SENTER-STOKES.

The candidates for Governor of this
brave old Commonwealth addressed
the people of Shelby county yester-
day. Their speeches were a rehash
of what they have said on the hust-
ings throughout the State. Each
proved the other to be a bad and dis
loyal man. Take STOKES word for it
and you must believe that SENTER is
not competent to make a good waiter
at a hotel. Let SENTER be your au-
thOrity and STOKES is unfit mentally
and morally for a deck-hand on a
steamboat. They are both Radicals
and are both now incliniDg TO con-
seryatism. Senter comes out boldly
on the question of reimbursement
and avoids all reference 10 the past
ubiquitous legislation of radicalism.
STOKF ss hirks on reimbursement, and
makes loud promises Of honesty and
economy in the future legislation at
Nashville. Altogether they are a
unique pair of Gubernatorial can
didates. Between them there IS a
choice for the good men of the cOun-
try. One is better than the other.
We think SENTER a little the best.

BeaayaIs and lean Ia Hachetts

/ Considerable attention has Recently
been directed to the illusions con-
famed in the REMARKS of Napoleon
| III, addressed to the Mayor of Beaua
yais, a town fOrty-One miles northwest
OfParis, and particularly famous for
| its successful resistance to the attacks
! ofthe English army on June Z, lH3,
and for the repulse in 1472 Of the army
| 0,000 strong, Of Charles the Rash,
Duke Of Burgundy. During this
siege in 1472 by the Duke of Bur
gundy, the town was defended by the
! citizens, and the women formed them
selves into companies for the prOtec-
ton of the outer walls, and distin-
| guished themselves by their desperate
courage, nOtonly fighting with swords
ana spears, bat thrOEing down heavy
stones, lighted fagOts, beams and pom
derous missiles of every kind upon
the heads of the Burgundian soldiers.
The most famous Of these herOines
was Jean FOuquet, or Jean Lame as
she is also called, who, b~attle-aXe in
hand, tore down and carried off a
Burgundian banner which had been
planted on the walls by the besiegers.
For this courageous act she received
the additional name of Jean Ia Hach-
cite, {" Jane Battle-axe,") and an an
nual procession by ordinance of Louis
N was instituted to the memory of
her exploit. On these occasions the
banner, which has been carefully pre-
served in the town hall, is carried by
a band Ofyoung girls, and the women
take precedence of the men. THESE
annual professions, with the exeep-
ton Of the period during the first
French revolution, have been kept up
till the present day, and are observed
on the festival of Saint Angadreme,
the Sunday nearest TO October 18th.

Physical Culture.


Much has been said and written on
this subject, and although there are
decided signs of improvement in this
direction, there yet remains abundant
need for advance. The a~ncients laid
great stress on physical training, and
the highest end to be attained in their
schools was a sound mind in a sound
body. In the gymnasium and athlete
schools they grew very himble, tall,
stalwart and strong, large lunged, full
breasted, courageous and noble. Des-
Bite the attempts in the physical line
now, the brain is cultivated at the ex-
pense of the other members; hence
weak lungs and stomaehs, hearts in

race of pfgmies. In that mysterious
relation existing between mind and
hodv. the body cannot be i'll treated
without, as it were, showing resent
ment toward the mind, which in its
turn becomes twisted, stunted and
distempered with a one-sided growth,
and paralyzed in its search for knowl-
edge. One of the o~utgrowths of this
mistaken training is a tendency to
low spirits, discomfort, inaction and
reverie, for which no remedy applies
like physical exercise. Success in life

The Ivy on Christ Church
BY JOHN R. PEAsE.


On Christ Church tower the ivy climbs
Aloft to greet the belfry chimes
On dizzy heights it loves to stray,
And clasp those walls o fsombre gray.
The silver morns, the burning nOons,
Tie tranced among its bright ~festoOns,
A lovely sight it is, l ween,
A glorious plant, the ivy green.
WbeEs time has wrought his memories old
The ivy is Q climber bold,
With daring heart it climbs and scars
On frowning battlsmepts and towers,
And hangs its Haunting banners brave
On buttress, groin and archItTascs
The silver morns, etc, etc.
On dome and fame its tendrils Irvine;
The ivy seems a thing divine.
When temples reel and mountains rock
It braves the crashing thunder's shock;
Or broken arch and crqmbling wall,
It's mantle hides ambitiCa's pail.
The silver morns, etc, etc.
But Yesterday in living green
It's wreath luXuriant crowned the scene.
To-day its gorgeous glOries shame
The hammered battles Orifiame;
The ivy caught the iris dyes,
And hung the rainbow in the skies.
The silver morns, the burning o
Lie traaeed within its bright festoons.
A lovely sight it is, ween,
A glorious plant, the ivy green.

is vanished, and the foil with its film
is removed from the glass. When
ready for hanging, the wall or surface
to be decorated is covered with some

allowing 1t to follow all the irregular
tiles Of the wall mOuldings without

New Plan for Preserving wood.

The use of creosote, or sulphate OF
copper or iron, for preserving wood,
are open to objections which unfit
their employment fer Aoorings or or
namental wood work, the frst-named
leaving a permanent, disagreeable
smell, the latter discolOring the wood.
Borax is now found to be admirably
adapted for keeping such from decay.
The preparation is simple, and con-
sists in immersing the wood in a sat
urated solution of b0rax, which is
then heated to two hundred and
tWFeive degrees Fahrenheit. The wood
IS left for ten or twelve hours, the
time depending upon the density and
size of the planks. When taken out,
the boards are stacked until dry, then
re-immersed in a weaker solution OF
the salt for a brief time, dried again,
and are then ready for use. Boards
thus prepared are practically indies
tructable from rot, and are nearly in
combustible.

Burial Grounds

The French Academy of Sciences
has been considering the subject Ofbu-
rial grounds, and one of its members,
NJ. Charles de Freycinet, recommends
that vaults composed of stone or brick
should be abolished, - they have a
tendency to intensity the mephftic eN-
haIations. All collins should be de-
posted in the earth, which in a short
time will absorb all the nOXiOus gases.
Every burial ground must be thor
oughiy drained and thickly planted
with trees, which purify the atmOs-
phere by the vast 2mount Of oxygen
which they produce; a+G, finally no
new cemeteries should be allowed e
be opened within regulated distance
rom any town or village.
