"A VERYTR ANsPARENT SwINDLR.
---It is not very singular that rogues
and confidence men are so successful
when we see so many evidences Of
credulity and foolish confidence on
the part of the public. This morn
ing an old man who halls from Boone

pot for ticket to Chillicothe, offer
ing In payment bill resembling q
$40 greenbaek which was simply an
advertisement of some bootand shoe
firm In ST. Louis. The agent sum
moned officer Crippen, to whom the
old man explained that he got the
bill short time before at the o. aud
M. depot
A gentlemanly. looking man APP
proaehed him with the bill In his
hand, and asked him If he had two
SIS for $40. He had, and gave them
to the man, supposing that he was
receiving ten dollar greenback in
return. The words Of the ticket. sell

first intimation that there was any,
thing wrong In the transaction. The
railroad company, we understand,
sent him on to Chillieothe free; There
is little likelihood of the rascal being
caught.

AS the trials of life thicken, and
the dreams of other days fade, one
by one, in the deep vista Of dlsap-
pointed hope, the heart grows weary
Of the struggle, and we begin to re-
alize our insignificance. Those who
have climbed to the pinnacle Of fame,
or revel in luxury and wealth, go to
the grave at last with the poor men-
dicant who begs pennies by the way
side, and, like him, are soon forgot
ten. Generation after generation,
says an eloquent modern writer,
have felt as we feel, and theirfellows
We're as active in life as ours are now.
They passed away as vapor, while
nature wore the same aspect Of beau
ty as when her Creator commanded
her to be. And so likewise shall it
be when we are gone. The heavens
VIII be as bright over our grave as
they are now around our path the
world will have the same attraction
for offspring yet unborn that she had
once for ourselves. aud that she has
now for our children. Yet a little
while and all this will have hap
pened Days will continue to move
on, and laughter and song will be
heard in the very chamber In which
we died, and the eye that mOurned
for us will be dried, and win glisten
with joy and even our children will
cease to think of us, and will not NFe-
member to lisp our name.

f KEEP WARM AND SAVE YOUR LIFE.
Within thirty days from to-day
there will be many deaths which
might be prevented by warm cloth
ing. Many fatal case.of dysentery
is caused by the want Of a wooden
undershlrt, or Of an extra blanket at
night. The sudden changes Of tenn
perature which occur at this season
of the year are very trying TO the
constitution. People with weak
lungs quickly feel the effect of them.
Frequently the thermometer falls
many degrees within a few hours.
Not only the feeble, but robust and
strong persons suffer from such great
variations of temperature. When the
weather grows cold rapidly, the pores
of the skin are suddenly closed, and
the result frequently is q bad cold,
which may hold on all winter and
terminate in consumption, or fatal
attack Of dysentery, or that dread
full disease, the typhoid fever.
II the day seems ever so warm and
bright, it is much safer TO wear plen-
ty of under clothing at this season.
In the evenings the deWs fall, and It
grows chilly very suddenly. At all
times, even when it feels The warm
est, one experiences the difference
which is so marked, between the au-
tumn atmosphere and that tofthesunl-
mer, There is something more than
the mere difference in temperature
it may be in the electricity. An Oeca-
sional fire in room dries the walls
and purlfies the atmosphere. A little
timely attention TO all these things
would prevent a great deal of the
disease and suffering TO whiehhuman-
ity is liable.

1t thus seems that the win of the
people was not consulted when
Grant was awarded majority of the
electoral votes. If Grant has that
wonderful respect for the popular
viii claimed for him, he will never
act as President. Grant is not over
jealous in his devotion to negro
rights, and when he remembers that
10000 blacks participated in the
election and whites were disfran-
chised by the myriad, he may arrive
at the conclusion that the Democrat
ic party is still oInnipotent with the
people, and fortunate in incurring no
responsibility for the untoward
events of the next four years.-[St.

The following rules will teach
young ladies how to avoid the catch
Ing ofa bad husband
1. Never marry for wealth. a wo-

things that she possesseth.
2. Never marry fop, nor one who
struts about dandy-like i'm kid gloves,
cane and rings on his fingers. Be-
ware there is a trapl
8. Never marry niggard, or close
listed, mean, sordid man, who saves
every penny, or spends it grudging-
ly, Take care, lest he stint you to
death.
A. Never marry a stranger, or one
whose character is not known OF
tested. Some women jump right i'm
to the fire with their eyes wide open
5. Never marry a NOPE or drone,
or one who drawls and draggles
through life one foot after another,
and let's things take their chances
8. Never marry man who treats
his mother or sister unkindly or in
differently. Such treatment is sure

4. Never on any account, marry a
gambler, profane person, one who
in the least speaks lightly of God or
OF religion. Such a man can never
make a good husband.
g. Never marry a man who Is neg
ligent of his person or dress, and Is
filthy in his habits. The external
appearance Is an index to the heart.
8. Shun the rake as a snake, a vi

10. Finally, never marry a man
who is addicted to the use of ardent
spirits. Depend upon it, you are
better off alone than you would be

ve~eiWate Matters In General
The State Board of Finance held re-
eret session at the capitol yesterday. The
Board we understand, were principally en-
gagged with matters concerning the various
railroads ia which the State is interested.
The city OF Hickman, through counsel,
asked the re-opening Of the Nashville and
Northwestern railroad from Union City to
that point, and an order was Issued direct.
iug Receiver lines to show cause Why trains
had been Suspended between that point and
Hickman.
A committee was appointed TO meet the
committee Of the Nashville and Chafta-
noOga Railroad, 10 consult With that COM
mittee upon the proposed renting Of the
Nashville and Northwestern railroad to
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad Com
Pany.
The Board also took steps toward inves-
tigating the condition Of all State railroads,
and calling for a statement Of the amount
Of salary paid to every officer and employe
of every road. u FT
A settlement was effected with Capt s.
b. Brown, late Receiver Of the Memphis,
ClaTksVille and Louisville railroad. 1t IL
now said that Capt. Browns dismissal from
that road was the result Of his refusal or
unwiliipgness TO appoint Speaker +. S.
Richards General Superintendent.
There is every indication that the Nash
Vile and Northwestern railroad will be
rented to the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad Company, as twill be impossible
TO carry it on without the appropriation
made ia the omnibus bill. The State can
hardly afford TO daily longer with Inues
and his hungry directory, and the sooner
they are sent adrift the better.
The committee from Hickman is still
here, and are waiting TO see who will be
most likely to put the road through TO
Hickman. Their consultations with Gen.
lines have thus far resulted in nothing
satisfactory TO either.

CANA LAWYER SWEAR TO HIS ACCOUNT?
A case was decided by Judge Cary in the
Circuit Court yesterday, involving the
question az to whether lawyer can swear
10 an account made with a client for ser
vices as an attorney. Ewing and Pritchett,
attorneys, brought suit against Chas. Cook
for professional services rendered, offering
TO produce their account under the book
debt law, by their own oath. The Court
decided that such cases were not within
the provisions Of the statute, and a verdict
was rendered in favor Of the defendant.
A motion for a new trial is now under con-
sideraton, and will be finally disposed Of
to-day. Messrs. Murray, Spurloek and
Reid appear for plaintiffs, and Gen. Thos.
+. Smiley for defendant.
