"YoU'vE no wife, believe 7" said
Blank to his neighbor.
"No, sir" was the reply, 81 never
was married"
"Ah,' said Dlr. Blank, you are a
happy dog"
A short time after, Mr.. Blank, in ad-
dressing married man said:
You have a wife sir ?"
Yes sir--a wife and three children.
ssIndeed, said Mr.. Blank, "you are
a happy man."
" Why, Mr.. Blank" said one of the
company, " your remarks to the married
and unmarried seem to conflict, some

"Not at all--not at all, sir. Thore il

vessel was again in our control nothing had
taken fire, with the exception Gf the sail which
had been placed under the powder, and which
was speedily saved.
1t was now noon. think that all the natives
reached Byron Isle, except two women who re-
manned on board to go to Tahiti. 1 omitted to
say that our small boats were cut loose from the
stern of the vessel while we were blockaded in the
cabin.
The damage done to the vessel is not very great.
The deck was not blown off nor the planks great
ly disturbed, yet the whole was raised upward
about nine inches, no doubt giving the men stand
ing thereon a tremendous toss. The cabin where
the sailors lodged was partially demolished, but
the cabin near the stern was uninjured. The
thermometer and ship clock are broken, but the
chronOmeter continues to 60 well.
Having thus related all the circumstances as
well as l could, | ask you to excuse my faults of
photography, as l am not English, but a Dane.
1 hope you will receive this report before my ar
rival at Tahiti. CHARLES TEwART,

A Tragedy at Sea-Fresh Horrors of the
Coolie Trade.

The ST. Helena Guardian, relates a sad story,
perhaps the saddest that has ever been recorded
in connection with the traffic in human flesh.
The French bark Tdmar1s, Capt. Rannie, left
Macao on the 9th of Feb. 1869, with 800 emf
grants, q Chinese doctor, and a Portuguese inter-
prefer, besides eighteen in crew. According to
the accounts of those of the seamen who are still
on board the IdnoriS, everything passed on pleas
antly until within about go miles of the Isle of
Java a revolt broke out among the free emlgrants,
who seemed to have got the best of it, the crew
taking to the boats, DESERVING the ship, and leav-
inc their unfortunate Captain, who either did not
wish or was not able to abandon his ship, a ready
prey to these enraged semi-savages. What hap
pened to the unfortunate Captain we cannot
learn ; according to the interpreter on board the
Tanaaris, he was cut up and thrown overheard.
Thirty days these savages remained in possession
Of the ship, when they were captured by a Dutch
man-of-war, which had been sent in pursuit. The
Dutch found a Chinese in the late Captains
quarters, but could not discover the slightest
trace of NJ. Rannie. They placed him ard the
other leaders of the revolt in irons, and took the
ship to Padang. At Padang the remainder of the
former crew, who had landed in Java, here re-
joined their ship. A new Captain and chief Off
Ger were appointed, and the Ship started in pur-
suit of her destination on the 18th of June. By
this date the number of coolies had been reduced,
by arms and disease, to 245. Out of this num-
Der scores jumped overheard and committed
suicide when they found that they were to pro-
coed on their voyage. Scores OF others have died
of what n coolie ship Captain phlegmatically
would call the effects of opium. There now re-
main ON board the Iamaris rs emigrants alive.
Much as we must abhor the murder and wholesale
loss of lives on board this ship, we would almost
hail the occurrence as a blessing to humanity,
were those who are now engaged in this horrid
trade to take a lesson from this story and abandon
it forever. If the churterers of the ship are not
inclined to profit by the moral lesson of the story
of its voyage, they will most probably have to

Legal Advertising.

A few DAVIS ago, Mr.. Fleming, the
member from Knox, Introduced a bill
10 regulate the publications, of legal
notices, as a matteriabout Which the
public laws are not very liberal or ex-
plicit at present. The bill was called
IN Yesterday. Pending debate, Mr..
Steele, the member from Marshall,
opposed the measure because he sus-
pected IL was ''gotten up for the 6ene-
M of priRters.r We mention the
incident for the benefit our Of cotempo-
rarles throughout the State, who are,
doubtless, unaware how able and Wig

To starve out tho conservative press

something to regulate legal publical

Mr.. Steele, opposes it because he sus,

EDITORS CHRONICLE Learning
that there Is an erroneous impression
existing In the minds Of some per-
sons as to my position lrelatlyeto the
policy that should be pursued in re-
deemihg the notes Of the Bank of
Tennessee, at the request Of several
friends, / beg to submit my views on
the subject; not that I consider them
Of importance, as 1t Is, q question
which cannot possibly come before
the Constitutional Conception for Its
action, therefore I will have no op'
portunity to apply or enforce them
or any others that l might entertain
on this subject.
The Supreme Court of the United
States. has decided that the State O
Tennessee is bound to receive the
notes of the Bank of Tennessee for
taxes; hence, the necessity of MAX
ing some provision for their redemp.
ton. As these notes have generally
passed out OF the hands of the people
the original holders, and at very low
rates, and are now heidi specula.
tors mostly personsl iyipgoutIof the
State-whO pay no taxes here, l am
IN favor of their redemption ut the
lowest possible cost to the people.
I would, therefore, In levying the
State tax, provide that it may be dis.
charged by. the payment in United
States or National Bank currency, o.
one-half the amount levied thus
make it the interest Of the Taxpayers
to pay in this currency, and leave the
Bank of. Tennessee. notes IN the
hands of the present holders to bt
taken up by the bank, from its debt
ORR, in payment of debts due and IN
train of col lection, and for real es'
tate now owned and held by. the
bank, which will absorb the larger
part Of the circulation.
The amount not redeemed in one
of the ways suggested, should be pro
vided for by an issue of the bonds o
the State at par. Under no circum
stances would l favor the sale of thu
bonds to redeem the notes of thu
Bank OF Tennessee, or the receiving
of said notes for taxes on, the same
basis as United States currency.

Our manufactures are increasing
with wonderful rapidity under the
encouragement which they now re
ceive. With the improvements in
machinery already effected and still
increasing, causing machinery Il
take the place of skilled labor to a

very few years. Fortunately, too
