The directors of the University OF
Tennessee, at Knoxville, request US to
state that the Radical element which
hitherto ruled supreme, has had to
q bow the knee" to the new order OF
things, and step into the back ground.
The University is now managed solely
by Conservatives and gentlemen. No
Southern youth need fear going
thither, as he will be brought under
the rule of and in contact with gentle
men only.

"a shocking affair,-an earth
quake" I'VE beg our readers not to
suppose for q moment that we are go
ing to fall into the habit of dishing up
to them stale and insipid jokes that
have gone the rounds of the illustra-
ted press, as is the custom of some of
our bloviating neighbors, but the
above is said to be original with a
young gentleman, of Memphis, who
perpetrated the joke on his eighty
second birth day.
Gen. Albert Pike, 33o Sov. Grand
Commander of the Southern Jurisdic-
ton n. s. A. Masons, has received a
letter, of which we have received a
copy, from Josiah Ii. Drummond, 33o
Sovereignty, Grand Commander OF the
Northern Jurisdiction, fully endorsing
Gen. Pixies conouct toward Gonley, of
st, Louis, who has been SO bitter
against Scottish Rite Masonry. He
gives Gonley :" fits on various sub
jects, among Others his denial Of the
existence of the Inefiable Lodge at Al
bany. Bro. Drummond also reports
the discovery of several ancient draw
ings representing degrees in Ineffable
Masonry. This letter will be embod-
led in his annual report. These inter-
esting documents were found
in st. Patrick's Lodge, Alba
ny, and bore the name of
Sir William johnson, date 1869. They
were photographed by an eminent ar
fist of Albany and a copy of them for
warded to Gen. Pike, who, if any
body can, will be able to deeipher
them.
The me0nest " eating house, or
I" snack hole " in America is the VIR-
GINA HOUSE at Bristol, on the East
& Virginia r. r., just on
the Virginia line. 1t is 30 far ahead
of anything that we have ever seen,
as regards dirt, filth and pretension,
that we r compelled to notice it. A
friend of ours returning home
from a trip East, tells us
that he counted no less than
twenty-one full grown negroes at
the train, each urging him to go to
the Virginia House to get his break
fast. Yielding to their solicitations
he went thither and had an expert
that will .debar him from ever
a repetition of the dose.
The twenty-one drummers had gath
cred a crowd of maybe sixty persons,
to wait on which there three men.
The plates were dirty, the knives and
forks were filthy, and the table cloths
were scandal0us., We refrain from
narrowing the feelings of our readers
with description of the breakfast.
1t was too filthy and dirty to be
OF. The only advice we can
give u readers is to steer clear of the
Virginia House at Bristol.
