pI DR.. Kane, finding flower under
Humboldt glacier, was moro affected by it
because it grew beneath the lip and cold
bosom of the ice, than he would have been
by the most gorgeous garden bloom. So
some single struggling grace, in the heart Of
one far removed from divine influence, is
dearcr than whole life of virtues in one
favored Of heaven.

~ Arscno Houssaye says, in his latest
essay on female beauty: "frish girls have
the most beautiful hands. EngIlsh girb
have too aeshy and plump hands, The
hands Of American girls are TOO long and
narrow, tho fingers Of German girk ass
TOO short and palms too broad. Nsxt -
the Irish girls, tho daughters of Poland
deserve the palm % far y the beauty of
the hand il concerned. The hsnds of
French, Italian and Spanish girb may b.
called Indifferent, though there ars moss
beautiful hands to be seen in France snd
Italy than in Spain. The Parisisnass b.
stow great deal Of care on their hands,
and the consequence is that superficial and
inexperienced observers will believe that
they have 6uer hands than tho women Of
any other part Of France or any other
country.

THE PRoposEp TENNESSEE STATE CoNgEN-
T1oN-THE FRANoHIsE-Ex-PREs1D JOHN
SON. &c Nashville, October 31.--The
lower house Of our Legislature has been the
scene lately of exciting discussions in regard
to the proposed constitutional convention,
the point at issue being sn amendment to
the bill calling the convention, which pre-
vides that all citizens Of the State, enfran-
chised and DISTINGUISHED, shall be allowed to
vote in the election of delegates to the con-
vention. It was participated in by quite a
number, and continued Tor some time, With
out any definite action being taken, There
is iittis doubt that the amendment will be
adopted by strict party vote, The radicals
opposed it on the alleged grounds THAI it
conflicts with the present franchise law,
which is claimed to be part Of the constitu-
ton Of the State. The friends of the amend
ment, On the other hand, insisted that even
allowing the franchise law to be constitu-
tionai provision, its restrictions could not be
applied to the mere selection of delegates to
convention called to repeal said franchise
law. The convention will probably meet
early il December, although the day for the
election Of delegates has not yet been set.
Andrew johnson has visited the Lcgisla-
turc nearly every day for a week, and Cos
sip is busy as to what is the drift Of his
movements. 1t is pretty certain he Hill be
the leading spirit of the coming convention.
1t Is said he is about to settle in Nashville,
and will run for Congress from this district.

The present low price of the great staples
of this section, wheat and -four, has de-
pressing effect upon all classes. Farmers,
who can, hold back for better prices, and
consequently but little money is returned
here for our productions, and hard times and
scarcity Of money is the cry. The Wheat
crop of the country the past season was
large one, and the demand seemingly not so
great as that of the past year, and hence
the decline. In this case, it is a problem
for our farmers to solve, "whether to sell at
present prices or continue to hold for a rise"
Farmers differ much on this question. Some
contend that altho' the prices are low, the
use Of the ready money is far preferable to
holding for rise and rice versa. It depends
very much, after all, on mans circum-
stances as to which opinion he entertains.
tits not to solve this question that we
write, but for another purpose-to urge up
on all not to forget, in fulfilling the large
demands upon them, their small demands,
which also should claim their attention. The
mechanic and laboring man and others to
whom small debts are due, need their dues
to meet their obligations. We, ourselves,
saw an account Of SIS paid a few days since
to mechanic, which satisfied, in the same
day, four creditors, and heard Of note Of
500 being paid, which, in the space of an
hour, paid three claims Of 500 each and
made the debtors easy. This much to cx.
emplify that the payment of even small dues
enables many others to pay small debts, and
makes them easy, and, in the aggregate,
puts in circulation large sum, and thus,
even in hard times, lquidates a large amount
of Indebtedness and makes money compar-
atively easy.
Many debts were paid Immediately after
the war, with the small amount of money
then in circulation, and it is universally &C
knowledged that money was easier then than
since.
This much then to call the attention OF
those having money in hand-ard who are
indebted in even small amounts to the easy
mode of dispelling 'hard times" Pay the
small debts, at least, and money enough will
be put in circulation to pay the large debts
continue this system and
lizard times i'll come again, no more"
