A Hard Hit

The Milan Times says: "Our Tonnes-
see exchanges, whose editors once belong
ed to the old Wing party, are taking their
stand with the Democracy, and oppose the
formation of the new party in our State.
Every old Wing in the State knows that
the formation of a new party is buta new
dodge of the leaders of the Radicals as the
last hope of an utterly disorganized party
who, unable to cope alone with the De-
mocracy. are seeking to wheedle a respec-
table number of sterling Wings into a new
organization to give it ballast. They
know that these old Wings would disdain
to unite with them as ayowed Radicals,
and the pill is coated with little sugar
to destroy its bitterness. Under new
name and new banner, and with new
song in their mouth, they hope to revive
the Radical party in our State"

The following advertisement appeared
in several public places in Cartegot coun-

Rat Catohers.

There are professional destroyers of
yermin who contract, by the month or
quarter, to remove rats, mice and reaches
from hotels, restaurants, etc. Some hun
ters of small game also furnish live rats
in large numbers, within twenty-four
hours from order, for the exhibitions of
dog pits. They do not keep the rats on
hand, but catch them as required. 1t is
generally believed, and is perhaps true,
that they use some bait, or attracting scent,
in trapping yermin. Such is not, howev-
er, the explanation, as the writer heard it
from the lips of one Of the most skilled in
this vocation;
81 have never used bait or drugs. |
have studied the animal" Here he drew
himself up in the copSciousness of supe-
rior knowledge, and proceeded with lof-
ty air. "No man that understands the
rat needs such things; nor are fancy rat
| traps of any account. Look at rats
nest; it is hid behind wall. 1t is pear
a chimney or a heat aue, so that it is Kept
warm. 1t is lined with soft stuff; rags

leaving sliding door to a small aperture
Put rags in the box, or sawdust, or both
and leave it in the warmest part of room
that the rats frequent, covered with al
old carpet, the aperture left open, M
one must disturb the room; the longe
things are thus left, the better. There will
be time when you can walk in quietly
drop the sliding door, and carry off tn
box under your arm with every rat in
that was in the building"
"At what hour of the day or night d.
you find all the rats in :" we inquired,
"You would not ask the question
you had studied the rat" was the some

Nothing.

Somebody tells the following about Un-
Gle Johnny McGill, who resided during
the war in upper East Tennessee:
Guerrillas, representing both parties,
kept it so warm in that forsaken region
that it was dangerous to belong to either
side. McGill had, in trying to ride both
horses, got several blackjackings, first
from the rebels and then from the yank-
ees. As all guerrillas dressed alike, he
made several mistakes in trying to pass
for either Union or orSouthern, as he thought
would suit the crowd. At last he was
ouertaken by a party whose politics he
could not even guess at and the following
dialogue ensued:
"Sir, are you Union man :"
"No, sir" responded McGill.
care you rebel, then l'
"No, sir, am not rebel, either.n
"Then what in the DEVILS name are
you?" roared the captain.
swell, sir, to tell you the real truth, !"
SAID McGill, 'I'm nothing-and burned
little Of that ~

To The Editor OF The Times:
DEAR SIR: Your people, l have no
doubt, feel a good deal of solicitude in
our approaching Fair, and, no doubt, are
anxious to know what the prospects are
for holding it. As | am very familiar
with everything connected with it, [ can
tell them precisely how the matter stands.
There is not now single shadow of
doubt as to the assured certainty of it..
Tell your people this, and beg them to at
tend, and to bring along something or 9TH
er for exhibition. l wish you and they
could see the immense building which is
now going up under the energetic super
intendence of Atkin & Bruce. 1t will be
grand and imposing ediGce, and will ac-
comlnodate, l am sure, hundreds Of per-
sons. There will be place for every
thing, and large observatory, from which
scores can look out upon the entire track.
We have a commodious dining saloon, and
meals will be served to all who desire
them. No charges for entries ofany sort.

A Dfother,s Death.

p.
Few who have lost their first and dear
est friend can read the following with un-
moistened eyes: '' ''''
Death comes an unsought guest to ev-
cry board, and at his special bidding some
beloved one goes forth to his mysterious
home. .. 49,.
Time aud philosophy may teach resig-
nation to hearts made desclate by his COM
ing; but they can never fill the vacancy
therein, when she that was our mother no
longer casts halo around our darkened
hearth.
A mothers place so loved, so worship
ped-once empty, must be forever so. A
breast once panged by mothers death,
no medicine can reach with healing. .
A mother is truly our guardian spirit
on earth. Her spirit shields and pro-
tccts us; she walks with our infancy, our
youth and mature ago-ever sheltering US
with her absorbing love, and expiating
our many sins with her blessed prayers,
And when our mother, with all her bur.
den of love, her angelic influence, her
sanity care, ceases her beauteous life,
how much we lose of home, of happiness,
of heaven, no one can reckon; for our
mother was none but ours, and we can on =
ly know how holy she was-how sacred
her memory must always be. ''..
But may we not borrow consolation
from the thought that our loss is heavens
gain; that surely one angel watches over
us, erasing with grateful tears the record
of our sins, and making easy our path tc
her with blessed and blessing prayers'

The Election in Kentucky.

The Democratic majority in Kentucky
will exceed Fifty thousand. The Radicals
have not carried a single county in the
State. With all their efforts-with the
aid of the independents-with the acqui-
sition of the negro vote-with a perfect
organization againsta party whose strength
has made it weak at least in discipline
they have been able to achieve nothing.
They had the eager, undevelOped assur-
ande of new hope to inspirethem. They
had body of census.takers in every
neighborhood to instruct them, They en-
oountered divided and undrilled antag-
onist. The resultiis an overwhelming
victory for the Democratic party.

Jim Fisk as a Mormon,

James Fisk, Jr., is famous for his su-
perabundant affection for the opposite
sex; an affection, it is said, more remark
able for its miscellaneousness than dis
crimination. He never loses an opportu-
nifty to display himself in public, and is
rarely unaccompanied by woman. He
almost always introduces his fair friends
as his wife, and has SO confounded his ac-
quaintauces by presenting half dozen
women of very different pattern under the
title, that they have a good deal of curl
osity to learn who the real Mrs. Fisk is.
She has of late appeared with stunning
turnout at Cape May, Long Branch, Sara
toga and Newport simultaneously, there
by increasing the bewildermont that is
felt on the subject. One Of Fisk's boon
companions was introduced by him the
other day to hitherto unseen Mrs. Fisk
with the stereotyped remark "Permit me
to present my wife" sis this the rea
Mrs. Fisk, jim 2" was the inquiry "tht
genuine, no mistake, simon-pure article p
"Of course it is. Do you suppose wOulC
introduce any lady as my wife who wa
anything else" "Perhaps | shouldn't
but as you have told me in the last thre,
months that at least eight or nine womer
(not looking any more alike than rail

to the conclusion, old boy, that this wife

Obituary Of Samuel 3. MOCallie.

Who was born November l5h, 1873,
in Ssuisr County, TenhssSse, and
died at Nashville July 18th, 1870.
The subject Of this notice was we'll and
favorably known in Monroe county, haV-
ing been resident of the town of Mad.
sonyille for more than twenty years. He
was a plain, unassuming man, industrious,
frugal and honest. His word was his bond
under all circumstances. He never failed
to fulfill promise, unless there was an
insurmQuptAble obstacle, amounting 70 a
providential interposition. Hence, he
commanded the universal esteem, admi-
ration and confidence Of his associates,
not one of whom failed to heave sigh
when the melancholy news arrived that
"Samuel McCallie was no more" He
was nicely inferred in the City Cemetery
at Nashville, and he was quietly reposing
in close proximity to the hallOwed bones
of Charles Carroll, General Zolhcoffer,
and other illustrious worthless, who sleep
to wake no more until "the ArchangePs
trump shall sound"; yet, Notwithstanding
INC uOuOleu OolhPalJ ~ ioPOSou ih3 mo
family and friends were unwilling that
he should rest in a strangers land, and
consequently he was disinterred and bur
led in Madisonville on the 4th of August.
Though no professed follower of Christian
ity, he bore the seal of deliveranco by
broader commission, honesty, virtue, worth
and incorruptible integrity; all of which
combined form the essence of true Chris
tianity. Truly, che rests from his labors
and his works do follow him." May he
quietly repose until God shall gather his
jewels together, and may he form a spark
ling gem in that divine tiara, is the earn
est desire of all his friends, who deeply
sympathize with his devoted wife and fam
lily in their afliction, and pray that final
ly they may all form an unbroken circle
in that home "where sickness, pain and
death are felt and feared no more"

Virginia Banks,

Not only the Bank of Commerce, at
Fredericksburg, Va, which is winding up
its business, but also the Bank of the Old
Dominion, at Alexandria, Va, which is
also winding up its affairs, pays dollar for
dollar in greenbacks on its outstanding
notes, but the latter has paid dividend
to its stockholders of $40 per share. 1t
has been redeeming its notes at par for
the past eighteen months. The Merch-
ants Bank, at Lynchburg, has been re-
deemiDg its notes at par, and probably
other Virginia banks.

A Suggestion.

We fud the following unsolicited sug-
gestion in the Louisville Courier-J -Journal.
1t is said that Charles Sumner is to
write one or two lectures for Revels, and
that Revels is to deliver them next win
ter and give Sumner half the proceeds.
If these Senators are so very' anxious to

The Prussian ARMY.

The Prussian army is weighed down by
a hideous aristocracy of officers. The re-
al Generals are not, according to appear

ponderous and vain old King who goes
along with his army and thinks he COM
mands it, Murat Halstead.
