day two thicknesses of buckskin, with
a hole in II to receive the corn Continue
this treatment until the corn falls out;
and by wearing moderately loose shoes it
will be months and even years before the
corn returns, when the same treatment wi |
be efficient in few days, PAIRING corns
is always dangerous, besides making them
take deeper root.

HoT BREAD.-The following is from
DR.. John G. Bunting, who has been ex-
perimenting with Alexis St. Martin, the
man with hole in his stomach, made by
a bullet, through which can be seen all the
processes or stages through which the diff
ferent articles of food must pass in the act
of digestion:
"Hot bread never digests. Bear this in
mind, reader, if you are accustomed to eat
the light and tempting biscuit at tea, or
the warm loaf which looks so appetizing
upon your dinner table. Hot bread never
digests; after long season of tumbling
and working about in the stomach, it will
begin to ferment, and will eventually be
passed out of the stomach as an unwel-
come tenant Of that delicate organ, but
never digests, never becomes assimilatcd
to, or absorbed by, the organs that ap-
propriate nutrition to the body. 1t is a
first rate dyspepsia producer. The above
is the truth, as it has been repeatedly
proved from actual observation through
the side of Alexis St. Martin"

A New PLAN OF Drying PEACHES
WITHOUT PEALING.-M Messrs Editors: As
the furze which covers the peach is very
objectionable in drying them with it on,
and as peeling them for drying is tedious
process, and causes the loss of much of the
sweetest and best of the fruit, plan which
will obviate both of these objections and
give us the dried fruit as good as if pealed,
and in fact even better, is desideratum,
the supplying Of which would be very ac-
eeptable to all who are in the habit of dry
ing this excellent and desirable fruit for
table use. A lady friend of the writer has
found it out and communicated it to him,
and he will here describe it. Make toll
erably strong lye with wood ashes by boil
ing them in water--letting it stand after
being boiled sufficiently until the ashes
settle to the bottom, when pour off the lye.
Then put the peaches to be dried in this,
lcarm, but not hot enough to cook them
any and rub them in it a while Then
take them out and wash them in clear,
cold water. This process will take all the
furse entirely off, and leaves them as slick
and smooth as nectarines, with nothing
but thin skin on them. Then cut off
and dry as usual. Peaches dried in this
way will be found to be very sweet and
have all the advantages Of not losing any
by the usual process of peeling--as the
sweetest part of fruit is generally that
next the pealing. We have eaten pastry
made with such peaches, and can speak
from experience. j. r. III.
