THE LAST MAN IN TIE BARRIERS SHOP. =
We have seen many illustrations Of misery,
many that move the hardest heart to pity but
nothing can be more touching to an observer,
nothing better defines misery than man IN a
barber shop, with dozen or so ahead OF hun,
waiting to be shaved. 1t is impossible for any
one who never has experienced it, to know how
much nerve is required to pass successfully
through this ordeal Different natures,$ Of
course, experience different degrees Of misery
as they wait. ,"rhe poor but virtuous young
man, struggling with 4 moustache" 1.-THE fading
hue of which has brought him again to the
tonsorial artist, having an engagement with
Susan-who has told him, anything but

down as the subject OF most abect wretched-
ness and despair, as he enters and looks around

him.
There is music to him in the BARRIERS next,
as it lessons the distance between him and his
ambitious goal; and when it finally appeals to
him, he experiences a joy that the honled
words of fattery fail to bring to him VINO has

BRowNLow is abusing Colonel John Baxter,
Tennessee Conservative, as traitor, because
he was a candidate in 1861 for the Contcd-
crate Congress- Upon which the Knoxville
Commercial asserts positively that CoL
Baxter was candidate at the earnest sollclta-
lion, and by the advice of William G.. Brown
low, who, at that time pledged himself TO sup
port the Southern Confederacy at as early an
opportunity as he could do 50 without d'sgrac
ing himself in the eyes 0. both parties, ana
further charges that William u. BrownloW'
in two issues Of September, 1861, dld take
grounds to support the Southern Contederaey,
and had it not been for the coldness shown
Brownow by the rebels, and the earnest
pleadines of Judge Trigg and Colonel John
Williams to prevent his joining the rebc!

that the Governor of Tennessee is neither

The WONDERS OF TELEGRAPHING.-lt de-
serves to be chronicled among the most extra
ordinary achievements Of the Atlantic Tee-
graph. that when every citizen OF London
awoke on Thursday morning, eager to read an
account of the great Derby races, the people ct
one-fourth of the United States were also read
ing an account of the previous day 8 race-as
long, graphic and interesting, as usually APP
pears in a London paper. The Derby races
closed at late hour on Wednesday evening,
and on Thursday morning we had IN this coun-
try long description of tie events OF the pre-
vious day, a list Of the horses which ran, their
panments Of grand field day among the "a
GERS. And on the very day of the race, long
ere the vast throug had returned from the race
course, and while the races we're going on, the
sporting men in New York were in possession
of p1ivate telegrams as to the fate Of the day
