4 GovrRNoR WITHOUT A STATE
One Of the most curious documents that
1 We have seen lately is \ Proclamation
Ihv I,ham G. Harris, Governor of Tcnnes-
stc.p printed in the Atlanta (Ga.) 4Ap-
peH, appointing an election in the eleventh
/ IGongressional District Of Tennessee, to
lin vacancy caused by the death of Hon
David NJ. Curriu. Polls are to be opened
not only in the district, but wherever there
are Tennessee soldiers Inasmuch as
Harris has been m exile from Tennessee
for a long time, and would not dare to sci
his foot on its soil except clandestinel y,
this proclamation may be styled " the
height Of the ridiculous.
NECESSARY ACCoMpLIsuMENT.-
ny June urges the necessity OF cooking to
the comfort of "A family. She sees no beau
tr in delicate hands that cannot knead the
tough nor turn the steak. Ii anything IN the
torld will make n man miserable, 1t Is the
want of a good relshable dinner, and here
he hits truth. She warns the ladies,
the wives, that if they desire loves of bon
nets. and lots OF small change in the shape
of tiyes and tens, they must cook the best
dishes and regale their husbands with
them. This may be very homely advice,
but it has more to do with the comfort OF
a family than all the fine arts of music and
dancing and crocheting and fiddlcstlck
generally i'll the world.
