The Future of Tennessee.

Knoxville Correspondence Cincinnati
Chronicle, Rad -
This State should become the great
State of the South. It's broad domain
and its geographical position giving it
d close connection with Eastern as well
as Western markets; making a COM
mon interest to the East and West by
its present railroad facilities, and those
under construction; connecting the
Mississippi Valley with the Atlantic
coast; by its vast mineral resources, its
timber, etc, it demands from its Legis-
laturea liberal and progressive Iegisla-
ton. Thanks 10 the Constitutional
Convention, it has given the ballot to
eli our citizens, ana now this state
enjoys q degree Of prosperity never be-
fore attained since or before the war.
With a few exceptions, where politics
were at the base, everything has been
as auiet in this State as Ohio. The
Governor and Legislature have been
prompt IN putting the mentioned dis
turbances down. the people, both
those formerly in the rebel and Union
ranks are united, and bent upon one
common cauSe-that Of making Ten
nessee the great Pennsylvania OF the
South. Politics are no more discussed,
and the State IS entering into a career,
il is to be hoped, Of great prosperity.
II it were generally known by imm1-
grants what the prospects and advan-
tages Of Tennessee really are, many
more people would turn their faces %
ward the sunny South. EYen here,
the climate is so mild the farmer can
work out doors all the year round. it
is said by physicians that this climate
IS as healthy as any in the world.
There are at all times a great many
pulmonary invalids here, who gener-
allv 20 away much benefited.

Capital Removal.

MILWAUKEE,, February 27.-The
citizens of Milwaukee, assembled at
a mass meeting last night, adopted
resolutions pledging themselves to
furnish the State with grounds and 4
capitol buildings equal, if not better,
than the present ones, provided the
capital is removed to Milwaukee. a
number of the members of the Legis-
lature were present and spoke strong
lp in favor of the removal, and thought
if submitted to a vote of the people,
nine-tenths would vote for it. a
committee of influential Milwaukians
were appointed to visit Madison and
labor in the cause, as nearly all the
members of the Legislature have to
pass through Milwaukee 70 get to
Madison. 1t is thought that the ma
jority for the removal will be large.
Two servant girls, named Kostar
and Ear, employed at the City Hotel,

New Tricks of IanpaBese IuggIers

From tho San Francisco Bulletin-l
The Royal Satsuma troupe Of Japan
ESQ artists made their Introductory
how to a san Francisco audience last
night. The fame of this company, as
acrobats, jugglers and equiliprSt5 at
tracted large audience to the
theater. The performance opened
with contOTtiOn and crab bend
ing by plump little lei
low, about eight iyears OF age,
whose grace, agility and good nature
fairly captured the house. Then came
the tub and ladder tricks, with little
"All RighF' as the principal feature.
A skillfIi prestidigitateur swallowed
q pine while it was lighted, or at
tembted to make the audience be-
lieve he accomplished the feat, and
subsequently, drew it from his
clothes. he also performed interest
ing tries with eggs, tops, ribbons, etc.
The most startling trick in his line
was the pretended swallowing OF
needles. one by one, and then draw
inc them from the mouth on a long
string. This was the only act where
solos on the barbarous japanese ndqie
were introduced, and after the
novelty of this sound wears OH, 1t
can we'll be spared. The slack rope
aud wire acts were performed very ac-
ceptably by young woman, VINO
succeeded in putting on a dress with
out the aid of the umbrella in balanc-
ing. In the hanging pole trick, a
slender lad displayed skill and
strength to a remarkable degree,
and set the laws of gravita-
tion at defiance with the ut
most equaninity. The Oriental
Hercules has jaws that would prove
a sure fortune 10 any hotel runner. A

tainment is novel and interesting, and
merits success.

theatrical Sensation.

a dispatch of the 24th, from New
York, says: Another theatrical
smash, making the third this week, is
the sensation this evening. On Mon
day the French Theater Opera BOutfe
managers took money from the people
and furnished no performance, the
actors refusing to play because they
had not received their pay. Last
night Max MaretZek issued his proc
iamation suspending the italian opera
for the season, because it was not sup
ported. This evening, when the peO-
pie went to seek an hours recreation
at Tamany, the doors were closed, the
actors standing in groups eXcitedly
discussing the state of affairs. Some
of them stated that they had not been
paid at all; others that they had only
received part of their pay and did not
intend TO perform. Ii is stated, how
ever, that the Tamany Amusement
Company fOresaW the occurrence, and
privately circulated the report that nc
performance would take place to-
night. Mr.. Grover, the manager, has
gone to Philadelphia. Mr.. Jarrett is
out of town, and for the time being
the Tamany Amusement Company
fail to furnish amusement to thea
tarIess- people. The fact that three
large theaters have been compelled tC
close their doors in one week, owing
to want Of patronage, is regarded "a
evidence that our mercantile commu
nity do not feel in a very happy MOOD

The Eigger not PIayed-Out Yet.

The Washington correspondent OF

80 Let"
From the New York star.l

From the New York start
On Broadway, between Waverly
place and Canal street-a distance Of
eleven b!ocks-there are siXty-three
stores and offices to let. OF this num-
Der thirty-eight are large stores. On
the block opposite the Metropolitan
Hotel there are five magnificent stores
labeled "tO LEI" and between Waver-
ly place and Bleecker street, there are
thirteen business places standing
empty. We think that this is pretty
good evidence that business is dull"
IN this city, and that rents are coming
down. They must come down. The
necessarieS Of life are lower by twenty
per cent. than they were a year ago;
The wages of mechanics have been
reduced, and now down must
come house rents, or not only
mechanics but business men must
ilge to jersey and Brooklyn. The
emigration 10 Brooklyn last summer
was large; this year it will be larger.
In fact, New York is being drained
every day by Brooklyn and Jersey,
and that is the reason we find so many
dwellings to let, even in the most de-
sirable part of the city. In one block
in Waverly Place, we noticed yester,
day six private dwellings to hire, and
dozen bills of " apartments to let, ]"
and it is very much the same in all
parts of the city. Real estate agents
put on bold front, and declare that
there is "nothing the NATTER" but i'll
private they acknowledge that "rent5
must come down, and that real estate
is fat upon its back" Well, it is
time house rent was reduced from the
Abnormal figure it attained during the
war. The Astors and the Stewards
cling very tenaciOusly to war prices /,
but we believe next spring will ''fetch
'um."

" Aati-RObhsr Question.

A New York editor has been
shown very wonderful in
tention, termed an anti-rob-
Der stick" in the handle of which
is located a small galvanic battery. A
slight pressure causes the instant
throwing out Of a strong steel needle
at the other end, and penetrating the
hichwavman who comes in contact
with it. The galvanism of the ma
chine at once paralyzes him, and it
becomes an easy matter to capture or
get away from him. The editor afOre-
said saw the inventor experiment on
a dog. He touched the animal with
the needle, and instantly the dog be
came as stiff as a poker, being unable
to wag even his tail. The only Objec
ton 10 this invention seems to be thai
the robber could use 1t with just the
same effect as the honest man. ItS
utility, therefore, is questionable.

The Blonde War,

CHICAGO, February 27.-Last night
after the Blondes had given bonds,
Mr.. Story, editor Of the Times, sued
out another warrant against Hender-
son, one of the defendants, charging
him with assault and attempts to kill.

serve a warrant during the perform
ance, but d9SIined TO do so. He serv-
ed it this NJ ning, and after examin-
alton Hend&sOn was required to fur
nish FIVE hundred dollars bonds to an
swer before the Recorders Court this
afternoon. The Blonde troupe left for
Detroit via Michigan Central Rail
road. Just before leaving Story OBJ

derson in civil suit. An officer went
to the depot to serve it, but Hender-
son escaped in a carriage He went
to the Fort Wayne depot aud left on
the train which started the same hour
as the. Central, and probably joined
his troupe where the two roads cross,
some thirty miles from here.

Pierre BOnaparte and the saddIer's
Daughter.

Washington Correspondence New York

One day when Prince Pierre Bona
parte was driving to the races some
part of the harness gave way. Forum
ately g saddler's shop was close by; and
while the broken harness was being
repaired the Prince regaled himsell
with a glass of water and discovered
how marvellously pretty was the sad
dler's daughter who served him and
courtsied SO modestly to his royal
highness. True, he had seen beauty
in its most artistic and cultivated
torrns, bewitching and dazzling
enough to turn even q princes head a
score of times. But this road
side flower captured the Prince with
the strategy of loveline5s, ana
his heart was left behind him
as he rode on to the races. The
Prince, like other men, found 1t Dill IN
cult to live without a heart, and he
was not long in winning that OF the
saddler's pretty daughter. The story
can hardly be repeated too often, as
what succeeded was so knightly and
true. and Withal 50 rare. The Prince
decided to marry her, and so placed
her at school, from which she emerged
with the necessary acquired graces-
She was quick and apt, and so ex-
tremely good looking that, when
Prince Pierre presented his wife to
the Emperor, his Majesty was gracious
enough to forget her origin, and re-
ceived her cordially. 1t would finish
beautifully to add that the Empress
initiated the Emperor in his reception
of her. But alas! Eugene, who is
the most charming bigOt in France
drew her robes about her IN scorn at
the presumption. But for all that
the wife of Prince Pierre graces the
court circles of Paris, or did until
Auteuil, and the people take pride in
her,
