Of which we endorse:
This house is one Of the strongest and
most reliable in the South, and its mana

cotton trade that enable them to know the
very best interests of their customers. Mr.
J. NJ. Carsey, the senior member of the
firm, was formerly a partner in the house
of Bailey, Ordway & Co., and was the chief
contributor TO the success and enviable
reputation of that well known firm. He
has been for years an active dealer in cot
ton, and knows the markets better per
laps than any man in Nashville. His son,
w. H. Carsey, is young man of fine bust
ness qualifications, and is one Of the best
merchants of his age we have ever known
Our old friend Buck lAIcNiSh, whilom
postmaster at Nashville during the Con
federate regime, and true-blue Southern
man and gentleman, is connected with this
house and solicits the favors of his friends.

T was beautiful to stand and watcn
The fountains crystal turn TO gems,
And from the sky such oolors catch,
As if twere raining diadems;
But this, with all its charming grace,
Cannot my shabhy Hat replace.
Dear is to me the little stream,
Whose unimprisoned waters run
Wild as the changes Of dream,
by rock and glen, through shade and sun
But Gearer still than all the rest,
Is one of Vain and Walkers Best.
Flowers on its grassy margin spring,
Fish in its eddying circles play,
Birds midst the alder branches sing,
Flocks through the verdant meadows stray,
And Maud looks up with sweetest smile
At my new Hattie latest style.

the granting ~ charters - railroads esi.
culsted and intended to build up Padu-
cab 1t the expense Of Illinois. Our
Estate policy" was denounced as blind
illibsrality, and fidicdled ~ unbeeoming
in an intellIgsnt and enterprising people.
What was mote fin our eye, In that
connection, is now beam In the eyes Of
our neighbors, and they fail to see any
thing In 1t that Is either illiberai q objec-
tionable. 1t was believed that the Hon.
Oscar Turner regarded Cairo as eligibly
situated for tobacco market, and some
body reported to, the editor ofthe Her
AID that that honorable gentleman had
said that a portion of Ballard county was
tributary to Cairo, and the plaaters Of
that portion might find IT to their
advantage to patronize the Cairo mar
ket. Strsightway the Herald fires sew
eral broadsides into Col. Turner, and
keeps up the bombardment. until the
Colonel publicly declares that he Is quite
oblivious to the existence Of Cairo, and Is
not quite sure that he ever heard Of any
other tobacco market In the world except
that at Paducab. Now, IL our Paducah
neighbors think they can extend their
arms out into Illinois and gather It's trade
to themselves, and at the same time
whack our knuckles every time they see
them venturing beyond the wdfer line OF
Ballard county In search of Few hogs
heads Of tobacco, they are simply mista- !
so. They must practice |
the liberaity they preach, o; the first |
thing they know they will strip spirit |
OF resentment that will standup like a
Chinese wall between then. and the |
corn and oil' Of Egypt.
Since Colonel Turner declares that he |
did not encourage the movement to build |
up tobacco market I'm Cairo, we believe !
him; but rs he lives nearer to Cairo than
he does to Paducah, and within that |
scope Of country that sooner or later must |
pay tribute TO Cairo, he ought TO encour-
age our market every way he can and he
would do 30, 10 he were not governed by |
those notions Of estate policy" that were
regarded by the Paducah papers as so |
enormous and old fogyish In the people
OF Illinois.

Sol Smith Russell, at whose wonder

at one time a supernumerary In the old
Defance theater, in this city. Many of
the old frequenters Of that establishment
recall his presence on the stage as trim
mer Of lamps, spreader Of carpets and
.arranger Of furniture. At that time he
didn't give the slightest promise OF re-
markable outcome I'm any direction.
We never saw any person who enjoyed
more perfect command over the muscles
Of his face. He Is not surpassed by either

IL this is 40, he has a fortune within his
