Old Relies OF uumonltv,

The oldest relic of humanity extant is the
skeleton of one OF the earlier Pharaohs, in.
cased in its original burial robes and won.
derlully perfect, considering its age, which
was deposited about eighteen or twenty
months ago in the British Museum, and is
justly considered the most valuable of it's
archaeological treasures. The lid of the
collin which contained the royal mummy
was inscribed with tho name of the occr.
pant, Pharoh Mykerimus, who succeeded
the heir OF the builder of the great pyra-
mid, about ten centuries before Christ.
Only think of it; tho monarch whose cvumb.

George Francis Train.

The entire Amoric n press, with absolute
unanmitv, denounces tho arrest of Trai,r
and his companions by the English police on
Sunday, as an outrage upon the rights Of
American citizenship requiring from our
government an instant and peremptory de-
mand for reparation. This question is in
all cases accompanied By an express re-
striction to the facts as at present perhaps
mperfeCtly known, and is almost uniformly
accompanied by the declaration that the
right of an American citizen travelling
abroad to absolute immunity from moles.
eation for any political offence not com.
mtted upon foreign soil, is right of such
superior dignity and Importance that not
even the personal msigniiicanee of this nsan
Train can belittle or obscure it. Il makes
no difference whether it be true or not, as
charged by members of the British Lega
ton at Washington, that Train went abroad
for the purpose of courtinS an arrest and

cisioa upon the right Of nationality. II
would be only surprising that the English
government could have fallen into such ~
trap, involving Great Britain in the diff

ENDURANCE.

How much the heart may bear, and yet not break
How much the flesh may suffer, aud not die
| question much If any paine or ache
OF soul or body brings our end more high.
Death chooses its own time till that is sworn
All evils may be borne.
We shrink and shudder at the surgeons knife
Each nerve rccoiling from the cruel steel
Whose edge seems searching for the quivering
life;
Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal
That still, although the trembling flesh be torn,
This, also, can be borne.
We see a sorrow rising in our way,
And try to fly from the approaching ill;
We seek seme small escape-we weep and pray
But when the blow falls, then our hearts are
still,
Not that the pain is of its sharpness shorn,
But think il can be borne.
We wind our life about another life
We hold it closer, dcarer than our own;
Anon it faiuts and falls in dearlly strife,
Leaving us stunned. aud stricken, and alone
But all +! we do not die with those we mourn,
That, also, can be borne.
Behold, we live through all things famine, thirst
bereavement, pain all grief and misery;
All woe and sorrow, life inficts its worst
On soul and body but we cannot die
Though we be sick, and tired, and faint, and
worn,
Lo! all things can be borne.

Look to Tour Titles !

T I may not be generally known that the title to
L large portion cf the Real Estate in Wood
County is defcctive-but such is the fact. These
detects arise from misdescrption Of the prop
erty, informal execution and Acknowledgements
Of conveyances, unrecorded deeds, tax sales and
titles Judgment liens, irregularities in sales under
execution, mortgages, &c.
Hundreds of mortgages and other membranes
upon lands remain uncancelled on the records,
although the debts they were given TO secure ba ve
probably been paid. Thousands of tax sales have
been made incum6ering lands and lots, many of
which have been redeemed but not cancelled, but
large number still exist as valid liens on the prom
eriy sold. Over 800 of the deeds on our county
records are either errnneously executed or
wrongly recordcd-mnst OF the errors undoubtedly
occur in the making of the deeds, but many in the
recording of them.
In view Of these facts, we are preparing, and
have nearly completed, at great expense and inn
mense labor, Il camplete abstract of the title TO
every tract of land and town lot in the county,
giving the original entries and purchases from tie
State aud United States, date of the deeds, kind
CT conveyance, consideration, fall description of
the land, where deed executed, date of record
book and page where recorded, number of wit
nesses, number of seals, amount Of revenue stamp,
&c. r"
So complete will these Abstracts be, that If
every book in the Recorders Office were destroyed,
an accurate description of every instrument re-
corded there, could be procured from our office.
shortest notice, to give all necessary information
and written abstracts of title at reasonable prices
to all who may desire the same.
With these Abstracts before us, we also have
facilities for preparing conveyances of every de-
scription, unequaled by any other office in the
county, and which will be made out by us at usual
rates. We will give special attention to remedying
defects in titles removing incumbrances, procuring
lost deeds, getting original patent copies of
same, and perfectng titles generally.
Every owner of Real Estate should know the
full history of his title to same and that it is cor
rectly placed on the record and every prudent
man will refuse to buy any lands or lots without
first being fully satisfied that the title to same is
perfect, clear and unmcumbered and these facts
can be ascertaned from us at a small expense.
Our charges will be as follows:
For an examination of the title to n lot or tract
OF land, with verbal opinion on same, from 81 to
SO, according to value and number of transfers
For full abstract of the title, with written
opinion on same, 50 and over, according to number
OF conveyances of the land, and labor in making
out same. a. B.
reasonable deduction will be made to appli-
cants, for chain Of title to two or more tracts and
also to attorneys and agents who make frequent
business calls upon us.

THE RuMsELLER,s VISION.
BY b. W. GoopHUE,


The midnight hour hath come
With deep and silent gloom,
AS modern tender of the bar
Sat thinking in his room;
Without the storm was raging,
The winds were fierce and loud,
And darkened was the night,
BY many lowering cloud.
A fire burned brightly in the grato
And cleaned upon the wall,
And DER the Villains sallpw face,
Dark visions seemed 10 fall.
Strange thoughts disturbed his rest,
And passing through his mind,
He saw as in a troubled dream,
Spectrcs Of every kind.
All to his disordered vision
There came the scenes of years,
The mother and the orphan
With eyes suffused with tears.
The poor, degraded father
With look of demon wild,
The anguish Of the loving wife
And sorrow of the child.
He saw a widowed mother,
With up'lifted hand to heaven,
Praying that God would rcstne
The child He'd kindly given.
He saw the drunkard's wife
O'erwholmed with anxious fears,
And viewed impressed upon her face
The suffering of years.
Next brothers bleeding form,
All gbastly pale and wan,
Dcsccching him to give
At least one glass again.
One glass of liquid woe
To fan the base desire,
Aud fill his burning brain
With deaths consuming fire.
Shudderiug still, he locked
At his victims wife aud child,
As they cast on him glance
or scorn and hatred wild.
Thus, before his dreamy vision
band Of victims came,
And one by one they helpcd
Dark curses On his name.
Thus in quick succession came,
Each victims spirit form,
While fierce and wilder ragged
Tho dark and wiptcry storm.
Long was the fearful vigil
The rumseller had to keep,
For his spiritual victims
Would not let him sleep.

THE NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

How IL Was Received I'm Nashville.
At noon yesterday the telegraph an
nounced to the people of this city the ac-
quittal Of Andrew johnson. Notwith-
standing the intense interest which has all
along been manifested in the proceedings
Of the Impeachment court, the great result
caused no such excitement here as might
have been looked for. There was no cheer
ing, no shouting, no throwing up Of hats,
no ieers or SCOTS at the chap-fallen Radicals.
No deep-mouthed cannon Numbered the
welcome news; no gay bunting futtered
from the hagstaffs, and no noisy crowds
thronged the streets. The little knots that
gathered around the bulletin boards left
them quietly when the news was read, and
went about their business, wondering, per-
haps, if Brownlow were really dead in the
same hour that told of the YindicatiOn of
Andrew johnson and constitutional liberty;
in the same hour that Tyranny had
bent 10 the wrath Of the people.
The enemies Of the President were as
founded, cursed Fowler, and predicted the
uV"hiaIt Vi the Eepuole, Whiie MS Hlehus
were cheered, hopeful and confident Save
a few congratulations, there were no de.
monstrations whatever on the part of those
who rejoiced, and there was no talk of
calling meetings, making speeches, and
going through the ratification ceremonies
common on great political occasions. In
fact, throughout the day the city was as
quiet and unruflled as if nothing whatever
had transpired outside the usual routine
of everyday occurrences.

What "a Memphis Paper Says Of the
AiIaRthus.

What n Memphis Paper Says Of the
AiIaRthus.
+ The following from the Memphis Ara-
llGnche is as applicable to Nashville, as to
Memphis, and deserves attention:
"The shade tree known as the ailanthus,
tree of paradise or heaven, or any other
name that does not tell what it really is,
has become such an abominable nuisance
in this city that the city fathers should
take prompt measures TO eradicate the hor-
rible thing from our midst. The poison
Gus stencil that is emitted at present from
the blossoms, are certainly more deleteri-
Gus to the health of our people than all the
malaria a huge swamp could produce. We
know of more than one family in which
nearly every member is sick, and there is
no other cause for their prostratiOn but that
they are poisoned by the exhalation of this
modern upas, which is in their
vicinity. The scientific Investigations or
dered by the authorities in certain cities in
the North, few years ago, pronounced the
horrible sickening stencil that this tree
emits, especially when in bloom, to be poi
sonOus and very deleterious TO health.
Hence il occurred that the trees were com.
pletely destroyed, in accordance with an
ordinance on this point, and at present
none of them are ever seen in any North
ern town in which the people have any
sense on the subject. Memphis stinks like
q nest of skunks at present, from the emetic
nsstiness of this horrible tree. We pray
our city fathers TO heed our petition aud
not neglect to legislate on the subject. Ii
is their duty a. oustodians Of the health,
peace of mind and body Of our people,
10 order the wretched, sickening, prostra-
ting, sinking, pesfilential, poisonous
nuisance to be- rooted mp aud de-
stroyed. We write thus strongly because
we are suffering the most sickening nausea
from the effects of the exhalatiOns of this
mancanillier (man-killer) ev0lver of CON
centraied double distilled qnintessence of
stink. Rotten eggs and hydrosulphuret of
ammonia, which IS the triple distilled es-
sence of stink, is sweet OdOr and delicious
perfume when compared to the nastiness
Of this tree that we want eradiCated. These
people, who are suffering sickness from ais
Injurious effects, have their own punish
meut from prOstratlon aud DOCTORS balls,
which we hope may be big enough to make
them siCker bat as We do not want a fu-
neral OF our own, SO We insist that this
cause Of death shall be torn from our midst.
We propose to make the proper authorities
sick Of our complaints until they take ac-
ton ia the matter, 10 that an early appli-
cation of a remedy is advisable for their
comfort"
