Josh Billings on Frogs.

josh Billings replies TO correspondent in this
wise
+" Benvolio."-In writing for you an analysis Of
whole tEing vervsius I'D liberstIng, from the work
ov celebrated French writer ov the 10th century.
The frog Is, In the first place, Q tadpole, aul
body and tall without coming to head.
He travels in pond holes, BY the side Of the
tail, which wiggles with uncommon limberness
and vivacity. By and by, before long, pretty
soon, In few days, bis tale 10 no more, and legs
begin to emerge rom the south end of the animal
and from the north end at the same time may be
seen disposition to head out.
In this curious way the frog is built, and then
for the first time In his life he begins to git his
head above water.
I've days more, he may be seen sitting down on
himself by the side ov the pond hole, and looking
at the dinner baskets Of the children on their way
to the district school.
As the children cum more nearer with Q club or
chunk or brick IN his hand to swott him with, he
rares up on his hind legs and enters the water
head fust, without opening the door.
Thus the frog does business for spell Of time,
till he gifts to be 81, and then his life s more rami'
fed.
Frogs have two natures, ground and water, and
as free from sin as an oyster.
never knew frog to hurt anybody who paid
his honest dues.
don't recollect now whether q frog has any
body's business but the frogs.
Their hind legs are used for refreshments, but
the rest ov him won't pay for eating.
frog Is the only person who can live in well
and not get tired.
The bull frog is the boss OF the puddle, and has
log to sit on, over on the other side ov the pud
die. and talks to the rest Of the frogs, way down
In his throat, 80 that you cant understand more
than half what he SEES he Is generally cross and
lazy old devil, all over warts. 49,
This Is all there n worth knowing now about the
frog, except that they catch files In fly time and
winter by freezing up solid.
p. ST. have epdeavored to translate mi author
cloos, but il is tnK to render all his beauties INTO
our tung, without bursting the sense.

Death from Accident of an Old Citizen
Of KnoxyiIle.


The Knoxville Press and Herald of
Tuesday chronicles the death on the day
previous of David Hope, one of the Oldest
citizens of that place. Mr.. Hope, about
IL o'clock, entered one of the rooms
usually occupied by the family, in the res
idence of his son, John W. Hope. on
High. street, and in few minutes after
ward the family were startled by the report
Of pistol. On entering the chamber, it
was found that the deceased had opened a
drawer OF the table or desk in which he
had kept various articles of different kinds,
among them pistol which had been
loaded a considerable length of time. By
some means the pistol had exploded, the
ball taking effect in the groin and severing
the main artery. When his daughter
reached him he was barely able to speak,
the only intelligible words being ''Pm
shot," or something 10 that effect. He
bled very profusely, and lived but a few
minutes. There were two small children
| in the room at the time of the accident
David Hope was upwards of seventy
| years of age. He was man of some eccen.
iricity of character, but remarkable for his
strict integrity, clearness of judgment and
goodness of heart. His business was that
Of a matchmaker and engraver, though he
was general artificer in metals. He war
a workman Of unusual skill and ingenuity
in the finer metals, having no superior, in
his day, in The Southern country. His I'm.
timely death is deeply lamenled by all hir
old acquaintances and friends.

To the Editors of the Union and American.
, The writer, in common with many other
citizens, read the communication of"Jus-
tita" in yesterdays paper with the great
eat interest. The writer of this knows the
facts stated to be true, though one half has
not been told. Nearly all, If not all of the
suits against the corporation, about to be
tried at the present term of the United
States Court, brought in the name of non-
residents, were instituted by parties who
are citizens Of this city, who, instead OF
using their capital in legitimate trade,
have taken this mode OF making money,
and in this manner, indirectly though il
may be, assisting in depressing the tax
payers of this city. The names Of these
parties Gun be given, and should be
known Il the public. Suits after suits
have been Instituted and judgment OBJ
tanned, and money collected.
In many cases these suits have not been
stayed. They have never been continued
over, and in nearly every case the plaintiff
could have been non-suitsd had usury been
pleaded by the attorney for the corpora
ton. As the city is shout bankrupt it is
time something was done TO prevent, or at
least 10 stay, these ruinous proceedings;
aud | would suggest that the citizens em-
ploy some suitsble attorney, to be associ-
ated with the city attorney, to see that in
every case brought against the corpora
iion proper defence is made; that cases be
continued over if possible; that appeals
be taken, and especially that usury be
pleaded in every case where checks were
sold at usuIi0us rates.. w.
To the Editors of the Unien and American,
Your correspondent Justiiia intimates
| that we have remedies in the courts for the
evils pointed out by him which the people
of Nashville are now suffering. The
great evil which be so truly describes, of
| issuing checks for sale and putting them
on the market, and which, from the ex.
| tent TO which it has been carried, threatens
the city of Nashville with speedy ruin, is
the very thing which Judge Shackleford
while Chancellor, lately decided might be
done. This decision, monstrous As it was,
snd without single authority to sustain
j it, licensed the city plunderers TO the per-
petration of new wrongs. Before that
time these things were only done in a
corner, and generally covered up and
| of course were not 30 numerous. Since
that decision these Illicit transactions have
been open and common, and all who had
money and could make up their minds to
join the ring in plundering the city, have
gone in, and the facts are as Justitia has
described them. t..< i
There is no intelligent Justice of the
Peace in the county who does not know
that the whole thing is pslpably in VIOLA
ton of law, but at present there is no
remedy. At least one thousand of the
plundered have made up their minds that
the plunderers shall disgorge when the
courts get their heads level.
The gentlemen who are buying and
sueing on checks will see the woods on FIRE
some of these days.

serious accident.

A little boy, four years of age, con OF
Mrs. Barnes, teacher at the Trimble
school met with a serious accident yester-
day. In South Nashville be got on the
street cars to tide down to town, and upon
resching the corner of College and Church
streets, he stepped of the platform, and
in doing 80 bis foot was thrown under the
wheel which passed over it, crushing
that limb in q horrible manner, The
driEeT states that the sccident was una
voidable, which statement was confirmed by
several passengers. The boy was a spright-
ly little fellow, and for some time past has
been in the habit of riding on the cars I'M
