THE rI.oATER.


We copied, last week, from the
Nashville Union and American u
communication from tile county OF
Cheatham, claiming the right to fur
nish the next candidate for Floater.
For one, we admit the justice of that
claim, and believe that, II Cheatham
will give us the name of a man wor-
thy Of the office, Montgomery will
cheerfully y. pport him. We are no
stickler for rotation In office, nor for
giving preference to localities In the
selection of candidates, but where
these things can he done without
detriment to tire public good, itshould
be done If harmony can thereby be
promoted. What wc want is q prop
er man to represent this Pictorial
District, in manner that will do
credit to his constituents, and we
favor the claims Of Cheatham be-
cause Cheatham sets them up and
thinks them just. Individually, we
care not from which county the can
didatc comes so he comes qualified to
fill the office. Buff others lay stress
upon this minor consideration, we
are ready to yield the point, and
cheerfully, IL prejudice can be allayed
or pride gratified at SO small cost.
No county in the District has so
strong a claim as Cheatham, to the
"local habitation" of the next Flote-
rial Representative, and we shall
take pleasure in supporting him.
without regard to his political status
before the war.
Since the foregoing was IN type, we
found the following call, in the Nash
vile Banner, upon friend of long
standing and countyman of high
intelligence. He will understand the
drift of our remarks and acquit us of
any intention to forestall public opin
ion for or against any man i'm this, or
any other county:
Our FlONterisl Representative.
RINGOLD, Montgomery Co., /
August II, 1870. !
To the Editor Of the Banner:
If John f. Sturdivant, Esq. of
Montgomery, will permit his name
to be used as a candidate for Floater,
at the next election, he will receive
the hearty support of many voters In
Cheatham, Robertson, Montgomery
aud Davidson.

A CROSS HUsBAND.-NTrs. Smith-The fact is my
husband is becoming so outrageously cross and
nervous that there is no living with him. He pre-
tends one day that he has got the dyspepsia; the
next day liver complaint; the next is sick, with no
appetite-decares that there is nothing the table
ut to eat and on. 1t is all nonsense, and nothing
but his confounded ugliness. From the very.bottom
of nay heart, believe he wants to worry me to
death.
Lady Friend-Mrs. Smith, think you are wrong
No woman has kinder or more indulgent husband
than you. ] must confess that have noticed
change in Mr., Smith; but am inclined to think that
all he wants is a tonic; and If were you, would
not be day without PLANTATION BITTERs in the
house. Make him take them moderately three
times day, and in short time think you will see
a change. My experience is that Plantation Bitters
is one Of the best and most delicious tonics In the
world; and that for nervousness, loss of appetite,
dyspepsia, and all kindred complaints, there is
nothing so good.
AN IMPORTANT MEDICAL DIscovERY-The new
process by which the French make the human body
transparent has been discovered or similar pro-
cess, by the celebrated Dr. Hassenplug, so that he
can examine the human body accurately ana dis
cover the precise nature OF the disease. All cases
wrapped in mystery should at call on the Doctor
at his office, No. 422 N. EIGHTH Street, Philadel-
phia. He cures when others fail.

A North Carolina straish DrinI.

Some years since, when they were buildin'
the locks on Coal River, 1 was over thar at
Peeytona, and 1 stopped in at DIR. Kellum s.,
who physicked people in that quarter at that
time. Thar was a famine just then, and
great sufferin' among men, women, and chill
dren for want of the neoessaries of life
Leastwise, it was about the same thing. Thar
was plenty of meat, an abundance of corn,
and no scarcity of chicken; but the rivers
were dry, an whisky ran entirely short. Some
prudent people laid in q sufficient stock. but
the most had not. How to bring M n
family thout red-eye was o puzzler. and
the suffering was enormous. DIR. Kellum
was in trouble too he sympathized with his
neighbors, but he had half barrel of ninety
hve per cent. alcohol in his office, and as far
as he was concerned, he managed to fix up,
with sugar an water, an gum, an ether, an
slch truck, until he made purity fair drink.
Seein' was friend of his, he invited me to
ss9ple it, Well, it kinder filled the room
with smell, an just then man from the Mud
River Country came in, on his way to Raleigh
Cote House. He smelt the smell, and says:-

The Fur Trade of Alaska.

A measure having the very desirable object
OF regulating the trade in the skins of fur
seals IN Alaska, and preventing the extermi-
nation OF the animals themselves, is befor-.

fur-seals have been observed t. 'lS .ilo WIG
islands of st. George ar - nahe 'no
breeding place and ~ Ii ot. faul tneir
and departing -arsery, coming IN april
So far aiter the middle OF Sep!emper'
uon OF the fur-seals upon these islands would
involve the entire extinction of the race, and
the operation could be easily effected, as
these animals have but imperfect means of
escape or defense ON shore. The bill pro-
yides that the islands shall constitute q mill
tary district, with suitable officials and under
proper restrictions. The exclusion of
spirituous liquors is compulsory. There
shall be only one harbor for the trade
in skins, "to be continued as military
reservations" vessels are not allowed to
cruise or anchor elsewhere within five miles
Of the shore, or any person to effect land
ing at anyother point on the islands. The
trade thence shall only be with San Francisco,
where two dollars per skin shall be collected
in lieu of all other Government dues. The
number of seals to be killed, and the season
when killing is permitted, shall be made the
subject of rules and regulations by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. 1t shall be unlawful to
kill female seals, or male "pups" less than a
year old. The use of firearms against seals
will not be permitted, nor shall anybody do
anything to drive them away. The privilege
of hunting is only allowed to natives or one
year residents. The War and Navy Depart
ments will assist in enforcing the regulations,
and the penalties for violation of the provi.
sions of the act are $500 fine and six months
imprisonment for each offense. Aside from
economical and humane considerations there
may be family reasons for preserving these
amphibians. Some disciple of Darwin may
yet find among them the ancestor of hu

Large Heads.

A general idea holds ground that large
heads mean large intellects, that weight of
brain indicates mental strength. But this
notion is false one; one fact will disprove
it. Man is inferior to some apes in the pro-
portion which his brain bears to his body.
When we come to animals the differences are
very striking. A continental Psychologist
has been gaugiag the skulls of different
quadrupeds and weighing their contents.
There are beasts whose instinct approaches
TO reason, and we style such intelligent; their
high instinct is not, however, commensurate
with their cerebral developments. To range
few of the commonest animals in the order
of brain weights we have the following de-
clining scales: Cat, dog, rabbit, sheep, ass,
pig horse, and OK. The two last have the
same weight of nerve centre in proportion to
the capacity of their bodies, but they have
only a sixth part of that of the first on the
list that is to say, the cat has six times as
much brain in proportion to her size as the
horse has in proportion to his size. The pig
has more than the horse, the sheep more than
the pig. Who would have thoEght it? Eyi-
IDENTIFY there are brains and brains. The
facts almost set us wondering whether the
brain has anything to do with the intellect
at all.

Ladies' who have been troubled by having
bad servant girls may be interested in the
following passage from an article furnished
by one of their sex to the New York Eoening
Mail -
Can you fancy yourself in foreign land,

physical wants of strangers, for a sum that
keeps you simply in decent garb of Sun

day, but with the same tread-mill of

it too much, then, to hear friendly
word now and again from CHEEKY

to your homes and friends; to have an illus
trated paper offered to you occasionally to
brighten your life and give you some notions
of the outside world. And, granting your re-
igious faith differed from that of your em-
ployer, would it tend to make you more
bigoted or more liberal if she should OCCASION
ally tell you what was doing in your own
church, without any accompanying comment,
leaving the truth to work itself out, but
showing you that she was interested ii all
