The Gaming Spirit.

"Gift book stores" rest upon az
unsound basis. They appeal to the
Cunning spirt-to the get-something
ior-notbing idea and, if they are
not legally ,prong they are dscsp tirt
and therefore morally dishonest
The buyer of book is told that in
addition 20 volume purchased be
will get n "paluable gift for bis
money. He therefore buys the book
and receives, say a breast-pin of the
supposed value Of 81, whereas, it is
not worth twenty-five cents. So il
is with all the gifts. They are de-
csptive. The buyer is deceived
aud the seller deceives him. The
business must, therefore, in the na
ture of things, be immoral. Beside:
it is filing the land With bogus jew
elry, an fostering spirit of display
among those who cannot indulge il
it legitimstely. The business is thu:
doubly demorslizing; and, therefore

Emerson Elheridge.

The Cincinnati Enquirer bss the
following notice Of this gentleman:
EMERSON ETBERIDGE.-The election
Of this gentleman to Congress from
the Ninth District of Tennessee,
shows that an alliance with the
Republicans of the North is by DO
means political sin in some parts
Of the South. Mr. Etheridge Was in
the Congress Of 1855 and 1856, and
voted constantly with Giddings and
other ultra Republicans on all politi-
cal questions. In a number of in
stance he separated from his Amsri-
can friends TO vote With the Repub-
icaus. A constituency that will elect
81 man with such a record as Ethe.
ridge, bas not far to go before it
will support an out-and out RepubIi-
can. Etberidge's sympathy with the
Republicans was notorious ut Wash
ington, notorious in all parts of the
country.

am glad to say that | was disappoin-
ted. Public sentiment, in regard
to. the agitation of the slave ques-
ton, has undergone quite a change
of late for the better, and is improving
daily. This is owing to the fact that
our people have not gone North
as much Of late years as in former
iimes-haVe spent their money more
among themselves, and patronized
home merchants and home watering
places in preference to going North;

Further Trouble Anticipated.

The news from Europe by late

very dissatisfied state Of afflirs iu
Italy, and il now seems extremely
doubtful whether the peaeo lately
concluded can be long preserved.
1t will probably be found that i, is a
