Every nerve feels the poison, and all the vital
organs quickly complain. the stomach will
not digest the food perfectly. The liver ceases

feeble. The lungs become clogged with the

Capt. T. w. Lion, an experienced mil

Governor Morgan to raise mounted
Battalion, to be called "General Bar

proposes to introduce with his battalion
a weapon comparatively new in mod

otherwise than fearfully destructive.
This weapon is an improved style of
Rocket. 1t flies, without any tail, with
a spiral motion, aud is to be used with

French s0unaa has named it the Gas

upon ignition it assumes rotary mo-

ating at both ends, out of spiral cavities
and spreading on either side from ten
to fifteen feet, has the appearance of an
immense solid ball of fire. 1t can De ex-

The Noble Wives Of Knoxville.

After Parson Brownlow's paper was
suppressed by the rebels, he still per-
sisted in defending the flag of the I'm
ion, until at length it became apparent
to his friends that he could no longer
be of any service to keed it fying.-
They also saw that he was hourly jeo-
pardizing the lives of all his family, and
finally prevailed on him to take it down.
His wife seeing what he was about to
do, forbade him.--"No," said Mrs.
Brownlow, "your hand shall never strike
the American Flag. If it must come
down, I will take it down myself
That act shall never be written of Par
son Brownlow" and she then reluctant
ly drew it down.
When Parson Brownlow's Stars and
Stripes no longer tossed their folds to
the breeze another American flag still
waved at Knoxville. 1t was that of
Mr.. Williams. He was bold, brave,
true man and had quietly, but firmly
watched and de tended the flag on its
standard at his house-top.
His premises were closely watched
by the rebels. They saw him depart
one day two or three miles distant,
and Immediately prepared for their
work. Some horse-men were detailed
to take the flag down. Mrs. Williams
saw them coming, aud stopped to the
door with loaded rifle i'll her hands.
When they were within hearing, Haiti
she exclaimed with the firm voice of a
sentry.-"Halt ~ and pointed in their
midst. They all halted moment and
conversed together.-None dared to
advance. One by one they rode away.
Up to a late date that flag remained un-
furled.
Already Mrs. Brownlow and Mrs.
Williams are historic characters. Their
names will 60 down to posterity side
by side with the heroines of the Revo
luton.

"I'm Here"

A Scotch farmer, who was riding
horseback on a moonshiny night, with
his man Watt, stopped at a tavern to
bait his horse, and as be had been drink,
ing a good deal of hot stuff, it took but
few more glasses to make him drunk.
In this condition he mounted and start
ed for home. The moon was shining
SO bright that he forgot the time of day,
and SAID to his man:
"Watty, we're name the wooss for
that last glass O. Whiskey this frosty
morning."
sFaith," said Watty, blowing his fin
gers and looking as blue as bilberry
"your honor may be name the worse for
it, but I'm name the better. l wish |
was"
On they rode, the farmer gripping
hard at the horses name, and rolling
about like sack of meal for the cold
air was beginning to make the spirits
tell on him. At last they came to a
bit of brook that crossed the road, and
the farmers horse being pretty we'll u.s.
ed to having his own way, s1opPeu
short, and put down his head to drink.
This had the effect to make the rider
lose his balance, and away he went ov-
er his head into the middle of the
brook. The farmer had just sense
enough to hear the splash, and know
that something was wrong, but he was
so drunk that he did not suspect that
it was himself
"Watty, my mon, somebody's fallen
in the stream, hasn't there ?"
"Faith, you may say that" replied
Watty, like to roll off with laughing,
''for its just yourself, MASTER"

mer, with hiccup at every word, ut

misunderstanding, they must act and
look like marble or clay-cold, express
ionless, bloodless; for every appear

ness, antipathy, admiration, disgust

an attempt to hook husband. New

their own conscience to comfort
them after all. Do not, therefore, be
too much afraid Of showing yourself ~
you are, affectionate and good-hearted;
do not too harshly repress sentiments

because you fear that some puppy may
fancy that you are letting them come
out to fascinate him do not condemn

DRIVING QUALITIES OF WOMEN
''Doesticks," recently, in the Mercury,
gave vent to the following atrocious
Sentiments, with which we have no
sympathy whatever. Still there is a
little truth in what ''Doesticks" says:
''The minute you give a woman
charge of anything that will do any
work, that very minute that woman
begins to drive thai working thing to
it's utmost capacity, be it an animal or
a machine; and the chances are about
equal that she'll drive the animal to the
verge of quadruped grave, or break
the machine into shivered splinters in
the attempt to make it do three days
work in twelve hours.
Every person who has ever observed
human female driving horse, will
perfectly sympathize with the idea |
here set forth. Every woman who
drives a horse, not only drives that
horse to the top ofhis speed, fogging
him up hill and whipping him down
hill, and thrashing him the full length
Of every level, but she gives him a
sound trouncing every time be stops
to drink, under the wretched pretence
that she is trying to keep the flies off:
Let woman, any woman--tor they
are all alike on this subject, and no one
has any more sense than any other one
understand that Flora Temple had
trotted her mile in 2: 198, and let that
woman have Flora to drive a day, and
she'd fog the life out of the gallant
bay mare, if she don't keep up the same
speed for twelve or fourteen hours a
day, and would, the minute her speed
fell short of twenty-five miles in an
hour, whip the blessed beauty till she
dropped down in her tracks.
eff a woman owned Flora Temple,
she wouldn't hesitate to match her to
run race with an express train through
swampy country, and would cut, with
horsewhip, the hide all off the little
mare, if she didn't distance the loco
motive.
There never was woman yet who
aoould or could drive horse reasona-
bly,, and treat him properly"

A Chronical Sketch Of Great Britain
HENRY VIII-l5O9-l547.

Son of Henry VII, born in 149l.-
The chief characteristic of this prince
was love ofpower. This passion was
at first compatible with generosity and
feeling, at length produced an excess
of pride, impatience and intolerance,
which extinguished the sentiments of
humanity, and rendered him violent
and sanguinary in the extreme. Hen
ry's reign is distinguished for the in
PRODUCTION of the Protestant religion,
and for the suppression Of the Catho-
lie religious houses. These transac-
tions were rather permitted by Henry,
than approved by him. Before his
quarrel with the pope, about divorce
from his wife, he wrote a book against
the tenents of Luther, the father of the
reformation, for which Leo X, in 1920,
gave him the title Of ''Defender of the
Faith" which his successors, though
Protestants, have ever retained. Hen
ry possessed talents and a handsome
person. He married Catharine of Ar
ragon, widow of his brother Arthur, in
1909, by whom he had one daughter
Displeased with his amiable wife, and
in love with her lady Of honor, Henry
applied to the pope for a divorce,
which being refused he threw off allie
glance to the Roman See, declared
himself head of the churcn, and mar
ried Anne Boleyn, daughter of Sir
Thomas Boleyn, in 1882. Excited by
jealousy towards Anne, and love for
another lady, Henry caused Anne to
be beheaded in 1886. Anne left one
child.-the celebrated Elizabeth. The
day after the execution of Anne, Henry
married his third wife, Jane Seymour,
daughter of Sir John Seymour. Jane
died in giving birth to Prince Edward
in 1887. In 1910 Henry married his
fourth wife, Anne Of Cleves, sister of
the Duke of Cleves. This lady he
called Flanders mare, and after living
with her about six months, he sent her
back to her own country. Catharlne
Howard-niece of the Duke of Norfolk
was Henry's fifth wife. She proved
incontinent, and was beheaded in 1912.
Henry was married to bis sixth and
last wife-Catharia Parr, widow of
Lord Latimer--in 1913. This lady
possessed great merit, and was a firm
friend Of the reformation. Anne Boil
evn and Catharine Howard were wo-
men of extraordinary beauty.
