Governor ssntsr at Knoxville.

On Thursday last Governor Senter was
met at the depot at Knoxville by num-
Der of his friends, and called upon for q
speech. The Knoxville Wing thus re-
ports his remarks:
He was just from the seat of our State
government, having travelled from Nash
vile here. His observations on the route
led him to believe that the people all along
the line were peaceable and quiet, and
manifested no disposition to lawlessness.
General Grant, he said, was at work,
and General Cooper was at work, and
that under the present administration OF
affairs he had no doubt our State would
soon assume its former glory, the peace
and prosperity of which it had been
so ruthlessly deprived by the late
wicked and fanatical rebellion. he
thought that counties which had lately
shown o disposition to disregard
law we're now among the best in the State.
He believed that under this bene6cent
state of affairs the militia might soon be
disbaHded and sent home to pillow. If
this was done, and the districts heretofore
rebellious again insulted the laws and
persecuted loyal citizens, and the State
Guards had to be called out a second
time, then wo be unto those upon whom
the hand of stern justice should fall He
paid high tribute to East Tennessee, as
the home of bis childhood and the pride
of his manhood. The tone of his remarks
shows very clearly that he will take no
backward steps in the line of policy laid
down by the Republican party of Ten
pessee. He was warmly congratulated
BY his friends, and departed with their
heat wishes.

The Fiddler, his wife. and the Fiddle-cass.

The Fiddler. his Wife, and the Fiddle-case.
A fiddler and his wife, who had rubbed
through life as most couples usually do,
sometimes good friends, at others not
quite so we'll, one day happened to have
a dispute which was conducted with
becoming spirit on both sides. The wife
was sure she was right, and the husband
was resolved to have his own way. What
was to be done in such easel The
quarrel grew worse by explanations, and
at last the fury of both rose to such
pitch that they made VOW never to sleep
together in the same bed for the future.
This was the most rash vow that could be
imagined, for they still were friends at
bottom, and besides, they had but one
bed in the house. However, resolved
they were to 20 through with 1t, and at
night the fddie- case was laid in bed be-
tween them, in order to make separs-
ton. In this manner they continued tor
three weeks; every night the fiddle.case
being placed as barrier to divide them.
By this time, however, both heartily
repented of their vow, their resentment
was at an end, and their love began to
return; they wished the fiddle-case away,
but each had too much spirit to begin.
One night, however, as they we're both
lying awake, with the detested tiddle-case
between them, the husband happened TO
sneeze, to which the wife, as is usual in
such cases, bid God bless him. AYE,
butt returns the husband, woman, do
You say that from your hearth" Indeed
/ do, my poor Nicholas" cries his wife;
81 say it with all my heart" If so,

good remove the fiddle-case." Gold

There is an implied respect and rever-
ence in the term womanly, whilst, on the
other hand, womanish implies the oppo-
site. Says Mr. Gladstone: Womanish
is the reverse of all this. II conveys the
Oriental or brute notion of women:
puppets, coy, frightened, useless, and
without soul or brain-creatures TO be
used as plsythings by the superior animal,
and to be thrown aside-beings whose
humanity is devoid of ell that makes
humanity holy. Such are the wOmaniSh
women of the sensuslist of the East
such is the contemptuous meaning the
adjective bears here. To speak of an
English man as womsnish is to hold him
up to the bitterest contempt" There are
many such pairs of words-manly and
mannish, childlike Il. e., childly) and
childish, etc.
